Reason Children
 Destroy Things
It's Not Just to Be Real
 Destructive.
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBElN

Editor Journal Of the American
 Medical Association and of Fly
 seia, the Health Magazine.
 The small child has no sense of values. He is just as likely to throw a piece of Limoges china on the floor as a tin cup. which may be the usual utensil in which he gets his milk.
 He can. as pointed out by Dr. Douglas A. Thom. Spill anything on the linoleum without disturbing the family's ire. Should he. however. make similar deposits of food or staining substances on the oriental rugs. he receives severe punishment.
 To his mind, texture. monetary value, and color are not means Of discriminating in selecting the place in which he is going to spill what ever is available.
 Natural Reactions When the child begins to crawl bout he must help himself by pull ing on anything that is convenient. If it happens to be a table cover held in position by fine piece of sculpture or q Dresden vase, that fact does not disturb him. If he twists the tail of the cat or ] pulls he ears of the dog. he does it not because it will give pain 10 i the animal, but in order 10 feel the | animal squirm and hear it howl. ! The parents are likely 10 say fha; ! the child is especially destructive and impossible to control. whereas 1t | is merely reacting according to natural instincts.
 i If the child is normal mentally, proper explanation of differences 1 in values is likely 10 bring about a 1 gradual diminution of destructive activities.
 If the child has i's own Iaay

The Heart Story
 of a Steadfast Woman
Loves Awakening
By Adele Garrison

even argaret-though tho Lord knows she agrees with you on most Of your crazy ideas about the boy but she was sensible about this, And then you so and tell him he can climb that dangerou. thing. l don't suppose you were even near him when he did it. And you needn't tell me he climbed it with out your permission. That baby doesn't do things like that
 You're right in everything, Mother" Dicky said wearily. "I wasn't near him and did give him permission. I was wrong. but it can't be undone now Lets hope it will be a lesson to tortcd
 Please Madam Graham Kath- erne said with the pretty deferen- tial manner she always uses toward Dicky's difficult mother, please don't sthink Pm a stern nurse, but I'm afraid you're tiring yourself, Won't you lie down again, and let me send these people away? They're disturbing influence. I'll lower the shades and tuck you up and Marion can sit near you if you need anything. I'd like to run up and take a look at Junior' Lillian's young daughter came for ward eagerly She had been stand ing at the side Of the room ever since her return with Mother Gra- ham and Katherine effecing her self, but unobtrusively ready 10 give any service needed of her. How like her mother she was. I thought, as she bent over Dicky's mother, who is extremely fond Of her
 I'm right here Grandma Gra- ham," she said softly. Just tell me what you want me 10 do"
 My mother-in-law smiled up at her from the pillows which kath- crime had lowered again and ar ranged around her.
 You darling child" she said, and ' knew by, her changed voice that having emptied her wrath upon Dicky she would be quiet and tract able for while. ''It's just enough 10 look at your bonnie face. Sit down, and all tthe rest Of you. go up to my baby. warn you I'm coming up myself as soon as I feel little better. whether Mrs. Bickett lets me or not. won't be satisfied that the child's all right until look at him myself and hear him say 'Granzie.'"

will not be likely to damage things elsewhere.
 If, on the other hand. it is per mittel to bring about acts of de- struction and then repeatedly pun ished with punishments that are too severe. it may respond with repeat ed actions in order to gain attention or even as q form of reprisal.
 In such cases the parents must get on point of equality with the child, working the situation out log ically rather than as form of com bat in which one side must con- qner.
 Curiosity
 The child is naturally curious. in terested in things that are new. and likely to want to examine them in- timately and personally. In his ef- forts to inform himself he is likely to pull things apart.
 Parents will do we'll therefore to satisfy the normal interest of the child in these processes by getting for it the type of plaything that will permit both analysis and construc- ton. Many of the building toys now availa ble satisfy this need efficiently

Philosophy of
 Dress IS Needed
Madame Weiss Comments
 on Women's Problem.

Wanted clothes philosophy for every. woman.
 That is what an eminent cou- turier. Madame Sady Weiss, of Bruck Weiss. feels is great Amer. ican need today.
 Until a woman has well.estah- lished idea in her mind of just what clothes she can wear. she is unset- tied, drifting. A clothes philosophy is almost as important Tn a woman's life as a career" Madame Weiss as- serted.
 Tt is not the woman who knows her type and is consistent in eyery- thing she wears whose mind is to- tally occupied with clothes. Rather, it is the woman who has never thought out what she should have, who spends her life worrying about 1 it.
 AS practical woman. l should advise young girls starting out in 1 life to settle their sartorial policy. i It will save time, money and free | the mind for other tasks. And it will give them that well-groomed chic every woman craNes
 "For want of good clothes sense. ! lovers even have been turned away.
 "Why not sit down and study yourself? Then ask the opinion od some expert. Once general philos- ophy is worked out, life is easier, clothes are apt to be less expensive and the woman is at her best, which is reason enough in itself"

Competition Has
 Nerve Reaction
"Temperamental' People
 More Numerous.

(By |. s. Public Health service)
 Washington (P-The hurry, strain and keen competition of mod trn life has added greatly to the toll Of nervous disorders among city dwellers. Neurotic, neurasthenic, "overworked' and temperament tai" individga's appear to be more numerous.
 Seudies Of nervous disorders by the Public Health Service and oth- CT workers have esta blished that individuals are as different in their mental as in their physical resist ance. Some. able to bear the stress. are better fitted for the hur- " and competition of city life than others who might break down un- der the same conditions but could maintain their usefulness in a less cNacting environment.
 As civilization becomes more the public health officials that some way must be found whereby the or dinary person can meet the require ments of successful competition in everyday affairs. In this. as in many ! other problems of health. they feel I that the basis must be laid in the | training of the child 10 understand that different individuals have diff ferent capacities and that it is well to do ones hest at all times, but not we'll to be striving always 10 outstrip the other fellow.
 Few if any children have suffered nervous breakdowns as d result Of their class room work, they declare. but many have fallen victim to the nervous strain of competition and desire to lead and excel. coupled with the realization that they are not attaining their goal. Many young persons thus stimulated be- yond their capacities become intp- spective and melancholy.
 The "ovcrworked' business or professional person and the society women whose nervous break downs are regarded by the investi- gators as owing their condition to similar overtaxing of their abilities For the adult ho finds himself worrying. staying awake and losing his mental control they advise prompt consultation of a psychia' trist or physician skilled in the treatment of nervous diseases be fore an actual mental disorder de velops.

Dicky Feels the Christening Rod of
 Rebuke From His Mother


 Dieky looked like small boy called to account for jam stealing when his mother asked him from which tree Junior had fallen. But there was something else in his look, terrified remorse which made my heart go out to him in sympathy, even though a moment before it had been filled with bitter resentment toward him for his ob- stinacy in permitting Junior to climb thetree which 1 thought too dangerous for the small boy
 One thing, however. I have made d rule of my life. When anyone near to me is responsible through carelessncss or mistaken judgment for illness accident, or disastrous occurrences, l keep my lips tightly closed that no possible words Of re- proach may issue from them. l am not an ''I told you so," woman. It IS my theory that the person re- sponsible for accident or disaster. if not thoroughly callous, is suffering enough without being given words of blame. IT, on the contrary, the offender be coolly indifferent to con- sequences, l would only be wasting breath in uttering reproaches,
 But my mother-in-law holds an entirely opposite theory. To Ter. the person responsible for an acci- dent, if one can be found, must be made to feel the enormity of his actions, and l knew from her mar rowed eyes and frightened lips as she waited for her sons answer that Dicky was in for an exceeding ly uncomfortab ble few minutes.
 Tt was the big apple tree in the orchard. Mother.' Dicky's voice was vibrant with anguished regret, but his mother was relentless
 That one which We all insisted that he mustn't climb" she went on. her voice gaining in strength. and I ceased to worry over her heart attack. Even discountng the effect Of the powerful hypodermic, I decided that sch was in no inn mediate danger of another attack not as long as her temper remained in it's present frayed cindton.
 Dicky nodded, and his mothers eyes flashed with anger.
 Well. I hope you're satisfied she said grimly. Tt isn't as if you hadn't been told time and time again how idiotic you were to think of letting a little chap like that climb that big tree. I've told you over and over myself. Mrs. Bicket has told you what she thought, and

"I'll wait until he gets his head way down. I'll wait til he has that hole finished and has got hold Of the worm," thought Cubby. He will be so taken up with that worm that he won't think Of anything elsc.'
 So Cubty waited until he could see that Longbill had got tthe worm. Then Cubby leapcd forward. There was sharp whirr and whistle and stiff wings brushed his very nose T.ongbill the Woodcock was gone. Gubby looked up to see Longbill disappearing over the tops of the | alders He blinked. He blinked and bimked.
 That fellow acted just as if he knew was going to jump for him and had waited until the very last minute" muttered Cubby. "But how could be have known it with his hack to me-"
 Culby went off 10 sit down and puzzle over that. You see. he didn't know about those handy eyes Of Longbill.

New Britain herald., 1928-06-01

Cubby Bear thought himself smart. He was smart for young ster of his age But it is bad thing for children to think themselves smart. It is a bad thing for people of any age to think themselves smart. Those who do are almost certain 10 come to grief sooner or later. Be smart. but don't think you are smart.
 Now, when Longbill the Wood- cock had shown Cubby Bear his handy bill--his truly wonderful bill he had moved q few steps nearer Cubby. Cubby had noticed this. A thought entered his head. I4~ tough to have been ashamed of that thought, but, being a man, he wasn't. The thought was: How good Longbill would taste. I haven't had a Dit of meat this spring, and want some"
 Now. of course, it seems very dreadful that Cubby should have had any such thoughts regarding one of his n.iEhbors. but really it isn't as dreadful as it sounds. You see that is the way the little peopl" Of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows live. And, in q way. it isn't so bad. The small,r ones know that they have got to be smart enough 10 keep out Of reach Of the larger ones. They know that if they are not smart enough, they do not, deserve to live.
 Cubby bear continued 10 watch Iongbill bore holes in the earth and get worms. Watching Longbll en- toying such a good meal made Cubby more and more hungry. The hunerier he got the more he thought about trying to catch Longbil. Tt ought to be oasy,' said Cubby 10 himself. "All I need do is wait until he gets his head down close to the ground. When he has bored q hole. his face almost touches the ground. lie can't s"" me then. That is the time 10 rush him"
 So Cubby began 10 try 10 get a little nearer 10 Longhul Every time that CUbby would take step or two nearer. He wouldn't appear 70 be watching toH2hll Sometime, he would be looking another way altogether as he took q step for ward.
 Now, Lonebill is quit. as smart a. Cubby Bear All the time that Cubby thought that Lorebll didn'' know what he was doing. Longbil was chuckling 10 himself
 That silly little Bear thinks he', fooiiny me" thought Ionrbill. "H, thinks l can't sec him when m, head Is down He doesn't know about these handy eyes Of mine He doesn't realize that Mother Na turo placed them near inc top o my head for just sue Ii q purpose a this. can see all that is going or around me. even when my head | down in the ground quite as vel as when fl isn't That silly littl Bear Is going to fry 10 catch me Yes, sir. that is just what he's 20 ing to fry 10 do.

 So. Longbill let Cubby get nearo and nearer.
