Our Children-By Angelo Patri

is their duty and it should be their de-
light to study the child and select what
he needs and see that he uses II wisely.
And oh, dear me. how difficult a
task that is and how much more diff
cult it grows with each passing year.
For the experiences the children of to-
day must face are far more varied.
far more powerful than those of the
past generations. increased by the
square of the distance, they make us
gasp with apprehension and alarm. If
we allow them to confuse us, yes. But
we need not.
We have only to remember that no
matter how humanity may enamel and
paint the face of things, underneath
lie the everlasting laws of righteous
ness, a few simple principles that a
fool may see and hold by. The length
of skirt will not matter if the girl has
been taught health. The use of the
motor car will not matter if the lad
has been taught respect for the power
he is using, responsibility for its sane
use. Parties will do no harm if the
boys and girls have been taught truth
and honor and loyalty.
Butts and ifs, you see. 1t is the butts
and the ifs that make the upbringing
Of the children SO difficult, for they
must be cared for in the beginning of
things. When the children lie in your
arms you begin the teaching that is to
stand as a bulwark against the day of
temptation. And the teaching must
come out Of you and me, and it leaves
us limp and worn and weary.
There is no easy way for either
teacher or learner until the task is
done. But there is a promise of CON
tent, after success, for both.

Neglected Colds.

This department dislikes being a

ever possible avoids talking about
ailments and illnesses. But this time
rf year colds are so prevalent that it

\ few mothers take every cold as a

largest number are inclined to say in
an ofhaud manner: "Oh. the child
Just has a cold" one need not be the
first kind of mother-but also one
must not he the second. Colds are
indicative of general lowered vital
ity which has made it possible for
the cold germ To gain a foothold in
the system. Colds running over long
periods show plainly that the child s
system is 50 run down that he cannot
manufacture in his body enough anti
bodies to fight the cold and win a
victory over it. This in itself is serl-
Gus enough.
\ constant cold, one which partially
clears up and then breaks out afresh,

dtion and should be brought TO the
immediate attention of a physician.
Sometimes head colds will travel
from the nose into the ear canal and
set up an infection that at its worst
may result in maStoiditiS and at its

THE OVERWEIGHT CHILD

Your visiting nurse or physician
Will give you printed card showing
standard weights for the child of diff
ferent ages This is based upon the
ratio Of the height to the weight and
has been worked out after years of
consideration. About what should be
done If your child is overweight there
has been much discussion, but per.
haps the most timely advice Is that
recently given by B. s. Veeder, M. D.
When we speak of overweight we
usually mean an abnormal amount of
fat. In child this does not usually
mean any particular degeneration of
the organs. 1t simply means that the
child is too heavy and clumsy for
comfort, and efficiency. He is unable
to fit into the scheme of things. He
is so awkward that there is a marked
tendency to injury when he attempts
to work or play. He is thus debarred
from entering into the usual school
athletic activities and Is compelled to
loaf 1t thus happens that the very
child that should have the play cannot
play"
Veeder does not stress the undoubt-
ed influence Of the endocrine glands,
nor does he say much about the in
fluence of heredity. He is inclined
to think that when a child is fat he
has been made so by fat.producing
foods,
What he emphasizes most is that
the overweight child should be en-
couraged to work off the fat rather
than to get rid Of 1t by too rigid diet.
In fact he does not recommend re-
ducing particularly, believing that II
is usually better to retain the present
weight and grow to it, than to upset
the child's appetite and disturb the
domestic serenity by too much con-
Germ about overweight.
Watch the chld's weight then, but
do not become disturbed about
slight increase if he is healthy and
active. Try to satisfy his appetite
with thin soups, milk, some lean
meat, some bread, plenty of green
vegetables and pure water, almost no
potatoes, mushes, pastries, pies or
buildings. But encourage him to
healthy activities in the way of plays,
games and hikes.
And be patient with him and give
him time to grow tall enough to carry
his weight gracefully.

the new capitol bill to success. There
was early opposition to the bill, due
largely to the desire Of some senators
to curb DR.. Canyons alleged activity
in other legislative directions, but
when the measure came to a vote 1t
had no opposition on the floor. In
the State Land Commissioner C. v.
Savidge explained the states capitol
land grant, giving the extremely con-
sentative estimate that timber and
lands could be sold under present con.
ditions for at least s11,2O9,154 while,
inclusive of tax levies that are to be
refunded to the general fund, the CAPT
tol building enterprise only owes S..

Reed, former speaker and widely
known timber authority, demonstrate
ed to the House that the capitol TIM
Der would be sold for a great deal
more than Commissioner Sayldge'S
estimate. Mr.. Reed pointed out the
fact that the Clallam and Lewis
county holdings Of the capitol grant
are now being reached by railroads
and soon could find a market il 1t
was deemed advisable to sell.

tational question whether a tax could
be levied for other state purposes and
finally that the subject is dealt with

Pass Tax Bill.
The Governor did not attempt to
control the legislative action on any
of his ten points," Therefore, while
such important suggestions as the
creation Of state tax commission
came from the Governor, the legisla.
ture is solely responsible for the man.
ner in which the idea was worked out.
This piece of legislation probably re.
ceived more careful attention and re-
vision than any other law that has
passed in many years. 1t was thor
oughly discussed two years ago, but
no legislation was discussed. This
year the bill was completely redrawn
three times and amended literally in
both houses. Its essential features
are that state supervision over prop
erty assessments and tax levies is
provided; an easy method of appeals
is furnished taxpayers and the COM
mission has real power to delve thor.
oughly into tax problems.
Rejection of the child labor amend
ment to the federal constitution was
so overwhelmingly voted in both
houses that 1t was apparent the mem.
bers came to Olympia opposed to give
Congress control over the employ
ment of minors under IS years of age.
While there was much sympathetic
talk of barring child labor at 8
younger age there was no means OF
taking test vote to determine
whether the 1S-year limit was respon-
sible for enough opposition to defeat
the amendment. However, it was
rather clearly demonstrated that
though the amendment had great
deal of sympathy and support among
women, male thought was that boy
ought to learn how to work before he
reaches IS.
Aside from the tax commission and
defeat of the child labor amendment

ACORNS AND LOVE

TT MAY surprise many people to
l know that in current superstitions
there survive not only remnants of
tree-worship, nature-worship, SURVIVOR
ship, moon-worship, ETC., which have
been changed by the ages into formulas
the origin and meaning of which those
who use them are entirely ignorant,
but that also there still remain open
and direct appeals to the heather gods
who are invoked directly by name. OF
this latter sort is superstition which is
circulated largely throughout the coun-
try in nearly all those little paper-cov-
cred books dealing with dreams and
charms which are so extensively con-
suited by the uneducated and, it must
be owned, not infrequently ION the
sly" by persons of intelligence and edu-
cation. The superstition in question is
a rite for discovering young woman's
future husband. An odd number Of
each strings on a chord as many acorns
as there are girls present. Then each
girl places her string of acorns in the
fire and watches it burn in silence.
When the acorns are consumed each
girl retires to her bed, saying as she
gets between the sheets:
May love and marriage be the theme
To visit me in this nights dream;
Gentle Venus, be my friend.
The image Of my lover send.
Then the young man whom she is
destined to marry will appear to her in
