does not seem quite fair, does it, to take
away the joyous freedom of children to play
what games they like and to make normal
amount of noise? And yet, realizing where
and when they may be noisy, and where and
when they may not. is one of the most i'm
portant early lessons in etiquette that every
well-bred child must learn.
How to be fair to the tens of thousands of
children who live in city apartments and, at
the same time. teach them that the first rule
of decent behavior is to show consideration
for the rights and feelings of Others is
question that requires rather painstaking
adjustment.
With neighbors overhead neighbors across
a court, and most unhappy of all, neighbors
on the floor below, normal child, who has
neither outdoors nor rumpus room in which to
exercise his lungs and legs. has no choice
whatever but to adapt himself to toys and
games and occupations that are reasonably
noiseless.
For the children who live in an apartment.
the first rule of consideration for the Floor
bellows is written for the parents who do the
furnishing. To begin with, the room of the
children or the one in which they play -
should either be completely carpeted and well
wadded under the carpet, or else no heavy
solid shoes nor noise-making toys may be
allowed indoors ever. Even over carpets
certain favorite games are banned.
As for letting the children pull aside the
rugs and play tenpins, or roller skate over
the Floorbelow's heads - this is something
that it would not seem necessary to write
about, had l not received score of COM
Dlaints of this very thing

they CALI to leave whatever she may be doing
to go to them They should be taught that it
is their place to go to her.
But one error in the training of Junior is
that too often he stands where he happens to
be, and yels, "Mothurrr and mother goes.
And says nothing about the rasping "urr"
either.)
| don't know why chose this particular
example excepting that it is typical and that
it is one of thousand other small things
which together, produce young person who
has no consideration Tor Others. all because his
mother has let him consider himself first in:
stead OF her. No matter how much SHE wants
to let him play the star part - for his own
sake, she mustn't.
The rudeness of child who answers back,
who Contradicts, is solely the result of a
mother, or father, or nurse who has let a child
get into the habit of being rude when he is too
little to know what rudeness means.
There is a great difference, however, be-
tween being trained to be considerate of
others to the extent of not behaving like
barbarian, and being suppressed and mute
little ghost not daring to speak above a
whisper or to move except at sedate walk.
AS a matter of fact, if Johnny is allowed
to be noisy young savage at home alone,
he is going to be just as noisy when there is
company or when he is out in public or in
the houses of others. A child who is beauti-
fully behaved when out in company is just
as beautifully behaved when he is at home.
Of course the real point to make is that
ignorance of courtesy and gentility and
ordinary decency is unfair to a child, since
few people go further than their first impress
sion ola "detestable brat. Ard yet the poten-
tial qualities of that child might be utterly
enchanting, were it not for the "detestable"
impression made by its boorish behavior,
which may be utterly superficial.
In fact, the more clever, the more talented,
the more capable particular child, the more
irritating his misguided behavior can become,
because of the very force of the qualities that
should have been developed into charming
attributes of personality

No matter where children live, there are
certain precepts of proper behavior that
should be exacted of well-bred children as
well as of all well-bred grown people. They

Industrial Plants

The keynote of the addresses of
the speakers az the Conference on
the Economic Life Of the Detroit
Negro. at the Lucy Thurman
Branch Y. W. c. A. last Friday.
was that jobs for Negroes in this
community are scarce. due to the
discrimination Of factories in hir-
ing workers. II was also pointed
out that because OF these condi-
tons. an unduly large percentage
OF colored citizens are being fore
ed TO apply to the local Welfare
Department for aid.

course Of his address that % per
cent OF Detroit's welfare depen-
dents are Negroes and that he had
definite proof that Negroes and
foreigners are not being reemploy-
ed by local industrial plants, In the
same proportion in which they
we're laid off.
Mr.. Pallenger further stressed

the fact that during the World

there was a scarcity OF man power
in Detroit. the factories imported
large numbers OF Negroes from the
South. These people. he said. have
established legal residence here,
and now that they are out OF work
II is the city's duty TO care for

II was also charged by Mr.. Bal

sent proof OF experience as skilled

FACT IS METALS

IL Is a historical fact that no
IA ion can achieve or maintain
a position as a first class world
power without adequate MINER
al resources, and a progressive
mining industry. Everything
We use in peace or war, from
plumbing to battleships. from
rifles TO pens, involves one or
more metals. 4 country which
is metallically self contained
and does not need to import
metals, has a tremendous adj
vantage over a country which
must look beyond its boundaries
for mine products.
This is one more good reason
why everything possible should
be done to bring recovery TO
