An interested gallery Of 800
watched Ed Bieber and Bits"
Horner put on a great bicycle
show in the Century Road Clubs
annual spring meet at the
Potomac Park yesterday. These
two rip-snorting pedal-pushers
were the leading figures in the
three events staged. However,
they had to take a back seat in
the five-mile handicap, as Bob
Connor, riding for the first time
in several months, and Herbert
Ferris. promising novice, came
in first and second. They were
both favored by a generous AIS
second start.
Bieber and HOrner, two
scratch men, staged a scintilIat-
ing duel for third place, with
Bieber barely winning. They
would have caught the handi.
cap men should they have gone
another lap, for they were
travelling at terrific pace.
The one-mile scratch race went
to Bieber, with Horner giving
him an argument all the way.
Bob Connor was a good third.
A miss-and-out event was
added for the spectators benefit.
It drew eight starters. Bieber
and Horner were the survivors
and again furnished a real thrill
by a flying neck-and-neck down
the stretch with Bieber nicking
the tape by a fraction of a sec
ond.
The threat of rain robbed the
meet of it's intercity floor, as the
Baltimore aces expected. includ-

their best game in the third

through for four tallies in quick
succession.

YOUR CHILDREN

Parents are so much more than friends to their children that it is impossible to measure them purely on the basis of friendship. But the idea of friendship as the most suc- cessful family relationship is stress ed by specialists, because not only is it the best and easiest way to ap- proach the child, but it solves so many difficulties for the parent.
 eff don't scold Billy" says his bewildered' mother, "how am go- ing to teach him to do things right and call his attention to the wrong things he has done? I have to keep right on after him if want to train him."
 And she is right. Of course she has to keep after him. But there are many ways of keeping after him besides bawling him out for every little thing he does.
 Varied Nfisdcmeanors
 Suppose Billy does something naughty. Perhaps he takes a peach from the sideboard when he has been forbidden to have one, or he drums on the piano and wakens the baby, or drags through mud pud- dle with his new shoes on; perhaps he does something even more seri- ous; he may have told you a story, or carried tales about his playmates or deliberately destroyed something.

"Jim couldn't have known about it." Gypsy insisted to herself. He wouldn't do such a thing. I know he wouldn't" She reviewed the scene with Marcia. It was true, of course, that now, the other girl was openly an enemy. What did that matter? "She hated me anyhow Gypsy thought. 1T don't care what she thinks or does. It's only Jim!" Out of that half hours reyerie new Gypsy came to. life. Marcia $ antagonism had been the spur to | bring about this transformation. She could not give up Jim to such shallow, selfish creatures.as Mar cia. She looked over the past weeks and saw her mistakes. How easy she had made it for Marcia! Her own impersonal manner, her feel | ing that she had no real fclaim on Jim had provided the opportunity Marcia was watching for.
 oh, but now she understood! Now she would take precautions!
 Twice that afternoon there were long, serious moments when Gypsy asked herself what she would do if Jim himself came to her and asked for his release. That would be en- tirely different. That would be oh, why think about it! Jim would never, do sueh(a thing.
 That evening she made an effort to look attractive when Jim ar rived home. They had dinner served on the screened porch. There were cool drinks and an iced dessert. Gypsy studied Jim's face covertly, decided that he was tired.
 Have you made any more plans for your vacation?" she asked. Don't you think you really need rest?"
 He said vaguely that hee might take some time off next month. It was out of the question for the present. Listen, Gypsy" he said, there's no reason you should Stay here scorching just because must. If you'd like to go up to the lakes for couple weeks-or some place else if you'd rather-go aheadf" The girl said quickly that she would rather stay. Somehow Jim's enthusiastic dismissal of her was little depressing. Later in the evening he spoke of an engagement with some business acquaintance and drove away. The second week in July was scorching hot. All day long the sun beat down increasingly on the dry earth. The lawn which Sam had worked so faithfully to turn into thick green velvet became singed and brownish. The garden wilted. Jim came home to dinner looking worn and weary. Several times he complained of headaches. Gypsy tried to keep the house cool and inviting but there were days when not a breath of wind was stirring.
 Throughout this ordeal she was fighting to keep up her courage. It was Abbie Manley-Abbie who would never intentionally have harmed anyone - who brought the news that was the last straw for Gypsy.

"Yes, Barbara and I went to the wedding" Jean answered Harry in | a low voice. The knot wasn't tied with the same kind of bow they make in the best circles, orange blos- soms and lace and all the rest, but 1 it's the same kind of a knot just 1 the same.

 *Not that poached egg. He's, all yolk! He thinks she's been fram- ed."
 Corrinne's voice, laughing a lit ltle because she was so glad that Harry was with her again that Inothing could make her sad, broke the silence that followed Mabel lines outburst.
 And what has all of this to do with the trial and Sybil?"
 Nothing, guess" Jack an swered ruefully. Except that it helped Mabefline find out about her paste stone a little sooner. Barbara was acting for friend- ships sake, and Clifford is playing the towards part as usual"

 But the holes :" Corrinne began.
 "The dress had just been cleaned. I found the tape which cleaners stick in the shoulders. Something in the fluid must have made the goods rot. She didn't do that on purpose. Now let's be gay!'
 And Sarah was echoing the same theme. Her dark eyes saw everyone and everything at once, and her red dress was bright flame that slipped from one pair of arms to another. ,-ey ,- Corrinne and Harry took Madeline to her home, made her comfortable, told her not to worry about any, thing, and started back to the party.

It is an old question whether a child should or should not be scold- ed or otherwise punished at the time of his offense. Many parents think he should be, but few know that all misdemeanor instantly and .deliber- ately puts lip a defense for itself.
 And as soon as Billy misbehaves, he throws up a mental wall that defies all efforts to break through at the time. In serious things par ticularly, far more can be gained by waiting a little while after each off fense, and then showing him exact- ly why he was wrong, warning him not to do it again. By this time. not only will Billy's defense wall have died down, but also the par ents anger will have cooled and his influence will be greater. Discipline put over as a passion is the poorest sort of discipline.
 Scolding Isn't Solution
 Constant scolding and punishing doesn't remove the real trouble. Billy will only become afraid of his

 There had been times-plenty of them - in Gypsy's comparatively brief young life when she had re- gretted hasty, impulsive speeches. She was not regretful now.
 "Tm glad I said it!" she told her self. I'm glad said it."
 
 The mending basket lay on one end of the davenport where she had left it. Gypsy sat down beside 1t. A pair of Jim's socks topped the pile of mending. She thought of that other time months before when Aunt Ellen had ripped out the stitches she had so painstak- ingly put into another pair. How many socks she had mended since then!
 Mechanically she threaded a needle but she did not set to work.

On her way home from Alice's wedding Lois stopped in to tell Nancy all about it. Alice had been a stenographer in the same office with Lois. She was the mainstay of her family, but had managed to save some money. Since wedding cere- mony takes, after all, but a few mos ments she decided it would be fool ish to spend large sum for the wedding. Why not keep the money for later use? And why load. her mother with a pile of bills which she would have to pay as best she could in the coming months?
 She invited a dozen friends to her home. There was a window in the living room which was large and sunny. A table was placed before this and on the table were placed two large vases with white flowers arranged quite formally. This spot became the temporary altar.

 over the problem when Marcia s voice broke in again.

 place. My happiest days have all

 narrowly. "Oh, don't be shocked!
 I suppose it's not the conventional thing for a young widow to say, but it's quite true. I've known more
 happiness in this little town than anywhere else"
 "I like the town myself" Gypsy agreed. Why must everything she said to this sleekly beautiful crea- ture sound so banal?
 "Oh, do you really? I Int know. thought you might be anxi- ous to see New York again." Gypsy shook her head. We're not planning on going east soon" For an instant she thought Mar cia had dropped her pose and that a look of pure hatred gleamed from the gray-blue eyes. If she was cor rect the look disappeared as quickly as it had come. Marcia picked up a palm leaf fan from the table and famed herself indolently.
 What are your plans?" she asked quietly.

 Ther are, of course, times when spot discipline is necessary, and com mon sense must select these timse. There is no hard and fast rule.
 Nagging and perpetual scolding is the most intellectual means in the world, and if the child is of the spir- ited, cumulative type, nothing but defiance can come of it in the end. And such a procedure soon loses its effect. x,
 Why not have a "save-up' hour when a child will listen seriously to what we have to say? Friendship and confidence are preserved and thought and a sense of justice come into play. When a child is made to think, half the battle Is won.

It would be salutary blessing for all of Americas feet if these new barefoot sandals actually did come in for dancing and general wear.
 Your feet need airing just as much as your lungs do. And many is the trim. looking little foot that is never allowed to peep out into the light of day. From mules to stock ings, to shoes, to mules to stockings to dancing slippers to bed and tucked under the covers Is the hid ing feet.
 The barefoot girl is lucky. She may get slivers in her toes but the health of her feet is apt to be 100 per cent! Feet that have the benefit of sunlight, of air and exercise al- ways have a vitality that is pleasing to look at. Most feet that are kept hidden away are not a sight to lin- ger over.
