because our country desires each person
to give the result OF his own thoughts"
Women have great responsibility
with regard 10 topics OF family con

Women Often
Too Jealous
TO Aid Cause
Writer Cites Instance of One
Who Chose Task Too
Great.
By JULIA G. HENDERSON.

That women are over-zealous in a
cause which they espouse is laid at their
! door by many, and not without reason.
Not having been in the political game,
and realizing and knowing what they
represent Is just and in many instances
long delayed. By the male electorate,
they at tires allow their eager desires

Washington" by Elizabeth K. Phelps
Stokes Illustrates the point Mrs. Stokes
saysg
walking along the Senate corridors
one day, I met a public-spirited woman
who was much absorbed. It happened
20 be a day in the Senate when party
strife was unusually tense, and the whole
upper house was bound up to a man
in an impending vote on an important
measure.
Nothing else WAS talked Of, and there
was general recognition Of the fact little
else could be handled until this particu-
lar vote had been taken. When in
quired OF the public woman what her
errsnd was, she told me earnestly she
had set out 10 call personally on every
Senator OF the United States that day
or as many as was humanity possible, in
the interest OF birth-contrOl legislation.
She had been all but thrown out OF
several offices, but was undaunted. Mrs.
Stokes further says: This incident, like
others Of my experience, remains With
me as q perfect example Of tbs fact
many women active IN politics haH5 title
respect for big party wind, and have
an all-absorbing devotion to principle.
u also serves me with an Illustration
OF certain lack Of balance and relative
values.
Birth control was a proper thing to
be interested IN" says Mrs. Stokes.
Whether it was proper and efficient that
day, In the face Of the extreme tenseness
and public clamOr for a vote on vital
legislation, is another matter"

Stokes, Of undue stress on g given sub

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.

When Puss Junior and Tom Thumb
awoke in the morning they were sur
prised to find their little boat fast
aground on a sandy beach. How did
we get here?" asked Puss. sleepily, for
1t was stilI early in the morning, and
the sun had just begun to climb up to
the sky, and the dew dripped from the
tail meadow grass that grew close to
the waters edge.
Through no fault Of ours replied lit
tie Tom Thumb, with a laugh.
Captain Puss Junior fell asleep at
the helm, and the first mate. Tom Thumb,
did likewise" he added, running up to
the bow of the boat and looking over
the land. why, it's an island" he
called out to Puss. IT can see water
on the other side"
'You don't say so,~ said Puss. well.

walked up the beach toward 4 clump of
trees.

Tom Thumb. Lets play Robinson Cru

who's that?" whispered Puss Junior.
But he needn't have asked the question,
for just then a man dressed all In skins
came toward them.
Friends or enemies?" he asked.
"FriendsI" cried Puss Junior.
Friends!" screamed Tom Thumb.

D. EDITH RILAND CROss.


Are the property rights Of our chill
dren respected in the homer Do we
recognize their right to their things as
We wish them to respect ours7
These are questions which have come
to rs IN the training Of our and A.
year-old boys.
Every one knows how strong Is the
instinct OF possession, and how early 1t
manifests itself in the tendencies Of
little children.
Our Oldest son, Jerome, IS Of a very
cautious. deliberate nature prizing very
highly everything that Is given to him.
So l decided, when he was years old
70 allow him TO have one Of the drawers
in my own personal desk. 1t delighted
the child. gave him a place to keep some
OF his own particular things, and at the
same time aided his mother by keeping
out Of sight the hundred and one little
Insignificant keepsakes 50 dear to the
heart OF a child.
One look into this drawer would assure
you Of the great necessity for such a
place. for there we find all Of his Sun
day School papers strung with yarn into
a neat booklet There, too, his small
paper covered books, such as the minia-
ture set OF the famous Jessie WILCOX
Smiths Mother Goose. Two tiny silver
fish received at Sunday School for bring
ing in new scholars repose in the draw
er. beside a small piece Of an old bed
spring given to him by TO- Old boy,
his idol in the neIghbOrhOod Toy paper
money, Easter cards and Valentines, a
box Of nuts bolts and washers for fixing
his coaster wagon, scissors, crayOn, bits
Of string. yarn, 4 blunt needle and a
dozen smooth pebbles are but part of the
miscellany in that drawer.
Occasionally, we clean out the drawer,
rearranging things and discarding those
that have little value. This gives the
child an idea Of the present value Of
things. and he is the judge. with only
suggestions as to what things shall be
thrown out
One day, when other children were
playing In the house with our boys,
noticed that Jerome became very nervous
because the children were rummaging
through his drawer. At first I thought
It very selfish of him. But 1 soon real
tied that that was his own very personal
property. and other children, or even
other members Of the family, had no right
there.
Since then. playmates may always play
with the many toys in the play corner
near this desk, but they are not allowed
to 90 through JerOme's drawer without
his permission.
When brother John became 2, gavs
him the lower drawer in the desk, and
his rights as owner are respected in the
same way.
Some of you may sey that this would
tend to make selfish children, but in our
case IL has been just the contrary, for
these boys are happy in that they know
where their things are. And instead Of
having to hunt to the bottom of a basket
OF toys for some trivial thing, they go

Everything was all right, and it was beauti-
full night for adventure
The train rumbled over bridge, and he
caught sudden glimpse of swift water rush
ing far below, rejecting speckled areas of
broken moonlight. The change In the droning
undertone of the wheels rythm caused him to
start involuntarily; one foot came into contact
with the lantern, set in the aperture Of the
partly opened door. The thing moved an inch
or two toward the edge of the car, and even
as the designer reached quickly to clutch it
back again it toppled over the side and passed
from sight.
This was catastrophe. The moonlight seemed
suddenly to lose it's illuminating power and
become nothing more than sickly yellow.
streak, the very existence Of which served to
emphasize the dense darkness of the cars in
terror Even the outline Of the flying boat and
it's packed wings was lost in the blackness.
The slantng moonrays fell across narrow
section Of the boats gray body, sicing from
the gloom foot or so Of solidity. What was
beyond was matter of conjecture only. A
scudding cloud extinguished the moon, and for
the moment there was utter darkness-a dark
ness that could be cut
With conscious effort the designer took
hold on his nerves and considered the situation.
The train was laundering on, his lantern lost
irretrievably. But the need Of light was inn
perative, Or his watch was useless. He thought
Of the men just ahead Of him in the cab Of the
engine. They would have a lantern. He de-
termined to borrow it.
From the sliding door Of the car he recon
noitered his position. The train was making
a good thirty miles an hour. He considered
the possibility Of scaling the side Of the car
and moving forward brakeman fashion toward
the tender. This project he abandoned as too
risky, and as he reached his decision to wait
until the next stop, the train slackened speed
with screech Of brakes. Before it had
stopped the designer had swung himself to
the track and was racing toward the cab.
Hardly had he touched earth when the
train, which had not come to halt, gathered
way again. The pause had been merely mo-
mentary, induced BY danger signal which
had switched from, red To the grsen safety
light even as the brakes were applisd. De-
