PARENTS, CHILDREN AND MONEY. BY
Sidonie Matsner Gutenberg and Benjamin c.
Gutenberg New York: The Viking Press.
1T is an old pedagogical dogma that children
learn to do by doing This seems an axiom.
Children will never become wise spenders unless
they are permitted very early to handle small
allowance, not as favor or as reward for
good behavior, but as educational measure.
The authors of this practical book discuss many
aspects of the relation of children to money
and ask some important questions, such as:
How long should children be shielded from
the sordid aspects of money in business hfe?"
What can be done for a child who seems to
have no money sense?" "Hew can we avoid
having children measure all values IN terms of
money!" Should parents let children know of
their money worries?" Should dealings be-
tween members Of the family be conducted on
the basis of contracts or businesslike agree
menssP II How can We help children accept
the fact OF the family's reduced circumstances?"

Young Flu Is q country boy who lives with
his widowed mother in Chung King and
is there apprenticed to a coppersmith As
he runs errands and sees people who have busi-

he is only boy, he sees many things which are
woven by Mrs. Lewis into picture of Chinese

Book Week

IN 1919 was begun the observance by teachers,
librarians, publishers and all parents and
relatives interested in the reading of children,
of children's book week, during which espe-
cial attention should be given to books for
children. Schools and children's departments
of public libraries arrange displays of selected
books and attractive bulletins, and publishers
often time some of their best children's books
for appearance during that week. Book week
for 1888 is from November IL through Novem-
Der 49, and the central theme is, Growing Up
With Books" The children of today are grow
ing up in world where there is likely to be
more leisure than their forebears have ever

Mary Pickford
 Coming to State
Stars in Secrets" De- clared Years Most
 Beautiful Cinema

Mary Pickford in Secrets" is the States offering Saturday, Sum- day, Monday and Tuesday.
 Secrets" is one of the most beautiful productions that has yet come out of Hollywood, and the star looks younger and more amazingly pretty than ever. Her performance is excellent, as is the work of all others in the cast, es- pecially that of Leslie Howard in the role of romantic lover.
 The story begins in Salem, Mass, travels across the continent to Monterey, Calif., and back again to Washington. D.. C., entwining with it the life threads of two eers from youth to old age.
 In addition to beauty and TO- nance, there is also plenty of mel west, the principals are beleaguer- terrifying night fight which deals death along with justice.
 Generally speaking, Secrets" is the story of the love and devotion of a loyal wife who sees her hus- lllI ob5h llisAiy tA yAhS oAtuo- tions to final wealth and political fame. It presents in a very unusual way the problem of wife con- fronted by the fact that her hus- band has been upfaithful. In these dramatic scenes are disclosed some remarkable work on the part of the star and Leslie Howard.
 Anyone who ever doubted that Mary Pickford could act should by all means see this picture. Her per- formance is greatly heightened, of course, by the work of Leslie Howard, who is superb. Also Mona Maris, in the role of the other woman, gives most creditable performance. And Aubrey Smith as the crusty New England father, with Blanche Frederici in the role of domineering mother and Doris Lloyd as the sympathetic aunt who befriends Mary in that gorgeous New England sequence, are en- titled to their share of praise. Secrets" should certainly be seen during it's engagement here as it is unquestionably one of the great film entertainments of the year.

At the strand, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Royal Family in
 Strand Offering
Barrytores in "Rasputin'' Scheduled for Three- Day Showing

The Royal Family of the stage is now the Royal Family of the screen. John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, in their first appear ance together on the screen, prove a triumphant, triumvirate in "Ras- putin and the Empress" super spectacle of the fall of the Roman offs at the Strand Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
 No better vehicle could have been chosen than the dramatic story of the last days of the Ro- manoff dynasty, colorful as a period play yet so modern that II is within the memory of this gen eration. One sees Rasputin in his maze of intrigues, orgies, hypnotic spells and duplicity, and while 1t seems inconceivable, remembers when these self-same things were the topic of the newspapers.
 The Barrymores bring the char acters to virtual life. John is a brilliant figure as the debonair Prince Chegodieff. Ethel Barry more offers a stirring picture of the ill-fated empress. The role was reality to her-the Russian em- press was her friend-and hence she plays it with depth of under standing and knowledge that at once stamps the performance as far beyond mere piece of acting Lionel Barrymore, as the sinister Holy Devil' in makeup that seems to be almost his reincarnation, was never more compelling. Distin- guished work is also done by Ralph Morgan. as the czar Diana Wynward, as Princess Natasha; Tad Alexander as the Czarevitch; C.. Henry Arnold and Edward Arnold.

CHINESE RETAKE
CITY FROM JAPAN
Stiffening of Defense
Due to Mass Pressure

TIENTSIN, China, April l0.-Sudden
Chinese resistance to the Japanese
advance has led TO the recapture of
ChinWangtao, and the disorderly re-
treat of the Manchukuo forces from
Hiayang and Liukang to Shihmenchai
The Japanese are attempting to
maintain their lines here, while the
Chinese forces are making q decisive
effort to force them through the CHI
linen Pass and outside the Great
Wall.
This unexpected Chinese resistance
arises from the tremendous nationalist
and anti imperialist sentiment
among the Chinese masses which has
been betrayed by the Nationalist Gov
ernment and its leader Chang Kai-
Shek. The Chinese Soviets offered
TO unite with all forces ready to carry
on a war against japanese imperial
Ism. The answer of the Marking
Government was to direct its forces,
not against the Japanese imperialist
invasion, but in a last attempt to
crush the Chinese Soviets in order
to curry favor with the imperialist
powers.
