Teach a Child
To Practice
Economy
Praise Youngster
For Not Wasting
His Material.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"YoU have made terrible mess of
this room, brother. Now get busy
and clear it up. Pick up all that paper
and put it in the trash basket"
Il can't pick it all up. I'm tired.
There's too much of it. I don't want
to do it," Four-year-old brother began
to cry loudly.
~You did It. Now you Just get to
work. And be quick about 1t. too. for
this room has to be tidy before your
father comes home"
Brother began half -heartedly to pick
up bit here and there, but was MAX
ing very little Roadway. With each
scrap he gathered he walled or sobbed.
Il don't want to pick 1t up. You help
me. I'm too tired, I am" In exas-
peration his mother swooped down
upon him, shook him. ran him to his
room and told him to stay there while
she cleaned things up. This is the
last time you get paper and scissors
from me, young man. Remember
that"
Brother liked to cut pictures out Of
magazines. His mother had given
him stock of material and his scis-
sors and let him work his way with
them. He had taken q picture out of
every magazine in the stack and scat
tered them, the scraps and the cut
tings, all over the room. BY the end
Of the session he was too worn and
weary to clean up, and so the trouble
started.
When giving children material, give
them scant supply. II you seem to
be careful about it, they have the
thought that care is necessary. II your
attitude is one of sweeping generosity,
no limit to the supply, their attitude
will correspond, and they will waste
material. litter the place, and, worst
Of ali, get the idea that the process is
quite all right.
Teaching a child to waste anything
is very bad practice. He is not born
careful and thrifty and thoughtful.
Quite the other way. Yet he must
learn to conserve material, labor,
money, even his own strength. Waste

its effects to be cultivated in the slight
est degree. It is not that the materials
that we give children cost so much In
money, but that the idea Of care, con-
servation, economy, is important in its
influence on character. A child who
has no respect for materials he is
using, no RESPECT for the time and labor
he is expendng, will suffer In character
and In power.
That IS Why the teacher is 80 stingy
with paper and pensils. She holds
each child responsible for the sheet Of
paper he got, for the use he made Of It
and for the pencil she gave him last
month. She is impressing upon the
unknowing child that these things
mean something In terms of human
values and that he is not truly edu-
Gated until he appreciates such values.
When you hand a child a paper, even
q newspaper. for cutting, hand him
just one. Praise him for making good
use Of 1t. Don't give him another
until that one has been thoroughly
used and accounted for. Treat money,
clothing, books, time, anything that
he uses, in the same way, with respect
and care. If you do you help him add
q fine quality to his character. Waste |
is an abomination and trait Of the |

MY DEAR MRS. POST: My daush-

My Neighbor Says.
Before watering small seedlings

Before watering small seedlings
planted in a box in the house,
cut a piece of tissue paper large
enough to cover top Of box and
sprinkle with water until it soaks
through paper. Seedlings will not
then be washed up when watered.
Wash dress shields in lukewarm
soapy water to which a teaspoon
of baking soda has been added.
Let water come to a full roll
ing boil when poaching eggs.
Drop eggs in. turn out the gas
and the eggs will finish cooking
in the boiling water.
Two or three minutes after
you have started your gas or
electric oven, open the door for
q second or two to let out the
damp air. The oven will then
heat in a much shorter time.

In the west parlor at Mount Yer

its harmonious proportion and deco
rative detail makes us sigh for a lost
art. At Kenmore Is beautiful stair

sleep, exquisitely carved under each

fully designed and beautifully deco

upper floor with the minimum of eff
fort on your part. This is not by
chance but by intelligently studied
proportion of the height and width
Of the stair treads No wonder we
read in old novels about beautiful
ladies who floated down the stairs
with one lily white hand barely
touching the rail. There is a great
art in stair building, and most of the
men who built them in the 18th cen
fury were apprenticed to a master
for 10 or IS years before they were
considered capable of taking charge
OF the construction of an important

In New England there are also fine
examples Of the carpenters trade. At
Carpenters Hall in Boston all the
masters Of the trade gathered for their
meetings. This carpenters guild was
controlled by the most rigid rules and
regulations, consequently those who
belonged to it were superior men and
fine workmen who were proud of their
trade. They did not sit in an Office
and hire the services of lesser men,
Tor all knew the feel of chisel and a
gouge and worked with them every
day. No matter how prosperous, and
many OF them were very much so, they
were not above going out on the Job
and bringing it to q finish by their
own expert labors. That is an art
that has almost disappeared in this

SAMUEL MCINTYRE is the only
one Of these workers that we
know very much about. He lived and
died in Salem, Mass. and undoubtedly
because of his life there Salem boasts
some OF the finest houses in the State,
noted for excellent proportion and
beautiful interior detail. Salem was
a shipbuilding town and for this rea-
son was famous for It's fine carpenters
who were trained for precision and
attention to detail. But over and
above them all was McIntire who
was able, in spite Of the fact that he

YEAR MISS DIX: am in love
with girl who lives in my old
home town. Recently I went down to
see her and my people on q fve-day
leave of absence -Four Of the DAYS I
spent with the girl, and on the fifth
I went with my father on a fishing
trip that he had been planning for
some time. The trip was rather q
long one, and knew it would make
me slightly over an hour late for the
date I had with my girl, so I asked
her If she would mind, explaining that
I couldn't bear to disappoint nv
father. She got furiously angry and
accused me Of thinking more of my
parents than I did of her, insisting
that she should come first in every
thing and that had no right to ask
her to wait even an hour for me.
think lot of this girl, but do I have
to snub my parents to prove it? They
have done a lot for me and like to
have me around little bit when
go home. What do you think about
this girls attitude? DAVID.
Answer-1 think she is utterly self
iSh, and that you should be thankful
that you have found out the kind of
a girl she is before you married her
and In time to call the wedding off.
Her conduct In the matter doesn't
show love for you. Just possessiveness
and determination to boss you and
make you do her way. If you marry
her you will be one of the hen
pecked men who says Eyes. ma-am" to
his wife and who gets bawled out If
he doesn't punch the time clock on
the dot.
She will make the kind Of q wife
who separates a man from his fam
lily because she is jealous Of his love
for the mother who bore him and of
the father who has sacrificed to help
him get a start in the world. You
may not think now that it makes
much difference or you may be fool
ish enough to believe that she will
outgrow it. but it does make a lot of
difference to man when his wife
hates his family and when he can
not even go to see them without
sneaking around as If he were keep
ing a rendezvous. Furthermore, no
jealous woman ever changes. She
just gets more so and more nagging
about it.
No matter how much a man loves a
woman he still clings to his own peo-
pie If there is any loyalty or gratitude
in him. and he is never happy with a
wife who separates him from them
So my advice to you is not to marry
this girl DOROTHY DIX.
