there was a chance that they would
not be caught.
In all directions the bang. bang OF
terrible guns could be heard from
the little people in feathers and fur
would shiver and their hearts would
be filled with dread and sadness.
Each time they wondered which of
their friends they would see no more.
Day after day stories OF dreadful
things were brought to the little peo-
pie of the Great Meadow and in the
Green Forest. They were stories that
We're whispered, for they We're too
dreadful to tell aloud. They were not
the stories of those who had been
killed that seemed, SO dreadful. They
were the stories sof those who had
been wounded. but had escaped the
hunters only to suffer heiplessly.
So. the beautiful October days were
filled with dread. The little people in
fear that the rustling of a falling leaf
would make their hearts jump. They
ate because they must eat to live.
But they took no joy in their food.
They ate hurriedly. snatching a bite
and then looking and listening for
rible gun. Between meals they
sought hiding PAGES. Even those
who were supposed to be protected by
the laws passed by man shared in this
dreadful fear. for they had learned
that there were hunters who would
shoot at any living thing. Not even
Striped Chipmunk was safe from these
hunters.
Peter Rabbit kept close to the dear

a letter received right here in Amer
lea in the year 1923, written by a
professional woman working in q
large city. Moreover. l could show
you duplicates of that statement re-
ceived almost daily. And yet Lincoln
died to free the slaves!
Now the most serious part of such
doctrine isn't the bullying and nag
ging which such plan involves, but
rather the product that such a plan
turns out.
Here is the child who is to play
his part in ruling the world tomor-
row. And such q world! Not the
world his parents lived in when they
were young, but q chaotic place, war
torn, tragic and confusing, with hard
ly fixed code or established value
Think of the initiative it's going to
take to serve in world like that
Think of the amount of originality
and will power which will be neces
sary to cope with itr Never has a
parents job been harder, nor more
vitality important
And now see how this woman pre-
pares the child for that job. She
actually bones him of all his mental
structure, exactly as one bones cod
fish. She reduces him to a pulp be-
meath the force of her will. BY the
time that child is twenty -one and
turned loose from mamma, he'll be
just about as useful in world of
pushing aHairS as secondhand fish
bait
What a hideous slogan that is
SHOW him who's boss" Why should
you want to be boss? How infinitely
more diverting and comforting to be
the childs friend, companion, guide.
How much more inspiring to learn
from the child! For the child is a
better product than you are, unless
you manhandle him. He's farther on
in the scale of human progress, he's
heir to greater things. True love and
intelligence recognize this fact, but
the petty tyrant imposes his will re-
gardless of the child's good.

usually not borne on a stem.

With purring ways and velvet paws
Well armed with sharp and cruel claws.

To gain with ease the bloody prize.

the choice of three kinds of cold
cream-a very heavy cream for

will not keep the skin from chap

cream, which should only be used
now and then.
