Women Add Responsibility

1t is reported that there were APP
proximately five thousand women
in the crowd that watched the
prize fight between Dempsey and
Carpenter July 2. Among them
were many who have excellent So
cial standing as we'll as some Of
doubtful reputation.
It is known that the promoters
were highly pleased to have these
women present, particularly be-
cause they desire to put the fight
ing game on better footing with
the American people, many Of
whom regard it as brutal and de-
basing. Doubtless it would be-
come far more respectable" if it
came the vogue for women to at
tend such events in large numbers.
However, there is another reason
for the increased interest of late in
fighting. To many people the
war brought the conviction that as
a nation we are physically defec-
tive. The percentage Of men who
were rejected from the army for
this reason was so much larger
than in any other country that it
will always stand as national dis
grace. ].
Why is there so much physical
unsoundness among us? Is it be-
cause we have discredited and dis
couraged fighting and other kinds
of physical contests, the promotion
of which leads our men to develop
themselves and to preserve their
health and bodily vigor? Many
believe that this is the reason; and
it is because of this that people are
found everywhere in America al
present supporting and even pat.
ronizing prize fights who have
never done so before.

Conference of Woman Physicians

conference OF woman physicians
Mrs. James S. Cushman, of New
York City, woman who had Civ
en- exceptional service in France
during the world war, was chosen
president at the conference of wo-
men physicians held some time
ago.
There were fourteen nations rep
resented at the conference and the
delegates carried home with them
broadened ideas of the needs of
women in all lands. They passed
a resolution that health education
should form an important part Of
their work.
They favored establishing gym
nasiums and swimming pools
everywhere. They urge fashions
Of dress allowing free movement
taboo corsets for young girls and
condemn high heels and pointed
toes on footgear.

the development of a child both
physically and mentally, for we'll
developed bodies make bright
minds and in many Of their games
they must thirk in order to play
them Alright.
Play may be nonsense, as some
of our puritanical ancestors as
serted, but it is educative nonsense,
it is healthful nonsense, necessary
and agreeable nonsense.
The natural playground of the
country is accessible to but frac-
ton of the number of our children
but Fairgrounds are now set aside
in the most of the cities where
the children can play, and it does
ones heart good to hear the happy
shouts of laughter which issue
from these modern Fairgrounds
which are under the supervision of
trained directors.
There the boys play all the
games their fathers played and
others of modern invention. Mar
bles and ball, diamond is ne
cesslty, and even football is prac-
ticed with the zest of professionals.
The sand box is there and ma
king mud pies is keen delight as
it was to the children of centuries
ago.
Tag, ring-around-a-rosy, blind
mans buff, pum-pum-pull-away,
chickany-chicha ny-crany crow, and
others of the old games which the
children Of long ago delighted in
are as popular with the children Of
today.
The people are waking up to the
necessities of the children and the
little ones are coming into their
own. We all love to see children
happy and we know that the high
est happiness comes through play.
These Fairgrounds take the
place of the woods and fields and
meadows and brooks which nature
has provided for her children, and
are supplying in a large measure
the exercise and happiness neces-
sary for the development of the
rising generation but we cannot
improve upon the Fairgrounds of
nature with their beauty Of setting,
bird music and cool verdure by
rippling brooks.
Let us give our children as much
happiness as possible in their brief
childhood, for the working days Of
their after lives may be long and
hard, and the happy, heaithful,
care-free games of childhood and
youth help to fit and prepare them
for the work that awaits them in
the years to come.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
The Small Beginning

All mothers seek to be kind to
their children, yet some are unkind.
We may even say that those who
try hardest to be kind are often
most unkind.
For no one is kind to a child
who allows it to form habits that
are certain to cause trouble and
unhappiness for itself and others
later; and many Of the habits
which children form if they are
permitted to do so are Of just this
kind.
AS class, these habits are sell
fish. They make it impossible for
the child to get along we'll with
others; and since habits, notwith-
standing they are easily formed es-
pecially in early childhood, are
very difficult to break, even tend
ing to become stronger with time,
if those that are evil are once fixed,
they become a sort of curse which
follows the child through life set
ting everybody's hand against him
and making of him a sort of curse
which follows the child through
life setting everybody's hand
against him and making of him a
sort of eocial outcast. We say the
child is spoiled; but the truth is
worse than this seems to indicate.
1t is spoiled not only for childhood,
but for manhood or womanhood
as we'll.
The very first Of all this train Of
selfish habits which eventually
prove to be the lifelong curse of
many of our boys and girls Is one
that is formed in the cradle. In
some way the babe learns that by
making an outcry it can have its
way in every little thing; and af-
ter this it becomes a veritable ty-
rant whose every selfish notion
must be gratifed down to the
slightest detail.
Because it is the first of an evil
brood of selfish habits, it is the
most dangerous of all the habits of
childhood. 1t should never be al
lowed to begin, much less to be-
come actually fixed in the child's
life. In general, the want should
never be satisfied until the cry has
ceased. Then the reward will
seem to be for becoming quiet
rather than for having made the
cutlery. If this rule were adopted
by parents generally, it would
doubtless save to our children a
mountain of sorrow and misery.
