Child Needs
More Than
Commands
Give Him a Reason
and He Will Obey
More Cheerfully.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


4 FTER children reach the stage
where they begin to seek causes
and reasons for things, one has to
meet them half way and give them
reasons for regulations and rules.
What for?" must be answered
honestly or obedience will be observed
with lessening cheerfulness and sure
ness. If a parent feels outraged by
the thought that he ought to give
reasons for his requests and demands,
he can know by that sign that he
needs to ask himself for those reasons.
Giving orders because observance
OF them will make life q bit more
comfortable is not a good reason.
1t soon wears out its efficacy. Chill
dren will not obey selfish demands
beyond what they can help. Get
home by 10 o'clock" says father. He
may be animated by deep interest in
the young sons health and he may be
guarding his own comfort. To be
sure that comfort is wrapped in his
desire for the safety Of his son, but
he must know that safety is not one
of youths ambitions, and accept the
risks and discomforts that accompany
growth.
And remember, Bobby, come
straight home from school. want you
here at 20 minutes past 3. No later"
Now 20 minutes past means that
Bobby runs all the way home, starts
at the school gate at dismissal and
never let's up until he arrives painting
at the door. Naturally he wants to
know why this demand upon his
energy and desires. He wants to fool
little along the way, stop and chat
with this one and that, look in at the
barn doors or the shop windows on the
way. Half past 3, even quarter to four,
he can arrange comfortably and
happily. Why the hurry?
If his mother gets angry and says,
Because I say so," he will not feel
agreeable. He will count up all his
losses in this race for the home door,
way and begin to think them not
worth the effort. All he gets out of 1t
is a pain In his side. He decides to
forget it.
But II mother had said, Come
home as early as you can after school;
I'll have some fresh cookies for you
| and you can have q rest and bite
before starting to play again; you are
not gaining weight as fast as you
| ought, II you are to play ball next
season; I'll have the cookies ready"
that would seem reasonable and right,
probably, and he would be inclined to
get home promptly
This principle of reason in obedience
follows all through our association
with children. Give them something
to 60 on when asking for cooperation
and obedience. Give their reason a
chance to judge so that they do not
feel themselves bound and fettered by
authority. Make obedience and CO.
operation profitable for them in all
possible ways. With little children
material ways must be used. With
adolescents some spiritual rewards are
| possible.
1t is not enough to issue commands
from the heights. Not if one really
wants the child to 40 what Is right
and best for him to do. Give him
the reason. Give him something he
feels worth his paying for in terms Of
self-oontrol and self-discipline. and
he will agree. Obedience that does not
count on aid from the childs intelli-
gence will not help him past the
infant stage. Tell them what for

By Slow
Degrees
Oil and Cream Is by
Far the Safest Way
to BrOnzed Beauty.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A S I told you yesterday, it's pretty
4 a much a matter Of personal pref
erence, this question of whether to
tan or not, with fashion favoring very
light tan variety if any tan at all.
There are those who can carry the
tan off beautifully, and for them the
mellow tans are lovely indeed There
are others to whom tan is liability
rather than an asset-it is aging, it
is ugly or it robs them of certain
amount Of romantic glamour.
We cannot deny the fact that the
sun dries the natural oils Of the skin,
it makes the skin look coarse and thick
and parched: it adds wrinkles and
emphasizes lines. Which means that
any one who has signs Of age to fear
has suntan to fear. too As a general
rule, would say that for women over
35 or 40, too prolonged tanning is
hardly desirable.
The delicate, fragile, dry skin suffers
most from exposure to the sun, and

this type it should be done in slow

riding over the countryside, neatly

pretzels. But 1t is safe to say that
the poultry industry will sit up and
take notice-and get up petition for
more big holidays in picnic time.
THE Bureau of Home Economics Of
the United States Department
Of Agriculture has several suggestions
to offer the attentive shopper before
she wends her way to the pre-holiday
markets. They believe that the more
she knows the better she buys. Here
Is what they say:
The first point to consider in shop

Is for six. you'll need 4 pounds Of
fryers dressed, not drawn weight
that is. two 2-pounders. This allows
for the weight loss in preparing the
bird for cooking
1T you are buying the chicken live

losing 80 per cent or more of its
weight between the time when it was
strutting up and down the poultry
yard and the time when you put the
pieces into the frying pan. In other

THERE is lot more to sailing than
wearing the right clothes, we have
discovered There is an elaborate eti-
quette linking this sport with yacht
clubs up and down the coast and if
you are invited to 60 aboard a
yacht for the first time, study up
on all those nautical terms like fore
and aft and be sure to go below
instead of down stairs" unless you
don't mind the amused smiles of
those in the know Always allow
the captain to precede you in going
aboard as he is the host and eX-
poets to greet the guests as they
come aboard. For the same reason
he is the last one to leave in going
ashore. Flags have a language all
their own, such as "owner aboard
owner absent from ship" guest
aboard" and there is even a signal
when the owner is at meals, as a
warning to other craft to keep far
enough away so that the backwash
will not rock the ship unduly and
spill the captains coffee into his
saucer!
OF A much more informal nature is
the new craze for fold-boats which
originated some years ago in Eu-
rope and is now making its appear
ance in this country. A New ;ngland
railroad is running special holiday
trains up from New York City and
furnishing these small rubberized
canvas folding boats, which are rented
to the passengers and used on he
Housatonic River which is at the
terminus of the trip
These little boats hold two people
and are propelled by double paddles
and are practically unsinkable be-
cause of the two alright tanks that
keep them af1oat. They are fun to
paddle and may even be used to shoot
the rapids, as there is so little hken-
| hood of upsetting
The fold-boater will want to travel
light for one days outing, carrying
not one ounce more luggage than
necessary. If she sets out from
town, a coat dress that she might
wear over her bathing suit and slip
off when she arrives, would be a good
suggestion. Culottes and shirt would
be another good outfit. If she owns
| her own boat and stays at the shore
| week ends, slacks and shirt are the
best things to wear.
Five hundred thousand of these
boats are said to be in use in Europe
and the fact that 1000 are reported
owned by New Workers alone indi-
Gates that there is a growing appre-
citation Of this new sport. When you
can fold up your boat and take it
along with you as easily as this, you
can choose your own river for pad
ding and do a little exploring on
your own that should prove pretty
popular for week end jaunts to COM
paratively nearby places.

One Is Slipped
 Over On Farley;
 He Doubles Back
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 26. The Senate, ill one of it's rare moods of indignation, administered a mild spanking to Postmaster General Farley day or so back without anyone knowing much about it ex- cept MT. Farley and his postal hands.
 The Senate Postoffice Committee had been struggling for months with a star route mail contract bill without making much headway. A star route is one of those mail routes in which the mail carrier may earn part of his living by also carrying express, freight, an occas- ional passenger and pound of but ter to residents along the way.
 There are 11,000 such routes, mostly far out in the country dis tricts, and fourth of them expire each year. For some years past they have been opened to compe- IiIive piuuihS cdCi ehiS, puo biiS House and Senate Postal commit tees got the idea that it would be well should the Postoffice Depart ment keep a good contractor on the job for longer than the usual four years. So bill was drafted permitting acceptable star route contractors to keep their contracts without competitive bidding.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-05-26
PATRONAGE TRICK?

Farley was against it, and so were most of his appointive employees, but a committee of permanent, ir- removable civil service employees said it would create better spirit among the contractors. They would supply better trucks, give more ex- pensive service for the money, etc.
 There was plenty of argument on the other side, about the need of opening all government contracts to public bidding, and all in all it held the bill on the Senate calendar until a day before this years group of contracts was to be let.
 It happened that this years group covered the New England, and North Atlantic States and Senators from these states were all set to push the bill through to permit the old con- tractors to stay on the job. But just as the bill was heading for passage, word came from the Post office Department that a little de- lay wouldn't make any difference, so the bill was allowed to rest over the weekend.
 But no sooner had the bill been skipped over than the Postoffice Department began letting contracts to the low bidders. Angry New England Senators pointed out that this years crop was the last of the Hoover administration contractors and it looked like a patronage trick to get them out.
 SENATE RETURNS FIRE
 At the very next morning, the Senate redrafted the bill to provide that these New England contractors should be permitted to retain their contracts, regardless of competitive bidding. The bill passed 50 to 24, with more Democrats than Repub licans on the winning side.
 Even Senators who had opposed the principle of the bill supported the amendment to give this years crop of contractors the benefit of the legislation
