Praise the Child
FAULT FINDING IS BECOMING STALE

: most conspicuous thing for the
growing boys and girls.
There is nothing good or bad
but thinking makes it So" says
a familiar maxim. II wrong
thinking-and it's verbal and
written expression-has tended
to make our children wicked.
then right thinking will tend to
make them good. AT least. that
is the idea which is beginning to
sway the masses toward opti-
mism.
The scheme of praise OF our
young is worth trying. Let US
all give it a boost. Let US seal
our lips, stop our pens. when
these would describe any more
evil in child and juvenile con-
duct. Every common child is
inherently good. Praise, COM
mendation and inspiration will
transform the potential into the
active. BY so treating our young
we shall
Give unto them beauty for ashes,
The oil Of Joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for heavi-
ness, that they might be called
trees of righteousness"

The naval salute to the British

The proverb, There's many

To Make Friends
TO HAVE FRIEND YOU MUST FIRST BE ONE

Maybe there is someone in need,
or as shy as you, or lonely or
awkward to whom you can be .
regular fairy godmother friend
in-need.
Remember that everyone is
lonely and that most people are
longing for friendship just g.
avidly and eagerly as you tars
And proceed to endow a few pee.
pie with the riches Of your pent-
up friendship.
Find out what folks are inter
ested in. Don't try to exploit
your own interests or to prove
your own charm. But just de-
vote yourself to giving a few
other folks a chance to express
their pent-up loneliness.
Be nice to lonely old folks and
to children. They are bound to
respond to friendliness. Practice
giving to them the comradely un-
derstanding and kindness for
which they long-and so often In
vain. Give out love and friend
ship. And don't watch to see IL
ii is coming back to you. Pretty
soon you'll be an expert in
friendship and you won't be con-
sidering whether folks like you
or not because you'll like them
so much.
And there lies the whole Sc
cret of being loved-it is just to
give out love, for as a wonderful
man once said:
ITO have friend, you must
first be one"

Now 1t will be seen at a glance
that Senior de Maldonado had
plumed himself a little too much
on securing the attendance of de
Sizerella at the little slashing
party on the duelling grounds.
This fact dawned on him when
the nosy Coca informed him that
as far as she could see she couldn't
see his target at all.
"Ha, ha; little Coca, ! have at
tended to all that have per-
formed what the hated French call
a coup d'etat-the girl is locked
in her room-as the celebrated II.
G. Wells remarked in The 1slahd
of Doctor Mureau,' none escape. :"
The busy little Coca expressed
her doubts, but the overmastering
assurance of her mighty lover con.
vinced her she was only a femi-
nine creation after all and she
wandered off with him to wkile
away the hour before the killing Of
the presumptuous Sizerella.

KIT IFE seems too hard 10 pear
sometimes" writes Carrie
- II. Il cannot make friends
with people. I am miserably shy
and sensitive, and when l feel that.
l am not liked. | just go into my
shell and cannot say word. I'm
neither homely nor beautiful. I'm
neat and clean and fairly well edu-
Gated. But I'm not attractive.
I'm not liked, though.
II have a good home and a nice
family, and I might dance well II
/ got out and had a chance. But
somehow I'm a failure with people.
And | know 1t, and the more

that there is anything / can do
about it. So I'm writing you in
desperation. l can't make people
like me. Now, is there anything
under the sun you can suggest for
me to do about that? 1t seems
pretty hopeless, doesn't it,"
1t isn't hopeless at all. my dear.
think you can take care of the
situation by simple means. Stop
trying to make people like you
and start liking them instead.
You see, Carrie, you're one or
the many folks in the world who
are suffering from what Is called
an inferiority complex. You're
humble. You undervulue yourself.
You go cringing for the crumbs of
federation from other folks. And
no one values you a bit more than
you do, Miss Carrie.
You go arounl thinking you
cant make folks like you, and
deep in your mind you have
panicky feeling that the reason
they don't like you is that you're
not likeable-that there Is some
thing wrong with you. So you be-
come shy and awkward. You may
even seem gruff and disagreeable.
At any event, you cannot be your
real self.
Suppose you try this for a
while: Stop wondering why people
don't like you. And start look
ing around for people to like.

HOW Earth Moves


hours a complete circle Of evenly
spaced lines. like the graduations
OF a mathematical instrument, was
produced.
Now. this was caused by the
earth's rotation, and to see how
that can be. II is only necessary
to imagine yourself standing on
the North Pole and swinging
pendulum across the pole in an
unChangingly vertical plane. II il
evident that the rotation of the
earth must cause the pole TO turn
round under the pendulum so that
the plane of swing, II each osCil-
lation made separate mark.
would be. seen 10 make a revolu-
tion in the opposite direction.
The same thing occurs no matter
where on the earth's surface the
pendulum is swung-eXCept at the
equator, where there would be no
tendency for the plane or vibration
to revolve. At the pole the time
OF revolution of the pendulum
would be just "a hours. agreeing
exactly with the rotation period Of
the earth. At any place between
pole and equator the time increases
with approach to the equator.
There is a simple formula to
calculate the time for any lati-
tude, but its demonstration could
not very we'll be given here. The
formula simply requires that
twenty.four hours be divided by
the sine of the latitude, the
quotient giving the time in which
the pendulum would make one
complete horizontal turn with
reference to the ground be-
meath 1t.
To illustrate this, take the case
of Paris itself. where the first
demonstration was given. The
latitude of Paris is AZ degrees
so minutes, and the sine OF that
angle is 0.752S. Dividing twenty
four hours by this we get about
80 hours 80 minutes. At New
York the time Is about SO hours
40 minutes. At Petrograd about
28 hours. At the City of Mexico
more than 70 hours.
Since Foucault's time the ex-
pertinent has been tried quite
often with smaller apparatus. but
the results are always Confirma-
tory. Foucault himself furnished
another similar demonstration of
the earth's rotation by means of
the gyroscope, which he invented.

but this time can be increased
considerably by training, as in

that sufferers from these diseases

MastOdOn Tusks

WHEN the cargo of a ship was
w unloaded recently at Port
land, Ore, reports the Scientific
American, 1t was discovered that
a certain portion, which was sup
posed to consist of walrus tusks,
proved to be the ivory tusks of
the mastodon. Crafty Siberian
natives had substituted these for
the walrus ivory which was
ordered. The cheaters, however,
cheated themselves, for in spite OF
its great age the substitute was
well preserved, and the large size
of the tusks consequently made
them more valuable.
