Manners in the Mdking By EDITH LOCHRIDGE REID

"Why do 1 have to. say Please when ask for anything. Moth err" Stanley looked earnestly for the reply and he was blessed with an understanding mother who re- spected her little sons intelli- gence, the answer to his question was not only Interesting but con- structive.
 His mother explained manners in way that appealed to hi imagination and which likewis inspired him, to want to be man nerly. She could have made tho mistake of telling him to, ,observI this. little courtesy because shr said that was the proper. thin. or because, it was the way tha polite persons do; but Staniey's mother knew a better course. Sf she said:
 Now. I'm so glad that you ask ed me that, dear. for it would D hard to go ,on saying somethin every day of your life if yo couldn't think of a good reaso. for doing it.. And when you gC puzzled this way you must alway ask me so that we can straightel the puzzle out" W
 By this time Stanley's eye were beaming. His mother kne how to create interest in littl everyday affairs.
 When you say Please" in ask ing for an apple, that means tha if give you the apple you vii be happy. Then you sec tha makes Mother happy because sh has done little act for some0n she loves very much. If you di' not say Please I might think yo' did not care much whether 1 gay you what you asked for, and the' II couldn't be sure whether yo were much happier or not
 Stanley's face lighted up and h seemed to catch a new vision c what folks call politeness. H i iqueried further: a
 When, I thanked MT. Barne this morning for letting me talk | his hammer to fix my wagon, q you think he liked me better?"
 Mother smiled indulgently. '1 made him so happy to think tha he had helped you, for you mug remember Son, that these word of politeness and deeds of though fitness are happiness makers. The help folks who hear them an see them to feel love and frient ship" / What about folding my nal
 kin at table?" inquired Stanle. now swept away with his interes ! s'1Grandma told me was being p' lite when did that"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-08-11

Agnin Mother laughed a pleas ant little ripple of loving .merri- ment. She threw him chal- lenge. Now, you think hard and tell me the reason-for we must not do things all the time unless we understand why it is better to do them.' .e
 Stanley paused for half a sec. ond. Then he exclaimed. Tt would make the table look bad if I threw my napkin down, s, And then you would have b work hard ar folding it up for me after meals" e fa se. 4.g
 .'Then if the table would look better, manners help to make the world more tidy and beautiful, :" continued Mother, '.and when you try to save me work. you add more love to the home where you live.H !. So from that one. hour of dis
 ,ussion. Stanley caught a last ing spirit of good manners and ,sindly courtesy, Never again did ile question these amenities of 1aily life, because their value had been submitted to his intelligence
 instead of their form being de- manded of him as a matter of obedience. e7 After that he performed such
 tets of politeness with under
 itanding The motive came from gifhin. which was as 1t always should be. By using imaglna- ion he found reasons for every pleasant little favor or sacrifice, and to. have omitted such courte- ,ies would to him have been an af- 'ront to love and friendship.

BY the Associated Press
Officers and enlisted men of the Navy
injured at sea on naval vessels and
their families when death results from
the accident are prohibited from suing
the Government for damages, the
United States declared in a brief filed
yesterday in the Supreme Court.
The brief was signed by Solicitor Gen
eral Mitchell and urged the court to
refuse to review cases brought by the
estates of Lieut.. Rodney H. Dobson,
captain of the submarine S-51, which
went down off Block Island, r. l., after
collision with the steamer City of Rome,
September 25, 1925; of Lieut.. James D.
Haselden, jr, and Ensign Edmund w.
Egbert. The United States contended
that the decision of the lower Federal
courts holding that these estates were
precluded from suing the Government
should be permitted to stand.
Asserting that the disaster which took
such a heavy toll of lives was caused
by defective navigation lights on the
submarine, the estates of the officers
