THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
TRAIN IMAGINATION

In the care of children the mother,
who should be a combination of
trained nurse and psychologist,
must be just as sure to give her
child the correct thought combina-
tions as she is to give him the right
food. Many a child's senses origin
ally keenly alive have beer ~a-
tarded by the narrow vision of the
mother who failed TO uhueIsta.I
her child's capacity.
Focus a child's attention on some
thing he can understand and you
can easily lead him into the fields of
Imagination. 1t must be understood
that subjective attention follows
objective. The things that are un-
known become known by those that
are known. Commencing with what
a child sees. hears, smells, feels
and tastes, we conduct him by sue
cessive steps to what he can only
conceive.
He sees a cat and he comes to
know how a tiger looks. The sand
pile is a mountain where he will
go travelling with father. The pool
of water Is the ocean where Uncle
Sans soldiers crossed. After several
years of mind training the concep-
tive faculty is so far developed that
he can think of this earth as a vast
globe.
The child. whose mother starts his
Imagination working. will amuse
himself for hours and when he
reaches school age the whole idea
will not be a new and terrorizing
experience. AS the Individual grows
older the process of reasoning
passes from the objective to the
subjective and from the subjective
to the conceptive and from concep-
tive thought to the idea of guam
tity and It's relations. From the
idea of quantity and it's relations
to the higher ideas of comparisons,
judgments and conclusions. 1t is
not the reading of books" but the
training of the senses that really
educates.

DIFFICULT PERSON.

Barbara Wales was a woman OF
nfty-odd. but so well preserved and
80 carefully turned out that few
people suspected her age. She was
only second cousin to Alison on
her fathers side. but so thoroughly
did she dlsapprovo of Atherton. her
only other remaining relative, that
she ceased to speak to him on the
day that his wife received her de-
cree of divorce.
She was a woman of abnormally
violent likes and dislikes and, un-
fortunately. the latter were more
frequent and permanent than the
former. Gossip credited her with
being a man-hater and there was
q story of a faithless lover-some
even said it had been a husband
who had embittered her against all
of his sex. Not even Charlie Ather-
ton knew for a certainty, since she
had lived abroad for many years.
She was known to be the greatest
enemy to domestic happiness that
any married couple could entertain
in their house. Given to spreading
suspicion by innuendo, a shrug and
q little gesture typically foreign.
she had brought distrust into many
q happy home. 1t was she who had
driven the first wedge into the rift
between Atherton and his wife
which had widened until the di-
vorce court of a Western State
stood between them.
Alison recalled this. as she pre-
eeded her young husband into the
drawing room, where her mother
was fairly grovellng before Bar
bara Wales wrath.
$50 here you are!" exclaimed Miss
Wales. as Alison entered. II must
say IL is about time! I expected
you to meet me at the train. Your
mother says you didn't receive my
wire"
NO, Cousin Barbara" Alison
kissed her relatives cold cheek. II
am very sorry. We were dining
with Lawrence's mother" she
stepped back and took her young
husbands arm. This is Lawrence
she said proudly.
Miss Wales looked her new rela-
tive over from his well-clipped hair
TO his Immaculate white oxfords.
Hmm" she said dryly, How do
you do"
Osborne, nothing daunted by this
acknowledgment extended his hand
with a grin.
IT'S great to meet you, Miss
Wales, I've heard a lot about you"
She eyed him stonily.
Apparently you have not heard
all that you should. or you would
never have done such a preposter-
Gus thing as to elope with Alison"
But we didn't elope,' began Os-
borne patiently for the twentieth
time that day, I'VE
"And your delay in notifying me
that the marriage had taken place
was most reprehensible." she went
on. Emily" turning to Mrs. Ather-
ton, II cannot understand your be-
havior in the matter Alison was
probably too much of a love-sick
fool to wire me, but at least you
should have thought Of It"
Mrs. Atherton had lost much OF
her calm assurance. She flushed
Euiltily and stammered:

TENANTS FIGHT
RENT INCREASE
Supreme Court Requested
To Take Hand in South

RECEIVER Is DESIRED
Affidavit Declares Raises of

RECEIVER IS DESIRED

The District Supreme Court was
asked yesterday to step In. and
through the appointment of re-
ceiver, prevent increases in rent
ranging from 100 to 200 per cent on
office space occupied by tenants in
the Southern Building at Fifteenth
and H streets northwest, owned and
controlled by the Southern Realty
Corporation.
The request was made by William
F. Thyson, Edward J. Walshe. Will

receivers for the First National Fire
Insurance, a parent concern of the
Southern Realty Corporation.
These receivers ask for a decree
setting aside as invalid the deed
from the First National Fire Insur-
ance Company 10 the Southern
Realty Corporation, involving the
Southern Building, dated May %.
1917.
The request is made on the ground
that the realty corporation is gross
ly mismanaging the building.
An affidavit, signed by Jo " Nor
gan, one of the attorneys in the
case, declares that increases from
100 to 200 per cent have been de-
manded, the tenants receiving no.
tice, he claims, in June that the
Few rates would be effective on Au-
gust l.
Morgan further states that for the
most part the affected tenants would
be unwilling to inject the extortIon-
ate demands OF the management OF
the Southern Building and will va
cate the Offices they now occupy"
To combat the proposed increase,
Morgan states, a movement is on
foot among the threatened tenants
TO erect a building of their own.
Morgan compares the rentals re-
ceived for Offices in the Woodward
Building across the street. the Will
lIins Building. and other large office
buildings nearby with the proposed
increases in rentals in the Southern
Building. The greatest increase in
any OF these other buildings is thirty
per cent and the lowest ten per cent.
Morgan declares he believes that,
although the first trust of $900,000
on the Southern Building natures in
February, 1922, and a second trust
of nearly $780, 900 natures in Aprii
of the same year, no sinking fund
is being created to aid in the re-
tirement or reduction Of these
amounts.
The case will have the attention

What 5 in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
DORCAS.

The quaintest and most charm,
ing of old-fashioned names is Dor
cas-, now regarded as a Puritan
name, but once in general and wide
spread usage. 1t signifies "a
gazelIe" and curiously its signifi-
canoe. has become so much a part
of the name that its psychic emana-
tions would seem to influence it's
bearer toward modesty and shyness
of bearing.
Dorcas comes from the Greek
word which indicates the full, dark
eye of the gazelle. st. Luke makes
Dorcas identical with the Aramean
Tabitha, another name very popular
in Puritanical nomenclature. Ac-
cording to the Scriptures, Dorcas
was a woman raised from the dead
by Peter at Joppa. She was Chris
tian disciple who had made coats
and garments" for the poor. For
this reason, church sewing societies
are frequently called Dorcas socie-
ties and the aura of charity sur
rounds the quaint little name.
The diamond is the talismanic
gem assigned to Dorcas. 1t is said
to give her superior strength, for
titude and courage. and, IL worn
upon her left arm, will protect her
from all adversely. Sunday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.
The violet signifying modesty. is
her flower.
