 What we call fear Is 6 reaction depending on experience and dis-- crifnination. It is one of the most ihnportant forces in our lives. 1T 1t were not for fear, we would expose ourselves to dangers which would De fatal to the human race.
 Children must learn what to fear and what not to fear, A cowardly child is one who has learned to fear when 1t should not fear.
 Many parents teach their children to obey by threatening them with unknown dangers. The greatest fear of all Is the fear of the unknown.
 If 0 child is given an adequate explanation of the reason for dark ness, if it is told about animals and aided to become used to them, If 1t sees it's own parents net with equa- Yaomity when subjected to small cuts, bruises, and pains, the child prob ably will learn to face these things courageously.
 Cowardice, once developed, leads to Q host of anxieties, Moreover, the child soon learns to use It's coward ice, it's anxieties, and It's fears as weapons to get what 1t wants. For example, by shrieks of terror the child can bring It's mother to It's bedside, and by continuing the ahrieks 1t can keep her there.
 There is no reason why a child should lie awake in fear of darkness burglars, giants, or the like, threats of which have over-stimulated it's nervous system.
 In helping 8 child to overcome fear, Q parent first should determine definitely the nature of the object that is feared. Parents are likely to threaten @ child who develops wrong sex habits with mutilation of the body.
 This fear of mutilation may mark not only the entire youth of the child, but may affect it's life as a whole. The modern parent will learn to be frank with children and not to threaten them with punishments or dangers which are wholly fantastic.
 one child psychologist talked with parents who complained that their children were constantly cross and irritable, had nightmares, made up fantastic stories, were shy, difiident, sensitive, or exceedingly rude. This does not mean that all the children had all these symptoms. Some had only one bad habit: the others had several.
 When the children were studied carefully, definite bases were found for each of these mental habits. The conditions were relieved by getting these children to play with others sometimes by sending them away to vinit relatives at Q distance, or by &sndlng them to a distant school.
 In other words, in the majority Of cases, most of tho trouble was due to a wrong relationship bee

 Remember that 1t Is important to correct bad mental habits as soon as possible. Mental habits that de- velop before the child is c years old are the ones which are carried throughout life.
 In this period habits of speech and, frequently, mechanical skills are established. In this period, too, the child may develop control of his surroundings by tantrums or fits, or it may learn to adjust Itself to liv- ing with other people in compara- tive comfort and calm.

scavenger cells of the blood. If your phagocytes are weak you are in no condition to withstand an. invasion by disease germs.
 one of the causes of this agranu- Iocytosis or leucopenia is the popu- lar habit of resorting to -killera for every little discomfort. Certain drugs indiScriminately incorporated in hundreds of rlostrumS for head ache, grippe, "coldS," that tired feel- ing or what have you, seem to Dc destructive to these white blood cor- puscleS. Among the drugs which have produced this disease are ami. dopyrine, anti-pyrin, pyramidon and several variations of similar charac- ter.
 So many cases of agranulocytosis have occurred in the past few years that physicians now ban af11idopy- rine altogether and prescribe itl- stead acetanilide or phenacetlne as an anodyne or ache and pain relief, os acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), aS these old standby pain.killerS have been found comparatively safe.
 Personally, I'd endure ordinary ache or pain or nalaiSe rather than take Q dose of even aspirin. I be- lieve aspirin is more or less deStruc- tive to red blood corpugcleB. We know acetanilide or phenacetine do. stroyS red corpuScles and interfercS with the en-carrying function of the blood. Even tard-boiled Uns cle Sam questioned the practice of Incorporating these Coal.tar deriv- ativeS in medicines sold indigCrifiii- nately to the public, but CompRoii1- ised with his microscopic soul by merely requiring that the quantity of tho drug in the medicine Do inen- toned on the label.
 Acetaniiide is c habit.formine drug. If used frequently over Q long period of time it will cause anemin It will damage the heart. Some per- sons who acquire the habit eventu- ally suffer grave impairment ol health and mental disturbance.
 No treatment for agranulocytoS. is can be of avail. Only the recogni' ton of the cause of the trouble ant stopping the use of the drug wil enable the victim to recover.
 If one must take something fol ache, pain or distress, I should say aspirin is the least injurious anodyne or pain.kilIer one can take No particular brand of aspirin (ace- tylasalicylic acid). There are an, number of reputable manufacturers of aspirin, and one make is aS goot as another.
 None of these anodynes or anti pyretics (reducing fever) cures any thing. It is a sad mistake to takt such drugs in the childish beliei that they are good remedies. They are pain-killers and that's oil. ThC question for any intelligent person to ask when he considers taking such ant anodyne Is whether relief of the pain or distress justifieg the risk. In most instances the only honest answer is no.

 Now she's "the extra wom- an" and, according to Mario rie Hills, if she doesn't have a good time, living ''gaily and graciously," it's nobody's fault but her own.
 Miss Hills, who has been making observations about extra women and studying their problems for several years, has worked out series of rules or technique for them and has put all her findings together in a book to be published shortly un- der the title Tive Alone and Like It."
 Extra women are a problem" l" she says, "even when they're as alluring as Peggy Joyce. They're . problem to their married friends who must provide extra men for dinner parties and bridge oppo- nents. And they're Q problem to themselves, too"

 "The old-fashioned notion that solitary women are objects of char fly was killed in the war.

 Not long ago this column con. taIned suggestions for mothers travelling with young children But dld not attempt to help her out in her decision about leaving him. Nor do I now, because 50 many things touch each oege that I could not possibly know about.
 But taking one letter as c basis for discussion, 1t might help to Crystailize thought on tho subject.
 This mother has an only child, about two and Q half years old. His parents want to take q long motor trip to sec the home folk. A competent relative would stay and keep tho baby, attending to his regular routine and consulting his own doctor when necessary.

Looking at 1t calmly, I believe her own emotions are paramount to her, although unconsciously 50 cannot weigh facts. but in hei own mind there must be some. thing to tell her WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR THE CHILD.

to get something to eat before he
goes to sleep"
In the back end Of that old log was
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. He had
a nest there, nice, comfortable nest.
He had some seeds stored away In
that old log. OF course, he knew
that Reddy Fox and Terror the
Goshawk were someyhere outside, but
it didn't worry him at all. He could
eat and sleep and have nothing to
worry about Now Whitefoot had
some little tunnels in the snow. He
could travel around through these
little tunnels and no one ~ the
wiser. After long time. when he
saw the young Grouse was beginning
to get uneasy, Whitefoot slipped out
into one of these tunnels. He ran
along it until he came to the foot
of a dead tree that had little hole
at the very bottom. That tree was
hollow. Whitefoot climbed up inside
to another little hole. out Of which
he peeked. Then Whitefoot scam
pered down back through the old
tunnel into his own log.
They're both out there, waiting
for you," he squeaked to the young
Grouse.

loses them much, while patience often
gains them what they want.
Reddy Fox wanted a Grouse for
dinner. Terror the Goshawk wanted
q Grouse for dinner. Both wanted
the same Grouse, and both meant
to have it. You see, they both knew
that a certain young Grouse was
down in a snowbank, for they had
eeen hiss plunge into the snow there.
Reddy knew exactly where the young
Grouse was, for he had dug down
and discovered that the Grouse had
crept into a hollow log. There was
no way of getting him out. 1t was
wholly matter of patience.
So Reddy sat down back Of that
log, where he couldn't be seen by
the young Grouse, and made up his
mind that he would be patient and
wait until that bird came out. Ter
ror the Goshawk. perched on a tall
stub not far away, decided that he.
too, would be patient. THAT Grouse
is still down there in the snow" said
Terror to himself. IF he had flown
out I would have seen him. Any
way, Reddy wouldn't be waiting.
Reddy failed to make him fly when
he dug down in the snow, SO that
Grouse must be hiding somewhere
where Reddy can't get at him. It's
just a matter of patient waiting. My.
but I'm hungry"
As for the young Grouse, he was
thankful to be safe inside that hol-
low log, but he was badly fright
ened and worried young Grouse.
However am 1 going to get out of
here alive?" thought he. THAT Fox
is probably waiting. He's probably
waiting just outside this log. Proba-
bly, that Hawk is waiting, too. The
only thing can do is to have more
patience than they have. I'll just
have to outwait them. I'll starve to
death in here before I'll let one Of
them catch me. Yes, sir. I'll starve
10 death first"
OF course, that was very easy for
The young Grouse to say. because at
The time he wasn't even hungry. It
would be different later. Reddy Fox
looked over at Terror the Goshawk,
and there was an ugly look in Reddy's
eyes. Il can sit as long as he can,"
said Reddy to himself. If he thinks
he can outsit me, he has another
guess coming. can be as patient
Is he can. Anyway. If that Grouse
doesn't come out before night he
won't come out at all. That is. he
won't come out before morning. If

Whale Burials in Dispute.

Whether the authorities Of Fife,
Scotland, gave nine unwanted whales
a more elaborate burial than was af-
forded the 43 monsters which were
cast up on the shores of Angus, Is
what the Fife taxpayers want to know.
They have just learned that obsequies
for the nine stranded at Fife cost the
taxpayers $3.50. whereas nearly five
times as many were inferred by Angus
for only $96.15.
