OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

There comes a time in the course Of
a child's lifetime when father or mother
must say mo" in laundering tones. Say
it so loudly, so strictly. so convincingly
that the matter is settled for good and
all.
The mo" marks q crisis. It Is no
daily affair. The child who has been
brought up on "No's'' will not mind an
extra one, and indeed the parent &C
customed to saying mo" day after day
will not have the power to use the No
! have in mind.
You see. a child Is trained to obedi-
ence, to trust and confidence in a par
ent's love and care and fair minded
ness by experience with obeying. II
the training has been for the sake Of
the child's welfare; if it has been
pointed toward growth, useful living
and happy expression of activity with
out selfishness or carping, the child has
learned to look for guidance and advice
when he needs it. He will accept 1t
readily and Understandings.
But the best Of children, best intel
lectually and spiritually, are experienced
in the ways of the world, and are GER
tain at one time o. another to wish to
do what will bring them distress. They
will question, argue, coax and plan.
They will bear down upon the wearied
parent to the last grain of patience.
Then the mo" must be spoken.
A boy in his sophomore year in COL
lege falls in love with a girl of IS. The
girl does nothing but make herself at
tractive. The boy is diverted from his

passing phase of sex attraction. and he
wants to leave college and go to work.
to marry this helpless girl. You say
| NO" And you stick to 1t.
The girl at IL suddenly becomes en-
amored of boys. She has been good
child in school and at home. She has
been guarded and instructed and care
fully reared. Yet she delays on the
street corners to meet boy. She goes
of for a ride with him after school
without telling anybody about it. She
wants to keep company" with this boy
You who know her danger. you who
understand the phase of growth which
she is passing stand by and say No"
And you carry that No" through, even
though you must chaperon that child
to and from school, wherever she goes.
until she gets past the trying time.
1t is better to be in advance of the
crisis II you can. When you see these
danger signals looming ahead. bend
every energy to redirect the thought.
the interests of the young person. Try
to head them toward other fields. Fill
their hours with work and fun, and fill
their minds with thoughts of service
Try to balance them by giving them
responsibility.
Sometimes it is not possible to meet
the crisis. The willful child goes his
way and pays the penalty But If one
has laid the foundation for trust and
confidence back in the early days 1t
usually holds and the big mo" works.

Make Dollars Last.

Women sometimes spend a lifetime
learning about the buying and caring
for their clothes, and never trouble
themselves much over their husbands
and sons things. Yet fair part OF
the family's income Is invested in the
clothes of the men folks. II we are
interested in seeing to it that dollars
are well spent on the masculine ward

their lives. Clothes that wear shiny, or
become moth eaten, or wear quickly,
have probably not been cleaned as they
should have been. Regular cleaning
should be accorded to mems clothing.
It means better and fresher appearance
as well as longer life.
Perspiratiorl. hair tonic and stains
from other sources will combine to
make for a disreputable hat. An occa-
sional steaming and blocking will re-
move stains before they have a chance
to become ineradicable and prolong the
life OF a hat. Home efforts to clean
hats often result in permanent stains.
Dry cleaning is an economy In ways
with mems clothing. A mans things
fit as snugly or more SO than q wom-
ans. Wet clothing will often shrink
woolens and fiannels, and make further
wear dubious. It Is best to pay the
price of efficient cleaning and save on
the clothing investment.
Prompt darning saves much OF the

Did they intend to sail up the bay
