"Why aren't I, Mother?
Mother why aren't I talking to
you?" The voice grew more timid
and the lips could scarcely keep
from trembling.
WINGED at
Hard Anger
Because you're not my little
girl-that's why you're not talk
ing to me. You're naughty and
so I'm not your mother" And
even I WINGED at the hard anger
in the voice.
What a pity! How wrong to
be cold and hard in anger to-
ward a child. And to hold the
anger, and hold it. I've seen
parents carry on this sort Of
thing for days. And even let
their children go to bed under a
cloud.
It is not we'll to let your child
go to bed weighted down by your
anger.
Make 1t Up
Before Goodnight
No matter what the cause,
make it up with him somehow
before he goes to sleep. Whether
it is something slight or serious,
anger should be disSipated. II it
is in regard to something which
can't be cleared up as he lies in
bed, he at least can and should
be able to go to sleep with the
calmness and security that come
from the assurance of your love.
If your child is mad at you"
and whether his attitude is
justified or not, sit with him or
talk with him until the warm
feeling of closeness melts him
and he is no longer angry. The
carrying over Of a grudge or re-
sentiment can become a habit as
well as anything else, and 1t is
q habit that spells real unhappi-
ness for the one who holds ten
aciously to such feelings.
Perhaps your child is angry
with you with reason. You may
have been hasty in q decision
or unwittingly unjust. If so. it
does no harm to admit it, and q
mother who can say I'm sorry"
or Forgive me" will stand
higher with her children and
create in them a willingness to
admit their own mistakes.

By Cable to The Star.
SHANGHAI, May 3.-Increasing
friction as result of several Incl
dents between British and japanese
military forces during the past few
days is causing the British to adopt
a stronger policy toward the local
delicate situation.
Latest of a series of incidents oc-
Cured this morning at Garden Bridge,
on the boundary of the International
Settlement and leading into the Japa-
nese-controlled Hongkew and Yantze-
poo areas. Japanese sentries at the
bridge attempted to turn back Brit
1sh naval truck guarded by British
Seaforth Highlanders and carrying
British naval supplies landed at the
Whangpoo wharf from Hong Kong.
The Japanese naval sentries halted
the truck, tore up the transport per-
nit and demanded the Highlanders
turn the truck back toward the Japa-
nese military headquarters. The Brit
ish refused, shifted gears into high
and dashed across the bridge, while six
Japanese troops boarded the running
board. The Highlanders drove the
truck into the British Consulate yard
whereupon the Japanese. with fixed
bayonets, manhandled Seaforth SEN
try and sergeant.
Other members of the British unit
stationed at the British Consulate
rushed up and engaged in a fist fight
with the Japanese troops, who were
finally conducted across the bridge.
Then the diplomats got busy, protest
ing and demanding mutual apologies
and expressions of regrets.

SENATORS DEFER
GLASS BANK BILL

Requires More Study,
Virginian Says.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tuc AoooCiatcC SIeSS.
Members Of Senate banking and
currency subcommittee said today
they had agreed Unanimously" to de-
fer action for this session of Congress
on the Glass bank holding company
bill.
The action has the effect of killing
the bill unless there should be a spe-
cial session Of Congress before next
January, when the present Congress
dies. To be considered by the new
Congress, it must be reintroduced.
The measure contained provisions
which President Roosevelt recently
asked Congress to enact this session.
Senator Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia,
author Of the bill. said, however. after
the subcommittee session that he op-
posed action at this session.
Senator Glass said he did not believe
enough time remained this session to
give the question the thorough study
he considered necessary.
In a message to Congress last week,
President Roosevelt recommended leg
islation to eliminate bank holding
companies, urging gradual liquidation
OF existing firms. Senator Glass bill
does not go this far.
The Virginia Senator said a large
number of persons had indicated
desire to appear if hearings are held
on his bill, which was considered in
a closed session of Banking Sub
committee this morning.
