age. She should not have started in
the first place anything she didn't
want to continue. If she wanted the
child in his buggy she should have
amused him and would have had no
occasion to lose her temper and his.
The mother should think In advance.
Disobedient children are Just as
OFTEN the result Of what the mother
has done as any badness on the
child's part. Children aren't bad,
they are merely less easily tired by
something than adults and they
aren't always willing to stop when
the mother who has started them off
wants them to stop.
No one who has disciplined chill
dren intelligently has ever found
that slapping and spanking got one
any place. The small baby who Is
slapped for everything wrong he
does has no idea what it is all about.
He is merely irritated and made less
easily managed, and Is just as likely
to do the same thing again.
When babies are too little to be
reasoned with they should have the
opportunity for mischief kept away
from them, or they from 1t. This is
easily enough managed with a play
pen which keeps them out of mis-
chief and therefore with no necessity
for punishment until there can be
some sense in 1t.
Later the punishment should mean
something. To deprive q child of
something which he values Is far
greater punishment than a slap,
which is forgotten as soon as the
sting subsidies.
Most corporal punishment is done
in anger. If the mother allows her
anger to cool she will be a much
saner disciplinarian and with better
results to the child.
Before child is ever punished
be sure that he is well. Sometimes
a warm bath and nap will COM
pletely regenerate q child who has
been acting like a little demon.

No matter what the existing diff

merits and beauty of the formal

there Is in the hardy perennial bor-

heart as we'll as the aesthetic side OF

Not Sufficient Funds


Women give banks less trouble
than men do. This astounding state
ment comes from the head teller of
one of the biggest financial institu-
tions in the country, and we're all
out of breath over 1t.
Haven't we read from childhood
that joke about the woman whose
account couldn't be overdrawn be-
cause she had SO many checks left?
Haven't we always heard that no
woman's- checkbook ever taliles ac-
curately with the banks notion of
her deposits and Withdrawals?
This image-breaker goes on to dis
illusion us. "Women who have been
accustomed to conducting their own
affairs at home are the most accur-
ate customers of bank" says he
kindly. Then he adds that lawyers
are the most careless.
Not only Is lawyer likely to
make a difference between tha body
and the figures of check, but he is
likely to forget to sign it or to in
dorse one made out to him.
We can now breathe easier. Our
conscience will not longer trouble us
over that time we made the gas COM
pany collect in person the ninety five
cents we owed it. Our addition tech
nique is fairly dependable, but our

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Obedience

Obedience
The commonest sight one sees
when with children Is disobedience
to commands given them, and the
second commonest sight is a mother
who Furnishes such disobedience by
anything from a slap on the hand to
cruel and vindictive spanking. Not
long ago there was an example of
this In railway station. Mothers
on journeys have notoriously short
tempers and are more easily irritated
than when they are at home. II Is
usually the mother who never de-
mands any kind of obedience when
she is home, who takes the child to
instant task when he disobeys In
public.
\ The baby, for he was hardly old
yenough to walk. wanted to drag his
buggy about the station instead of
sitting In 1t quietly. The mother en-
couraged him and laughed at him
until he thought he was having
fine time. Then she grew tired and
wanted to put him in 1t. Every time
he was seated he stood up and
crawled out. At last her patience
was exhausted and she gave him a
resounding slap and yank that set
him to bowling loudly. The last
glimpse l caught of him he was still
screaming, had thrown his cap on
the dirty floor, and his mother look
cd as If she could com murder.
What did she teach the child?
Absolutely nothing. She upset him

Health Fables
Don't Coon Yourself


Nov, don't get yourself impris-
oned in a tent. You might just as
well stay home in your Sx10 city
apartment" warned the physical in
structor when Mrs. Mann was pack
ing up for her vacation.
Most people think that tenting
out is a healthful stunt" he con-
tinued, well it is, II properly prac-
ticed. But most people don't know
how to tent out and you have to be
careful with tents of the old-fash-
loned variety.
Most people treat tents as though
they were dog kennels in which to
crawl. Unless the weather is
stormy the tent flaps should be kept
up to allow the fresh circulation of
air.
TENTS, when entirely closed, al
low little or no air to enter and,
since you go into the vacation coun-
try to get fresh air, why coop your
self up at night?
Its far better to use the tent as
storm shelter and sleep out under
the sky--there's a kick for you If
you've never tried 1t.
There are many tents being made
now, however, that lend themselves
easily to opening and these are
preferable to those of ancient vim
tage."
