 Hungary's gypsy king, Berch- told Kozce, was also one to con- vey his best wishes to the Fas- ,cist chief, but he did not, lik,, others, content himself with ex- jbfessions of courtesy. He sent the Duce an air which he had composed especially for him to play on his violin.
 s ,Mnssolini acknowledged every message personally, but when the gypsy's turn came the latter was taken ill and had died. The mes- sage was sent back to Rome, but MiiSsolini did not consider his task ended. He wrote a message of cQpdolence to the widow en- closing cheque for $500

FAMILY PARTY SPLIT
 OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE

NEW YORK, June 23.-With a little chuckle Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, Republican national com mittewoman, disposes of the fam fly political differences that make her a hard working Republican and her husband a faithful Demo- crat.
 q think politics is just like religion" she said. Tt is sort of handed down in the family, and is something that is very seldom given up with marriage. All my family has been Repub- lican and it would be just like renouncing my faith to renounce my partisanship. It's just the same way with my husband. De- mocracy has run in his family fer generations"

YOUR CHILD
FavOritiSm
NOCrine
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Often parents will have a decided
fondness for one particular child.
There is nothing unnatural or
reprehensive about this, for after
all, aside from the fllial relationship,
there is, or should be, the relation
ship of friendliness. And just as
we choose a certain favorite from
among our friends because of some
peculiar and Undesirable attrac-
ton, just SO, certain qualities in a
boy or girl may make a particular
appeal to father or mother.
A father with a son who looks
like him, acts like him, and with
the same tastes and habits, will
more than likely be attracted to
that boy. Also a little girl with the
same characteristics and beauty
possessed by her mother may make
a strong appeal to a father.
Often mother will choose a fav-
orite from her children because Of
his need for her. Sickness, weak
ness of character, his penchant for
getting into trouble-any of these
things may be more accountable
for her playing a favorite than a
feeling Of admiration. But not al
ways. A mother may be so proud
of a certain son or daughter that
she unconsciously begins to compare
the others to the prodigy.
What follows if this state of af-
fairs prevails in a home?
Il ,r,,IT L.
to the others. "You wouldn't catch
Sam doing that. Sam would know
what to do" 7 wish you'd learn
some manners from Sam"
Mother will very likely say,
Mabel, go upstairs and get Betty's
book" Betty, dear, would you like
some more pudding?" 81 saw such
a pretty dress today and I thought
of you, Betty" Mabel, wish you'd
try to comb your hair like Betty's."
The other children will soon &C
cept it. They can't take offense
anew day after day. They grow into
it. Mabel will accept Betty's superb
GRITTY and Ed may accept Sans
place in the sun But it is cruel
and unfair to them to make the
preference so apparent. They won't
feel much allegiance to that parent.
The feeling of preference is I'M
avoidable. That is no crime. But
the fault lies in parent allowing
it to be seen, aNd permitting it to
influence his dealing with his other
children.
