Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Other Peoples Children.

All Of us are affected by what some
one else expects Of us. The question Of
discipline may not bother the mother
at all when she is alone with her chill
dren. She is busy. They are happy.
She is pleasantly blind and deaf to
what they are doing and the result
Is excellent.
But let visitor step into the home
circle. The visitor notes that the
young child is running about, picking
up the books, tossing the sofa pillows
about, dabbing -four on his face in
| imitation of the mothers powdering.
At last her queries will not stay put.
"Do you let him handle all your
things that way? Aren't you afraid
he'll break Something?"
Immediately the mother feels called
upon 10 do something. Up to this
moment what the child did had
seemed harmless enough. Viewed
through the disappearing eyes Of her
visitor it becomes mischief, mischief
which demands punishment. So she
orders the child to stop handling
ing to show the visitor how well she
can manage her little meddler
The stern voice frightens the child.
His mother Is not usually 50 cross. He
looks as her In CONSERVATION. Then
when nothing happens, he goes about
playing as before, hopeful that all is
well
Mercy, look at him, he's right back
at 1t again. He doesn't pay much at
tention to what you say, does hep"
That is a challenge. The mother has
to prove that she Is boss, and so she
makes a mountain out of a molehill
AmV efo
like an automation, in order to prove
that she can control him. If she does
not, Mrs. So and So will be certain to
go away and tell every one what a lit
tie nuisance Tommy Tucker Is. "He
rays no more attention to his mother
than IL she were the wind. He just
runs Wild
OF course, as we all know, other
peoples children are inevitably ter
riblel No mother ever had q child
that completely satisfied her relatives
or friends. Nothing she ever does
quite suits them. If she Is stern they
disapprove of her discipline. II she
is kind and understanding and sees,
hears and notes as little as possible Of
what her children are doing, then of
course she lets them run all over her.
III they were my children!"
Quite IN line with this outside dis
approval Is the chiId,& capacity Tor act
ing his worst when these suspicious
eyes are glued upon him. He knows
something Is expected Of him and he
shows on, runs amuck, and thrills to
the CONSERVATION and horror he can
arouse.
Both the child and his parent are
In unnatural situations when strangers
are at hand and the result Is usually
very sad. If the child in his excite
ment capers one step too far, his
mother feels that IL Is her duty to do
something drastic. Her visitor ex-
poets it. So she stiles her own emo
tons and lives up to those Of her
visitor. She acts not out of any COM
pulsion Of her own, but out Of her
visitors expectation Of what should be
done in any situation. oh, that
mothers might keep their heads In the
face Of the critical audienee

A sermon for Today
If Yon Had q BAD start.
BIZ SEv. JOHN n. QUINN.

THE evil that befell thee from thy
youth. III Samuel, XXI.
Many get bad start In life. Owing
TO various causes the morning sunshine
Is darkened, and that period Of life that
ought to be bright and happy Is en-
Filtered and blighted by poverty. un-
Kindness, sickness and injustice.
The lives Of many children are ter
rible. Many little boys and girls are
being reared in the midst of unspeak-
able privations and faFdships. There
are countless young men and women
VINO are struggling to gain footing in
the face Of the most crushing and dig
couraging handicaps.
Miss Harriet Martineau, who attained
worldwide fame as a novelist and es-
sayiSt, complained that her life had
mo Spring" A tragedy, indeed Youth
with no violets, honeysuckles and daffo-
oils. Youth with the singing birds
dead Ia the snow of Winter Youth
with no sweet Summer. Youth with
none Of the sunshine and gladness Of
youth. What terrikHe thing to con-
template. The world presents no sadder
sight
Yet many of the brightest names in
history are the names of men and
women in whose lives there was mo
Spring" One Of the rarest flowers is
the snowfower Of California. 1t grows
very large and tall, has an intense
crimson color and Ia very beautiful. 1t
is called the "anow-plant" because 1t
springs directly out Of the snow. Thus
many Of the most distinguished char
acters in society began life in the hard
est conditions, spent their youth In the
most adverse circumstances, and yet
struggled their way through to noble
achievement and high honor.
1t Is astonishing how many Of the
worlds great leaders were subjected to
premature trial and toll in their child
hood and youth. What an encourage
ment this ought to be TO the young men
and women Of today whose lot Is cast
in an environment Of poverty or other
forbidding conditions. You may feel
that you have no chance; that you have
too many limitations and handicaps to
overcome. But thousands of others, in
spite of poverty, in spite of physical in
flrmitives, in spite of difficulties almost
inconceivable, have forged their way TO
the top and forced the world to recog-
nize their superiority and leadership.
And If others have done this, why not
you? Never mind If you had bad
start. If you have the will and couT-
age, you can achieve success and victory
and write your name large In the
worlds life.

Don't Worry
Alb, "A. N, ,S.T.B.,
Clayton, Delaware

Once we have mastered worry,
we have added another world to
our life, world in which fear and
trembling of the spirit has no ex-
istence.
How we long sometimes to be
free of worry. 1t weighs us down,
and in our weakness we give way to
1t. Then worry becomes jubflant.
1t gloats over our misery. Yet, if
we give the matter a moments
thought, worry is absolutely and
completely inept.
We are creatures of habit. We
easily form habits that are not good
for US. Worry is the prime one.
Habits of happiness are just as
easy. Try pushing worry aside, out
of your mind. out of your life, the
next time it comes up. 1t may beat
you. When the next worry pushes
Its way into your thought, try
again. You'll find resisting it is
not so hard. Eventually, worry will
give you up as a bad job.-London

History of "Jazz"

Strictly speaking there was no
jazz music before the World war.
At least, it was not known by that
name. The word jazz was in use,
however, in New Orleans, where its
origin has been traced. perhaps
twenty years before the end of the
Nineteenth century. But it was
used in the verb form, and ap-
piled to a rudimentary syncopated
type of music as a cue to speed it
up, or to enliven it. Some years
later Orchestras on the west coast
began developing this type of
music, and in 1911 a complete jazz
orchestra composed of two saxo-
phones, cOrnet, trombone, violin,
banjo, piano and drums, played at
Los Angeles. A year later this
music gained in popularity in Chi
cago and a banjoist and orchestra
organizer there named Bert Kelly
made an adjective out of jazz and
called his own orchestra Bert
Kelly's Jazz band. This appears
to be the first use of the term "jazz
band"
Smyrna times., 1931-09-16
Origin of "Mr."

The common prefix Mr.. originally
represents the title Master" which
was one of very high respect. For
instance, in 1900 it was natural to re-
fer to the leader of the Exodus
as 'Maister Moses" and down to
Shakespeare'S time a knight or a
bishop might be called Mr.. Be
sides high social rank Master"
might indicate learning, implying
the academic rank of master of
arts; so by the Sixteenth century
its use was widened so as to apply
to any man of education or sub
stantial position. By the Seven
teenth century, when the abbrevia-
ton Mr.. was coming in, the ten
dency to slur over the first vowel
had begun (perhaps under the in
fluence of "mistress") and by 100
Master and Mr.. were regarded as
separate words But not till very
recent times did Mr.. become the
title Of all EngIish-speaking males
of whatever rank.

Famous Negro Physicians

The first negro physician of any
standing, in this country, of whom
there is record was James Derham,
also a slave in Philadelphia, 1867.
He was taught by his master TO
compound medicines and attained
such skill that he was sold to an
other doctor, who used him as an
assistant. He was enabled to pur-
chase his freedom and moved to
New Orleans, where he built up a
lucrative practice. The celebrated
physician. DR.. Benjamin Rush, pub
lished an account of Derham and
gave high praise to his skill. The
first accredited physician was DIR.
John V. De Grasse. who became a
member of the Medical Association
of Massachusetts in 1854.

"Venice of the Orient"

Such is one of the names given
to Manila Of the Philippine is
lands. The name comes to it be-
cause it is situated on both banks
of the Pasig river and enjoys some
canal life from the river. These
waters provide a lot of bridges for
the city suggestive of the RiaIto of
the Old world Thirty-five years
ago the city had no drainage sys-
TEN, and heavy rain made boats
on the streets necessary. Around
the Intermuros or Walled city,
which is most typical of its Span
ish days, were walls and a moat
dating back to 1890, two miles long
and % feet high. Today, the moat
is given up to fine driveways, and
only the bridged river and canals
remind the tourist of a city Of

London's Sunday Laws

Many Of Londons Sunday OBJ
servance laws are very old. Many
of them date back 3O5 years to
a famous act of 1926. All sorts Of
queer things are prohibited on Sun
day, including buIl-baiting. bear
batting and football. Strictly, it is
illegal for an hotel to cook a meal
on Sunday, or for anything to be
sold in a shop. It is also provided
that no carrier or wagon man
which might possibly include the
driver of motor cOach-may
travel on Sunday. Not only sellers,
but buyers may not break the law,
for one of the old acts says that
any person who makes purchases
on Sunday of such things as sweets
or tobacco can be convicted.

FATHER LUNDERGAN WRITES
letter From ST. Joseph's Home on
CLAYTON Public School Dedication

Clayton, Delaware,
September 10th, 1881.
Editors, Smyrna Times,
I SMYRNA, Delaware.
/ Gentlemen:
II herewith beg your kind per-
mission to accord to me sufficient
space in your estimable publica-
ton. for the appending open letter
to the School Board of Clayton, or
70 those who supervised the dedi-
catorv ceremonies of the new and
splendid school, of that foremen-
toned town.
THE following remarks are made
on the assumption that the under
signed has been reliably informed
concerning the exercises of dedica-
ton which were used on that occa-
sion.
my informant has assured me
that the Masonic ritual and cere-
monial were in evident use at that
affair. If this assertion be a fact,
then 1 may employ an innate right
of American citizenship to inquire
Why so?
Masonry is Religion; it is
Just as separate and distinct a cult
as Judaism, Catholicism, or
Brahminism, or Professionalism.
Therefore, why should public
school, be dedicated to Masonic
ideals and principles? Of course
it is no chop-logic, but sound
American constitutionalism, which
gives that privilege to private
schools, which are maintained by
private foundations. Such schools
are empowered to dedicate aca-
demic institutions to any fitting
ideals.
However, since public schools
are operated from funds collected
from all religious persuasions, the
dedication of such places should
not be controlled or monopolized by
oil Oil6 IOA4S AOho OOOJ. oAOuAO
this deplorable situation occur, it
were tantamount to a denial that
our constitution protects citizens
against subscribing to religious
tenets not Of their choice.
a Catholic Bishop Of the West, I
understand, carried this objection
to the courts, and was upheld.
Absolutely without any least
rancor, and totally unaware Of any
personal animosity toward any
one,-for have not found out who
conducted the discussed affair, /
beg leave to submit the question to
the fair and candid consideration
Of the people Of this community.
I object not primarily as a Cath
