RAISING A FAMILY
When Little Johnny Is King, He Hates To Abdicate Throne
 In Favor Of The New Baby
By Olive Roberts Barton

clysm were a passing one, but you see it 1t isn't; not when real dis. illusionment occurs. I believe that much puzzling conduct irl~ young children, as well as selfish, defiant and maladjusted attitudes through out growing years, and even into maturity, is c result of wrong hand- ling when new baby is added to the household.
 Every little child can be condi- tioned to expect newcomer. Not in Q teasing way, for this is sheer cruelty, but soberly and intimate. ly. He can be told very early that some day he will have nice little brother or sister to keep him cora- pany. He can watch the layette be- ing gathered together. His own en- thusiasm can be gradually distilled, until he begins to look forward to the event with anticipation rather than apprehension. The new baby will be his responsibility and his friend.
 This goes only so far, of course, SO there's is something less to be done. There should be no abrupt change in his status with his par ents. At the very first, when feel ings are tender and the heart aches just a little, he should be shown that he Is as precious as ever, even more SO. The chances are that he will test us out, try our patience for while, and all the rest. But he deserves patience. This is the time to keep his faith, to hold his con- fidence and to show him that one more child in the family doesn't affect his position in the least. When he discovers how little dif- ference 1t makes, he will accept his new relation on 0 par with him. self. He might even admire him and boast about having him at his house.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

When A. Faneuil, one of the out
standing Bostonians died. some three
thousand pairs of gloves were dis
tributed and two hundred mourning
rings were given to ministers, relatives
and lifelong friends.
Impoverished though the vast ma
jority of clergymen of that time might
have been. they were, nevertheless, al
most invariably rich in mourning
gloves and rings. During the thirty
two years in which he was pastor of
the Old North Church in Boston,
Reverend Andrew Eliot received 300
pairs of these mourning gloves.

Bear Problem
Answer
from page Serenteen)

Restating the problem, it seems
that the hunter walked three miles
due south. then five miles due east
and he was then only three miles away
from where he first started. This
would be possible only under one con-
dition - if the man had started walk
ing from the North Pole.
You can't 60 north of the North
Pole, - or east, or west; you can only
90 south If the hunter starts from the
Pole and travels three miles due
south. then no matter how far he
travels due east or due west he is no
further away from the North Pole
than the three miles he has travelled
south. And if he continues walking
due east or due west long enough he
will make a circuit of the globe and
will arrive back at the exact spot
where he shot the bear.
OF course, then. the bear must have
been polar bear. and its color was
white. The polar bear is the only kind
of bear to be found in the vicinity of
the North Pole.

CRISFIELD BASKET BALL
WILL BEGIN DECEMBER 6

Basketball, the magic word with the
majority of the sports enthusiasts, will
soon be under way in Crisfield again
and once more the rafters of the ar
mory will ring with the cheers of the
fan as the "Spedboys" take to the
floor for another season.
The "Speedboys", an aggregation
of fast-stepping basketball players
under the management of Charles
"Babe" Dryden, will be well-remem-
bered for their many thrilling perform
ances on the courts last year. Though
it was their first season as an ag-
gregation, the lads made plendid pro-
gress and came out at the close of
the wear with an enviable record.
According to present plans the sea-
son will begin on December 6 with
the "Speedboys" opening at Cam
bridge. This game is to be played at
the request of the Cambridge squad
which is opening on its home courts
that night. The request seems to in
dicate that the Cambridge officials
deem the locals about the fastest team
on the Shore.
