OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Parental Co-operation.

THIS letter. or the idea in this
letter, is one of the most
familiar to child specialists. 1t
tells an DID, old story. one that
repeats itself in every home that
,ears children, in every generation OF
them:
What can be done about my son.
who is II and disregards what I tell
him. He has been well trained. Every
thing that boy could want has been
given him. Fine schools, special lessons,
good associates and a good nome; all
these have been a matter Of course to
him, and he doesn't appreciate it. He
talks back to me and insists upon hav-
ing his way. He seems to forget what
is due to his mother, if he ever knew it.
A boy who has had that kind of home
background cannot be very much OF
a problem. The problem is his mother.
Her attitude is standing between her
and her son, who is no longer child
but a man. That is the hardest thing
for a mother to realize. AS long as she
lives, she will see this child as her
baby. He may grow into mans estate,
towering above her and casting his
broad shadow over her head, but to her
he is her baby. The most she can do
is to hide the feeling and act as though
she accepted him as man.
That is what all mothers have to DO.
One day there is new man in her
house. From that day on. she must
treat this son as she would treat
man who had come to live in her
household, a dearly loved friend, a
business partner, a close associate, any
thing but a baby. If she can succeed
III making him feel this attitude, she
will continue to hold her sons conf
dence and affection. If she cannot, if
she must know where he is going, with
whom, why, for how long, and when
he will be back, and if then she sits
waiting, listening for his footstep When
ever he has been out of her sight for
few hours, she will drive him away.
Only a brief term of childhood is
granted parents and children. In that
period the parents do all their training
and teaching and leading and driving.
Once. that line has been crossed. the
method changes. The Fundamental
principles may be the same. The child
may need protection and guidance and
discipline, but they must be achieved
through parental cooperation, not
through dictation. There is a new
man, a new woman, in the house, and
things must be adjusted accordingly.
1t is foolish to give orders to a
matured adolescent. He is not going
to take them If he is still so childish
as to need them. there is occasion to
grieve for his lack of development. He
ought to be intelligent enough, dis
clplined enough. matured enough, to
take a suggestion, to talk over situa-
ton, to make his own decisions with
practical wisdom. If he isn't, orders
will not do any good.
Then" says a fearful parent, "if
this boy will not obey me, all I can do
is let him have his own Way?"
That's it. That's what you have to
90 with your husband. your mother
your friend, isn't it? The same thing
is true when the child turns into a
man Just tell yourself there is an
other man in the house. and treat him
accordingly. and you'll have delight
full time. A full grown son or daughter
is delightful person to know. Much
more so than the babies.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS

drop at the two level-or at one no
trump-when neither partner can make
constructive rebid on the second op-
portunity.
Responding Hands.
Let us assume that your partner
cpens in one of the first two positions
with a bid of one diamond to which
you reply with spade. He now bids Q
no trump. What are the chief coE-
siderations to guide you for your next
decision?
Remembering always that by his no
trump rebid your partner has told you
that his hand is defensive in type, so
that you may trust him for three and
a half primary tricks, or at least three
plus some protective intermediates, you
will find it fairly easy to estimate the
playing potentialities of the 26 cards
if you say to yourself: MY partner has
the high cards that his bidding has
indicated, but his distribution is not
helpful-he has no long suit. Can
supply the distribution which we need
for the hand to play well in a suit dec
laration? Failing that, have I enough
high cards to give us a play for game
in no trumps?" When your hand is
definitely weak, your concern is better
expressed thus: Are we safer in one
no trump or in two spades?"
Responder's Suit of Four Cards.
If you made your one-over-one re-
Sponse on a four-card suit you now
know that there is no fit in that suit,
and you cannot under any circum-
stances rebid it. Failing second bid
able four-card suit, your choice is be-
tween passing and raising to two no
trumps. This raise would be a very
encouraging invitation bid-opener IS
strongly urged to raise to three; so
you dare not raise in no trumps unless
you want him to play for game Since
the partnership has no five-card suit
in its 26 cards, feel that when you,
too. cannot rebid your suit because it is
a four -carder you should not raise to

a minimum, in which case he must
either pass the no trump or else, if
his suit is long though weak, rebid his
suit-a positive sign off in reply to the
openers sign-off This rebid of the
suit merely says: The hand looks
safer to me in two Of my suit than in
one no trump. My suit is long enough

if you have only two small cards in it.
At least, for the purpose of making two
odd in it instead of one odd in no
trumps. If neither contract can be
made, we will be set less-at any rate,
no more-in the suit"
High Speed With Good Brakes.
Obviously, this bidding takes place
far more frequently after a third hand
opening bid than when the partner
has opened first or second hand; never
theless at times pessimistic bidding must
follow even Sims opening bids made in
the first two positions. That is a very
important point-we respond lightly on
the first round, but We are ready to

With less than this you would have

differences and Timing Hand.
If you had the king Of your partners
suit, diamonds, or Qxx, you should bid
two no trumps on a slightly weaker
hand. as now it is almost a sure in
ference that there are four tricks IN
his suit without finesse. so that there
is little fear that he must surrender
the lead to the opponents in the process
of making up the tricks available ir
his own suit. With

by me, one no trump raise to two no
trumps, feeling that If my partner now
goes three, as expect him to. We will
presumably have fair play for it. He

his diamond holding.
II this particular hand is defeated, it
will be only by one trick-at most two
and in the long run we will secure
many games by bidding short-suited
hands in this manner On balance the
chances are greatly in our favor. That
is one great advantage to be derived
from making opening bids by type Of

mary tricks.

years to come.
1t was so at the University of Berlin
81 years ago. Hermann Won Helmholtz
was giving lectures on Physics" and
among his students was Heinrich Hertz,
20 years of age.
Hertz was older than most students
at the university, but there was reason
for it. He had prepared himself to be
an engineer, but he had changed his
plan and was studying the science Of
physics.
Physics Is a broad science It has
to do with motion and energy, with
heat, light, sound and electricity. Hertz
turned his mind to electricity; and in
that field he gave us reason to be
thankful to him.
During or about the year 1888, Hertz
came upon the writings of a Scotch
scientist, James Clerk Maxwell.
Maxwell told reasons why he believed
an electric charge, vibrating back and
forth, would travel far into space, at
the same speed as light-18600 600 miles
per second. To him belongs great credit,
but he did not make the actual tests to
prove his ideas.
Hertz went to a small city near the
Rhine River, and became a teacher OF
physics. In this -Carlsruhe-he
made the discovery which helped SO
much to lead to the radio. While hold
ing loop of wire in his hand. with the
ends not quite closed. he captured" a
spark produced in another part Of his
laboratory.
What did that mean? 1t meant that
spark could produce another spark
at distant point! 1t meant that with
out the help of a wire between cleo
tricity could be made to 60 from one
place to another.
Hertz gave further study to electro
magnetic waves, measuring their length

As it was. his work paved the way for
