 Your Children
By OIive ROberts Baftom

Mother Goose knew her children. Sometimes she rhymed about little girls, but most of her protagonists are boys. Tn nearly all of the rhymes however, one character-trait stands out.
 Take Jack Horner, for instance He sat in @ corner with his back to the world, eating pie with his thumb. Then he sang over his shoulder, "What good boy am 1T. Because he was quiet and not both- ering anyone, the fatuous little prig thought he was to be admired.
 We can read any number of les- sons into Jacks actions, but let's not go too deep. Just say that the little rascal was doing what he wanted in the way he wanted, but, because he was out of everyones way, he thought he was being good. Parents Fail to See Faults
 And I know his parents thought him grand, this riousy lad who cleared of to work his mischief and never got underfoot, even on Christi mas.
 Many parents, for some reason or other, want their children to give an impression of being good, without troubling to discover what may lie underneath. A thousand things boil and moil in every child. He is going to be himself, be sure, under some conditions, somewhere. If he cannot be naturaly under his mothers nose for any length or time, he is going to be doubly nat- ural in school or in his playn1ates yard.
 The secret of good behavior, and good manners, is to make decency natural. It cannot be done success fully by precept or haInmering rules Into him like butter into beaten bis- cult, but by the whole home envir- onment and the example Of the family. Culture becomes second ma. ture to the child in the cultured family. But underneath must be Q perfectly genuine flneness of char acter and kindness.
 Quietness Is Not Goodness I wonder if Jacks parents were with him very much. Whether they really knew their boy, at all. That he was anti-social and vulgar from being left to the wrong kind of Q nurse, or just anyone who answered an "ad," and could keep Q kid quiet.
 Keep the child home enough to know what he Is. Keep an eye on him to know what he is thinking and doing. Don't take 1t for granted that uietness is goodness. See tnat he does not develop craft. And, above all, don't let him turn into Q Pharisee crying his holiness from Q corner, or e jack Horner, either. The genuine child is artless. Some- times difilcult and sometimes not. Give him to me, either way. ike him, I don't want any veneer, or pose of rectitude. Gold, silver, cop- per or tin, want his label. Alloys are all right, but no parading under false trade marks. Maybe Jack even stole his pie from Tiny Tim next door, Yet, because he was quiet, he made the world think he was good"
 I am sure Mother Goose was less fond of Jack than any Of her Copyright, 1886, NEA Service. Incl

Watch Your Calories And
 Grow Slender

Here's why I half-starve and stay fatp exclaims Mrs. Plump. From now on I'll count calories, eat 8 satisfying meals a day and grow slender"
 Eating 1 slice of bread, Brazil nut, 1 date, 1 doughnut, leaves you still hollow. Yet the same number of calories in IS stalks of aspara- gus, 1 head of lettuce, 1 peach, 2 large punches of grapes, more than fills you.
 Try this 530-calory dinner. It's filling but slenderizing: 3 stalks ce- lery, radishes, 1 slice lean roast beef, Ia cup string beans, 2 baked onions, tomato lettuce salad, tea spoon French dressing, Ia cup ap- pie snow, 1 glass skim-milk.

and there won't De that breathless racingn to get places that has 6 reaction of exhaustion and depres- sion. It is very hard sometimes for the busy mother to live up to this letter of the law. Many things in family life interfere with her regu- lar rest. But in this case, at least the children can turn in on time. And the parents must do the best they can.
 If there is homework to be done, the child will do better if he has the moral backing of his parents. If they see that heh as @ quiet corner tor, better still, his own roorn), and turn the radio of, problems won't take so long. And are more likely to be right.
 See that there is Q regular time allotted for home studies, Don't al- low Billy to talk about the movies until they are out of the way. Put away his book of adventure stories and say, "Get that work done first" If this sounds too heroic, heratless and unsympathetic, 1t Is best to re- member that he will feel much bet ter with his job off his mind. He will enjoy his book or his movie far more with a clear conscience. How ever, if the family rises very early, morning is a grand time to dispatch lessons. The only trouble here is that something might happen to interfere.

many generations 1t was the prin- cipal food of shepherds and peas. ants in Asia and Europe.
 But it's no longer only a peas- ants dish! A king couldn't ask for better food than the cheeses we find in such bewildering variety in our stores.
 Like the original cheese maker, most of us discover cheese by acci- dent. A better way, though, is to try one kind after another, and ex- plore the whole field, like an ad- venturer in foreign land.
 It's astonishing how families can Dc made to love cheese, and how much easier the judicious use of cheese makes the summer cooking job.

TORONTO, Ontario, Oct. %
1N.SO.-To hasten settlement OF
the $4,000 Millar Stork derby,
contending mothers, with the ex.
ception of Mrs. Martin Kenny, had
agreed verbally today to claim
only nine eligible children born
in the last decade.
Despite the fact that they pre-
viouSly had been advised that
agreement of this nature would
not be valid, the majority of the
mothers came to a voluntary
agreement.
This would allow a five-way split
of the money, since H. C. Nixon,
provincial secretary. has ruled
that Millar will contenders will
not be allowed to make late regis
trationS of birth.
Under the will of Charles Vance
Millar the Toronto mother giving
birth to the greatest number of
children registered under the vital
statistics act in the 10 years fol-
lowing his death should receive
the residue of his estate. The
race ends October 81.
Mrs. Arthur Timleck and Mrs.
John Nagle appear to be the
leaders with 10 children each.
Mrs. Pauline Clarke, the former
Mrs. x. and Mrs. Annie Smith,
a new entry, claim nine. Mrs.
Kenny's counsel claims IL al
though his client originally
boosted IS but he admits two are
unregistered. So Ms. Kenny'S
total is now reduced to nine.

81 don't know what you mean."
Mrs. James Meldrum, who has
given birth to nine children in the
last 10 years, made this reply
when a Victorian Order nurse
asked her why she didn't register
as a contender in the Millar Will
Maternity Marathon. Now her
name is listed as a claimant, and
today there is a chance that she
may share in the $750,000 stork
derby prize.
II never heard of Charles
Vance MilIar or his will"
Mrs. Medium so declared when
the nurse had explained the i'm
portance of her inquiry, telling her
that a fortune had been left for
the mother who gave birth in
Toronto to the greatest number
Of children within 10 years after
Millar's death on october 81, 1926.
Decides to Enter
Later Mrs. Medium looked into
the matter and decided to enter
the race. She said today:
81 inquired about Mr.. Millar'S
will and it looked as if might
possibly have a chance to get
part of the prize, even though l
knew nothing about it until the
nurse told me. 1 talked it over
with my husband, and he ScOffed
at the idea, saying some of the
other mothers had borne 10 or
II children while I had only
nine. But 1 learned that the
claims of some of them had
been disputed. Anyway, didn't
want to miss any possible
chance.
Certainly 1 didn't have a lot
Of children in the hope of win
ming a prize, for 1 knew nothing
about it. Indeed, if we had
known my husband would ever
be without a job, so we would
have to go on relief, I'm sure
we would not have wanted to
have such a big family. 1t hurts
to have to accept relief, after so
many years that we were able
to earn our own way, and if I
get any part of that money, I'll
pay the city back every copper
they have given us.
HASN'T TOLD MATE
81 haven't told my husband
yet that 1 have entered the con-
test for the prize, and he will be
surprised when he finds out. But
/ thought / ought to try to get
part of that money if 1 am en-
titled to it,"
Mrs. Meldrum is a bit anxious
about one of her children being
recognized as eligible-a baby
that died at birth in 1923, and
for which she got no birth certif-
icate. She said:
"But the undertaken told me,
and the doctor, too, that 1
wouldn't have to register the
birth, so long as 1 had a death
certificate, and 1 thought they
must know"
The husband, James Medium,
was born in Edinburgh A years
ago and came to Toronto 80
years ago. He served almost four
years in the Forty-fourth Bat
talon. He is a paperhanger by
trade, and had steady employ
ment until November, 1884. Since
then he has had no regular
work, and part of the time has
been compelled to accept relief.
Mrs. Meldrum, born in Cavan,
Ireland, is 33 years old. She
was married 16 years ago and
has borne IL children, of whom
nine are living.
