you will feel amply repaid for the
slight expenditure by the Joy and
pride on his round little face.
Those children who are fortunate
enough to live in houses where there
is bit of laWn-or even just back
yard" should really be encouraged
in their agricultural pursuits. They
should be given adequate garden tools,
instructions on the why's and where
fores of laying good foundation. and,
if necessary, complimentary "spad-
mg-up" by the handy man before
they start in themselves. A little di-
recton is always essential, to prevent
possible failures, which assume such
tragic proportions in childish eyes,
but don't overdo the act. The young
ster will always feel about his garden
that, though it may be poor thing, it
is definitely mine oWn'-and, no mat
ter how chubby it looks, he will still
be proud of it If he has done the
entire job himself.
TO TIDE over the period of wait
ing for the seeds to show signs of
life, he might be given few plants
to set at the edges of his plot of earth,
to keep it from looking SO barren, just
at first. Watching these thrive and
blossom will keep his interest in his
venture keen. and also give him val
liable experience in transplanting.
When his own flowers or. vegetables
begin to come up. they will be all the
prettier for the well-grown and deco
rative border about them.
Don't fail to explain the facts of
gardening-such as the best time of
day to water the beds, which plants
grow best in sun or shade, how to work
in fertilizer, how to keep blooms picked
off so that the plant does not go to
seed too quickly-and all the other
bits of necessary information that will
help him along. But don't plan his
garden-let him do that. Let him de-
eide his color schemes, the designs OF
the beds and the choice of flowers.
All forethought and planning of this
type do much towards training child
to approach a job with system and
confidence.
Also, such a little patch of bloom
will develop his sense of pride in the
appearance of his home, and impress
him forever with the need Of making
his surroundings-no matter how
small-as beautiful as possible. While
he works in the sun and fresh air,
gaining in health and strength after
the Winters confinement, he will also
be gaining in those qualities that later
on stamp him as good neighbor and
good citizen.
Too much to expect from a child's
whim for gardening? don't think so.

OOoCPlAlllG 11CllpllIl, ldulO WIlU
became so absorbed in the story back
Of tea drinking that she even jour-
neyed far into the dreamy East" to
study its growth, its origin and its
history as beverage.
Driven by an unremitting wander
lust, Miss Hemphill visited plantations
and factories in all the tea countries
China, Japan. Ceylon. India. She
delved into the legendary history OF
each land, asked countless questions
about the origin and secret of tea,
and returned to America with many
conflicting tales OF its true birth
place.
"In Japan" she says, Il watched
native women in kimonos and the
Japanese version of sunbonnet pick
the tea by hand, or with scissors
fastened to big sacks" Here three
or four good crops Of tea are harvested
each year-enough to rank Japan
among the great tea producing coun-
tries of the world IF you will
consult the very earliest history" the
Japanese told her, you will learn
that the tea plant is native to
Japan"
Il was informed in China" she
continued, that the true history Of
tea is hidden in the 'mists of an
tiquity' - Chinese antiquity" The
Emperor, Chin-nung, who ruled China
2,700 years before Christ, stated ::
Tea is better than wine, for it leadeth
not to intoxication, neither doth it
cause a man to say foolish things
and repent thereof in his sober mo-
ments."
Chin-nung, so legend runs, discov-
cred tea while cooking his supper
over a fire made of branches of the
tea plant. Accidentally some of the
leaves fell into a dish of boiling water
and produced the first pot Of tea.
According to a South Indian tale,
to a nine-year vigil contemplating
Buddha In extreme anger as he be-
came drowsy, he cut of his dropping
eyelids and threw them to the ground.
On the spot where they fell grew two
tea bushes. He tasted the leaves of the
"heaven-sent bushes" and was so stim-
ulated that he could carry on his pray
ers for another year.
Realizing that the origin Of tea is
certainly veiled in the ''mists Of an
tiquity," Miss Hemphill states, Il am
inclined to agree with Agnes Repplier,
author Of To Think of Tea! who says,
Its history and traditions are indis-
putably Chinese the drink is
China's child, and China's inspira-
ton"
PUT now, back in Washington. Jo-
sephine Hemphill writes radio
continuity for the Department of Ag-
riculture. Young, vivacious, and full
OF adventure, she finds the subject Of
foods and food habits a never-ending
source Of interest, even excitement.
The elusive secret Of tea is, of course,
fascinating, but there are other more
practical home economics problems for
which solutions have worked out by
the Federal scientists and economists.
Miss Hemphill reports the scientific
findings to rural women.
An unseen audience in and around
California knows little of the slender,
attractive, dark-haired girl who sits
in her office looking out toward the
Washington Monument as she writes
programs for the Pacific networks of

Wise to Indulge Childish Whm for Gardening Possible
The Old Gardener Saws:

The Scarboro lily (Vallota) is
a curious plant. There is only
one species, and 1t apparently
never throws spores or hybrid!zes
with Other lowers OF the same
color. It is a particularly good
plant to grow on the porch. It
requires but little attention, the
bulbs not being divided oftener
than once in three or four years.
The tops of the bulbs should be
set level with the surface of. the
soil. A start may be made with
one bulb in a 3-inch pot. The
plant Is readily Wintered in any
light room il given q little water
occasionally. Unfortunately, the
bulbs are now hard to obtain, al
though formerly they were very
common.

Don't tell me lie like that. OF
course you did. You know you did.
What do you want to lie like that
for?"

or I'll spank you we'll. Hurry up. Out
with it. You did it. Say So"
mo. 1t wasn't me-
you internal little liar. I'll teach
you not to tell me lies"
Who is to teach father what he
does not know? Such behavior on
his part betrays his vast ignorance
OF child's mind and behavior He
knew that the child had marked the
wall Then why did he ask him in
threatening tones If he had done it?
He opened the door for lie, suggested
that way out to the frightened child.
The lie was fathers lie, suggested
and fostered by him. Then he spanked
the child for it and taught him that
he could expect threats, unsympathetic
attitudes and punishment from him
whenever he made mistake.
A child of has no concept Of truth
for truths sake. That is concept
of matured mind and spirit. 1t
comes late to most of us. There are
some Of us to whom it never comes.
1t is too much to expect of a little
child. Truth-tellins must be made
beautiful, rewarding. before he can
be expected to practice it much, espe-
cially in the face of fear. A fright
ened child has lost his grip on his
mind and must fall back on his in
stinct for Representation. The lie
then is inevitable The sure child,
the one secure in his faith in his peo-
pie, is much more able to see and
tell the truth. Give him that chance
at least.
The defensive lie is only one variety
of childish lying, If lying is what you
call it, Children under years OF age
have little Of the clear-mindedness Of
the later years. Their thinking is
vague They merge dreams with
actuality in their thinking, not will
fully, but naturally. There are oc-
casions when they cannot separate the
actual happening from the stream of
imaginative thinking that carried it
through consciousness. To get the
matter straight one often has to say
mo. This is what happened" and
tell the story in short, clear sentences.
To frighten a child who shows this
state of confusion is to kill even his
desire to find the truth.
Go gently with this trait OF child
hood. Listen. Try to find what
moved the child to the wrong ex-
preston. Set the stage for truth by
gentleness, by faith in the child's
fundamental honesty, by patient list
ening and more patient correction.
Don't shout; don't threaten; don't
foam at the mouth about it. Wait.
Waiting for a time to .elapse after
child has told the wrong story
helps. 1t gives his mind a chance
to clear things up. If he is not fright
ened he will very likely respond to
second question or statement from you,
suggesting the truth. Much depends
upon the parental attitude here as in
many other phases of child training.
Mr.. Patri will give personal atten-
ton to inquiries from parents and
school teachers on the care and de-
velopment of children. Write him in
