Boy 8, Spears
7-POund PickereL.

Litchfield-When "grand-daddy"
pickerel meets an eight-year lad,
watch out! Especially if the boy hap
pens to be Frederick Smith with spear
in his hand For one Sunday recently
when his dad left Freddie alone in
their fish house on the lake grand
daddy pickerel showed up and met his
Waterloo. Sight of the fish as it
"came in" to the hole through the fish
house floor sent the blood racing
Pretty much excited, he first thought
of calling his dad, but finally let go
with the spear and hit the big fish
squarely. BY the time his dad re-
turned Freddie had landed the fish
after quite a struggle with only few
scratches on his fingers to show for
the encounter. The fish tipped the
scales at seven pounds. "Some fun!"
exclaimed Freddie, challenging his dad
to do as well.

MOVIES AND CHILDREN

"At what age should children be
allowed to go to the movies?" is
question so frequent nowadays as to
make one wonder if parents don't be-
come a bit skeptical, after they have
leaped out of bed in the middle of the
night to soothe screaming three
year-old.
Many persons have the idea that pic
lures which star child actors are
planned for young children. That they
should think this betrays a lack of
understanding of the child mind, and
his great susceptibility to emotional
disturbance.
We are no longer in the position of
having to wonder about whether or not
it is good for children to go to the
movies. Careful studies have been
made of the effects on children'S emo
tons of the narrowing and exciting
things they see and hear going on on
the screen. A good many mothers are
going to hesitate to take their five year
olds to movie, when they learn that
child's sleep is often upset for three
or four nights after he has had such
an experience, and that many night
mares and bad dreams are attributable
to the scary things seen in the movies.
One doubts if full length picture
yet has been made that was suitable for
children under the age of six. Some
five year olds are sufficiently sophisti-
Gated to enjoy the Three Little Pigs
without being too narrowed, but even
the most calloused five or six year old
could hardly sit through Snow White
without being emotionally keyed up to
a nervous tension that is all out of pro-
portion to the pleasure gained.
The trouble is, we all want to cram
our children's lives full. We can't wait
for them to enjoy things when they're
old enough to appreciate them. So we
must hurry them into experiences long
before they know how to make the
most of them. We urge them into
dancing classes, we have them pounding
away at piano, or saving eXcruciat-
ingly at the violin, long before we have
any notion whether or not they have
any real talents that need to be brought
out
There may be plenty of time. BY the
time your three year old is old enough
to go to the movies, they will probably
be as much improved as those we see

Growing With Your Child
University of Minnesota, Institute of Child Welfare

today are over those we saw few
years ago.
Even when older children go to the
movies, it's a good thing to go with
them. 1t has been found that children
are not nearly SO upset and frightened
and worried if there is an adult at their
side, than if they must bear the strain
all alone.
"But," you say, children like to be
frightened. They like to have the
breath knocked out of them at the
movies, just as they do on a roller
coaster They want hairbreath escapes
and plots where perils and dangers come
thick and fast"
True enough, and yet they do not
need the security and safety of knowing
that things are coming out all right in
the end. They want to hang onto your
hand and feel its reassuring grasp. They
want you to whisper in their ear oc-
casionally that it's only picture and
that they surely won't kill off the hero!

new FACTS ON
Death FROM GAS
Studies Made by Authorities
Reveal a Multitude of Facts
on Asphyxiation.

During the winter season there are
between 500 and TOO Americans marked
for death-a useless, avoidable death
Most of them will die in their garages
while warming up the motors of their
autos with the garage doors closed.
Some will die while sitting in their cars
with the windows closed and the motors
running. Several may die while work
ing the engines of their machines to the
utmost in attempts to get out of snow
drifts in which they have become stuck.
Some will die while driving their autos
along the road. A few will die huddled
around foul-smelling and poorly adj
justed room heaters.
We know this not only because of
past experience, but also because studies
have revealed new factS-hitherto I'M
known ways carbon monoXide has of
Snuffing out mans life. Much has
been written about carbon monoxide,
but most of it has been by way of lock-
ing the barn after the horse is stolen
Here are some of the facts of which
We are now certain.
/. Frequently there is no warning
headache or dizziness. Unconscious
ness and death can hitsyou like black
jack in the hands of thug.
2. Carbon monoxide is not heavier
than air, but very slightly lighter.
8. Automobile exhaust pipes are not
the only source of carbon monoxide. 1t
is a product of incomplete combustion
and may be given off by improperly
vented oil heaters, coal burners and oil
stoves
A. No person is immune, nor can
anyone build up an immunity.
S. Acute poisoning as well as chronic
poisoning caused by repeated exposures
may leave serious after effects.
6. You don't have to be inside gar
age with the doors closed to be en-
dangered; if you have leaky exhaust
pipe or a leaky manifold heater, your
closed car will do as well.
z. You are in danger if your ex-
haust isn't able to escape freely. There
have been many cases in which cars and
trucks have backed up against hard
snow bank which INSTRUCTED the ex-
haust pipe; the exhaust has escaped in
some manner, perhaps around gasket,
and persons in the car have been as
phyxiated.
8. 1t does not take a concentrated
amount but only one-fifth of the one
per cent carbon monoxide in the air to
put you to sleep.
Therefore:
/. See that the doors of your garage
are open when the motor of your car
is running.
2. Provide ventilation if you are
using an oil or coal heater in the room
or any combustion heater without flue
8. Have your car tested, both when
it is in motion and when it is parked,
for the presence of carbon monoxide
4. Have your car inspected for a
leaky exhaust system.
5. Remember that when you park
with the motor running the exhaust has
a tendency, especially when the exhaust
pipe is partially INSTRUCTED, to curl up
under the car and gather there See
that car window is open when you
park with the motor running.

Automobile Stolen;
Gunner at Wake.

Farmington-While Matt Doffing,
Vermillion farmer, was attending a
wake for neighbor, someone stole his
auto. The wake was, being held at a
home half mile east of the Doffing
farm. When Matt went to get his car,
which he left parked in the yard, it
was missing. Later, the machine was
found two miles from the place. The
thieves evidently took the corner too
fast causing the car to go into the
ditch and tip over.

Fire Destroys Box;
Money! Inside Untouched.

Granite Falls-While the fire at a
cafe early one morning was bad enough,
it could have been worse. When Bill
Cooley quit work that night he cleaned
out the cash register and put the money
in a cigar box which he hid out in the
back room of the building. There was
something like $3.50 in the box. The
day after the fire Cooley rushed to the
back room and there, sure enough, was
the cigar box where he had left it and
the money was intact. The fire had
burned things on all sides of the box
but hadn't even scorched the money.
