POLITICAL KETTLE
BOILING OVER

DALLAS, May 3o-P- Various
and variant political aspects in
the Texas democratic gubernatorial
race were mingled in a complex
situation today, with r. s. Sterling
OF Houston, chairman of the state
highway commission, millionaire
publisher and businessman, as the
latest announced candidate.
Political statisticians faced the
problem OF trying TO compile an
accurate roster Of the number Of
men-and women-in the race,
puzzled to decide whether Sterling's
announcement yesterday at Houston
made him the twenty-second, the
fifteenth or the eighteenth candi-
date to announce, an unprecedented
number in the history Of Texas
politics.
Also there remained the poSsib-
iDty that Governor Dan Moody,
hitherto a close associate OF Sterl-
ing would announce his own can

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PArRI;

dren heading the wrong way? When
the mood is set right, when you see
that there Is an opportunity for q word
Of caution, give it kindly, without hint
Of authority or Of force. Speak with
respect to this new personality and it
will respond in time.
You see you had 10 or more years
In which to do your teaching and set
your background. Now that time has
passed. You cannot have it again.
Whatever teaching you did stays. The
background that you set holds. If 1t
is q good one then the child's conduct
VIII reflect 1t. There is nothing that
you can do directly now to make the
child go one way or another. 1t is best
not to try.
The relationship between parents and
grown-up children Is established in the
early years. If then you set the child
toward confidence in your word, in your
wisdom and in your affection for him,
he will not turn from you in the day
OF his maturity. He will continue to
trust you, to conf1de in you, and, on
rare occasions, ask your advice.
Parting from the children is the
tragedy of motherhood. But every
mother knows that from the day of the
child's coming his feet are turned away
from her and from home. He was
born to his own adventure. When he
starts out there is no turning him
back Do what you would do early
and hope for the best.
