What kind Of stories do Won tell
your children? Stories Of GOOD little

phans? ~
There was time, not 50 long AGO.
that psychologists preached the doc.
trine OF namby-pamby-ism to par
ents in regard to this business of
story telling. The story with the
thrill was taboo, particularly II i
contained the word wicked" or
dealt with witches, dwarfs, or tr.ils
Of distorted visage and ill-intentioned
mind. Now we have learned differ
emily.
Here shall make one permanent
and irrevOcAble exception to the fol-
lowing paragraphs, and then 70 on
with the story. No child under four
should be told an alarming tale or
an unhappy one. He should not even
ie told an exciting one, especially at
night.
After Four, we shall see!
At about this time his imagination
begins to run away with him. He
imagines that he is everything un.
der the sun from an airplane Ia a
turtle. His little dream world is IA
real to him As his real world and at
this time he begins to feel q real
hunger for stories.
He is very impressionable. He
absorbs little sermons and becomes
thoughtful about the difference be-
tween good and bad. How can he
learn about good overcoming evil
unless there is an occasional evil
factor in the stories he hears? There
must be an obstacle to overcome.
There is . world Of meaning in the
good fairy who overcomes the wicked
witch, or the kind tailor who breaks
the spell Of q wicked dwarf BY divid-
ing his last morsel Of bread with q
beggar.
How can Tom show his courage
unless there is a terrible pirate to
fight? Or Jack give an example Of
bravery without his giant?
Now there are stories such A
Hansel and Gretel, in which q wicked
witch holds Hansel in q cage to fat
ten him for eating and ending by
Gretel pushing the old girl herself
into the oven she had prepared.
These stories should be burned. Also
q story like "Rumpelstiltskin," the
dwarf who stole the baby out Of the
poor queens bed, and 1.-THE Rose
Tree, depicting a flower-pot in
which . young mans head had been
buried. All these and their ilk should
be cut out of mothers repertoire.

Make Summer a
Playtime for the
Family
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Too often the turmoil and noise
and heat, the disorder and unattrac-

children nervous, unhappy and ill.
For children, in spite Of the opinion
Of their elders to the contrary. are
just as susceptible to ugliness of sur

There is such a thing as making
work a game, or at least part Of it.
And why not let the children have
hand in the game? Why not make
the house and yard a sort of "pre-
tend" place?
Vacation is really the only time
OF year you have your children at
home unless they are under six.
Why sweep carpets and wash cur

things like that when the magic

NATI0NALISTS
Marshal Chang Tsung Chang
Forced to Concentrate
Forces at Tianfu

Shanghai, China. April 19.-R-
Destruction Of . northern army Of
10000 men in unusually fierce fight
ing during the past few days near
Yenchowfu, Southern Shantung, is
reported in dispatches from Peking.
An advance made by Feng Yu-
Hsiang, once known as the Christian
General and now allied with the
nationalists, has completely frus-
trated an offensive launched by the
Northern General Sun Chuan- Fang,
governor Of Shantung.
The result Of this battle was the
destruction Of Suns army Of 10000
men and the occupation Of Tsining
Just southwest Of Yenchowfu BY
feng Yu-Hsiang. The debacle
forced Marshal Chang Tsung Chang,
chief northern general now in the
field, to fall back on Yenchowfu
and ultimately to seek to concen.
trate his forces at Tianfu 40 miles
south Of Tsinan.
Feng Yu-Hsiang meanwhile Is ad-
vancing north along both banks Of
the Yellow river and the northern
troops have evacuated Changte He
and Tamingfu.
An example Of the ferocity with
which the struggle has been con-
Quoted ever since the Nationalist
opened the spring drive on the
Northern Capital, reliable foreign
sources state that Chang Kai-Shek
has lost 10000 men, $500 Of whom
were killed, including one general
and three colonels. in SO hours OF
fighting which ended in the capture
Of Lincheno.

Sofia, Bulgaria, April 19.-(AP)
Southeastern Bulgaria was panic
stricken today after q series Of
earthquakes which have been shak-
ing the region since Saturday. It
was feared that the quake which
struck Sofia, Philippopolis, and the
entire area between Sofia and
Tchirpan was more disastrous than
that Of Saturday, which resulted in
Is deaths.
At Philippopolis q number Of
large buildings collapsed. Fires
ragged in various parts Of the city.
Those inhabitants whose homes had
been left standing feared to reenter
them lest additional shocks bring
the walls tumbling about their
heads. Panic stricken, they re-
mained out Of doors.
The earthquake, damaging the
electric works, plunged the city into
darkness and this added to the ter
ror Of the inhabitants.
Three distinct shocks were felt at
Sofia. The people, in fear, immedi-
ately left their homes and most Of
them spent the night IN the streets.
Brief sdvices from Belgrade, Jugo.
slavia, and Bucharest, Rumapia, said
that the tremors were also 3elt there
and caused alarm.
Advices from Hanskovo said thsre
was considerable damage there, but
details were lacking.

since Saturday and personally visit
