WHEN YOU PLAY
By H. Addington Bruce

| usual, children everywhere are MAX
| ~ ing the most of their Christmas vaca-
ton. They are Selling every oppor-
| tunity for enjoyment, are playing every
| Imaginable kind of game, and to every game
| theJ play are giving vast amount Of en-
| thusiasm and effort.
You are, indeed, tempted to smile as you
| observe the ardor with which your own chill
dren engage in their play activities. What
ever the game they happen to select, 1t claims
their undivided attention.
While playing it they have no thought for
other things. 1t is as though they were say
so important as the game in which / am now
taking part" Their concentration on their
games is really remarkable.
1t may also seem amusing to you In the
| light of your larger experience. "These little
Ones" you perhaps reflect, "have great
deal to learn regarding re .ative values. The
time will come when they will appreciate
how unimportant are the games which now
so delight them"
Yet is it not possible that the children
would lose much If their games did not hold
their interest as they do?
Nay is it not possible that you yourself
have lost much through permitting yourself
to "outgrow" Your fervOr for games?
You still play games, you assure me. You
are we'll aware of their helpfulness as means
mindful of the adage, Gall work and no play
makes Jack dull boy"
Yes, but do you really forget your work
in youl play?
That is the essential thing. That is one
of the prime purposes of play. And no one
can really forget his work in his play I'M
less he has retained-or regained-his child
hood zeal for games.
With this zest gone, the mind, no matter
what the game chosen, will continually fit
back to the work one should temporarily for
get. Which means that the brain cells re-
CURED for that work can not possibly obtain
sufficient rest.
Notice what happens in the case Of those
among your acquaintance who, being con-
spicuously hard workers, play mucL as chill
drer do, in the sense that they zestfully con-
contrate on their games.
The energy that they expend on their
games does not seem to lessen in the slight
est their working power. On the contrary,
- seems to, and it actually does, make them
nlLre fit for work. This because their COM
plete forgetfulness Of work during play as
sists to mental refrigeration.
Take hint from their experience and
from the play activities of your children Ac-
custom yourself once more to play ardently,
as assuredly you did when you, too, were a
child.
1t will profit you.

S;on;fcance9

4 YEAR ago when the enrolment of reg
n istered voters in Greater New York
gave to the Republicans a lead of
some 10000, we didn't take much stock
in the claim of the Republican press that
Americas greatest city had turned Repub-
lican. The recent mayoralty campaign
abundantly justified our belief. Mayor
Hylan, Democrat, was reelected by an
unprecedented majority.
The enrolment a year ago meant nothing,
and we feel very much the same way about
this years enrolment, which has just been
completed. 1t shows that the Greater City
is Democratic by exceeding 100000 votes
The theory of the enrolment in New
York is that it reflects the partisan attitude
of the individual voters. The fact, however,
that man or woman enrolls as a Demo-
crat OIL Republican ra Socialist doesn t
mean that the individual so registering will
vote that way in the next subsequent cleo
ton.
The theory of the enrolment is useless
because it fails to take account of the indie
pendent spirit of the individual voter who
after enrolling as a Democrat may take
the notion that his party should be chas-
tised and vote the Republican ticket at the
next election.
Last years enrolment, giving as it did,
the Republicans majority of 10000 vot-
ers may have deceived the Republican lead
ers into insisting on practically straight
Republican ticket this year. The result of
the election must have disillusiored them.
"Analyzed automatically remarks the
New York World, "the figures of the en-
rollment seem to show that the voters have
| no uniform method of describing their polit-
| ical preferences. Rather more than half of
| them stick to a uniform political complex
ion-else the Republican majority in enroll
| ment last year would have been much
| more than $4,000 but a large minority
| shift from side to side, in accordance with
| heir intended vote at the next election -
The significance of the enrolment is
| questionable as it relates to campaign re-
suits, in given election. but the fact re-
| mains that the registration establishes what
| everyone has known for many years
! New York is a Democratic city most Of the
| time and most issues.

CATS OF MANY COLORS

Red cats, white cats, and blue cats, ap-
propriately grouped, could have been made
to form one of the features of the recent cat
sho in London, had patriotism, rather than
feline charms, been the basis of award. For,
says the London Chronicle correspondent,
''two hundred and fifty cats of almost every
hue" were OIL view.
''Some of the colors of the cats were as
tonshing. One had quite a purply tinted
coat" says the writer, while red Tables
made fine display and one of them proved
to be the best kitten in the show
Cynical Americans, recalling the difference
in humidity between London and the United
States, will no doubt sigh in vain for the
times when they, too, could "see them kind
of things but as evidence that the multi
hued tabbies were the real things, the Chron-
icle correspondent points out that "there was
a mild chorus re iniscent of noonlit nights
just before feeding time but the cat-meat
man came along just in time to silence the
harmony"

POLITICAL EDUCATION-By Frederic j. Haskin

abolished. They were not afraid, they said,
to answer questions, and they wished their
views to go on record, so that there could
be not doubt as to their attitude on public
matters.
Quizzing Candidates
When the belated lists of questions went
out 95 per cent of the candidates fastened
to fill out the answers and mail them back
They had found that 1t did not pay to re-
fuse haughtily the information which the vot-
ers of the state wanted.
New York was the first state in which
the missionaries were used. Now they
are a popular institution in number of
states, Voters who do not have the oppor-
tunity to hear the candidates can rely more
safely on answers to plain questions than
on reports of excited campaign speeches.
New York women also held teas-quiz
meetings they were jokingly called-to which
politicians in office were invited to come and
be questioned regarding Their attitude on pub
lie affairs. The state legislators were espe-
cially desired as guests at those tea parties.
The women explained that by asking cues
lions they did not always mean to criticize
a mans way of voting on a measure. They
simply asked because they wanted to know
reasons and facts.
Here again, some of the politicians were
glad of a chance to explain their motives.
Others felt that once a man is elected, the
voters should trust him to do his best. But,
however, they felt most Of the guests saw
the wise course to take when in, the presence
of several hundred possible votes.
This insistence on an accounting from
both candidates and office holders is an out
growth of women's entrance into politics.
AS class, women know less about politics
than men, and they have set out determined
to remove the handicap. AS result we have
schools and quizzes and missionaries, and
as a result of them the League Of Women
Voters prophesies CHER standard in poll
tics.
