CHILDREN LOVE TO INITIATE
(Utilize this power to encourage
sweetness and beauty of voice.)

(Utilize this power to encourage
sweetness and beauty of voice)
BY CLARA II. BURROUGHS.
What a large part music has and
should have In the lives of all chill
dren! How quickly they respond to
a musical idea, whether of marching
or dancing or funny. song. AL chill
dren should be encouraged to sing, for
the voice is God-given, priceless In
strument that needs no trick for lts
use. And 1t is beautiful in childhood,
before wrong and careless speaking
and singing have made their inroads
Of injury.
We should do all In our power to
encourage this sweetness Of voice by
suggesting a moderate degree OF tone
in speaking and singing, by example
more than precept. Children initiate
so quickly. Mothers quiet voice or
teachers well modulated one Is sure
to have effect.
Very helpful tone exercises may be
given to the children to keep this
beauty of voice, IL given wholly in the
spirit of play. Miss Alys f. Bently

on the part of the child tends to clari-

how quickly children change from
bad or mediocre tone to beautiful

own voices.

Encourage the child to hear tones
In aIl life and initiate them.
These tone plays have been admi'
rably used in interesting little songs
which are exceedingly attractive to
children, chiefly believe. because the
subjects are taken from the child's
own experience In life. One Of the
most charming follows:

AMERICAN MOTHERS
BY DR.. JENNY q. MERRILL

The phenomenal success OF Ameri-
can boys at the front after an unusu-
ally short military training was not
only a great cause of thankfulness. but
Indicated that American mothers
methods of discipline had not been so
indulgent NOR lax in the past as some
good critics have feared. There has
been blessing In disguise in the free
action and self-assertion that are al
lowed American children.
Fifty years. ago little book emitted
"Children's Rights" appeared IN this
country. Perhaps 1t went too fur. but
children have suffered long from too
great severity. Herbert Spencer in
England wrote of children's rights as
well us of women's. The words of pro-
gressive thinkers on both subjects were
needed. Later from Sweden. Ellen
Key sent out 1.-THE Century Of the
Child" Later yet came from Italy
Doctor Montessori's outcry against
suppression of the child by arbitrary
discipline, and her advocacy Of disci-
pline biased on liberty"
Probably all of these leaders directly
or indirectly gained much Of their in
spiration and guidance from Froebel.
"Follow the Child"
Never Fiourished In Germany.
Froebel, the founder of the kinder
garten, was German but not Prussian.
Prussia soon recognized that "democ-
rucy" would be the outcome of his
method and promptly suppressed 1t.
Many do not know that the kindergar-
ten never has fiourished In Germany.
Froebel was in n sense a martyr and
died disappointed with his own ma
tons rejection of the kindergarten.
but with his "eye of faith" he turned
hopefully towards America in which
country, he prophesied. his ideas
would flourish under democratic pro-
lection and guidance.

Search For Wong Murderer
In All Pacific Ports

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Authorities

The murder was not discovered for
two days. If the murderers were Chi'

this would have given them ample time
to arrive on the Pacific coast.
Chinatown here was searched today

The request to look for Wong came

Keneth Aspinwah Wires
OF Experiences On Rhine

Following is an extract from a letter
written by Kenneth -Aspinwall to his
mother, in which he recounts many OF
his experiences in France and Germany
He has been identified with the l67th
regiment, 42nd Rainbow division, which
saw some of the fiercest fighting of
tine war lie says in part:
''I can't write about all the places
[ visited, for there were about thous-
and of them, but will tell some OF the
fronts we were on. First we hiked (at
night Of course) through the mudeand
rain to the Lorraine front-about 10
kllometers. 1t was so dark that we
could not see the man in front OF us,
and we had to hold each others hands
to keep in the road, which was torn
up Dy shells, and that night for the
first time / heard the shells flying over

and Wondered if ] would ever get back.
Put we soon got used to little things

We were on the Lorraine front for
three months That YVES a ''bon'' sec
tor but we didn't know it until we had
seey action ON some other fronts. On
June 18th we had our first gas attack
and bombardment. The 77th division
Tfad relieved us that night, and the Hun
found it out and cave them a warm re-
ccrtion as they came up. We had to
wear our gas masks for six hours and
couldn 4 leave the village of St. Mau-
rice until morning because of the con
ttinuous shell fire.
On July 5th we went into the trench
les on the Champagne front. Every
,hing was quiet there until the 18th
when the Germans put over the heavi
est barrage Of the par and planned to
come right over and take Chslons. We
stopped their offensive, however, and
immediately took the offensive our
selves. We stayed underground about
four days while the firing continued
and then left for Chateau-Thierry. This
regiment had over 1000 casualties in
the first doy S battle at Chateau-Thler

fighting we have to have replacements
before going to the front again.
Sept. 18th we went over the top al
st. Mihiel, and from there went to the
iVerdun front. The first time up was
in the Aronne forest and then to the
heights east of Sedan. From there VIC
were going to Austria to strike from

of the armistice brought us here to Shir

Liberal Offering OF
Livestock In Portlad Yards

North Portland, Or, Feb. 5.---Ship- |
ments for the first two days of the
present week have been fairly liberal
and 95 cars of livestock have been
unloaded at the Portland Union Stock
Yards bringing 1880 head of cattle,
16 calves, $500 hogs and 2020 sheep.
The quality of the stuff was about
average with very little stock that
was of strictly top grade.

et on Monday was characterized by
brislsness and the activity disp,ayed
around the cattle scales on Monday by
buyers was full of life. All that the
shippers had to offer ON Monday con-

ready market by late afternoon. Pric-

be ma very healthy condition with
butchers and packers taking hold in

Hog receipts for Monday and Tues
day were more than adequate to the
demand. Trading around the hog scales
on Monday found bidders unwilling to
take hold at last week $ prices and
the market for the Gay was very STOW
in starting. Prime hogs by Tuesday
morning were being quoted at $1,000
for the top with the bulk of dales at
1860 with a poor demand. Pork has
been moving very slow the past two
weeks and indications from the sales
ON Monday and Tuesday Of this week
seem TO offer little relief. Pigs move
at prices of $14 to $l5.40 and rough
heavies from SIS to SIG.
The sheep market seems to hold
steady with a fair demand for good
quality. Two cars of ewes were weigh
ed up on Monday at 1915. Lambs
