CULTIVATE YOUR CHILD'S
CONFIDENCE AND BE
HIS CLOSEST FRIEND
(Bv Martha GaIaudet Waring.)

A little child begins by telling
mother" everything. Bumps or bruises,
joys or sorrows, all are brought to her
as naturally as the child draws breath,
and this continues as long as he is to-
tally unconscious of himself as an In
dividual.
The time for special care is when
he becomes aware of himself as sep
arate entity. From this time on, a
cold look. an indifferent air, an unin-
terested attitude, word of ridicule
or sarcasm may wound the child's
sense of confidence or justice so deep
ly that he will shrink within himself
and never again show his inmost
thoughts or most sacred feelings to
his mother or to anyone else. ln-
calculable harm is done through thot-
lessness, even BY the most devoted par
ents. in failing to recognize this stage
of the child's development and to rev
erence his individuality and his right
to it. The mother loses the greatest
power for good she possesses, and miss
es the greatest JOY and recompense she
can have by not sharing her child's
hopes and fears. his troubles and tri-
umphs. The bitter experience will
come to her sooner or later of realiz-
ing that her child is sharing these with
another person who must, therefore, be
spiritually nearer to him than she is.
There are a few absolutely certain
ways of avoiding this catastrophy
which have been used over and over
again by wise and devoted mothers.
One is, never fail to listen attentively
and sympathetically, no matter at
what inconvenience, giving your best
wisdom to help your child see his
problem clearly for himself.
Another is. respect your child as a
spiritual being. an individual as diff
ferent from all other individuals as
God meant him to be. Meet him on
his own ground, and do not try to
make him conform to pattern OF
your own.
Respect your choId's confidence alb
solutely. Once betrayed, it may never
be given again. :,

Gen. Sherburne; Undoubtedly, but
what do they mean by thatp
Sen. Wadsworth. They mean uni
versal obligation to be trained.
Gen. Sherburne: They mean uni-
versal obligation to be trained, or they
mean high school training. You do not
define it. That's the danger. If it is
universal military service, they are all
against it. Now that is the only fair
way,-to come straight out and say
that you intend three months compuI-
sorry service because that is what it is.
What this country needs, more than
anything else, is framework. 1t has
been my experience. dealing with cisi-
zens who have donned the uniform,
that it is a very quick piece of busi-
ness to train them. For example, there
is the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh
Field Artillery Brigade of colored men
who went into line with less than 90
days of actual artillery training and
who were highly spoken of by the
French. They did their job in every
case. Our men are very quick to learn.
This talk that you cannot make sol
dier in less than three years is perfect
and utter rot and do not hesitate to
characterize it as such. You can make
a soldier in three weeks with the prop
er leadership; the whole question
hinges on the proper leadership.
General Sherburne had some heter-
odox ideas about discipline. as the
committee found out before it got thru
with him. Speaking of the influence
Of the Regular Army traditions upon
Our democratic fighting forces, the
General said:
Gen. Sherbume: Our general staff
is patterned almost exactly on the pre-
war German staff methods. Well, per-
haps it would be invidious to go very
much farther on that line, but take,
for instance, the question of saluting.
Undoubtedly you gentlemen have talk
ed to private soldiers. | can tell you
as a general, going around in Cadil-
lac limousine, that my arm has gotten
SO lame from saluting that / have
pulled down the curtains of my car SO
] would not have to salute. | have seen
boys sitting along the road who would
have to jump up and salute every few
minutes, and if they did not they new
er knew when they were going 70 get

ficers stop their cars md get out and
go back and call poor doughboys, treat
them like dogs. because they were
marching along the road, perhaps tired
out and had failed to salute, | have
seen that time after time.
1t is a little thing in itself, perhaps,
but | tell you gentlemen, it is the out
ward and visible sign of an inward and
invisible condition that ought not to
be.

PAPER-YARN INDUSTRY GIVEN
IMPETUS BY NEW DISCOVERY

Paper yarn has proved satlstac-
tory material for many purposes, and
has even been used for clothing, espec-
ialIv in Germany, during the war. But
such clothing attracted moisture and
could not be made rainproof, mainly
because the yarn used was flat" or
''half-fIst." Recently. however, scien-
fists, who have been experimenting
with a view to correcting this fault,
have found that by giving the paper
strips a good twisting while they are
being spun, the individual cellulose fl
bers become entwined; that is, the re-
sulting yarn has gone through an ac-
tuaI spinning process. This would
seem to open wider field for the pa

The national sports of Europe were
for a long time confined to tOurna-

participated in by nobility, with the
king as spectator.
The tournaments saw companies of
from five to a dozen knights ranged
against each other in the field, with
judges to see that the regularly set
rules be observed. The plan of each
contestant was to unhorse the other
by blow with blunt lance received
full from in front. A knight thrown
