HER FACE HER FORTUNE

my sister is awfully lucky" said
one little boy to another.
"Why?"
"She went to a party last night
where they played a game in which
the men either had to kiss a girl or
pay a forfeit of box of chocolates. "
"Well, how was your sister
lucky?"
"She came home with thirteen
boxes of chocolates"

LISTENING CHILDREN
Mrs. Nestor Noel

Some children are always HSJen-
ing to what older people are saying.
I Il. nix this is cause1 by the air of
mystery often assumed when chill
dren approach. Voices are lowered
and words spoken IN whispers. This
excites curiosity. If there were no
mystery, the children would just so
on playing their own games and
rot even want to know what the
g,own people were saying.
Lets go and play" they would
say, ard run away OF their own ac-
cord.
To say to children. you're not
wanted" is to make them wish TO
remain. If you hide bahind secret
door, the children viii at once seek
to enter.
We have no mysteries in our
house, except those delightful ones
that go with birthdays and Christ
mas time. None of us ever say to
child, go away. This is not fit for
YOU to hear" We wouldn't care
ourselves to speak of what is unfit
for childish ears! A mystery, to my
mind, generally implies scandal, and
1 have no desire to listen to this at
any time.
People tell children that it is rude
to listen to what is not intended for
them, but do they set them good
example? In rural districts, I have
heard mothers rebuke their children
for this fault, and the minute after,
they themselves were listening at
the telephone when the call was not
for them! The only way to teach
small children anything is by ex-
ample, and this applies as much to
listening as to anything else.
I have seen mothers push their
children aside and say, 81 wish you
wouldn't always come where you are
not wanted!" These children had
followed. not with any idea Oh
wrong. but because they wanted to
be with their mothers.
A child may listen because he Is
intelligent and likes to learn aDouC
things. 1t is of no use to say Kun
away Won can't understand" Chill
dren understand a great deal more
than we think they do. Their reason
ing powers are constantly growing
and before we realize it, these young
people may comprehend better tnan
we. There is certainly no wrong IN
listening if children do it openly but
of course when they listen hiding
behind doors and curtains it be-
comes a serious fault.
In case Of sickness, a small chllu 5
svmptoms should never be discussed
near by in a whisper. A childs near
ing is generally very acute. 1ncal-
culable harm may be done II NE
hears himself discussed. Ii you 90
not want him to hear what you are
saving. be careful to say 1t IN an
other room, well out Of hearing A
word caught, here and there often
does more harm than whole SEN
+ence. A child has a lively imagl-
nation. and may piece the words to-
petber in a way never intended.
"Wbere the state has bestowed ed
ucation the man who accepts II
must be content to accept it merely
as charity unless he returns 1t to
the State in full in the shape OF goou
citizenship. Theodore Roosevelt.
The little kindergarten child Is
seldom an object of this kind Oh
He usually makes return
sin full in the shape of good citizen
shin" Are the little children Of your {
community attending kindergarten?
If they are being deprived OF this
benefit. why not try to get a class
,pened? The National Kindergarten
association, 8 West Fortieth Street.

WASTE IN INDUSTRY

New York.-Waste in industry is
the major subject of discussion by the
American Construction Council, at its
spring conference in this city.
The council is attempting to spread
construction work over the entire year
and to avoid the present wasteful
periods of intensified operation dur
ing few months and the resultant
idleness the rest of the year.
The present policy not only entails
unemployment but causes congestion
in the transportation systems, which
has compelled railroads to provide alb
normal car facilities for short period
of the year, it is stated.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-05-22

How vast and wonderful is this
thing we call civilization! 1t includes
bath tubs and books, safety razors,
Sarazeni soap and magazines and
books and plays and grocery bills
and jobs.
There are all manner Of groups and
generally the group lives much unto
itself and doesn't know what is going
on in other groups.
Civilization includes all kinds of
men and women who lead certain
kinds of lives in very small circles
pretty much shaped by the conditions
around them.
Pick up highbrow magazine Read
its pages and there can be no other
conclusion except that here is some
thing written and published way up
in the clouds somewhere, where the
air is pure and serene, where nobody
ever sweats or gets mad or breaks a
| leg or has to bother about the in
stallment man. Nobody up there ever
has to wonder whether he is going to
get fired next pay day, whether the
union is going to be strong enough to
hold wages where they are or push
them up, or whether the baby's Group
is going to get better. 1t must be
wonderful up there, where everyone
is superior and knows all about every
thing.
This civilization of ours-it's not so
bad, either-is filled with and made
up of thousands of little circles of
interest, each knowing much about
themselves and very little about
Everything else. This goes for school
teachers and doctors and dentists, just
the same as for bricklayers and gro
cery store clerks and the ash man.
Perhaps more so. Dentists are said
to be the easiest marks in the world.
You can sell them anything. They
"fall'' for any story.
II How many men and women out of
every thousand really understand all
about the League of Nations, the lat
est coal conference, the fundamen-
talist dispute, the Dawes plan, the
French trouble with the Riffs, the
\ Spanish war with the Moors, the
Primo de Rivera dictatorship, the
I Mussolini regime, the Painleve pro-
gram, the American sugar tariff, the
railroad merger idea, and a dozen
more big and important things of
that general nature? How many
Really, not many, in spite of all of
our newspapers, magazine and books.
! We know lots about our own i'm
mediate affairs. We have specialized
information. We are experts about
some one thing, most of us. Any
how, we have high percentage of
experts. And we have mastered in
dustry and we run industry much
better than we run politics. There
are interesting figures who make
that very clear-fgures about our per
capita production, our per capita dis
tribution of commodities, such as
clothes, automobiles and schools.
