ACE-OLD QUERY
OF THE PARENT
And All Who Have Guidance
of Little Children.

MRS. WALTER FERGUSON, in the
New York rld-TclcRram.1
A large group of children are for
me, most moving sight. / feel like

dreds of boys. and girls Of the same
age going through dances and drills
are Just too pathetic to be endured.
Colored bunting. the music of bands
and thin bare little legs flashing
while all about parents sit wrapped
In worshipful adoratIon-I think life
does not offer a sadder sight.

happiness of the juveniles and the

that eternal query fathers and moth

Yes. we'll fall them probably. Al
grownups have nearly always failed
children, and our generation will be
no exception to the general rule, /
suppose. Wen fall them In ten thou
sand ways, though we love them 80
much.
It seems to be the peculiar fate of
our kind to set our offspring tasks
which we know are beyond all hui

we urge them to hitch their little
wagons are very far away. Honesty.

OF success-as the world judges both.
The flags we adjure them to salute
and honor and love so many times
beckon them to injustices and DEATH
The education we beg them to strive
for has left a bitter taste In our
mouths The prayers we ask them to

It has been long time since par

Is portent OF good. We do not

lost In a maze Of doubts We only

Bootleg Kisses

Residents of Bronxville. N. T., were
ordered by police to refrain from
kissing In the local railroad station.
Reason: kissing blocked traffic In
the morning, according to the phila-
delphia Record.
a curious reporter visited the sta
ton the morning after the order
went into effect. He found that
commuters who hadn't kissed their
wives good-by In years had brought
them to the station for the express
purpose OF violating the regulation.
The officer on guard, afraid to make
a move, reported he had never seen
10 much kissing. Bootleg oscula-
lions popped as American citizens
defended their liberties.
The little story reveals 30 much
about the democratic process that
comment Is superflHous.

Soon the appetizing odors OF ham

Don Inhaled the fragrance while he
talked to the children. He found the
other three just as pleasant as the boy
who had opened the door. There was
something especially likable about
them all.
Don did lot OF thinking while he
ate the delicious meal. His sharp eyes

not the kind that shows itself to the
world unashamed-but the shabby re-
nnement. A few new toys OF the cheap

that Christmas had come to the little

He thought with thrill Of the pack
aye that lay under the back seat of
his car. He was glad now that mis-
take had been made on the shipment
to the Nelson Stores and they had
asked him to bring the things Into the
factory branch for credit.
But instead Of going to the factory
branch, he made up his mind that the
contents OF the package would remain
In the Dalton cottage. And he felt
quite sure that he was going to have
lot more fun out Of the thing he was
going to do than he ever could have

An hour later, after help had come
along. and while he was being towed
/ to the highway, there echoed In his
ears above the plop-plop Of the horses

wishes for happy New Year that the
! Dalton family had repeated with sucf
sincerity. And he felt that such goot
wishes must come true.

broke in at Detroit under Ty Cobb he
has been top-flight gardener. He is
terrific hitter and while not exactly
a graceful fielder he can go and get

His presence in left field for the Ma
tionals unquestionably puts the Giants
one down in the race for outfeld hon
ors. Manush makes himself thorough
nuisance to rival clubs
This year has been no exception. In
midseason, when the Griffmen were
tearing through the West knocking the
cover off the ball, Heinie Manush was
one of the ring-leaders in the massacre.
He reeled off a consecutive hit
