Little things often prove to bg most useful even more useful than some bigger things that seem more important It is so all through lIfn. You never know how soon some bit Of knowledge may become Of the greatest possible use 10 you. So never oveIook and never scorn It, tie things.
 Jerry Muskrat had told Stumpy, his three-legged son. that h. would show him way to breathe under the ice without going 10 the bank where almost always + I.'h. air is 10 be found under tho i.r- Stumpy reminded Jerry of tJ- us they were preparing to go lOO.. for some roots of water plants in The mud at the bottom Of the SmIuE Pool. You said that Ii thsrr wasn't any air under the edge Of the bank beneath the ice there would still be way to breathe. ] don't sec how that IS possible" sad Stumpy.
 It is little trick worth know ing" replied Jerry. 'Th,re arc many uv1c tricks that come A, handy all tNroa-b ltrr- Tnia - Quo. It might 4aye your lHs sometime.
 "Tll take &our uord for that" re- piled Sunny. Now what is inc trlck?'
 You follo" me outside and do just as I do.' said Jerry. T am go- ing to let my breath out, but no- tice just where and how 1 do 1t and how I take It n again. Then you do the same"
 He led the way outside and Sunny followed. Instead ot head ing for either bank Jerry swan straight up to the ice that covered the Smiling Pool, making sort Of roof. Any way that is what sunny Called it. and ! guess Stumpy wasn't far wrong. Straight Up 10 the ice swan Jerry and put his nose against it. Then he lat ogr his breath. The air made a little bubble against the ice, for of course 1t could not es- cape. Jerry waited. Then he took in that bubble of air; took It back in to his lungs breathed 1t in,
 Now an interesting thing had happened. When he had let that air out from his lungs it had been i'm pure, bad. All the goodness of it had been used up. When that bad air had formed that bubble against the ice it had there become purified again by the freezing O. tine water just there. So it had become good to once more take into the lungs and Jerry had drawn 1t in, Jerry didn't know how that air had been made again and he didn't care how it had been done; it was enough tor him that it had been done, v Stumpy tried 1t, He did just as Jerry had done. He had q queer feeling when he let his breath go. He had a feeling that he never would get it back again and so would drown. But when he drew that little bubble in again he knew that all was well 0f course he couldn't sly anything there under water. but just as soon as he waa back in the house he began asking questions.
 "Where did you learn that trick!' he asked.
 "Oh." replied Jerry. that is an

 It is the parents task to try to understand his child, to know sy1n- patheticaIly his ambitions; to sec realistically his limitations, and to open 10 him such opportunities as he may profit by, 10 love him un- failingly and well.
 To see the task of parenthood in this light is to spare the child from being forced toward goals im- possible to attain and from enter taning ambitions doomed at the outset to isappointment.

Us. STATISTICS
ON TRADE AIDS
COMMERCE
Best System Of Collection In
World Set Up by Mr.. Hoover
When Head of Department

One Of the distinct advan.
tages held by American business
over the cheaper labor countries
in. Europe and other parts OF
the world is an almost day-to-day
knowledge of exact industrial
conditions, making possible &C
curate planning, proper handling
OF invoices and sales efforts.
This Was the opinion today OF
o high official of the Federal
reserve system, who recently has
had an opportunity to examine
the economic fabric of European
countries. He held this out as
one Of the factors in the an.
ticipated economic recovery in
the United States.
Masses of Statistics
Led by the Department Of Com
merce during the regime Of Mr..
Hoover as secretary, system Of
statistics collection was estab-
lished that is the most complete
Of the kind In the world. Elab-
crate statistical data also are is
sued by the Federal reserve board,
and the Agricultural and Labor
departments.
Besides q mass of statistics put
out by the Census and other bu-
reaus, reflecting the condition Of
production, stocks. orders, prices,
raw materials and general condi-
tions, not only in this country
but abroad, q weekly publication
Is issued by the Commerce De
partment containing many items
OF interest to business men.
For instance the issue this
week deals with such situations
as bad debt loss ratios computed
for open and instaliment credit
sales: the practice of radio stores
in remaining open late Saturday
night: coffee profits and their
relation to merchandising prac-
tices; business indicators; plans
for model small groceries: the
personal attention Of proprietors
to soda fountains and many
others.
Credit Losses Low
As to credit it was disclosed
that in department stores the
ratio Of bad debts to total open
credit sales was only OIL for q
recent period. For inStallment
sales the ratio was .05 per cent.
On open credit the losses ranged
highest in clothing, dry goods
and furs. In inStallment buying
the ratio Of bad debt losses to
total sales was greatest for gen
eral clothing.
The report said that the
Census Bureau planned to furn-
ish preliminary reports for each
industry a short time after re-
ceipt without awaiting a verifica-
ton, thus furnishing q fairly 1p.
to-date picture Of the industrial
situation.
