THE GENERAL FORGETS
livery square inch of his military chest
covered with medals and ribbons, general
- of the American army sold himself to a
cigaret maker the other day. With his picture,
in full page magazine advertisements, was a let
ter of testimony to the wonderful- the mira
culous-health qualities of this one brand of
cigarets. Any soldier smoking one of them in
the morning was well the way to being the
best man in his regiment; let him smoke pack
age and he could lick the entire army on the other
side of no mans land; give him carton and
there would be no need of building navy.
About ten years ago this same general was
lecturng American soldiers on the salute, and
what it signifed He, and his associates, did the
job so thoroughly that there remains even now
the clear understanding that when the ordinary
soldier saluted an officer there was nothing per-
sonal in it. He was showing his respect for the
uniform, for the flag, and, for the country.
1t is evident the general has now forgotten
the significance of the uniform which he trained
others to respect. He sold his name to cigaret
maker, which was his own business. But when
he sold the uniform of his country that was
another matter. His picture in civilian clothes
would not have brought as big price as did the
one showing medals for past service He got
more money because he sold the uniform for
which wholesome respect had recently been built
up.
This cheap business. Participation in it puts
a blot on an otherwise brilliant record
eve have waited for all of ten years for
chance to talk back to a general.) -Lud Roe in

A wife admitted that she nagged her hus-

If there ever comes time when Ted Chris

From the looks of the advance spring styles,
it is going to continue to be the busy season for
silk while the little lambkin will
still have plenty of time for frisking. But it

We don't know the ins and outs of the Man
kato school fracas but we do know, just on gen.
eral principles, that bunch of students who will
go out on strike when something unpleasing
comes up should naturally be spanked and sent
early to bed. It is not within the jurisdiction Of
students, even lofty high school ones, to dictate
the administration of the school. That is en-
tirely the perogative of the Board of Education.

One of the biggest fool pieces of legisla-
ton that has been passed in Washington
for some time was the granting by congress
of pension to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson of
$4,000 yearly. Adding insult to injury, the
act was again duplicated when Mrs. Leonard
Wood was voted pension Of 81 800 year.
The combined wealth of the two ladies will
aggregated nearly million, and for the sake
of sentiment congress passes fool laws that
make the poor people pay.-John King in
Jackson Pilot.
Amen to that
It's funny thing! Mature men and women
will accept the airplane, the automobile, the
electrically equipped home the talkies, the radio
and all the other thousand and one modern con-
veniences. But when the school teacher dares
to change methods of teaching from the old
standards to new, up to date and improved ways,
these same people make an awful fuss about
"fads and frills" and Education that doesn't
educate" If we accept modernity in one place
we should accept it just as willingly in another.
Anyway we can't escape it.

"The man who has to change his mind
most frequently is the man who claims to
know all about women" says Bess Wilson.
Why should any man want to know all about
women? Woman is series of puzzles, and
what good is puzzle after you have solved
it? Let the eternal feminine remain an
enigma.
WE'LL now, amt August the nice gallant
gent. But in another section of his paper he
says:

She thinks you are bad enough anyway.

 In primitive magic not only were things unssen and spiritual associat. cd with influences over the human body. but particular value was at- tachsd to sens taken from the heavenly bodies.
 The waning and waning of the meon save riss to innumerabls bs. lisfs. q WAS mentioned in pre- vieus articles in this series. The sowinG of crops. tho building Of houses. the marrying Of wives and the birth of children wera definitely related to changes tn tho phases of the moon.
 In India is has long been be- lieved that cholera breaks out when there is . change in the moon from the crescent to the full moon. In Cornwall it is believed that it is unhealthy for the child to bs born in the dark interval between the old and the new mooa.
 In Ireland and in various por- tions of Germany it is believed that if | child is born at . tim+ when the moon is on the increase the next child in the family will be | boy, but if on the decrease i, will be girl. This superstition s. of course. directly related te the idea of right hand and strength being associated with th: boy. left hand and weakness with the girl.
 Even the old scientific physician Galen thought that animals born during the full of the moon were strong. It is related that the philosopher Francis Bacon had ar attack of apopiexy when the moon became eclipsed.
 Furthermore. superstitious mag. ic figured the duration of the dis. ease according to the phase of th. moon. According to the astrolosers the moon is moist planet associated with rainfall. the circulation of sau in plants and the movements of vari ous fluids in the body. Indeed there n poem to the effect that the moon. governess of floods, pale in Fer anger. washes all the air and that rheumatic diseases do abounl when the moon is full.
 As IS probably clear to every. one, there is not the slightest req son scientifically established te believe any of these notions. It is not true that a stye will he cured by magic any better or the first night of the new moon than at any other period. The moon is the supreme mystery te the mind of the superstitious. I, is associated with the sexual inter ests Of human beings, since the moon nas always been called the queen mother and the wife of the | sun.
 In Greenland it is thought thai when there fs an eclipse a war il going on between the sun and tho moon, 70 the men hide when tn, sun is eclipsed and the woms, hide when the moon is eclipsed.
 The Greatest folly Of mankind is the fear of natural phenomena It is better to understand than t. be afraid.

 There is no more destructive ele- ment in our relation to our children than that of holding over for today the sins and failures of yesterday. One young woman remembers with resentment that, although she hA ] learned to wear neat clothing by the time she was 12. her family assun. ed that she was still the sloven of her tomhoy days apd continued ia call her The Rag Man" until she was grown up.
 The same thing often is done In small daily matters. No" we say. you may not carry the milk pitch- CT; yesterday you spilled it." Or. Last time I allowed you to 70 out ito play after supper you stayed out an hour late. No, you can't go out today"
 And again. "When I gave you that chocolate you promised to eni only half and save the rest. But you disobeyed me 90 I can't trust you with candy any more"
 The child who constantly is re- minded of his past failures grows to think of them as part of himself Following his elders lead. he ac- ceps his faults as A fixed part 0t his personality. He becomes as pes simistic about his failures as hii parents are This is hardly | stats of mind conducive of improvement in conduct.
 l, For the child each new day should be a clean slate, fresh opportunity to make an unbIemished record not that the making of records should be uppermost in his mind, ol should occupy any large share oi 1 his conscious thought. But in so fa' as the child thinks of his behavior at ell 1t should always seem pos sble for him to be quite as goo and orderly and skillful as his eld- CTS want him to be.

. The six babies of Mrs. Grebe had climbed up on her back and were oncs raorA riding around as she 3w4m with them. Peter Rabbit, who abaA watching them, began to won- Vsr what would happen if some lanter suddenly appeared.
 "tt Mrs. 0rebe were alone" tAoptht Peter. she would dive. But what under the sun would she do with those babies? think I'll ask her"
 -" ss, when Mrs. Grebe was near enough, Peter did ask her. "Suppos- ing, Mrs. Grebe," said he, danger should suddenly appear. what would You do with those babies?"
 Take them with me out of harms way" replied Mrs. Grebe promptly.
 But you couldn't do that" cried Peter.
 What is the reason l couldn't?" demanded Mrs. Grebe.
 This was too much for Peter Well. l don't zee how you could v said he rather iAmely.
 Mrs. Grebe chuckled. Its the easiest thing in the world said she. She glanced over her shoulder. All the babies were hidden under the feathers. She looked over at Peter. Then. without a word. she divtd in that sudden way . Grebe has. Peter gasped. He wondered what would happen to those babies A moment later he saw Mrs. Grebe come up on the other side of the Smiling Pool. She swan back to where Peter was.
 Where are your babies?" gasped Peter.
 First one little head. and then an- other appeared. as if in answer to Peters question. The babies did not seem at all surprised at what had happened.
 "Did-yoU take them with you ali that distance under water?" de- manded Peter.
 Certainly" replied Mrs. Grebe ''Why not?'
 "But-but--" Peter didn't know what to say. It seemeI to him that this was the most remarkable fam fly he had ever seen. It was just as if Mrs. Grebe had pockets and had carried her babies in those pocket While she swam under water Sh. chuckled as she watched the expres. sion on Peters face.
