Hungary's Bankruptcy
Forces POstponement
of Loan Collections

The Bank of International Settle
ments has decided that it would not
press the collection of $20,000,000
loan which Hungary was supposed to
pay on Friday. But the statement
of the bank shows that it would not
have been worth anything to press
the claim, because Hungary is on the
verge of bankruptcy. This loan is
to be extended for short period but
there is no prospect of Hungary being
able to pay even in months from now.

Charity Provides S7.89 for All of 1882: Econo-

NEW YORK. - One day a New

ployment relief appropriations and
collections for soup lines, family re-
lief, and forced labor, and finds that
In the SO principal cities of the coun-

enough has been collected to give
each jobless man $789 to support his
family on for the year OF 1882.
Two days later, the experts of the

Charity Organization Society here
make up g. budget for unemployed
families of five, and by shaving
everything to the limit, leaving only
monotonous diet and the poorest

Food is not all, especially in the

nearly enough, only about one-third

With this fundamental principle of
equal distribution of time well under
stood, how is 1t that some persons do
succeed in accomplishing so much more
than others. The accomplishing group
has time left in which to do a vast
number of things, apart from regular
vocations The other group works as
necessarily, and is always rushing, yet
apparently has no time in which to do
other routine tasks. 1t Is this latter
group which laments loudest about lack
of time.
There must be reasons for this diver
sity. Good planning is one main factor.
Another is a wise selection of the most

things one can do in given time in

person has perceived this. In some
curious way the lesser things and the
pleasures fit themselves around the
larger accomplishments like a picture
puzzle. They get done without inter-

Habit Drives.

In the light Of what is commonly
called habit psychology we are begin
ming to learn something definite about
some very common things. The latest
pronouncement Is that our everyday
habits are behavior patterns, which,
once set going, seem to reel of auto
matically. How often did you write

matically?
A rough idea of how habits work may
be gained by comparing them with an

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

From the moment the baby begins to
crawl about on the floor until he runs
about the house his mother must be
in constant supervision over him. IN
til she has taught him how to take care
of himself she must exert every effort
to prevent his getting into dangerous
situations. The child of school age is
an even greater care, for the potential
situations outside the home have to be
taken into consideration.
A mother wrote me recently in some
what peevish vein. She said her own
mother told her she was terrible" to
go to nearby movie and leave her
three children, all under Z. safely
asleep at home" She could see no
danger.
Yet every day the newspapers print
accounts of homes burned to the
ground. and children with them. while
the parent was on an errand or at the
neighbours for a short visit. Safely"
is a relative word; no child is safe I'M
less he is in the direct care of some
older person whose judgment has de-
veloped to the point where he knows
what to do in unusual situations.
1t is entirely the responsibility Of the
parent to see that small babies do not
get into poiSons. matches, kerosene cans
and tubs of boiling water or fall out Of
open or carelessly screened windows.
There we have the danger situations
common to thousands Of homes, and If
he is harmed through anv of them it is
not the fault of the child, but of his
careless, unimaginative mother.
Having recognized that child's guar
dian, one must take the next step in
his education toward safety and teach
the child how to handle matches, how
to climb stairs. how to cross streets. how
to turn on gas stoves. One must look
forward to that inevitable moment when
the child will have to be responsible for
his own safety. We know that it is the
overguarded. overprotected child who
goes out of the home to school unable
to manage IN any new situation and
sometimes unaware of the dangers about
him.
If the mother is right at hand during
the learning process she can protect
the child from accidents. But prohibit
ton Of the handling Of matches, warn
ings not to sit in a window when the
mother may herself hold the child there
with Indifference to the danger. or
threats of punishment if he plays in the
street are all short cuts to accidents.
knowing that there is danger. but
learning how to avert it by proper pre-
cautions is the course that safeguards
the child most effectively.
Then we are able to do away to some
extent with dire warnings and threats
of accident which. if futile. send the
child headlong into them. and, If too
effective, lead to his becoming a craven
coward. Danger exists, and children
should be aware that caution is de-
sirable in dangerous situations, not
running away from them.

Brumidi's purpose to emblazon all the
walls with his living colors. But life
was too short for the task.
He died in poverty, and in 1880 Con-
gress appropriated 5000 to pay his fu-
neral expenses. A belated payment was
also made on his contract for the
mighty fresco in the Capitol dome, to
aid destitute daughter in Italy.
Brumidi was naturaliZed American

ltol. He came TO America in 1855 to

tain he had refused to order his troops
to fire ION the people" the records say,
and he served IA months in prison
without charges or trial.
It was this incident that brought
about the half-completed fresco work
in the Senate wing of the Capitol. For
Brumidi was a marked man already in
Rome.
1t was to him the Pope intrusted
restoration Of the Rafeal frescos in the
ioggia of the Vatican.
He went far with his idea of dedicat-
ing each of the Senate committee
rooms to its established purpose by the
nature Of its decorations. But the orig
inal scheme was not carried out.

This led to an investigation on our
part of the man Brumidi and his work.
One has only to visit the Capitol to
be impressed by the work of Brumidi,
who spent the last 25 years of his life
lavishing his talent upon the gigantic
task Of decorating the walls of that
building. In the corridors of the
Senate wing perhaps the genius of the
man is seen at it's best.
There are painted panels crowded
with American flora and fauna. Each
bird and flower is produced by the
painter in exquisite detail No two
panels are the same; no two flowers
and no two birds alike, yet there are
hundreds of both.
In another corridor one will see blank
panels, painted in solemn tones with
