Dolly was first IN money won. OF the latter,
the Manual says:
From the standpoint of money won bv
mounts in 1929 Beyers surpassed all others
with $43,8l5. Byers has been for a long time
one OF the best steeplechase riders in the coun-
try. The name of another noted steeplechase
rider-R. H. Crawford-is missing from the
records of 1929"
The Temple -Gwathmey Memorial Steenle
chase at Belmont Park is one of the wears
biggest races. Byers won it with MacCarthy
Moore in rs, with Farmount in '26, '27 and 90

best record there, and first place would round

That the requisites of good steeplechase
Jockey are numerous is borne out by the fact
that there is a scarcity of topnotchers in the

designed especially for readers of this
paper The illustration shows clearly

line in the main part of the picture.
The lower inset pictures the unit con-
nected to form an undulating pattern.
In the upper right hand inset is found
the pattern as it would lie in stitchery
on q quilt.
The vine unit can be used as pictured
by cutting it out and lasting it onto
a piece of cardboard, and then cutting
the cardboard away along the edges of
the outline. This makes a cardboard

to complete the curving contour of the
stem. Note that the leaves always run
in the same general direction. This is
essential to make the pattern complete.
To insure the pattern making
straight band across a quilt, there must
be guiding lines. These are indicated
in the illustration by parallel dotted
lines. They must be 11a inches apart.

Pilfering.

Pilfering, stealing little things, is a
common fault in childhood. Nothing
brings such fear to the heart OF the
parents as this. The implications are
so bad. The penalty that society infiicts
upon the thief is so severe that parents
dread this fault more than any other.
Everything we do has its cause within
ourselves. 1t is not possible TO cnange
conduct without knowing the root OF it.
1t is not possible to train a child to
avoid doing one thing and to do some
thing else in its stead without knowing
first why he did the wrong thing. What
causes pilfering?
We believe that there are many
causes, one acts upon one sort OF child,
one on another. Somtimes there Is a
combination of causes at work in the
one child.
Feeling inferior will make child try
to piece out his power by adding wealth
to himself. What will cause him to feel
inferior? Any kind of failure.
4 child whose clothes are not as good
as those of the children he plays with
will feel inferior to them. Having less
money to spend than his mates. Crav-
ing for sweets that the diet does not
provide. An imbalance in the glands
of the body sets up desires for things
that are not within reach and he will
try to get them. Fear of any sort will
make a child feel inferior ana drive
him to compensate for it.
When a child is made unhappy at
home he searches for something to glad
den him. He may take money from
somebody's purse to provide a happy
hour He may shower gifts upon his
companions in order to show them that
his home is as wealthy as theirs, and
he is as powerful as they. He may do
the same thing because he cannot hold
his own with them in lessons, on the
playground. in their social activities.
He may take money because he needs
