need TO be spanked, or because you
are taking out your own nerves and
temper on the defenseless little crea-

Are you pals with your children, or
strangers with whom they will never
get acquainted or have free con-
versation as long as they live? Are
you one of the men who are so busy
making money to give their children
what they call advantages that they
never have time to give them the
greatest advantage of all and that is
being friends with their father? Do
you ever have pillow fights with your
children? Do you ever take them off
for little outing without their mother
so that you can have real talks to-
gether and find out what is in their
little minds?
Are you one of the mothers who turn
over the children to servants to rear
because you are too busy with clubs
and social engagements to bother with
troublesome youngsters and who Won
der when children grow up why they
are so lacking in affection and so I'M
like what you expected them to be?

send the children out on the street
to keep them from tracking up the

who are playmates and friends and
confldantes to the children. and make

Are you fitting your children for

they will be going out on their own

for the conflict. Have you taught
them to control their passions and
their appetites? Have you taught
them good manners? Have you bred
in them strength and courage and the
| grit that struggles on until it wrests
victory out of defeat? Have you
taught them by precept and example
to be truthful and honest and loyal?
Have you instiiled into them habits
of industry and thrift.
If you have, you have sent out a
conqueror. If you have not. you have
doomed the unfortunate little creature
that was committed to your care to a
lifetime of misery and despair.
For who are the murdererS except

It's conflict betWeen friends ana
family.
OUR harassed friends with jobs or
~ babies or housework on their
hands are getting pretty fed up with
their orchid sisters who never seem to
have to lift hand to anything but q
telephone. One mother and housewife,
who takes her jobs very seriously, tells
us that her best friend is her chief
worry. Her best friend has neither
children nor housework, nor job. And
every morning at about 10 o'clock she
calls up our busy young housewife
for an hours chat.
If the housewife hangs up, saying
that the baby is in the soup, or the
pudding is scorching, her girl friend
is hurt and thinks she has been pur-
posely snubbed. She starts calling
up at half-hour intervals thereafter
to try to find out what she has done
to make her friend mad at her
It's driving every one crazy. Includ-
ing us, who Just have to hear about it..
Maybe the housewife should just give
it all up and find a buster friend.
Leisure and work just can't be pals.
That's all there is to it. JEAN. r

The Old Gardener Says:

Too shallow planting IS often
a cause of failure with tulips.
On light land there should be
about S inches Of soil above the
tops of the bulbs; on heavy
ground a depth of 3 to 4 inches
will be sufficient. Plant the bulbs
6 inches apart. Early single kinds
are among the first to bloom.
Early double varieties flower a
few days later. The new Tri-
umph tulips form a link between
early single and May-f1owering
sorts. thus affording succession
of bloom. The large, tall-stemmed
flowers are strongly recommend
ed for bedding. Following come
the magnificent late-f1owering
Darwin tulips, which give a glo-
rious display in the Spring. Tulip
bulbs will soon be here, and plant
ing can be continued into No
vember.

An appeal to j. D. Chalk, State

possibilities of the Kitty Hawk

warden. Of this city.
The Kitty Hawk woods once
abounded with deer, but in the alb
Sence Of protective game laws and
the isolation of the locality before
the advent Of roads and bridges,
the natives killed them all off.
But now that game has the pro-

forcement machinery, MI. Hobbs
thinks it would be desirable to re-
stock the Kitty Hawk woods by
introducing several doe and buck
to start. A closed season could be
