Child Training That
Has Harmful Effects

Too much or too little affection
Of parents is equally harmful and
both spoil character. The train
ing that produces docile obedience
spells the child's native aggressive
ness and leaves him to be easily
beaten in later competitions of life
by minds superior only in their in
ner preparation. The authority of
a parent is a responsibility rather
than a privilege.
Another risk assumed by par
ents, which is not so commonly
understood, is that Of hurting their
children by affection. With human
beings the love attitude may per-
sist in such way that the child
never actually natures and comes
TO have fully developed self-life,
or indulgence heaped upon the
child by the parent may spoil the
zest of life and keep the child emo
tionally infantile. He may be-
come fixed upon the parent so
that he is essentially parasitic in
his inner emotional cravings and
cannot maintain normal relation

dead, the Kings" body has not

lief that Purnell will arise, it is
against the colony teachings to
touch the dead.
1t was Purnell's teaching that he
had been chosen to lead IA, 900 OF
t1e elect to everlasting life on
earth.
By his death Purnell, who
successfully fought the law with
Dewhirst's aid in various civil
actions, defeated it iii two criminal
actions. The latter were soon to
have been brought to hearings, with
two young women, former members
of his colony, as the complaining
witnesses. Only few weeks ago
Purnelps colony had been ordered
into receivership by Judge Louis H.

Famous Brigade That
Served "Lost Cause

Two reasons are given for the
naming Of the Orphan brigade OF
the Confederate army. Kentucky
tried to be neutral when the Civil
war broke out, but neutrality was
violated and many Kentuckians de-
cided to fight for the South. The
famous Camp Boone was formed
near the Kentucky line, few
miles north of GAINESVILLE, Tenn.
Fifty companies from 81 counties
in Kentucky enlisted. These COM
posed the largest part Of the First
Kentucky, better known as the Or
phan brigade.
One of the reasons why this COM
mand was called the Orphan
brigade was because so many
commanders were lost, either by
reason of promotion or by death on
the battlefield, says a contributor
to the Pathfinder Magazine. An
other is that the members were
away from Kentucky during nearly
all the time of their service, and
so cut off from communication with
friends and family.

TELEPHONE WIRES AID
WIRELESS TELEPHONE
Telephone Circuits Serve as
Nerves for Radio in Man,
moth National Hook-ups.

New Jersey is one of the leading,
il not the foremost, radio broad
casting states of the union. Several
of the largest stations in the East
have their studios in Manhattan,
and their actual transmitting plants
on New Jersey soil, and New Jer-
sey telephone circuits connect the
two.
They also enable the radio to
pick up anything anywhere that
microphone and a telephone line
are available or can be made avail
able.
New Jersey has the key station
of two of the largest radio chains.
WIZ with it's transmitting station
at Bound Brook is National Broad
casting Company's blue" chain
and WOR, whose broadcasting ap-
paratus is located at Kearny, is
the key station of the new Column
bia chain. This means that New
Jerseys telephone lines form the
central webs in the telephone net
work which serves to link up the
many stations of these two chains
and other hook-ups.
Telephone lines carry the strains
of the nations most famed bands
and orchestras and the voices of

tanners. They are at the ringside
of all the big championship bouts.

Meal Time in China

The Chinese consider the stom-
ach the source of intellectual life,
and therefore the latest man goes
for the wisest one. They affect
to believe that foreigners come to
China to eat because they have not
enough to eat at home. 1t is con-
sidered a mark of refined polite
ness to treat a guest or a visitor
to meal at any time of the day.
For the most part, only those who
have families take their meals at
home; the rest eat at hotels. They
usually have two substantial meals
a day-one an hour after getting
up in the morning, the other be-
tween three and four o'clock in the
afternoon. The well-to-do class
take three or four meals a day.
Often the father alone eats meat,
while the rest of the family have
to be satisfied with rice.

Although silent in death, that
overlook him last Friday and be-
came known only yesterday, the
spirit of Benjamin Purnell, self
styled Seventh Messenger and King
of the House of David colony, Ben
ton Harbor, Mich, still rules the
faithful of the cult.
All that is mortal of the man
who taught his followers that he
was immortal rests on an iron cot
in his chambers in Shiloh, the ad-
ministration building of the House
Of David, but the faithful still be-
lieve in Purnell's teachings and
await the rising from the dead,
which they assert will take place
before the fourth day of his demise.
So firm were they in their con-
viction that though Purnells tenn
poral rule had ended he would rise
from the dead, they pleaded with
health officials to leave his body
untouched for at least another
twertv-four hours.

Huntley Aides
Answer Charge
Plead Not Guilty To Indict
ment of Conspiracy At
Mays Landing
FLANAGAN SENTENCED

Another chapter in the recent
crusade against alleged vice and
crime in Atlantic City was written
in Special Sessions Court at Mays
Landing, when Frank Crawford
and William Thompson, of Ventnor,
entered pleas of innocence to an
Indictment charging them jointly
with Edward d. Huntley, vice
crusader, of conspiracy to injure
the regulations of Eonch L. John
son, Republican organization leader,
and Charles I. Lafferty, Democratic
chief of Atlantic county.
Huntley had pleaded innocent to
the Indictment over two months
ago
William ]. Flanagan, former
Atlantic City policeman, who had
been one of the investigators for
the Municipal Research League,
working along with Huntley, was
tried, just before Crawford and
Thompson made their pleas, on
charge of deserving his wife and
five children, aged 4. 6. 8, II and12
years.
Flanagan had disappeared just
when the crusade was at its highest
point, and was said to have sent
word back that his life has been
threatened by the underworld"
The jury found him guilty in a
few minutes. He was given one
year in Jail, with the assurance
that he would be compelled to sup
port his family when he got out.

ed by some business reverses, re-
turned home and sought to evict
him. He demonstrated and there
were words. 1t ended by Prigent
being beaten with a heavy blunt
object resembling blackjack and
being pushed out of the back door.
Trooper Camp, who arrested Giroud,
declared that the battered man had
evidently spent the night in the
brush surrounding the Giroud home
being too dazed to know where he
was.

$4,000 Expected to See
Pitt and Carnegie Tech

A crowd of more than so, 900 Is
expected to be in attendance at the
Pitt Stadium next Saturday when
Carnegie Tech and the University
of Pittsburgh clash on the gridiron.
This will be the fifth meeting be-
tween these rivals since athletic
relations were resumed in 1923 after
a break of several years.
In the four meetings since then
Carnegie has managed to down the
Partners three times. In 1923 the
Tartans won, to 2, and in the
following year repeated with a 6-to-0
victory. In 1925 Pitt finally broke
through with a 12-to.0 victory, but
last year. Tech again finished on
top, this time by a score of II to 0.
Both teams are pointing for this
struggle. each holding this as one
of its major contests OF the year.
The Tartans may be forced to enter
the fray minus Paul Cooper, a
powerful tackle, who is suffering
from wrenched shoulder. but at
all other points they expect to be
able to put their fun strength on
the field. The teams will take the
field with Pitt holding an advantage
of weight in the back field but with
Tech offsetting this by showing the
heavier line.
