toddlers, Elliston explained. "Prac-
tically everything she did with them
had quieting influence. OF course
reading to them and telling them
stories naturally would have that
effect, but she made up games that
gave them something to do quietly.
zone of the games she called
"The Mousse" AS the boys grew
older they changed it somewhat and
renamed it "The Spy" 1t involved
going from one part of the room to
another opening and closing doors
and picking up and putting down
articles, without making a noise. If
the one blindfolded could tell where
you were and what you were doing,
you had to be blindfolded in his
stead.
Another game was called
! Secrets" In this game the child
went into the kitchen and, without
whispering, told his mother three
things he would like for dinner.
The door into the next room was
closed and the brothers listened
from that side to hear what was
said. If they could tell what was
said and either of those articles ap-
peared for dinner, then the boy who
/ spoke so loudly received only one
spoonful of the favorite dish I'm
consciously the children learned to
speak softly.
"Still another game was called
Swords Point. Each piece of
furniture was the point of the sword
and the aim of the game was to
walk all around the room without
getting 80 much as a scratch" The
boys liked to put the chairs close
together and pass safely between
them. Thus they learned to balance
themselves and watch out for the
furniture.
"These games delighted me when
I visited in the home and it was
not until was fully grown that 1
suspected why Aunt Rebecca had
invented them. She did not prohibit
noisy games, but required the boys
to play them in the yard or in the
barn loft which was given over en-
tirely to them
PLAY the game"-that means
truthfulness, courage, Spartan en-
durance, self-control, self-respect,
scorn of luxury, consideration one
for another's opinions and rights,
courtesy, and, above all, fairness.
These are the fruits of the spirit of
craftsmanship and in them lies the
best hope of social well-being."
John H. Finley.

Mr.. Loree's plan for fifth trunk line
was definitely discarded at conference

but an agreement acceptable to him was
consummated at a second meeting.
He had left the conference at noon
without Wanting to join the others at

that later meeting was held. with Otto
H. Kahn, member of Kuhn, Loeb g.
Co, acting as arbitrator At this meet
ing. Mr.. Loree was promised an outlet
10 the West for his line and he then
agreed TO the merger plans.
This settlement makes possible the in
tegration of roads worth between $5.-

Grating over $4,000 miles Of lines.
Many Details Remain.
Consummation of the merger is not
expected to take place for several
