The next time your child de
serves a rebuke why not say 10
Yourself. If I were the KIND OF
parent I ought to be, maybe my
child would have acted different
"" You will then temper your
correction with justice instead OF
rerating him numerically for
some deed born Of his lack oil
knowledge and experience.
If you're the owner OF buSl-
ness or the head of a department,
and your employees Shirk and
loaf and refuse to give you the
enthusiastic cooperation, why not
try something new. Why not say:
IF I were the kind of boss l ought
to be. I might get the cooperation
I desire" In any distressing Incl
dent. let's cultivate the habit OF
examining our own faults before
we condemn Others.
Robert Browning said: When a
mans fight begins with himself, he
is worth something"
When is a man old? One of the
best definitions of age l have
ever heard is this: A man is old
when he thinks and tells of what
he has done instead of what he is
going 10 do.
DR.. John Harvey Kellogg, who
runs the Miami Battle Creek San
itarium in Miami Springs. Florida
is one of the most astonishing
men have ever known. Eighty
seven years old. yet he is not
talking sabout what he has done
or complaining about hard times
or talking about the fact that the
younger generation is going to the
dogs. No sir. At eighty-seven
DR.. Kellogg is constantly talking
about what he is going to do. He
works sixteen hours day. He
edits monthly magazine; he is
writing three books; and he keeps
three secretaries busy He is plan
ming many things: to enlarge the
facilities OF the massage depart
ment of the Sanitarium; an addl-
ton to the main building; and the
building of a swimming pool.
I went driving with DR.. Kellogg
the last time I was in Miami What
&c you suppose he talked about:
His troubles? His activities? No
He devoted half an hour to dis
cussing the falling birth rate ol
the white race. Recently. he wrote
magazine article entitled
Heading For the Last Census.
He fears that the white race il
doomed unless the falling birth
rate is arrested.
AS I have already said, DR. Johr
Harvey kellogg is within tho
shadow Of four score years and
ten. and yet he is young mentally
because he is looking forward and
not backward. That mental atti-
tude probably has lot to do with
his physical condition.

CAROLINE CHATF|ELD SAYS TODAY:
SoIomon's Pen Pictures Of The
Good Wife as Modem as High Hair-do

In these times there's no dirth of
information, education, advice, coun-
sci and guidance to the young peo-
pie on the subject of happy mar
riage. While nothing has been ad-
ded to the wisdom of Solomon, the
wisdom is being served up in pill
doses for subway readers; in des-
sert dishes for the leisure ladies
that can linger over their printed
pages; also it is being spoon-fed
to college students out of textbooks
in lecture classes.
The modern wife can't excuse her.
self for a washed up marriage on
the ground that she was ignorant
of men and wedlock, nor on the
ground that nobody told her what
to expect and how to behave when
she didn't get it. Everybody is tell
ing her. While in olden days she
had to read her Bible and sit in
the pew for the preacher to eX-
pound it, in order to know what
was required of the good wife,
she can now pick up the morning
paper and while she's drinking her
coffee read the review of the lat
est book which describes Twelve
Ways to Happy Marriage"
Solomon said it first when he
put the responsibility for happy
marriage largely on the wife and
remarked that husband who pick
ed a good one wouldn't take a mil
lion for her, though he measured
the price in terms of rubies rather
than in dollars. And he told us
what good one was too; deScrib-
ing her as being we'll groomed and
well dressed, a fine housekeeper;
a hard worker, practical, economi-
cal, provident and charitable-a
woman to be proud of.
While his picture of the ideal
wife was distinctly on the distaff
side he evidently approved of her
turning an honest penny and max
ing investments Separate from hel
husband with the pin money. H,
suggested that real estate was {
safe investment and thought whei
she'd bought the lot she shoult
raise some foodstuffs-fruit per
haps.
Solomon set great store by tn
fact that the good wife woul'
never let her husband down; neve

WAR SCARE COSTS GIVE IDEA OF
WHAT EXPENSE REAL WAR
WOULD BE
(ViSalia Times-Delta)

. (VlSalla 1lmeS-Delta)
The United States go off easy with
the costs of her recent War With Mars,
when they are compared with what it
cost Great Britain to prepare for Cham
berlan's visit to Hitler, according to Of
ficial estimates.
Some idea of the expense of playing
with military adventures is given by
these estimates of the cost to Britain of
that scare.
British authorities estimate losses in
trade and revenue during the period at
5000, 900, 900. Cost of military and naval
construction was not less than S70,000,-
900. About 100000 gas masks were dis
tributed at half-crown each, loss of
roughly S25,000,000 more. At least $15,-
100000 was spent for sandbags, and not
less than S5,000,000 in preparations to
evacuate school children from congested
areas.
All that is we'll over $3O0000,000. In
addition, hundreds of shops closed in a
business slump the like of which has
not been seen since 1914. Next year this
loss of business will be reflected in the
budget figures, and the governments in
come. Countless personal losses add to
the toll of the war that was not war
Now add to this a similar cost to France
and Germany, and lesser losses to other
countries involved. And you can guess,
this being the cost Of mere scare, the
price Of the next war.

for common sense, for being a good
conversationalist and entertainer
saying something every time she
opened her mouth yet always in
kindly spirit. More points for
holding her husband with light
rein.
She was not a milestone about
his neck, nor clinging vine nor
henpecker. She attended to her
job and was perfectly willing for
her husband to go out and visit
with his friends. There weren't any
clubs in those days SO the men
foregathered by the city gates to
have their confabS. 1t was under
stood in the community that her
husband was among those present
when the roll was called.
OF course the good Wife'S last
days were better than the first
having made a shining success of
her life. Her husband adored her
and the children followed suit.
Why not? She'd worked hard to
make her marriage a success, been
a good companion to her husband,
made him believe in himself, helped
him to get ahead. Consequently
the home life had been happy and
husband and children gave her
credit which is all any woman asks
of life when final accounting is
made.

Persons born on this day are apt

they may be raised to a high pitch
of excitement. They enjoy their

suing what interests them, not

would not knowingly wrong any

Butchers Last Column i.
go For COIuDinist
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WESTINGHOUSE it's a third
term, is it?
Or isn't it?
Well. thank heaven, that's set
tied. Or. at least it seemed TO be
settled the morning of Nov 8, when
nearly everyone whose views ap-
peared in print said the election
results had buried all possibilities
of a Roosevelt third term or even
a third term nomination.
No one in Mr. Roosevelt's place,
it was said, would be such a fool
as to think of trying for another
denomination after what had just
happened. and the sooner he re-
nounced the idea publicly, the bet
ter for all
Secretary Ickes was first to crawl
from under the debris and an
nounce he could still notice third
term possibilities flickering on the
far horizon
Later Governor Murphy of Michi-
gan declared the question ought to
be left open" and Senator Norris
of Nebraska said he doesn't like
third terms but could manage TO
stand one for Roosevelt
That seemed to indicate where
the New Dealers stood, as might
have been expected.
Quite unexpected was the sub
sequent flat assertion of Business
Week. a magazine as conservative
as its name implies:
denomination of Franklin RooSe-
velt is far more likely as result
of the election Roosevelt can
not transmit his strength to others
he is only overwhelming when
he is running himself"
This plus Democratic losses, the
magazine reported, would lessen
third-term prejudice among many
practical Democrats previously IA
vorable to other candidates.
Again unexpectedly, Publisher
Frank E. Gannett, who has led
some of the bitterest and most
successful battles against Roosevelt
proposals, says he things it's more
certain than ever" that Roosevelt
will seek reelection in 1910. Gan
nett is inclined to believe he will
Win"
Reports are getting around that
Roosevelt has told certain persons
he won't run again. But some OF
his closest associates are sure they'll
be begging him to accept renomina-
ton in 1910 and that he will heed
their pleas.

Probably no one will ever know,
but it's possible a majority of the
Supreme Court favored review of
the Tom Mooney case despite the
courts formal refusal to reconsider
its previous refusal to grant writ
of certiorari.
Justices Reed and Black dissented
from the original refusal to grant
the petition of Attorneys John H.
Finerty and George T.. Davis. But
it was announced they took no part
in consideration of the second appli-
cation, which meant six justices
made the decision.
They may have been unanimous
or they may have split three to
three, in which case reconsideration
would still have been refused for
lack of favorable majority among
those voting. The point is: no one
knows.
Some effort will be made for
legislation requiring the court to
grant certiorari in any case where
at least two justices think writ
should issue, and requiring the
court to give its reasons for refusal
when important constitutional QueS-
tiOnS are involved.
Prospective sponsors of the bill
are none too hopeful.
