NO CHILD INHERITS
HONESTY OR VIRTUE

Honesty is not inherited and par
at some deceit practiced by their
children, but Mrs. Mary E. Ger
laugh, specialist in child develop
ment, Ohio State university, says
| that parents astonishment should
not be allowed to dictate the mea-
sures used to correct the fault COM
mitted
Mrs. Gerlaugh gives the quotation,
Thou shalt strive to be sign post
on the way of life not rut out of
which the wheel cannot turn" in
explaining the relationship that
should exist between parent and
child. 1t is a common belief that
children are happy beings whose
lives are continuous rounds Of pleas
ure but this is not true.
The children have desires that are
| missed by the parents with little
consideration and then are surprised
when they find the child has dis
obeyed and told falsehoods to con-
ceal the diSobedience. The usual
impulse of the parent is that the
child deserves double punishment
for the original fault and the subse-
quent attempt to hide it. Mrs. Ger
| laugh objects to such measure
ments for punishment and asks par
| ents to attempt to find out what the
child was thinking about and it's
motives for disobeying
The child development specialist
admits that it is hard for an older
person to get the child's viewpoint
and to gain the youngsters conf
dence. One way Mrs. Gerlaugh sug-
gests for parents to get a better un-
derstanding of children is to read
| good fiction in which the author
| uses child characters. One story
suggested is Hugh Walpole's "Jer-
emy"

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT

Appointment of Anthony E. Karnes to continue Territorial Commissioner of Education for another four years comes welcome to the Commis- sioner's hundreds of friends and those who like to their children get the same advantages so far as is possible. with the youngsters in the States
 Mir. Karnes is an excellent educator as his record of the last four years reveals He has undertaken to that every child in Alaska has the advantage of the best that the Territory afford. His recom- mendations have brought results in Washington and Alaska has shared in more Federal aid than before in her history His program for the future is which progress in the Territory's educa tona policy
 MT. Karnes was elected to office four years ago from Ketchikan where he Superintendent of Schools. A year later. the office of Commissioner made elective by the Legislature and it is under that law that the Board of Education has named Mir Karnes to continue.
 There is in the Legislature bill asking that the Commissioners position again be made elective Similar proposal made in the last Legislature but it failed of passage What the present lawmakers will do remains to be seen There is no intention here to influence them way the other. But are convinced that appointive official spend more of his time taking of his work than the ind- vual who has to go to the voters every often to gain approval and does his tasks with his eye the polling places.

cefnber since the Reserve Board statisticians began their computations in the present form The September adjusted production index of 1929 was not the highest of that year; it had reached 125 in June But, with the exception of six months in 1929 the number for last De- cember is above that of any month on the Federal Reserves records back to 1921.
 This comparison becomes somewhat less startling, in light of the fact that last months American steel production exceeded that of any month since October 1929 and was ap- parently the largest December production the record. Last weeks Labor Bureau "in- dustrial employment index for December, 97.7 per cent of 1923-25, was not only the highest of any month since December 1929 but was above the yearly average of 1924 or 1922. All such comparisons suggest that whereas year or two ago the best current records of production and transportation only matched those of 1881 and whereas last years early rise brought them back to the achieve ment of 1930 comparison nowadays (barring the influence of strikes and floods) runs back to 1929, if not much farther.
 There is no reason for surprise at this. It has been hertofore pointed out that, in recov- cry from older depressions, such branches of trade as steel production and railway loadings surpassed all previous records two or three years after the collapse of the previous boom and did so before the depression period itself was over. Population goes on increasing, with or without prosperity, and a few years of the extreme economies practiced by con- Sumers in hard times leave very substantial backlog for heavily increased production

Horoscope s'The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY r, 1s3'

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY IT, 1887
 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which should be most favor able to important matters affect ing business and the Federal gov ernment.
 Merchants and manufacturers are to face extraordinary demands. Ex- ports from the United States are to reach a great volume.
 This is a propitious time to start new enterprises. They are to be pushed in the early spring when there will be surprising and extra ordinary conditions of trade.
 Under this configuration fore sight should be keen and depend- able. The wise will pause to clar- fly vision Of the future in busi- ness and the learned professions.
 This is a favorable day for ad- vertising and suspicious for sign ing contracts or leases. Interna- tional agreements are forecast as promising for the future.
 Again sharp fluctuations of stock markets are prognosticated. Finan- cial values will be uncertain and will concern leading foreign banks, some of which are to meet with difficulties.
 Emigration to the British colon ies is to be widely discussed in England as war clouds grow more menacing. South Africa is under a direction of the stars which is most promising.
 Severe weather may prevail in New York, Boston and Chicago There will be heavy losses on ac- count of fires, and crime will be even more prevalent than former ly.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Many pleasures will at tend increase of wealth.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be keen of mind and active of body. Subjects of this sign of Aquarius are generally fond of adventure intellectual as well as physical.
 Cardinal Taschereau, Canadian prelate, was born on this day 1920. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Frederick E. Ives, inventor, 1856; Rene Laennec, in- ventor of the stethoscope, 1781 s. s. Mcclure, editor, 1857.

Credulity's Last Stand
Cincinnati Enauirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The debunkng of history a great pastime in recent years is slowing down because there isn't much material left to work We all know by now-or have the word of the debunkers for it-that George Washington didn't chop down the cherry tree and might have fbbed about it if he had: that Colum- bus didn't discover America first; that Sir Walter Raleigh kept his coat on; that Jonah couldn't very well have been swallowed by the whale and we have been led to doubt that there ever was a Socrates or that Shakespeare wrote his own plays
 Now having virtually exhausted the possibilities of history, the debunkers addressing themselves to our popular beliefs and sayings Now we are being told that it is to say wise as an owl" because owls really aren't very smart The expression chicken hearted is enormously used we are told in view of the courage of gamecocks. We are cautioned that we must explain that do not mean all the bees when we say busy a bee" for some bees are mo- torously idle.
 To the mounting heap of shattered beliefs is added yet another word that the loon is ac- tually pretty sensible fowl discovery which jars the old saying crazy a loon" Inevitably the fox will be proved stupid just the lion already has been shown to be a rather timorous beast at times
 We're even prepared to learn that an eel isn't really slick and doesn't fly straight that cat isn't curious and rhinoceroS in reality has thin skin The fight will come however when the debunk- CTS try to tell us that we don't work like dog
