help. and the older child does not
 When and why the changer
 The display of this desire to heir by children strengthens the convic' ton that people are born into the world with natural desire to help, and that the desire leaves them only because of a growing interest in other things which brings on selfshness. II it interesting to wonder If a per son would so on enjoying helping others If that person did not see oth- CTS enjoying themselves in doing things that were not helpful. And if this is the case, who Is to blame Was the egg or the chicken first to appear in the world? Was Eve the first one to show selfish pleasure at eating an apple and did she set the example for the world? Or is the parent to blame for the failure of the child to continue that desire to help? Does the parents display selfishness thus giving the child an example that the little one follows, and does the parent, by failure to appreciate the help the child gives, discourage the small one from continuing it? Any way, however one figures it out, we are glad that we start out with right instincts. It would not do any harm to see if those instincts can be cul- tivated in the child.
 Helping hands and helping hearts"
 Make the children play their parts;
 Al on Nonfpaq
 We teach kiddies selfishness."
 "Out there in Greece, the country in which Athens is in" commentedsa serious-faced person the other evening as he helped decorate Central Park with his presence, ''the reformers ain't moliycoddles. When they sees somethin' wrong they seises 1t by force of arms-human arqs-an' they reforms it. Just now" he went on, re- ceiving proper encouragement from his hearers, they're worried about wimmin's clothes. It seems that fash ionable wimmin. in this here Athens, an foreign wimmin, which in Athens probably means American an Eng fish wimmin, who are followin' the modern trend of dress or undress de- pindin' on how you look at it. are being .terrorized by the violent activi- ties of a reform organization which aims to compel modesty by usin' force. Wimmen that wears evenin' gowns are havin' the evenin' part of their costumes tarred by these here reformers. If an arm escapes from under cover. 1t is grabbed an painted black. They're real violent, out there in Athens, these reformers are."
 T should think" remarked one of the listening group, that no reform would do much good If it were brought by force."
 The mournful-faced man gazed on the speaker with look of pity. That shows how little you know about it," he said dolefully. Your ignorance is painful. Don't you realize that this here America is the leadin' nation of the world, an of course the fellers who make the laws of the leadin' na- ton of the world must be the wisest people in the world an the laws they make must be the wisest laws? An don't you suppose them reformers in Athens is takin' pattern by the solons O this here country an the reform CTS here? An if anyone says to that Athens organization that it ain't right to molest woman forcibly an the methods ought to be in- don't you suppose the Athens organization will point to what the Anti-Saloon league here says about It-that no grand jury has got any business to recommend investigatin' It an no legislature has got a right 70 mind the grand jury if it does so I tells you our influence s spreadin' all over the world in spite of Borah an Johnson an the other solationists. Didn't you never hear the ,ong about it? Listen here: Don't use your consciences or brains; You don't know right from wrong; The ten commandments ain't no
 good
 They won't help you along The narrow path to. righteousness; Just ask this League or that Apout "hat 6oou ah "hdI As pau~ They'll tell you where you're at."
 
 If anyone thinks the Observer or l ,ther persons who writes of the af- airs of the city enjoys criticizing such person had at least me more think due him. And that's l he reason why it is especially pleas l mt to hand out few pleasant words | bout most of the people who drive ars about the city.
