agents had refused to let
them see their husbands or
give them any word, but the
unemployed carpenter and
his fisherman son turned up
here a short time later. Both
declined to make any state

G.IMen.
As far as was known, no
possible witnesses remained

heard nothing new.
A small yellow plane
swept low over the Federal
Bureau field office here this
morning. dropping a note
which agents picked up. The
plane came from the direc-
ton of islands to the south
and presumably brought a
message from a handful OF
men exploring there.

nels Since Wednesday

Tying up at Naval Station
pier Saturday night was Guy c.
Avery, Towne's Tampa Steam
Laundry solicitor with the 10
foot sloop he has sailed from
Tampa to Dry Tortugasg and to
Key West.
II was reported that Avery was
lost by radio message and the
owner of the yacht "Cockatoo"
said that he had sighted the
sloop wallowing apparently help
less off Marquesas. Neither re-
port was true, Mr.. Avery, young,
extremely reticent, and attired in
summer suit and straw hat this
morning, told The Citizen.
Just Sleeping
When the wind is strong Avery
sails both day and night to take
advantage of it, but when it dies
he goes below to sleep and re-
coup his rest. 1t must have been
at one of those periods when the
Cockatoo passed him, he said, saw
the sails Tapping, and no one on
deck. For Avery did not see the
Cockatoo when she went by.
As far as being lost, Avery said
that he arrived near Key West
Wednesday. but was on the inside
route north of Marquesas. He
tried first to get through Calda.

which made the trip through that
narrow, shallow channel very
near impossible. He went aground
there.
Next he tried northwest chan
mel. but found unfavorable winds
as have a number of other sailing
vessels. Finally he beat back
westward, until Key West was al
most below the horizon, when he
skirted the islands at that point
and came out into deep water on
the outside route. Here was found
the best sailing since he left Fl.
Jefferson, and coming in on a
spanking breeze Friday at $50
p. m. arrived alongside the old
Fort at Fort Taylor when the
breeze promptly died. On the
breast of a spring tide, which
flows nearly four miles an hour,
Avery and his 18-foot sloop was
swept out miles again. Finally,

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN a woman is hanging on to
her husbands arm. and he starts
tearing down the street as though he
were trying to win a marathon race
she can at least go into a dog trot
that keeps her by his side. But when
they are walking side by side, with no
linking Of arms, and the husband sud-
denly starts forging ahead at stead
lily increasing -per-minute rate, a
woman has a terrible time. She gets
left completely behind.
All of a sudden she'll say something
to the husband she thinks is beside
her. She'll hurry. whereupon he'll
pick up his pace. She'll call to him
to wait for her. and he'll wait Just
long enough so that she is two steps
behind him, and then he'll start of
again. She Just never catches up
again all through the entire walk.
It's very discouraging. Probably a
woman with husband like that
should simply never 60 walking with
him, She has every right to go walk
ing with the doorman instead. But
if she wants to 60 to the trouble
she might try to be SO very enter
tanning in her conversation that he
wants to stay within earshot of her.
1t would help. JEAN.

Better Than
Words Are
Actions
Children Follow
Example Set
By Parents.
by ANGELO PATRI.

GROWN people who have the In
terests OF children at heart keep
telling them how to be good, how
to be splendid men and women and
win the respect Of their neighbors
and be successful in every walk OF
life.
All this telling gets US very little
There Is Z limit, soon reached, to
what we can tell children. Our tell
Ing must be brief and pointed and
dramatic, and then we must let it
rest. Once the tale is told and the
point driven in, more telling weakens
the idea. Constant telling falls on
closed ears.
Ears are delicate structures. The
hearing is done in the mind after
the sounds have passed through the
instrument. The nerves of hearing
are sensitive and soon wearied. Keep
telling and the child stops listening.
Not beoause he willed to do 70, but
because his hearing mind closed tight
in protest.
There is one sort of telling that
children never weary of. never over
look. That Is our action. Instead
Of telling We show them by our BE-.
havior and they follow copy every
time. They initiate speech. copy the
very tones and infections and repeat
the words. They initiate behavior,
following every gesture, every act.
They copy our thinking and think
as we think. Our faith IL their
faith, our disbelief Is theirs a we'll,
What we do is their pattern.
We tell children to be truthful al
ways. But are we truthful always?
We tell them to be unselhsh, but
how unselfish are we who do the
telling? Often our very motive In
teaching unselfishness u selfish. Our
business methods, our daily dealings
with people. with the family, are the
children's models. Telling them Is
weak compared to what We are show.
ing them.
We do too much unnecessary tell.
ing We have the notion that chill
dren know no good save what We tell
them. That Is not 80. Children are
inherently good. They tend always
to goodness. They. II left TO their
own courses, will usually tell the
crude. truth while we will soften and
decorate and even hide it. How often
the family Is In terror OF the out
spoken, truthful child. What changes
him? Our example. We show. him
how to disguise himself, In the mis-
taken notion that. 1t Is necessary to
do 50 if he 10 to learn to cooperate
with people.
There il, In . child, spirit OF
good will helpfulness, unselfiah CIV
ing. If we allow 1t the child will
express those feelings IN his BE-
havior. We are afraid that he will
be cheated of his rights, 50 We say,
Keep your own things. He doesn't
give you his" Take your own chance.
He wouldn't give up his" We are
afraid Of prscticing the good that We
keep telling children to cultivate.
The best thing to do is to say
less and show more, What we show
Is what the child will do. Telling
Is wasteful Of the relationship Of chill

Rimless glasses then have to have
holes pierced on either side for the

way than the old-fashioned method

applause. No silk was worn. II was
easy to see that one could be smartly
dressed without silk.
The other group showed the other
side OF the picture. Five hundred
hosiery workers marched to the White
House to tell their story to the Presi-
dent. They wanted to have their Jobs
saved, they wanted the silk industry
in America protected. They protested
against the movement afoot that
would eventually leave them jobless
in order to cause embarrassment to
foreign power with which We are not
at war.
Just what would be accomplished
by private or popular boycott? In
order to become effective it would have
to include more countries than our
own and more exports from Japan
than raw silk alone. And picture the
horror that would result from a sue
cessful boycott. Before it could reach
a peak that would really be called
effective, it would first mean 100000
or more Japanese families starving
from the closing down of their only
source Of livelihood These innocent
sufferers have no voice in the mill
taristic government that is promoting
the Chinese invasion-probably do not
understand what it is all about.
To quote from an editorial appear
ing in current issue of the American
Mercury, the boycott is not humane
substitute for war, as the pacifistS
appear to regard it. On the contrary,
when brought to perfection, it is an
instrument OF war more deadly by far
than bombs or guns. and bearing
hardest on the most innocent and
helpless part Of the population"
SO, before rushing madly out to
purchase a supply of cotton or lisle
hose, just because your favorite movie
star is doing it, and some college girls
are making bonf1res and throwing in
their silk stockings. the wise woman
will stop and do bit of careful think
ing on her own over this little matter
of what kind OF new hose to wear for
spring.
