NANCY PAGE Do As You Would Be Done By Becomes Nancy's Creed
 By Florence La Ganke
By Florence La Ganke

The problem of making children obey was one which bothered Nancy considerably. Joan was fairly tractable. but there were times when she obeyed at her own sweet will. How should Nancy control it?
 She read books on child care, magazines on parent education and went to lectures and parent-teach- CT meetings.
 She came to the conclusion, which many other wiser persons than she have reached-that it is foolish to insist upon immediate obedience. Suppose, for instance, that she should call Joan to the table for lunch, and suppose Joan was right in the midst of a story, or had perhaps one last paragraph. She came slowly. What should Nancy do? Call to her sharply and tell her to come at once? Sup pose that Joan said: "Oh, wait a minute?" And yet made a start. slow 1t Is true, but 6 start at least toward coming. Should Nancy en- force her command?
 Or should she realize that the urge to obey was great even though the desire was rather sluggish?
 And suppose that Joan tucked the book under her arm as she walked toward the table. Should Nancy compel her to lay 1t down and to leave it in the living room ? Suppose she did carry the book to the table, was there any crime in that? Wasn't 1t foolish to insist in a compelling fashion that obe- dience be implicit and immedi- ate? Would any grown-up, nay did any grown-up, drop everything and come at the first call? Did she in fact when Joan asked her for something, drop whatever she might be doing and run at once at her young niece's call? Nancy decided that so long as the will to obey was there 1t was foloish to demand more from the child than she was willing to give to the child in return. And Nancy was a wise and understanding person. Don't you agree?

New Industry Needed

Bismarck, more than any other North Dakota city of
prominence, needs a new transportation industry.
With the city constantly growing and more people liv-
ing in homes relatively far removed from the business
section and their places of employment, some means of
transportation is necessary to keep pace with the growth.
The logical thing is a bus line, serving every section
of the city on regular schedule. It is to be hoped that
some enterprising individual or corporation will see in
this need a commercial opportunity and install such a
service.
That urban transportation is a real business may be
demonstrated by figures recently compiled to show the
size of the electric street car industry in this country.
These data show that street cars carry more than
10000, 900 persons daily, or three out Of every five riding
in the downtown sections of the larger cities. The in
vestnent in such property is five and a half billion dol
lars. The industry employs 5000 persons regularly
and pays them $445, 10000 a year. In most urban CEN
tiers these transportation systems are among the fou
largest employers of labor.
Electric transportation is not feasible for Bismarck
and it is improbable that a bus system, if inaugurated
here, would require as large an investment or employ as
many persons, comparatively, as is the case with trans
%portation systems In larger cities.
That it would employ some workers, however, is I'm.
doubted and this would be an added benefit to the city
The outstanding fact, however, is that such a service il
needed if Bismarck is to take on the metropolitan aspect
which its boosters enviSion for it.

in Chicago. according to current reports. the function OF
this individual being to point out Lingle to the actual
slayer, a man doing q job for hire and with no personal
animus toward Lingle whatsoever.
Now, however, two "fingermen" Of a vastly different
type have entered the picture. Testifying in a Chicago
courtroom, they have pointed the finger at Leo v. Broth
ers as the man who fled from the scene as Lingle fell,
slain by an assassin's bullet.
It will be interesting to note If this "fingerwork" done
in the open forum Of a public courtroom, is as sure In
dealing out swift punishment as was the case with the
finger" who marked Lingle for destruction.
That these two witnesses have testified at all IS en-
couraging, for one Of the chief weapons OF the city
gangsters has been the intimidation of witnesses who
might give damaging evidence unless halted by fear for
their own safety.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
e BIRTH

VIGNY'S BIRTH
On March q, 1893, Alfred Count de
Vigny, famous French poet ana nov
elist, was born at Loches, France.
After receiving his early schooling
in Paris he entered the army at is
and served u years. While a soldier
he had published a small volume of
verse, followed two years later by the
epic, "Eloa," an exquisite piece Of mys-
tic fantasy.
In 1926 Vigny published a lorg his
torical romance, "Cinq Mars which
gained immediate and great success.
Though he falsified his history a lit
tie in this work, Vigny. gained the
distinction of being the first in a
field where Dumas and Hugo were to
gather brighter laurels. ~
Vigny did his, bit in the romantic
rejuvenation of the drama by trans
llating Shakespeare's Othello and by
writing dramas. But he saw the lin
itations of romanticism in drama and
never pursued his success. In 1845 he
was elected to the Academy.
