PARENTS FORGET

THERE is a rule of good form that
= tells us that we should never re-
prove a servant or other employee In
the presence of outsiders. A waitress
perhaps breaks dish at dinner and
the confused hostess exclaims hastily
that she should not be so awkward or
tnat she has been very careless. Now.
the perfectly well-bred hostess does not
do this. She does her best at the time
TO draw her guests attention from the
mishap and. If she feels that any re
proof is necessary, she waits until she
is alone with the servant.
Now, if we are as considerate as
this TO servants, ought we not to be as
considerate to our children? Yet,
truly, l know plenty Of persons who
would not think of reproving servants
in my presence, especially nowadays,
when servants are so independent and
hard to get, who would not think 1t
anything amiss to scold their children
in my presence.
Sometimes the scolding is delivered
I'm a half-teasing, testing manner.
John, will you be carefui?" exelaims
the mother to her ten-year-old son,
when he is trying to bring her some
article that she has sent for. "You are
the most awkward creature In the
world. Your feet are so big it's no
wonder you trip over Them" And then,
10 her guest "Just imagine. John
wears shoes that are larger than mine
already. suppose he Is going to have
enormous feet like his father"
II may be that John is sensitive. He

four little birds in 1t, their mouths

Their birds had worked so hard to

MORE ABOUT AERIALS

If there are several sending stations
at various points from your set, it is
often very good plan to run several
aerial wires at right angles or radiat-
ing as shown In figures IL and II, con-
Meeting them together and running the
lead-in from the point where all join,
as shown. Sometimes this principle
may be reversed and several lead-ins
may be carried from the outer ends
of the radiating aerials and Joined
to form a single lead-in and will bring
even better results, figures 13 and IA.
These several lead-ins may be con-
nected by means of an anchor-ring,
figure Is, to equalize the waves or
currents, or they may be provided
with multiple point switches as shown
In Figs. 13 and IA. This switch ar
rangement has the great advantage
that you can largely cut out stations
you do not wish to hear by using the
lead-in towards the station you desire
to hear. This will result in the others
being fainter or weaker in comparison
and they can therefore be more effec-
