"Rur he is nine years old, Mary"
''Oh, what is nine years? Scarcely
more than an infant. You can't ex-
pect him to be an old man. He's my
baby, the youngest Of the lot. and may
be do favor him little, but what of
it? 1t can't hurt him to be petted
little"
"No? Here he Is, nine years old,
all his companions playing hard and
dealing with their lives first hand, as
they happen to find themselves. They
don't 60 whining to their mothers,
complaining that nobody loves them,
teachers make them do things they
don't want to do, threatening to run
away and altogether doing baby act
for your special benefit and his own
comfort whenever it suits him. He's
too old to be baby and get away with
1t any more. It's bad for him not to
be growing up. Do you want an in
FAINT on your hands all the years Of
his life?"
"Of course not. He'll grow up when
the time comes, all right"
"Oh, he will will he? When do you
think the times comes? Do you i'm
agine that some day. when you are
good and tired of his childishness,
when it Is inconvenient to have a hulk
ing infant on your hands, that you
can just say, Grow up and he will
grow up? If you do you are in for 3
sad surprise. Either he grows up day
by day, experience after experience, or
he does not grow up at all. It's your
problem"
"The child hates to leave me. He
gets SO lonely in school. And the boys
are rough and he isn't used to rough
ness"
"It Is time he was. He ought to
be able to stand up to any boy of his
class. Instead he cries. never saw
q boy cry so much in all my life. If
you don't stop him soon he'll be q
sopping sea and drown you both"
This is an extreme case of overcare,
but many q child fails to grow with
speed and power at the time set for
his growth, and so is delayed and
hindered for years TO come. Children
cry easily, as easily as you turn on q
faucet. Their tears do not always
mean deep-seated grief. Sometimes
they mean temper, sometimes pain;
other times they are weapons to defeat
the enemy who Is trying to force them
against their wishes. Better listen to
the tears and complaints with the
ear of your mind and try to make
certain what sort Of tears the child
is shedding, and the real cause Of
them.
Life Is never easy. 1t Is never too
hard for one to bear, either. This
Is true for children as well as grown
up people. Ordinary happenings which
90 into the makeup Of daily living
can always be borne with patience II
not with power. Even the worst ex-
periences Of illness pass In time. The
sooner children learn this the better.
They get no good out Of kicking and
crying and pleading for the softer
side OF Life. They need to resist some
thing, resist strongly, In order to
acquire strength. Life affords them
enough for this sort Of growth, and
it Is not necessary for Us to supply
any obstacles to bring out healthy
resistance. What we need to do Is to
teach o child how to meet troublesome
and annoying happenings, how to
resist and overcome difiiculties. That
is the way to sturdy growth and self
reliance as wen as to sound mental
health.

PARALLELS BOB'S
!: ABILITY AS YOUTH
Veteran Expert Is Sure She
Will Become Leader of
Feminine Realm.
BY w. r. NIcCALLUM.

BY w. r.. McCALLUM.
~ B. keller of Atlanta, more
familiarly known to his
cronies as ,"Old Bill" Is
more than a golf writer.
He Is connoisseur Of golf personali-
ties and links capabilities.
AS the personal Boswell of Bobby
Jones, "Old Bill" grabbed himself
quite reputation and not a little
cash in the days when Bob was clean
ing up everything in sight and started
writing about golf and golf tourna-
ments. With Stewart Maiden on the
instruction side and Keeler keeping a
weather eye on the writing angle and
helping Bob with ideas on how to play
golf shots Che knew Bob'S game as we'll
as Jones himself, the trio managed
to do fairly well.
Now "Old Bill" is not a guy to get
far out on a limb about golfers. He
has watched scores of kid wonders
come up, fair briefly and vanish. He
isn't one to get excited about some new
links fash. So when Bill steps out in
tulsome praise of any golfer it means
something. The party in this case is
a woman-a chunky. freckle- faced
little gal from Minneapolis, christened
Patricia, and now known as Patty"
the child who is going to make nui-
sance Of herself, from the British an
gle, next week when the American
Curtis Cup team meets the British at
Gleneagles.
Serious and Enthusiastic.
A ND if you think Bill doesn't go the
whole way on Patty, listen to this:
"She is more like Bobby Jones was
at her age than any golfer ever have
seen. She has more shots and more
downright ability than any golfer ]
ever looked at, barring Bobby, and she
Is so serious about this game that it's
almost laughable.
Il haven't the slightest doubt that
Patty will win a bunch of national
championships and that she will be-
come the Bob Jones of feminine golf,
If she isn't that already. Just to show
you how she goes at it, I have seer
her play hard match and then go
out and hit 200 balls with her irons
to straighten out kink she thought
existed. She is not only a physical
marvel, but she has the pertinacity
and will to win that it takes.
II think Patty is a natural to win
not one, but lot of championships.
And remember, she is just kid-a
fresh-faced, smiling kid, with the most
natural, naive way you ever saw. She
Is not only going to win champion
ships, but she is going to become the
best-hked kid that ever hit a golf
ball"
Mechanical Game Smooth.
THAT seems fairly strong, but listen
- to this, also from "Old Bill": ION
the mechanical side Of the game she
Is the smoothest hitter you ever saw.
She hits that ball better than any
woman in America, not as far as Did
riksen, bet she hits more of 'em and
she hits 'em straighter. That Berg
kid is going to be the biggest senSa-
tion in golf-mark my words"
Patty is in Scotland now. but she
will be back late in May. Maybe some
enterprising Washington golfer could
coax her to play over some of the
local courses.
