The other day on the pay cuts it ap-

proclaimed the fact they squeezed their
drastic administration plan through by
only six votes.
Actually they were not in serious
danger. What happened could only
happen in the House. The big vote
came on a motion to adopt the pre-
vious question.
That shut OF all debate and all
chance of amending the strong gag
rule. That uas the place for the
reuolters to hare made their big
block the administration pdy-cut
program.
But that motion was adopted by
safe majority of 81 votes.
The vote showed the administration
program was going to 60 through. So
, on the next vote some Of the Demo-
! Gratis took the opportunity of protect
ing themselves politically back home

Played on Both Sides.
In that way they could register
opposition to the pay-cut theory and
make a little hay for themselves with
! the Government employees, and yet not
| block the President. 1t was just q po-
litical game.
They were more frightened than the
leaders when they noted there were SO
! many jumpers that the vote was too
| close for comfort.
It would De unfair to say all the
jumpers switched for this naive politi-

Some are newcomers. They might.
with justification, plead ignorance.
They might say they did not know that
the previous question motion was the
one they should have sought to block.
That would be true of half dozen or
more Of the jumpers.
At any rate it indicates the rebel

vately made by the leaders.

Son Surveys Route of
Father 81 Years Later

History often repeats itself in fami-
lies as related the past week by Bruce
SETTLER who made a survey of the coun-
ty boundary line between Carroll and
Holmes. Mr.. SETTLER utilized the field
notes and surveyed with the same COM
pass that was used by his father, J.
SETTLER 81 years ago.
When the work was started within
recent weeks, Mr.. SETTLER looked up the
survey made by his father and found
the original notebook containing all the
data. A map had been made of the sur
vey many years ago and placed in the
old court house. This was destroyed
when the building was burned many
years ago. However the line was start
ed as to records made and the markings
easily found. Doak's Stand, an old In
dian traced formed a foundation as re-
corded in the original survey and the line
was traced across the northern boun-
Diary from the Yazoo River on the west
to Big Black river on the east. Mr.
SETTLER stated that he found places
marked with an old Cuban hatchet used
by his father on post oaks, black jacks
and hickory trees. The story of 81 years
ago is vividly recalled as Mr.. SETTLER
traces the boundary line in it's original

ITO whip or. not to whip probably |, am asked more about this than any other problem per- taining to children
 It seems the consensus that all authorities on child training are dead set against the rod. 't
 Actually, they don't favor it any too much, but not for reasons gem erally supposed.
 The whole truth is toward more constructive ways of teaching a child to make the most of himself, to leave him his strong will and self assertion, but to turn them both toward good, and hold them along active normal lines of con- duct. 7; &
 However there still remains theory-and practice. What good does it do to stick our heads in the clouds and prattle of ideals when here is Willy. right at our heels pinching the baby, kicking the cat, and stamping his foot, or saying, T won't go to bed and you can't make me. sg l.sS& A
 Points to Consider

 I will try to show why I believe the rod to be futile in the long run in the case Of "a strong wille6 child; and in the case of the weak willed. more harmful than benefi- cial. And why corporal punishment fails as a general cure all.
