Give the Boys a Chance!

Give the Boys a Chance!
AS a parent do you try too
hard to shape the lives of your
children?
Do you suggest and try to
persuade them to enter lines
of work in which they are not
interested and never would be
successful for that reaSon?'
Interest is essential to real
success.
AS little tots you paid little
attention to their expressions of
preference for this and that.
At the adult stage you are
alarmed at the best they show
in certain directions.
You had mapped out their
lives so differently.
What you had planned does
not appeal to them in any
sense.
You wonder if they are your
children after all.
You don't see how they can
be so very different.
On the other hand the young
mind is intent upon a future
course and reSents the hold-up
that you try to exert.
With the faith of parent
you think they might succeed
in any course.
You don't like their choice
you think they should choose
a white-collared job and if
they don't you think they are
making a mistake.
Give the boy or the girl a
chance to be themselves, and
encourage them to press for
ward and try their wings.

I'm Not That Kind Of a Person
Often I say to myself
why do I do the things I do?
I'm not that kind of a person."
Why do I work so frantically
To accumulate a lot of things
For which I do not give a hoot?
Personally I could be satisfied
With any clean room,
A decent dress, some simple
food.
AS long as I had hills and stars,
Trees, birds and books
And a few kind friends.
I know perfectly well that these
Are the only things worth while,
And yet I spend my days
Shut away from the sunlight,
Working for power and
possessions
Which will mean nothing
When I get them.
Why do I waste life so?
I'm not that kind of a person.
Why do I act like a smarty?
Why do show off and boast
And tell idiotic fibs
And try to put on an act?
Secretly I despise such goings-
on;
In my heart I'm humble and
gentle,
Often troubled and bewildered
And in need of help.
It would be a blessed relief
To reveal this and "be myself"
Cutting out all the capering
And the shoddy pretense-
Yet I don't!
Why must I act like a clown?
I'm not that kind of a person.
Why do I quarrel and "get
even"
And fill my heart with suspicion
And envy and resentment?
Why do I sit in judgment
On sinners and Sneer at fools2
Why should I resent anyone'S
unkindneSS
When I've been so unkind
myself?
Or suspect anyone of scheming
When I've been such a schemer
myself?
Why should I judge or Sneer
At sinners and fools
When I've been such a sinner
And such a fool-mySelf2

HUNTSVILLE MINE |S
 BUSY GOAL SHIPMENTS
 OTHER THAN RAILROAD

Nine cars of commercial coal were shipped from Jonesville last week by the Evan Jones Coal com pany, in addition to a shipment of Il cars for the Alaska Railroad, says the Anchorage Times.
 Virtually all of the commercial coal was sacked, for delivery at various points, near and far. Three carloads are for the bureau of h. dian Affairs at Kanakanak, three for the Libby, McNeil & Libby company, one for the U. s. Signal Corps at Valdez and two for An chorage distribution.
 The product of the Jonesville mine is proving very satisfactory, wherever it is being introduced, which accounts for the steadily ex- banding market.
 In a discussion of the coal sit uatiOn while he was in Anchorage recently, Governor Geo. A. Parks expressed the belief that Alaska coal ultimately will take it's right full place in al Alaska commodi- ties. He is convinced that Alaska coal can compete successfully with the imported fuel in southeastern Alaska just as soon as favorable transportation facilities are avail able

Mir Stocking stopped now and then to explain the slides, one remark being that the fine wire drawn at the American Brass com Epany can be spun out so that a bar of copper weighing about 250 pounds can be made to reach from New York to San Francisco. He also reminded his hearers that the exhibition was given under the aus pices of the American Brass com pany for the information of people who wanted to familiarize them- selves with the manufacture of brass and copper.

Compensation Commissioner Fred eric M.

If they cannot talk the English language. they should take somebody with them to the office of the compensa- tion commission who can speak Eng fish.
 MT Williams said that injured employees should be advised to sub- init statements in due season and to do so with the assurance that fil- ing such statements will will not be used against them where they are employed. He believed that the law should apply to employees of the farm as well as to those engaged in other occupations, and stated that in order to get justice in the compensa- tion court Is Is not necessary to en- ploy legal talent, adding that if in- jured parties will see, him during of flee hours he would be glad to ad- wise them how to proceed without charge,

While Judge Rules Against the Claimant of Million Dollars He Hits Heredity End of It

Chicago, March 20.-(UP)-Men- ldels laws of inheritance, introduced in an effort to prove blue-eyed par

 retical. death to-day after Judge
 Michael Feinberg ruled that Mendel- ian law might hold in the study of
 plants, but never in the case of hu- mans.
 The controversial question was settled by the judge in his ruling that brown-eyed George Adair 1 Longley of Janesyille, Wis. was not the son of blue-eyed George w. I.ongley. late Chicago hat manufac- turer. who left a $1,000.000 estate. 1 Judge Feinberg. although his
 ruling seemed to favor the Mendel-
 ian theory that Hike begets like,'
 emphasized that he had discarded
 the findings of the Austrian monk before making the decision. which teliminated the younger Longley as
 an heir to the estate.
 'T am surprised" Judge Feinberg l scientific standing would appear in my courtroom and expound such a theory.
 '.In my opinion there Is no cer- ltain characteristic in heredity, and nothing whatsoever to the {. eye itheory. Mendel's laws have not beer
 scientifically established and could never apply to the human race. Fl It was pointed out that the Aus. Itrian scientist had evloved his the. |Iories of inheritance from studies oi plants, and that none of his ob- lseryations were made from studies of human beings.
 George Adair Longley had con |Itenfied that he was the son of the Helder Longley by his first wife.

An audience that crowded the meeting room of the Washington Park Community club in Mulcahy school were instructed and amused last night by Amos Stocking and John c. Bradley of the American Brass company, the former giving an exhibition of slides entitled from Mine to Consumer" showing how copper is taken from the mine and the different processes through which 1t passes until it becomes the finish ed product, MT Bradley showed a number of pictures on the uses metal is put to and also gave an ex- planation of how the actual work is done in the local factories. MT Brad ley is a metallurgist, and a practical one at that.
 Because an audience is composed largely of youngsters Is no reason why they cannot behave we'll when somebody is talking who knows how to interest them. MT Bradley found this out when describing the num- Der of ingredients in certain kinds of metals and also in the human system. He mentioned millions, tril- lions, qunintillions, octillions. and then slide appeared on which was written something like this: "000,- 000, ,000,1." The audience cast alter nate glances at the figures and the speaker and then whispered to each other and giggled. MT Bradley then passed to something else, remark ing as he did so that he was not sure he knew what 1t meant him. self. Then the boys and girls looked more comfortable. evidently feeling that if MT Bradley didn't know there was no reason why it should not be puzzle to them.
 The slides thrown on the canvass were excellent. While everybody marveled at the rapidity with which machinery operated. what they won- dered at more was how men hoped from one place ot another and man a ped to save themselves from accf- dent.

His record for attendance has of late been one of continuous absence. Mrs Viola was greatly surprised to receive the summons. As far as she knew her boy has been in school for the past woke, though not of his own choos- ing. It developed that the lad was committed to the state reform school for boys, which explained the reason why he has not attended his neighborhood school.
