ONE KIND OF ..II. By Alice .DudsOn pealc

When child lies we try to make him change his ways. Eighr-year- old Margery's story suggests how far we must sometimes search and how pathetically we must understand before We can hope to wipe out even so obvious a fault as lying.
 Margery was taken 10 the psychia- trist because of inCessant and ex- travasant lying. She had been pun ishcd again and again and told that her lies deceived no one. But the lying went on in an undiminished stream.
 A study Of her lies made it plain that one purpose lay behind them all to win first place. They were de- signed 10 make her appear more clever than anyone in her class, bet ter behaved than her brother, and m every way important and worthy of approval. Yet why she tried to achieve these ends by means so pc culiar was not easy to understand until one looked behind the scenes.
 Mareery was the child of first and unhappy marriage, any refer ence 10 which still aroused distress in her mother. Her little brother Tom my, on the other hand, was born of q second and happy marriage
 With inc intuition Of a sensitive child MarGcry knew what her moth CT could not admit even 10 herself that she Was jess loved than her brother, that the sight of her some how a" oke in her mother dark un- happy things too painful 10 be put into words.
 She sensed kecnlv the difference in the quality Of love given to her and Tommy. Had she been older she might have said that mother loved Tommy with her heart, but her only with her conscience. Margory's lies wcre but a child lsh effort 10 win her share of love and approval. When q subsequent realization ot her little daughter need of her woke in her mother some degree of genuine love- Mar sery's lies became less and less ire quent until they ceased altogether.

The statement that the baby Of a woman who plays inc piano every day for months before she IS about 10 become mother will be born d Victor Herbert IS one Of the com mon American beliefs stated in humorous form by Messrs. Menck"n and Nathan in their American Credo. In that book th"so two modern American philosophers list some hundreds Of American beliefs on various subjects.
 Actually. there IS no scientific evidence that th" lninl. the talents or the tissues of a cnIld can be marked in any way by the mothers mental impressions before it's birth.
 Nevertheless there is q persistent belief that tho e&pectant mother should visit ari galleries to look at beautiful pa ntings so that her child may he beautiful and that she should avoid being frightened in any way in order that the child may not be marked by birthmarks resem bling snakes. dogs. fires, or anything Of a similar character.
 There is an old story about an orato who was gcsturing unneces- sariIy. Someone asked Senator Reed for an expalnation of this phenom- enon and he replied that the orator. s mother had been scared by a wind mill.
 Many savage tribes believe that impulses may be conveyed to the child not only from the mother but even from the father, notHithstand- ing the fact that the father has no physical conr rection whatever with the infant during the process of it's development.
 The ignorant people of the past accounted for the occurrence of all kinds of abnormalties by the idea of prenatal impressions. Straw berry-like birthmarks were traced

Peter Rabbit continued to visit Llghtfoot the Deer, for Peter was very much interested in those new antlers growing on the head Of Lightfoot II was astonishing how fast they grow IL sometimes seemed 10 Peter as if ne could almost see them grow. + interested him to see the very great care that Lightfoot took Of them.
 T don't sec" said Peter, how you manage 10 get around through the woods without injuring those antlers. You say they are soft and tender. You must hit them every once in a while against branches 9"
 Why must r." demanded Light foot,
 T didn't mean just that" ex- plained Peter What I meant was that you cannot get around without sometimes hitting them.'
 "Why not?" asked LightfoOt

 That's different" replied Light IoOLF u wei z tl4lii d llb tlpN = p- lucky, needless sort of fellow as you are, very likely I wouldn't be able 10. There is nothing like know ing how. Peter: nothing like know ing how
 T guess" said Peter. that if you had to run very fast through thick woods or bushes those antlers Of yours would get hit good many times"
 "They might" replied Iightfoot, ''but l don't think so. IL is my busi- ness to See that they don't get hlt. ard l have learned my business pretty well, if l do say SO. Now, if you will excuse me. ] think l will go down 10 my favorite thiclet and lie down for a while"
 Look out Buster Bear don't get you" chuckled Peter.
 He won't if you are around. l am quite sure replied IIghtfoot wheroat Peter looked pleased.
 Lightfoot started off and Peter watched him go. There were some rather low branches on the trees in the direction Lightfoot had chosen It seemed as if he certainly must hit those tender growing antlers. but he didn't. II was 3 sight worth see ing to watch him pass through the woods. He turned his head eyer so little this way he twist ed bit that way He didn't pause. but kept go- ing Iight on. yet never once did anything more than leaves touch those antlers. Peter just sat there and admired the clever way in whith h Lightfoot took care of those precious antlers. Finally Lightfoot disappeared in his favorite thicket
 'He did it. said Peter. quite as if he couldn't believe what he was himself saying.
 He did what?" inquired Sammy Jsy. alighting in a tree near Peter
 "Lightfoot went right down through all those young trees and bushes without once hitting his antlers." explained Peter.
 Sammy nodded. "Of course he did" said he. T could have told you he would If he hadn't he would have some badly sha ped antlers. He cannot afford to take any chance.

Women Did Most to Make World
 See Children Aren't Criminals

New York, April 11-This month Americas juvenile courts celebrate the Soth anniversary of the institu- tons inception.
 Chicago founded the first expert. ment in human engineering or April 21. 1899, at the instigation ol local clubwomen working in con. junction with some of the city's so. cially- minded lawyers.
 Today every state but one has g system of juvenile courts and thou. sands of persons doing probation work
 Two generations ago the state was la tyrant towards WayWard children Chased as criminals, they were put in Iiails with hardened cases and the chances were small that they would emerge unscathed.
 Today. through the success of the probation system, the state has 8 concerned mother attitude towards children that fall into the tolls oi the law, considering each boy or girl delinquent separately, humane ly, scientifically.
 Women Were siDOnsors l Women have had much to do with the growth of the juvenile court system, though Judge Ben Lindsey deserves tremendous credit for sell ing the idea to America. especially throug his famous lecture, ''The Trials of Mickey"
 Of the 3.7o2 probation officers spending their entire time on ju- venile delinquent work, 1,167 are women.
 Women have seen to it that ju- venile court judges have been chosen for their special qualitica- tions, such as an understanding of social problems, an understanding of boys and girls. a trained and sym pathetic knowledge of child psy- chology. Many juvenile court judges are women. notably Judge Mary Bartholme and Judge Kelley.
 And women have been interested in keeping up high standards for probation officers who work with juvenile court judges. These proba- tion officers now are selected from experienced social work case work CTS who have tact, resourcefulness and sympathy necessary to handle children.
 Lastly, women probation workers and the intelligent club women who support their work have insisted on detention homes to house children who used to be thrown into jail, to carry the stigma through life.
 Both married and unmarried careers in probation work now. To- day it demands high intelligence and special training to qualify. Not only is d college or social workers education asked. but often training in psychiatry which increases the probation workers diagnosing pow CTS tremendously.
 Understanding Children
 The whole atmosphere in tho best juvenile courts in America now is  dren whom the spirit of adventure has led astray. It is impossible 10 es- innate the thousands of youngsters who have been salNaged for useful life in their community by the states friendly, helpful attitude instead Of its considering them impossible criminals.
 Because of the tremendous suc- cess of the whole probation sys- tem. various women's clubs arc now working with the National Probation association 10 start d drive 10 cstab- fish juvenile courts and probation service in every city and county Of America by 1885, The mothers of today are asking that wayward boys and girls be given a fair chance to fit into their community and be the respected mothers and fathers of to- MOTION.
