anything that they get between their lips. Such
habits begin quite early in infancy and. II not broken

In most instances the sucking Of fingers is not
an exceedingly serious performance, but in some
cases it may influence the shape of the mouth or
fingers 1t also is bad because it will aggrayate dis
turbances Of digestion and help to introduce infection
into the mouth.
Parents and nurses are inclined to overlook the
habit because it keeps the child quiet. But you
should develop other of quoting your child
means which are safer and less likely to lead into
wrong mental attitudes
VERY seldom is the constant sucking Of a finger
due to hunger. But if your child is hungry 1t
may suck its fingers whereas otherwise it might not
There are many different ways Of controlling
finger sucking from the simple means Of putting
small pasteboard spllnts on the elbows, 10 prevent
the child from bending his arms and fastening the
hands to the sides during sleep to such methods as
the wearing Of ralttenS the winding Of adhesive
plaster around the fingers, the application OF bitter

part to the correction Of the difficulty. Reeratlon

MAIL biting and dirt eating are pad habits which
usually develop in children who are excessively
nervous or whose general health is less than normal
Children with such tendencies must also be con-
troled by watching and by every effort to break up
the habit early as possible

bed at the age Of two and a half years. some much
earlier and few not until after three years Of
After three regular wettng Of the bed Is an ao-
normal performance and should be controlled To
prevent this habit give the child plenty OF milk and
water early in the day but no fluids after in the
afternoon. At 10 pick UP the child and give il op-
portunity TO empty the bladder.
Here, again. mental attention is exceedingly I'M
portant Everything possible must be done TO make
the child interested and cooperative. In this re-
wards are more effective than punishment
The interest Of the child can be gained by mark

for being successful. 1t is of course important that
every physical defect that is noted be properly con-

This SOuUenir Craze

A FEW hours later, General John j. Pcrshng's
a staff officer arrived at the position to demand
the first shell for President Woodrow Wilson.
Sergeant Alexander L. Arch, who had pulled the
latch to fire the shot, sauted gravely and put
another first shell in the hands Of General Pershngs
officer.
And about ten days later when the battery came
down the road to rest there on the gun carriage,
stuffed full Of poSy Of weeds, the original first
shell. Sergeant Alexander Arch just wnked away
all questions to the authenticity of Secretary
Bakers shell and President Wilson's shell.
The late Lew Cody actor had door in his
home in Hollywood, which celebrities signed their
names. He was souvenir hunter himself but other
souvenir hunters stole the door when he died and
it could not be auctioned off with his other prop
critics.
Babe Ruth has autographed 10000 baseballs but
it is hard to tell the difference between his auto

sat up with him all night, helping him to sign
bushels for distribution to the souvenir hunters.

Only five years have passed
since then. but Roosevelt's trip
today shows how drastically the
picture has changed.
Now the finest power sites are
in the hands of the government,
are being developed with govern
ment money for distribution, IN
many cases. through government
agencies. They will function in a
manner similar to the Tennessee
valley.
The Bonneville dam on the
Columbia river near Portland,
will create a reservoir extending
upstream for forty-four miles. 1t
will produce not only power but
improve navigation.
At Grand Coulee, also on the
Columbia river but in the state
of Washington, Roosevelt will
witness the beginning of a project
which will have the largest
power capacity in the world. 1t
ranks next TO Boulder dam in the
size of the dam, but is greater in
the output of power.
It took years of debate to secure
congressional approval to build
Boulder dam. Passage Of the bill
was considered a historic achieve
ment. It took even longer to
secure congressional approval for
the development of Muscle Shoals.
But these New Deal projects,
some of them just as big, we're
approved through the public
works administration. with no
ballyhoo. in some cases without
the bat of an eye.
The big power companies woke
up one morning to find their
dream vanished.

The study is being made by the

on experiences of the fleet in its

Three major deficiencies have
been recorded as a result Of the

3. Overdevelopment of intership

On the first two Deficiencies

The third complaint already has
been attacked. Regulations dras-

steeplechasers are being tuned up for
the horse races.
The Horse Show Committee is very

The Christian at prayer. MaltH-
ew 6:5-15, for Sunday, Oct. 21:
Prayer is simple exercise in
which the humblest soul can en-
gage. and yet it is a high art call
ing for the best teaching and ex-
ample, study and effort.
V. S. "And when ye pray, ye
shall not be as the hypocrites; for
they love to stand and pray in the
synagogues and in the corners OF
the street, that they may be seen
of men. Verify I say unto you they
have their reward" One danger in
praying is that of turning it into an
actors performance An eloquent
prayer may be only an eloquent per-
formance. That is an idle prayer
that seeks the praise of men.
". 6. But thou when thou pray
est enter into thine inner chamber
and having shut thy door. pray to
thy Father who is in secret and thy
Father who seeth in secret shall
recompense thee" The cure for
hypocritical prayer is sincere secret
prayer. Public prayer comes natur-
ally to the one who has really learn
ed to pray in secret. Public prayer
has it's rightful place in a service OF
public worship. If one depended or
the public service of worship fol
all his praying, he would soon be
spiritually famished.
V. Z. "But in praying use not
vain repetitions as the Gentiles do;
for they think they shall be heard
for their much speaking" The the
ory Of such repetition seems to be
that God is dull of hearing or thai
he measures the value of prayer by
the number of times prayers are
said. All forms Of prayer that are
used thoughtlessly and mechanical

withhold his forgiveness from us.

withhold his forgiveness from us.
V. 13. "And bring us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the
evil one.' The great fear of pray
er is not suffering or poverty, but
evil, and a clean soul shrinks from
every Shiny touch. While it is a
good thing to be proven by various
tests, it is a rightful cry to be saw
ed from such circumstances where
the forces of evil are too great to
be overcome.
VS.. IA, Is. "For if We forgive
men their trespasses, your Heavenly
Father will also forgive you. But
if ye forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your Heavenly
Father forgive you your trespass-
es." So important is the question
of forgiveness that the thought is
repeated. All have sinned and all
are in the need of pardon. 1t is
Gods pardon that makes the differ
ence between his children and those
who fail Him. Christ did his part on
the cross to offer his pardon to all
who wish this grace badly enough
to show the spirit of forgiveness.

ly have little value. Jesus pointed
out the basic reason for repeated
prayers, in the phrase, For your
Father knoweth what things ye
have need of before you ask him.
V. 8. "After this manner, there
fore pray ye, Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name' In
the word, our, we see the brother
hood of man. In the word. Father,
we have the conception of One who
is in his heaven, that heaven
may be around us here, so we need
to feel his presence. During these
days of increasing profanity and
slang, much emphasis needs to be
placed on the phrase Hallowed be
thy name.
v. 10. "Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done, as in heaven, so on
earth.'' Gods kingdom comes when
Gods will is done socially and indi-
vidually. Gods will is done when
God is made supreme in life, when
one tries always to please Him. Our
wills agreeing with Gods will, like
agreement of the different elements
of nature producing physical life,
produces spiritual life. To know
the will of God requires prayer,
Bible study, Christian associations
and meditation.
V. IL. "Give us this day our
daily bread" This is the only pc
tition for physical needs. AS Christ
fed the five thousand, he still feeds
the hungry; the one requirement
is that man do his part in supplying
physical needs; the farmer does his
part in sowing the seed, cultivat-
ing and enriching the soil and in
reaping the grain; but the inn
portant part of producing growth
and the multiplication of seed is
Gods; he never fails to do his part.
V. u. "And forgive us our
! debts as we also have forgiven our
Debtors Here is a petition that
requires something important,
something that is really hard to do.
To offer this petition, when one will
not forgive another, calls on God to
