In May, the latter part Of the

The fish is sociable and groups gather
in great numbers TO make their nests

Here the busy husbands build their
nurseries on gravel bar, preferably
where the current is fairly swift. Once
the nest is completed and the mother
has placed her eggs within the circle.

Fathers S Hand.

WHY don't you make that chill

WHY don't you make that child

I'D like to have him mind quickly,
but, after all, he's only and you
can't expect so much of him"
That's not expecting too much Of

he is spoken to. This telling him over

concerned. I'll keep this switch handy
and he'll feel 1t the first time I know

1t is fine for father to take a hand
in rearing the children. It takes both
parents to rear family. and mother
needs all the help she can get from
father, anyway. But the manner Of
using his hand is the all-important
point of the matter. If he comes in
as a forceful, masterful man armed
with stick, doomed by loud voice.
stimulated by pride and anger, his
hand might much better be kept out.
1t is not going to help either the child
or his mother
1t gives some people a great thrill
to see little child jump at a word
of command. If they were little less
self-satisfied. if they had little more
curiosity about the effect of people
and their ways upon children, they
would not enjoy themselves so much
or SO often at the expense of helpless
children and their mothers
What end is gained by this unrea-
sonable and unreasoning obedience?
Who benefits by it? Certainly not the
child. To do any good, an exercise of
any sort, any activity that a child
engages in, must be performed under
the direction and control of his own
mind. When it is done under the do
minion Of another's mind, it has no
lasting educational value. That is why
all education given, or rather offered
under force fails to enrich the in
telllgence or personal power of the
child
Fear acts as a spur. 1t takes
heavy toll of nervous energy. It
teaches cowardice, helplessness, de-
pendence. 1t can be sparingly, very

The only reason that / have ever
found for its use was the satisfaction
1t gave the powerful, wise adult. It

usually an indication that he is a
rather helpless sort of person to him.

Everyday Psychology

Forgetting.

NOME persons speak alphabetically
about their inability to remember.
A few Of them actually take steps to
prevent forgetting. But forgetting is
one of the most practical of all the
mental processes. Suppose you had
the ability to forget nothing What
of it? You would lead a miserable
existence. You would be forced to
attach an equal significance to every
single thing that came to your atten-
ton, All this in spite of the fact that
knowledge is highly relative.
Many things are not worth remem-
bering. The thing to do is to forget
them as soon as possible. If you re-
membered everything it would be i'm
possible for you to have common sense
or to behave intelligently.
The word forgetting" suggests its
oppoSlte-memory. A good memory,
one that really amounts to something.
is a selective agent. Its business is
that of making distinctions between
useful and useless information. If you
would like to improve your memory,
try to find out what sort of informa-
ton is worth remembering This calls
Tor reasoning plus a sense of values.
once you get this habit you will have
no trouble with forgetting. You will
fan to pay attention to useless infor-
nation.

TN THESE days of infiexible budgets
the average housewife is busy
woman who must have the right
i regimentals If she is to take a
pleasurable amount of pride in
her work Usually she finds it ex-
pedient to start the day off in an at

the lines of her figure without re-
stricting it.
The design shown today has certain
practical details that make strong
appeal to experienced housewives. 1t
is made in a colorful percale with
matching apron. The lines are par
ticularly trim and neat, with darts
fitting the bodice in front and shaped
under-arm and back seams following
the figure after the fashion of the
silhouette seen in better dresses. The
circular -ruffe collar gives flattering
note to the neck and extends far
enough over the top-arm to relieve
the baroness otherwise caused by the
absence of sleeves. The front button
closing is found an aid to speedy
dressing and great help when the
dress is being ironed. The freshness
of the dress is retained over period
of days by the well-fitting little apron
made of the same material.
Seersucker, gingham, percale and
cotton prints are the available ma
terials used in frocks of this type.
The colors range from demure pastels
to strong, serviceable blues, browns,
reds and greens.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W BURGESS.

w
Late one afternoon he climbed up
on the Big Rock in the Smiling Pool.
He had nothing in particular to do
and that was a good chance to sit and
watch what was going on in the
neighborhood. He heard a harsh
sound like watchman's rattle and
moment later another fisherman
appeared and ahghted on a dead
branch of the Big Hickory on the
other side of the Smiling Pool. It
was Rattles the Kingfsher.
Billy eyed him in manner that
was none too friendly. Rattles re-
h turned the look They were not
friends No, sir, they we're not friends.
Both were fishermen and both were
selfish. Each felt that the fish in
the Smiling Pool belonged to him and
resented having any one else fish
there. OF course, the fish didn't be-
long to anybody.
For a few minutes Rattles sat still
Then he few out over the water, how
cred moment. then shot down head
first splash into the water He was
up in the air again almost as soon
as ne touched the water, and in his
bill was small fish. He flew of
with it down the Laughing Brook.
The sound of his rattle came back to
Billy and 1t seemed to him as if there
was both triumph and mockery in
that sound. Billy resented it. He
resented the catching of that fish.
1t was small fish. 1t would have
been hardly more than a bite for
Billy. Still he resented having 1t
taken from the Smiling Pool right
before him. You see, Billy was sell
fish.
Il don't like that fellow" muttered
Billy. He scares the fish. No. sir, l
don't like him. And the worst of it
is there is nothing I can do about it,
Once more from the distance
sounded that harsh rattle. This time
it reminded him of something. He
stopped grumbling. That fellow
must have a nest thought Billy. Il
wonder didn't think of it before.
OF course he must have a nest. And
a nest means eggs or young birds.
and I like both. I need a change of
diet. Yes, sir. that is what I need,
a change of diet. If can find that
nest I'll get even with him for taking
my fish. That's what I'll do. I'll
get even with him and have a feast
at the same time"
Now. Billy Mink knows all about
the ways of his neighbors He knew
that Rattles the Kingfisher is one of
the few birds who nest in hole in
the ground, that he and Mrs. King
fisher dig that hole themselves, usu-
ally in the face of a bank. He began
to run over in his mind the banks he
knew of, such banks as the King
fishers would be likely to use. He
was still doing this when with
sharp rattle Mrs. Kingf1sher arrived
in the Big Hickory tree. She, too, sat
quietly watching the smooth surface
of the Smiling Pool. Sitting so high
above it she could see down into the
water. Presently she flew out. hov-
cred and plunged. She rose with
small fish and flew off in the same
direction Rattles had taken.
Their nest is down the Laughing
Brook somewhere thought Billy.
My. some eggs or some young birds
would taste good!" His mouth wa
tered at the thought.
Then he slipped off the Big Rock
and swan swiftly across the Smiling
Pool to the place where the Laugh
ing Brook left it on its way to the
Big River.
