BOBBIE BEGINS TO
REASON
BY LUCIA MALLORY

BObbie began to ask questions almost
as soon as he could walk. Many chill
dren do. His mother, his father, in
fact all his relatives, answered his
questions, even trivial ones, carefully
and accurately, because they realized
he had begun TO carry Of. trains OF
thought for himself.
Sometimes he asked hard questions
hard because they led into scientific
fields. His family did the best they
could to put the answers into words a
little boy could understand. Often they
We're forced to look up facts in order
to answer simply and accurately.
They We're not ashamed then or later
to say, Il don't know, but we will try
to find out" or II have forgotten. We
will see what the book says" Mother
might say, as she often did, "We will
ask daddy when he comes home. He
will know"
If the questions We're unanswerable
they said, Nobody knows. Maybe when
you grow up you will be able to find
out"
Wisely, they allowed the child's own
interests, his own drives, his OWL
urgest know, to set his pace. There
was no attempt at forcing any interest
His mother provided him with books
picturing natural objects birds
flowers, trees, mountains. He had books
{. n ni ,1n at mfr
biles, and other modern developments
in the mechanical world.
Very early his mother began to rea(
to him. He loved the singing rhythm OF
Mother Goose and the verses in sucl
books as "When We Were Very Young
and "a Child's Garden of Verses" ant
some more recent books of verse anI
story. His mother taught him, too, tC
repeat many beautiful bits of prose
and verse and this he appeared to Ell
joy very much.
Bobbie learned through example, as
we'll as by precept, to handle books
with loving care He learned to real
pictures and enjoyed doing this. When
he was between four and five he begar
to make crayola pictures for himself
| Then came the happy day when he
! was old enough to enter his wider
world, the kindergarten.
No attempt had been made or would
be made in kindergarten to teach Bob
bic to read. His mother and his teacher
knew that reading readiness" would
develop little by little, day by day
| When he entered the first grade ht
would be little more than six year:
old, and physically ready for the eX
perience. Now he wasn't. But he wa:
already on friendly terms with books
apart from their interesting pictures
having learned how useful they are
When the proper time came he woui,
be eager to learn how to get book t.
| talk, SO that he could find the answers
| to many questions by himself

Don't Expect EdrlY End To
War. Labor Head Advises

Portland, Ore. (ILNS).-Dont't look
for an early end to the war.
That is the advice of Sir Walter Git
Trades Union Congress, who spoke to
the seventh annual meeting of the
Western Conference of Transfers here.
The United Nations cannot win u
quick victory, he declared. He said he
can see no logical reason why the war
should end before 1914, but "one deals
with too many intangibles to make a
sure prediction"
Sir Walter said British production
will not reach its peak until the middle
of 1913

Pantry Palaver

The L. S. Dept. of Agriculture has
appealed to stores and newspaper
agencies to promote wider use of
onions to help move the extra heavy
supplies into consumption. Here are
some salient points to remember when
preparing onions:
Peel under cold water; boil in an un-
covered kettle 90 to 45 minutes: white
onions will have Il better color if salt
is added the last minute. Steaming in
stead of boiling will preserve more of
the precious minerals and vitaminS
French Fried Onions are delicious ::
Cut peeled onions into H-inch slices
and separate rings. Dip in milk, drain
and flour Add beaten egg to milk and
dip again and flour. Drain and let
stand until coating is slightly dry. Fry
in deep fat. Drain on paper towel and
sprinkle with salt
Glazed Onions: Boil 3 cups Of small
onions Is minutes. Drain. Melt 3 table
spoons butter, > tablespoons sugar and
add onions. Cook slowly 20 minutes
until glazed and golden. Watch to keep
from burning.

If YOU want Il salad that is new and
delicious try tossing together in a
wooden salad bowl one diced avocado,
10 small sweet picked onions, , diced
oranges and half head shredded let
tuce. Dress at the last minute with 3
tablespoons oil and | lime juice, dash
of salt and pinch of sweet ma ioram.
For Il nutritious salad, mix grated
raw carrots and grated American
cheese with thin mayonnaise. Service

For Better IIOmemaking

After you've turned over to Uncle
Sam all the rubber salvage your prem
ises will yield, do conserve whatever
rubber equipment you have! Heat, sun
light, oil, grease, gasoline are mortal
enemies of rubber. Never store or dry
rubber near excessive heat, nor clean
with gasoline.
Never fold a raincoat, but hang it up
coiled and put away on fiat surface.
You can buy rubber cement which
will mend almost any torn rubber
