| Child Training like charity begins
! at home. In all the multitude oil
| words which have been written OF
spoken on the subject nothing more
to the point has ever been uttered
than is contained in a few simple
| passages Of scripture:
Honr thy father and thy mother.
Children, obey your parents.
Hearken unto thy father that be-
! got thee.
Despite not thy mother, when she
is old.
Hear the instructions of thy father.
Forsake not the law of thy mother.
Ye shall fear every man his
mother and his father.
The eye that mocketh at his
father, and despiseth to obey his
mother, the ravens of the valley
shall pick it out.
There is law that governs child
training and it is not a man-made
law at all. 1t is a law that existed
before the first child Of the first man
came into existence. 1t is a law
recognized by the lower animals,
from the highest to the very lowest.

that law. 1t is the home. The child
who does not learn obedience there
will not learn it in school, at the "Y'

He will not learn it anywhere
Judge w. S. Pricket of Whining
ton, Del, Juvenile court magistrate
put bee in the bonnet of the well
fare specialist recently at a meet
ing for the discussion of the child
welfare problem. The prevailing
tendency is this:
The family abdicates to the school,
the community abdicates to the state,
the state abdicates to congress and
congress abdicates to the senate.
And he adds:
Family policy is dictated largely
by the children, consequently before
either the school or the church can
assume any guardianship, the seeds
of potential disorder have been
sown. The remedy is not only bet
ter law, or better schools, or better
churches, it is better parents.
The responsibility for child rear
ing is primarily upon the parent.
The community with it's schools, it's
churches, its clubs can assist in
carrying forward the work, but is
cannot relieve the parents of one jot
or little of his responsibility. The
state with its compulsory school
laws an make more distant con-
tribution, but it cannot displace
either the responsibility of the par
ent or of the community. Laws
which are aimed at dividing authori-
ty or of making the job of child train.

ing.

In the issue of Printers Ink dat.
ed Feb. there appears a long aid
highly informative discussion OF
broadcasting, it's past, present ans
future, with a special reference t.
advertising by this means.
The author of the article, Albert
E. Haase has covered the whole
ground better than it has been COW
cred before, and he reveals not a
few hitherto wellkept radio secret.
One of them is the fact that ths
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company occupies a commanding
almost monopolistic, position in the
radio field, with an enormous power
over practically all it's activities.
The power is due to it's command OF
basic patent, on which broadcasting
depends, and this broadcasting de-
ponds, and his is not materially les;-
sened by the arrangements which
it has made for the use of it's pat
ents by the Radio Corporation of
America
At this time the cost of broadcast
ing is all imposed on advertisers of
che kind or another, and this is as
true of the RAD io Corporation S
sending stations as of others, in
spite of the fact that, according tc
the testimony of Mr.. Haase, it takes
no payment from anybody for any
thing it sends out from any of It's
stations. Its advertising is of IL
self. The telephone company, on
the other hand, sells all the All.
or ''time," or whatever the right
term is, to anybody that wants it
and is willing to pay the high prices
charged. And many are willing to
pay for it.
The manufacturers of receiving
sets, in Mr.. Haase's opinion are i'll
a somewhat dangerous position, as
they have no power or influence
over the sending companies; AMI
while they are selling multitude o.
sets under an implied contract that
the material sent out always will DC
worth taking, they could not help
themselves if the whole distribution
degenerated into advertising OF
which the public soon would weary
There is a possibility that the
government may intervene at any
time and take the close control OF
radio that it has of other public
utilities, fixing what it considers
reasonable charges instead Of what
putting its ban on some kinds OF
advertising or even on all OF IT.

The Age OF "Runts."

There is no doubt the American
people are losing in stature. Dav-
export has shown a falling off in
stature within the last fifty years
OF at least half an inch and d..
Henry Fairfield Osborn states shat
Investigations made during tie
World war led to the discovery that
cur people on the average had lost
two and half inches in stature.
since the Civil war;"
Some of the loss may be due Il
immigration. But l believe, with
DR.. Sargent, physician director of
Harvard university, that other caus-
cs are at work-causes which are
producing not only loss of stature
bue general race deterioration. DIR.
Sargent, for example, calls attention
to the fact that the greatest loss is
shown in those portions of the coun-
try where city jewellers are the most
numerous, as in New England, for
example,, where two-thirds of the
| population are town dwellers.
What are the direct causes OF
physical dwarfing? Unbiologic
habits are the chief factors in race
deterioration. A boy born into the
world with the capacity to become
giant may be dwarfed and weaken
ed by wrong feeding. The blighting
| influence of syphilis, of alcohol, to-
bacco and other drugs, gluttony
sensuality and other vices, cannot
be questioned, and these destructive
! influences are multiplying.
That tobacco has decided influ-
cnce upon growth has been definite
ly proven. Tobacco produces grave
disturbance in nutrition, as indicat-
ed by loss of weight. Roger showed
j that a solution of nicotine, two
parts to the thousand stopped the
growth of plxnts.-Dr. John Harvey

hauled out the engine and dragged
it, wit ha score of men tugging at a
long rope, to the fire, and then fel!

The Friendship Fire company was
organized on Aug Is, 1774, the year
before Washington bought the en-
CINE for it., and is still in existence,
although now Alexandria has paid
there yet, and on special occasions
it is brought out by the Friendship
Veterans Fire association.
Not only did George Washington
buy this apparatus for his neighbors
but he himself helped to work it il,
the last year of his life.
The incident is related in "The
Romance of Historic Alexandria"
by the Rev. Eugene Beauharnais
Jackson.
Now and then Washington, who
was living quietly at Mount Vernon,
rode over to Alexandria on business
or to visit friends. On one such
occasion, in 1899, as he entered the
town he found the Friendship COM
pany getting into action at a fire
near the market place. Washington
himself, although then in his late
sixties, dismounted and took his
place with the fire company, which
had elected him honorary captain
years before as a form of thanks
for the engine. The former presi-
dent of the United States did the
work of fireman-and hot work 1t
was-as conscientiously as if he
were fighting battle.-M. B. Levic..

Washington A Fireman

George Washington was once
fireman. At least he helped to put
out one fire in Alexandria, Virginia,
and he also presented the volunteer
company of that town with a fire
engine.
Washington presented the engine
in ITS, to the Friendship Fire conf
pany. That was almost 100 years
before there were paid firemen. In
those days the fire-fghting was
done by volunteers, who belonged
to different companies, just as it
is today in small towns When fire
was discovered, big bell was rung,

east at daybreak-an early re-
minder to Isaac Walton's dis
ciples that the trout season is
coming.
The psychological spring begins
when the buds break out, tho bees
commence to warm themselves in
the sunshine, the violets perfume
the banks of brooks, and the birds
come back, not to take back
ward look" like Emily Dickinson's
birds Of Indian summer, but to
start building their nests, intend
ing to stay until fall.
Doctor A. ID. Hopkins, speaks Of
a "bioclimatic law" in obedience
to which 1.-The upward and north
ward advance of spring averages
four days for / degree Of latitude,
for 400 feet of altitude. for l de-
gree Fahrenheit OF rise in mean
temperature"
The advance of autumn is at
the same rate in the opposite di-
rection.
The meaning is that if you live
on IL plateau 400 feet high spring
will, on the average? reach you
four days later than it reaches
your neighbor on the lower level.
So, for about every seventy miles
that you go north you will find
spring four days later.
Doctor Hopkins AYERS that, on
the average. spring arrives "pheno-
logically" thirty-two days earlier
on the Pacific coast Of the United
States than on the Atlantic coast.
Those Of US who live in the East
have long known that, though we
may not have known just how
many days the difference amounted
to.
1t is the "cold wall" to which
we are largely indebted for our
belated Atlantic springs. The
northern ice and icebergs do
thermic battle with the Gulf
Stream, and by means Of the cold,
heavy water that they send down,
hugging the coast, they crowd the
more genial current that comes
from the West Indian seas out
into the ocean, to battle the lOll-
ing inha bitants of the Sargasso
Sea, while we shiVer with Febru-
airy breezes in the midst of April
showers, and together with May
flowers.
Adapted to Climate.
Professor Frank II. Smith, of
the University of Illinois, has a
chronological" phenomenon of
curious interest to relate. He
says that a number of English
starlings that had lived in the
northern United States for thirty
years migrated southwark for the
first time in the fall of 1923.
Through sheer ignorance they
had had to adapt themselves to
a climate wholly unnatural in it's
severity, for at home in northern
Europe the species migrates regu-
larly to southern Europe" So it
is inferred that their first know
ledge that a similar migration
for the cold season was open to
them in America probably came
from their contact with the flocks
of blaCkbirds and grackles with
which they mingled
Since 1t took them thirty years
to see the point 1t might be con-
Guided that the skull of an Eng
lish startling is armor-plated
against logical differences.

On February 81 there appeared In
this Service an account IT decllna-
of the American Federation OF Labor
to speak at the recent SESSION OF the
Academy of Political Science. It Was
president of the Federation Bank in
New York, had insisted, as cnndf-
ton of his appearance on TIE program
man. president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers. be withdrawn. The
objection to Mr.. Hillman was "ased
on his attitude toward Russia. which
is at variance with that OF the Amert
can Federation of Labor.
A letter from Professor Samuel Nc
envy, to Mr.. Green was quoted. in
which Mr.. Lindsay explained that Mr..
Brady had not only declined to speak
had said that he would wire his col
leagues and "see that no American
Federation of Labor man attends or
closed with the sentence. Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Perkins have followed Mr..
Brady's course in refusing TO speak"
We are now in receipt OF a letter
that his decIInation of the Academy's
invitation had no relation whatever
TO the iderations advanced hy Mr..
Brady in explanation OF his own re-
fusaI and in his pre.iicti, IN of a SINH
lar action on the part of his colleagues
in the American Federation of Labor.
Mr. Green says, "It was quite i'm
possible for me to arrange my engage
ments and my affairs so that could
finally accept the invitation extended
to me by Mr.. Lindsay to speak Mt the
meeting of the Academy of Political
Science on March ninth. This IL the
only reason why I did not appear on
the program and why did not speak
1t is pleasure to record Mr..
Green's own statement OF his course
in this matter.
