There is usually that immediate something to step in and say, Here, here, do attend to me. am as im- portant as orders. Try me. Forget law. You have a right to live. You can't always jump at a word. Be- sides, your parents don't know what it's all about. They don't under stand you So break over just this once. Do."
 As the years pass, children should learn how to leave the urge of the moment and stop short of cataS- trophe. But growing child won't know all this.
 Easily Side-Tracked
 He gets interested in his engine and track, and forgets time. He is called and won't go. He is told to put his things away and doesn't hear. He says, I'm coming, nom, D and hasn't any idea that he has spoken.
 Absorbing interest in early child hood is the greatest foe of quick obedience, although interest is our fast friend in almost everything else.
 Another thing is impulse. All children are filled with a generator that sends electric sparks to the finger tips.
 This is so far from a crime that I have to repeat my warning against misunderstanding. The child has been forbidden to climb a ladder, but with boiling, driving curiosity urging him on, he cannot be ex- pected always to hear the still small voice of conscience, and up he chambers. He may even know that he is in for it, but he figures very often that the game is worth the candle. In older people we call it weakness, this lack of strength to resist temptation, but in children it isn't quite that. It is temptation, yes, but with more excuse. Desire is frequently synonymous with will in early years.
 Consider Child's Impulses
 Then there are the accidents to which childhood is vulnerable. We call it carelessness, and so it is, but to "care" means a certain know ledge that children lack. Why should Jack care too much about the glove he left lying around for Sport tc chew?
 He does know, vaguely, because he has been told, but HE did moi have to work hard for the dollars to buy the gloves. He won't figure out that part of days work fol daddy is the price, or that mother must do without a new pair oi stockiIfes to replace the lost article

IMPULSE
 SHOULD BE GUIDED
By Olive Roberts Barton

Baby does not know that the ink bottle will ruin the rug. The nice big black spot doesn't make him feel one bit sad. He is astoniShed to see mother sit down and cry. Thus it goes. Accident cannot always be punished for its worth; careless ness is a matter of age. But when does man cease to be careless? 1m- pulse is matter of learning and experimenting, the very foundation of expanding life. All three are of ten misunderstood by the best of parents. but all three should be considered soberly in this matter of discipline and punishment.

Broke Pledge;
 Goes To Jail

Failure to keep a pledge
 which he took several months
 ago brought a heavy penalty in
 city court today to James O'Connor, local resident. The last time he was in court O'Connor agreed to take a
 pledge not to drink for six
 months. At that time, Judge Edward MascolO warned him that he would be dealt with severely if he broke the pledge
 and imposed a suspended three month sentence.
 Yesterday O'Connor was ar- rested on charges of drunken ness and breach of the peace. This morning Judge Mascolo
 revoked the suspension of the former three-month jail sen- tence, imposed penalties of 30 days in jail for intoxication
 and two months in jail for
 breach of the peace on the new counts.

NO ALTITUDE RECORDS FOR
 CENTERpIECE
By JOAN DURHAM AP Feature Service Writer

If you want to be sure your Chrst- mas dinner table is properly ap- ocinted, set it before you start out Q enjoy the Christmas Eve festivit- ies.
 Get out your best tablecloth and place it so the center crease runs exactly down the middle of the table If possible, arrange it so that it hangs ten or twelve inches over the edge of the table. Dinnersize nepkins-twenty seven inch e s squaTe-should match it.
 Above Eye Level
 Don't let your enthusiasm for holi- day centerpieces run away with you. If the one you've prepared is SC high people cant see ever it when they're seated. either take out the tall sections or remove the center piece altogether If you use candles, be sure the flames are well above eye level so they won't glare in your guests eyes.

 Knives and spoons go to the right of each cover, forks to the left The pieces of silver to be used first are on the outside, those to be used last nearest the plate. Knives are closest to the plate on the right-with spoons on the outside.
 There are two exceptions to the silverware spreader. Bread and but ter plates are never placed on formal tables. When they are used on semi fClnal tables, however, they go just above the forks at the left of the cover. The butter spreaoer is placed slantwise across the right rim of each butter plate, the sharper edge turned away from the center of the table.
 It's a good idea to bring dessert fcrks and spoons and coffee spoons to the table when you serve desseri and coffee. If you have coffee during the meal you'll want large cups and teaspoons. But if you wait untii the end of the meal you may serve small (demi-tasse) cups with coffee spoons to go with them
