What Price Governors

Not so long ago, the arch op-
ponent Of full pay restoration
for Government employees, Rep
resentative Thomas L. Blanton,
the fiery gentleman from Abb
lene, Tex, rose in the House to
crate against giving employees
the is per cent which had been
taken from their salaries.
AS one of his oratorical utter.
anceS, Tom shouted:
1--WE should not give these in
creaSes, especially to employees
who are drawing more than
$4,000.
"Why, do you know that the
governors Of 10 States do not
draw more than $4,000 annu-
ally"
To which a gentleman from
New York who usually wears a
carnation, :'eplied:
"That is all most Of them are
WORTH"

Hot Dogs VS.. Horses
The food problem for the

early in April has been set
tied.
Mrs. william C. Hanson has
been selected as chairman of
the lunch committee and from
all indication the committees
named will avert any danger Of

the trials. Particularly, as Mrs.
Marchall Exnicios, Mrs. John j.
Bohn and Mrs. Robert M. Gug-
genheim will unleash a pack of

AS for the hunter trials, it
is certain that the trial COM
.mittee will make different
arrangements than those in
effect last year.
, An outside organization that
assisted the trial committee re-
ceived all the receipts of the
trials.
The trial committee received

The children are out of school.
What are they doing? Sitting
about on steps and curbstones,
their chins in their hands, their
bicycles and skates thrown aside
because they are tired of them?
Have they already begun to say,
"What'll I do now mom?"
Mothers who haven't heard this
annual plant to date at least are
expecting it. For one or two
weeks after the janitor closes the
big schoolhouse doors and locks
them for the summer, thousands
of children lose that look Of pur-
pose, begin to quarrel because they
are bored, and their mothers begin
to worry What in the world are
they to do with them?
For one thing, I should make
them help with the work. Each
child should have an allotted task
to do every day and be made to
do it.
But this still leaves empty hours.
And these empty hours should be
filled, not with more superimposed
tasks or driftless play that soon
bores a child, but with something
that gives him outlet and at the
same time a definite goal.
The only difference between work
and play is interest.
Look about. What is there that
a boy would like to do? Or girl?
Both enjoy the same things as
rule.

problem by building up compensa-
tons that lead to healthy
adjustment. The first method breaks
the personality. The second breaks
the situation. Only the third
method is worthy of consideration.
From this explanation you will
see that you are leaning toward the
second solution by setting yourself
against society. The same physical
courage and energy it would take
to Outwit the law can be used to
give You a respected position among
your fellows. Most of our criminals
are not dumb Dummies who lacked
the capacity for success. They are
failures because they chose to sue
coed on the useless side of life For
some reason they found it easier to
work against their fellows than
with them.
An education is an excellent
thing, but the lack of it is no bar
rier to success. You have only to
look about YOU to see how many
people have used their powers to
the fullest extent without benefit of
a formal education. An active and
curious mind will educate itself
without the aid OF institutions of
learning.
1t is not only your poverty that
makes you feel inferior. as you
know, but your size. Most little
men are embarrassed because they
are small. That is why so many of
them are such good fighters and
push on TO achievements that the
big men is too complacent to try
for. This is what I mean by COM
penSation.
Nobody strives very hard for any,
thing unless he is driven by an in
ner sense of inferiority which he
is struggling to disprove. That is
why the inferiority feeling is not
bad in itself. 1t is the individual
reaction TO it that counts. With
some it acts as a spur. Others just
lie down and give up. Still others
manage to feel superior because
they are clever enough to outwit
the law.
Your easy conquest of girls is
compensation mechanism. Since

the yard? Or. if you happen to be
in the country, do the chickens
need a new runway?
No dog-and no chickens, either?
Well, perhaps you need board
walk from the garage to the house.
There is one? Well then, how
about that open space that people
use for a short cut, right where
the gladiolas are planted? You've
been wanting a wire fence there
for years. Some stakes and stretch
of chicken wire will do. Johnny
could manage that.
Or the two maple saplings you
planted need tree boxes to save
them from being scraped perhaps.
Or the climbing rose needs a trel-
lis to support it; or the porch vine
a ladder-raCk.
If you don't need anything, there
is always the shanty. If boy
has never built or helped to build
a shanty at least once in his life
he has missed a lot. AS girl I
helped to build two and those sum-
mers stand out above all the rest.
Boards, saw, hammer and nails
they are life-savers for the sum-
mer. Let the children forage for
boards-no, not steal them, but use
their ingenuity to buy old planks
somewhere for a few cents, or as a
gift. That's part Of it-getting
the stuff to use.
There are so many things to be
made, even in a small yard Sand
boxes for the younger children, see
saws and swings.
