Not SIRE

z Maybe SO, but I am about con-
kinced that the woman who is a
living example of the last set, and
is devoid of all the first set, does
not get any further in business than
in her social life.
I believe it is Helen woodward
who says in her book CALLED
Through Many Windows" which is
the story of her own business career,
that she left business college all
prirned with these cardinal virtues,
but learned about the first day she
held a job that punctuality and
industry and accuracy and neatness
and speed had very little to do with
anything.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

MARY, we're going to spend the
day with Aunt Edith. Isn't that
fine? You're going to wear your
new blue coat and hat. Aunt Edith
wants to see them"
"But, mother" says little Mary,
'it is raining and I'd like to wear
my rubber rafncoat and take the
little umbrella that matches. II l
60 to Aunt Edith's I'll want to walk
over to grandma's by myself. You
said 1 could next time, And II ]
have to be out in the rain shouldn't
have rain clothes on?"
"Oh, hush, Mary! l get so tired
arguing with you. Do as I say and
wear your blue coat and hat. That's
partly what we're going for. And
about grandma Why are you so
possessed to walk over there by
yourself? It's two blocks and some
thing might happen to you. No, you
can't do that today"
What's wrong with this picture?'
Child's Answer Wise
b I'll tell you. To begin with, when
Mary made a wise and sensible
choice, her mother shipped of a
promising bud of initiative. When
will parents learn how important
and necessary thing this quality Of
initiative is?
Mary was not being disobedient.
She was exercising a child's right to
analyze something for herself and
make a perfectly reasonable and
Justifiable statement to her mother.
Children learn the phrase,
Mother knows best" or Father
knows best" usually with a mental
reservation. Being sensible, reason
able, and not at all stupid little
people, they known that as many
times as not neither mother nor
father actually do know best. In
this case mother didn't. She should
have recognized, TO begin with, a
symptom of initiative when she saw
1t, even so simple a matter as a coat.
And there was the clement of COM
mon sense.
Puppet Breeding
Unquestioning and blind obedi-
ence parent has right to demand
and must demand in fundamental
things, which the child must under
stand and recognize. But without
any right to voice his personality
he becomes a puppet.
Another thing The mother put
fear into Marys mind by auto-sug-
gestion. She was afraid" to let
her cross a street. She should not
nave said so. To caution her about
being careful in crossing a street
would have been different.
Thirds She broke a promise. She
had told Mary ."next time" and
now she was hedging.
Psychologists will tell you the far
reaching results of misstatements or
broken promises by parents to chill
dren.
Is child to get his earliest and
most startling example OF untrutb
equivocation and broken pledges cali
examples Of dishonesty from the
very parent who has told him it is
a sin to lie?
Can we expect him to grow I'D
with hole-proof code of honor and
a set OF principles that won't stretch
upon occasion, when from sheer ini-
tatlon at first, and sense OF iusti-
ncation later, he has followed the
examples Of a parent.

High
Cost Halls
Proposals
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A young Indianapolis woman is
alarmed because her Sweetie does
not pop the question. She wonders
why men are so slow about propos-
ing these days.
There are probably several very
excellent reason, but the major one
undoubtedly is that the gold digger
is rampant in the land.
Not long since the poor but hon
est youth who went accounting
could pluck a handful of flowers
from his mothers back yard and go
to call on his lady love without the
expenditure of a dime. The couple
could pass pleasant evening at
no cost whatever, and when they
got married frequently did so on
nothing but prospects.
Love Rewarded Toll
When this happened. however, the
girl was fully reconciled to love in
a cottage. She did not expect to
start her life with the same luxuries
possessed by her parents after
quarter of century of hard work.
Existence was a simpler thing and
love a fit reward for toll.
Today the boy who contemplates
marriage is up against a much
tougher proposition. For he cannot
court a girl and marry her, too.
If he measures up to her standard
of what a devoted swain should
spend, he can't save enough money
to buy gas range, and on the
other hand, if he accumulates
enough cash to get the license and
take a fortnight's honeymoon, he
can't get the girl because the
chances are that while he has been
beset by this economical streak
somebody else has driven off with
her.
Romance Fettered
Romance, therefore, lurid as it is
pictured in the movies, is in rather
a bad way. 1t does not thrive SO
splendidly on Main Street as it once
did.
Boys can not afford to marry
when they are moved by sweet
young love, primarily because the
girls with whom they are infatuated
have standards too high for their
pocketbooks.
Afterward, when the years have
sped, and the rosy glamor has died
in youthful hearts and all the world
has become cynical and the things
of life are measured only in terms
of money, the lads who have grown
into men are a bit leery of marriage.
The good girl who is not afraid
to be poor with the man she loves
need never fear for proposals.

 EARTHQUAKES
Early Colonial Histories Tell of

Cambridge, Mass. May 6 R-The painstaking records of Colonial New England historianA despite their scant knowledge of seismic forces, enablued Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, Harvard seismologist, to recon struct a history of 300 years of earthquakes which he presented here before the session of the east ern section of the American Seis- mological Society just concluded. From this history he drew the de- duction that New England will con- tinue to feel frequent tremors to the intensity of or in the seis- mic scale.
 Dr. Mather said that he was able to estimate with scientific preci- sion the force of the early quakes from the vivid narratives of those early days. He pointed out that laymen could obtain a much clear CT idea of earthquake effects from these old records than from some reports of modern scientists, brist- ling as they do with technical terms.

al Beasley tells about one time in
the early days here he was in the
woods when he ran across big bear.
He ran for a tree that stood a short
distance off, but the bear followed
him so close that, though he reached
the tree, he couldn't get time to climb
it, so round the tree he sprinted, with
the bear close to his heels. AL says
he fin'ly got to runnin' round that tree
so DANCED fast that he was al seein'

I,some more and fin'ly stepped on the
DANCED bears DANCED tail. The bear
was goin' so hard and fast that its
tail, pinned to the ground like that
was pulled out by its DANCED roots.
The chase continued until the bear,
bleeding from the wound, fin'ly
dropped dead. Al was so exhausted
by the ex-ertion that he fell down
crost the dead bear, an he slept right
there atop of that DANCED bear for
| twenty-four hours without ever once
waking up. A snowstorm come on
while he slept, an there was seven
feet of snow all round him when he
fin'ly woke up. But there was a
DANCED ring round the DANCED tree
where he and the DANCED bear had
been d racin', and the DANCED ground
was so DANCED hot where their DANCED
feet had been a scudding that the
DANCED snow wouldn't lie on it. It
| was nigh on to week afore the snow
/ thawed enough for him to get back to
the loggin camp. All that time he
had been a livin' on the meat of the
