 AS soon as the focal mass enters the rectuin, the distension of tho rectum gives rise to c nerineal Aeiis sation and the desire to defecate. This accounts for the general habit of evacuation after breakfast.

Your Children

presence on all their failures. l always wonder if this is a regular diet, or whether the skeletons are brought out and rattled only on my visits.
 These are good mothers, too, and if anyone else mentioned discrepan. cies on the part of their boys and girls, challenge would be instantly ready. It is just habit, l think, this discrediting of their offspring, or maybe a bid for protest from me, In any case, it is most discouraging to little children.
 Always Belittling"
 Most children make over sixty in department, both at home and school. Many rank in the seventies and eighties, maybe nineties. Isn't this rather wonderful, taking into consideration all the impulse and spontaneousness of childhood, Its lack of experience and ignorance of values? I wonder if the rest of us would rate as high, with our little subterfuges and artificialties renlov- ed.
 We mothers have great re. sponsibility in keeping self-respect blooming. Our children want to know that we think them tops.
 There is another matter that bothers me sometmies. Not long ago I called at a house where the father seemed to be in Coventry, or the "doghouse," in soldier patois, because he and mother were on the outs about half the time.
 This lady did not hesitate to say, "Oh, your father drives me wild, Why would he tell you to do that?" Or, John has no sense ct all. I just tell the children not to pay any attention to him."
 Fathers, too, often think 1t a good poke to disparaee their wives before the family. The children join in a big cheer over Mothers ignor. ance about who's playing who in the hocky game, or the name of 8 movie star she mispronounces. It Is not always you, mother, who does the belittling.
 Of course, we can say and do things that come into our heads. We have to be natural above all else. Family life is largely a matter of give-and take. and some good hearty chaffing. But when 1t becomes too one-sided, or too habitual, 1t upsets balance, and children need confid- ence not only in themselves, but in every other member.
 Hide Parental Discord
 If parents don't get along happily each can at least use care in up- holding the value of the others stock to the children. The boy loves to think that his mother is proud of his father, as it affects him very deeply from @ psychological stand- point. He is just about as anxious to have his father treat his mother respectfully and kindly. Girls, too base their happiness and conduct on home relationships.
 Tie family that sets store upon mutual admiration is the best there is. It is worth all the effort it costs. Copyright, 1887. NEA Service, Incl

Radioactive Glamor
 Among the G-0irls whose glamor electrified the ether waves during the past year, lovely Maxine Mar lowe, featured vocalist with Phil spitalny's all-girl orchestra, is tops. The voice of the tali, slender, dark haired Maxine probably sent more quivers along masculine spinal columns than any other.
 Miss Marlowe was born 2l years ago, in Columbus, O., went to Ohio State University, was active in the giee club and dramatic society there. She likes professional men, preferably doctors and lawyers, is- ually wears black and white and loves gardenias.

attempt to uphold the laws against
aggressive wars exactly as we would
the lawbreakers? One point ought to
stand out clear; that none Of our eco
nomic power should be available to
the aggressOr There will be no diff
ficulty in deciding who is the agrees
sOr, no more than who was the ag-
gressor in Ethiopia or Spain.
We can only be safe from war If
wars are banished from the world.
1t seems to me that the only thing
we can do to this end (Which the
United States is not doing at presently
is to cooperate with other nations to
strengthen the League of Nations as
the most practical means available for
building:
1. A system of effective collective
security. which may ultimately mean
an international police force similar
to what we depend on in any city ad-
ministratiOn.
2. A system Of substituting peaceful
change for violent change in dealing
with those conflicts of an economic
and political sort that lead to war.
The present league of states. each
jealous of her sovereignty, must be
developed into a federal government.
There is no other way, so it seems
to me, to prevent war in the world
and no way by which the United
States can have security so that she
can avoid being drawn into future
wars if they are not prevented. 1t
seems to me that the only way for
the United States is net to retire into
self-righteous neutrality-but to CO.
operate with other nations to enthrone
peace through justice. An ounce of
cooperation now might be worth a
pound of isolated neutrality after TIE
conflagratiOn. We should act to keep
the conflict from starting. AS a ma
tiOn we have so far pursued a mega
tive policy of saying we would not
take part in another war.
One great factor toward world
peace, it seems to me, would be free
trade between the nations.

LAW AND ORDER

Editor ASkOv American:
Reading the different opinions
which are said nowadays about the
cOnstitutiOnality of the laws created
by the New Deal administration
many people ask the question, What
will there become of law and order
if nobody knows the principles of the
law laid down in the Constitution
or to say the least if authority dis
agrees on the meaning of it,"
If it were not for the use of COM
mon sense, chaos would rule. The
strike in Albert Lea has proved tina:
Mr.. Roosevelt is right not to interfere
with force in labor troubles.
Albert Lea gives us a picture how
things would go if the system as
recommended by reactiOnaries was fol-
lowed and the Constitution provides
for allowing him to use forces in cases
of sit-down strikes.
The brutal action by using non
strikers as deputy sheriffs to break
the strike turned out to be a victory
for organized labor. This might be
moral loss to factory owners, but
on the other side a gain for both par
ties. These owners have to admit
to be licked by their own method
Their foolish action restored order
and everybody started to work. all
being happy, with nobody in Jail.
hope that this is lesson for all
who think that Mr.. Roosevelt neglects
his duty by not using lawful force in
labor troubles.
1t is sure that the "law and order
men of Albert Lea were not aiming
for this result.

THE PASSING OF LARRY HO

\iHc MiHleSoCd UNION AuVoCdtc)
The untimely passing of Laurence
c. Hodgson, better known as Larry
HO. brought to close a life of serv-
ice that cannot be computed accord
ing to modern standards of values.
His leave-taking of this life is a mat
ter OF keen regret to thousands of
humble men and women who loved
him for his humaneness, his bread
sympathy for the underprivileged and
the friendless.
Larry Ho lived his own gentle phil
osOphy. 1t was not for him to stand
out on the firing line as a militant
advocate of any school of thought.
1t Just was not his nature to be mill
tant. Yet he did not lack the moral
courage to defend those who could
not defend themselves.
He had many weaknesses, but for
all of these, he had moral stamina.
He knew his weaknesses. He never
knew his strength.
Larry Ho had the native elements
of greatness. He loved the simple
things of life and his religion had
none OF the narrowneSs, the bigotry
and intolerance of a single creed. His
tongue was eloquent; his poetry was
of that quality which ever glorified
the homely and the beautiful TT ings
of life. He knew human values; he
knew the fickleness of fame; he could
differentiate between the true and the
false. He hated pretense if he hated
anything at all. He never betrayed
a friend.
He lived gently. He died as he
lived, and in his passing ST. Paul
has suffered loss it cannot realize
at this moment. But the years will
be many and the years will be long
before another Larry HO can claim
the affection he claimed by his SIM
pie living, his deep understanding
and his willingness to be tolerant and
gentle in his judgment of others.
Good luck, Larry Ho, and God bless
you!
