There was nothing precocious In that
cry. It was the unprecedented wailop
OF personality that rebelled against in
juStice--So far as a seeding mind can
measure what is Just. It was the inborn
human mature stuff that strong men
are made of--regardlesS of other quail
ties that will one day decide whether
they will use that strength to dominate
or merely domineer. You may have no.
ticed that famous men do both. And
when. later on. the small boy threatened
to run off and get married II his parents
didn't stop talking about sending him
to kindergarten. there was Sprouting
sense of that other threat against per-
sonal freedom that America voiced way
back In IL and-oh. when they threw
the tea overheard in Boston harbor.
Precocious children give limitations
and recite. They mince up and down

songs. and switching their wisps of
chiffon to reveal callow thigh bones
long before theology gives them the

age TO sin. And after that they are lost
in the shuffle OF everyday life.
It must be true, what the expert says
of the dull men and women who were
once precocious children. since our own
annual crops seem to have harvested
but one Elsie Janis--Still, every rule has
its exception. and there may be others.
But the blue ribbon boy Is not pre-

when you come right down to It, what
does an old maid know about children?
1T is adage doctrine that all things
has proved that the ancient ruling has
its exceptions--like every other law In
life. She was telling about it--like
this:

the membership at 51,156. and the 1925

Opening Markets

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Movements
at the opening of the short session
on the Stock Exchange were narrow
with the trend upward. In early
dealings Wabash Railway Spurted
again today after gaining four
points Friday Several other rails
joined the upward movement, while
special issues accounted fer sharp
advances.
Victor Talking Machine responded
to action of directors in placing the
issue on q 81 annual basis by rising
IL to 64K. Radio was bid up frac-
tionally in heavy turnover, while
International Nickel moved through
wide arc in large transactions. The
stock opened at 70, up "a, and then
dropped to 1914, its previous close.
United States Steel and General
Motors were firm at the opening and
made but small changes in the trad
ing. Packard featured the motor
division, while Vanadium was in de-
mand in the steel group.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
''Traders with short position and
interests hoping for quiet market
were encouraged by the character
of the weekly mercantile reviews.
These surveys expressed disappoint-
ment over the spotty condition of
general business as a whole to re-
spond to improvement in the steel
industry. However, price movements
in the early dealings were governed
by technical conditions and devel-
opments affecting individual stocks. ?"
