Why Men Are Henpecked.

People have wasted a lot OF sympathy
on the poor henpecked husband. Being
henpecked Is regarded as . great
calamity. No man Is henpecked with
out just cause. The stronger person.
ality usually dominates In every rela-
tionship. a political party, ball team
or In the marriage relationship. Usu-
ally the man Is more aggressive and
dominates. Not always, for sometimes
the wife proves the stronger.
In any relationship the dominating
personality gets authority by virtue of
some superiority whether real or fancied.
This principle applied to the henpecked
husband reveals the fact that the wife
has the balance of power. She usually
secures 1t through having better edu-
cation. being older in years. hav-
ing more money, or being otherwise
favored
II man Is out OF work and his wife
takes In washing to support him he Is
not usually inclined to be very self
aasertive. Power and prestige, no mat
ter how attained, are the source OF
influence over others. When they fall
into the hands Of a wife the husband
Is in for henpeckLng. especially II he
lacks personal qualities OF self assertion,
The reason, then, why some men are
henpecked IL because they cannot help
Themselves. The fact that they are
henpecked shows that they lack initi-
ative and are fearful OF assuming re-
sponaihility. Hence they are very happy

Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Spells Of Temper.
Mrs. M. l.. c. writes:

Mrs. M. l.. c, writes
My baby girl, OF 10 months. shows a
very bad temper when displeased over
anything; slaps at me. kicks and throws
her arms about. when she must be
prevented from doing anything. shall
use the spanking methodP I try coax
ing her, but In vain. A few times
have spanked her, but she only screams
the louder. She is very bright: joins
two or three words together into sem
tences. / dislike to punish her, and
your suggestions would be appreciated" ?"
Answer.
These are difficult problems. because
there is no one answer to be made.
Something is very wrong when a child
might kick IL his arms or legs were
forcibly held. Children who are
slapped, slap back: so that the first
thing one must do is to 60 away from
the child who slaps and ignore him.
Naturally, one must stop Slapping him
II this method has been used to try
and force him into any line Of conduct.
We try TO teach o child that there are
certain things which he cannot do be-
cause they are harmful to himself or
harmful to his surroundings We don't
do this all at once, but gradually build
up this knowledge We are aiming to
make him a self-reliant individual: a
reasoning, thinking one, and TO do this
we do not slap and spank him, because
that makes him more irritable and
stubborn, or else 1t makes him little
auton1aton which moves when We pull
the strings No one wants Q child like
this.
! am unalterably against whipping or
spanking or slapptng II does not work.
II child handles what does not be-
long to him, 1t should be taken from
him and something of his own given
in place Of 1t. II the child is stu
curious, let him handle the object until
he hands 1t back willingly. Don't ask
a child to do things and then wait until
he refuses. Say, "Now we are going to
have hands washed" and away you 10
without any regard to his resistance.
Distract his attention. Don't hold him
tightly as II in wise; children resent
that from babyhood. Give the child a
chance TO do some Of the washing him
self. These are two isolated instances.
The subject Is too big for much discus
sion. Specific cases are better than
just what shall one do?" because what
one does In each case differs as do the
cases. Remember. obedience Is not at
tained. by spanking a child.

Purse Pilfering.

Many children take money from their
mothers purses when they get the
chance. ! believe they ought not to get
the chance. believe 1t Is the grown-up's
attitude toward money that sets the
notion that it Is all right to take pennies
from mothers purse. orown-ups are
careless about change" We ought not
to be.
Children know nothing about money
They know nothing about the labor
that provides 1t. They know nothing OF
the obligations 1t Is intended TO meet
They have no idea of its value In terms
OF living. All this they must learn by
experience. Watching US Is the first
and the surest way of learning
II we 60 marketing and return with
some change In our purses, instead Of
sitting down ut the table and checking
up the expenditure In our account
books, balancing the account. counting
the money left In the purse meticulous-
ly. We Just toss the bag into the hrst
handy drawer and forget whether We
had $l.27 or 81 cents left. we are court
ing trouble with the children.
Money means way OF getting
goodies. It. is way OF getting pleasure
movies. shows and the like. Mother
doesn't know how much money she has.
She doesn't care about a little change;
anyway. So very quietly. without any
embarrassing onl00kers, the child takes
a few pennies and goes on his way.
believe that II we take graver atti-
tude toward money the child will reflect
1.-THE usual child will reflect it. Only
the extraordinary one will not catch
the attitude. He falls outside this story
and is to be handled differently. The
usual healthy minded child will follow
his mothers attitude.
Keep an account book. Enter in 1t
every cent you handle and every cent
that Is spent and saved. Know every
night where every penny went. When
a purchase for child Is to be made,
talk 1t over with him. Begin when they
are buying their first toys. and continue
on until they have gained the power 10
earn their own money, care for 1t,
spend 1t.
Begin early to make the children con-
scious Of he meaning of the money that
Is In your purse. Teach them how 1t
gets there. As soon aS possible tell them

that during the first six months,
