Those Stories,

If a mother can select only one feat
ure of the kindergarten to use In her
home, surely the storytelling period
would be the best choice. There are 80
many opportunities for stories at
home. They will serve as Oil to the
machinery Of bathing, dressing, eating,
and can accompany ironing, the wash
ing Of dishes, hand sewing and the
like. The mother whose mind is well
stored with good tales will not lack
for an appreciative audience. Neither
mother nor child will know boredom,
and empty, tired, fretfu1 hours will be
transformed into happy, healthful,

New York, Feb. 5.-Prediction that the plan of mandatories proposed at the peace conference for the society of nations will prove unsatisfactory was made by William H. Taft, president of the League to Enforce Peace, at the opening here today of the Atlantic congress for a league of nations.

 There should be a court of concilia- tion to consider n-justiciable ques- tiOns.

 MT. Taft said that all nations should be represented in the Ieague and that the number of delegates aI- lotted each should be fixed by charter members.
