FIRST NAMES FOR PARENTS.

FIRST NAMES FOX PARENTS:
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell
whether it is improper for child
rem TO call their parents by first
names? You see, this practice Of
first names was almost unayoid-
able in our family, because our
four children were born at my
parents home. and we continued
to live there for several years after
the last child was born. They
heard every one else around them
call us Mary" and John" Our
oldest child is now fifteen. The
children speak of us as mother"
and father" to others. of course,
but they never have called US any,
thing except Mary" and John. -
We never thought thing about
this until lately, after we came
here to a new home of our own
in another town. I have become
conscious of the fact that some
of our neighbors are shocked at
hearing our children ca us by
first names. One neighscr has
even felt moved 10 ask, DO YOU
let your children speak TO you like
that >" I'm so afraid that they
feel this is situation of disre-
spect, and while we know it is not
that. it would hardly be fair to
the children to have others think
they are ill-mannered.
~ 49,
your neighbors will continue to
think your children disrespectful
if their consideration is lacking in
no other way. From a purely
sentimental standpoint, always
think il too bad not TO be called
mother and father because no one
but your children can ever have
+ the right 10 use these names.
This. however, is a matter OF con-
Germ TO none but yourselves and
your children. Moreover. I can
say this for your comfort: In the
very few cases that I have known
personally where children called
their parents by their first names.
an extraordinary degree OF under
+ standing and devotion existed. In
fact. now that ! think OF il. II
stands TO reason that children who
do not regard their parents as
intimate friends would never be so
unaware OF the formalities. This
does not mean that those called
mother and father are less COM
panionsble but merely that the
oomrsdeship of Mary and John Is
plainly eyident).

WASHINGTON-The Nat
ional Labor Relations board
said today that it was graft
fled to note signs that be-
fore another year has passed
disunity in the American
labor movement may be a
thing of the past
In its annual report TO President
Roosevelt and congress, the board
also replied TO general charges
against it. particularly complaints
that it has favored the Congress
of Industrial Organizations against
the American Federation of Labor,
and other questions figuring in the
impending battle over Wagner act
amendments.
The issue of AFL-CIO rivalry for
selection as bargaining unit came
before it in Al cases during the
fiscal year ended last June 80. The
NLRB said that it adopted the
AFL contention in 81 cases, the
Go proposal in 16, and that con-
tentions of both groups were
adopted in part in the other four
cases.
Held 1,512 Elections
The board conducted 1,512 cleo
tons between July l. 1887, and
June so, 1888, The CIO was on
the ballot in SIS elections, in which
it polled 175.s3s votes. II was
victorious in 553 test, or SIS per
cent of the number in which it
participated. The AFL polled 57,151
in the 604 elections in which its
unions took part. Federation af-
filiates won 263 of the elections, or
49, per cent. the board said
In the 312 elections involv-
ing approximately so. 900
workers in which the Go and
AFL opposed each other, the
Go won 219 of the polls and
the ALL won SO. One resulted
in a tie vote, and neither labor
union received a majority i'm
six of the contests.
The necessity for deciding such
issues as just outlined between
unions affiliated with the AFL and
unions affiliated with the CLIO has
always been distasteful to the
board, especially since their de-
cision and the decision of other
issues which have arisen because of
the split has absorbed dispropor-
tomato party OF the boards time
and energies" the report said.
However, the board has had no
alternative under the statute ex-
cept TO decide these issues when
presented.
Enormous Benefits
Despite the profound cleavage
in the labor movement. organized
labor has still been able to derive

The reports of the CAA and the
advisory committee were consid-

of the submission of the Lindbersh

announced program TO train for

enormous benefits as a result of
the great guarantees of economic
democracy embodies in the Nat
ional Labor Relations act.
"A unified labor movement would
be in even a stronger position to
enjoy the rights protected by the
statute, and the board is therefore
gratified to note that at the time
this report is being prepared there
are signs that before another year
has passed disunity in the Ameri-
can labor movement may be
thing of the past
The board said there was ten
dency of unions to resort to the
machinery of the act and the
guaranty of rights contained in it
instead of using its economic weap-
on in the form of strike.

the regular manner.
A Month Shows Results
After one month of brushing
and weekly tonic and hot oil
treatments. your hair ought to be
in much better condition for a

When you apply tonic or hot
olive oil, always part hair in sec.

We all know persons who are
forever taking chances in hope
Of winning some money to pay
those back bills. All of us know
the person who has certain
talent that could be developed and
cashed in on but VIC also know
that when that person continually
means about disappointment what
he really is disclosing is his own
laziness.
Indirection gets us down-keeps
us from knowing what we want.
Then too. setting our hearts on
something and not getting it has
a way Of making US despair. II
our hopes 90 not materialize We
lose all incentive 10 try another
road. Which is pity. for in this
way we develop fixed ideas. and
although fixed ideas Of the right
kind are priceless they can also
be dangerous weapons IL we use
them the wrong way.
Most of us know dlsappoirt-
ment-plenty of II. and that is why
IL is almost difficult TO write a

there are certain truths to help

appointment and failure we urge
the old plan of substitution, which
Is merely a case of IF at first
you don't succeed. try try again.
And finally we all have TO learn
that one great truth-if we want
10 succeed ourselves-the one that
teaches US the starting point OF
real success and happiness lies in
service and unselfishness. Like all
habits this has TO be praetced
but practice is often tiresome. 20

Dear Miss Grey. I certainly
agree with the writer who says
that il takes our friends TO irri-

Oxford Meets G. W. u. uesdoy
In International Debate

George Washington University's
series of annual international de-
bates, begun is years ago, will con-
tinue uninterrupted this year de-
spite the European war. Two stu
dents from Oxford University, Ed
ward r. G. Heath and Peter Street,
| will meet with Charles E. Corker
and Calvin Cory of George Wash
ington on Tuesday evening at 8:15
o'clock in the hall of government.
Subject of the debate will be:
Resolved, That the United States
Should Mediate in European Affairs" /"
In difference to the wishes of the
British debaters, who are anxious
that the discussion should not be
construed as an effort to influence
public opinion ION a matter which is
entirely for American decision" the
debate will be conducted under a
split-team arrangement, each side
being composed of one Englishman
and one American. In a commune
cation to the University Debate
Council the debaters from England
express their gratitude that de
spite the difficulties and uncertainty
caused by war, we are able to be
over here" and their desire that "to
avoid misunderstanding either here
or at home our position be made
clear, that this is an annual event
and that it was arranged last May"
at the invitation of American uni
versities, who likewise chose the
subjects to be debated
Both the British debaters have
been active in the Oxford Union
Society, the student legislative
forum.
Mr.. Heath is president of the
union this year. Last year he served
as president of his party group, the
University Conservative Association
He has travelled in France, Belgium
and Germany, and in Spain during
the civil war. At Oxford he is
leading undergraduate musician and
in 1896 was winner of the open organ
scholarship at Balliol College.
Mr.. Street has had debating ex-
perience in the Oxford Union So
ciety during the past three years
and at the beginning of the war
was acting president of the union.
He is president of the Oxford Uni
versity Liberal Club. He took an
honors degree in chemistry this
year. On his return to England he
will enter training with the Royal
Engineers in the British Army.
Mr.. Corker of George Washington
has participated actively in inter-
collegiate debate and in the work of
the George Washington Congress
since he entered the university in
1887. Last year he represented
George Washington in the inter-
national debate with a team from
Ireland. He also has taken part in
dramatics at the University.
Mr.. Cory has been a varsity de-
batter at the university for the past
three years and in 1887 was winner
of the freshman oratorical contest
He, too, is member of the congress.
An open forum will follow the
main discussion, when members OF
the audience may question the
debaters.
The debate is open to the public
but cards of admission are necessary.
These may be secured by communi-
eating with the department of public
speaking of the university by writing
or by calling between the hours of
l and pm.
A second interesting forensic event
that will take place at the univer-
sity this week is the Davis prize
speaking contest, now in it's 92d
year. These prizes were established

One of the best specimens of a
fossilized porpoise to be taken from
the cliffs bordering the western
shore of Chesapeake Bay has been
secured by DIR. Arthur R. Barwick,
associate professor of geology and
head of the department of geology
and geography at Catholic Univer-
sity, during one of his frequent
visits to that area with students in
his courses on paleontology.
The fossiliZed remains of a species
and genus of porpoise now extinct
was found imbedded in the gray,
sandy mari of the cliffs about one
half mile south of the mouth of
Parker Greek, which is few miles
southeast of Prince Frederick, Md.
These deposits were made during
the Miocene period, which existed
10000, 900 to 100000 years ago, DR..
Barwick said, and the specimen is
fairly complete for fossils of that
type. 1t was removed with the sur
