Training Little Children
Unwise Reading, Storytelling Threats Fill the Child With
Fear-Often When Child Lies 1t Is Because He Is
Afraid of Being Misunderstood or Punished

are not born unseliish. We have to
be taught this virtue and OF course
the greatest teacher OF all is love.
| am inclined to think love is the
only teacher. Henderson says: "To
get children interested in imper-
Sonal things is to make them un-
ayoidably unselfish. Solitary chill
dren, only sons and daughters, are
as a rule extremely selfish, for the
simple reason that their lives have
been SO overwhelmingly personal
The way out is through group ac-
tivities on the part OF the whole
family, through pleasures as we'll
as through service, Ii life is to be
permanently successful, and hap
piness genuine and secure, the ma
jor interest must be impersonal,
must have to do with something
bigger than the little sell, must con-
Germ itself with the abiding and
universtl things"

Ardmore Engineers
Commended for Work
By ColonelHo Ho6Hman

\ letter from Capt. II. II. Sayrc,
Company E lli,i Engineer; made
9p almoat entirely OF Arllaoye
men, has been resolved by the Ard
moreite in which CGltaia Sayrc en-
closed a re0crr from Col. G.. NJ.
Hoffman, c. T., lst Army Corps,
on the work performed by the
lllth Engineers. Captain Sayre
stated that Companies + and A
OF the lllth Engineers were as
signed the task OF opening a road
that had been blown up by the
Germans at Bricules-sur-Bar."
at was necessary to open up this
road in order to get supplies OF all
kinds, rations, ammunition, etc. TO
the front, and in order to do so it
was necessary to construct cor
duroy road through a swamp, and
later 4 plank road for more per-
manent highway. This work was
performed under very adverse CON
ditlonS, and traiiic kept moving
both day and night Both OF these
companies were personally com
plimened by the officer in charge
OF transportation OF the And Di-
vision upon the efficient way in
which this work was performed
This officer advised me personally
that he would write to Corps
Headquarters commencing the
companies for the work they had
done. Colonel Hoffman was there
personally while most. OF this work
was being done. and the enclosed
report from him was probably
largely due to what he had observed
during that time.
"KindcSt personal regards to all
the members OF The Ardmoreitc
staff and through them to the peo-
pie OF Ardmore. ! hope to have
the pleasure OF returning in the
near future with Company f and
thanking them and the people OF
Ardmorc for all they have done
Following is the report from Col
oncl Hoffman:
Hoffman's Report
|. The lllth Engineers was as
signed as Corps engineer regiment,
lst Army Corps, just as the San
Alihiel offensive was beginning;
and it continued rs such through
oht that section and the operations
from the Argonne Forest - the
Meusc rivera total period OF over
two months.
2. The service rendered were OF
inestmable yaNc. Every call made
upon the organization and upon
the officers and men was met not
only efficiently but cnthusiastical-
ly regardless OF adverse conditions
OF weather, fatigue from long
marches and day and night labor
often required, and danger from
enemy lire.
;. Road, bridge and other COM
munication work on which the rcgi-
mcnt was principally engaged
proved to he practically OF equal
importance ior successful oiicn-
sive with that OF fighting itself
Everywhere the Germans proved to
be masters of the art OF defense by
means OF artillery and machine gun
fire from selected positions and
nests from which in many eases
they could he dislodgcd only by
bringing up our artillery and de-
luging them with fire from field
pieces, l55S and even heavieS. Much
OF the success attained by our
American divisional and Corps ar
tillery was due to the pormptness
with which destroyed roads and
bridges were built or repaired,

Manner in Which Confiscated Coal Is
Handled May Come Before City Board

County attorney Brown is in receipt
of an anonymous letter, bearing the
signature, "J. c. w" containing a mum.
ber Of serious charges relative to the
manner in which the fuel administra.
tion is being conducted in Ardmore.
The county attorney has suggested
that the letter be given publicity in
the Ardmoreite, but inasmuch as it
bears no authentic signature. and for
the further reason that the county
attorney has not expressed his inten-
ton of proceeding in the matter, the
communication cannot be published.
However, when Jock Baird, who has
charge of the distribution of the coal
which has been seized, was called over
the phone, he stated that he was sell
ing the coal, handling the same for the
city, at $40 per ton, when taken at the
car. and S1l per ton, when the coal
has to be delivered.
Mr.. Baird said that he was hasing
this price upon the retail price fixed
by the federal fuel administration, and
that this is the price at which he has
been selling coal which he bought Mt
wholesale himself, and retailed to the
consumer

Beckett Stupid Says Expert

LONDON, Dec. j.-EXperts, in cont
menting on last nights fight in which
Georges Carpenter of France knocked
out Joe Beckett of England, in the first
round, concur in saying that victory
went to the best man because Of speed
and cleverness. Beckett's manager r
Gays Carpenter "hrought off million
to one chance" but the Daily Mails
critic accused Beckett of Sheer stu
pidity."
Beckett had by q long way the best
cf the handicap this expert writes.
"Iie was superior in height, weight
and reach. He is a great fellow phys.
cally, but the less said about his judg
ment the better. Perhaps he was over
confident, but anyway he gave his
opponent a chance which no novice
would have offered. The blow with
which Carpenter won was too simple
for words. 1t could have been avoided
easily and the counter to it would
have been an extremely dangerous
blow, yet Beckett walked right into the
danger zone. What he did was simple
and stupid, and there is no excuse for
him."
After Carpenter had been carried
about the ring, the Prince of Wales
cordially shook his hand and congratu'
lated him. The prince also shook Beck
ett's hand, saying Better luck next
time"

vice on railroads in the eastern region
extending as far west rs st, Louis and
Chicago was reduced to a war basis
today by drastic orders effective Dec.
10, issued by a. Y. Harding, regional

from the schedule today to save fuel.
