When Emotion Runs High.

The headlines for day reflect the
sway OF high-powered emotions. At the
moment three exciting situations occu-
py the front page. A profound wave OF
sympathy and concern is felt for the
or,cers and crew imprisoned at the bot
tom OF the sea. with thrilling reports of
tnelr attempt to communicate with
tnose coming to their rescue. Here is
tense drama, The news that fresh air
may reach them is exciting. Through
the courage of the divers we have the
chance that the men may still be alive.
and kept alive until the powerful der
ricks are installed to their rescue from
a new form Of shipwreck What a
thrill Of Joy should the hope be realized
Yet we are prepared to hope in vain.
Here Is human sympathy on vast
scale shared by nation. and the more
intensely because it applies to men in
the service Of their country. Here Is
no private enterprise. but one of the
accidents OF the service OF the seas.
From coast to coast the wave OF
human emotion extends. From the At
lantic to the Pacific, We are one as
We share emotion. From California
comes story that arouses to the depth
OF Indignation all the intensity OF hui
man anger and the fierce desire for
prompt and telling revenge. With q
cruelty that many believe could hardly
be exercised by any human being in

crime. in order to attempt to satisfy
the popular demand for some express

in its terror to the safety Of every home
Equally in the service of anxious
sympathy and of outraged feeling are
the devices OF modern science: for
science is enlisted In humane service
as well as in destruction. The radio
and distance photography and flying

service. BY the same ingenuity the

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

Experience teaches me this: II every
time the finger rises TO the mouth there
is a check upon 1t that draws the con-
scious mind of the child to function.
the finger is taken away. II the check
is almost constant. II every time the
child begins to nibble something hap
pens to make him know he is doing
so. the idea OF not nibbling will be reg
istered and the finger will be with
drawn every time 1t Is lifted. In time
long time.
We work to establish that habit. We
keep the nails perfectly clean because
any sand will trouble the finger and
send 1t TO seek comfort. All ragged
ness. all roughness of any kind must
be smoothed away and the nails kept
polished. Polished nails are unpleasant
TO the teeth and serve as one OF the
checks.
We explain to the older children that
there is an intelligence in the finger
ends and II the nails are bitten down
this intelligence is blunted, the fingers
lose their beauty and their power. The
delicate sense that lies in the finger
ends lends a certain high quality TO
whatever passes through them TO the
mind. No child can afford TO lose q
grain of that power. that beauty.
Examine the nails three times q
day-before each meal Suggest ct bed
time, as the child falls asleep, You
viii keep your fingers out OF your
mouth" Inspire the child TO want TO
keep them in good shape. Once he
wants 70. your work Is finished. We
have TO teach and teach and teach. In
order 10 establish the idea OF not Bit
ing. The rare old habit OF seeking
comfort through the mouth will always
be there. That Is why this task Is so
difficult.
