The Capture of De Valera

IN e VALERA the Pestiferous. lately
avowed that nothing but bullet
would stop him from making a
strenuous canvass for election from County
Glare to the DAHL or parliament, of Ireland,
his platform bsing reputation of that which
stands accomplished for her liberty and
peace. Well, he has been stopped, and not
by bullet. While \haranguing crowd at
Ennis yesterday. he was surrounded by a
squad of Free State troops and arrested In
a manner most disappointing, no doubt, TO
his thirst for the theatric, What the govern
ment means to do with him, now that it
has got him. is yet to be revealed, At least,
it has silenced for the nonce the most garru-
lous of Erin's trouble-makers.
Note that it was Irish, not British SOL
diers who seized De Valera. They were act
ing as police of the substantial Free State
which he has been conspiring to supplant
with a quixotic republic" of which he him
sell belize would be dictator. Despite the
of Irelands people regard the new political
order and despite their wish for concord and
co-working throughout the land he would
not abide by the decision OF their ballots
Instead, he did his ranking worst to rekin-
dle\old feuds, and for a while succeeded in
bringing the country to brink of ruin by
civil war Fortunately, Providentially, the
young government withstood the fiery test;
its would-be destroyer failed. Yet notwith-
standing his defiance of its laws, his attacks
upon its life, De Valera had the audacity to
announce himself candidate in the Free
States forthcoming general election, candi-
date committed to the overthrow of the gov
eminent under whose auspices he was run
ming!
Greatly aggrieved at the upshot he natu-
rally is, and more than ever persuaded that
an Ireland which can maintain peace and
freedom without his supernal assistance is
doomed. AS to what will be done with De
Valera, long-suffering citizens of the State
he has plagued may well recall DisraeFs
reply when asked to define the difference be-
tween misfortune" and disaster. Said the
keen prime minister eff Mr.. Gladstone
should fall into the Thames, that would be
misfortune; but if he should be rescued,
that would be a disaster"

The South as d Builder

A TLANTA'S building record for the first
"A half of the current year was not far
short of the total for the preceding
<twelvemonth. This becomes the more graft
flying in the light of figures now presented
by the Manufacturers Record for the South
as whole, Nearly three hundred million
dollars worth of construction contracts, says
that authority were awarded in the South
between the beginning of January and the
end of June, 1929, little less than the
the aggregate for all of 1921" AS the re-
bases its reckoning include only contracts Of
ten thousand dollars or more, it is believed
that at least one hundred thousand dollars
may warrantably be added for a multitude
OF dwellings and small buildings.
The range and diversity of this construc-
ton appears from a summary of the larger
contracts. They include
.''Highway work, paving, bridge and road
construction, which lead with $50, 581 900;
! apartment houses and hotels come next with
an aggregate of $54,742, 900; miscellaneous
enterprises follow with $51,149,000; bank
and office buildings, $25,55O,OOO, while
school buildings come next with $23,9S7, 900,
and church buildings $7,112,OO0. Sewers
drainage and waterworks total $14,460, 900,
while the city and county buildings figure up
ss,34S,OOO or nearly million less than the
and considerably less than one-third of the
amount of school building contracts. During
the week as reports of the Manufacturers
Record show, many new enterprises OF i'm
pcrtance have been projected. Typical of
some OF the more important ones are the
following: A $10OOO,O00 industrial canal
project is being promoted at Norfolk by the
same interests who secured the location at
that point of Henry Ford's new plant. A
chamber of commerce building is to be erect
ed at Spartanburg, S, c., at cost of ST.
500, 090. North Carolina is asking bids on
112miles of highways and also on a number
of bridges. Key West will probably vote
shortly on an issue of $500, 900 of bonds to

YOUR BRIGHT CHILD
BY H. Addington Bruce

T. ROM an anxious parent comes an in
quiry regarding the connection be-
tween mental precocity and nervous
disease Such an inquiry is manifestly an ex-
preston of the widespread belief that child
Intellectually more active and advanced than
most children of his age is thereby predis-
posed to nervousness, perhaps to serious men,
tai disorders
Nor can ii be denied that the frequent
nervous and mental collapses of uncommon
ly bright children would seem to give war
rant for this belief.
Actually, however 1t is seldom, il ever,
their precocity that brings such children to
grief. 1t is the unwise way in which they arc
treated by their parents. Consider what hap
pens in the case of many, perhaps most,
preeocious children.
Instead of adopting a common sense attt-
I,tude toward the precocity-that is, taking
it for granted and making no fuss about it
the parents boast and vaunt it among their
friends and neghbors. They delight in put
ting their child on exhibition, so to speak,
and in his presence praise him and let others
praise him in the most extravagant terms
This almost inevitably gives the child an
exaggerated sense of his Importance. When
there is added as there usually is, failure to
discipline, failure to train in emotional con-
troll, the tendency is toward the development
of an egotism characterized not alone by un-
due self-esteem but also by an unpleasant
Selfishness
Disastrous consequences result when the
child shifts, as he soon or late must, from
the shelter of the home to the open contacts
of the school and playground.
Because, of his selfishness and egotism he
is unpopular with teachers and schoolmates
alike. Accustomed to lording it in the little
domain wherein he has lived, he cannot
bring himself to make the Accommodations
necessary for smooth social intercourse. And,
bring himself to make the accommodations
resents what he regards as humiliations.
Then indeed he is in fair way to break
down nervously perhaps to collapse in that
dire insanity of youth, dementia precox But
to say that his nervous mental malady is
a direct outgrowth of the uncommon bright
ness he earlier displayed is sadly to misun-
derstand the real situation.
Had different policy been followed in the
home-a policy not of discouraging the
brightness but of assisting the bright child
to gain emotional control and to avoid ego
tism-the outcome would have been alto
gether different.

veniences and that is at the same time
devoid of the noise and confusion of
the hotel located in the busy down
town district.

favorite stopping place. It is absolute.
ly modern and possesses every con-
venience necessary to the comfort Of
its guests and is within a few blocks
of the heart of the downtown section
but at the same time is far enough
removed to be away from the din Of
traffic.
1t is very accessible, as it is located
on the Illinois st. car line which gives
splendid service, is only a couple of
blocks from the terminal station and
in direct line with the Union Station.
The hotel is well managed and Is of
attractive appearance. An entrance
way leads to the lobby which is in the
form of an open court with a rallied
balcony overlooking 1t from each floor.
The lobby is attractively furnished in
overstuffed velour. Mirrors and lamps
add to the homelike appearance.
A coffee shop, barber shop and tailor
