A MOTHER and her three chill.
~ dren have organized their
group work at home on a
business basis. The young appren-
tees are aged nine, eleven and
thirteen, the eleven.year old being
a boy, and they give their fore.

The mother is manager"
Each child by turns is fore
man."
Each child by turns Is "employe."
When taking the place of fore
man, unless advice from the others
is asked for, this leader must be
strictly obeyed. II any errors are
committed these are checked up to
the mother as manager. Her idea
Is not to have things done perfectly
from the first, but that each child
shall learn by doing, and correct
his own errors.
Before any person Is ready to
assume a permanent position as
manager he must himself learn
how to take orders and execute
them-so this wise mother believes.
And II would appear that she has
here a brilliant idea for the entire
country.
Listen to instructions from the
foreman. get his point of view,
think the process through before
starting, and then carry out orders
to the letter-that Is an initial
lesson In business enterprise and
thrift for our boys and girls. The
successful boss must learn to boss
himself. He must hold his tongue
on occasions and make himself do
as he is ordered.
Again, the mother motto here
explained is happy one in that

things that are stated but
are not SO. help to make life
entertaining. They are as numer-
jects.
The parallax Of Polaris has been
obtained, and no less than ten OBJ
servers and computers substanti-
ally agree in assigning to 1t a value
OF 0.041 Of a second-of-arc. This
means that the semi-diameter Of

from the sun, which Is $4,000. 900
miles. would. as viewed by an in
habitant Of a world belonging to
the Pole Star, subtend an angle
OF only forty-one thousandths OF a
second. The position OF Polaris in
the sky does not affect the prob
lem. except as II influences the
form Of the "parallactic orbit" that
the star appears to trace out an

earth's revolution around the sun.

pendulum. In It's actual situation
the path Of the star appears as an
ellipse. The key to all this is the
fact that the plane Of the parallac-
tic orbit Of any star, wherever
situated, must be parallel to the
ecliptic, since the earth describes
its annual revolution In the ecliptic.

begun to occupy considerable
place in the news OF the day, to
meet with the statement that the
parallaX of such or such star has
been ascertained to be a certain
decimal fraction OF a second Of arc.
Usually the astronomer does not
take the trouble to translate that
into distance in miles, but every
reader should be able to make the
Transformation for himself. The
rule is very simple and easy: Null
tiply the earth's distance from the
sun (93,000,000 miles, by the num-
Der zoe, 265, and divide the product
by the faction representing the
stars parallax; the quotient thus
obtained will be the distance of the
star In miles.
For an example, take the paral-
lax Of what, as far as we know up
to the present time, is the most
distant object in all the sky, the
globular star cluster catalogued as

fections, particularly in childhood,
and there Is always the possibility
that serious impairment Of the
hearing many result therefrom.
All reasonable care must be
taken to conserve the hearing, for
this faculty is just as important
an asset to the child as vision.
Deafness means being barred from
many occupations. Then there are
the risks which deaf people have

approach of vehicles or the warn
ings of gongs and whistles, not to
speak of their handicap when II
comes to conventional human In
tercourse of a social sort.
The foundations for ear trouble
are usually laid in childhood by
enlarged tonsils, adenoids, sore
throat, decayed teeth and the
various fevers met with in the
very young. Practically always in
lection Of the ears travels from

tube which conveys air from the

chambers; therefore. much can be

agement of nose and throat and
dental conditions.
An immensely important pre-
caution relates to the manner of
blowing the nose. Forcible blow
ing may drive infective material
directly through the aforesaid
tube. The mouth should be open
when the nose Is blown.
Running ears impair the gen.
eral health, menace the hearing
faculty, and invite the spread OF
infection into the mastoid cells be-
hind the ear and perhaps into the
brain.

Household Hints

To prevent silk handkerchiefs
from turning yellow when washed.
no soap should be rubbed on tie
silk, no soda should be mixed with
the water. and the handkerchiefs
should on no account be boiled. A
hot, thick, soapy lather made with
finely.shredded soap should be
used for cleansing the hand
kerchiefs, which should be
thoroughly freed from all soap by
rinsing in plenty OF cold water,
and when most Of the water has
been pressed out they should be
dried, II possible, In the sun.
Black silk may be cleaned by
sponging the dirty parts with the
water in which potatoes have been
boiled.

POP WATSON POURS
 OUT WRATH ON THE
 HEAD OF MR. HOOVER
Associated Press Night Wire,

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G.
 Senator Watson, democrat, of Geor- gia, today renewed in the senate his attacks on Secretary Hoover's ad- nlinistration of war relief organiza- tions and charged him with having aided in efforts to overthrow the soviet and restore the czarist govern ment in Russia.
 He asserted that Mir. Hoover had caused a shipping board steamer commanded by Captain James Mar tin to transport cargo of military motor trucks and supplies from Bor- deaux to the northern army in Rus sia to be used in General Yuden- itch's offensive against the soviet.
 The steamer, MT. Watson said, was loaded for the United States when the commander received a mes sage cancelling the return home and ordering him to reload with army supplies. To substantiate this state ment he said he had what appeared to be photostatic copies of the cables ordering the Russian shipment. Re ferring to the recent White House statement ill defense of Mir. Hoover, MT. Watson inquired why the secre- tary was above criticism. He also the charge that Mir. Hoover had not published detailed statements of the war relief expenditures and also that the allegations that food intended to go to stricken peoples of Europe had been permitted to de cay on wharves and in vessels thru alleged lack of proper administra- ion.

 GROVE CITY, Pa, June 6.-The fighting spirit of the trained athlete, coupled with the skill of medical science, may save the life of Edwin Leslie, who since his injury in a swimming pool last night, has been kept alive by means of artificial res- piration, applied by volunteers among his schoolmates. The next 36 hours will determine Leslie's fate, Dr. James Wallace announced this af- ternoon following an operation. Dr. Wallace reset the first vertebra of the back which was dislocated when Leslie dived into gymnasium swim ming pool, striking his head on the concrete bottom. The operation re- lieved nerve pressure which had resulted in paralyzing the youths body.
 Two hundred male students stood up in chapel today in response to a call for volunteers to work in re- lays in applying artificial respiration without which doctors said Leslie would not live for five minutes. Other students who have been con- stantly at the bedside since last night refused to leave tonight, saying they would flight it out with him."

CINCINNATI, June 6.-Railroad wages under the new railroad labor board orders for seven of the larger groups of the country's rail workers, soon will be at a level which does not measure up to the American standard of living, and which makes vigorous protest necessary, according to B. NJ. Jewell, head of the rail road department of the American Federation of Labor, in explaining the quick strike vote action of the conference of railroad union heads today.
 In less than two hours time, heads of Il railroad union arrived at an understanding, whereby each organ ization will take a strike vote i'm mediately on issuance of wage re- duction orders from the labor board for its membership. The votes will be returnable in 30 days, and the strike vote foH the six shop crafts sent out by President Jewell's orders today, will be in his office in Chi cago by June 90.
 The strike vote decided on today will affect about 1,2OO,OOO of the country's railroad smployes-all ex- cept the train service men, whose wages are not in dispute before the board. Although wage cuts have not been announced for any classes, but the shop crafts and maintenance of way, pending decisions are expected to add five other classes of labor to the general slash. Union execu- tives of these organizations today decided to crimp their ballots and have them ready to send out to the membership immediately if the board as anticipated orders further reduc- tions in their pay.

Ements to remain at Canton and ap- proximately 300 members assembled at Tien Tsin, where they recently de- clared for Ii Yuan Hung for presi- dent, Wu Pei Flu hurried to Tien Tsin today to urge Ii to proceed without delay to Pekin and assume the presidency.
 Wu is understood to fear the pos sibility of Sun calling together the members of the original republican parliament who are in the south and thus strengthen his contention that he is the only legally elected chief executive in the country. On the other hand, Ii Yuan Hung, whom the militarists forced out of the presidency of China in 1917, is said to have no inclination to resume that office unless he can do so with a united country at his back and the support of the old parliamentarians now at Canton.
