Norway Receives
Christmas Ration

The rapid improvement in Nor
ways food situation is indicated
by the extra Christmas Ration
which has just been announced by
the Supply Department. Though
the ration must still be figured
in terms of ounces, instead of in
pounds, the variety of goods avail
able rather than the increased
quantity points toward merrier
Christmas than Norway has
known for many years.
The long-voiced hope that there
might be fresh meat on every
Norwegian Christmas board may
be a reality what with the extra
q ounce meat ration. In addition
to this, each card holder is en-
titled to almost three pounds of
canned meat and two and one half
pounds of fat and cheese. Three
and one-half extra ounces of cof-
fee are in themselves a cause for
celebration.
For the sweet tooth of the
youngsters there will be a whole
pound of syrup, ounces of SUI
gar, 13 ounces of raisins, three
and one-half ounces of dried fruit,
and two whole pounds of oranges,
an almost forgotten delicacy. Top
ping this off with two and one
half ounces of nuts, there is every
reason to believe that for thou
sands of Norway's children this
will be the first real Christmas.
Although every day has been
Thanksgiving Day in Norway,
Christmas of 1915 will be an oc-
casion whenevery Norwegian will
look back few short months and
give thanks for his lot.

Spending Money
Bv AnpeI0 Pafyi

Children know nothing about the
meaning and use of money. For
them it is means of getting things
they want. They must learn how
to value, how to use money and ex-
perience is the only way they can
come by that knowledge.
As soon as child begins asking
for money for buying candy, he
should be put on allowance. His
memory is short, his span of ex-
perience is brief, sometimes a mat
ter of hours and the experience is
gone. That is why we give little
child his allowance two times a
week, even three, SO that his spend
ing and its consequent experience
may be reinforced by memory.
AS the child grows older his al
lowance is increased and his re-
sponsibilities with it. He is taught
to keep an account and his father
or mother goes over the account
with him, praising his forethought.
his wise spending, and saying as
little about his mistakes as pos
sible. Those mistakes are what
educate him provided his parents
do not make them good and so
cheat him of his experience.
Children must be trained in buy
ing. so trips to market, to the shops
with father or mother are part of
his education in the use of money.
Gradually the child's buying priv
ileges are extended SO that by the

DEAR MISS DIX: For several
years I have been corresponding
with man whom I thought was
seriously interested in me, though
he told me he could not marry me
because he had vowed after his
Wife's death never to marry again.
I felt so sorry for him that I tried
to cheer him up and was willing to
wait and carry on our courtship in
secret, thinking he would change
his mind.
Now 1 find he is going to marry
another woman. lam so Inundated
and feel that I can never trust an
other man. 1 had felt so SNUG and
satisfied when I saw other women
casting lovesick looks at him, for I
was sure was the only one. What
should I do in a case like this?

you can do but accept the situation
with smile and pretend you like it.

time he reaches adolescence he
knows something of the value of
money and its use. That is neces-
sary for his protection because soon
he will have to be on his own feet
and carry his own responsibilities
1t is cruel to keep a child in ig-
norance of the use of money and
suddenly send him off to use his al
lowance as he sees fit. That is
what makes trouble for some COL
lege students, inexperience with in
dependent spending, earning and
saving for the future needs.
Allowances should be graded ac-
cording to family income, not too
much, never too little. It is sad
mistake for a middle-class family
to give their children the allowance.
clothes, entertainment that only
millionaires can afford. It is Just
as bad a mistake to pinch a child
Of a wealthy family in the belief
that such treatment teaches him
economy. Either way is wasteful.
Grade the allowance to the fam
ily's living standard from the start
and there will be less trouble.
And, what is Of great Importance
here, gradually take the children
into family partnership and let them
know what the financial standing
of the family is and engage their
cooperation. When that is done
early enough there Is no trouble
about spending money.
