Figures Of Speech

"Are we in for another tulip
craze?" asked a financial writer, de-
scribing a recent boom in stocks.
He was referring to the reckless
speculation that swept over Europe
in the seventeenth century, as a re-
suit OF the tulip growing mania in
the Netherlands. In the years 1884
to 1887 that country went almost
literally mad over the growing of
tulips. SO pronounced was the craze
that the name "tulipmania" was
coined for ii. 1t was a wild desire
for growing or acquiring the flow
ers, and it led to unbounded specu-
lation In the bulbs and in shares Of
stock in the companies that grew
them or dealt in them.
Tulip msrts were set up in r.
terdsm, Amsterdam and other cities,
A root Of the species called "Vice-
roy" sold for $3.50; "Semper Au-
gustus" sold for more than double
that sum. So widespread and viru-
lent did the craze become that final
ly the government was compelled 10
take steps against it. 1t was one
OF the widest manifestations Of the
"get-rich-Quick" spirit ever known.

OVER LIES HURDLES
How to Be q. Good Citizen.
BY LOUIS E. BISCH
Copyright, 1895. Premier synd.. Inc.

Citizenship carries with it great
privilege. but few persons realize it.
In a democracy such as ours we
soon become used to the idea that
we have something TO say, that we.
in the last analysis, hold the balance
Of power.
But do we fully realize the re-
sponsibilities that should and do 20
hand in hand with the privilege Of
citizenship?
Do We recognize that not only is
it our duty to vote with care and
intelligence but that we owe it to
the state to develop our own indi-
yidual resources TO the fullest pos
sible extent for the good Of all?
We have received much.
Therefore, we owe much TO the
community in which we live, to the
state, to the nation!
Great citizens like Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, Webster,
Adams, Lincoln. Roosevelt. Wilson.
Page, Choate-these men appreciat-
ed their responsibilities.
We may not be able to become
such renowned citizens as they, but
at least we can all develop our la
tent powers and thereby become bet
ter citizens than we are.
Good citizenship carries with it
the idea of being a thinking indi-
yidual and an active one--not one
that lazily allows others to do the
thinking and the doing for him.
Good citizenship carries also with
II the obligation to think and TO act
as an individual and not TO follow
blindly the ideas Of the crowd.

, is one thing born in Ian, it is an
overwhelming love for his children.
This love, it seems to me. is the
surest evidence of the divine spark
in the human heart.
Even though the tendency Of the
parent be toward evil; or, as the
Master said, even though the parent
be evil, he knows how to give good
gifts unto his children. At least, he
wants to give them good gifts.
What is the greatest gift parent
can give the child?
The greatest and best of all good
gifts is the gift Of strong vigorous
body.
To have such a body the child
must be born Of normal and healthy
parents. What a child is to be is
determined, not alone by the condi-
ton Of his own lifetime, but to a
very considerable degree by the ply
steal condition Of his ancestors.
Fortunately, much OF what we call
bad inheritance may be overcome.
Most of the congenital defects can
be lived down or otherwise rene
died. / am out of harmony with
the common fear of hereditary evils.
The individual has at least q 30 per
cent chance TO determine bis own
health. But, after all. the contribu-
tion Of his parents by the gift Of
inherited physical perfection is ire
mendously important.
The manner Of life the child will
lead is determined largely by the
teachings Of his parents. Next to
the vigor the child has at birth,
the second important thing is to
instruct that little one in the sim
pie rules Of hygiene. From earliest
infancy, through the entire period OF
childhood and adolescence, the par
ents may be giving good gifts every
day.
have thought often Of the man
ner Of life the Christ child had.
Born a normal and vigorous baby,
He was brought up amid the simple
surroundings OF q poor mans home.
He learned to use His hands. The
tools Of the carpenter were His play
things. He swung the axe and the
ADJ. He climbed the ladders and
by honest toll developed lads APP
petite for coarse and wholesome
food.
II you would give good gifts unto
your children, you can do no bet
ter than to initiate the gifts Joseph
and Mary gave Jesus. Whether your
child is rich or poor, he. must have
manual exercise II he Is to thrive.

long hours Of silence when you seek

You can find it, gems of it, like

Something to Think About
By BRUNO LESSINC

The Child Culture Club of Ogden,
Utah, recently adopted a resolution
protesting against the practice of
calling President Coolidge Cal,
They considered this very disre-
spectful. 1t is fine thing to be-
held that the great modern uplift
movement has struck Ogden, Utah.
"cal" certainly is not a very in
spring name. 1t suggests the small
town and overalls and many callow
qualities which we all know the
President does not possess. But he
had norhing to do with the selec-
ZION of his name. Children never
have. They 20 through life in
flicted with a name that struck
their parents II Sometimes
the parents themsA-s regret their
impulsivenes.
1t might be a good idea for the
Child Culture Club OF Ogden, Utah
TO start a national movement
against naming children. Give them
a number until they are Of age
and then let them pick out their
own name.

promptly prove her value.
But independence of thought and
reliance on ones own judgment must
not become an obsession.
There is nothing fine about dis

Children's Greatest Gift
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

Christmas is the children's day, a
day devoted to gift giving.
The Scriptures are filled with ref
erences to gifts and giving. Here is
one saying of the Master, recorded
by both Matthew and Luke:
IF ye, then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father
which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask Him."
Is there here a yelled suggestion
that a mans chief resemblance 10
