RIGHT HABITS FOR
CHmDgES-oBEDIENCE
10 Gertrude y. skinner

The nfe o. every individual Il
largely made % Of habits. The time
when habits are most easily formed
i during the early years Of life. II
IL therefore most important not only
that habits are formed which will de-
yelop the best children TO-DAY and the
most useful citizens In the future,
but that the formation OF al good
habits begin very early IN life.
Everyone interested IN the chill
dren Of today desires 10 see them de
velop into good boys and girls and
later into the right kind OF citizens.
Good habits are. however. essential
IN the ehild's life II he is to become a
good citizen.
There are many ideals and stand
ards to BE- desired, many good habits
that should be formed 10 early child
truthfulness. honesty, justice.
cleanliness, service. courtesy and
obedience. In this brief article we
are 10 consider but one. obedience.
10 the laws OF home. school. state and
country.
The lack OF respect for and obedi-
enoe TO the laws OF the group in both
adults and children is one Of the
greatest dangers Of our country to-
day. yet great men OF our country.
Washington, Lincoln. and Roose-
yelt.-had the utmost respect for law
and order. II we are TO have law
abiding citizens. we must have obed-
lent children in the home and school.
IL Is common criticism today
that children do not obey. II this is
a Just criticism. the fault is with the
adult, not the child. II is often too
much trouble TO insist upon obedi-
ence but this course will lead only to
greater trouble in the future. Some
times II is the right Of the child to
be told the reason for a request or
command, but there are times when
prompt and unquestioning obedience
is essential. II child is in danger,
there may be no time TO reason,
argue or explain--in such a case
prompt obedience may be necessary
TO save him from serious injury. The
habit OF obedience will never be
formed through making unreason-
able or unjust demands. but a de-
mand once made should be followed
TO the end-absolute obedience.
There is no place in society where
the law-breaker is welcome - there
is no gang or group in child life in
which the child is wanted WHO does
not respect the law of the group. |
The child who does not obey will de- |
velop into a citizen having little or
no respect for the laws OF the com
A free country is not "a place /
where every individual does as he

his neighbors. but a place where
very individual has a right to the
opportunities of the land and the
OF making the most of

With the rights OF other members of
ociety.
II is the duty OF each 10 obey the
avs Of the group. and the place in
which this respect for law. order and

THINKS THAT DRY" OFFICIALS
SHOULD BE IN POLITICS

Chairman Andrew j. Volstead, of
the House Judiciary Committee, au-
thor of the prohibition enforcement
law, says he thinks the men who
carry out it's provisions should be
political appointees and not in the
Civil Service.
II believe that the Administra-
tion," he told the House, should
make the appointments and be held
responsible for results. Appoint
ments under Civil Service could be
made absolutely to destroy enforce
ment."
Volstead was replying to state
ments in a magazine article concern
ing the drafting of the enforcement
bill. He declared he drew UP the
measure without consulting any
other member.

Pages Idea of the
 Scotch National Motto

That, Walter Hines Page was above all a serious-minded man, his letters show; yet his spirits were constantly alert for the amusing, the grotesque, and the contradictory; like all men who are really serious and alive to the hatpos of existence he loved a hearty laugh, especially as he found it a re- lief from the gloom that filled his every waking moment in England. Page himself regarded this ability to smile as an indispensable attribute to a gentleman" he once declared, ''who does not have a sense of humor-" Only he who possessed this gift, Page be- lieved, had an imaginative insight in to the failings and the virtues of his brothers; only he could have a tolerant attitude toward the stupidities of his fellows, to say nothing of his own. And humor with him assumed various shades; now it would flash in an epi- gram, or smile indulgently at pass ing human weakness, now and then it would break out into genial mockery: occasionally 1t would manifest itself as sheer horseplay, and less frequently it would become sardonic or even that he once described a trio of Wash ington statesmen, whose influence he abhorred as. three minds that occupy a single vacuum" He once conVulsed a Scottish audience by describing the national motto of Scotland-and do- ing with a. broad burr in his voice that seemed almost to mark the speaker a native to the heath-as "Liber-r-ty, frater-r-nity, and f-ru- gality.''-Rurton J.

SOVIET GUARDS
 ART TREASURES

Petrograd, Sept. 30.-The Hermi- tage, one of the greatest art galleries in tho world, exists today in all it's pre-war magniffcence as a visible Russia's finest paintings had been destroyed Or stolen during the rev. olution, but of those adventurers who occasionally have peddled in New paintings from it's collections.
 Small groups of school children, piloted through the galleries by siona1 proletarian enthusiasts. and now and then foreigner who strays into Petrograd are about the only lost in its spacious rooms,I sBut the great paintings still are on the splen- did walls; the rare plorcelains and Greek vases of priceless antiquity are still in their glass cabinets; the mar b1e statutes brought from the ends of the earth still stand on their pedes- tals; the unrivalled collections of old coins, Egyptian scarabs and countless carefully numbered trays, and the nurn1nies still lie in their sarcophagi, grim and grinning despite the latest revolution that has passed over their heads.
 The Winter Palace, adjoining the Hermitage, still bears marks of the smelling and machine gunning it suf- fered during the early days of the Bolshevik coup de'etat, but the build ing housing the valuable art coIlec- tions has been spared even these marks of battle. Its exterior walls are red and smooth, the ten gigantic Atlantes in Finnish rnarbIe-huge, na- lSed Herculi 20 feet tall and each carved from a single block of gran ite-thold up it's portfco in lieu of pillars and are as smooth and glts- tening as the day they were placed there in 1852. although the square that fronts them has been the scene of much hard fighting.
 Immediately after the BoIsheviki won control special guards were placed about the Hermitage and 1t was saved from footing. The already priceless collections are being aug mented today by the most valuable of the objects of art conffscated by the govcrnm ent from private persons during the early days of the revolu- ton.
 In paintings the Hermitage ranks with the Louvre in Paris and the fa- nous galleries of Spain and Italy The Dutch and Flemish pictures are more numerous and more valuable | than are the collections in Holland or Belgium.
 In all there are more than 1000 small fortune, and there are besides 100000 engravfngs and 12,000 draw tngs, each so valuable that it merits careful preservation for posterity. Most of Petrograd's other famous art galleries and museums which also are again being opened to the public. prove, like the Hermitage to COW and other principal Russian cities. where the Soviet government, l like the regime of the czar, has zeal ously guarded collections of art.

AVIkTORS LOST
 AT SEA IGNORED
 BY NATIVE BRIG

London, Sept 30-"Below us were sharks; near the land crocodiles. our inverted top hammer and signal some one ashore, or risk swimming for it? Then our hopes were shatter- ed, for an undercurrent caught our faster than we could near the land, we were pulled away from it. Quick ly it faded and our hopes sank. we were utterly helpless and at the mercy of the wind and the tide"
 The above sentences are taken from the long and thrilling narrative which records the terrible experiences of Captain Norman Macmillan and Cap tain Maillins while ahoat for 60 hours on a wrecked seaplane in the Bay of Bengal. They were engaged in a round -tbe-world flight organized by the Daily News.
 Suddenly we noticed an alteration in the trim of our craft" continues the narrative. Round and round we plunged, water pouring over us. hang ing on tooth and nail, and soaked by the repated wash that broke complete ly&pver us. Evidently we were in a tide whirl."
 Perhaps the most impressive thing in the story is Captain Macmillan's 8 native brig which passed near them when they were almost spent. Mail lins could hear beautiful instrumental music,'' writes Macmillan, and the sound of the pipes playing laments in the distance. We did not mention this to each other at the time. We were each afraid of that.
 Suddenly we saw a sail away down south. Was it coming up? Yes,
 "A windjammer. Soon its yards appeared. Gradually it came along. Standing up we could see the hull. It was all we could do to remain up- right.
 We waved our distress flag, sig mailing the international s. O. s. The brig was coming straight for us. She must almost run us down. She could not fail to see us.
 ''Was she changing her course Surely not. but she was.
 ''She turned off not half 8 mile away, and steadily passed us within half a mile, with two men looking at us from the poop.
 God! what inhumanity! Surely it could not be.
 "MailIins frantically waving, slipped and fell half-overboard cursing at his hurt, cursing the brig and her crew, and writhing.
 waved and halfoed and fred pistol shots.
 ''But steadily ! she swept past, a native brig. Two men on the poop ran forward as she was abreast Of us. They saw us, undoubtedly, and were possibly terrified of ghosts and visions.
 But in mercy let them never know what we felt like"
 The two aviators were rescued some hours later by a steam launch sent out in search of them.

Somebody Is Cornering
 Worlds Diamond Supply

London. Sept. 30.-Somebody is cornering the diamond supply of the world. according to British importers of tho stones All over the world the best and largest diamonds are van- ishing. and London dealers are SCOUT ing the continent in the attempt to obtain stones to satisfy the demand which has suddenly sprung up for the finest gems. But they have small success for a. mysterious shorta ge ex- ists at a time of unprecedented de- mand.
 Diamonds will soon become the currency of the world if money con- tiEues to depreciate at the rate of the last few months ane dealer said recently. Rich Americans are buy ing all the stones they can secure, There is an unlimited demand for two grainers up to the six grainers from America, and Japan is buying largely. Fine small stones are also very scarce.
 '"The. Germans are hanging on to their diamond like grim death, They will not sell at any price. and regard their diamonds as the only real se- curity left them. The same spirit obtains in other countries"

AMERICAN MULE REIGNS SUPREME
 IN NEAR EAST

Erivan, Sept. 30-The American mule is 2.o6 times as efficient as the Armenian OK, and 2.68 times as eff cient as the Caucasian horse, accord ing to figures reported by the Ameri- can farming experts in charge of the agricultural program of the Near East in the Caucasus.
 These computations are made on a cost-eff1ciency basis, taking into con- sideration capital investment, upkeep, length of service, and amount of work accomplished The mule beats even the tractor in small farming oTsera- tions, but farms of more than 800 acres bring down tractor costs per unit of work done to a basis below that of the mule.
 American mules were introduced here about year ago. American re- lief organizations now use 800 of these animals on their various agri- cultural relief projects. Plans for the breeding of the American type mule on Armenian soil will be shortly car ried into effect in northern Armenia
