TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK
NOIa Nance

NOIa Nance
One of the most difficult problems
in bringing I'D a child deals with
the question of teching him 10 grin
and bear or to fight back.
I have had an opportunity to see
two distict kinds of training carried
out and 1 must confess that neither
was very successful. My brother
was much younger than 1 and, upon
the death of my mother, became
responsible for his upbringing. Inc
hardest decision had to make was
when he came home with the tale
of some childish insult and wanted
to know if Mother had been right
when she told him always to turn
the other cheek. After thinking II
over. I felt that I could not con-
tradict the teaching of so loVaDle
person as my own mother ana LOT
this reason 1 kept telling him never
to fight back with his fists, that the
one who was right would win with
out it in the end. And so Charles
grew up with never a fight to his
discredit-or credit! But one day,
when he was nearly sixteen years
old, I found him hiding behind the
hedge until the town bully had pass
ed by. It always took him twice as
long as it should to go anywhere for
there were certain houses he would
avoid by going around the block.
And he is still going around the
block, so to speak. Even though he
has an unusual talent for a singul-
arly important line Of work, he al
ways has to be under somebody
who is a leader. By no feat Of
imagination could I picture Charles
forging ahead to the position his
ability entities him to hold.
And so when my son was bonr l
made up my mind to use different
method with him. Long before he
started to school told him always
fight back.
And so when my son was born L
that he couldn't settle on the spot,
he would clay" for his victim until
he had an opportunity to attend to
him properly. About hree times a
week he would come home with
black eyes or a bloody nose, dis
guising the triumphant expression
that told me he had another victory
to his credit. He was expelled from
school twice for fighing and was re-
fused entrance into another for the
same reason.
Dan is a grown man now and
though he often intolerant of the
opinions Of others, he is fighting
his way to the top-a more forceful
personality than Charles, though
even know that he has not so
brilliant mind.
In neither case did I find happy
medium. But to mothers who have
the same problem confronting them,
would suggest hat they be guided |
be the individual temperament of |
the child. If he is naturally of a
timid disposition, he must be en-
couraged to stand up for his rights
until he can boast some measure of
courage. If too aggressive, he
should be taught that he greaest
victories are won with wits and not
with fists. Above all things child
rem should be taught never to "pick"
a fight.
However, these things usually
work themselves out better with (
1ut laundering attempts at guiding.
Teach your boy to reason clearly
md to deal fairly, to be habitually {
and considerate of
Dthers, and then when trouble comes
and it will-let him work out his I
'wn problem. O

The strength Of a corporation is
better tested when the smargin of
safety is studied over period of
years TO determine how the COM
pany managed in poor as we'll as in
good years. 1t should be clear that
an enterprise which earns its inter-
est charges by substantial margin
year after year is more desirable
from an investment standpoint than
Milford chronicle., 1927-12-16

margin of safety" Taken year by
year, it is one of the several good
yardsticks by which to measure an
investment. Thus, a corporation, at
ter paying expenses, taxes, insur-
ance, ETC., has 100000 net earnings
left for paying interest on its bonds
and for what other uses it may care
to make Of this surplus from earn
ings. If the bonds Of the corpora
ton require 100000 a year for in
terest payments, the corporation has
earned interest charges five times, a
very satisfactory margin Of safety.
Milford chronicle., 1927-12-16

one which earns its charges by q
narrow margin. Likewise, a stable
margin is more to be desired than a
wide and fiuctuating margin. If the
margin of safety shows a continual
increase over a period Of years, it
is rightly inferred, other things be-
ing equal, that the company's bonds
and stocks are growing safer and
stronger. -

While no rule-of-thumb is appli-
cabzle, it is generally held that to
be safety zones for dollars railroads
should earn their interest charges at
least IL times over a period Of
years, public utilities at least ~
times, and industrials at least 2
times.

for food control of the Mississippi
River has been recommended by the
Mississippi River Commission in a
special report to Maj. Gen. Jadwin,
chief of Army Engineers.
Gen. Jadwin. i'm his flood plan 10
Congress, however. proposed that the
total cost of the project be fixed at
1925, 400. 900.

that the expenditure for flood con-
troll be at a rate of $25 900, 900 the
first year and $40.000.00o annually
after that.
Distribution Of Cost.
In the distribution of cost, the com.
missions recommendations were. in
principle. identical with the sugges-
tons of Gen. Jadwin. holding to the
opinion that some degree of local
financial cooperation was essential.
The commissions engineering recon-
mendations also were essentially the
same as those of the Army engineer
chief, but estimated for the expendi-
ture on 1oodways and spillways
total of S407, 500, 900. almost double
that fixed by Gen. Jadwin.
The recommendation of President
Coolidge to have the Mississippi Val
ley States bear the entire cost and
legal process of taking over the lands
for the proposed fioodways can never
be carried out, Representative Garrett
of Tennessee. the House Democratic
leader, today told the House flood con-
troll committee
Raps Further Burden.
IT do not believe il is the function of
the States TO assume this burden of
creating the rights of way for these
fioodways." he said.
The valley States have reached a
point. he added. where it is impos-
sible for them TO bear any additional
financial expense for flood protection"
Representative Wilson of Louisiana.
minority member of the com
mittee, also declared that the cost OF
the rights of way should not be borne
by the States.

so that the work would not have to
be done at the Nays Lakehurst, n.

Young testified after Assistant Secre-
tary Warner had said that the Navy
had been unable to obtain a bid for
just one of the dirigibles, and that as
Congress had appropriated only money
to start work on one ship, contract
for the two could not be let. The AS
sistsnt Secretary indicated the Good

REPORT NOW READY
May Go to Congress Late To.
day or Tomorrow From
Commissioners.

The District Commissioners today
virtually completed their report to
Congress on the Farmers Market sit
uation and probably will transmit the
document to the Capitol late this aft
ernoon or tomorrow morning.
The cardinal feature of the report is
recommendation for a new location
for the market, which is to be ousted
from its present site either the latter
part Of next month or early i'm Feb
ruary. when work is started on the
Internal Revenue Building.
TwO.Hour Conference.
The Commissioners were closeted
for MORE than two hours putting the
report in final shape for Congress.
This executive session was attended
by Maj. w. E. r.. Covell, senior as
sistant Engineer Commissioner. who
made a special study of the market
problem at the direction of the Com
nissioners. and drew up a report for
their consideration outlining the rela-
tive merits of each of the eight pri.
vately owned sites proposed for the
market.
While the Commissioners have
guarded their recommendation with
utmost secrecy. it has been learned
that they plan to suggest a temporary
location for the market on Govern.
ment-owned property on the Mall un.
til the commission merchants deter.
mine where they are going to locate.
Full Data on Sites.
The Commissioners feel it was said,
that it would be desirable to locate the
permanent farmers market in the
vicinity Of the commission houses, and
for that reason they are inclined to
favor a temporary location until the
commission merchants reach de-
cision.
The report of the Commissioners to
Congress will be accompanied by
briefs, plats, charts and other data
submitted i'm support of the eight pro-
posed privately owned sites.
