E5Gg YOUR
 CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
Life is a pretty tough thing!
07o55 SY MA SERVICE. 7Nc

Life is pretty tough thing! Some get 1t one way, others an- other, but everybody gets it in the long run. Sometimes those who ap- pear to be most fortunate suffer bitter agonies merely from their own feelings. One of the richest women I know is so painfully shy as to be almost a recluse, shun- ming society because she is so easily embarrassed and she dwells for days on a misunderstood word that she is sure was meant to off, fend her.
 There is nothing to be done about her. It is too late, much too late. She may have been born with contra social disposition, but even if she had, much could have been done to thicken the sensitive fabric of her feelings.
 The child must learn to take the breaks as they come, whether it is a spit ball from the rear seat or someone calling names from the corner lot.
 Not only this but he, or she. should learn to take real hurt as a casual thing and physical discom- fort as part of the days history.
 By all that is sacred do not mean that little people should suf- fer, nor do mean they should get 1t into their heads that the world is something to defend oneself against every minute.
 They need love and sympathy and cherishing. They need fun and kindness and understanding. But Q regular regiment of these things will be like mortar without cement, bricks without straw, food without salt. They leave q child not only vulnerable 10 misfortune but to his own feelings. He becomes the "sensitive' child.
 Take any kind of trouble. what is 1t? The trouble in itself? Or the feelings in our hearts and minds toward that trouble? The minute we pity ourselves we are done for.
 Then what would I advise about hardening children?
 I should love them and sym pathize with them, but not when the blow falls. Self pity ignites like gasoline. even from dis tance. It is there ready to reach out and burst into flame. Don't rush and cry over Johnny when he gets hurt. Don't snuggle Louise when she's been called names or hasn't been invited to 6 party. Don't berate the offenders and rush off to the telephone to call up their mothers. Don't go Jumping on the teacher because Susie didn't get her regular paE> ner and had to march with a child she didn't like.
 Don't tell the children you are

Harry talked on as Sue sliced the bread, spread it thick'with but ter and cheese, put the slices to- gether and slipped the sandwich es into the pans that waited to grill them.
 "The boy needed money :. needed it in a hurry . and couldn't get it, it seems. He must have been appealing to Corrinne."
 I heard her say-"but you can't make me give you money, Bob. can't get it for you. l won't get it for you!" Then the lad raved about the fact that shc had broken her engagement to him, so he had picked up with that little street strumpet be- cause of it. and well, he needed money"
 Seems to me Corrinne was be- ing loyal" Sue answered. What more can you want, Harry"
 "She hasn't bought any new clothes lately. There haven't been any bills coming. But her check book balance shows that she has spent money. I know where 1t went. To that youngster of course. And why?"
 "Oh Harry. Harry, you're so funny" Sue told him. laughingly. "Of course it did and merely be- cause he's a friend. He needed help and she was sporting enough to come across" "She could have told me. l would have written a check" That was the thing she didn't want you to do. Don't you see that this was an equation between her and Bob. something that they had to solve? Stop losing pounds over it and forget it."
 Am I the object of discussion % A low voice, dancing a little in its impishness, yet with a warning in the turbulence of it's tones inter- rupted. I'm sorry l interrupt ed.''
 You didn't interrupt" Sue an- swered quickly. You camo just in time. Tell Harry why you did not let him know that Bob was drawing on old friendship by way of currency. He's puzzled"
 "I don't mind telling now that you ask. I couldn't before. promised not to. Bob's a nice boy
 
 grown up. He needs somebody to look after him. He got mixed up with a lady in bright red coat that knew her way down too many streets and he had to pay her some money so she would go sit on nobody else's doorstep. He was scared he's. a nice boy who never was mixed up with anything like it before and he remem- bered that we had worked trig to- gether and done irregular French verbs. l was of his own age-a contemporary. And well, we used to be romantic about each other. so he came to me. At least, that's what I thought at first. The main reason was because I had access to money. Nobody else did. He borrowed some not very much =. and I have his note and he's paying it back as soon as he can. That's all"

Janet fled up the stars to her bed- room. She closed the door behind her and sank into the big chair. | What was to happen now? Was Betty angry? Did she really sus- pect Janet and Rolf were inter- ested in each other?
 They were all questions without an answer. What would Betty say to her mother tomorrow? 4 distorted story, of course, if she told any.
 T won't worry" Janet told herself firmly. There's nothing to worry about because nothing happened!"
 She arose then and faced her self in the mirror. It was true. Nothing had happened. but how perilously narrow was the mar gin! It was q good thing Betty had come. even though she had misunderstood the situation. Five minutes more alone with Rolf and Janet knew she could not have trusted herself. She did not quite | trust herself now.
 She moved about the room ner- vously, picked up magazine and put it down. There was nothing | to which she could settle down. | Finally she undressed and hung away the white gown. She filled the tub with water. bathed and. | though it was still early, turned out the light and slipped into bed. If Betty ever mentioned the scene in the library to her mother | Mrs Curtis did not speak of it. | Preparations for the trip to Silver Bay went on next morning just as they had before. Tho only diff | ference was that now Janet was eager to get away. She had thought little about the trip; now sho looked forward to it. Her confidence had been shaken and the summer resort seemed a ref uge.
 Wednesday morning they were | to depart. Tuesday was a day of feverish activity with packing to be completed, last minute errands, in- terruptions by the telephone and by the doorbell, friends calling to see Mrs Curtis, and Mrs Curtis changing her mind about this and that.
 Janet was never quite able to understand why so many details that would have been arranged simply anywhere else became im- mensely complicated in this household. Try as she would. she could not seem to plan otherwise. Mrs Curtis would refuse to make up her mind utnil the last min-
 ute or she would make 1t up early and then change 1t.
 | It was with kee.I relief that Janet saw locks fastened and keys
 turned in the baggage Wednesday
 morning. It was with keen relief,
 too, that she followed Mrs Curtis
 from the house the waiting limousine. Frederick would drive
 them to the station. bring the car
 back and store 1t and then set of on his own vacation.
 | "You're sure. Janet, that you
 haven't forgotten anything!" Mrs
 Curtis asked anxiously as the
 motor car drew away. "You're
 sure you have the ticketsf" (To Be Continued)

would take a great deal more time
TO do. and if il was not done. they
would get nothing to eat and be
punished in many ways.
People were so disconnected even
worse than under the Czar. The
government took ali they made and
raised, and would hardly feed them
enough to live IN. Old people about
so would just starve to death and
If some of the others would try
and feed them, such as sons and
daughters, the government would
give them a great deal less.
1t was all In the hands of the
Communists, or the Comrades as
they were called, which were people
who had never done any work
only agitate. People that had no
reason whatever. and people that
know nothing about actual work,
these people get lots of good things
to eat and had a good time, but the
actual workers, the slaves, he said
were worse than slayes. They starve
and are driven around like mules.
The lowest of conditions that can
be. When Americans come ovee
there they get treated fine, and get
a chance to see only the good side.
Their big farms, and their building
up of the country. The don't get a
chance to see the misery of the nil
lions of slaves that suffer.
1t is only the last two years that
the could get a letter from there
without part of it being stolen away
but the last two years they get 1t
all. sometimes it has been opened,
but they get it all anyway.
If some people, get together for
religious services and get caught,
the Comrades get clubs and drive
them out of the country as outlaws
and il mi is drove out, you just
starve. The government has a rec
ord and there Is no chance for you
II you have once been driven out.
The story this boy told me Is the
worst have ever heard, il such is
Communism one should hang his
head in shame to be a Communist.

If people like you We're in Russia
and agitated against the govern
ment like you do. | am afraid you
would not last long. The Russian
government doesn't allow such. II
seems as though they are getting
more bold and drive their people
more in the open than was done a
few years ago.
I am asking you. how many Owe
in Russia are there that are living
under conditions like this boys ia
theirs relatives? | also want TO ask
you what rot are you now giving

ton by Karl Marx. Ten percent

You go Morgan one better. If Rus

loan you the money, but he may
be too big to get it from. you may
be made to pay it back. You 90

feed the people an dnot pay 1t out
In ten percent interest.
You can print this letter in your
paper have copy Of it. 1t is only
fair that the people get to know
all the facts about Communism.
| myself would hardly like TO
have someone like Mother Bloor to
drive me around without much to
eat, and she have plenty and the
best.
One of my neighbors told me
that he could not work at common
labor, and make a living, like most
of us around here have to do. But
this same ~neighbor could bum we
poor farmers for money and call us
traitors to the Party If it was not
forthcoming. | am afrafd7t the kind
of Communism you advocate will
not work very good.
Just a few agitaters will have
the best and drive the rest around
and starve them.
