YOUR CHILDREN
buM;o Robo-tc Ror.,,
J0Io3IBY tAStRWCe; INC. (

Children need to be away from older people a great part of every day.
 but perhaps it will be more clearly understood if I draw picture.
 Suppose you were living in a great house where a sort of super-person is master. He is q kind individual, let us suppose, but far smarter than you are and he has taken it into his head that you cannot do anything quite right or without his telling you how to do 1t.
 He measures your hours, appoints your duties, explains how you must wash yourself. gives you lectures on manners and such things. in fact is logging you every hour of every day to do as he says. You even have to succumb to his moods and humors and learn propitious moments for asking favorss In other words you are a slave to a great master, kind master. but a master just the same.
 A Natural Result
 You cannot have an evening off, Even your sleeping and waking are directed by him. He selects your clothes, he directs your feeding. As far as personal taste goes you have none, according to him,
 What would happen?

tantrums. get balky, unpleasant to live with, irritable and disobliging. This Is precisely what children go through and the wonder is that they are as tractable, docile. and sweet as they are. True, their hab- its and preferences are not set, but their emotional reactions are, and cannot see for the life of me how they stand 1t.
 Every member of every family should have the birthright of some independence. Not at the cost of the happiness and comfort of other mem bers of the family. or even of people outside. for moral and ethi- cal and social law must be observ- ed.
 Independence Is Necessary
 But independence of soul and sririt and a certain freedom of be- havior Is needed by all Gods chill dren. It is the only way for per- feet development.
 And so I suggest - don't ride the children, don't bend them, and nag them and be forever talking to them about what you want them to do. They learn from you, by your kind suggestion and eve positive de- mand. but they learn quite as much by personal experiment. We all do that and keep on learning, and mak- ing mistakes all our lives. But that is life and we cannot change 1t. Independence, self-reliance! Both so necessary. Yes, the children should have a breathing space away from all supervision for portions of every day. Let's call them "The Chil- dren's Hours"

 Appeal Case to Be Rearrcsted
 Gilbert Dupree, aged IS. one of the youths recently arrested in con- nection with the Treadway home robbery on Chippins Hill was re. leased on bail from the Bristol Jail on the furnishing of $3,000 bail by his parents As soon as he was re- leased he was rearrested by Chief of Police George Buckley in regard to the burglaries in this town In which he was one of the gang who participated in the robberies. Much sympathy is expressed to the youth and to the Dupree family because the boy was travelling in bad com Dany and had to do what the others did. The boy has remarkable rec ord in school and was rated hrst class with his teachers and with ali whom he chanced to come in con- tact with. The appeal was made because of this record and because the boy had travelled in bad con- pany for. which many innocent youths get involved. It is expressed that the justice of the peace in this town will not overlook this fine rec ord and will deal with him In lenient manner.
 Returns from Hospital
 Irving Riendeau, the young son of MT and Mrs Adlaw Riendeau of Al len street returned to his parents home from St Mary's hospital in Waterbury where he was recuper- ating from an operation performed on his thigh.

Good health, daily exercise. wise- ly chosen meals all contributed to Nancy's slenderness. She had a hor- TOT of becoming bunchy in spots. Her clothes looked well on her be- cause she did keep in trim and also because she wore underthings which fitted her figure. Bunchy bloomers. gathered slips, wrinkled lingerie al- ways betray themselves.
 That may have been the reason she was so pleased with new slip which she had just learned how to make. She followed these direc- tions:
 Measure hips and add two inches. Let's say that your hips are 38 inches. Add two and you have 40 inches. Divide that total by two. giving 20. Add the 20 to the origin al hip measure-in this case 38. That gives 58 inches. Cut. slip the depth required when measured from under arm to length under skirt.

Christian Science


 The subject of the lesson will be Sacrament.
 The golden text is taken from from John 6:33: "The Lord of God is he which cometh down from hea- ven, and giveth life unto the world"
 Selections from the Bible include the following passage from Matthew 26:39: And he went little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, say ing o my Father, if 1t be possible. let this cup pass from me: never theless not as l will, but as thou wilt"
 Correlative readings from the Christian science text book. Science and Health with key to the Scrip tures", by Mary Baker Eddy, in- clude the following from page 50:- 30: "The real cross, which Jesus bore up the hill of grief, was the worlds hatred of truth and love. It was the possible loss of some- thing more important that human life which moved him,--the pos- sible misapprehension of the sublim- est influence of his career. This dread added the drop of gallto his cup."

 Charge

The Terryville high school bas. ketball team added another triumph to their growing list last night when they defeated their arch rivals, the Litchfeld high school team to the score of A to 27. The local team seemed to be in a more harmonious mood last night and the team CO., operated to such an extent that they had an easy time in defeating their opponents. The Litchfield team has been the greatest rival of the local quintet for many years and the To- cal came came out on top only in recent years, but they have won- derful prospects for a good team next year and will uphold their rec ords of recent years. The girl teams from the respective schools played the preliminary game and the local girls lost but one poin, to the tune of 20 to 21. The game was close throughout and all the witnesses were held In suspense until tho game ended.
