The day started out to be
bright, so everyone put on his
best and went out. A most
colorful scene. but a rain storm
came up lasting for about 10
minutes, so all the "glad rags"
were very much bedraggled, as
there was no cover to go to.
But this did not dampen the
enthusiasm of this ardent
crowd Of sport lovers.

SteeplechaSe, was won by Mrs.
T. H. Somerville's Tereus, after

A brilliant hunt ball was held
in Richmond Saturday night
and most of the socially promi-
nent people Of Virginia were
there.
The Hunter Trials at Bradley
Farms were a great success on
Saturday, and have been writ
ten up ir all the papers, but I
want to mention two of my
favorites. Mrs. Robert Win
mill, winning the Riding and
Hunt Cup Plate, on her My
Toy. This plate was presented
to Mrs. Winmill by Mrs. Curtis
Dali. Then, little Margaret Hill
getting fourth in a class of 80,

the 900 or TOO people had an
interesting afternoon.
Every place was packed out

noon. Such a bright gay crowd
and many happy faces, as I

EUiL Home Influences
May Ruin Children
By DE-. r II

and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
Experts in child behavior are beginning to concern
themselves because Of the fact that modern condi-
tons of civilization have produced a child who is ex-
~ceedingly difficult to handle from the point OF view
Of its social conduct.
However. ever since the time OF Cam and Abel,
children have had trouble getting along with one an
other and there seems to be no reason 10 believe that
motion pictures, motor cars and other innovations
in our environment are primarily responsible for the
development OF what are called unstable or difficult
children.
1t seems possible that the shattered nerves Of pa
the postwar and depression times, may be reflected
rents who have found difficulties in getting through
to a considerable extent in the children.
Authorities recognize the broken home as one Of the
most potent factors In causing Juvenile delinquency.
or 200 consecutive cases Of child delinquency that
appeared in a childrens court IN England. lOl we're
found to come from homes in which the parents were
unable to get along together.
In every one OF these cases, there we're stories OF
family quarrels, pickering. oyerstrained nerves OF mo-
theirs, and il-tempered fathers. The death or deser-
ton OF a parent cruel treatment, destitution, and long
illness are frequent factors in causing a child to get
off the correct path OF living.
AS an indication OF the fact that the delinquency
did not represent any distortion Of the child's intel
ligence or character, the vast majority Of these child
rem, when placed In institutions where they had
heslthful surroundings and proper living conditions,
developed quite properly 50 far as concerns their
metal ad physical growth.
However, m some cases the damages done IN child
hood in a very bad environment may be 20 great
that even years of Institutional care will not bring
about a satisfactory result.
No institution, however perfectly run. can supply
the intimate ana loving contact and the maternal
caresses which every child Graves.
The difficult child is one whose behavior tenos to
make him a nuisance to his elders. He is timid or
sensitive and lacks sOciability.
He suffers usually with nail biting, thumb sucking,
stammering and habit spasms. He finds difficulty
IN getting along in school and he is also likely to
wander away, lie, steal or betrsy extraordinary cruel
ty. None OF these performances is normal TO a child
under proper conditions.
"A study or the situation al home. and Of the child
as well. viii reveal in most cases factors which are
corectable and which when controlled will bring about
a change in the entire nature Of the child concerned.

DEATHS CO UP WITH REPEAL

The first detailed figures OF auto acct
dents for 1884, just made public by the
Travellers Insurance Co., are exceedingly
shocking. During the first 10 months of
this year there has been an increase Of
is per cent in number of traffic fatalities.
More than $4,000 people have been kill
ed by autos since Jan. !; the total for the
year will be upwards of 3 s ,000-an all
time record.
The first question to be asked is. SLOW
far is repeal responsible for this?" The
figures lave not yet been broken down
and analysed: but at first glance alcohol
seems to have played an important part in
the increase.
There has, for instance. been a gain Of
nearly "a per cent in the number of intox-
icated drivers involved in accidents. In
dications are that repeal has made our traf-
.fic problem considerably more difficult.

A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT
TAXES

Probably the most unpleasant subject
TO which the thoughts of the average man
might be directed. especially at this time
Of year, is that Of taxes. And yet, whether
we want it to be so or not, taxes are going
to be the subject Of considerable talk and
probably of iii considered action soon aft
err the first of the year, when the legisla-
ture of Texas c~onvenes.
Taxes, payment and collection of taxes,
doomed right formidably here in the Val
ley during the past week when Federal
Judge T. M. Kennerly ruled against the
efforts Of the Harlingen Irrigation district
to compromise with its b~ondholders under
the terms Of the new federal bankruptcy
act.
II will be remembered that the district
tried to compromise at the rate of 1850
on the dollar and that holders Of 9 per
cent of the bonds of the district fought the
compromise, and were successful before
Judge Kennerly.
The federal judge held that a reason
able effort had not been made by the dis
trict to collect the taxes which would have
enabled the district to meet its interest and
principal payments on the bonds in ques-
ton.
We are going 10 hear more talk along
This line. and the chances are that when
the legislature meets there will be more
opportunist action taken. action which
will not only solve the perplexing question
of the day, but which will merely put off
the evil day. Tn the meanwhile, our va
rious political entities which operate sole
IN through funds furnished by tax collec-
tions. are going to continue TO be seriously
embarrassed.
What the solution Is, we would not pre-
tend to say.
We do say. however, without fear of
contradiction, that some solution must be
found whereby the taxpayer who is in ar
rears is given a chance. and whereby at
the same time the various counties, cities
and school districts are given funds by
which to operate.
Unless it is most emphatically brought
70 the minds Of our legislators that their
constituents expect some decisive and we'll
thought out action on tax matters, the
chances are 100 to | that the legislature
in January will do as il has done in pre-
vious sessions, merely extend the time for
payment Of delinquent taxes without
penalties and interest, and let it 60 at
that.
Such action was entirely fitting and

LAST driving brought Peter and

the third day. For hours Peters
powerful car had been cutting Its
way along a road leading through q
tangle OF tropical growth. A forest
so thick with shadows that Y
seemed late afternoon although the
sun was still high.
Tall pines. palms, huge water
oaks. Flaming hibiscus and the
more delicately hued oleander
breaking the deep green with color.
And over all the intense. broOding
stiffness, broken only by the rustic
OF n leaf or the cry OF a bird
AS the shadows heightened the
gray moss. swaying in the wind,

about him. apart from his rugged

Ann a feeling Of security. Il was
