 Rock Garden

 If you can add 8 tiny lily pool, charming! A tub of water set in the earth will do.

WOMAN,S REALM
BABLklHIU
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

The way to make a child co1fl- dent is to let him do things for him. self.
 It not only makes him more self reliant. but tends to decrease fear and inferiority.
 Guide him and train him to do things a little better each time he tries; but 1t is wisdom indeed to do this without breaking down his as- surance by criticism.
 Little Harry has dressed himself and put his shoes on the wrong feet, perhaps. Well then, for illus tration of the point in question, be a little excited and pleased over his performance at first and let him walk about for awhile, if he can, with them just as they are.
 When his hunger for praise has drunk its fill and things settle back to normal, then take him in your lap and say, Darling, I think maybe you'd be more comfortable if you took this shoe of and put it on the other foot, and change the other one too. Feet get accustomed to certain shoes and they don't like strangers" Then, if you can, show him by marks which is which.
 He won't mind. He will be very interested. And next time, or the next after, he'll get them right.
 He'll Strive to Please To continue this homely little example, two things make 1t im- portant to Harry to do better. The first is to please us, or to please his feet, and the second is that it feels better when done the right way.
 This Is typical of everything the child is struggling to learn. Things done better always have these two appeals, whether it be pulling on shoes, learning to play ball, or learn ing French verbs. It continues to be true long after the school stage is past. We need praise until we die or we will settle back and for get to make effort.
 But should Q child always be praised2 If he gets applause for only half a try will he ever be ambitious? Won't he learn to re- sent all correction? And be satis- fled with half-hearted work? Indeed yes. All these problems are serious ones because we have to seek 8 balance of power. We can ruin effort by criticism, but s,,n a,, y.asi,A Syr,,s xx,ttt, ,,,, s, ra approval.
 Avoid Unmerited Praise
 The best that any parent, or teacher, can do is to carefully en- courage a fearful or sensitive child as far as it is constructing" his confidence. The surer child won't be 50 destroyed by Encouragement. All children should have to earn praise, but we must learn to tell honest effort from lazy blundering, and look hard at that effort rather than the perfection of results.
 The quick child, however, often gets more than a fair average of rebuke. Let him make just one mistake, and everyone is shocked. We are creating 8 standard for him that he can't quite live up to and this may start trouble. Noth- ing is so hard to live up to as 8 reputation for ability. The smart child can easily lose faith in him. self.
 Let all children try new things and do> tasks just Q little bit be- yond them sometimes. By this they expand and learn. But praise and censorship must be fairly divided. Copyright, 1897, NEA Service, Incl

 face in artificial measles. If he hated an appointment, he broke it. If he couldn't meet a debt, he ignor- ed it. All the responsibility rested O.. her. After a while, love being quite dead, she divorced him.
 Then another man wanted to marry her, one whom she describes a.s a "rock of ages sort of person." She said no. She could no longer giv, herself spontaneously. She C )uldn't lean. The years had giv- en Ter a sturdy strength and 8 great fear.
 Two WOmen's Problem
 An anonymous woman, writing in "Thc New York Woman" presents the pictures of marriage in the life of lie same woman, two pictures tl.at are typical of the experience that thousands of their sisters are having in the brave, free day that now mas dawned for all of Eyes curly-headed (thanks to synthetic arts) daughters.
 In her new book, "The Road to Needless" Dorothy Spears, the au- t.--r 4nd opera singer, has as pro. tagonist girl who still thinks you cal ouy a nice pound of love at the delicatessen, only to discover that her husband didn't intend to spend al his coins for marital happiness. His money, his time, his lights O love had always been his own busi- n ass. He wanted to annex a wife and her love--and continue with tho prerogatives of the free.
 Nearly every girl has to love that type uf man at sometime or other" Miss Speare comments, in speaking of her heroine.
 Awakening Inevitable
 Men. They are the motivaing subject of a woman's dreams and jobs and hats and facials. She will bake his favorite pie-and keep pendence and pray that man stamps as he walks across her. She will bake his facorite pie-and keep it warm for seven hours. She will pay the rent and the grocer while he goes off fishing with the boys and his own salary check.
 Yes, she will-for certain length Of time! Then, though she may pray to the God of Golden throne for grac and patience, though she may lecture herself that she must school her heart, day comes when the spell is broken and she awakens as surely as did the princess who let a hundred dusty years blow by.
 After all, if more men today. than ev.r before, want to have their cake and eat it, too, it is because women suggested the possibility. They have let men get away with 1t.
 And listen!
 t is women who write the stories, the books, the confessionals which deal with the feminine sacrifl- ces. Men seldom launch a deluge of words against unreasonable females. Perhaps if they did their stol les would make the women SIulsIu WlLLl SUIilc oliOW OA tAlC NAo- conf ,rt the maligned sex is endur- ing.
 Remember, too, in the great al.g. ..ment, that 1t seems to be the metropolitan man who is under criticism. The great army of loyal, hoc, -makinG, understanding men are forgotten.

As the once blond loveliness of Jean Muir has been transformed to more somber type of beauty, as revealed at left and above, so, too, have her fortunes under. gone g striking change.

 It is said the story isn't merely one of life behind the stone walls of the Paciflc-washed prison. There's plenty of action on the mainland, both before and after the protag- onist-one Cat Brady, played by John Litel--is confined for income tax evasion.
 When he is imprisoned for income tax evasion, his one wish is to get out as soon as his term is up to rejoin his daughter, now in ,love with a district attorney, (Gordon Oliver) and his own sweetheart (Ann Sheridan).

STATE

Spread across a, background of breath taking scenic splendor of the great North Woods, the love story of dashing army officer and a simple woods girl comes to the screen of Warner Brothers State theater. tomorrow when the pictur- ization of Rex Beachs famous nov- el "The Barrier" begins three-day engagement.
 Tn the splendid cast are such fa- vorites as Leo Carillo, Jean Parker, James Ellison, Otto Kruger, Robert Barrat and Andy Deyine.
 The action of the picture is built around the love story of James El- lison and Jean Parker. Miss Park \ CT is the daughter of Robert Barrat, who runs @ trading post with his Indian wife (Sara Haden). Ellison is the lieutenant in charge of an army post in the same district. The two meet and fall in love, although both of them are afraid that Miss Parker;s Indian blood will prevent their marriage.
 Leo Carillo, a trapper, is also in love with Miss Parker, but keeps si- lent when he sees that she loves the army officer. He tries to dissaude Barrat when the trader wants to break up the romance, but the lov- CTS are finally separated. Finally the dying confession of a criminal lotto Kruger) reveals that Jean is not half-1ndian, but is the daugh- ter of prospectors wife. Barrat had carried the child off years be- fore, and raised her as his own daughter.
 l Leo Carrillo creates one of the most striking characterizations of his long list of successful roles in the part of Poleon, the French Ca nadian trapper. His charm and vi- tality make the Canuck seem a liv- ing person. Jean Parker, who was SO successful in another great out door picture, "Sequoia," tops all her previous performances in "The Bar rier."
 "The Barrier" offers the most im- portant role James Ellison has had on the screen. He has played in the "Hopalong Cassidy" pictures, and he enacted the part of Buffalo Bill in "The Plainsman," but this film offers him a far richer role than any other he has had.
 The companion feature will be Expensive Husbands", a clever TO- mantle comedy with Patric Knowles, Beverly Roberts and Allyn Joslyn in the loading roles. t
