Resent
Orders
They Obey Parents
But Often Very
Unwillingly
By Leffice Lee Street,

BY LPfhce Lee STREET.
Bobby and Betty come here right
this minute" The mothers voice cut
j2SSsdsholes in the peaceful calm of
the sunny May morning. The two
children 50 rudely summoned were
quietly and solemnly engaged in
digging and wedding in their
scraggy. If well intended, Victory
garden. They paid no heed to the
command. Perhaps, they did not
hear. as their task was so engrossing,
certainly they did not know that it
was time to come indoors, because
time stands still for children.
Bobby and Betty, come here 1T
once, I say!" the mothers voice was
now shrilly impatient. The two
young farmers paused in their labor,
looked up to see their mother beck
oning to them and reluctantly
dragged their unwillingly little feet
across the grass to the house.
After lupch, q dismal affair made
worse by the presence OF a visitor,
the two youngsters escaped from
the grownups as quickly as they
could and returned to their very i'm
portant agricultural efforts. Watch
ing their two sturdy little backs as
ths children ran across the lawn,
the mother said apologetically,
They don't mind me well at all.
I don't understand because I have
always been strict with them and
have made them obey. You would
think that they would begin to learn
that they have to mind me-"
The honest thing for this mother
to have said would have been, Il
don't understand children"
Ladies and gentlemen as young
as this pair, aged 1 and years,
may be docile and obedient small
people most of the time, but it Is
not using ones common sense to
expect any young child always to
obey a peremptory summons or re-
quest Immediately. They VIII par
ticularly fail to do 50 if no attractive
picture is painted of what they may
do after they have performed their
task, or if important play is sud-
denly and rudely interrupted.
Parents who attempt to gain obe-
dience from their youngsters through
threats, harsh punishments and bull
lying words frequently are surprised
that the child they boast Of having
brought up without any foolish
ness" is the bad boy of the block,
the deceitful girl at school who
cheats and tattle-tales, or the sulky,
ill-mannered, unco-operative child
who grows increasingly hard to
manage.
Even q spunky, spirited youngster
may submit to arrogance and tact
lessness for a time, and thus fool
his misguided parents into thinking
that their rule-with-the-rod method
is successful. But eventually the
dreadful day comes when the child
either openly or secretly rebels.
Then the serious behavior problems
start.
Children will be more obedient,
sweeter tempered, more honest and
reliable and the source of pride and
pleasure to their parents If they
are led, not pushed, if they are
asked, not commanded, if they are
punished justly, not unreasonably
and If their parents give them even
a small share OF the courtesy and
consideration they extend to the
stranger who comes to their house.

inspirer than 1t would If you cracked
out at him or her the moment the
original insult was perpetrated.
Furthermore, If you call Edgar or
Emily . dog in private, without wit
nesses, the incident can easily be
forgotten as soon as 1t is forgiven.
But If other ears have heard your
exchange Of insults. forgetting is
difncult business.
Get these thoughts firmly in your
mind now, when you're at peace
with the world. Then the next time
you feel like fiaring up, you'll be
better able to hold your fire until
you've located . few square feet Of

tour in the calf of the legs. The
exercises which stretch the big
muscles OF the hips are the ones you

bigger around the ankles?"
Answer-Since the contour Of the
ankles is greatly Influenced by honey
structure, this Is a difhcult problem.
However, you can develop general

WAR CHAFF

Admiral Esteva, resident general of. Tunis. has unique theory about boards, women and efficiency. Be- lieVing that women and shaving take up too much time, he resolved as a youth never to shave and never to associate with women. As a re- suit he figures he has saved several years of his life q. It was really the French Dieuxieme Bureau, or secret service. which smuggled General Giraud out of France into North Africa, just as they also had most to do with smuggling him out of a German prison. He passed through Gibraltar as an old woman, accom- panied by a younger French wom- an ...s. Admiral Darlan was at the bedside of his son in Algiers, ill with blood poisoning, when U. s. troops landed in North Africa. Admiral Esteva, General Juin and several other military leaders all had been sounded out secretly by U. S. agents regarding resistance, in case Am erican troops landed.
