Punishment
And Lies
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
In training a child to tell the truth

should sacrifice many things in his
training in order to implant the
habit Of truth. It is better to allow
him to 60 entirely unpublished and
take q chance on his becoming UNI
ruly, selfish, and other equally unde-
sirable things, rather than have him
learn to invent lies to save him.
self.
This is one Of the most difficult
things a parent has to face; when
to punish and when not to punish,
how to train him without his resort
ing to lie to escape punishment or
censure.
When Company Comes
Let us take q case in question.
Jack has been dressed up for the af-
ternoon. It is four o'clock, there
are two hours or so until dinner. His
father likes to see Jack nice and
clean when he comes home. He Of
ten brings company and this is one
Of the nights Mr.. Smith is coming.
Jack sits on the steps holding a
brand new sail boat. Around him
congregates a half dozen neighbor-
hood children who haven't been
dressed up so early.
The rain has made q small pond
in the street; Of course there are all
sorts Of suggestions about the boat!
Jack sits firm and explains the fix
he's in.
well, you could watch and ri It
tend to it," offers Tom. "You won't
get wet. Why, how do you know
whether it will 90 or not when the
wind blows. You can't tell in an old
bath tub"
True! It is Jacks one aching de-
sire to see his boat move when the
wind blows. He hesitates-and
fails.
Over they troop, and an hour later
Jack returns soaked to the skin just
in time to see his father and Mr..
Smith get out Of the car.
II Jack had the kind Of mother
who was sure to whip him, he might
try to get out Of his predicament by
saying, tom grabbed my boat and
ran away with it and l followed and
we ran around the pond and I fell. !
couldn't help it."
Try Talking It Over
But he has the other kind Of
mother-the kind who knows what .
temptation it is to lie. She Is slow
about punishment and talks to Jack
about things instead. As = result
he seldom disobeys.
So Jack says. "Mother, ! look aw-
ful. Here comes Dad and Mr.. Smith
and won't Dad be mad. But ! wanted
to see how my boat would 20. just

It's . funny game - baseball. A

the National league to watch what
seemed certain to be a ding dong
battle until the final bell.
Today the st. Louis Cardinals lead
the older circuit by six and half
games. The Yankees, on the other
hand, have seen thirteen-game lead
crumble away day by day until the
galloping white elephants Of Phil

tall McGillicuddy, are but four and
. half games to the rear Of the

or Convey, Earl Smith, Clarence
Mitchell, and Dutch Reuther
Are Striking Examples Of
Castoffs Who Came Back
TO Enter World Series
Nv BILLY EVANS

Fate plays many queer and un-
usual pranks in baseball. Especially
is this true where a discard one day
may be a hero the next day, and
where player caught in the whirli-
gig of a trade may find himself
travelling from a second division club
to a pennant-winning one.
Take the cases of Earl Smith and
Clarence Mitchell, both veteran Ma
tional leaguers and close to the end
of their playing days.
A few years ago "Oil" Smith was
with the New York Giants. He got
in a pair Of world series, and was
then traded to the much-stepped on
Boston Braves.
He seemed definitely out of any
world series money as long as he
was with the Braves, but another
exchange took him to the Pirates,
and with that club he got into the
1925 and 1927 blue ribbon classics.
Now Smith comes across with an
other fast one in recent weeks. Re-
leased by the Pirates, he grabbed q
job with the st. Louis Cardinals,
leading contender for the pennant.
Hence two trips" are likely to put
Smith into three world series over
a four-season span. Small wonder
it is If Earl is strong for the swap
ping marts or unconditional release
Mitchell Gets Chance
Mitchell's case is very similar to
Smiths. He has been in only one
world series, with Brooklyn in 1920
He started this year with the
Phillies, his fifth with that club, and
had no possible chance to get any
world series dough.
Burt Shotten, rebuilding his club
let the veteran 20. And where die
he go? He Joined the Cards. and
like Smith, may get in on a worlc
series slice this year.
There also is the case of Dutcl
Reuther, now in the Pacific Coas
league. Reuther put in quite a few
seasons with Brooklyn and Cincin
natl, getting into but one world Sc
ries, with the Reds in 1919.
Waived out of the older circuit
Reuther caught on with Washington
and helped the Mats cop their sec
ond flag. About . month before tn,

Harris spent two years with Cleve
