 Most of all he must protect him. self from being too much the dis ciplinarian. Mothers at their wits end with an obstrepcrous youngster too frequently use the threat, Just wait till your father gets home, he'll tend to you"
 Any father worthy of the name ought to insist that mother settle her own scores while he himself has chance to establish a good relationship with his children.

 The next story: Peter Finds Some Feathers"
New Britain herald., 1930-04-08

Peter Rabbit had arrived early at the Smiling Pool. The Black Shad cws had only Just started from the Purple Hills behind which jolly, round. red MT. Sun was going to bed. There wasn't sv much as a rip pie on the surface of the Smiling Fool. Peeper the Hyla and his rela- tives, and Stiekytoes the Tree Toad and his relatives had started their evening concert. As Peter sat there. he saw the brown head of Jerry Muskrat as Jerry swam across the Smiling Pool, and two lines of sil- yer seemed to follow him. But, though Peter looked and looked, hl couldn't see one of the Quacks.
 Peter was greatly disappointed You see, he had felt sure of find ing MT. and Mrs. Quack anyway He knew that the rest of the flock might have moved on. but he was sure that MT. and Mrs. Quac'l would not have left the Smiling Pool. for they had said they were going to stay while. By and by Jerry Muskrat swam over near Pe- ter. Hello, Jerry." said Peter.
 Hello, your own self" replied Jerry. Ut seems 10 me you've been spending lot of time around the Smiling Pool lately
 "Oh," replied Peter, q like to come over here and see what is go- ing on. By the way what has be- come of all those Ducks that wera here?"
 They've gone,' replied Jerry.
 "so I Judged" replied Peter dry ly. When did they so and where did they go and why did they go?"
 Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Peter!" exclaimed Jerry Muskrat. Don't ask me questions that are none of my business. l don't know why they went. nor where theT went lud, what is more, I don't care. l can tell you when they went. It was the first thing this morning"
 And haven't they come back once ouElnS the day' inquired Peter.
 No" replied Jerry, "and I don't think they will come back for q lcng time. They started off as if they were going somewhere a long vay from here. For my part, I'm glad they've gone. There wasn't any peace in the Smiling Pool while tEey were here.'
 Did MT. and Mrs. Quack go with them 2" Peter persisted.
 How should 1 know" replied Jerry rather grossly. 'I don't kecp watch of my ncighbors to sec what they do. Mir. and Mrs. Quack cam with them and presume they went with them. I know of no reason why they wouldn't so with them.

 To my last moment of conscious ness l shall not forget my feeling of utter helplessness as our car began to skid upon the precipitous noun tain road. It vas not so much fright which obsessed mel really did not visualize death--it was rather a fierce anger at my own impotence to do anything which would stop that deadly circular motion.
 had been descending the hill so slowly, in first speed, that the car did not crash against the mountain side as it surely would have done if we had been coming down more rapidly. A rebound like that would have sent us hurting through the fence on the other side and hurled us to certain death far below. But as it was, its impact against the mountainside at the end of our cir cular movement, was a slancing blow, only sufficient to turn the ma chine almost completely around so that we were facing the upward slope, but perilously near the preci- pice. The engine had stalled and the car was slipping backward. With a little fatalistic feeling, l put on the emergency brake and the backward sliding stopped.
 Safe for the Moment
 For a breathless fraction of sec ond I sat motionless, dazed. Then l got hold of myself again, for with me a motoring danger over is one forgotten, and turned around with a smile.
 well! we're heren I said inana- ly, but snatching at the first words which came into my mind. Lillian was deadly pale, but her eyes were unflinchins, and she managed a wrath of a smile in answer to mine.
 That's all that matters she said. But what do we do now, climb the mountain again."
 T think here's where Yale goes into a huddle, n'est-ce pas, Auntle Madge?" Mary demanded with q wide grin, and I saw that she had not been frightened at all.
 "Yes. I'm content to sit perfectly still for a minute or two" told her.
 Mind if I set out of the car and take a look at the rest of thjs down-hill slope?" she asked.
 Not a bit, but wait a second.' I turned off the ignition of the stalle l engine and threw the gear lever into first.
 Ut can't slide back on you, now" I told her. This emergency is good, but I don't want to take any chances. And be careful. It's dark down that road. The lights ara turned up the slope now, instead of down."
 But the snow makes everything perfectly visible" Mary replied as she climbed down from the car.

Precious Moments By Alice Judson Peale

The American father has a repu- tation the world over of being easy going, generous, and kindly.
 His children call him by affec- tionate nick names and it seems as if he were everything that father should be.
 But American fathers more than any others are welded to the busi- ness of making money and during their childrens most impression able years they have little time fo- their families. They give their children everything except them- selves, a loss for which no amount of economic security in later years can compensate.
 But, of course, tho American business man has and will con- tinue to have with his children only a few precious moments, the glimpse at breakfast, the dinner hour, and little while afterwards, and week ends.
 Because the hours which he may

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

change. It Is really a matter of growth.
Perhaps 1t Is physical growth gone
wrong. Sometimes a child's teeth will
give great pain and uneasiness and the
child, scarce knowing what Is wrong,
complains and clings. Or 1t may be that
the diet is wrong Any number OF
things may be going wrong and the
best thing to do is to ask a child spe-
cialist to look the troublesome child
over and try to find out what ails him
1t may be that the home training
has been inadequate. You see a little
| child changes rapidly as his body grows
Every day sees little advance over its
, yesterday. We, so busy with our thou
sand-and-one cares, have not noticed,
have not kept step with the childs
growth. We are still treating the child
as six-month baby when he is a
twelve-month child. That is a source
of trouble.
Diet, health habits, self-help, self
reliance, outside interests, all must be
fostered in the little child according to
his growth. II we overlook the phase of
growth and do not supply 1t with what
it needs to stimulate and guide mental
growth and consequent power of body
and mind, we make mistake and rue
1t when 1t comes home to use in the
form Of the trying, troublesome child.
There Is a time to teach a child to
play by itself: to use its own toys; to
help itself. If we keep on helping the
child long after 1t is able to help itself
If we thwart its efforts to help itself be-
cause we are too impatient, because we
think we have not time to wait, we are
going to be sorry because when the
child Is older he will still be thinking he
Is an infant. His thought of himself is
set by what he knows of himself.
II he is allowed to believe that he Is
helpless. dependent, baby, he is not to
blame if, when he Is 4 and years old
| ready by time standard and physical
| standards for school, he is but the q
year-old baby dependent upon his
mother. Begin early to let. the child
| grow by personal experiences.
| Little children must have other chill
| dren to play with or they will make
their mothers lives unbearable. Grown
up people cannot be satisfying compan-
| ions for little children. This is another
cause for troublesome children. Train
ing. companionship, outdoor play good
diet, long sleep, healthy letting alone
and the troublesome child will not be-
| long TO you.

May -, 1s65.-Gen. Shermans army
today passed in review along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and before President john
son and Lieut.. Gen. Grant, who were
seated in the main pavilion in front of
the White House. As on yesterday, when
the Army Of the Potomac was reviewed,
immense throngs filled the sidewalks
and occupied the windows, balconies
and housetops, wherever a view of the
marching soldiers from the Western and
Southern battlefields could be obtained.
The two wings Of the Army-the
right wing, composed of the Army Of
Tennessee, Maj. Gen. Logan command
ing, and the left wing, composed of the
Army of Georgia, Maj. Gen. Slocum
COMMUNICATIVE last night,
cooked rations in their haversacks, on
the Virginia shore Of the Potomac
River near the Long Bridge, with the
right In advance.
At daylight this morning the troops
moved by the right flank, crossed the
bridge and marched to the streets east
Of the Capitol. BY 8 o'clock both armies
of Shermans command were formed in
the streets contiguous to the Capitol,
ready for the order to march in review.
The signal gun was fred at o o'clock.
The column passed around the Capitol
and down the hill to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., westward on the avenue, between
cheering crowds and before the re-
viewing stand erected in front of the
White House. The troops moved with
unfurled colorS and arms at right
shoulder shift until they had passed
the Treasury Department, when they
brought their arms to q shoulder with
bayonets fixed They were returned to
men had passed the White House.
Gen. Sherman, accompanied by Gen.
Howard, whose empty sleeve spoke elo-
quently Of the past, rode little in ad-
vance of his staff at the head of the
great double army. The officers of his
staff carried bouquets of flowers in their
hands, and their horses were decorated
with flowers.
After passing the President, Gen.
Sherman, with Gen. Howard, rode to the
west entrance of the White House, dis
mounted and joined the group on the
main stand. The marching hosts con-
tinued their progress down the Avenue
all day long.
After Gen. Sherman, the next high
ranking officer was Gen. Logan, who
rode at the head of the Army of Ten
nessee. He was on a magnificent gray
horse. Swarthy and erect, he looked
the beau ideal soldier. Gen. Slocum,
riding at the head of the Army of
Georgia, followed later in his turn, his
hands filled with flowers. He presented
that same martial appearance that was
manifest on the battlehelds of Chancel-
lorsville and Gettysburg.
Every officer who wore an empty
sleeve or otherwise showed that he had
been wounded, received extra cheers
from the enthusiastic throngs of specta-
tors.
Two "contraband" boys, riding dimin-
utive white mules, at the head of a
large pack of horses and mules, brought
up the rear of the End Division of the
goth Corps and caused shouts of laugh
ter. This was part of the celebrated
flying transportation department" of
Sherman's Army on its famous march
to the sea and northward from

salloW Skin.

Dear Miss Leeds: Q) The skin On
my face Is very sallow and full Of pores
that look like blackheads. My eyes
are very dull. Can you suggest some
thing that might make them brighter
and my complexion better? My eyes
are always heavy looking, my skin dead
looking and my hair has no luster and
looks drab and nfeless. CD My hands
are very rough and red. What can I
put on them to make them smooth and
white? go After use makeup my face
feels hot and dirty and I cannot keep
powder on my skin. So am always
making-up. MRS. RUTH G. H.
Answer-Dull. heavy eyes and . sallow
complexion and dull looking hair tndi-
cate that your whole system needs O
general overhauling and toning UP.
Your health in general Is far below par,
and tho first item on your beauty prob
lem should be q thorough physical ex-
animation by your physician to discover
internal disturbances. Another factor
that must be taken into consideration
before you can expect results Is this: Do
you spend some time out Of doors in the
fresh air and sunshine, and do you take
some brisk exercise every day? Are you
yourself happy and alert? Ones state
of mind has much to do with the health
in general and the condition Of the skin,
hair and eyes. SO my message to you.
dear woman, Is look to your health in
general and at the same time try the
external beauty aids. This dual method
is necessary If you are to solve your
beauty problems.
And now for local treatment. Every
night at bedtime cleanse your skin with
q lightweight cleansing cream or oil.
This would loosen up the surface dust
and makeup. Wipe Off the surplus
cream with a tissue square or q clean
piece of cloth. Next wash your face
with warm water and mild soap.
Lather it two. or three times, rinsing
each soaping in warm water. Then
wiring out small turkish towel in hot
water and hold it over the face for few
seconds. Repeat the hot application
two or three times. If there are any
large blackheads, press them out gently,
using a comedo extractor or your fingers
covered with a clean handkerchief. Do
not bruise the skin. however, by using
too much pressure.
Next mix one heaping teaspoonful Of
boric acid in one pint Of boiling water.

to see what was the matter that her
chick had not q hair on her head. And
then one day she saw a soft fuzz, Just
like down, and, oh joy, 1t looked as
though 1t would be curly. Lois called
Roger excitedly and broke the news to
him.
Even though Lois took life easily she
did not slump. She had seen too many
young mothers who lost their figure
completely. She had always admired
Nancy's slirnness. How did you get
back your straight lines, Nancy? I feel
so let down."
"Heres how, Lois. Lie fiat in bed
with no pillow under your head. Raise
the right leg straight in the air. Do 1t
five times. Then raise the left leg. Do
this five times, too.
Now put the two legs together and,
keeping them straight, lift them to-
gether. Keep them closely parallel
Raise and lower them five times. Do
this every day.
"a little later you can try the old ex-
ercise Of touching floor with fingers
without bending knees. Exercises such
as these strengthen and tone sagging
muscles. You don't need to bulge or
slump just because you are the mother
Of Ann. Be the kind of mother she
will be proud of later on"

the diet for the young mother. Write to
