The younger children in such a family do not have a fair chance. Their efforts to assert themselves are swamped by the dominating cld- est child. Unless they are helped to hold their own they are apt to de- velop into pale. intellectual individu- als who hay. lacked the self assur- ance to follow their own modes of expression and who suffer always under a profound sense of infstior- ity.
 One of the best ways to counter the favored child spends a good share if his time away from the family circle. He should be encour- aged to go to the nearby playground. there to play with his equals.
 He should be urged to join club and to take an active part in all its doings. If there are relatives who would like him to visit them for a few weeks. he should, by all means, go. If the family purse can stand it.. he should be sent to summer camp.
 The type of child we are discus sing will thrive under such treat ment. while the other children will get the additional attention and sense Of importance which they need. They will have a chance to de- velop without being overshadowed constantly by the superior ability and greater energy of their older brother.

can see where I'm going to be need ed upon this momentous occasion. Ugaally Me don't meddle in no fam lily rows, but this time is going to be an exception. Don't you dare sec your loving husband alone until after we've had 8 joint interview with him. Don't double for startled fawn. I'm not going to have any fracas with him. I'm just going to prevent one, that's all.'
 That's awfully good of you" l said weakly, much annoyed with myself for the lack of courage which made me so relieved at her announced decision. But with all the details upon my shoulders of trans ferring our tempestuous household from the farmhouse to the hotel. l had felt unutterably dismayed at the prospect of adding one of Dicky's tantrums to my load.
 Good to myself, you mean" she retorted. "I always did covet lion- tanners job. and simply love to crack the whip over the Dicky- birds crest. But you seem to have done a pretty good job of animal tanning yourself. Phil was as meek as lamb when you brought him back to the beach. I looked to see where the blue ribbon was tied about his neck. How did you man. age it?"
 Lil Guesses the Truth
 You had prepared the way" l reminded her. You had already ab- solved me and told him that I was acting under orders from you and MT. Underwood. So. having no re- sentiment against me for barring him from the farmhouse today. ] was able to convince him of the necessity of your precautions. He was most tractable,"

 Don't take it out on the car, old dear" she said. I'm the one who needs smacking. Honest, I didn', mean to say it. The words just popped out. But you'll have to get over being so thin-skinned. Every body in your world knows that Phil Neritzen is half off his head about you, but. as I've told you before, if you play the game right you can manage so that he'll keep to the romantic. but safe. pastime of cner- ishing hopeless heartbreak for an unattainable star"

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Fly.
 gcia, the Health Nagaxfne

~'AUN0SOaAAN
 Long before the establishment of the modern science of pharmacology with a knowledge of the specific actions of various drugs. old women picked herbs in the fields for the relief of human ailments and doc tors developed combinations of rem- edies for the attack on disease.
 In the middle ages the healers developed a prescription called 'theriac." This was q shotgun remedy supposed to aid every pos- sible disorder. Some of the theri- acs had hundreds of ingredients. including the by-products of many animals, reptiles and human beings Obviously. these preparatios were nauseating as to odor, impossible as to taste, and indeed not infrequently terrible in color.
 The whole idea behind the use of medicine that was so foul was the belief that the spirit of the dis ease could not exist in the same hu- man being with the medicine. One is reminded of the fact that the in- vasion of residence by the little black and white striped animal 50 obnoxious to human beings is al- nostinvariably followed promptly by the departure of all the human be- ings
 The next step in the concoction of strong medicines was to put in a considerable dosage of alcohol. This invariably had a kick-a kick that could be felt within a few minutes and which made the individual be- lieve that something definite was being done for him. The taking of such medicines gave feeling of warmth and Of stimulation which. no doubt. aroused confidence in the patient and helped considerably in controlling his disorder.
 Nevertheless. these remedies were not specific in any sense of the word. since the taking Of alcohol has not been found of specific virtue in the control of any disease. Modern sci- entific medicine therefore adminis- ters its drugs not infrequently in small tablets or in capsules or iu pleasant tasting mixtures withou. odor. for the simple reason that the remedy is given to produce a defi- mite physical effect and not primar- lily for the mental effect.
 A drug such as digitalis invariably slows the heart and strengthens it's beat: antipyretics, such as phenace- tin and aspirin lower the fever; the analgesics. like pyramidon and ace- tanilid. stop pain: the sedatives, like the bromides and barbituric acid substances. make people less stimu- lated and encourage sleep: the an- esthetics. like ether. chloroform and ethylene, make people unconscious.
 These scientifically established remedies. which do not depend on odor to taste or quality. have ac- tual effects.

 Lillian made no comment what ever upon our colloquy with Philip Verityen until we were we'll upon the road to the farm and had re- ceived my employers waved adieu as his limousine passed us and went on its way toward his hotel. Then she gave a throaty chuckle and motioned me to reduce the speed of the car.
 I've no intention of sharing the fate of the cat which died of curios- ity." she said Tell me immediately. Where in Tophet did you see the Dicky-bird and why was he trying his wings out in this direction? l didn't say a word. even to Harry, why we were going-just told Katie to tell him We were running down to Bridgehampton Beach and would be back inside of two hours. That gave him a working idea of our whereabouts. but no disturbing in- formation which he could pass on to the Dicky-bird. Harry wouldn't mean to spill any beans. but they hunt in couples. you know"
 That's what Dicky said to Mr. Neritzen about you and me a few minutes ago." I commented slyly.
 She stared at me. could feel her
 
 eyes from the road before me. and then she gave short. amused laugh.
 That's sure a gridironed one" she commented, but it isn't keep ing me from an early death. Come on. broadcast the bulletins about the Dicky~bird."
 There isn't much to tell you" said truthtully, but what there was proved . bit embarrassing for me. Mir. Veritzen proposed going for tea to that inn where Noel and I dined. saying sensibly that we could talk better there than in the car. When we were coming out we met Dicky coming in the door"
 Lillian strengthened herself with jerk.
 Dicky's Queer Game
 'Now what. by the gray hairs in Isaac's beard, was the Dicky-bird doing at that inn at that time or day?" she inquired. Well, suppose we'll know when we get back to the farm. H probably give me line on I'll tip you off. But l don't el OIL the next few hours. old dear Oi. l know he didn't make any scene"-as I opened my lips to protest. He, no doubt, distanced Phil in elaborate courtesy. But that doesn't mean he isn't boiling inside and is keeping the fire hot under the kettle until he next sees you.

Peter Rabbit sat on the bank of the Smiling Pool. staring in the most impolite manner at the two birds on the water just below him. A mo- ment before, when he had turned his head. there had been but one there. When he had looked back there were two. To make 1t more perplexing, they looked just alike They looked as if they might be twins. They were not. however. be- cause one of them-and that one he knew was Dipper the Grebe had just said: Meet Mrs. Grebe, Peter Rabbit" The trouble was Peter Rabbit didn't know which one had spoken.
 T am pleased to meet you. Mrs Grebe." said P-ter. trying to be po- lite, all the time wondering which vas Mrs. Grebe.
 Just as Pete: spoke. Rattles the kingfisher flew overhead. making that harsh. rattIing sound that no one but he can make. Peter looked up. When he looked down again there was but one of the Grebys in sight. "Oh!" exclaimed Peter. Where has Mrs. Grebe gone"
 Mrs. Grebe is right here. thank you" was the reply.
 Peter felt foolish and looked it. Excuse me-" said he. Please cx- euse me. thought you were Dipper. Where has he gone?"
 Now Peter. no matter how much interested he may be. doesn't forget to watch out for danger. Sitting out there on the open bank of the Smil- ing Pool. he knew that he could easily be seen from conside, able distance by some of his enemies. Therefore, he must be extra watch ful. He turned his head for a has;y look behind him. to make sure that Eeddy Fox was nowhere in sight. Then he turned back to speak to Mrs. Grete once more.
 Did you come up from the Sunny South with Dipper??" he inquired very politely.
 '1 couldn't have come without him." was the reply.
 Why not?" inquired Peter.
 "For the very good reason that am Dipper," was the prompt re- sponse.
 But you just said that you were Mrs. Grebe." protested Peter.
 "Oh. no I didn't" replied Dipper. Tt was Mrs. Grebe herself who said that
 Once more Peter turned his head for hasty look around and then when he once more looked down m the water if vas to find that noith- CT Grebe was fhere. Both had dis. appeared completely. Peter stared this way and stared that way. H, couldn't see a sign Of either one. H. b"gar 70 get provoked. He stamped lis feet on the bank impatientIy '1h " are just having fun with me" said he. Al that very instant 8 head popped out Of the water in front of him.
 Who is having fun with you ?' demanded a voice. and Peter was furs that il was the voice of Dipper she GreDe.

Tn family where there arc two or more children it often happens that one child seems 10 carry the assurance. the zest and aggressive ness for all.
 Especially is this likely to be true when the eldest child is also the one who Is the greatest satisfaction to his parents. The advantage then is all his. As he eldest he feels his inn portance. His attainments naturally are superior to those of his younger brothers and sisters. In spite of their advent he has succeeded in holding the center of the stage and has crowded them into the background No wonder they are overwhelmed.

 Please do not call me Dipper." interrupted the Grebe. ''I am not Dipper; am Mrs. Grebe. What were you going to say?'
 By this time Peter had forgotten what he was going to say. It was most annoying not to be able to tell Mir. and Mrs. Grebe apart. And he wasn't quite sure yet just how it was that they managed to appear and disappear in such a mysterious manner. "I don't care which you are." said Peter. I'm glad you're here and I hope you'll stay. So please do stop teasing me"

Frontier Indeed

Speaking at seventy-ffth anniversary of the
Marble Collegiate church in New York City, the Rev
DR.. Daniel A. Polling declared that the missionary
frontier of Christendom to be sought under the
white lights of Manhattan rather than in the junges
of Africa. He went on to say:
Fifth avenue is frontier Manhattan today is
a significant missionary challenge than it was
when the Half Moon sailed through the narrows."
There is no doubt DR.. Polling is correct. By the
of the increase of secular interests and di-
versions Manhattan island since Hudson arrived
we can determine the degree to which it has in
creased as a challenge to Christianity.
The conventional pastor looks upon New York as
challenge to Christendom, primarily because OF the
alleged wckedness and vices of this modern Sodom
To do so is to miss the main challenge of con-
temporary Gotham to the old religions.
What makes New York City indeed frontier OF
menacing proportions to Christianity is the vast in
of secular activities and interests which dis
tract from considerations relative to the welfare
and salvation of his soul. Few be won over to
rrelgion by direct argument. This process usually
but stiffens the believer in his faith.
But hosts gradually can be brought into state
of indifference to religion through the crowding in
of other interests which absorb their time and
attention.
AS the greatest concentration and symbol of mod
secularism, New York is the foremost challenge
to the Christian church today With its shops, the
aters opera houses, concert halls, dance halls
recreation spots stock exchange, brokerage houses
FORUMS great metropolitan dailies tabloids radios
and multitude of other things which claim the at
tention of the modern citizen, it does more to wear
from religion than all the writings of twenty gen.
erations of Skeptics and free thinkers.

Prison Reform

Several striking and dramatic prison riots took
Mace this summer 1t generally agreed that the
immediate cause in all cases was the overcrowdng,
irritation and hopessness brought about by long SEN
fences imposed under nabitual criminal acts
The rioters in Auburn prison have been brought to
trial before Judge Edgar S. Mosher. He imposed SEN
fences of ten years on some and others are awaiting
life sentences as habitual criminals The riotng is
charged against some the fourth felony which car
ries with it life imprisonment
Ten years added to previous sentence of twenty
wears or life is not likely to produce speedy reform on
the part of the rioters to ntmidate them. If has
any effect it is likely to be in the way of making
them all the desperate and the more ready to
seize upon favorable conditions start another riot
We are not criticising Judge Mosher. He probably
could not have done otherwise under the circum-
stances But in medicine today We do not cure ty
phoid fever by giving drugs which will produce mild
fever Rather we go to the root of the matter and
remove the sources of pollution of the water supply
Similarly we will not be likely to stop prison riots
merely by adding to the of rioters who rioted
in part because their sentences already too long
If desire to put stop to such occurrences, then
We should start by removing those conditions and
processes which make criminals.
Pending achievement of this result We well might
