STOCKS MAKE
MODERATE
GAINS
By w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. II. u.N.S1 -
Most of the leaders in last weeks
advance in prices were pushed
along a point or two in a fairly
active market this morning. The
bulls in United States Steel, Stude-
baker and Briggs, as we'll as the
high.priced aeroplane stocks, con-
tinued TO buy their favorites with
both hands, holding them squarely
above the prices prevailing at the
close of Saturdays market. Steel
and Studebaker moved up about
point and Wright Aero 4 points in
the first half-hour.
That Studebaker's dividend rate
will go up in the early part OF this
year was the confident prediction
of the bulls today, as they rushed
in with a handful Of money to buy
all the stock offered around 50.
Studebaker has moved up Is
points since the December break
and has been widely tipped to cross
par on this move, which has thus
far encountered no obstacles over
which it could not ride. Chrysler
and General Motors sold off about
a point.

FARMERS PAINT RING

How to keep farm buildings spick
and span by painting was a problem
which has been solved to the entire
satisfaction of Wisconsin farmers,
members of the Jefferson County
Farm Bureau. Taking advantage of
the state cooperative laws, twenty
five men organized a paint ring"
with each taking shares at $40 per
share. From the proceeds of the
shares sales, paint spraying ma
chine was purchased and a crew
was sent out to appy fresh coats OF
paint to farmhouses and other struc-
lures badly in need of protection
against the elements. The cost OF
the machine is being returned to the
organizers of the ring as the result
of the charge made for its use. Any
Farm Bureau member may arrange
for the service of the machine. An
average saving of $100 over the cost
of hand painting has been effected IN
each of the As cases where paint has
been applied by spraying. 1t Is
claimed that better work was done
by machine painting than by other
means, as the pressure of the spray
forces the paint into the tiny crew
ices of weather-beaten buildings. In
a number of instances, farmers had
every structure on their farms
painted.

WHEN FAULT BECOMES A
MENACE

A fault which may be considered
trifling under some circumstances,
may become downright criminal in
others. In the old days when man
got drunk he went off by himself
and quietly lay on bed or in a gut
ter until he got over it. If a man
now gets drunk he often drives an
automobile and the situation is very
different. Such a man should be
withdrawn from circulation, and for
a good long time, in the interests of
humanity.
1t is not the man who goes out
with the intention of driving his car
into another car, or over some per-
son, who causes auto accidents.
There are no such persons. 1t is the
fellow who is careless or thoughtless
who is to blame. Part of this care
lessness lies in ignoring physical de-
formities, or taking chances with
them. The Belgian Academy OF
Medicine has pointed out a number
of physical disabilities which should
disqualify a person from having a
drivers license. Among these are
waulty vision and hearing, loss OF
the use of a limb, nervous diseases
mental disorders-and drunken
ness. These things must be consld-
ered.-The Pathfinder.

would be called bad boy and told
he must never, never do such a
thing again. He'd be taken down
stairs and shut into some sort of
cage or prison and only a good cry
would ease his little heart.
Now climbing steps is something
every child has to learn. Why will
tired mothers insist on carrying
heavy children up a staircase when
they are able to scramble up them
selves?
The average infant is intelligent.
He soon knows where danger lies.
When you or daddy are playing with
him, show him how to come down
stairs as we'll as to climb them. Let
the child go up few steps and then
coax him with toy or biscuit to get
back to the level again. He soon
learns. Then let him climb to the
top while the teacher sits down a
few steps below. Ask him to come
down to you. He will soon get ac-
customed to starting from that diz-
zy height. You will be surprised to
find how soon he masters the en-
tire performance.
Self-help, self-confidence - these
are the birthright of every child.

CAN A SUPREME COURT JUDGE
BE REMOVED FOR
INCOMPETENCY?

There is no constitutional method
by which justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States can be re-
moved for mere incomptency. These
officers can be removed only for i'm
proper official conduct, such as trea-
son, bribery and other high crimes
and misdemeanors. Impeachment by
the House of Representatives and
trial by the Senate is the only meth
cd of removal prescribed. Legally
even an insane judge would have a
right to remain on the bench, unless
it became necessary to incarcerate
him. In fact there has been one case
of this kind. Associate Justice Hen
ry Baldwin of Pennsylvania, who
was a member of the Supreme Court
of the United States from 1880 to
1874, often exhibited an alienation of
MIND, according to records left by
John Quincy Adams and Daniel Web
ster. Notwithstanding his impaired
mental faculties Justice Baldwin re-
mained on the bench and regularly
took part in the decisions until his
death. The danger to the course of
justice was not great, because the
deranged member had only one vote
and his colleagues could easily pre-
vent any undesirable effect his opin-
ion might have on the decisions

The startling price of $44.OOO 1or

And a significant thing about 1t is
that this "highboy" was made IN

In other words, our native an

THE CLIMBING BABY
Mary Elizabeth Thomson

There comes a great day in the
life of every child: the day when he
first discovers the stairs for him
self. He has been carried up and
down that queer contrivance many
times, but the stairs didn't seem
very real. He was more taken up
with watching for the pretty pic
lures on the wall or gazing up
wards at what was going on above
his head.
But this day as he is creeping
around he finds an open door. OF
course an open door is direct in
vitation. There may be wonderful
things on the other side of that
door. There are.
He doesn't go very far before he
discovers the first step of the
stairs. Here is a nice low seat for
him to climb on. He simply has to
get up on to it. Then he sees an
other one. He must get up on that,
too.
And so he mounts, higher and
higher, till he finds himself at the
top with no more steps to climb.

he turns around and looks down
wards he can't resist chuckling
with glee before he proceeds to fur

Mothers ears, ever on the alert,

she hurries to find her precious in

takes him in her arms and calls him
clever, wandering darling or some
thing of the sort. The baby of
such a mother knows what pure joy
is.
But there are other mothers who
would arrive at the top of the
stairs in a state bordering on apo
plexy. They would scold the won
dering, triumphant child in the
strange way some mothers have of
showing their affection. His little
hands would be slapped and he

URGES FULLER SKIRTS
FOR WOMEN PAST FORTY

Women past forty should wear
fuller skirts than the ordinary styles
so that they can sit down gracefully,
says Jane Warren Wells, fashion ex-
pert, who has just returned from
Paris.
Dresses fitted to the personality
as we'll as the hips and waist will
keep friends permanently guessing
as to a woman's actual age in
years." says Mrs. Warren, writing of
her discoveries in Farm & Fireside.
"The sleeveless, backless frocks, so
popular with young people today,
should be definitely avoided by the
woman who has arms too large or
too thin to be attractive" she con-
tinues. "Such types are sure to find
comfort in the little jackets made of
the same fabric as the dress. They
are becoming and conceal so beau
tifully any imperfections.
Slender mature women will de-
light in the fashionable berthas that
adorn shoulders and provide a soft,
graceful line. Thin chests will find
lacy, soft jabots veritable boon
and the surplice-front closing proves
a friend to the thin and stout as it
makes the front line less severe and
gives interest to an otherwise sim
pie dress.
Irregular hemlines allow hap
py compromise in skirt lengths and
should be taken advantage of by
older women. - They are especially
becoming for women with good taste
in shoes and who buy with discrim-
ination stockings of the right color
and who take pride in seeing that
there are no wrinkles"

FARM WOMAN TAKES TRIP
IN HER GUEST BEDROOM

A two weeks vacation spent in a
spare bedroom is the unique expert
ence related by Ellen A. Hamilton, a
farm woman, in Farm & Fireside.
Mrs. Hamilton's funds were too low
to take a New England trip that
she had long planned, but her
health being delicate, she felt that
she must have a rest. First she
bought two new dresses and stocked
the house with food that required
little cooking, then packed a suit
case as for trip, gathered up a
package of books on New England
travel and moved into the guest
room which she had never occupied.
Each afternoon took a leisurely
BATH" Mrs. Hamilton writes, "and
poked as much as 1 pleased with my
dressing. 1 wore all my new things
and had plenty of time to curl my
hair. There was time for reading
but there was no sock darning, you
can bet. At the end of two weeks
felt like different person and that
vacation cost us little except a few
extra dollars on the grocery bill"

PLAYING FAIR
Ethel G. Peterson.

l had a chance recently to teach a
small boy the ethics of square deal
ing. 1t happened this way. 1 had a
! load of wood, small stuff, piled up
on my curb. Don, who is nine, and
husky little chap, asked for the
work of putting it into my cellar. 1
told him he might put it in on Sat
urday, and 1 would pay him seventy
five cents.
Don, boy-like, went out and boast
ed to the other fellows in the neigh
borhood about his job and how rich
he was going to be. Presently over
came the little boy from next door,
sent by his elder brother and sister
who were twins.
Ibid you promise Don the job of
putting in your wood?" he asked.
Eyes, did, Richard"
"Why?"
Because he came and asked me
for it. That wood lay out there sew
eral days, and nobody else said a
word about putting it in"
"Oh."
Richard retreated to hold whis-
pered conference with the twins out
in the yard, and in a few minutes
was back again.
Gould we have the job of putting
it in?"
"Now, when I've promised it to
Don?"
He hung his head, but answered,
Eyes"
"Well, Richard" 1 said, suppose
you think about it. If you had been
promised a job for a certain day,
and expected to have it, what would
you think of another boy who tried
his best to get it away from you?
And what would you think of the
person who had promised the work
to you if she broke her promise and
gave it to this other boy? Would
you think these people were fair?"
Richard colored up, and whisper
ed, mo, don't suppose So"
"All right" 1 said, then you
know 1 can't give that job to you
and the twins. And I'm surprised
that any one of you would try to
get me to do such an unfair thing.
When 1 have another load of wood,
come over first and ask for the job,
if you want it, and you'll probably
get, it."
So ended that lesson, and I be-
lieVe it sank in. Children might
just as well learn early the ethics
which they must practice in the
business world to insure success.

THE OLD PATH

Upon my grass grown stony way
The children used to laugh and
play,
Bare feet were stubbed and mudpies
made,
But that was long ago, I'm afraid.
I'm old, so old that forget
The time 1 first the children met,
For in those days Of sweet content,
1 was just a path to Grandma's
bent.
Those days are gone forevermore,
And in their stead to Grandma's
door
There lies a walk all smooth and
white,
Made of cement and watertight.
No more do children linger near,
But pass right by without a cheer,
No more are barred the little feet
For now 1 am city street.
Of course I've got to be content
AS paE of a new development,
But just the same if had my way,
I'd rather be path today.

Home Education
is PUNISHMENT TRAINING ?
Mary Starck Kerr.

Mary Starck Kerr.
There! that child is gone again;
I'm going after her with a switch. 1
have to spank her two or three
times a day for running away"
why spank her for running
away?" asked her friend. "Why not
fence up the back yard for her, and
give her something interesting to
do, so she will stay at home and
have good time? 1t would save
you both a good del of trouble"
II want to train her to do as she
is told" said the mother.
docs she seem to be responding
to your method?" asked her friend.
20, yes, she understands what she
is being punished for. She was play
ing with her dolly the other day,
and was spanking it. She said the
dolly 'runned away'i"
"That is only imitation. She has
not learned to stay at home by be-
ing spanked; she has learned to
spank her dolly. If she had learned
to stay at home, she would have
played that the dolly stayed at
home"
20, you have such queer IDEAS"
Zone should be willing to be queer
with the best educators of the coun-
try, and get results" Then, ap-
parently changing the subject, Have
you tied up your sweet peas yet?"
,"Yes, did it yesterday"
why did you tie them up? Why
didn't you whip them. and make
them stay up in that way"
Silly" said the young mother,
you have to tie them up to some
thing, so that they can take hold
and have some support
Little children are no more Ca
pable of doing as they are told with
out some help, than a vine is" said
the friend. TRY the plan 1 have
suggested. Give the child fenced
in yard and something to do. Have
another child with her part of the
time and let her feel your interest
even when you are busy. You will
find that she will soon form the
habit of being contented at home.
Punishment is not training, but in
telligent help is. Don't take my
word for it; try it and see."
The mother made no answer to
this but she took the little girl home
without spanking her. A few days
later there was a fence around a
section of her back yard, and the
little daughter had been provided
with interesting things to do.
