exactly like our own.
Your son lies about so many
things, you say. Well, then, examine
his pride. He may be trying to cam
outage the facts Of the family strug-
gle TO get along. Or he may also be
fibbing to make people think he is
drawer than he Is, or less stupid, as
he thinks, or less sensitive.
I have discovered that many
children lie to add to their own sense
Of Importance. Johnny says he has
made an airplane that will sail by
itself. Jimmy says he has licked the
street bully. Sally says she has been
to the Fair, when she has never been
near II.
Children make mistakes and lack
the moral courage to stand up and
tell. Children get into hot water and
lack the starch to give out the facts.
So do we.
TRUTH MEANS
A GREAT DEAL
The best way 10 get under oil this
prevarication, Is TO find out the
cause. You know your boy. Is he re-
acting naturally to his tempera-
ment? He must be. He Is too sensi-
tive, too inferiority-ridden, too slow;
perhaps, too Jealous of someone he
knows.
Or Is he afraid that you won't
understand and will punish too
harshly for the slightest infraction?
The big question is. Is 1t better to
let o child 60 without punishment
or have him learnr to tell the truth?
Weighed In the balance, I believe,
myself, that truth at any cost Is
best. 1t gives you something to work
on. The cure Is then possible. Other
wise you will forever be In the dark.
DO anything to break the habit OF
lying.
Yours sincerely,

The usual Christmas crop of doggy
novelties is being featured in the
stores. and as usual the dog owners
and dog lovers would rather get
something doggy than anything
else. Probably as good a gift as
any for your dog minded friends is
something for the dog. A new COL
lar and leash, if of the right type
for the breed in question, is always
welcome.
A new type of leash that is par
ticularly smart is one of fiat, braided
raw hide. Another type consists of
fine, rustproof chain with a
leather hand loop.
If he is the type of dog that needs
more clothes than Nature provides,
you may get him a swanky tweed
overcoat, blanket robe, a rain
coat, or good, old-fashioned, rough
neck sweater.
There are such items as
OverShOes and pocket handker-
chiefs for dogs, but why make
sissy of him?
Depending on whether the pooch
is frolicsome pup or a sedate and
paunchy old gourmet, you can get
him Christmas stocking stuffed
with a fine assortment of rubber
toys, including cat that sticks out
his tongue and chocolate favored
bone, or a stocking stuffed with
various It'd bits.
Some Things for Owners.
Brushes, combs. nail clippers
stripping knives. flea powder, dog
shampoo and hair tonic are all or
the list of best sellers and will make
you popular with the dogs owner
if not with the dog.
There do not seem to be as many
models of dogs on the market this
year as there have been, nor are
there as many breeds featured as
in the past. Cocker spaniels hold
first place in the gift store assort-
ments, as they do in A. K. C. regis
trationS
Probably the most amusing dogs
procurable are the hand-carved carl
catures of wood, and undoubtedly
the most beautiful and authentic are
the Royal Doulton proclaim models
which are procurable in almost any
breed.

Tennessee Regarded
Best Team Ney|and
Ever Turned Out
BY the Associated Press.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-In any dis
cussion of the Tennessee football
team, the question arises: Is this
years eleven as strong as the 1888
Southeastern Conference champion
ship outfit?
Coaches and experts who have
seen Maj Bob Neyland's wrecking
crew in action are of one accord that
the Vols are stronger.
Frank Thomas. Alabama mentor
whose Crimson Tide bowed to the
Vols 1870 last year and 2l-0 this fall,
says the present aggregation not on
ly is stronger, but also is the finest
any of his Alabama teams ever met.
Since Thomas has made three Rose
Bowl junkets in the last eight years
that's especially pleasing comment
for the bowl-minded Tennessee fol-
lowers.

burgh coach, saw the Vols trample
