Qualities Since it is devoted to the memory OF
the Perfect Man. it's observance homes our sense OF
honor of honesty of reverence for all things good
And we surely need this spiritual qulckemng IN
these 'hard- boiled :" times
Perhaps the quality most universally
lacked is honesty. We don't the kind Of
honesty that is reflected by paying debts. We re-
fer to mental honesty We can not conceive how
mentally honest people can be violently part1san
For instance at present we receiving reams
of publicity to the effect that three men, on trial
for the killing Of one Alberts, the victims OF
designing interests, notably the Standard Oh 20.
The three men are Union men. We know moth
ing about the case (and this publicity we re-
ceive doesn't enlighten us-perhaps because we
might form an opinion contrary to that wished on
us by the authors Of IT'D and wish to be fair as
we can to both lnionists and employers But we
are given no chance. Calm reflection makes 1t
appear childish to imagine that great corpora
ton should conspire to murder nonentlties And
it is easily discernibe that the content Of this pub
lcitv does not appeal to reason but to emotions
and prejudice. Probably they wonder why their
publicity is unused! Were the writer's of that par
ticular piece of publicity mentally honest they
would appeal to reason. Since they don't, we re
forced to conclude they are trying to pull 4
somethng-to put something over.
We are not inclined to be overly critical
of the present Democratic administration. We
gave Secretary Wallace full credit for his meas
ures to build up the price of agricultural products
to bolster a necessary industry. Yet when we
read articles in which that administration places
all the blame for it's present predicament on the
drouth the one fact that looms up is the evasion
practiced- mental trickery. Folks will forget,
you know that SURPRISES were ruthlessly re-
duced and our production drasticay decreased
by the same administration.
We remember sterling old characters of
whom it was said: His word is good his
bond; orr You can bank on anything he tells
you. The Master Of Men honest, kindly,
tolerant-not evasive equivocal, sly or tricky.
Christmas should incte us to resolve to bring back
the above mentioned race Of vanishing men.
Generosity has come to represent the e
ptome Of the Spirit Of Christmas. Let's broaden
it to include Tolerance and mental honesty Do a
way with fin-fam, term for evasion, equivoca-
ton and misleading publicity. No wonder the in
fuence of the press has vanished. The newspap-
ers have coached the witness much III recent
years that the reader instnctively crosses his fin
gers when he reads editorial opinions. Here's
hoping that the Christmas Spirit reneWs our men
tai courage and disglsts with hinl-ham.

 The damming lister throws up ridges at intervals of from 12 to Is feet between ordinary furrows. En- thusiasts claim the little basins conserve every drop of water that falls on a field.

M a n h ood
Give Him a Chance to
Develop and
Grow.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE night when the adolescent son
# the house says with assumed
nonchalance, I'm going out tonight
and I wont be home until late, so
don't wait for me-" marks milestone
in his life. If father can look up
casually and say, "Ill leave the hall
light on" and resume his reading,
he and the boys mother have achleveo
merit. They are graduated with
honor. parents summa cum laude."
Boys and girls of adolescent years
arrive at the moment when self
guidance becomes their imperative
need They have reached a stage OF
growth that demands self direction.
There is nothing anybody can do or
that anybody ought to do, to hold
back that moment or to deny its full
fillment. All training from birth to
that moment should have pointed
that way. If the chile is not able
| to take care of himself when that in
stinct blossoms, training has been a
failure and the child will have to
struggle through a mire OF errors
and adjustments painful to him and
tis people.
Again and again parents are both
cred by the problems of this stage
of growth. How many times a week
should a young person go out? How
long shall he stay? Shall he have
key? Should some one go with him?
Ought some one to stay up for him?
There is no positive answer to such
questions. What is to be done depends
entirely upon the character OF the
child you are dealing with II he
has developed a sense of under
standing and some responsibility he
Is as safe as life allows him to be.
If he is still undisciplined and un-
trained, still a child who needs direc-
ton and supervision in the smallest
details. then he is in bad way. But
he must help himself and train HIM
self now. Experience must be his
costly teacher.
The training for personal living.
for a healthy, well-rounded self, Is
a long, slow process, covering tie
years between birth and adolescence.
Always in the parents minds shou
be the thought, What will this dec
sion mean to him when he is l.?
Will this training make him sell
directing. or will it make him clil g
to childhood and childish ways:
One must always remember that
children grow steadily. if uneveniT.
day by day, experience upon expert
ence, building the character that is
to last throughout his days. 1t is
not possible to keep children depend
ent for the years between infancy and
maturity and then demand full-fedged
power. Life is not like that. 1t is
a matter of step by step and no
time out.
Begin early to teach a child to help
himself, and never stop doing so.
Spread his field of experiment and
adventure gradually, but keep spread
ing. Give him a chance to make
mistakes while he still has time to
correct them and adjust himself to
the right ways. Don't try to keep
your baby. If you do you will find
him a grievous burden the day his
| maturity of body asserts itself.

shortcomings. If she wants him
to change a habit she should give him
higher alternative; something that
he will learn to want. She shouldn't
hammer away at him. Such tactics
will never get him to change.
Even the most sophisticated man
can be controlled and changed by the
woman who is clever. In fact, he
likes it.
She ought to supply sweetness and
tolerance and understanding to q
marked degree. And loyalty. The
man supplies the energy. power and
courage. He doesn't expect these
from the woman.
A little jealousy is fiattering, but q
lot can destroy the finest love. The
smart woman never questions her
husband. He'll lie to her. If she
catches him, then he'll hate her. She
should rather live in blissful ig-
norance. I believe most men are
more loyal than they are credited
with being.
I think it is essential @hat the
woman adjust herself to her hus-
bands moods. Marriage is her game.
Most men know nothing about it.
But they will do anything to make It
q success If properly encouraged. 4
