Child Management
BY DIR. ID. A. Thorn
i4-SEN lNsTRu CTIoN

\ large percentage o. al mental
conflicts ana ahnotmalties IN adults
and children either are directly caused
or are eolorel BY unfortunate atti-
tudes or experience with the ever
present force called sex. There Is no
force in all mental life that is more
urgent in its demands for some form
of expression and none that society,
the family, and the individual will
allow less freedom
The very fact that sex as a subject
for discussion is always tabooed in
the presence Of the child accounts ior
the intense curiosity which many
children develop at an early age re-
garding the subject. All too ire
quently the ehild's natural desire to be
enlightened on this subject as freely
as on any other is met by cold reserve,
a sharp rebuff, or a dishonest answer
from one who in all other Ways Is a
considerable and wise parent. Ii Is
therefore not surprising that the child
soon learns to keep to himself The
knowledge he has gained from his
OWN investigations OF has gathered
from some more sophisticated play
mate and soon becomes as self-con-
scious about his sex life rs the par
ents are themselves.
A little cshild quickly senses a tense
atmosphere and embarrassment on
the part of the adults when faced with
his eager questions, and because OF
this he is apt to follow one Of two
lines. Disconeerting those with whom
Aa -, az f Mo
so that he will continue his question
ing at most inoppoftune times, or he
may be made SO i'll at ease and self
conscious that he determines never to
be placed In such a position again II
he can help il, and therefore ceases
TO bring his puzzles and problems tc
his parents, who should stand read!
to help him over the hard places
Because he stops his questioning and
seems uninterested is no sign that ht
is no longer filled with curiosity oyei
these mysterious things which seen
to be so shocking. He may be quietly
using every mean savailable to fine
out in other ways the answers which
he wants to know but which he viii
no longer ask.
The parents must free themselves
so far as possible from self-conscious-
ness when the subject is mentioned
Clear, frank answers suited to the
childs intelligence and development
will satisfy his interest for the mo-
ment, whereas emphasizing the matter
by flushing the child up and telling
him it is naughty" to talk of such
things will make him only the more
determined to find out why, and what
it is all about.

Lincoln's Municipal
Street Car System
Loses and Quits

Lincoln, nl.--Another chapter in the
history of municipalities in business
was written recently when the cars OF
the Lincoln Municipal Railway were
run into the barns ana the doors were
closed permanently after them.
Last year there was deficit OF
S1l 900 in the operation Of the line
and this year the city aldermen re
fused to appropriate tax money TO run
the cars. Motors on all but two Of the
SYSTEMS eight cars are burned Out
and the city has received an offer OF
only $1,000 for the lines, and that
from a junk dealer.
The city issued $4,000 worth of
bonds with which to purchase the lines
and later obtained an additional 500
900 through a bond issue with which
to improve the system. About half OF
these bonds have been retired, al
though both principal and interest
charges have been met by general
taxation as receipts from the opera
ton of the lines proved insufficient
for these purposes.
The outstanding bonds are an OBJ
legation of the city OF Lincoln and
the taxpayers must make good the
loss incident to the municipality
venture in business.

. AND STILL WE KICK

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
there wasn't anything to light the
house with excepting candles. oi
course the candle did the best II
could, but it was a punk performance
1t required considerable time for Il
to decide to flame up and even after 1t
got started any little jolt or breath OF
air was enough to make it change It's
mind. And another thing about the
candle was that it was treacherouss'

Today we speak of candle power "a,
II were really something, but real
candle power was awful. In order to
find out whether candle had any
mower or not you had to get WITHIN
six inches of it and look it square IN
the face. Six feet away candle power
was about as valuable as a thousand
shares of stock in a gold mine on the
moon.
Yet folks got along with it some
how and didn't holler They thought
candle power was great thing to be
thankful for. The candle was a
beacon in the onward march of ciylli-
cation. They pitied the cave man VINO
never had the price to buy NICE
new, white candle.
Today we press a button and our
room floods with light. We throw a
switch and turn the darkness Of the
city into the light Of day. We are the
great gazaboes. We know how to do
things and are doing new things every
minute.
AND STILL WE KICK.
Still we say the world is wobbly ami
that civilization is on the skid.

Dodge Brothers cars to the United
States Government TO be delivered TO
the Eighth Corps Area. The consid-

pger.
Six cars have already been delivered
and the other 62 are to be turned over
to the purchaser shortly, he says. The
first group will be placed in service
ut Camp Normoyle.
"The government is buying these
ears to replace Dodge cars worn out
from about eight years of service" he
states. In 1916. 1917 and 1918,
fleets of Dodge ears were bought for
army use and placed at various camps
over the country. They have been so
dependable that they are being re-
placed by more cars Of the same make.

traffic was the heaviest. Dodge cCss
were always ready 30 serve the army.
