JANET ON CURRENT FICTION

BY Marshall +. Dell
Janet thinks that, honestly, the
world is getting better and to prove
it. why, you've only got TO look at
the magazines. Why. when she was
a girl-well. anyway, just few
years ago-the magazines had the
most awful things in them, but now
every story has moral, II you
know what she means,
Candidly. Janet doesn't think
there's anything wrong about sex, IN
itself, you understand. Sex can
really he very beautiful. Now, you
take the story she was reading the
other night. 1t was one of those true
ones, you know.
1t vas about a girl who was cap
tured and taken aboard the Rum
Fleet and kept there for weeks and
weeks by those terrible men, and all
the time the captain trying to force
her to marry him, but, Of course.
she wouldn't think OF such thing
because she was engaged to tel
low on shore and he was just abso-
lutely wild worrying about what had
become of her.
The article was in two instalments
and Janet can't wait until the Sec
ond one comes out, but she knows
the girl is going to escape and she
will probably reform the captain
because you can see that even he

 This proved 10 be q house. l. was q very nice house. It was a very well built house. It had an opening plenty big enough for Spooky. That house could not have suited him better if it had been made for him. He went inside. The first thing he discovered was a handful of nuts. lie guessed then that this house had been built for Happy Jack Squirrel. His guess was right. That house had been put up in the maple tree that very day. t was the Christmas gift of Farmer Browns Boy 10 Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. Happy Jack had dis covered it late in the afternoon. He had gone inside and inspected that house thoroughly. He had decided that he would move in the next day You see, It was just before dark that he had discovered the house. It was tGo late 10 move in that night, so Happy Jack had eaten two or three nuts, then hurried off 10 his old house and planned 10 return carly the next morning 10 take posse cSsion O. this new house and build q com rortablc bed in it.
 Of course, SpooFy the Scrcoch owl knew nothing about all this.

But t Ha5 and SDooky was getting his share of Christmas icy.
 Meanwhile over in his old homo Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel was dreaming of the new house he hal found and how he would move into i; and how fine it would be to be such ;t near neighbOr to Farmer Browns Boy. And Farmer Browns l oy, who had seen Happy Jack W hen he had found the house, and had seen him when he left it for the nlght, was wondering if he would return the next morning and move in.

 Henry Gets Jazz
 It was a feeling, however, which I resolved they never should suspect. no matter what possible unpleasant ness might arise from their visit. And as the boys responded frankly and courteously to my attentions and care for them I felt thoroughly ashamed of myself for not being able to baniSh entirely the vague un- easlncSs l felt concerning them.
 By katherinc's strict orders I had said nothing to them of there being convalescent in the house. But l wished l had disobeyed her when after dinner Henry. the second of the two boys, spied the radio an l spoke to Dlcky courteously but wit h evident expectancy of an affirmative answer:
 "Oh, you have one just like Un- clc Edwin's. DO you mind, sir, if l try to get some jazz on it?"

 Dr. Charcs Francis Long has described number of cases which are of great interest. In most in stances, reorganization of the food is uncontrollablc and is associated with SaStro-intCStinal disturb anccs. However, an Egyptian ao- tor. Iiadii Ali, can swallow fif;y glasses of water and without ao- parent effort bring it right ID again. He swallows thirty hazel nuts and one almond, and brings up as many hazel nuts as may be requested before bringing up the almond. This is probably d trick with the almond held in the n'outh and the hazel nuts rcgur- Sitltcd.
 He also swallows three hand h"rchicfs of different colors and brings mp the colors selected Tn order. The investigators are con- vlnccd that he holds these in his mouth and that they are differ cntly tlavored 90 that the swallows them in the reverse order of the requested reorganization.
 He also swallows pint of Wa ter and q half pint of coal oil stands six feet from q burning candle. and then regursitatcs tha coal oil which bursts into flame as if approaches the candle. Final ly the water, which is heavier than tn" coal oil, comes along and puts out the fire.

Talks p66AQ &&4z parents
HIERARCHY By Alice JudsOn Pcalc

A certain mother of my acquain, tance naS worked out what she con- slders very efficient system for keeping her family in order in her absence.
 There arc six children and the eldest present is responsible for tre conduct of the rest. It becomes his duty to give permissions, to correct, to forbid, and to give to his mother on her return the reck- | onlng of behavior iI1 her absence. The system is convenient since 1t transfers authority to q subaltern who enjoys his prestige so much that he enthusiastically sees that all rules are enforced. Tor all but the youngest, of course, there is all ways the hope that his day will come.
 Yet the system. no matter how well 1t appears to work out, seems to me an essentially bad one. It gives to the eldest a sense of authority over persons which is m attribute that usually needs no em- l f44"N'i''' iN i'N'AAOiNto Iii trit younger children the feeling of inferiori,v and the habit of taking orders, attitudes which are sufficiently in- l iiuential as personality ingredients when expressed only in relation to their parents.
 The system furthermore wastes many opportunities for teaching the l younger children to be responsible 1 for themselves, to act on their | honor, and to use their own judg- ment
 It tends also to emphasize frc-
 tion, to rub sore spots, and to sup
 press still further the one who already is the under dog
 The younger child is forced to
 win his way to independence, not only against the necessary dominl.
 tion of his parents but also against
 the wholly gratutous one of hierarchy of dominating older brothers and sisters.
 Children should be responsible
 only to their parents or to someone
 who may properly !. as their sur
 rogate, some relative of their par
 ents' generation, a teacher or governess.
