How Should Children
BE Punished?
Punishment Is at times neces-
sary and then should be immedi-
ate and appropriate. There should
be close connection between the
act that a child should not repeat
and the unpleasant sensation call
ed punishment.
A child who Is fighting with his
playmates may well be punished
by removing him from the group;
a child who smashes q toy, by
learning that he will not get some
thing to take its place. Do not
punish him by putting him in a
dark closet. Shaping or spanking
should be used rarely and never in
anger. 1t Is most appropriate
when q child has done something
the repetition OF which will en-
danger his life, such rs running
out into the street or playing with
matches.
Punishment should never be
prolonged nor delsyec. Never tell
a child you will punish him unless
you intend to do g.
Punishment Doesn't
Make Any Difference:
For many children punishment
Is one way Of attracting attention.
Some children enjoy their reputa-
ton for naughtiness and need to
be ignored instead Of punished.
Make sure that your child isn't
getting attention only when he Is
naughty and being ignored when
he is good. A child will often be
influenced more by q quiet word
or two than by excited reproofs
and seedlings.
What's the Cure for Tantrums?
The child with temper tantrums
Is another one trying to attract
attention. BE sure he gets ap-
proving attention for doing desir-
able things and that family atten-
ton Is evenly divided among the
children. Management OF such a
child always requires patience,
self-control and absolute firmness.
Scolding is Of little value and a
slap or spank rarely so. Leave
the child by himself r-til he Is
quiet and then. without comment.
let him return to the family group.
Be sure he does not get what he
wants by having a tantrum and
never let him know you are upset
about II.

7ie Camps Provide
 Work For Hackers

One hundred or more men will be kept busy during the most of the coming winter cutting ties for the Alaska railroad, in the national forest area between Anchorage and Seward. Most of the work will be done by tie hackers.
 There will be about 45 tie camps in the district and, in ad- oltiCn, the c. A. Berg mill at In- dian and the Myles Hyland mill at GirdWood, will contribute to the general output of ties, with the possibility that 125 men will be engaged in the industry. It is expected that upwards of $75,- coo will be distributed by the Alaska railroad among the tic cutters during the season.

KETCEIIKAN GETS MAIL BUT

Rate reductions and curtail- ment of service, which has re- suited in coastWise ships calling in Ketchikan only once week with mail, passengers and frieght, has left Ketchikan busi- ness men uncertain as to what attitude they should take.
 Discussion of the matter at the Chamber of Commerce end- ed in a decision to await further developments.
 Weekly service of the Alaska and Pacific Steamship Con- panies has been discontinued and shiEv of the two companies now arrive from Seattle on al- ternate Thursdays. This not only reduces their separate services but brings their ships here on the same day the Northland Transportation Company and Canadian Pacific vessels arrive.
 The Canadian Pacific, Alaska and Pacific Steamship. Con- ranies also have reduced their winter round trip rates from Seattle from $54 to a minimum of $48. The Northland CCmpany's rate is $50.
 Passengers are carried by all four lines and mail by all except the Northland Company, whose tentative contract was with drawn when the Pacific and Alaska Steamship Lines an- nounced their new schedule. Freight is carried by all except the Canadian Pacific.
