PHILADELPHIA HAS A NEW
CHANCE TO PROVE ITS WORTH
The Sesautcentennal In 1926 Furnishes
a Magnificent Opportunity to the

this community eagerly detected it half 4
century ago when the conviction was borne
upon them that the centenary of American
independence was approaching, that the
event must be signalizcd with fitness and
spendor and that Philadelphia, where a new
nation drew its first breath Of life, must play
the dominant role in the commcmoration
Neither the material nor the psychoIoCr
heritage Of the Centennial has cvuporatcd
The latter bcQucst is particularly potent just
now when the city is committed to the OBJ
sCrvance by worlds fair Of the 15Oth an
niversary Of national liberty.
The magnitude and influence Of the Cen
tennal. its effect on both the civic and the
national consciousness are not themes for
boastng. They are historical facts.
It is no cXaggcration to say that the first
universal exposition in the United States
began a new age in this country. The color
and characteristics of events and movements,
scientific artistic political. social, CONNER
cial. idcalistic. can be readily ComDrehendcd
by dating them before or after 1876
That the glamour of that year has not yet
faded is a factor of prime importance to the
preparations now afoot. Philadelphia is no
novice as a world host. In this respect the
coming exposition starts with an advantage
enjoyed by no other worlds fair ever given
in the United States,
Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis rose
magnfcently TO their opportunities. but not
one Of these Nntcrprising cities was fortified
with an inspiring precedent. Ph!ladclphia's
equipment is unique.

the Centennial cherish and frequently dis

7 their own affairs. The house was fin
ished and soon Mrs. Redhead spent
most of her time sitting on the pre-
| cious eggs 1t contained.
Redhead spent his time hunting for
! worms in the apple trees. helping
himself to Strawberries in Farmer
Browns garden or catching fies. He
! was very fond Of catching flies and
was almost as clever at it as Cresty
| the Flycatcher. In this respect he was
very different from his relatives.
Downy and Hairy. both members OF
the Woodpecker family.
AS time went on Redhead became
so used to the peaceful life of the
! Old Orchard that he became careless.
He almost forgot that danger was
possible. One morning very early. be.
fore anybody was stirring in Farmer
Browns house. Redhead flew around
side farthcst from the Old Orchard.
There he sat upon a post trying to
make up his mind what he wanted
for breakfast.
He was so busy trying to make up
his mind whether he wanted straw
! berries or bugs that morning that he
didn't pay much attention to anything
else. Now i. happened that Sharpshin
the Hawk, one of the members of the
Hawk family most feared by small
feathered folk, had started out early
that morning and took it into his head
" uiNC iOoh Lille hOHio VI
Farmer Brown. for he is bold. is
Sharpshin. Like all other members of
the Hawk family, he has wonderful
eyes. and while yet a long way off he
saw Sedheat sitting on that post. At
first all he saw was a spot Of bright
color. but he guessed at once what
that spot was and headed that way.
Now. it is doubtful If Redhead
would have seen Sharpshin at all had
1T not been that Scrapper the King
bird over in the Old Orchard was
watching and saw him coming. At
once he screamed a warning to all his
feathered neighbors. Redhead heard
that warning and wondered what
could be going on over in the Old
Orchard. He looked over in that di-
rection and then-well. for just the
teeniest. weeniest fraction of a second
his heart almost stopped beating with
fright. Heading straight for him at
wonderful speed was Sharpshin the
Hawk.
Redhead did the only thing for him
TO do--few with all his might straight
into the nearest tree where the
branches grew most thickly. He didn't
have time to pick his way among
them. He just flew blindly. trusting
to luck that he would get in where
Sharpshin could not follow him. AS
1t was, he was just in the very nick
OF time, for Sharpshin swept past,
brushing the leaves of the tree, and
so close that his outstretched claws
just touched Redhead's tail. Redhead
had escaped.

child is much more inclined to take
good care of an article that is hts own
private property than another that is
merely lent to him for the time being.
A sense Of ownership seems to be
early developed in the child's mind.
One of the first questions that he
asks is whether this or that article
Is his. Children's nurses know that
it is much easier to teach children
to brush their own hair If each child
is provided with his own brush and
comb that cannot be touched by any
other child in the nursery.
By way of keeping things in place
1t is important to find place for
everything-a sensible, logical place.
and not some place hard to get to and
inconvenient. In a certain household
the housewife may tell you: You will
find an umbrella in the back of the
hall. They belong in the closet on the
landing, but no one ever puts them
there"
Now, if no one ever puts umbrellas
in the landing closet it must be be-
cause it is inconvenient, and if it is in
