One reason for the evident lack
of order in this household II the
fact that its mistress is a prom
inent anti-suffragist and clubwom-
an. She spends her days debating
to her secretary, speaking at pub
lie meetings, travelling about the
country on club affairs, and dedi-
eating her life to the principle that
a woman's place is in the home. 1t

that thelast time guests were in

REDS WIN SERIES

The worlds baseball championship
pennant for 1919 will fly from Red
land Field, Cincinnati, next season.
Pat Moran's athletics invaded
hostile territory Thursday and an
nexed the eighth and deciding game
against the Chicago White Sox by
a score of 10 to 5.
AS expert baseball it was as funny
as a sack race. Nearly everything
possible happened, including a comic
four-run rally by the athletes in the
pale hosiery. 1t never would have
happened just as it did if the sun
had not entered the lists and blinded
the visiting fielders. 1t was all the
funnier for the reason that the Sox
were nine runs behind at the time.
The Reds, after dropping two
, games on their own grounds on the
banks of the Ohio, permitting the
Sox to get back in the running for
the big emblem, started after the de-

Gliding game at the onset. They des-
cended on Claude Williams left
handed offerings with a determine
ton which sent him into seclusion
before the second man was out, and
Bill James, who hurls from the other
side, was trotted out. Three runs
were scored off Williams and one
off James. 1t was the latter's first
appearance in the series, and he led
a terrible life until the sixth, when,
with two men on the sacks he was
given the beckoning finger by Man
ager Gleason and Roy Wilkinson,
also a right-hander, came forth to
remain through the holocaust. The
result Of the eight games played was
Cincinnati, 8; Chicago, 3.

NO COST TO THE PEOPLE

Neither the Insurance Rating Blu
reau at Frankfort, nor the State
Fire Marshaps office costs the peo-
pie of Kentucky a penny, according
to a statement given out at Demo-
cratic headquarters in Louisville.
The salaries and expenses of both
offices are paid from fees collected
from the insurance companies and
even if the contention of the Repub-
licans that the policyholders in the
end pay this expense through their
premiums is admitted, the expense
would be so small as not to amount
to 2 cents on the policy.
The Fire Marshal's office is one
of the most useful to the citizens of
any in the State. The reduction in
the number of fires by rigid inspec-
ton and insistence on compliance
with the law has resulted in the saw
ing of millions of dollars in property
and many human lives. Besides as q
result of inspections the insurance
on property has been reduced an6
the State itself has saved in insur.
ance thousands of dollars. Fire pre-.
vention has been taught through
bulletins. The office has issued ant
served in the past four years more
than 10000 orders to owners Of
property relating to the elimination
of fire hazard.

B. Sewell, in his report on the Fire

TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS


munity confronts each individual.
Some pass it lightly by, giving it lit
tie thought, and less observance, but
not so the thoughtful parent or
teacher to whom the care of children
is entrusted.
Obedience should underly the life
Of each of us; it is essential to hap
piness. Only as we learn to listen
and obey are we fitted to take our
rightful place in society. We must
obey the laws of nature if we would
be healthy, the laws Of home and
community if we would he worthy
members Of each group, and above
all, there must be obedience to the
moral law.
Since obedience is such an import
ant factor in each life, how can we
best teach it to the child without de-
stroying his individuality
Many mothers admit their inabil-
ity to obtain obedience, and teachers
are often asked, "How do you make
him obey, he does not mind me at
allf" A dreadful confession, but
since it is made, let us try to help
these mothers.
First let us ask a few questions /:
do you govern your child by
love or by fearf
2-Are you honest with himf
3-Are your demands reasonable
and do you explain why you make
certain requirements?
4-Do you talk indiscreetly before
your child and admit your inability
to control hint
5-Do you require prompt obedi-
ence or do you tolerate disobedience
and belated performance of dutyf
These questions are all involved in
obedience.
In dealing with children we should
give the reasons for our conduct, il
possible. Of course, there are some
things which cannot be explained
and we should frankly admit it
$ there are others which we cannot ex.
l. plain to young children and We
l. should promise to do so when they
m are older.
~ A spiritual question arose one day
u in Sunday School class which was
10 rather complex to explain to little

W ter, for the children had often pulled
'e up the tiny oaks and found the acorl

sprouted.
