 With September only half gone, and with employment in local fac tories still showing a steady in- crease. it seems probable, at this time that a local business analysis at the end of the month will show even greater gains in most lines than did August, according to com petent observers. They advance several points in favor of this be- lief, among them the fact that au- tumn is normally a busy produc- tion season, that stocks which have been depleted for years need addi- tions at the present time, as well as the recent strength of the stock

Wild Ducks On the Wane.
Wild ducks have been fast "petering
out" during the past five years. Not
much wonder, either! Reclamation
projects have turned 100000 acres
into dry land-just Saharas to any
self-respecting duck trying to raise a
family. And, too, the bureau says
hunters have been killing too many
ducks.

padded his own canoe and he gave

Many hunters claim they saw more
ducks the last hunting season than

Biological Survey, Is about as en-
couraging as the flush on a patients
face who is dying of tuberculosis. So
long as there are any ducks left they
will be seen in their favorite resting
places, just indicating, the bureau
claims, that they must congregate on

Self-Respect.

that is forbidden it will find them
abroad. You can make boys welcome
and see that they have a good time at
your house and so know what sort Of
lads your daughters are associating
with and what they are doing. Or
you can shut your door against them
and have your girls lie to you about
where they are going and pick up boys
on the streets and make blind dates.
Give your daughters as good an
education as they will take, but see
to it that they are taught some way
to support themselves. Perhaps they
will marry. Perhaps they will not
marry. Perhaps they will have to
earn their own livings. Perhaps
they must stand between sick hus-
band and children and starvation.
Whatever fate befalls them it win
always give them poise and dignity
and be a comfort to them to know
that they can stand on their own
feet and be independent.
Teach them how to sew and how to
cook. Especially how to cook. What
ever else woman needs to know in
life she always needs to know these
two things. For on them depends not
only her own convenience, but the
well-being of her family.
And teach your girls manners and
the amenities of life. They are q
woman's passport to every grade of
society. All doors open to her be-
fore their magic. If you will teach
your daughters these things, the re-
mainder will take care of itself.

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
The Executive Mind.

WE ARE coming rapidly into an age
of executives. The complications
incident to world of specialization
demand leaders who are able to see all
the Specifications working toward the
attainment of goal.
We may judge the executive ability
Of person by observing how he goes
about his business, If he starts med
ding with details, he Is sure to lose
out. Swamped with details, he loses
sight of the goal.
The best test of the executive Is
his ability to recognize the abilities Of
those whom he is to lead. In other
words, the executive mind is the mind
that is able to judge personalities. This
can come only from experience That's
why We generally choose our executives
from among the older men at the
business.
There does seem to be an age at
which executive abilities fail in spite
of accumulated experience. Senility
is incipient. 1t creeps up gradually.
1t usually starts about the age of so.
although some executives are good for
about 10 years longer. The executive
mind is a valuable commodity. Most
studies show, however, that it doesn't
last long.
When the executive mind begins to
fail, you hear the underlings ask:
who talked with him laSt?" They
mean the executive mind has lost its
power to assimilate suggestions from
a variety of sources. When one idea
has to be pushed out before another
can be entertained, the executive mind
is gone.

~ EAR MISS DIX: am rearing
\ a family Of four girls whose
ages run from to 18. and
- often wonder if I am not
neglecting some important part of
their training. Would you mind tell
ing me what you think parents of
growing daughters should teach them?
HELEN B.
Answer-I think it is more impor-
tant now than it ever has been before
that mothers should ground their
daughters in the principles of right
living, because the modern mother
cannot protect and look after her
daughter as the old-fashioned mother
used to do. Mother cannot follow her
daughter into the business Office in
which she works and stand between
her and the men that prey on such as
she. Mother cannot go with daugh-
ter to parties or to night clubs or on
long rides in the night.
BY the time a girl is 18 she is vir-
tually on her own nowadays, and
whether she stands or falls, whether
she wrecks her life or saves it, de-
pends upon the principles that her
mother has bred into her. All of the
chaperoning that a mother can do
has to be done while her little daugh-
ter is in the cradle. All of the pro-
lection a mother can give her daugh-
ter is to teach her how to protect
herself.
60 I think that the most important
thing that a mother can do is to
teach her daughter self-respect. Teach
her to keep clean, physically and spir-
itually, and to value her body highly.
The girl whose mother has taught her
to value her honor never stumbles and
falls. She walks safe among the perils
of modern life.
Every mother should teach her
daughter as soon as she is able to
understand anything at all to know
herself and to guard against her own
weaknesses. All temptation comes
from within. No girl ever listens to
the voice of the charmer until she
longs to hear it. No girl strays from
the straight and narrow road until her
feet ache for the downward path
Teach a girl to guard herself against
herself and you have done all that
can be done to protect her.
Teach a girl the dangers that she
is bound to encounter in life. The
world is full of pitfalls for pretty
girl. Erect red lantern before each
| of them. Make her read the papers
and see what happens. Murder, sui
eide, disgrace, death. The gay life
won't seem so alluring if it is shown
ending in the morgue or the potters
| field.
IN TRYING to protect your daugh-
ters, don't overdo it. A too-strict
home is worse than a home that has
no restrictions at all Youth is going
to have its pleasures. 1t prefers tc
take them decently at home, but il
