IT'S hard for kids like us to find
A place to see at baseball games,
Or anything of any kind.
"You mustn't hide your father.
James,"
Or, Jackie, sit where Ma can see," ~
Or where's that boy?" That boy,
that's me.
At parties older folks take all
The chairs, and nearly all the floor,
And we must stay out in the hall,
Or else just hang around the door.
The seat in front, for all the fun, a4
Is always for some older one.
They crowd us back, and nearly out,
And, if we dare to say word,
They turn around and fairly shout
That children should be seen, not
heard
But how can any child be seen2
Behind a davenport. ! mean.
But can sit in one front row
And not be told to hold my horse,
And that's when Ma makes Father go
And listen to some lecture course.
Then ev'ryone sits way, way back,
Excepting Jimmy, me and Jack.
At lectures people always stay
Way, way, way back, right near the
door,
Where they can't hear what speakers
say,
And speakers can't hear people
snore;
And parents don't object bit
When we go down in front to sit.
So Just remember. lecture man,
That we don't do like old folks do.
But get as near you as we can,
And that's a compliment to you.
But other folks, like Ma and Dad.

every criminal case is based. largely
on the recognition by the lawyer that
very few men hear or see with suffi-
cient accuracy to be able to swear to-
what they saw and heard and stick to
it under careful questioning.
One hundred per cent of inaccurate
observation is the fault of your brain
and not of your eye.
The eye is purely automatic in
strument of lens and screen which
work without deviation from the law
of optics. They are exactly similar to
camera and just as truthful. The
trouble comes with the incorrect ac-
ton of the brain and that incorrect
action is the result of bad training.
You can never know when your
power of accurate observation may be
of very great value to you. 1t may

What to Say After
a Sneeze
By Jean NeuDtosa

THE Greeks and Romans had their
L Long Life to You'll" "Gesundheit"
was for long time "verboten." But
we still say "Sante!" and God bless
you'll" after q sneeze.
This expression Oh solicitude can be
traced back to the decline of Athens.
One of the terrible devastating plaques
which darken the pages of European
history was raging in the famous city.
The flower of Greece, her foremost
writer's ant artists. the founders of
much of our modern culture, were
ruthlessly cut down. The dead piled
high, and daily Athenian courage was
taxed 20 the fullest. But to every
home where lay victim, the elixir
of hope, the rainbow of promise was
the sneeze, for it indicated to the
watchers that the danger was passed.
that the patient would rec'ver.
A few centuries later another cpl
demic assailed Europe, but this time
the sneeze, being symptom of the
malady, was a bad omen.
In this age of witches, COLLINS, med
icine men and leeches, superstition
flourished. Some Of the most intellec-
tual minds of the time accredited
charms and soothsayers. 1t was there
fore nothing extraordinary for the
pope to decree the exclamation "God
bless you'll" by any who heard
sneeze. This was supposed TO combat
its evil powers and prevent the spread
of the disease. And God bless you'll"
with it's kindly human interest has
come down through the ages.

ADVANCE
HALTED TODAY
Scores of Issues Carried Up
One TO 10 Points in Early
Trading

New York, April IL. - (AP) "A
sweeping advance in stock prices,
which carried scores Of issues up l
to 10 points in the early trading,
was checked around midday by profit
taking. Orders piled into the mar
ket in such large volume that the
ticker fell as minutes behind the
market before the end Of the third
hour. causing widespread confusion
in brokerage houses throughout the
country. Sales averaged around a
million shares an hsur during the
early part of the session.
Call money renewed at 1-2 per
cent but the volume of loanable
funds reached such large proportions
that the rate fell to five per cent
shortly after midday. This helped
to stimulate bullish enthusiasm de-
spite the fact that time money and
commercial paper rates held firm.
General Motors, after advancing
to within a fraction of the record
high Of 1893 established few weeks
ago, fell below 1876 on realizing
sales. First quarter earnings were
estimated today at $7O.OOO,OOO,
equivalent to 81 a share on the COM
mon stock. U. S. Steel opened at
1874, new high record, and then fell
off about two points in profit TAX
ing. Radio broke six points below
last nights close and dozen others
sold two to four points below last
nights final quotations.
Meanwhile, pool operations were
conducted with increased vigor in
scores of low and medium priced
specialties. The list of new high

ed issues as American Ice, American

Chicago, April 12.-(P-High
winds and dust storms reported IN

above the seasons previous top
prices. Despite immense profit

Quotations fluctuated with extreme
rapidity but with speculative de-
mand continuing on broad scale
and based largely on asserted likcli-
hood of only "A scant crop OF winter

based on assertions that crop DAM
age in the middle west is irrepar-
able. There was also talk that 1T

ter wheat in the west and southwest
should come through in manner to
offset the injury which has been
setforth by the government report
concerning the winter crop as a
whole.
Realizing Of profits for holders
was the cause generally ascribed as
responsible for hesitancy which the
market showed today in the earlier
dealing. As soon as prices began to
ascend vigorously however, spccula-
tive sellers made haste to change to
the buying side. Reports of rapid
progress Of spring wheat seeding
