WHAT'S WHAT
by HELEN pECTE

The spoiled child was In evidence be-
fore Solomon's time, and no doubt, the
type will remain with the race until
Doomsday. The nursery tyrant is al
ways on his worst behavior when guests
are present. In the illustration, an en-.
fant terrible is kicking the hapless vis-
itor. upon whom. for business reasons,
both host and hostess are anxious to
make favorable impression. The en-
barrassed mother is utterly Incapable OF
controlling the infantile fury the spoiled
child has ruined the all-important visit.
Overindulgent parents are continually
full savagery. Discipline should rule the
child from his first CONSEQUENCES of adult
authority. Ho should be taught to lisp
polite greetings. to answer civilly when
all times Then, and then only. will he
be likely to "behave in company"

Good Causes and Poor Tunes.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw, who has fallen
foul of "The Red Flag" which he re-
CARDS as an air that would ruin any
movement, seems to forget that many
a good cause has been supported by
a poor tune. The Belgian national an
them is a remarkably inane melody
but that did not impair the resistance
of Liege. And neither the words nor
music of "God Save the King" are
particularly uplifting. The air OF
"Lillibullero," that is said to have
whistled James II off the throne or
England. cannot have been a very dis
tinguished one, for nowadays no
one seems to know what 1t was. On
the other hand the Russian national
anthem was easily one of the most
stirring examples OF its kind In Eu-
rope, but 1t did not save Russia from
collapse. II the soviets have provided
a substitute for it the result would
probably please Mr. Shaw as little as
"The Red Flag" which ne considers
should be rechristened "The Eternal
March of a Fried Eel."-Manchester

Thinks Earth viii Last Many Years.

In recent lecture Sir oliver Lodge.
the eminent English scientist, an
nounced that the earth would prob
ably continue TO exist for 20,OOO,OOO
years more. These are, Of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age. There have been ami
mails of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have
lived through some such period. The
age of man. which is probably only a
few thousand years, seems the merest
trihe by comparison. When we con-
slider how man has developed during
recorded history, which is less than
ten thousand years, we may hope
that he will evolve to an Infinitely
finer type in the future.-Boys' Life.
