THE EFFECT ON CHILDREN or
PARENTAL EXAMPLE

In our land are scattered thousands
OF homes with children in them.
Some of these houses shelter happy
children, whose parents are earnest
ly striving to live up to their respon-
sibilities. Many OF these parents had
few opportunities for education and
culture themselves, but they are am
bilious for their children to have all
the desirable things in life which
they have missed.
A great number OF such parents
are looking to the school as a means
OF fitting their children for life.
But they do not realize that the
school, no matter how thorough the
teachings or how efficient the teach
ers, a never compensate for the
lack OF home training.
Parents can find much help in
solving their problems through read
ing magazines and literature which
Is put out by Parent-Teachers Asso-
Citations and other child-welfare pub
LEGATIONS.
All intelligent parents know that
a child is an immature being pos
sessing a body. mind and soul. His
character is yet uniformed; and the
nature of his future development de-
ponds largely upon heredity and en-
vironment, for neither OF which he
is responsible. His natural endow-
ments he received from his ancest-
ors, his environment will largely be
created for him by his parents. A
big job 1t is to assume the respon.
sibllity of parenthood. And just here
permit me to say that it is a crime
for people with hereditary disease.
either physical or mental, to bring
children into the world. The inno-
cent child is thus doomed to rest
under a curse that begins before
birth and that follows him all his
days.
The child that is born OF healthy,
normal parents, has as a rule a bet
ter chance to be unencumbered with
a weak and sickly body and imper-
feet mind than one whose parents
are physically handicapped through
disease.
Parents through the example
which they set in the home are dir
ectly responsible for the habits
which their children form in infancy
and early life; habits which make
for health or disease, and to a large
extent determine their future for
veal or woe.
1t isn't enough that Johnny or
Mary r told to keep their persons
neat and clean; they must see faith
er and mother remove their toll
stained garments and the CRIME from
their persons before they sit down
to meals, or prepare to spend a
social evening with the family. II
Johnny sees that his father never
sits down to table in a shirt that is
reeking with odor and Precipitation,
or never handles his own or the
children's food with soiled hands, he
learns not only respect for cleanli-
ness and neatness, but he uncon-
sciously becomes neat and clearly
himself.

What the Co-ops Have Done

In considering the farmers difficulties, one won
ders how much worse they might have been, so far as
prices and marketing conditions are concerned, had
the institution OF the cooperative never been con-
ceived.
The co-operatives have faced, with courage and
aggressiveness, many problems, many issues. Through
them farmers have struggled to keep together in a
time of discomfort and uncertainty, and to keep their
energies bent toward the desired end. They have
fought for permanent markets and better prices at a
time when markets and prices for all kinds Of pro-
ducts, farm or factory, were c%rnnbling. They have
sought to build a sound organization for the future
while meeting the exigencies Of the present.
The cooperatives have not done all they hoped
to do. But whatever justified hope the farmer has for
a more prosperous tomorrow may be laid largely to
them They really have laid the groundwork They
are developing the power that Is essential II the pro-
Queer is to meet the buyer ON a fair and equal basis.
And it is an inescapable fact that, for the most part,
the market has been best for those farm products
which are handled through long established, loyalty
point where the producer could show a profit-but
they have been a good deal higher than they would
otherwise have been.
Yes, the cooperative movement is making head
way, in the face Of odds. 1t is succeeding. And II
the farmers of the country stick with ii, work for and
with ii, it will eventually achieve the degree OF success
1t deserves.

A Sap-Headed Argument

Every once in a while some pacifist tells us about
how this country goes out into the world with a peace
pact in one hand and fifteen new cruisers in the
other"
We suppose they would have us trot out naked,
and expect our pacific tendencies to keep any bad
boy among the nations from slapping us In the face.
They would, we suppose prefer that Federal agents,
hunting ~gangsters. move toward them without guns
but with nice smiles on their faces.
What the gangsters would do to the detectives is
just about what would happen to this country II it
tried any such foolishness.

Valueless Dollars

1t probably never occurs to most of us that there
is such a thing as valueless money. And 1t isn't
counterfeit either. Millions OF honest and legitimate
less and useless.
This is the money that drops out of circulation
1t Is boarded money. Its owners keep 1t in safe de-
post boxes or in teapots or buried in the back yard.
Money has no intrinsic value-its value Is deter
mined by what it can do when 1t is working. When
out OF work, it is as useless as would be a number OF
similar sized pieces of tin. 1t isn't paying taxes or
meeting dividends or employing labor or buying sup
plies. 1t isn't doing its part in keeping the wheels of
enterprise turning.
There are two distinct ways Of putting money
back into circulation. One is depositng it in COM
mercial or savings accounts in banks, or purchasing
government or other high-grade securities. The other
is by buying needed articles or effecting necessary re-
pairs. And this way is the best of all. The money
spent serves a double purpose. 1t provides employ
ment and alleviates distress-and it obtains for the
spender the supplies and repairs at the lowest prices
since pre-war days.
Put at least part of the dollar into furnace reno
walton, into a new roof or other house repairs or
paint, into some labor saving appliance, into plumbing
or yard work. You'll get about twice the value you'd
have got three years ago-and you will have helped
the cause OF recovery.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 18.
City councilmen of Alexandria will
be asked to appropriate $4,000
toward a city charity organization
that is being formed here by
leaders of several different charit-
able organizations.
Tentative plans stipulate that
the money appropriated by council
would be supplemented by funds
collected by the individual organi-
cations and disbursed from one
central unit. BY this method, it
was pointed out, all of the organi-
cations could take part in case
Investigations, while the distribu-
ton from one central point would
avoid Implications.
A board of directors composed
of representatives from the various
charity organizations, under the
supervision of the city manager,
would direct the business for the
proposed organization. A full-time
employee, selected by the council,
would act as director.

By A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Nlb1LCIlS fASSOCAdbAOuS GAASOA
The big problem before the Pet
worth Citizens Association last
night was how to obtain addl-
tional funds to meet an increase
in the 1887 District budget.
James G.. Yaden, former presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, said he was diSap-
pointed that the federation had
not suggested plan to increase
local taxes, something he declared
was bound to come.
Following his appointment by
President Earl w. Cooper as chair
man of a committee to report on
the tax question at the next meet
ing of the association, Mr.. Yaden
said he would favor an increase
in taxes on motion picture houses,
public utilities, bank assets and,
If necessary, an increase Of l
cent in the gasoline tax. Any IN
crease in the real estate tax he
would not sanction.
The association Endorsed Com
missioner Aliens bill for a refer
endum on local matters, providing
the voting privilege is not denied
those residents who exercise the
right of suffrage in the States.
. The Citizens Forum of Column
bia Heights, at last nights meet
ing in the Powell School, voted to
cooperate with the Columbia
Heights Business Mems Associa-
ton, in a movement inaugurated
to urge all business places on
upper Fourteenth Street to close
on Sundays. The resolution re-
Quested the residents of Columbia
Heights to consider withholding
their patronage from those that
refuse to cooperate.

olution by Burd w. Payne, which
