RAISING A FAMILY
|Tantru1ns Need
Most Careful
Treatment
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
If a small child gets tantrums,
should we:
A. Shake him?
B. Throw water on him and
call the doctor?
C. Quietly let him alone to
work it off?
ID. Give him what ne wants, in
order to have peace?
Number three, or "C", is right, as
far as 1t goes, because the child
has not only worked himself up to
a point where he wont listen, but
any encouragement only ask for A
repetition of the performance. Tiny
children, as we know, put on acts
of various kinds In order to get
their way. Occasionally jealousy is
the cause.
Yet there are other things. A
child who has become over-tired
on a shopping trip may take a
tantrum in public because his
nerves have reached their limit Of
endurance. Excitement of any
kind may result in a tantrum If
the child is the nervous type.
But the mother intent on her
shopping insists that he be good
boy. Maybe she takes him to the
movies later, thinking it will rest
him; but small children can't I'M
derstand movies and get bored
and nervous by long sitting. Then
comes the scolding, and the result
is likely to tantrum.
MAY BE GOOD
REASON FOR TANTRUM
While 1t Is true that tantrums
are frequently due to bad temper,
it happens also that many such
spells are justified on the grounds
Of decent. resentment. The child
is merely doing in his way what
we would do In our way If we were
constantly pestered and exasperated.
Instead of throwing book or cuss-
ing or banging d door, he lies down
and screams.
If you have a tantrum child In
the family, first try to find out If
he feels that he Is too much hin
dered. But remember that the
spoiled child may feel this way,
, too. If there Is no real reason
that you can see for the tantrum,
then better pretend he Is not hav-
ing it.
But if this has not effect after
several occurrences, then there Is
likely to be something in his daily
life that needs adjusting. The
afternoon nap, If missed, may be
the cause of the SO o'clock spell.
Indigestion makes older people
nervous-why not children?

The mountain ash Is one of the
most valuable of the small trees
growing in the forests of Pennsyl-
vania. It seldom reaches height
Of over 80 feet, with trunk dame
ter of IA inches. Many Of the trees
are to be found at high attitudes,
others in cool, damp swamps.
However, ash trees do not limit
themselves to one State. They are
essentially tree of the Northern
woods. In Newfoundland, Mani
toba and Iowa, southwark to Penn
sylvania and along the mountains
of North Carolina some beautiful
specimens are to be seen.
All of the ashes are small trees
with excellent habits. They are sat-
istactory for ornamental planting
because of their size and handsome
foliage, snowy clusters of white how-
ers and brilliant crimson fruit, quail
ilcations hard to equal, even by cur
favorite trees.
Ash trees are willing to adapt
themselves to any type of soil.
Transported as seeds by birds, they
get busy and use what the soil
has to offer them in the way of
food. This trait has endeared them
to mankind. Many of us who have
seen sterile ground, poor situations
and bare, exposed spots, trans
formed into a beautiful picture
equalling an artists masterpiece,
have high regard for the ash.
In the autumn all the shades of
red and deep purple, with bronzy
tints that from distance make the
beholder imagine he is seeing
magic carpet spread out before
him, add to our appreciation of the
small ash trees.
In the winter the generous clus-
ters of bright red berries contrast
beautifully with the snowy fields
lying all about them. While pleas
ing our sense of beauty, the berries
are valuable as food for our winter
birds.
The leaves of the ash tree are
alternate, 6 to 10 inches long, COM
posed of from to II leaflets 2 to
3 inches in length and, with the

finely toothed along the margin. In
the spring these leaves are bright
green, assuming their ruddy color Is
autumn approaches.
The flowers are small and white,
not over one-eighth of an inch wide
and arranged In q fiat cluster Of 8
to 4 inches across. This Is q mass
ing Of the small blossoms to attract
the attention Of insect guests. In
this spot the crimson berries will
be seen in the fall.
The trees bark is smooth and
thin, somewhat gray in color and
slightly scaly. The stout twigs have
a reddish brown hue and pale gray
ish dots. The terminal buds are one.

has some commercial Importance,
but the tree is too small to produce
wood with marketable value. The
ash's intrinsic value lies in its
beauty as an ornamental tree and
its generous production OF fruit for
the birds.

SPAN SITE TALK
AT OCEAN CITY
State Roads Commission Max
ing Preliminary Study at
South Division Street
BETTER FOR BOULEVARD

The Maryland State Roads Com
mission has completed a prelimin-
ary survey of the Synepuxent Bay
harbor at South Division Street,
Ocean City, Md, to determine
whether the site is practical for
the proposed building of new
highway bridge, it was learned last
week. l.. Franklin Purnell, said to
be one of tn leaders in the two
year-old bridge location dispute of
the Worcester Street or South
Ocean City faction, said Friday
night the state engineers have just
completed making survey of
South Division Street location for
a proposed bay span into Ocean
City. Months ago the State Roads
Commission went on record as ap-
proving North Division Street, in
central Ocean City, as the Ocean
City terminus of a new $750,OOO
bay bridge connecting this Mary
land resort with the Worcester
County mainland. The North Di-
vision Street location approval by
the commission was in direct oppo-
sition to the wish of a majority of
Ocean City property owners and
taxpayers, and West Ocean City
mainland who had voted to have
the new bridge located at Worces-
ter Street in a special bridge cleo
tion held at Ocean City in Septem-
Der, 1887, The vote was 286 to 81
in favor of Worcester Street loca-
ton at that time. Majority opin-
ion among Ocean City residents
continues to favor building the new
bridge in southern Ocean City,
either at Worcester Street, South
Division Street or Wicomico Street.
The opening of the new $4,000
beach highway between Ocean City
and Rehoboth Beach Friday Sep
tember 1, supplying this resort
with a northern traffic outlet, will
prove added argument for locating
the new bridge in southern Ocean
City, instead of North Division
Street, Purnen pointed out.

Radiant Living
THIEVES FROM
JERICHO
By Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

What a tragedy happened to
that man who went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell
among thieves "They stripped
him of his raiment, Jesus tells us,
''and wounded him, and left him
half dead"
Are not Jesus words descriptive
Of the tragedy that happens when
a spiritual consecrated man of God
slips away from his holy living and
gradually sinks into a life of sinful,
selfish living? Such a man truly
leaves Jerusalem" and goes down
to Jericho"
Jerusalem, meaning city of
peace, symbolizes an unselfish life
centered in a devout love for God,
spiritual in character, moral in
tone, and holy in atmosphere.
Jericho, on the other hand,
means fragrance. 1t was a city
of the valley, a place of palms,
luxury, and vice. It symbolizes a
goddess life that exists only for
sensuous pleasure.
One could not leave Jerusalem,
situated as it was on mountains S
height, typical of high spiritual
/ life, and start for Jericho in the
valley, without going down. Any
departure from Jerusalem is down.
And, along the way to Jericho,

STATE SAFETY

Asks Motoring Public To Use
Care in Labor Holiday
Traffic
PLAN TO GO SAFE

The Labor Day weekend, which
will be observed September End,
I'd, and 4th, generally witnesses
automobile fatalities and accidents
soaring to their highest peak dur
ing the year. The Labor Day week
end will probably see our highway
system near the saturation point.
j. James Ashton, Manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, urges all
drivers and pedestrians to recog-
nize that these conditions present
extra traffic hazards and suggests
that the trip be carefully planned.
America will be on the move, va
cation bound, happy, excited and
probably careless. Everybody it
seems takes vacation one way or
another-everyone with the excep-
tion of Death. He takes no vaca-
tion. Death will be there on the
beaches, in the water, on the high
way He will be working over
time. The Labor Day Holiday has
proved to be his busy season. Care
lessness will be there too, so will
Tragedy, Sorrow and Suffering.
They will be working hard. One
way in which these scourges may
be handicapped is by planning a
careful, safe vacation. If you plan
to go on an automobile trip, see
that your car is in good condition
before you start. Plan to get an
early start in order that it will not
be necessary to indulge in any
needless haste. Plan to get home
in time to avoid the last-minute
traffic jams that are sure to exist.
A chain is as strong as its weak
est link, likewise the state highway
is as safe as the most reckless
driver who uses it. Most drivers
are careful and law-abiding. The
careless few are responsible for the
great majority of accidents. The
accidents they cause involve limo
cent pedestrians and innocent fel-
low motorists. Accidents caused
by the careless few frequently off
set the conscientious efforts of the
careful many, Let's put safety
into effect during the coming holi-
day. Let's route carelessness. Let's
give Death a vacation.
