depriving him of an education, but
also making life bitter and unbearable
for him. Any mother who will take
twelve dollars a week from him who
ought to be her own dear boy cannot
expect him to respect him in the
years to come. Instead of spending 1t
all for the home, she should lay aside
a portion for Dawes education. My

me all the blame? Why should l

you don't call yourself SELFISH"
.... Listen, child said Athena, quietly
John Hast is a very different type
CT man from your Jim. You cannot
use the same method with all men.
Ny old man is a dreamer, an imprac-
ticDi soul who had to be left alone a
lot in order not to ruin the working
out of his ideas and ideals. Too close
contact with such man, as in ordin-
airy morried life, for instance, would
make John peevish, fretful man
and failure to boot. Your Jim, on
the other hand, will harden into stone
if left to himself. He will grow cyni-

After all is said and done, the newsprint

mounting cost of converting that distant

We will not get anywhere by thinking
in terms of the past: the past brought
upon us our present crisis; the sooner We
forget it and think and act in terms pi the

We must force consumption down to
