.EUe1.y Man s
Home NO1ULs
His arsenal
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BI MhS. WALLER FEhGISON
We're getting so used to reading
about Chicago gangsters that they
don't interest us much any more.
We just glance over the headlines
and go on to the market reports or
the society section, according to
What sex We happen to belong.
But now and then the thought
will straggle into our placid Amer
lean brain: Where on earth do
these thugs get all their weapons
and ammunition? They aren't sat
isfied any more with plain, ordinary
guns, especially in Chicago. They
want something more impressive
and SO the machine-gun now is all
the rage.
We shall not be surprised in the
future to read of a Big Bertha being
set up on the outskirts of the Windy
City, all prepared to NOV down am
bilious and rival New York boot
leggers.
Personally, I can't see why they
don't take up airplane bombs. From
the ease with which they can &C
quire all sorts of other weapons, I
don't imagine they'd have any trou-
ole getting them.
Somebody once said something
about law that re had against
what is known in western parlance
as "gun-toting," but evidently either
the officers have not even heard of
it or the rest of us have forgotten
about it. At any rate, if there is
such a thing, it's as, badly enforced
everywhere as prohibition.
Hijackers are to be met with on
any nice evening along the byways,
pointing guns at peaceful citizens.
Farmers walk to their next door
neighbours and shoot down I'M
Suspecting souls. Women glide grace
fully to their dresSerS, toy with
their cunning little guns, and non
chalantly kill their husbands.
Babies climb upon the clock shelf,
get down the family six-shooter,
and Stay each other. Bandits haul
machine-gunS through the streets
and lombard buildings. Lovely So
cial affairs, starting off with cock
tails, often end in shooting scrapes.
It's a mystery where all the guns do
come from.
Oh, yes, we have some nice laws.
But in spite Of them our city
streets are shooting galleries and
every home is an arsenal.

YOUR CHILD
Let Children
Ask Questions
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

THERE is no use inquiring if
Il your children ask questions
for they do, of course. Very likely,
if you have a boy, you are at your
wits end and spend half your time
trying to think up answers for his
seemingly wit1ess queries.
What does the lamp have a
string for, Mother?"
ITO allow the electricity to come
through"
Where from?"
"Well--from a big place called a
power plant where they make it. 1t
comes along wires to our house"
"Why?"
"Why-because. What questions
you do ask, Jchnnyl"
rs it wet?"
Moo! I guess not. No, it isn't
wet"
"why?"
I'm busy, Johnny. Go and get
your tricycle."
A1OW both OF Johnny why
IN were perfectly lucid-to him.
1t was his way Of wanting to be told
all about it.
He hadn't the slightest idea of
what his mother was talking about,
but his mind had sensed another OF
the wonders of the big world about
him and Immediately sent our ex-
ploring antennae to inform itself
about this new curiosity.
Children are inarticulate. No one
can ask intelligent questions unless
he knows a little of something about
what he is talking about.
The awkward, seemingly mean
inglesS questioning, and their
why's" are merely their incoherent
way of saying. 81 want to know all
about it. Please tell me the whole
story"
There are two ways of learning
for beth old and young-one is by
actual experience or experiment;
the other is by getting knowledge
from other people who know.
Older people get the latter by
reading, but children have to be
told.

lV1 dress members of the Wo-
mans Department Club on THE
Soul of Russia" at a general meet
Ing of the organization at 2;30
Wednesday at the club home, 1902
North Meridian street.
Mr.. Hindus, born in Russia, came
to America at the age of IA He
worked as a farm laborer for several
wears and then went to Colgate uni
versity, from which he was gradu-
ated with high honorS. He then
studied at Harvard and since has
attained high distinction as q
speaker and writer.
His talks and writings concerning
immigration and Americanization
movements stamp him as one of the
sanest and most conservative think
ers of the country. He has spent
much time in Russia and is able to
give first hand information on con-
ditions there.
In his talk, he shows that if the
late car of Russia had abolished
the offensive landlord system and
given land to the peasants. he still
would be head of the domain which
represents one-seventh of the land
of the earth.
Preceding the talk, business
meeting will be held at 2 o'clock,
under direction of Mrs. Everett M.
Schofield and Mrs. Edward Ferger.

present a group of solos, accompanied
by Madame Juleson. Mr.. Mendel-
sohn played before the club several

short period each day set aside for
questions.
Of course the teacher would find
herself in some tight positions. but
such session could be conducted in
the nature of an open forum, in
which other children could volun-
teer answers TO questions.
That would give opportunity for
discussions. Discussions are Won
derful with cultivators.
1t is amazing the amount Of ac-
tual knowledge children pick up in
this way.
A child who is constantly put off,
who never has his questions an
swered, nor things explained to him
becomes indifferent after awhile
and dull of wit.
When he loses that keen natural
interest in things around him ii Is
serious. indeed

The modern EIgh-speed. high COM
preston automobile motor has
brought into requirement an entirely
different lubricating oil. In tie
J olden days when motors turned
eighteen hundred revolutions per
minute. It was not necessary to give
great attention to lubricants. The
moderate heat generated had no de-
teriorating effect on the oil. and
there was no excessive wear either
on pistnns, cylinders or bearings.
Today IL Is all changed--high
speed has doubled the revolutions
per minute, and terrific heat is gen.
Grated throughout the motor. The
old time oils have been found want

The Gulf Refining Company has
always endeavored to keep pace with
the times. and their large corps Of
chemists have spent time ana money
IN experiments looking toward i'm.
provement In fabrication.
Taking the best quality OF paraf-
line base and the best napthene base
crudes, they have perfected q blend
or two-base oil which possesses the
combined characteristics OF both.

Kerosene as a Remedy
For Piston Ring Leaks

A bad leak at the piston ring
will generally indicate itself by a
Kissing sound in the engine when
climbing a hill. Where the rings
are broken or worn they must be
replaced. It is q good practice to
pour about a half cupful of kero-
sene into each cylinder about once
a week, and 1t Is best to do this
while the engine is warm after
completing run. This will tend
to prevent the rings from sticking
in their grooves.
