Guiding Your
81 Child ID
SI,NSlTIVENI;SS
by Mrs, Agnes Lyme

Parents. just because they are
parents, assume that they know what
goes on behind the little masks OF
children's faces AS often as not they
are quite wrong.
Helen's mother often used 10 say
to her: What ! say makes no differ
ence to you. You don't care what ]
think. You pay no attention to my
disapproral. | don't know how
ever came to have such callous
daughter" In the family circle Helen
was treated with the heavy hand
suitable to those who are thick
skinned.
What. as matter of fact, really
lay behind her sullen, Indifferent
manner? Helen's own story. told TO
the psychiatrisi. was one OF loneli-
ness, OF lack OF love, of long, lniser-
able nights when the pillow was
soaked with tears. She was suleIi
because she was unhappy. and in
different in manner because her
mothers words wounded her more

unsyinpathetic world.
When Carl. having previously ad-
nonlshcG to be careful. knocked over
Il costly lamp in careless play, he
showed neither grief nor conlrilon.
His mothers anger rushed over him
and apparently left him untouched.
Not until the next day when, in rep
aration, he brought her his penny
bank with all his worldly wealth
clinking therin, did she realize that
| true distress over ones msleeds
is not always IA matter of profuse
o1ds aud signs OF sorrow.
Apparent callousness and indiffer-
ence are often but the disguise of
extreme sensitiveness Little children
are not articulate and they are not
all alike. When one child bursts in
10 tears. another Withdraws into
frozen silence. Wher. one meets mis-
mother with quick promises never
to do il again, another, who feels his
guilt as keenly, will counter with de-
fIance. n

Tense Excitement
Marion's appeal to me for permits
sion to drive with Ronald to see the
sunrise on the ocean brought to a
decision a debate which had been
going on in my mind ever since
Mary had suggested the trip.
''Shall l interfere?' l had asked
myself, knowing that l must not
waken Lillian. and that ! stood in
her place. Would she have assented
to the plan if she had been the re-
cipient of Marion's appeal instead of
me?
There was one thing certain. She
would not question my decision. no
matter what her own might have
been. and both nay heart and my
brain urged me to give assent to the
plan. The drive down to the beach
would be short and perfectly safe
one Ronald was a clean-cut, and as
chivalrOus a youth as one would
want to see-I hoped my own boy
would grow up into the same sort Of
chap-and Marion, who never before
with any boy was entitled-I told
niyself-to this first heady draught
OF masculine admiration which is
every young girls birthright, but
which too many of them never re-
ceive.
So ! stiffened the lingering fear
that Lillian might secretly disap-
prove my plan, and spoke cordially:
''Of course you may go, dear. but
you must wear your heavy coat"
Marlon's thanks and her promise
to Hrap up were drowned by
Konald's exuberant expressions OF
gratitude. He was like small boy
receiving coveted toy. I though,
induigently as he seized my hands
and began to thank me extrava-
gantly.
In take ever so good care Of
her, Mrs. Graham" he said, and !
smiled indulgently at him as I i'm
agine women of all ages will do all
his life.
I'm sure you will, Ronald" told
him, but all you young people must
go TO bed at once or you'll never be
able to awaken in the morning."
I'm asleep now" Carolyn de-
clared, rubbing her brown eyes, ana
another minute saw her, with
Marion, on their way to the room
they previously had agreed to share.

had been sure that that Bear would
return for another pig. The other
nights had been moonlit. He could
have seen nicely for shooting had
Buster appeared then. But this night
Buster was merely little bit of
deeper blackness in the general
blackness. 1t was a wonder he had
hit Buster at all.

The next story: Buster Grows
Crafty"
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-12-01

Buster Bear knew that that pig
he had stolen had belonged to one
of those two-legged creatures, who
were the only creatures he feared.
So, having successfully stolen the
pig and eaten it, Buster should have
taken himself off. This he had
started to do, but his memory OF
that delicious feast quite oversamc
his common sense. So instead OF
travelling away for good. he had
gone a little distance, then turned
around and started back His excuse
to himself was that he had had such
a good bed under certain Windfail
that he wanted to go back there for
another nap.
It was two days after Thanksgiv-
ing before Buster Bear became real
hungry again. During that time u
wasn't SO hard to keep away from
the pigpen on that little farm on
the back side of the Great Mouii-
tain. There was always the tempta-
ton to try for another pig. but UNI
til he became really hungry again
it was mparatively easy not TO
yield to that temptation.
1t was. however, a very different
matter when there Was no longer
food II, bie stomach and when he
was conscious every minute or lhe
time that he was hungry. Then nc

Meal times must not he fastened
In this regard breakfast is the worst
of all the meals. since children tend
to sleep late and gulp their break
fast in order that they may get to
school on time.
Many schools which have regu-
lar nine o'clock hour estab lish occa-
sionally one day in which the begin
ming of school is advanced for one
hour. Here the tendency is again to
hasten the breakfast on that day,
and thus TO interfere with the regu-
lar eating habits of the child.
IT the child is properly fed at meal
times there is little reason for feed
ing between meals Indeed. few
others really know whether or not
children eat between meals and how
much they eat at\ such times. The
mother should have ii record of snch
feeding in order that she may guide
the diet properly and understand the
occasional loss of appetite at dinner

10000 persons would witness the
encounters.
Protests that threatened to mar
the championship aspect Of today's
games were cleared away, for the
time being at least, when inter

Promoter Tex Becerril has dished
up another pugilistic morsel for
fans to nibble and chomp at the TT.

Tuesday.
Continuing his practice of select
ing local fighters who have per-
Ri has lined up Homer Goodman.
Johnny Martinez. Littz, Guerra, Mar
roquin, Lupe. Zavala and Hinojosa
among others for the card.
Most Of the above are not the sea
soned, sophisticated. ultra-profes-
sionsl fighter who has no interest
in the crowd. but arc earnest lads
who have their own pride to defend
as we'll what money they get out Of
the bouts.
Goodman has a strong backing her
and his name alone would bring
out a fair-sized fight crowd. Homer
has a style Of his own. that IN not
extremely spectacular obtains re-
suits and has a way Of catching the
popular fancy. Goodman's opposi-
ton will be Red Turner. Turner
has been trying to get a bout with
Goodman for some time. He feels
that Goodman has been avoiding
, him, but Homer says otherwise. and
to prove his contention agreed to the
bout Tuesday.
Turner's failing dukes have caus-
ed an epidemic Of black eyes bruis-
es and PROSTATE boxers around Fort
Clark recently. This pair is sched-
uled to 60 ten rounds.
Johnny Martinez who put up such
a game fight on the last card against
Goodman despite conceding consid-
cradle weight, Is again billed, this
time with Young" Parker. Little
is known Of Parker's abilities, but
if he beats Martinez he will be a
fixture as a favorite. This may 20
six rounds.
A second 6-round battle that has
all the appearance Of a natural" is
the n between Littz and Guerra
Of San Benito. Guerra. a San Be
nito boy. has won all his fights here,
d~isposing of Zepeda and Pat O'Mal-
ley easily. O'Malley was sent for a

third round on the last card.
Littz has ample punch i'm either
hand to put Guerra in the Land OF
Nod. He is expectvc TO have the San
Benito boy jumping UP and down
rooster-fashion like (his speciality
when he gets fighting mad) before
their six-rounds have become his
tory.
Marroquin, the San Benito baker
boy and Valley counterpart Of Risko,
will attempt to prove that his deci-
sion over Kid Pepper Of Fort Brown
was no fluke. Pepper believes he
can best Marroquin. but at any rate
says he will be in much better con-
dition and when he gets through
"therem be no regrets"
Kid Lupe and Zavala, two agrres-
sive little lads. will furnish four
rounds Of entertainment in the first
bout.
