Most mothers are good. But many
mothers are too good, that is, they
lean backward, and they do more
harm than good for their children.
For instance, there is the too-in-
dulgent mother. Everything her
child does is right and she cannot
ever bear to reprove him. recall
an incident of the wife of a proml-
nent man who was out walking with
her child. For some offense she
slapped him, and she Immediately
knelt down in the snow and asked his
pardon and promised never to do it
again. Piffle.
1t is all important to the young
human being that he shall learn to
recognize and respect the laws of the
universe, moral as we'll as financial.
This is no pink tea world Sooner or
later he is going to run up against
it.
Unless a mother recognizes these
limitations and teaches her child to
recognize them, she is doing him
harm.

Radio Train Control

ELECTRICITY TAKEN FROM
sun BY A new MACHINE
INVENTOR SAYS 1T WILL FUR
NISH POWER FOR THE
WORLD

Electricity from the sun, new
source of power, may soon be intro
duced to the world if experiments
now being carried out by Edward E.
Cothran, Of California, develop the
way he expects them to.
Cothran has, after patient and tire
less research work for more than
eight years, invented a simple appar-
atus which registers on a standard
galvanometer a minute voltage Of
electricity evolved directly from the
sun.
So enthusiastic is this inventor over
his discovery that he believes it pos
sible to hit upon the secret that has
puzzled scientists ever since the dy-
namo was invented 95 years ago.

cr's eve. What he needs is to get
a good stiff punishment for his sins
but he always appeals to his mother
and is saved from paying for his
crime.
Another kind of mother who
wrongs her son is the one who will
not let him go when he has reached
the age of manhood and chooses a
wife. The mother tries to continue
her hold on him with the result of
making the wife jealous.
One essential element of good
motherhood is to let the Hedging try
his own wings when he is old enough.
A mother should control herself
and should know the inevitable laws
that govern souls. She should be
wise and see that her son obeys them.
1t is to his interest to find them out
soon and to govern his life by them.
She must not prevent him from doing
this.
Very often the devoted mother
sees that her son is patted gently
when he really needs swift kick. In
the end the hearty kick does him
more good than the gentle pat.

which may prove to be one of the out

absurdly simple in its construction
1t consists of an ordinary Weston gal
vanometer, attached to which are two

small piece of arsenopyrites, quartz

Upon the steel and quartz Cothrah
focuses rays from the sun and MIN
ute voltage results. He uses an or
dinary magnifying glass to concen-
trate the rays upon the exact spot OF
the two electrodes-and the galano-
meter registers one-tenth Of a degree

Adhering to Ideals Is No Mistake

drink, smoke or pet-they may love
them in spite of it. Neither does
man love a girl because she doesn't
do these things although he may be
very glad she doesn't. He loves her
because there is somthing kindred in
their natures that strikes spark.
After that, nothing else matters.
One of the mysteries that has never
been solved is why certain girls are
magnets that attract every man they
meet. while other girls, probably just
as charming and good looking in every
way, never have a date. Frankly, l
believe that if girl is attractive to
men, it doesn't make the least bit OF
difference that she will not drink, pet
or smoke. He finds her companion
shin sufficiently interesting and stlm-
ulating. 1t is a said fact, but true
that there are many women VINO
would never be popular with the OPP
posite sex regardless of the concess-
ions they might make, and my advice
TO those girls who do not make
spontaneous hit with men is to stop
wasting their time and their energies
in irving to attract them, and find
some real interest.
The queer thing about it is that as
soon as you reach the point where
YOU are Indifferent to men and don't
care much whether they notice you
or not, they will probably be crazy
about you.
And if you have everything else IN
the world to make you happy, why
anyway? It seems that girls put the
worry so much over the man problem
attentions of men above everything
else on earth, and feel that II they
are not being rushed by some men
be he eer so insignificant-every-
thing else is dust. And that is truly
tragic.
However, if we try, we can hnd
many worthwhile consolation prizes
when we miss getting the thing we
wanted most.

While love and marriage is highly
desirable blessings they need not be
