1t is surprising how many children
leave their homes to enter into a lar
ger social sphere with fear instilled
into their thoughts. If all mothers
could realize that fear is a most men,
acing disease surely fewer children
would enter the kindergarten with
trembling.
Most kindergarten or primary teach
ers have at sometime felt the pang of
seeing a child show fear. Frequently
a teacher wonders why she does not
win the whole-hearted, loving response
which most children so readily give to
the efforts of a sympathetic friend. No
child can give his best attention when
there is present a dread of what might
happen if he makes a mistake. Be
that sensation of fear ever so vague
it will check ready expression of
thoughts and retard natural, normal,
mental development.
All teachers and public welfare
workers will testify that many parents
and relatives threaten children with
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1922-05-19

practices which years later ceased to
be c~ountenanced. The higher court,
however, did not confirm this finding.
n In order to save its face, the
Department of Justice begged Mr..
Patterson to arrive at a compromise
settlement of the whole affair. He
relunctantly consented to do this, and
one of his poignant regrets ever after
was that he hadn't seen the thing
through to a finish because he felt
that unJustified odium had been cast
upon him. When there was wide
spread talk of asking a pardon for
him, he Indignantly denounced the
movement.
Mr.. Patterson's chief concern dur
ing the last decade or more has been
to do all within his power to bring
about more harmonious relations be-
tween employers and workers, par
ticularly through making the envir-
onment and working conditions
healthful, attractive and beautiful. His
own estate was thrown open for the
NoO ~ NAN PuDAlS JOolo oSO3 III NlAOu
sands and thousands of picnics and
other similar gatherings have been
held there, Mr.. Patterson even ar
ranging to supply utensils, hot water,
ETC., for the picnickers. He has told
me repeatedly that he regarded the ma
jority Of employers as ~lamentably
sh~ortsighted in their cold-blooded at
titude towards workers. He adopted
as his motto: my religion is to do
good" and had it posted throughout
his mammoth factories-veritable in
dustrial palaces of glass set midst
beautiful surroundings.
I would like to here record, for the
benefit of other financial and business
men, that both Henry P. Dawson and
John H. Patterson derived more salts
faction late in life from their work on
behalf of their fellow men than they
did from any ether phase of their
careers.

nrATH OF TWO GREAT MEN
By B. G. Forbes
In the New York A@erican

Initiative, dynamic energy, fearless
were characteristics of the two
~ Americans, each a leader in his
va who passed on during the week
n~d Henry p. Dawson and John H.
patterson
ooing early in life. Both had extraor-
S,narv determination and tenacity.
I'll were instrumental in making
.heir organizations the foremost of
thOir kind in the world. Both became
relatively wealthy, but neither had
concentrating as his main goal.
Roth spent their latter years largely
- rving to do things c~onstructively
holnful to their fellow-mortals. Both
Lowe promising young sons-one of
navison's sons recently entered the
house of Morgan, while Mr.. Patterson's
0ulv son was made the president of the
National Cash Register Company last
year. E.
II was Davison's courage which first
brought him into public notice in New
work City. The first time he tried. to
and work in New York he walked the
streets in vain. Several years later
his irrepressible persistency won him
a minor position in a small financial
institution in New York City. Some
time afterwards, when a paying teller,
mailman presented a check drawn to
the order Of The Almighty for a mil
linn dollars and at the same instant
presented a gun at Davison's head.
DAWSON cody began to read the check
very loudly to attract attention, at the
same time starting to count out money.
The banks special policeman looked
around when he heard the teller's
loud voice, took in the situation at a
glance, crept behind the mailman and
in a flash had him disarmed.
The day this incident was published
in the newspapers the directors of an
other bank had a meeting, and one of
them remarked that this was the kind
of young man they ought to have in
their bank. They got him. And Da-
vison made good so notably that from
then on he stepped up and up the lad
der until he became recognized as the
ablest partner the late ]. P. Morgan
ever discovered.
Just as Theodore N. Vail found the
telephone little more than a toy and
developed it into a great national
necessity, so John H. Patterson found
the cash register little more than a
toy and made it an adjunct of bust
ness throughout the civilized world.
Like most of Americas business pio-
neers, Mr.. Patterson in the old days
played the game according to the
rules then in vogue. Cut-throat COM
petition was rampant. In order to
survive, the fittest fought without
gloves. The lower court found Patter-
son, as it found many other great
American business leaders, guilty OF

Chambers Novel Filmed

The brilliant society back
ground for which the novels of
Robert W. Chambers are famous
has been faithfully reproduced in
the film version of "The Restless
Sex," which will be seen at the
Laclede theatre Saturday night.
Marion Davies iso the star.
The story is a romance of i'm
pulsive youth and has been pic
turized on an extremely elabor-
ate scale. A ballroom scene, in
which over six hundred people
take part, a millionaire camp in
the Maine woods, and an auto
m Ibile accident are features.
Ralph Kellard, Charles Lane,
and Carlyle Blackwell are includ-
ed in the supporting cast. The
scenario was written by Frances
Marion. The picture, which is a
Paramount release, was produced
by Cosmopolitan and direc ted by
Robert 2. Leonard.

| An unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the safe at the Far
mers Exchange sometime during
Tuesday night.
With a claw-bar and pick stol-
en- from the tool box of the extra
railroad gang working here the
office window was forced open
through which entrance was
made.
Using the heavy bar the dial
knob of the safe was broken off
and some kind of explosive inser-
ted in the hole and touched off
with a fuse. It did not open the
door, merely springing it and
making it fit the tighter. No
further attempt to open it seemed
to have been made.
1t took Manager Welsh and
his force about an hour the next
morning to complete the job and
secure the twenty-three penni IS
the safe contained to open up
business with.
1t is an ordinary steel safe,
used only to protect the books
against fire.
After placing the charge a 100
pound sack of corn meal was
placed on a chair and against the
safe door, probably to deaden the
sound. It was pretty well scat
tered about the Office.
The robbers left a small box
of matches, a bar of soap and a
six-inch piece of fuse which they
may have by calling at the Ex-
change Office.
Even had these penny robbers
got into the safe they would have
been losers as the cash therein
would hardly have reimbursed
them for the material they used |
unless they had stolen the soap,
fuse and dope. They |
were poor guessers as to where
to make a profitable haul.
