EF your child won't obey you after
 you have tried all other ways of
 securing obedience, as rule (nOt self are to blame.
 Have you ever heard of the law of suggestion? Do you realize that you yourself are putting into your child's mind just the very idea of doing the very thing that you don't want him to do?
 There was once a devOut Hindu who went to a master with a great reputa- tion and said, Master. what must l do to obtain Nirvana?' ?'' The Master an- swered, ''Thou must bathe in the Ganges on the seventh hour of the seventh day Oi the seventh month of the seventh year from this day; that is all. But if thou thinkest even once of thy left nostril, thou wilt verify not attain to Nirvana on that day, Be- ware lest in that hour thou thinkest of thy left nostril.'
 Do you see? Of course, when the poor devotee came to the appointed time, he could think of little else but his left nostril. Do you expect your little child to manage such an unruly animal as the minds is without some miraculous assistance which we hu- mans so far have not discovered?
 What you have done, you see, is to put clearly into the foreground of your child's mind nicely mapped out plan of action; you tell him just what to do and just how to do it; and the more ardently you impress him with the idea of such a pleasant way of spending his time while you are gone, the more sure will he be to do just that.
 Have you ever looked out of high window at the ground below and the more you looked the more you be- came fascinated with the idea of throwing yourself down? The tempta- if you didn't withdraw your head into tion becomes almost irresistible, and the room, over you would go.
 Do you. get my point? You can't think two. and say four. at the same instant of time; two thoughts can't be in the focus of consciousness at the same time.
 intelligent people believe the mind to be some kind of magic machine; if you put into it an idea with the word MOTT or 'DON'T' in it, somehow or other the muscles will execute just the appropriate action corresponding to the thought in your mind, even though that action be just the con- trary to what you have suggested to tn mind into which you put the idea.

 It has never occurred to this mother that she really is to blame for what she laments. Her desire for a beautiful garden and a fine lawn is doing ire parable harm to the character building of her child, and the finest garden in the world is not worth such a sacrifice

LIZARD A MAsTERPIECE
Designs And Blending Of Hues Like
 An Exquisite Tapestry


 An Exquisite Tapestry
 Lizards are incredibly beautiful ob- jects. Their backs are covered with a thousand designs. that man has never thought of Cor his tap tries. They have the same dim, glowing, fenestrated colors that you find in tapestries and old rugs.
 In spite fO their astonishing beauty, many wild creatures have color schemes which we of the western world have been trained to consider quite dreadful -purplish pinks and pea soup. greens in close association, and so on. But 1 have never seen a lizard whose vest ments and gauntlets and boots were not decorated in accordance with the most exacting standards fo civilized Jesthetics. Their colOrs always blend and they are further enhanced by the dull web of scale edges spread over them. The most incidental tones of the head are repeated somewhere, on back or elbow joint or tail. The most brilliant colors are brought close up to the dullest in splendid climaxes of chiaroscuro.
 In fact, the eye of one's artistic ap- preciation never fails to be rested when looking upon these glorious little mys- teries of nature. ,Es
 Evolution has surpassed herself in the decoration of lizards faces. Blue, that flickers very quickly on certain forest lizards back, is developed into tiles of blue faience on his sculptured cheeks. His dull, rusty body colors turn into absolute velvet black on his throat and about his. neck.
 When you gaze through Tense your glance seems to skid off the furnished surfaces of his face and simply sink into the night of these jagged rifts, On further inspection you see that his head scales of gray and blue. enamel acquire keels of coral along his chin, and flower alarmingly into eabbages of sharp turquoise around the abalone pearl of his eardrum. m.--Isabel Cooper in the Atlantic Monthly.

TURKEY CLOSES
MISSION SCHOOLS
DESPITE PROTEST
France, Italy, America
Join Outcry


MOSCOW, June 27.-Following the
closing down Of the French Catholic
Mission schools in Turkey, the Turk
fish Government has closed the italian
religious schools at Constantinople, as
well as two American schools Of high
learning, the explanation given in the
respective order being that the high
education is a state monopoly. The
Italian legation has lodged protest
The Americans have applied for a
stay of execution, Of the order, ex-
pressing their willingness to subject
the American schools to the Turkish
laws. AS for the request of the Vati-
can to reopen the French missionary
schools, the Turkish Government has
declined to entertain this idea.
The Angora correspondent Of the
Rosta News Agency reports that, con-
trary to former statements to the eff
feet that the closing down of French
schools was but an insignificant in
cident, the French Government has
lodged protest with Angora, urging
that this act conflicts with the Lausan-
mes Treaty and the Angora Agree
ment. The French President stated
in a press interview, that the irrecon-
cilabIe attitude of the Turkish Gov
eminent may have an evil effect on
Franco-Turkish relations, as. not
withstanding all the warnings and an
Official note, Turkey insists on hav-
ing her own way.
However, all the Turkish press, in
GLIDING the semi-oficial papers, de-
clare that the granting OF privileges
to French schools in Turkey savours
too much of the capitulatious system.
The press stresses that the closing
down of these schools does not at all
contradict the Treaty.

NEGROES HIT THE OLD PARTIES

Dyer Of Missouri, widely celebrated
as author of the anti-lynching bill
which was so carefully Killed by a
democratic filibuster assisted by re-
publican senatorial sabotage. Dyer a
shrewd stump speaker, took his cue
from his predecessors. The repub-
lican congressman won a storm of ap-
plause by shouting to his Negro au-
dience, "You ought to get over the
idea that you owe debt Of gratitude
to certain political party because
you were freed from slavery" Mr.
Dyer carried his speech to crescendo
by declaring that the confirmation Of
the appointment Of the negro, Cohen
Of New Orleans, was mot the work
of a republican, but of Farmer-La-
borite of Minnesota" and that Some
of the most cowardly men on earth
are republican senator's" His au-
dience carrying him along, Mr.. Dyer
went further ldenouncing the republi-
can senator Pepper for ignoring the
rights Of Negroes, two-thirds Of whom
he said, are denied all political rights.
Discuss Organization Problem.
After It had begun to look as tho
the Negroes were to be disillusioned
about the republican party by the
hands Of republican orators, congress-
man Dyer trimmed his sailed sails,
finishing with-a plea for votes for
the republican party and submission
to the religion of the white master
class.

Fear Drives Teacher,
Victim of Goldfish"
to Quit Job and City

Walter Wilson and Mott Kirk
Mitchell, instructors at the Harvard
school, who were arrested and gold
fshed" in connection with the murder
Of Robert Franks and later released,
have quit their connection with the
school, it was announced yesterday.
Walter Wilson had previously said
that he was very much afraid because
he had made charges against Mike
Grady and his detective bureau
squad for having beaten him.
Wilson said that he was afraid to
press the charges because he thought
that he might go out some night and
never return. When the council COM
mittee on police was trying to investi-
gate his case he left town without
leaving any address. Friends of Will
son said that they thought that the
publicity of the charges he had made
against Grady was responsible for his
leaving town.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
Convention Hall, New York, June 81.
1t was again day of the dead at
the Democratic convention.
If Jefferson, jackson, Cleveland and
Wilson were available, they would
win the nomination in a walkover.
Not even the fastest or blacklist
steed would stand chance against
this quartet of dead heroes.
Even Jess Smith was recalled
from Hades to lend background OF
realism to the invocation of the spir-
its and to bring us up to date.
Temporary Chairman Harrison
flowery oratory was of no avail to him
in getting the dollhouse in order
There was much less enthusiasm and
spirit amongst the delegates today
than the little displayed yesterday.
Bankers Join Prayers.
The Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor
of Tennessee got right on the job and
showered his daily dozen of blessings
upon the heat oppressed delegates
and galleries.
"Save us from every evil way" was
the keynote of the heavenly address,
On the platform well-fed bankers
joined in the prayer for forgiveness,
Their appeals to Jesus were at
times audible enough to give one the
impression that God and Mammon
had openly established a united front
to save the Democratic party from
evil spirits and sinister influences in
the coming election.
Play for Woman Vote.
Mrs. Leroy Spring of South Caro-
lima made the report of the creden-
tisls committee. 1t was unanimously
adopted.
The play for the women's votes that
the democratic machine is making was
rather crudely evident when the tenn
porary chairman made a plea for the
unanimous consent of the convention
in behalf Of Miss May Kennedy of the
Bronx, New York, being made perma
nent vice-chairman. He excused this
procedure on the plea of his not hav,
ing had chance to see all his col
leagues on the committee for action
on his choice. Harrison's request was
acceded to as planned.
Teapot Hero, Chairman.
Then Thomas Walsh, the Teapot
Dome investigator, was introduced as
permanent chairman of the conven.
ton. The oleaginous strategy of the
democratic machine was obvious. It
could be scented in every whirl of the
wheels of the smooth running ma,
chinery Of the convention.
But it required quite some effort to
stir up for Walsh even as much en-
thusiasm as the announcement OF
Harrison for temporary chairman

seem to have lost their wind. The
well-kept cliques seem to lack energy
,Goading is necessary to get them into
action and applause.
"A real democrat and the greatest

chosen committee escorted Walsh to
