He sighed deeply and turched over

PUT IDEAS IN
MIND OF CHILD
Suggestion May Work Where
an Order Fails.

OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON, In the
New York World-Telegram.
One of the mothers greatest al
lies in reaching young child Is sug-
gestion.
So peculiar are the mind centers
and so quickly suspicious of criti-
cism or even direct telling, that they
will receive impressions quite hap
PLY by suggestion that they would
otherwise throw away at once.
Suppose her mother wants Mary
to learn to put her oyershoes in the
hall closet each time she comes in.
One day she picks them up and
personifies them. Quite casually she
may say, II am sure these friendly
little fellows must think we haven't
much heart leaving them about to
be worried and chewed by Peter"
Mary may regard her for awhile
and not say anything, or she may
pretend even not to notice at all.
But the next time there is a good
chance she will open the closet door
and put them away herself.
There is nothing wrong with
direct order. Unqualified obedience
has its necessary place in all child
parent relationships. But it often
fails for a clear reason.
Small children forget, or they are
deeply interested in something else,
or their attention is off wool-gather-
ing. Sometimes when they are told
to do too many things they become
apathetic and careless from too
much to remember, or just plain
resentment.
Children are great imitators. The
power of suggestion combined with
interest is at work here. The con-
duct of the family will reflect al
most instantly in a child's manners,
his speech, his tastes and his be-
havior.
Suggestion in it's active sense can
be used nicely and happily. The
time chosen is important. 1t usually
fails If the child has set up deter
mined wall of refusal already. No
use in turning diplomatic in the
middle of tantrum or a stubborn
spell. And 1t won't do much good
if he is deeply interested in some
thing else at the time. Suggestion
should be applied with judgment.

Americas Polo Ponies

American polo ponies are usually
about Is hands high and weigh in the
neighborhood of LOO pounds. In this
type of horse short back and big bar
rel are encouraged. since these give
wind and endurance for horse which

ponies usually have some thoroughbred

BRIDES ASK

nEAR Mrs. Post: want to send
- one wedding invitation to a moth
er and father and their two unmar-
ried daughters living with them.
Since ''and family" Is not allowed by
best form, please tell me just how
their names are written on one en-
velope?
Answer: Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones
and on the line below, the Misses
Jones.
My dear Mrs. Post: The sOloist and
organist who are to sing and play at
my wedding are friends of my young
uncle. They are not asking a fee but
are doing it for me because he asked
them to. | am going to invite them
both to my reception, which Is to be
large one. Outside of this, must. Nuy
them each a gift?
Answer: | don't think | would say
must" but to give each remem-
brance would be an appreciative thing
to do. and to give them nothing would
put you too much in their debt.
Dear Mrs. Post: My nephew was
married several months ago, and since
his return from his wedding trip has
received a bill for the hire of the five
cars used to take the bridal party and
others to the church and then to the
hotel for dinner and the reception. He
ignored the bill because we were all
under the impression that this item
was part of the brides family ex-
penses. Now we learn that her family
are making a lot of disagreeable COM
the bill. You, as arbiter, can help US.
Answer: There are as many local
customs as there are localities, but
this is one have never heard Of. The
only car that he should be expected to
pay for is the one that took the best
man and himself to the church, and
possibly the one in which he and his
wife drove to the station after the
wedding.
My dear Mrs. Post: Please list all
the expenses Of my wedding that
should be taken care of by my parents.
/ am having a simple church wedding,
with a reception at my parents club
afterwards.
Answer: All cost of invitations
and announcements, your trousseau,
wedding dress, decoration of church
and house, all music, wedding break
fast and collation., bridesmaids bou-
quets, and all transportation of imme-
date family and bridal party. In
many communities the bridegroom
gives the bride her bouquet. There
fore, follow local custom.

their racquets and grabbed clothes
hangers.
The most amazing change in
Stoefen is in his backhand. Last
summer it was next to nothing Ev-
cry time he hit off the left wing it
was merely a question of how it
would go outside, or in what section
of the net it would drop. Today he
hits off the port side with assur-
ance. Also with a speed that is al
most incredible.
1t is to be hoped, for Dick Will
liams' sake if for no other reason,
that Stoefen IS improvement is here
to stay. and that he will hold it
when play moves outdoors. If it is,
and if Sidney Wood can find time
to get in the shape he was in dur
ing the 1888 nationals, America s
cup chances would be good for an
even money bet The two of them
might very well pick up couple of
singles wins against Britain, which
would be all required. For Lott
and Van Ryn are still the best
doubles tandem in the business.
Now Mr.. Stoefen will probably go
and get polished off in the third
round today. If he does, please ad-
dress all complaints to the COM
plant editor, whose address has
slipped my mind completely.

HUSKIES DEFEAT TROJANS
FOR BASKETBALL HONORS

LOS ANGELES, March 13. U.P)
"A valiant University of Washing
ton basketball team that refused to
surrender, was the proud possessor
today of the Pacific Coast confer
ence title, won after a hard strug-
gle last night with the University
of Southern California quintet.
The huskies, winners of the north
ern division race, annexed the third
and deciding game of the champion
ship series by a score of "a to 80.
AS in their Saturday nights tri-
umph, the Huskies came from be-
hind to win, hanging up 25 points
to Southern California'S IA in the
second half.
Hero honors for the evening went
to Hall Lee, playing his last game
as captain and guard for the Wash
ington team. He led the scorers with
five field goals and three free
throws for total of 13 points and
adding to his glory, turned in the
best defensive game, perhaps, seen
on the Olympic court this season.
Lee Guttero, Trojan ace scorer,
was somewhat off form. His shoot
ing arm which accounted for 36
points in the two previous contests,
was short of its usual accuracy and
then, too, he was stumped frequent
ly by the armor of Washington de-
fenSe.
Southern Californias customary
rush in the opening half was tenn
porarily checked by a sudden Wash
ington attack that netted the hus-
kies six points before Southern CAL

bAER-CARNERA
BOUT. LOOMS

NEW YORK, March l3. U,P =
Madison Square garden officials
hope to announce tonight or tomor-
row that Champion Primo Carnera
and Make Baer have been matched
Tor a heavyweight title bout in June
or September.
Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick, pre-
Sldent of the garden; Louis Soresi,
Carnera'S manager, and Ancil Hoff-
man, Baer'S manager were to con-
tlnue their conferences today.
They conferred lengthily yester-
day after Hoffman's arrival from
San Francisco. Col Fitzpatrick said
considerable progress had been
made, but nothing definite had
been done.
He denied reports that an agree
ment had been reached Hoffman
said any date suited Baer, if the
garden gave Make a large enough
percentage of the gate to take care
of financial agreement Baer has
with Jack Dempsey.
Hoffman said he was willing to
sign with the garden for Baer to de-
fend the title, if he wins it, under
garden promotion, on condition the
garden guarantee to take care OF
Dempsey in that bout also.
Soresi is understood to prefer
September date to June because the
delay would give Camera a chance
to pick up some extra money by
fighting once or twice in South AM
erica. He is ready to sign if Carnera
receives 3712 per cent of the gate.

Canzoneri was slightly handicap
