"XA HAT do you think of the
w woman who spanks her

AA/ AAEAL w JOo VI Vic
w woman who spanks her
eighteen-year-old son in Jail?
"This is what the papers say:
Mrs. - went to the city Jail to-
day and administered a spanking
to her eighteen-year-old son, who
was arrested for stealing. Mrs.
= walked into the police station
and asked permission to give him
a good spanking. The police were
agreeable and she went to his cell,
took his belt and swung it at least
fifty times. The son said he ran
away from home two days ago
because of previous spanking"
1T seems to me its rather late
in the day for her to start spank
ing. What do you say to it-?"
This question was put to a we'll
known writer on subjects pertain
ing to women, who answers as
follows:
1 always hesitate to speak ar
bitrarily about the problems of
any parent, knowing, as we
usually do so little of the real
truth of what they may have to
contend with. And even in the
. case of the obviously misguided
mother of which our friend writes,
my first impulse is one of SYM
pathy-the thought of how much
she must have gone through with
this son to so make her lose all
balance. For that she certainly
has. Even if her son were a char
acter (and they are very rare,
mothers,) who seemed to require
physical force as a last resort to
his discipline, it's failure to the
age of eighteen proves quite OBJ
viously it's uselessness in his case.
I do not believe in spanking-at
any age. I believe that given nor
NAL mentality and ordinarily de-
cent character leanings, a child
can be best disciplined by appeal
ing to his finer qualities.

The Problems of Parents
a Should Woman Spank Her
" Eighteen Year-Old Son in Jail?

Children, like grown-ups, appre-
ciate respect and try to be worthy
of it. They are sensitive to repu-
tation and try to live up to it. Many
a black sheep was not born
black but made black by being
painted so. And many fine
character has been developed
and strengthened by confidence
and belief in him.
Certainly children need punish
ment. But the most efficacious
punishment is not that admins
tered in a spirit Of revenge or
parental spite for the annoyance
caused by the child; it is the pun
ishment administered in the spirit
of necessity, to "help you to re-
member that that particular
temptation is an enemy. A woman
l know made a practice of con-
sulting her four or five-year-old
son as to the punishment suitable
for certain misdemeanors-that is
one he would feel sufficiently to
help him to remember. And that
child has developed the ability for
self discipline which will make
parental chastisement unnecces-
airy long before he is eighteen.
The same mother seemed to
have extreme ideas of appealing
to the child's strength. The day
he first entered school she spoke
to him like this: 81 am doing my
best to help you to live up to the
fine qualities in you. If you do
anything to be ashamed of I shall
feel a shortcoming in myself. But
1 know you won't; I know 1 can
trust you. Always remember that
you are strong in body, strong in
mind and strong in character, and
it is up to you to live up to those
gifts of God by setting good ex-
ample" So far the boy has done
that. And l know of no better
advice to give any parent.

10-CENT COFFEE
THREATENS

Ten-cent coffee to Supplant the
usual scent price paid for a cup
of the beverage in restaurants was
forecast today as the result of pos
sible increases in mikl and cream
prices.
In a statement today James N.
West, owner of a lunch room chain,
said any rise in the price of cream
would necesSitate a corresponding
charge for a cup of coffee. He
said:
IF this rise in milk prices
goes through, the price of coffee
has to go to 10 cents a cup.
The biggest item of cost in COT
fee is cream"
West supplied auditors figures
collected from the five establish
mentS in his system showing a
total cost of a cup of coffee to
be $.0497. The one-ounce jigger
of cream given with the coffee
is estimated to cost 212 cents, &C
cording to figures by the Wash
ington Restaurant Association.
Department of Agriculture ex-
perts say the granting of a AGENT
a-gallon increase in prices paid to
producers for milk would cause
an increase to farmers of 5 cents
a quart for cream.

LIQUOR BOARD
IGNORES PLEA
0FH0SP|7AL
Grants License After
Letter From Woodrinq
Hits Dewitt Stand

Following receipt of a strongly
worded letter from Secretary Of
War Harry H. Woodring, the
District Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today reversed its
policy regarding the licensing of
liquor establishments in the vicin-
ity of military hospitals.
The board conferred with the
District Commissioners today and
decided to issue an off-sale license
to Aaron Aronson, 1900 block
Georgia Ave. N. W., for dispensing
all kinds of liquor.
At hearing on Aronson'S appli-
cation for the license Col j. w.
Meehan, executive officer of Wal
ter Reed Hospital, protested issu-
ance of the license on behalf of
Gen: Wallace Dewitt, the hospital
commanding officer. Basis for the
objection was the proximity of the
store to the hospital.
Three other applications for IL
censes previously had been turned
down by the A. B. C. Board be-
cause of similar objections.
Secretary Woodring, in a letter
to the board outlined the War De-
partment's policy, which was to
the effect that no objection would
be made providing the liquor store
was sufficiently distant from the
hospital to meet the requirements
of District law in cases of other
hospitals. The letter continued:
81 have been told informally
that officials of Walter Reed
General Hospital operating I'M
der a misunderstanding as to
the War Department policy as
stated in this letter have made
objections before your board in
consistent with this letter. /
request that you disregard any
objections made by any official
of Walter Reed General Hos
pital or any other official or
agency of the War Department
or the Army inconsistent with
the policy of the War Depart
ment as stated in this letter."
George w. Offutt, chairman of
the A. B. C. board, said the local
liquor laws did not contain any
provisions relative to banning
liquor stores in the vicinity of hos
pitfalls and military reservations,
but that the boards policy had
been to acceed to requests when
made by officials of institutions
of this type.
