Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Indisputable evidence of authorities
that allowances prevent dishonesty,
teach the child thrift and economy and
give him a necessary education in in
dependence outweighs whatever con-
vlncing arguments parents may mar
shall for failure to give their children
money allowance.
That demands proof, does it not? The
proof lies largely in what happens when
type of parent who says, wait until the
child can earn his own money" while
thrusting him daily into an environment
mot like that of his own childhood)
where money Is an absolute necessity.
There Is another type who hands out
coins In niggardly or generous amounts
as the whim strikes him, thus engender-
ing no respect for money, and then
wonders why the child filches small
coins from the family purse at any OPP
portunity.
If the child spends his money as if
the supply were endless, or steals coins
from his parents, certainly he has, by
their methods, built UP an erroneous
conception of money This will change
when he is given regularly a definite
amount of money, which he must learn
to manage in order to enjoy.

better twice, weekly the child should
have stated number of pennies for his
own small pocketbook. AT first, as is to
be expected, 1t will be spent foolishly,
but when it is all gone and mother takes
care that her own pocketbook can offer
no temptation TO the small child he will
learn to hang on to his money so that
he may spend it when the desire is
strongest. not just because he has it.
The size of the allowance grows with
the child and is relative to his needs at
the moment. Never provide such
small allowance that it assumes an ex-
aggerated Importance because of its in
adequacy, nor so large that the child
does not realize its Importance. One
Is as bad as the other
Children learn by doing, a fact which
parents can, with benefit, always keep
In mind. To spend money wisely they
must learn by the usual method of MAX
ing their own mistakes and profiting by
them. If the parent hands out IS cents
and says: Ten goes to the Sunday
school, ten to your school savings ana
five 10 your home bank" the child is
given only the experience of seeking his
money forever divided up without his
approval. He hasn't learned one thing
about the management of money.

to fight. All he wanted now was to

Everyday Psychology
The Criminal Mind.
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.


When things go wrong society begins
TO take an interest in why's" Just
now the Government is trying to find
out why crime and criminals are null
tiplying.
The experts are set to work and, of
course, lot of why's" will be found.
The truth about criminals lies some
where in the domain Of psychology.
Chiefly there.
People generally do the things they
think about, providing they think long
enough and often enough about them.
Men are, in the long run, as good or
as bad as their ideas and the control
they are able to exercise over those
ideas. That's the story that psychology
eventually will tell.
II is conceivable that the most law
abiding citizen can have the same ideas
as the man who commits crime. No
one has a monopoly on ideas as such.
No one knows who thinks what.
At the same time, ones mind Is
known only in terms of what one does.
And what one does Is surely nothing
more or less than ones ideas trans
formed into acts.
The thing that makes criminal mind
out Of a non-criminal mind is a loss
of control over ideas. Some criminals
have confessed that they were so en-
shaved by their ideas about crime that
they were driven to the crime even
against their desire to the contrary.
Most criminals. while serving their
time, are planning another crime
Modern penitentiarieS seem not TO be
able to teach men to control their ideas
so the so-called criminal mind lives on

bled that should be thrust from ones
memory. People who repeat to others
signs that will form recurrent ideas of
misfortune do actual harm. They in
still into anothers mind the thought OF
something evil or some misfortune that
is foretold by an occurrence that in
itself Is nothing at all unusual nor
foreboding
In speaking of superstitions that are
precautionary, the one about not walk
ing under q iedder is excellent. 1t Is
built upon a sound foundation. A per-
son walking underneath q ladder may
carelessly jar it and make the person
standing on it fall. Also there is the
possibility that the one on the ladder
may drop some article or tool which, OF
necessity. according to the laws of
gravitation. would fall in straight line
TO strike the ground.
If some one were walking beneath
the ladder he would get hit. In both
of these instances the misfortune would
happen and it would happen immedi-
ately. Unless the one on the ladder
was knocked down or some tool fell on
person beneath, no i'll could result.
Nevertheless, because of possibility of
such trouble is is wise to avoid walk
ing beneath ladder.
1t is we'll for a person to analyze
SuperStitions and realize the cause for
their development before swayed to a
belief in them Then avoidance of
trouble by needing the warnings that
they give Is sound good sense. Faith
In the superstition Is then replaced by
knowledge that danger may result by
going against warning put in terse
form. A blind belief In superstitions is
not only unwise, but unreasonable, and
therefore tends to lesson the power and
force of a persons character.

have made dill pickles at home, but
why should she bother, said she, when
they were SO good and so inexpensive

She took eight dill pickles and drained
them well and cut them in halves
lengthwise. Sometimes she cut them
into slices crosswise.
Then she measured one pound of
sugar, three-quarters cupful vinegar and
two tablespoonful mixed spices. She
tied spices in bag, boiled sugar and
vinegar with spices, added pickles
boiled for two minutes. Then she took
out spice bag and packed slices In clean
