Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Cocoa
dealers said today that on the
basis of their records Germany had
failed to disturb shipping in the
South Atlantic.
British merchant ships, they said
have sailed from the African Gold
Coast and Nigeria to United States
ports without loss of a single pound
of cocoa since war began.
Thousands of tons were shipped
during the period to supply the
United States, biggest consumer In
the world, with cocoa and choco-
late.
Shipments from the African Ivory
Coast and French Cameroonsr
which border British-c controlled
Gold Coast and Nigeria and still
rank as French colonies despite
French capitulation to Germany,
have had similar good luck.
Cocoa Price Jumped.
The price of cocoa jumped to
around cents pound last Sep
TENDER from Az when war nervous
traders considered what Nazi raid
ers might do to sea lanes between
Africa and the United States. Afri-
ca supplies nearly IS per cent of
the worlds cocoa.
Traders recalled that in the first
World War cocoa beans were quoted
at Ia cents a pound in West At
RIGA and II to Is cents in New York
at the same time. Supplies in the
United States then were scarce and
shipping disrupted.
At present shipping lanes are re-
ported clear, and the United States
has on hand more than 1,000,0 900
bags of cocoa, enough to last around
three months.
Will Ration Manufacturers.
A recent cable from London to
the New York Cocoa Exchange i'm
piled that Great Britain planned to
keep the South Atlantic open to
trade If possible. Starting Septem-
Der English manufacturers will
have their supplies rationed at a
rate claimed to be about 20 per cent
below normal. Rationing of cocoa
to the general public was not
planned. according to the cable.
Market men claimed this meant
England would ship more cocoa to
the United States to obtain more
foreign exchange. In the first seven
months this year the dollar value
of all cocoa imports totaIed nearly
$4,000 900. Great Britain had . so
per cent snare Of this.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Wheat prices
f1uctuated within a range of less
than cent today, bobbing above
and below previous closing levels in
accordance with the flow of mill buy

Disciplining
Youngster
Properly
Change Conditions
Under Which Poor
Habit Was Born
By ANGELO PATRI.

| tommy went TO Oed gladly, slept
soundly, so his mother had no bed
time difficulty with him. One night
there was an accident with the elec-
! trio apparatus in the bedroom where
he slept and the fire department
had to be called. Since then Tommy
won't go to bed without some one
with him and if the fire department
apparatus passes the house he goes
into panic. His experience with
fire frightened him.
When something like this happens
and a child is conditioned to fear
there is no shortcut to his cure. We
have to be patient and hopeful and
| very gentle Talking is not helpful
and often it does harm by keeping
the unfortunate experience to the
fore. We want the child to forget it
as soon as possible, so the less said
the better.
One of the most helpful things we
can do is to change his surroundings
so that they no longer remind him
of the bad experience Tommy had
to have his bed placed in another
room so that he would not be re-
minded every time he went to bed of
| what was for him dreadful fright.
When a child has gotten into
trouble with an associate, or with a
grown person in charge of him, do
what is possible to change the ma
terial conditions under which the
unfortunate experience occurred.
Then, and this is the heart of the
matter, do all you can to change the
mental attitude of all concerned
about the matter.
Try to get the child to see where
he was wrong and get him to want
to be right. Until you can do that
you can have no assurance that he is
not headed for the same mistake.
Try to get the grown person con-
cerned to forget all grudging, all
blame, all feeling of personal injury
in relation to the child's conduct.
IT a teacher feels that this child
has given him a personal affront,
and Is consequently set against him,
the child will be forced to make
another mistake because of that at
titude. If one Of the family holds a
grudge against the child because
of his mistake, he must be treated
as we'll as the child for he is equally
wrong. Certain conditions surround
every experience and they suggest q
repetition of that experience. If it
has been a bad one you can see that
change Is imperative.
Force is not helpful here. Mind
controls all action and If the mind
is set the wrong way the action must
follow in the wrong way. Force does
not affect the mind in happy ways.
It tends to rouse bad feeling and
increase wrong actions Understand
ing, gentleness, reason, open the
mind and direct it to ways of pleas
antness and peace.
Then discipline fear stricken chill
| dren and children of poor habits not
by force, but by gentleness; not by
force but by happy experiences that
dislodge the memory of the bad ones.
Change the setting or direct it to-
ward good ends and good will come.

Dear Miss Dix-Can a man sacri-
flee too much? For two years I
have been engaged to a very fine
man whom love dearly, but the goal
of our desires, being married and
having a home of our own, is no
nearer than 1t was at first. The rea-
son for this is my fiance's mother
in-law. He had been married and
his wife died a month after their
little girl was born II years ago. His
wife's mother took possession of the
baby and has become SO selfishly
absorbed in her that he lacks the
courage to seperate them. She
seems to have a hypnotic power
over him, making him feel that
her life has been given up for the
sake of the child. But this is not
the case, as he has done everything
possible to repay her by giving her
luxuries and making her happy,
while she has done nothing to make
things pleasant for him. My fiance
insists that he loves me and looks
forward to marrying me some day"
but he put his mother-in-law and
her desires above me and mine, and
sacrifices me ruthlessly to her, so
it makes me doubt his affection
What do you think? K. r. L.
Answer-Your fiance is certainly
giving you rough deal in putting
the whims of a selfish and pos
sessive old woman above your hap
piness, but, strange as it may seem,
that is his queer proof of love for
you. He feels you are so near and
dear to him, so much part of him,
that he offers you up along with
himself on the sacrif1cal alter.
But 1t isn't much comfort to a
girl to be sure that man loves her
if he considers other people before

Martyr Complex Brings Only
Unhappiness in Marriage

he does her; if he is more solicitous
of their welfare than he is of hers,
and If he is concerned about doing
his duties to others that he over
looks any obligations he may have
to her.
shouldn't advise any girl to marry
such a one unless she also has the
martyr complex. No wife enjoys
playing second fiddle.
No doubt the man who makes
himself the family goat consoles
himself by feeling noble, but almost
always he is merely being stupid.
For it is the tragedy of sacrifice
that it hinders oftener than it helps
and does most evil where most good
was intended. We all know brilliant
boys who gave up opportunities that
would have taken them to fame and
fortune because Mother didn't want
them to leave home.
Girls who gave up the men they
wanted because fsther didn't like
their politics or their religion. Par
ents who slave themselves to death
to support lazy children. Half of
the parasites and the wastrels in
the world were made that way by
somebody's sacrifice. If they had
been compelled to work or starve,
they would have worked.
Probably your fiance is patting
himself on the back because he Is
giving up his happiness in marrying
you and having a home of his own,
in order not to peeve his old mother
in-law. He doesn't consider that he
is blighting your life and doing his
child irreparable injury by depriving
her of the guidance and association
of a modern, up-to-date young
woman.
