terday filed suit in the Circuit Court
here to obtain an injunction restrain
ing the Smoot Sand g. Gravel Co. from
constructing bulkhead wall across the

former company as its property.
In the suit, which was filed by Attor-
neys C. Bascom Slemp, Louis Titus and
George v. Triplett of Washington and
Walter C. Mccarthy of Arlington Coun-
ty, it is contended that the airport
corporation owns property costing
$675, 600 and that it extends to the low
water mark of the Potomac. The
Smoot Sand & Gravel Co., it is alleged,
is encroaching upon this property in
the erection of rock wall that Is to
serve 40 bulkhead for fill in prepa-
ration for the construction Of the
Mount Vernon Boulevard.
The erection of this wall will cut of
the waterfront privileges of the airport
and otherwise injure its business, it
is claimed.

Co. said they were doing the work I'M
der contract awarded to them by the
Bureau of Public Roads Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Not Like Rabbits.

Or. Watson's second mistake is
the inference that women are on
the same plane with rabbits and
guinea pigs and COWS. Does he
imagine that a woman would enjoy
her time having babies for some
body else? Why go through all that
physical misery when there are so
many easier ways of making money?
Selling ones body has generally
been counted rather a low thing.
Selling ones children, it seems to
me, would be far lower

John, Buddy ran off again today.
What shall 1 do with him?"
Il don't know. He's your child
Train him." says John, deep in the
stock news.
1t is unfair for one parent to put
all the moral responsibility of bring
ing up the children on the other.
Team work in pulling the family
load is necessary. 1t is rare thing,
however, and that is very much to
be deplored, as probably there isn't
another vocation in the world that
demands as much cooperation as
this matter of parentage.
In getting a family of little chill
dren through life to a stage of self
dependence, there is always more or
less dirty" work to be done.
Oh no, I don't mean washing and
cleaning and all that! But denying
them when they want things, diSci-
plining them when they need it,
prodding them to do tasks they don't
like, making them study and last,
but not at all least, instilling into
them the thousand and one charac-
ter traits that will make them de-
sirable human beings.
Now it's a tremendous task at best
and needs two people working to-
gether to do it. Two people who
agree beforehand and know what
they are doing.
1t isn't fair for Buddy's father
to expect his wife to do all the
worrying, and disciplining.
However, Johns attitude is more

tried. Age is no barrier to the
splendid merits of this medicine.
Koniola works it's wonders for those
in the seventies and eighties as well
as for young men and women and
also may be given to the infant with
amazing results. But get all the
facts about Konjola. Call on. the
Konjola Man, who is at Hooks De-
pendable Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, Indianapolis,
and have him tell you the wonderful
story Of this wonderful medicine. He
will tell you of case after case
wherein Konjola brought the first
and only relief. And is it not wise
to profit by the experiences OF
others. Take, as a typical example
of Konjola at work, the case Of Mrs.
Belle Weckerman, 1921 Kenwood
avenue, Indianapolis, who said to
the Konjola Man few days ago:
although am seventy-one
years old, and had suffered for the
last twenty-five years, Konjola won
another of it's splendid victories in
my case. I praise this medicine
publicly in the hope that others will
profit from the lesson my experience
teaches.
when I say suffered for twenty
five years I mean that was in
misery day and night. Rheumatism
and kidney trouble made life mis-
cradle and because Of my age felt
that I would never see another wen
day. My legs and feet were so swoi-
len, stiff and painful that 1 could
not walk. Whenever I wanted to
get around I had to have someone
help me. I never left the house.
During the night the weakness of
my kidneys disturbed my sleep three
or four times. Finally my food be-
gan to disagree with me and felt
that I was just about done for.
Medicines we're of no avail and this
made me feel all the more certain
that my case was hopeless.
But Konjola was so sincerely rec
commended that 1 decided to take
one more chance for betterInent.
But was taking no chance with
Konjola. 1t was exactly what al
ways needed. It went right to work;
I could almost feel it. The surge of
returning health became more no.
ticeable every day. I realized that,
at last, health was just around the
corner in spite Of my age and the
length of suffering. 1t was several
months before Konjola completely
ended all my ailments, but it did
that thoroughly. Twenty-Five years
Of suffering is at an end. No more
rheumatism and my kidroy5 are
strong and functioning Nature
intends. I walk any distance and
sleep soundly every night All this
glorious health I owe to Konic md

Psychology
Professor
Is Played
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DR.. Watson. eminent behaviorist
and what have you, is one OF our
greatest modern advisers. His lat
est outburst is to declare that the
woman who can't or won't nave a
child should be allowed to hire an
other woman to have one for her.
Heredity, he argues, has nothing
whatever to do with the child, and
only environment counts. Smarter
persons than I. have disagreed with
this theory.
From his psychological expert
ences, DR.. Watson now gives us the
information that child would be
far better off if it could be borne
by ono woman and reared by an
other. He says. in fact, that parents
arc children's greatest handicapS.
That may be true.
Acquire Bad Traits.
But Just how is the doctor going
TO get around the fact that practi-
cally all foster parents gradually
acquire the bad traits of regular
ones, as for instance the tendency
to coddle and to kiss little hands
when they are cut, and all such
fOolishneSs. with which Dr. Watson
processes to have so little patience?
Could the woman who went into
the professional motherhood bust
ness be quite sure that the child
would be spared all such drawbacks?
Could the woman who purchased
it vouch for herself and her back
bone? If not where would the adj
vantage to the child como in?
Hero is the great flaw in such an
argument Most folks are alike
where babies are concerned. Sooner
or later everybody who has daily
dealings with a baby is certain to
grow sentimental. Only a person
stepped to the ears in psychology,
like DR.. Watson. could ever live in
the same house with an infant with
out becoming contaminated with
desire to Coddle and kiss it.
