"GUTTER GARAGES"

1t is noticeable that police in var
ious cities have started campaigns
against persons parking their auto
mobiles on the streets outside their
homes all night. During the recent
snowstorm there was much trouble
because of this. Snow plows had
difficulty in clearing main streets
where cars were parked in the gut
tiers. The use of these gutter
garages" in many cases i~nterferes
seriously with other motorists, and,
in addition, offer splendid oppor-
tunities for thieves.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1898
1888

1873
We spent the year of 1880 in
trying to laugh off our troubles
In 1881 fear gripped our hearts,
and we saw the spooks of chaos
around every corner.
1882 was a year of fantasy, OF
anxious seeking for magic RENE
dies; of an eager acceptance of the
theory that the cure for all u ills
could be pulled out of a hat.
1t is time we faced realities.
The best New Years gift this
country could receive is a stiff
dose of cold common sense.
If 1888 brings us-,to a realiza-
ton that our suffering is due to
our reckless and wilful disregard
of all the laws of prudence and
sanity; to a mad desire to get
something for nothing, and to our
childish faith that economic laws
can be set aside by the universal
will, then the new year will mark
a return to better times.
We have been punished-sev-
erely so.
But punishment was in store for
a people whose economic sins were
so gross and in such reckless de-
fance of all that history should
have taught us.
We have yet to acknowledge,
however, that it was the depar-
ture from age-old traditions of
honesty and morahryL thar led us
into the morass of business con-
fusion. We have professed to be-
lieve it was due to the wicked
Vaccinations of international
bankers, to a general conspiracy
against us led by the crafty STAT
esmen of Europe, to blundering
politicians and feeble fnanciers.
And we still believe that the
sun Of prosperity can be lured
'ver the horizon by some delight
full hocus pocus Of doubling all
the dollars in the country so that
we shall all have twice as much to
spend.
In a period when lack of work
is the curse of the country, we
have greeted with wild enthusiasm
some hair-brained scheme that
pretends to abolish work for the
greater part of the p~opulace, and
provide people with more of the
necessaries and luxuries of life than
they can use.
What fantastic dreams.
Let us wake up to some degree
of the old-time sense of response
bility.
There is no easy way out for us.
There are no new economic
ways which can be invoked to re-
pair the rents we have torn in the
old ones. \
There is no economic magician
among us who can produce prs
perity to order.
We must stop dreaming AMI
get down to facing the facts.
If we can summon the will to
do so, then 1888 should be a lies
sed year.

ROBERT JOHNSON GOES 10
 KINDERGARTEN

Mrs Johnson tells me that we have two new residents in town or rather that two of our former residents have come back to work among us. They are two girls who have been away at college study ing kindergarten work and they have come back to start a kinder garten in their home town.
 I have always been sorry that we had no kindergarten, for the community always has a fine crop of four and five year olds, and can't help feeling that they have been rather neglected by those who are responsible for our educational system. The grade school and high school youngsters are well pro- vided for, and of course they should be, but it seems to me that we ought to remember the, pre- schoolers too. And particularly ought we to do it in times like these. I know from personal observation that there are many more pre-school children playing on the street than there ever were before. I suppose it's because more mothers are working or out look ing for work. But whatever the reason. I've felt for long time that we, as a community, ought to provide some place where the four and five year olds can be safe and happy as their bigger brothers and sisters in school.
 Moreover, most intelligent people agree that the habits child learns during the first five years of his life are the ones that he never

 Summer shoes do lot for the girl with wide feet. a-
 Sandals with a T-strap arrange ment up the vamp go long way towards trimming the appearance of a foot in half.

 eve open for all these little foot helpers. And remember, if you get a half-size longer shoe, you'll probably be able to wear them a size narrower. Don't try to pinch your feet, particularly in summer. 1t never pays. But more length is more comfort, by and large. Ana 1t slenderizes your foot, too.
 Gray shoes and beige ones al- ways make feet look larger than darker tones. But if you want them, get the kind that have cut outs or appliqued designs that run vertically up the vamp. Try pumps on one foot and look to see if that foot doesn't. look larger than the one in oxfords or sandals before buying them. Usu- ally pumps make, fat foot look wider than sandals do.
 Evenings things are all in favor of the girl with wide or big feet this summer. Coming practically to the floor, feet made less differ ence. But, the open-shank eve ming slipper, with the fat foot sticking out over the side, never gives so sleek and well-groomed an appearance as the more con- servative type of evening shoe.

EYYQUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
9zsss U SSz y7Sz!Ss' ssS -

A talk on children recently in- cluded these words. "The indulged, over-coddied child Is usually an impudent child"
 It Is true. All we have to do Is to look about us, observe the par ents who cannot say -"no" and 1is- ten to the way their children re- ceive an order.
 When they are IS or 20 those same youngsters grow up into pirates without the least respect or love for their mother and father, breaking their hearts in a hundred different ways. Then all the neigh bors say, What a shame! And after ali they have done for them tool"
 1 warn all parents that if they are buying a child's love now through sheer indulgence and weakness they will buy it still more dearly later on, if they can get 1t at all.
 Discipline Is First
 It happens that I am one who does not believe in interfering too much in a child's life. have for years advocated. giving the child his natural chance to develop and grow without too many orders. But not for a minute have meant that the child be allowed to step beyond the line. If he is to appreciate liberty he must first learn discipline. He must learn that commands mean quick action. He must learn respect for his par ents--not fear, but respect. Once 8 mother shows weakness. she shows her hand. Her child knows that she is afraid-afraid of losing his love. Instantly that puts him in command of the sit uation and, make no mistaken, he will seize it.
 Such children are fine and sweet tempered when everything is going their way, but cross them and out comes the impudence, the rages, the sulks, or some sort of devilish- ness that the spoiled mind seems to find such delight in. These thing are all "compensations' for thwarted will.
 There will be no thwarted will if parents begin in babyhood to make it understand they are the captains of the family. To get love, respect, and trust they must be humane and loving captains, of course, but they must make it clearly understood that there will be no nonsense. Merge Love With Control If they are going to officer their children by overlooking all breaches, sign leaves of absence every hour, be blind to non-salutes, and generally hand out dispensa- tions they cannot expect their small armies either to observe dis cipline or respect them. Unless there is a favor in sight the chill dren will not obey. And even then it is questionable.
 How different it is to merge the two things, love and control. It is strange that love depends so much upon respect, and repsect, in turn, upon intelligent control. but such is the case.

really forgets. It seems pity, therefore, not to make the most of those first five years.
 I'm glad to say that both MT and Mrs Johnson agree with me. They are going to send Robert to the new Kindergarten just as soon as it opens He has been attending Mrs Mays Nursery school during the past year, but now that he Is nearly four and half he is ready for something more advanced. Kindergarten >will give him a chance to mix with children little older as well as younger than him self, and from what hear of the average kindergarten equipment he'll not only have tho time of his life but he'll also be splendidly prepared to enter grade next year.
 Mrs Johnson explained to me that the kindergarten training which Robert will receive is care fully worked out to form a link between the nursery school and the grade school, so that there is no break in continuity.
 She also told me enthusiastically that the good health habits which Robert has developed in Mrs May s school won't be neglected. She and the mothers of the other youngsters will be invited to con- suit with the new teachers on such questions as midday lunches. daily maps and so on. And Robert him self will learn more and more to share the responsibility for his own good health.
 Altogether. it seems to me that

 "But I can't-she would fire me-
 sNo, she won't. I'd hire you again. Only of course 1t wouldn't be much fun working for her after that. She's a crosspatch anyway. Let's fire her."
 She even laughed at a vision of the impeccab1e woman's face when she was told that her services were no longer wanted.
 "You wouldn't" The girl said, impressed.
 ''No, Anne, of course not. I don't believe in separating jobs and people. Only, want my son and daughter!" She remembered then that there would be jobs for neither of the, women in just a few days. Where are you going with your children? Won't you need the nurses help while you are gone?" the girl asked. ''No. Not for a while" Corrinne walked back into the placing the telephone.

"It's all right of course. Perfectly all right! It's grand! It's gorgeous. It's" Her voice was rising. She. ran out of the room, banging the door behind her.
 So she wasn't to be allowed her own children. She must work quietly, secretively. She could pre- tend to be amiable. Then she would take them away some day. But she realized that this plan was hopeless. The nurse would never let them out of her sight.
 'If wait days and days and grow calm and friendly" Corrinne unused, "she may forget. She'll let me tumble them into the car for drive.'

Sister Mary's
 Kitchen.

Some authority on Americana tells us that the early cabinet-ma- kers who were so fond of carving the pineapple on bed posts and ta- ble legs considered it a symbol of hospitality and rare perfection. Certain it is that at all times and seasons pineapple scan be relied on to give the finishing perfect touch to menus.
 Fortunately it is one of the fine fruits that loses nothing of it's de- liciousness at the hands of the canners. However, when the fresh fruit is plentiful in the markets, it is particularly welcome both as a food and q tonic.
 Prepare Fruit Carefully
 When using fresh pineapple. a thorough scrubbing with a stiff brush and water is a wise precau- tion before pairing off the rind.
 There's an aStringent in the skin and eyes of pineapples that often makes the mouth sore, so infinite care should be taken in preparing the fruit for the table. The easiest way to do this is to cut off the in inch slices. Then pare off the ShAh uAi0 0A5 Oak tAO SyOS W4lil O sharp pointed knife. Remove the hard core in the center and cut the flesh in dice or shred as pre- ferred.
 If the fruit is sprinkled with sugar at least an hour before serv- ing, the flavor is more bland and the sugar penetrates through the fruit. The vitamin content is good, comparing favorably with oranges.
 Hints in Selecting
 It's easy to select fine fruit when marketing. because pineapples have few imperfections.. An even, golden yellow color denotes full ripening. Pulling the leaves from the crown is another way to determine ma- turity. The leaves should pull easily and be white for some distance up from the base. Never chose fruit

that is hard and green looking un- less it is to be kept for several days before using. Oveh-ripe pineapples are soft and frequently have black spots on their surface,
 Remember that both the fruit and the juice of fresh pineapple must be scalded before they are added to a gelatine mixture. Oth- erwise the jelly won't ''jell."
