LISTEN WORLD!
: Love With All Your Might
By Elsie Robinson

you live through them as we'll as
through yourself.
Recently the Grand. Duke Alex
ander, cousin of the late Gar
Nicholas, spoke at the town hall
in New York. He told of the
tremendous change which was
wrought by the revolution in the
lives of many aristocratic Rus
slams.
Il awoke one morning to find all
my material possessions gone" he
said. But not my soul, which
nothing can take from me.
The lesson of my life has taught
me that only one power exists
love. Only when we love
can we give expression to the
highest power and gain spiritual
strength"
Only one power exists-or per-
sists-and that Is love.
Money loses it's power to satisfy
fame loses it's power to thrill,
Only one function will warm your
heart and increase your life to the
end-and that is love.
Love! ...-
Love with all your might!
Love as many people as you
possibly can.
Give yourself in wider and wider
circles of sympathy until you en-
brace the whole world with your
friendliness. Then you will no
longer be living one life. Your
life will be as wide as your love.

II Love with all your might.
Love, not because love is easy
but because love is hard.
Real love is perhaps the most
difficult experience on earth.
1t demands more of human ma
ture than any other experience.
1t demands constant growth and
REIMBURSEMENT.
1t demands, unlimited generosity
and tolerance.
These are difficult things to
achieve or to give. But one can.
not truly love unless one gives
them.
Real love will crack you out of
the walls of self and hurl you into
the current of another life. 1t
will make you forget yourself
leave yourself. That is why love
is the greatest blessing that can
happen to you-as we'll as the
most difficult experience.

GREATLY UNLESS YOU ARE
CRACKED OUT OF THE WALLS

MERGE YOUR LIFE WITH

Lives that do not love become

would have his life must lose it,
When you truly love you lose
your life in the lives of others and

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

-by LIZ LUuIS Gs DISCIA-s
MOTHERS are forever want
IVA ing to think that their
children are exceptionally brigh:
in other words, precocious.
And, of course, the first born Is
almost invariably considered 50.
There is no denying the fact
that to watch a child's intelli-
gence flower. to see it develop
step by step from helpless infancy
to maturity, is like observing a
miracle. Therefore parents un
acquainted with what a normal
child can and should be able to
accomplish at the various stages
of development should be pardone1
when their pride leads them to
believe their child is truly ex-
ceptional.
Yet a precocious child is not
altogether an unmixed blessing.
A precocious child is always
one who is decidedly different.
And such differences from the
average carry with them special
problems in child training.
First of all, precocious children
do not fit well into the regular
grades OF the schools.
School subjects which are best
for the average of their age are
too easy for them and they are
likely to become disdainful. They
learn quickly. and if too little
effort is required they become
careless about their lessons and
homework and may even develop
laziness.
Unusually gifted children are
also likely to be unevenly de
veIoped. Often they are average
in certain school studies and ex-
ceptionally bright only in few
others.
This makes it difficult to give
them a well-rounded training, even
if special tutoring is resorted to.
Furthermore. the precocious are
frequently egotistic. Parents and
others tend to overpraise them.
The children, consequently, be-
come conceited, and, as they grow
older, this may constitute a real
handicap in their social adjust
ments.
Lastly. there is the nervous
factor.
Many precocious children are
high-strung and unstable. They
may be given to temper tantrums.
sleeplessness. sleep-walking. and
other nervous manifestations. All
these require special study. if not
actual medical treatment.
A precocious child is worth all
the trouble it takes to raise him
properly. but certainly it means
patience. understanding. and even
special knowledge on the part Of
the teachers and parents If the
final result is to be satisfactory.
Because of lack of such bene-
fits, these unusually bright boys
and girls often turn out to be
peculiar. eccentric, unevenly de-
veloped men and women. The
possibility of an ultimate neurosis.
or functional nervous disease.
must always be considered.
In the first place, do not jump
to the conclusion that your child
is precocious unless you have that
judgment backed up by mental
tests and. If possible, a scientific
opinion rendered by one who spe-
cializes in that type Of work.
Secondly, IL your child really is
precocious, be sure to study him
as an individual. The rules APP
plicable to other average children
may not apny TO him.
Do not overstress the mental
faculties in which the child ex-
cells. but stress the education Of
those in which he 10 deficient.
Try TO make your unusual child
evenly developed In all flslds.

It appears that the jury has
not taken seriously the sensational
statements of Mrs. Amelia P. Tur-
ley that her husband, a District
employee, killed Scrivener and con-
feSSed to her year ago in a
drunken rage. Turley hasn't been
disturbed, except to be questioned
as to his wife's statements.
Mrs. Tur1ey would make no at

found clutched in the dead detec-

reported to have declared herself

ties but she countered with: How
can I identify the tie when he
