FLORENCE MILNER

Mrs. Peters was sending the after
noon with her intimate friend, Mrs,
Ashton. AS the two worked and
chatted together, Mrs. Peters, sitting
by the open window, noticed a muT-
mur Of voices outside. At first she
thought little about it assuming that
Ruth, Mrs. Ashton's four-year-old
daughter, was playing there with
other children.
Eventually, the monotonous tone, so
unlike that Of happy, joyous children
at play, forced itself more clearly
upon her notice. She could distin-
guish but one voice, and that voice
was saying at intervals, "Yes, Moth
er, Yes, Mother"
This aroused Mrs. Peters curiosity,
and she leaned out Of the window to
see what was going on. She discov-
cred Ruth playing contentedly all
alone, while she repeated automatical-
ly, eyes, Mother"
knowing Mrs Ashton and her
methods, the explanation was not diff
fcult to find. Mrs. Ashton was a de-
voted mother, but the way she eX-
pressed her devotion was often un-
wise She scarcely allowed the lit
tie girl out of her sight, and Wher
with her, she rained a constant pat
ter of admonitions, cautions and gen.
->tIe reproofs, most of which were un-
= necessary. In fact the parental voice
was scarcely ever silent when mother
and child were together.
Ruth was so accustomed to these
continuous admonitions that, hearing
her mothers voice through the opel
window, she subconsciously assumed
that the usual shower was pelting her
Although she evidently did not know
at all what her mother was saying
she took it for granted that the re
marks were likely to be something
that would Interfere with her per
sonal freedom. She did not wis
to be Interrupted in her play so sh
was protecting herself with the cour
teous, ''Yes, Mother" in this wa
putting up sheltering umbrell
against shower Of words.
1t is just as true in addressing chi
dren as grownups that one is nc
needed merely because he is a grea
talker. The mother who allows hel
self to repeat, day after day, admC
nitions. reproofs, or unnecessary d
rections loses power and authority {
each repetition. Everyone gets accus
toned to a constantly recurrin
sound. Live long enough near tt

Let US speak with defnjteness az
only when necessary. Our yea shou

the child will soon learn that we me-

results only in loss Of power and ten,
to bring about a disregard Of all a

recognizes it as q confession Of wea

SOLID BUILDINGS COMING

A solid building without windows,
is being considered in connection with the
new structure to be erected at the national
capital for the War Department.
In this day of improved artificial light
ing and air conditioning there is little or no
reason for building to have hundreds of
windows.
The President, it is said, points out
that solid" building would be economical
because wings and courtyards would be I'M
necessary to provide air and light and be-
cause it would require less space. Modern
lighting often produces better lighting than
the natural light that filters into large
edifices.
The time is coming when practically
all buildings will be without windows, re-
lying upon tube lights and air conditioning.
OF course, it will take years to accustom
human beings to this modernized structure
but its economy will prevail.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Fed

Hitler to twist his lying tongue" to claim
that The Battle of America is going accord
ing to PLAN
Mr.. Hoover is pleased with the fact
that American agents have used his de-
vices in hoodwinking the oyerpubieized eff
forts of the Gestapo." Nearly 1900 Amer
lean plants have been surveyed by the FBI
and there has been no major disaster at the
hands of saboteurs
Hitler, it is said, once boosted that
America would be too soft to resist fifth
column attack" The evidence to date,
however, suggests that, for once, Der
Fuehrer was wrong in his calculations.

If so, said l, then pirates must

And / think that l would up and

If I could find another place

The breeze is ever present, and
the storm wind seldom blows;
In Christmas time the gar

The hurricanes come sometime,
and they make them lower

For even Key West sailors

It's boarded by the Gulf Stream

A polyglot of people go to

Brave gold marine and sailor

many of the Cuban clan.
Fair Anglo-Saxons from the
North, and Spanish grandee
fine,
Make up the people of Key
West, who live South of
frost line.
It's the last link that is welded
to the national defense chain,
And once it stood bulwark
against the legion fierce of
Spain.
And Uncle Sam IS building here,
a Garrison of might,
To help protect the nation,
in the swiftly coming
fight.
And he has planted mighty guns,
and planes and fighters fine.
To help protect this little
town, that lies south of
frost line.
Our National Guard is drilling
and preparing for the fray
That is as sure to come as
dawn, should Hitler have
his way.
And we are swiftly lining up in
case of fell invasion,
And every Key West man
viii fight, for God and
State and Nation.
STUART DEWITT.
Key West, Fla,
Oct. 81, 1941.
