Are, Your Cares So Great?
BY Lucy Lowell

Our little cares, our heartaches
and disappointments and despairs--
emotions and circumstances and
events which look so great and
important to us-I wonder il we
could not get around and outside
or them at times by considering
how inc0nsequent they are in pro-
portion to life az a whole.
A sense of proportion is the es.
sentiaI thing;a conception of the
vastness of time into which have
slipped and passed away and all
but been forgotten the heads and
hearts which moved the world in
their day.
Gilbert Hubbard wrote:

When your employer tells you
that your work Of yesterday was
very good and that he has high
hopes for You ON the new job
today, you spruce up and try
extra hard to confirm his faith
in you, don't you? Children are
but tiny grown folk and, OF course,
react 10 what Is expected Of them
III the same manner.
The puzzle 10 me is why many
parents live IN continuous sense
OF fear that their children are
about to nlisbehave or do some
thing which they have been told
not co do.
When we tell b child he is to do
thus or 30, then express fear in
our looks or tones that he will
disobey us the moment we turn
our backs, we acknowledge to him
then and there that we are UNI
certain OF our own discipline and
also uncertain OF his integrity.
Children. like ourselves, will do
just what we sincerely expect
them to do, whether Il be good
or bad. SO let's expect the best.
The power Of suggestion II such
q potent one, and 50 many Of us
suggest inadvertently some activity

until we thrust 1t into his con-

 Whitehorse Team

a 4 --f 4a.- 2
 For the third straight. time, rain Sunday upset the City League baseball schedule and forced all four teams to remain idle. At mid-afternoon today continued rainfall made the outlook for any game tonight very poor.
 Three games have now been postponed since opening day, May 13. An effort will be made to clean up as many of these as pos sible if the weather clears up th.s week. Owing to the annual White horse excursion for Victoria Day over the coming weekend, no games are on the regular schedule for next Sunday and, as many players and fans expect to make the, trip it will not be possible to play off any postponed games on that day.
 President c. E. Naghel, of the City League, announced today a meeting of the league manage inert will be held tonight to dis cuss the Whitehorse trip and se- feet players who will represent Juneau in the annual tournament there. Teams from Juneau, Skag way, Haines and Whitehorse will enter the series.

 Shantung, maritime province of northeast China, where hostilitics between the Japanese and Chi lnese Nationalist troops are in progress, takes on added impor- tance in the present conflict be- cause for years Japan has claimed special interests there.

Shantung was of particular in ternational interest in the world war Tsingtao and the territory of Kiaochow. on the Shantuns peninsula, were leased by Ger many in 1898, and soon afterwards became protectorate. It com prised an area of 200 square miles. In the world war Japan, allied with Great Britain. ordered Germany out of this territory, and failing compliance, declared war on Germany and captured Kiao. chow. in November, 1914. 4
 E The understanding was that 1t should be returned to China, but the. treaty of Versailles confirmed Japan's possession of Kiaochow, and the Chinese representatives at the peace conference refused to,, sign the treaty. This started an intense anti,Chinese boycott against Japan throughout China.
