GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

From such survey as has been made ~ the duties that devolved upon it un- der the legislation that has been passed, the shipping board has reached the con- elusion that there should be a definite Separation of the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation, and be- Ing convinced of that need has pro- oeeded to put it into operation. Hence forth the fleet corporation will have charge of the operation of the ships and the handling of the physical prop arties. while the board will devote itself e the development of merchant ma fine under the provisions of the law, exercise such supervisory powers as are Intended and dictate the policies that nus. be followed.
 In connection with the divorce of the tUo organizations Chairman Lasker vel points out the new relationship when he declares that the shipping board will henceforth stand in the game relation to the fleet corporation that the interstate commerce commis- sion does to the railroads, except that lt will have the power to veto acts ot the corporation and will have the au- thority to dispose of the ships. But just the same as the railroads are charged vith the responsibility of operating the nses under the restrictions imposed by the commission, so the fleet corporation will take over the responsibility of op. srating the ships, and it is believed that .it has been placed in the hands of men who are competent to see that such op. sration is handled in an efficient man. nez.
 This would appear to be a move tha would end a certain amount of the over tapping of authority and uncertaint! that has existed concerning these twc organizations With the shipping board freed from the operating responsibilitie 1t will have chance to study the ship ping conditions, the laws under whicl the merchant marine Is supposed to d. business and to be thus in a better DO Etton to discover what the handicap uf American shipping are and presen them in such a way as to bring abou he necessary remedial legislation.

FIGHTING THE COAL TAX.

Ever since the state of Pennsylvania proposed the placing of a tax on an- tEracite coal there has been evidence of much opposition from mahy directions Not until recently has it come to a head, however, but as the result of the conference of representatives of the New England states and New York a commit tee has been named to confer with the attorney general and public officials of Pennsylvania and the federal depart nent of justice for the purpose of de- termining what can be done to over come or remove the tax.
 The tax which Pennsylvania has in- posed has been variously estimated to amount to from r to 50 cents. It is certain of course that while the coal companes will be the ones to pay the tax directly they will pass 1t along to the consumer and 1t is estimated by coal men that the consumer will be made to pay from 30 to 50 cents be- cause of the Pennsylvania levy
 Pennsylvania is placing tax upon a state product in a way that raises a question as to whether it is constitu- tional. For the purpose of determining this and to secure such relief as is possible for this part of the country the New England authorities, includ- ing a representative from the attorney general of Connecticut, are acting. Just where such a practice may lead to is plainly evident when it is realized what might happen should there be a, tax placed upon bituminous coal or in fact other products from other states intend ed for domestic consumption.
 At the present stage every household CT who uses anthracite has reason to be interested in the outcome. The tax isn't large but 1t serves to increase the price of a commodity that Is already i high and it means the payment of many hundred thousand dollars by the people of this state to aid the running of the state of Pennsylvania. The imposition of the tax has not been blocked and It now remains to be seen whether it can be removed. Connecticut eagerly await, the result.

some physical treason that we can helu. If child is in a bad temper the first thing to do is to quiet him. How? By being very quiet 0urseivcs, but very firm, letting him see our strength and boise and then trying to find out what has stirred him. By our talking it over with him and letting him pour it out his nerves will be freed and he will have an outlet for his passion. If he seems un- controllable and it is impossible to talk wth him. put him by himself until he is more calm. While he Is in temper be careful not to leave him where he can break or destroy anything. Often his outburst is like a thunder storm. the thunder and lightning are tremendou. while they last, but are soon over. Then, just as soon as possible, direct the child get him interested and busy about something.
 A much harder type of child to dea, with and one that tries our patience more, is the sullen child. He makes no outlet for himself like the angry child who vents his temper in scream. and passionate talk. His bad tempe, works all on the inside. He broods over the trouble, distorting and enlarsins it b, dwelling upon it. Ne usually refuse. comfort or sympathy and seeme to erjo, shutting himself away from everyone. H, Is usually sensitive child-shy. lacking confidence in himself, inclined to dwel upon himself too much. What can we ds with such a chH? He won't talk tn, trouble out, like the high-tempered child and 1t Is unwfse to put him by hfrnsel as you would the hish-tempered child Give him something to be busy abou just as soon as possible, Work is evel more necessary for him than for an, other type of child. for we must get hin out of himself.
 If possible. have him work where h will have the companionship of his broth CTS and sfsters. or perhap he can hel you in what you are doing. Work is
 blessing for mot peron. but for no on
 more than for the child who is incline l to live his little life inside Of himself This type of child is usually reserved an | takes things hard, but to the few peopl | he loves he gives a wealth of affectio and loyalty and usually he has a deer strong nature which is sincere and true.

sNUB NOSES

Some people consider snub noses pret- ty. Some don't.
 But in either case the chances are that they are not thinking of, or referring to the real, honest-to-goodness snub nose, but rather of what passes for it In our careless speech.
 So far as the real snub nose is con cerned, not even a mother could contend that it was mark of beauty in her adult boy or girl. The real snub nose is con- siderably more snubbed than the one we ordinarily designate as snub.
 It indicates an elemental nature, both temperamentally and mentally. It does not, as a rule go with marked mental at tainments. Its possessors are not likely to have studious tastes, but when faced with study they take it, as they do most everything else, in very literal sense.
 Simplicity, straightforwardness and naivete are the keynotes of their charac- ter, and you will do well if you do not rely upon them too implicitly for results in any task that requires imagination ol foresight.
 For the rest, they may be active or pas sive, intuitive or thoughtful, irritable ol l amiable, whimsical or steady, as may bt indicated by the many other characteris | tics by which, in combination with theil snub noses, you should form your opinior of things. Tomorrow-Hairy Hands

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
Dealing With the Angry ohila.

Of the many problems which confront a mother, one of the hardest Is that of meeting in the wisest way the mdesira- ble traits that appear in children. In dealing with these problems there are two great helps. First. sense of l1umor. If child comes down to breakfast suI- len and bad-tempered, make some little joke, it helps to clarify the atmosphere. q don't mean laugh at the child, that only adds fuel to the freD but do some amusing thing, or tell a funny story and you will make the clouds vanish Ike magic. Parents who appreciate fun and who are the real companions of their little ones have the happiest and most affectionate children. But most import ant of all is grace. Grace is that lovely, loving spirit which, no matter how try ing the children are, cannot be disturb ed. We cannot have this of ourselves, 1t is the gift of God. He says, My grace is sufficient for thee" so, when the chil. dren are noisy and naughty and our nerves seem just about in pieces, let us say this over and over mentally and we shall be surprised at the peace and quietness within ourselves that will fol- low.
 Granted that we have sympathy and poise ourselves. we are in fit condition to help our children to overcome their faults. Often children are cross. and nauty because they are over-tired, over excited or hungry. We must be sure that their naaghtiness does not come iron

TO PLEASE AUNT MATILDA

"I've been shopping with my dear Aunt Matilda from Kansas" explained the limp girl with the melting eyes as she wreathed herself among the cush- ions of the couch in the sorority house. T am extremely devoted to her, but let me tell you that it Is likely to be the end of me yeti"
 'Was she afraid to cross the street ?" inquired the girl with the permanent wave.
 The limp coed sat up with jerk. '"That was the best thing she did" she streets 1 would not now be strongly started. If she hadn't crossed so many convinced that somebody has wished upon me an extra size pair of feet which do not belong to me. She wanted to take advantage of the sales and buy ready made dress and said all right, we would go to Blinkinson's store Aunt Matilda said she liked that store very well, but that she was bound te get the worth of her money and in- tended looking around.
 "She said she had heard splendid paper read at their literary club by one of their brightest members and il had particularly pointed out the folly of taking the first thing you say tha you liked because you were likely tt walk right by the next store window and see the same thing for a dollal less and then what would you thinl of yourself?"
 q could tell her." offered the gir with the permanent wave. Away after I buy anything the papers burs out the next day in frantic advertise ments offering the identical garmen at 50 per cent discount"
 Dragging Aunt Matilda through tn bargain seeking rush." pushed the linn coed, i've reached the dresses at Blink inson's, and strange to say found Jus exactly what she wanted inside of ffv minutes, and it fitted her perfectly an was $10 less than she had expected t pay.

other stores on her list and she in tended looking over their stock to be perfectly sure she was doing the best thing for herself!
 .There was the football fight out in the street before reaching the next portal, the exciting contest with a mob of other desperate women at the ele- vators and the struggle to grab a clerk. There didn't seem to be any thing better at the second store. Aunt Matilda rather perferred the shade of the most possible gown, but was not 50 fond of the style. Anyhow. it was too narrow across the shoulders and, moreover, it was SIS more than the one at Blinkinson's. So, taking large. long breaths. we braved the human tor rent and tackled No. 8. There we found a perfectly sweet dress, except that it was neither the color, make or size for which Aunt Matilda was searching She regretted that dress immensely and though the clerk told her it was a 3S, while Aunt Matilda Is a A, she insisted on trying it on just to get an idea of what she would have looked like if she. could have worn it.

Carrying Out an Idea

Barbara was four years old. One day she disappeared and after vainly search ing for her all over the neighborhood the father got into his motor car and began a search of the streets. About a half hour later he found her walking as fast as she could go toward nearby woods, clutching. a tiny basket n her hand.
 Where have you been, Barbara and for goodness sake where are you going? her father asked her worriedly. You have nearly worried your mother and me to death.''
 Well, I had an idea and I though I'd carry it out" replied Barbara with an impish grin. ,
