CHILDREN
THE UNTRUTHFUL ONES
By ANGELO pATRI

7 TITLE children have some dihi-
II Guilty in keeping fact and fantasy
apart. To them they are very close.
They look about alike to the eyes OF
childhood because those eyes have
not functioned In the world OF reality.
1t Is not hard to know that sort of
untruth and to set 1t right The diff
cult sort Is that which appears or
rather continues to appear on through
adolescence
When IN adolescent tells you any
kind Of story to head you In d.
rection that renders him safe, when
he lies to you In cold elaboration, you
have the right to fear for his condi---
ton. He needs immediate attention
Many times these adolescent chill
dren are In the grip of sex urges that
they know nothing about. The little
instruction they have received Is not
enough to carry them through the ter
rife onrush of feeling, sensation,
whatever you choose to term 1t. that
besets them. In their endeavor to
maintain themselves In any degree OF
comfort they make mistakes then lie
out of them as best they can because
they are afraid to tell the truth. There
lis no use In telling them to tell You
the truth and you won't blame them.
They are ashamed, afraid, inarticulate-
When you find yourself In such
fix as this, waste no time. Go to the
specialist Find the ore who knows
adolescent children. Try to find SEE
cialist who ls serving In a hospital or
clinic where such young people are
treated. Tel him or her the stor. and
put your afflicted child under treat
ment. Lies are indications of patho-
logical condition. All the scolding In
the world won't help them. You need
the skilled psychiatrist, neurologist,
physician.
Sometimes fear drives children into
telling lies. That sort of lie is as
easily detected as the other. Try to
find what sort of fear Is troubling the
child and do your best to remove It
| It you cannot find the fear and You
see that the child Is suffering from It,
take him to the specialist and have
him treated for 1t. There Is no time
to be lost when adolescent children
suffer from such Ills. Sympathy Is all
very well but what Is needed Is skilled
and prompt treatment
Little children are easily handled as
| usual thing. Even among them we
find the psyconathic liar. You will know

/ rIes are not imaginative fairy tales.

Changes.

Changes.
One morning the Captain failed to
appear at breakfast, and Miss Mona,
going anxiously to his room to nscer-
tain the reason, came down with a
troubled face.
HE says he's not Ill. just tired"
she reported. Il think I'll call Doctor
Bigham, just to be on the safe side"
Call me after he's been here and
tell me what he says" Cynthia asked.
1t was Mrs. Ensloe who gave the re-
quested report.
4I'm afraid your grandfather is
pretty Ill, Cynthia" she said. TITS his
heart, the doctor says"
Seriously Ill, Mrs. Ensloe?'
I'm afraid so, my dear. Doctor
Bigham wants nurse
oh, he must be HI Is he In paln7n
No. But the doctor seems to think
there's dropslcal condition" She
could hear Cynthia's gasp at the other
end OF the line. There's no imme-
diate danger. No need for you to
come home"
But Cynthia did come home at once.
She knew how much Miss Mona would
need support at this time. The nurse
had arrived by the time Cynthia came.
Save for her presence In the house, II
did not seem like an illness. The Cap
tain lay serenely on his high pillows,
smiled at his daughter, had joking
word for Geoff and Cynthia.
As on previous occasion Doctor
Bigham drew Geoff aside.

Yes. No possible doubt OF 1t.
He'll slip away In bis sleep, I hope
It's the rest of the family I'm worried
about. Miss Mona Is going to take 1t
awfully hard"
"And Cynthia I"

all, it's Miss Mona who will feel 1t
most. I'll be here as much as I can.

want you to call me Immediately"
Day after day went by and there
was no change In the patient. Miss
Mona and Mrs. Ensloe cared for him
In the daytime, the nurse at night
Cynthia came and went as usual
from the shop Cary came In each
evening to sit with his grandfather,
and Flossie proved to be OF unex-

They were all at dinner one evening,

Why7 I love Geoffr,
That's right, Tenny. You keep on
setting Cynthia a good example and
maybe she'll follow It,.

even admit this: I'm going to miss
you terribly after today. Cary, sup

Flossle smiled. "Our first wife" had
lntimated In telephone conversation
with Flossie that day that after next
month no more alimony would be ex-
pected.
Tenny was long time getting to
sleep that night 1t was thrilling, In
the first place, to go to bed In a room
which contained a bed and nothing
else; not rug, not chair, not

her wakefulness. But finally the white

"What doesn't7" Geoff asked sensi-

The work proceeded slowly despite
the number of willing hands. Tenny
was In her glory. dragging out old

County Agent Requests
More Hog Information

Word has just been received that
supplies are being mailed to the
county agent for the purpose of
taking care of the corn-hog pre-
gram in the county. Since the hog
program will be a little difficult
to get information on we are GO
ing to request of farmers of the
county that they write to the Of
flee of the county agricultural
agent, Kennewick, in case they
have three brood sows or more and
are interested in having the detail
information as to how this PRO
gram will be carried out. We will
appreciate, therefore, every hog
grower with three brood sows or
more, would write postcard to
the county agent, stating the num-
Der of brood sows on hand and the
number usually raised each year.
Upon receipt of this information
the agent will mail to each coop.
orator, information as to carrying
out of the program. Every hog
producer in the county with any
number of hogs should immediate
ly get in tonch with the office.

DIR. Elwood Mead, commissioner
of reclamation, while in Spokane
on his tour of reclamation bureau
projects, this week said, Il have
complete confidence that the Col
umbia Basin project, with it's
great reclamation program, will be
completed in it's entirety-that the
Grand Coulee power dam is but the
first step toward this end"
Speaking of the dam itself, DR..
Mead continued, at is one of the
few large single allotments OF
federal money that have been
made, and is going to be one OF
the greatest single developments
in the entire country. 1t has and
will have national significance.
And, of course, what it means to
the Pacific northwest is hardly
measurable"
The agricultural program for
removing marginal lands from

having removed serious obstacle

Rapid Progress Being
Made on Athletic Field

The new athletic field at the
school house is rapidly being put
into shape. The field has been
leveled, Mr.. Black reported to the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday and the
fence is rapidly being put up. A
group Of the boys went into the
mountains a week or so ago and
cut the posts for the fence. With
the federal money now available
the posts are being set and the
lumber is on the ground for the
fence proper.
The posts are treated, this part
of the work being done with the
telephone company's equipment.
They are set eight feet apart and
four feet deep. The fence should
last for at least fifteen years, Mr..
Black thinks. The land viii be
seeded to rye as soon as enough
moisture is available. Next spring
the grass will be planted.
The new officers Of the KiwaniS
club are planning to attend an of
ficer's school at Yakima Tuesday
Of next week. The new officers
will assume their new jobs right
after new Years Day. ,

COUNTY GETS
SURFACING 14.3
MILES HI-WAY
Highway from Carley to Pat
erson to be Graded; Rotat-
ing Employment to be Used
as Was Last Year

Surfacing of 14.3 miles of the
North Bank highway from Carley
to Paterson is contemplated by a
call for bids sent out yesterday by
Lacey Murrow, state highway en-
gineer. This contract will be one
of eight similar jobs, funds for
which are to be derived from the
states ten million dollar insur-
rection bond issue authorized by
the last legislature.
Grading work on this stretch of
road was completed last winter as
a relief measure and the new con-
tract will call for the surfacing.
1t is understood that a similar ar
rangement for rotating employ
ment will be used on the surfacing
of this piece of road as was done
last winter, with allotments made
to the different communities for
labor.
The North Bank road is now
complete, except for few short
stretches between Vancouver and
Paterson. Inasmuch as the road
from Maryhill, about midway on
the route, has never been official
ly adopted as a part of the state
system, and an effort will be made
at the special session to have it
SO designated. This fact has pre-
vented the highway department
from assuming the maintenance
of the new piece east of Maryhill,
it is claimed.
