CITIZENS OF TOMORROW

/ Vt is automatic that in order to insure a
| \ healthy, competent, right-minded c1tizenry
= favorable conditions of child nurture are
indispensable.
CAS- the twig is bent so the tree incltnes,
is no mere figure of speech, whether applied
to trees or human beings. Parental Ignorance
and neglect in the matter Of child rearing in
evtably mean a handicapping for adult life;
it may be a handicapping so serious as tc
make of the unwisely reared child a grave
social liability.
And it is not only in the matter OF physlcal
health that careful nurture is required
Failure to train for mental vigor and emo
tional control failure to inculcate sound moral
PRINCIPLES are even more disastrous. For the
neglected ones then grow up predlsposed 10
conduct. disorders menacing the integrity OF
the social organisms of which they are parts
This being so, the prevalence today OF vice,
crime mental disease, and economic 1neHl-
ciencv roints directly to prevalence OF faulty
home conditions. And it Enthusiastically sug-
gests that, if community and national Well-be-
ing are to be maintained, some way must De
devised to rouse parents more generally TO
sense of their responsibilities.
The need for this is indeed definitely dem
onstrated by the findings of recent survey OF
child life undertaken in a certain Boston dis
trict by Dr. Mariana Taylor of the Boston
/
Visiting "a random group Of homes with
a district worker, DR.. Taylor studied closely
the conditions under which nearly zoo chill
f.ren were being brought up, and the discern
ible effects of those conditions on the chill
drer Here are a few of the discoveries she
made:
TWENTY-FIVE out of 100 children showed
nervous symptoms such as ''fidgetiness and
choreiform movements, shivering, twitching OF
ewes and face" Nearly twice as many (thlr-
ty-nine) otherwise manifested nervousness by
various disorders Of sleep.
Fifty-two habituality INDUCED In tan
trums." "Forty-one could justly be put In the
category of spoiled children, being stubborn,
difficult, and uncontrolled" Eleven were eA-
cess;vely bold" thirteen Excessively t1mld-
Five were addicted to biting and scratching
Others" five to truancy and running away
from home Eighteen had been in one school
grade two years, while thirteen We're more
seriously retarded mentally. Three suffered
from epilepsy. Eighteen had mentally de-
ficent, eEileptic psychotic parents"
DR.. Taylor is, rightly, of the opinion that,
from her report of the survey she made,
those interested in mental hygiene can gain
food for thought. SO can all whose business
it is or SHOULD be--as politicians, publicists,
health authorities, and SO forth-to labor
earnestly for the public good
Let home conditions such as those found in
this one Boston district continue uncorrected
and it needs no prophet to predict an ever
increasing national burden and threat in the
way of citizens unequal to the task of meet
ing life's demands and cooperating for the
maintenance of the nation.

FATHER
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane '"o("
So much advice has been given to fathers
about how to treat their children that per-
haps little advice would be in order to Chill
drer about how to manage father n-.
Let us indulge in no prelude and get to
business. ..a4
First of all, study your father. Look him
over and think him over. Do not assume
that you know all about him and do,snot
make it business to keep away from him.
Be patient with him. He is probably doing
the best he can according to his lights. He
may not understand you, but then again, on
the other hand, perhaps you do not under
stand him. 1t takes two to do job of un-
derstanding.
Remember that not long ago you were
baby and it is little difficult for fatherrto
realize that you are not one yet He had
to tell you everything to do and when one
gets into. that habit it's very hard to QUIT.
Sympathize with him. He is growing old,
and some day, as you will find out, growing
OLD is no joke. You are full of illusions and
hopes. He is full of dsillusons andahis
stock of hope is not so large as it was Also
remember that he has to get out every day
and find something Wherewith to purchase
bread and butter which is some different
from merely coming to the table when the
bell rings. $500
Respect your father He is entitIednto
that in any case. Never seem to disregard
his pinion. When he speaks, listen You
may not always be Gble to obey, but at least
you can listen.
You object to his being impatient and in
tolerant with you and therefore you should
not be impatient or intolerant with him -
Be polite to him. There is no place where
courtesy counts for more than toward your
father. 80.
Flatter him. Say things that you think
will please him. He may not let on that he
cares anything about this but he does CAFE
Between you and me there is no one whose
good opinion a father values so much as-his
sons.
Be afectonate with him. If he makes
it difficult for you to do this, then be as
afectionate you can.
= Do not argue with him. He may think
that you ought to accept anything he says
without question. Let him think it. It
pleases him and it doesn't hurt you. We all
have our little vanities and father should be-
allowed to have his He may not know as
much as you do, but some day you will be
forty yourself and then you will not know al
much as You do now.
Do not contradict him. WeIl-bred peopIet
do not contradict each other fatty
Help him You know him perhaps as we'll
as any one knows him and you know of many
little ways in which you could make thines
easier for him. Reminder hat while Won
are colt and frisking in the pasture, father
is a pack horse and the load sometimes be-
comes burdensOme.
Most Of all, and most important of all
never show that he hurts your feelings He
probably will hurt them, but do not let him
see it. Get a grip on yourself.
Finally, remember that you are playing
for high stakes-to win a father. You will
never have but one father and when you lose
him you cannot find another

CHAPTER .XXXNI
Ranked EircS

We were very silent as the car purred
along through the streets of the little town.
| Hilton was pretty in suburban way, and
until lately I had loved it. But now as
we drew by home after home, l felt only
bitterness in my heart. Il had a sudden
longing for alien things, I felt reckless
and strange as though l didn't care what
/ happened.
/ We reached the outskirts of the town,
| and turned into a long stretch OF mac
! adam road. The car leaped ahead, and
the wind roared in my ears with the in
| creased speed. When we finally slowed
down we were far out in the country,
purring along smoothly straight into the
sunset It was glorious and [ forgot every
! thing but the enjoyment of the moment.
| But after a time l began to have mis-
! givings I stole a look at Herberts face.
l wanted to tell him to turn back, but
| there was an expression on it that I had
! never seen before, a bOyishly uplifted ex-
| preston, and I hesitated to speak.
On and on we went and gradually twi-
! light. fell, then darkness. We had been
driving long time without either of US
saying a word, when finally Herbert turned
| to me and spoke:

Gust glorious, but I think we ought to
! turn back. Norman and Edith will won

! My lips twisted on the last words, for
Of course, they weren't true and who knew
better than Herbert OF their falseness? But
obediently we reached a crossroads, he
turned the car around. Again we Iapsed
into silence.
We were within distance of the twinklng
lights of Hilton when Herbert stopped the
| car by the roadside, and lighted cigarette.
I watched his face in the flare of the
match and wondered how l had ever
thought him stupid. His face. was dis
tinguished if not handsome and there
was strength of purpose about it that
I would make any one want to trust him.
He did not start the car at once, and
we sat for a moment with the silence of
the country all about us. There was peace
| everywhere save in my own heart, and as
| though he knew and understood, Herbert
| leaned forward suddenly and covered nv
hand with his.
| For a moment I let my fingers remain
! passive, and then because [ sensed the
impulse that had prompted him to do such
thing, I turned my hand and closed my
fingers over his.
Instantly he responded by raising my
! hand to his lips, and even when he had
kissed my fingers, he did not release me,
but held my hand against his cheek for
a long moment.

tain country with fertile valleys, Ar kansas produces such diverse crops as wheat and sugar cane, rice and hay. It's staples, are corn and cotton. Lately it has been making headway in fruit growing, with the emphasis on peaches. Arkansas has the larg- est peach farm in the country, 5000 acres.
 It's forests are a chief source of it's natural wealth. They include trees of 125 species, with pine, cypress, oak and hickory predominating. Al though numbering has been retarded by lack of railroads in the hills, the state is now the fifth in lumber pro- duction. Arkansas soft pine and Arkansas hickory are staples in the lumber trade.
 In minerals Arkansas is equally well found It produces coal, lead, bauxite, phosphate rock, oil stones, granite, limestone and building clays. One of the sensational oil fields of the southwest, the Smackover-E Do rado field, lies in Southeastern Ar kansas And Arkansas is the only diamond producing state In the union.

LARGE ENGLISH PENSIONS

There are many precedents in Eng fish political history for the. criti- cism very freely lavished on Lord Birkenhead for accepting state pension of 5000 pounds (normally S25,000) year. Even the great Chatham. when he obtained his pen sion of 5000 pounds (normally s15,- .000) year and his wife, Lady Hest CT Greville, was created Baroness Chatham in her own right. incurred the plain-spoken reproaches of the more idealistic politicians of his time.
 Thomas Gray, the poet, in a letter to Mason, cries to Chatham: "On thou foolishest of great men, that sold his inestimable diamond for a paltry peerage and pension" The temper of the city was shown in their angry dubbng of the new baroness -"Lady Cheat'em.'' Lady Chatham was, by the way, caricatured by Ho- garth-as ''so ugly and so statistical says Walpole. He adds that the likeness was so recognizable'9 that Hogarth was forced to cut off the nose.
 Chatham's sister, Mistress Anne Pitt, also figured in the pensions list. She had held court appointment, had become mixed up in court cab als. and had been disgraced with out being dismissed. Though she did not recover royal favor, she obtained very generous pension, and proud ly notified the fact to her brother, who coldly replied that he was grieved to see the name of Pitt on a list of pensions. His own 5000 pounds q year came later.-Man- chester Guardian.

concerning Dr, Thomas D. Parke, who \ passed away recently:
 tWhereas, it has pleased Almighty God tos call from his earthly labors our beloved friend and fellow citizen, Dr. Thomas D. Parke, therefore be it
 Resolved, by the executive board of the Jefferson County League of Women Voters, that we express our deep regret at the passing of so val uable and public spirited a citizen, friend of education, a proponent of justice to high and low, true demo- crat, fearless, honest and disinter- ested, whose voice was ever raised against oppression and ignorance; that we esteem him as model of the civic virtue which Is the ideal of the League of Women Voters; that we hold up his character as a guide and an inspiration to the young men and women who are coming forward to take up his torch and carry it on; that we urge them to realize that their lot is better and fairer because of his life and work; that we consider such men as Dr. Parke the glory and surety of the nation and his death is a great loss not only to his loved ones but to the commonwealth.
 Resolved further, that copies of this resolution be sent to his family and the press.

brief outline of exercise in my room. These are movements known to most people, but, sad to say, in- dulged in by very few They are: Standing upright. arms thrust without bending at the knees; twisting the body at the waist from extreme left to extreme right; hold ing the hands extended in front of the body, then swinging them around and as far back as possible, keeping then horizontal to the floor at all times. These simple exercises are fer the purpose of keeping the yer teblae in place. The tiny bones of the backbone are so easily misplaced during a days work that care st be taken with them. Half the head aches and other aches, think, may be directly traced to misplaced verte- brae. Therefore, if I can take five minutes of exercise each night and feel certain that will have no aches the next day, I feel that my five minutes are very well spent indeed. Some people, of course, have linn ited amount of time, or think they have. However. if they stop to learn what becomes of their minutes, they can easily find ways to save half an hour, which can be daily put into exercises that will keep them feeling fine at all times and will undoubt- edly add a few years to their lives
 But if it happens that they really haven't time to do much exercising, I would recommend that the medi- cine ball be made the one form of daily dozen. Catching and throwing a heavy ball makes one use every muscle in the body. keeps down the surplus weight and results in well trained nerves and steady eye. A
 hnf ri ich al f,f exercise is the tonic that is great for both nerves and muscle.

 It Is hoped by some that the plan will be put forward by Christmas, while it is claimed by others that there is no hope of any change what ever in the present method of hand ling the prisoners.
 Meanwhile, though it is stated that good things are provided at Thanks giving and at Christmas for the ed- ification and comfort of the wards of the stat9 the whip. which was gen. erously handed back to the wardens by the governor, is still in their hands.
