HY YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton .
S 5s5s 57 'Nif7 sfa2Ir1: iivS:

"How are the chfidren7" in uuired Mrs Holmes. Mrs Clark, her caller. replied that they were very well.
 "How fortunate," sighed Mrs Holmes. Beth has had a series oi summer colds. really don't be- iieve she is At to go back to school"
 The conversation turned on school for a few minutes, but t was more about Beth's school prospects than about Mrs Clark's chiidren's school prospects,
 The visitor, sensing this, listened as patiently as possible to ell the misfortunes of Beth during the last two years.
 Clothes were the next thing. Mrs Clark said she wanted to take Tn sale of rain coats on the way home.
 Center of Conversation
 Mrs Holmes related in detail all about Beth's rain coat. Then she went over Beth's wardrobe, piece by piece-where she had seen the plaid dress and how she had copi- ed 1t for half price; how 1t hap- pened that her aunt had knitted her a green sweater instead of q blue; and how the dimity had fad cd.
 Mrs Clark was there an hour. Tn that time her hostess turned every trick of conversation toward Beth. Beth sat and listened. When she had the opportunity, she would say Mama, tell Mrs Clark about the time I fell into the lake" or "Tell about the time the lady at the library said was snort"
 When Mrs Clarksleft she thought several things; but 1t doesn't here just matter what she thought.
 We are interested in Beth.
 She had gone down the street to her aunt's. Her aunt had call- CTS, too.
 Nobody was paying much atten- ton to Beth. She sat while then said suddenly, Dear me! Dear mo! Dear me!
 Everybody stopped and looked at her. What's wrong?" asked her aunt.
 "oh-r guess--never mind," said Beth and sat down again.
 Auntie Steps In The talk went on. This would not do. I'm not very we'll" she said suddenly. T guess can't go to school"
 Everybody stared for Q minute and then went on talking about Q tennis tournament.
 Beth broke in a dozen times without success. Finally she said, T knowIa nice dance. I'll do 1t on the grass"
 You won't" snapped auntie, You're going home."
 Beth went off to tell her mother how she had been insulted. over tho phone that evening the two sisters had 1t out.
 People get tired of hearing about Beth" said auntie. And they get tired hearing her, too, You've made her think sho Is the center of the universe. 1t isn't her fault. Try to be interested in other peoples children and try to get her interested in some one else besides herself. If youdon't watch out she's going to be called The Pest And will you like that?" We must not be too hard on either this little girl or her mother, But If we are in danger of over. exploiting our children, they are in danger, too. Nobody likes tho over. important child. It is Q ruinoui course to take.

 EVE BAYLEss, pretty assistant 10 EARLE BARNES, advertising nnnnager of Bixby's dcpartn1ent store, marrics DICK RAIDER, construction superintendent. He wants her to give up her job but she refuses. Eve does not want her employers toN know she is married, 60 they keep the mar ringe secret several months. At Christmas they announce 1t. They spend . brief vacation Ut the home of Evc's parents.
 Back at tho office MARYA vLAD, fashion artist, and AR- LENE SMITH, stenographer, greet Eve excitedly. Eve knows that MONA ALLEN, the new copy writer, dislikcs her and is trying tO cause trouble for her. The office boy tells Eve that Mona hopes to get her job, ....s
 CHAPTER XIV.
 Arlene and Marya said they hoped Eve would continue her work. Mona Allen permitted one corner of her mouth to lift in a scornful culver.
 The office boy entered then, ai- most buried under the stack of newspapers he was carrying. He tossed the papers on a large flat topped desk and smiled brightly as he greeted Eve. Approaching her desk, he scowled darkly and whis- pered, Don't lot Miss Allen get your job. She's counting on it!"
 The ofiice boys warning, Don't let Miss Allen get your job; she's counting on it," was still echoing in Eyes ears when the buzzcr sum- moned her to MT Barnes office. Her heart seemed to skip beat as she entered the room.
 The advertising managers greet ing was pleasant enough but brief. T need hardly say" he told her frankly. "that should have hesi- tatod to recommend you for Miss the time of your marriage. But since you have started tho work you may continue for the present and we'll see how 1t goes. How ever, the situation comes down to this; Bixby's will permit no divided interest. We will tolerate no devi- ation from the standard of excel- fence which heretofore has marked your work"
 Considering his natural brusque- ness, Eve felt that Barnes had been fairly diplomatic. But he had made clear the fact that sho was still on trial at Bixby's instead of being firmly established. The lcast in. dication of carelessness on her part would be sure to be attributed to her marriage. Barnes' statement, together with Charles warning about Mona's designs, showed Eve clearly that thcre must Do no let- down in her work.
 She realized. too. that she had undorestimated Mona. Tho girl had ability of . sort. And shc had a way of flattering men that Eve know sometimes advanced wo. man In the business world more rapidly than did hnrd work, even with such clear.hoaded, fair-mind. mon as Earle Barnes and Mir Blk by.
 Eve's code forbade trying to takc tho place of an established work '', .ona obviously had no such scrupies. We'll, Eve decided, 1t was of no use to borrow trouble. So long as tho girl played reason. ably fair Eve would take no no- tiee of her antagonism. To do otherwise would create m unpless- ant situation in the office.

I think the chief differences between men and women are not natural differences but learned dif- ferences. Men have more practice in give and take; they have devei- oped more rigid rules of the game"; they are rebuked more by their fellow men if they do not play fair. I doubt that they are naturally more mngnanimous but they have developed more elaborate rituals for putting up an appear anee of magnanimity.

pADY JoMN PLAYS ALONE
Mrs Josnson told us n good stol

Mrs Josnson told us a good story
 the other day about Bill and Mary.
 ono morning when Bill was five and Mary just over n year old, she left Bill in charge of Mary while she herself prepared lunch. The children were playing on the porch, and judging from the sounds of hammering and gurgles of laugh ter they seemed to be having Q good time. Suddenly Mary be. gan crying at tho top of her voice. When Mrs Johnson went to see what was tho matter sho found Mary sitting on the floor, unable to move. That young rascal, Bill, had nailed her dress firmly to the boards, all around, and had gone off to play with the boy next door. We all laughed at Bills ingenui- ty, though we sympathized too with Mary's dilemma when she found herself deserted and helpless. II Is quite natural for 0 five.year-old to want to play with others of his own age and 10 scorn the games with others of his own age and to Mrs Johnson has had somewhat the same difficulty with Robert and Baby John this summer, since Robert Is now four and half and Baby John not yet two. However. that problem has now given place to another. Now that Robert has started kindergarten and the older children are back at school, young John has to amuse himself these days.
 Even if she thought 1t wise, Mrs Johnson hasn't the time to play with John all day long. But she Is anxious for him to learn to be independent, so she makes virtue of necessity and merely sees to 1t that he Is safe and has things to play with.
 Every morning after breakfast she dresses John comfortably and puts him out to play in the back yard. By comfortably I mean that if the day is hot she puts on his sun suit and hat and shoes. If it is chilly she either adds a sweater or substitutes overalls. Now that the weather is more changeable she is careful to see that he is neither too warm nor too cold.
 John is quite safe playing alone in the backyard, for there is a stout renee around lt, ana q gate which fastens securely. On no ac- count would she let him play on the sidewalk for she knows how dangerous that is.
 As to toys, John has the sand pile where he spends hour after hour making sand pies and splash ing around with a shallow pan of water. He has a clothes pin for a boat and an ancient saucepan ] and kitchen spoon for drum and drum stick. Soon he will be using the swing and Roberts jungle gym. He has his building blocks. and Roberts outgrown wooden train which he pulls around the yard. If it rains he and his toys are transferred to the porch, where he Is left equally undisturbed.. Mrs Johnson does not believe in elaborate toys for young children. Nor does she believe in constantly supervising their play. Of course. she keeps an eye on John from the window as she goes about her work. and every now and then she

Southeast Residents Attack
Rendering Firm in
Petitions.

Petitions have been filed with
state, county and city officials by
more than eighty property owners
and residents of the southeastern
part of the city urging that the
rendering plant of the John Wach-
tel Company, Southern avenue and
Illinois Central railroad, be declared
nuisance.
Conference of the various officials,
company representatives and petit
TONERS will be held in an effort to
decide upon course of action.
Odors from the plant, the petit
ton declares, are injurious to near
by residents and reduce value of
property in the vicinity.
City health authorities state they
have received many complaints re-
garding the plant, and have made
Investigations.
They explain, however, that they
are powerleSs to act due to a state
law which provides that an indus
try in which more than $4,000 is
invested can not be closed or forced
to close except on court order-in
a proceeding to which the state
must be party.

be arousing the curiosity of most
motorists is the reason for use OF the
octane. It's all the fault OF the
technologists-the research engl-
neers who develop and test gasolines
in the many refinery laboratories
throughout the country.
After trying out many testing
fuels to which gasolines might be
compared for absence Of knock,
these scientists finally agreed on
mixture of octane and heptane, two
pure hydrocarbons which burn like
Gasoline. Octane won't knock; hep
tame makes motor sound like r1v-
citing machine. AS the proportion
of octane to heptane in the testing
fuel varies. so does the amount OF
knock vary.
The gasoline motorists buy is
tested in a one-cylinder motor, un-
der conditions which stimulate those
of actual automobile operation. The
test engine is equipped with dials
to show force of defamation, or
knock, and to record temperature
conditions.
If the gasoline knocks just like
testing fuel composed of so per cent
octane and so per cent heptane,
then the anti-knock rating of that
gasoline is called so octane. If the
gasoline's defamation is the same as
that of a 10 per cent octane-30 per
cent heptane mixture, the gasoline
is 10 octane, which is just right for
modern high-compression motors,
according to automotive engineers.
But pure octane and pure heptane
cost about $25 a gallon. Their use
exclusively as testing fuel would be
like burning so many dollar bills.
In actual testing, then, fuels with
known characteristics in relation to
standard octane-heptane mixtures
are used as standard by which
gasolines to be tested are evaluated.
So after all, octane number is an
arbitrary figure, valuable only be-
cause it is the one on which all re-
finers have agreed as a measure of
anti-knOck quality.

BUILDING STRIKE
PEACE is NEAR
Some Carpenters Return to
Work; Pay Raises Are
Granted.

Tieup of construction work in the
city resulting from action of the
local carpenters union Tuesday in
calling out all union carpenters in
wage dispute, today was abating,
with a number of the men back at
work.
Some carpenters employed on the
new Indiana university dental
school and on several smaller prof.
ectS returned to work today, when
contractors agreed to pay the union
scale of $114 an hour.
Contractors on other jobs were
expected to capitulate soon to the
union demands.
The carpenters were called out,
it was explained, because contrac-
tors were paying less than the union
scale, some as low as 40 cents an
hour.
About 200 union men were affect
ed by the call issued by the union.

To overcall with one spade shows
partner a hand in which you are
not strong enough to make a mega
tive double, as you are not pre-
pared to play the hand at two
spades.
South bid two clubs. West bid
two spades-not bothering to show
the diamond suit. North bid three
hearts. East went to three spades,
South went to four hearts and West
took the contract to four spades.
South's opening Lead was the jack
Of hearts. which East, the declarer,
won with the. queen. In counting
the hand the declarer could see one
losing spade, a losing diamond, and
a losing club--game in sight.
But here is the danger Of the
hand - there may be a singleton
diamond out.
If the declarer leads spade it
will be won by the ace and now the
singleton diamond may be led, the
ace cashed and the diamond ruffed,
which would defeat the contract.
To prevent this, the declarer leads
a diamond. leading the jack. and
now when South wins with the ace,
it would lead into this set-up suit
in dummy. so his natural play is
the king of clubs. North should
play the deuce, hoping to encourage
his partner to shift to a diamond.
OF course, if the diamond suit is
played, North will ruff and the con-
tract will be defeated. However, if
South makes any other play the
contract of four odd is made.

BUICK GAIN CONTINUES
First Ten Days of August Show In
crease Over July.

Bucks sales success in July was
eclipsed in the first ten-day period
of August by retail volume
amounting to almost 159 per cent
of the deliveries recorded during
the first ten days of August, 1882,
according to w. F. Hufstader,
Buick sales manager.
1.-THE medium price market is
showing daily gains in strength"
said Hufstader. Under normal
conditions, the sales trend at this
time of year should be definitely
downward But Buick sales for the
entire month of July showed an
increase of .88 per cent over the
same month last year.
Nov, with the early days Of
August bringing continuation of
that improvement, it appears that
a great deal of belated buying is
coming into the market and that
the usual expectation charts are
being proved pleasantly wrong"

BANK REOPENINC
TO Be SPEEDED
AS AID TO NRA
Roosevelt Is Expected to
Tackle Job Because of
Recovery Tieup.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Liber-
alization Of treasury policy to hasten
reopening of closed banks was fore
cast today as pressure increased for
prompt action.
Demands for a change of policy
became so insistent that Currency
Comptroller j. F. T. O'Connor is
going to the country tonight with
an address explaining what the
treasury is up against in reopening
banks. More than $4,000, 0OO, 900 still
is tied up.
President Roosevelt is expected to
tackle this problem shortly because
Of its connection with his recovery
program. Freeing of frozen funds
materially would assist the buy
now campaigns getting under way.
The treaSury's slow procedure was
attacked again today in two quar-
ters-by Former Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer, counsel of the
national depositors' committee, rep
resenting 5000, 900 depositors, and
by the committee for the nation,
composed of outstanding business
men and economists.
Each offered plans for speeding
up bank reopenings. Both empha-
sizeo the need of freeing money to
increase purchasing power and but
tress the recovery campaign. Pal
mer charged that some conServators
are in no hurry to open their banks
since they are making better salar-
les now than they did as employees
of the bank-a serious indictment.
AT the present rate, he said, it
would take two years to open all
the banks.
THE governments delay in re-
pairing the nations banking struc-
ture has brought serious harm to
individuals and communities and
has become menace to national
recovery" said the committee of
the nation.
1T is important to the admins
tration's recovery plans that frozen
deposits, should be released as soon
as possible Palmer declared.
He said it Is possible under his
plan,. now being considered by
OConnor, to open almost all of the
restricted banks at once. He pro-
posed to classify restricted banks
into four groups with definite re-
quirements for each, give them sixty
days to comply and then liquidate
those which failed to comply.
