Foul Smelling Gas Routs
SIeepers From Beds
By the Associated Press

MOLINE, ILL.,, July ga foul
smelling gas routed citizens from
their beds here early today, and
sent them scurrying by car in
their night clothes to high ground

Police squad cars roamed the
area trying to find the origin OF
the noxious odor. Reports here
said the smelly, invisible gas cloud
spread through East Moline, Sill
Wis, Rock Island, Ill, and 'Daven-
port, Iowa.
Engineers at the Iowa Illinois
Gas q Electric Co. sent a half
dozen crews out at 8 am. (CTS)

not exactly like-that injected

UrQe
nYour Child
By Angelo Potri

That kid of mine makes me
so mad sometimes I could shake
the teeth out of him. For in
stance: There was talk about liv-
ing in tents, in the pines along
the shore, where we go for the
summer. Some of the kids
thought it would be fun. Ours
thought it might be. too. We IA
theirs got together and arranged
to buy some tents for them but
our young man. 13 years old, said.
'I'd rather you bought me some
u.ios If canvas and let me make
lay oVG.' how what do you think
of tnat? He'd rather fuss, and
sweat and mess over the job than
accept a fine, well-made tent.
Gets me-"
would certainly get him the
strips of canvas and whatever else
material he required and let him
go to 1t. I would encourage him
in every way to create his own
tent. Creative power brought to
fruition is the greatest asset any
human being can possess and it ir
mighty scarce. Too many chill
dren, not to mention grown peo-
pie, have too much handed to
them. When one expresses a de-
sire and the will to help himself
he should be praised to high
heaven and helped to get there.
OF course the job the boy does
may not be as perfect as one
bought in the shop. but it is likely
to serve his purpose. It will do
more. 1t will give him a certain
strength that makes him an as
sured, secure personality and
that is something beyond price.
The boy who must buy everything
he uses, who is helpless when
something breaks. gives out on his
hands, is a pitiful spectacle be-
side the dad who says, Here. Let's
fix it. The boy, or the girl, who
can see possibilities in what is at
hand, who can make do" with
what he has, has a terrific ad-
vantage over those who see only
what is in the shop windows.
The seemingly contrary" child
has something else beside con-
trariness. He has the wish and
the will to be different if that is
the price of expressing his real
feeling. his actual desires. The
ability to stand alone when con-
viction, conscience. demand it is
a quality of greatness. Don't be
annoyed too much when a child
opposes your ideas for his welfare
and suggests one of his own. If
possible at all, let him try it out.
Failure will teach such a child
and he will try again. Success
will enlighten and strengthen him.
The middle of the road in such
situations is,, as usual. the best
way.

Robert Hanks, the Manhattan
dog photographer, does not claim
to be an expert in feminine beau
ty, but he tells me that he has
made some interesting observa-
tions along this line. In fact, Mr..
Hanks assures me that women who
own dogs have simmer figures.
He said, ''women must walk
their dogs, at least when they live
in a big city. While many women
do not make an attempt to get
outdoor exercise, the regime Of a
canine pet in city prevents ex-
cuses for Self-indulgence on the
woman's part" He challenges
any one to watch the women who
walk their dogs in Washington
Square. He also states that while
the PekingeSe and small poodles
do not need excessive exercise, the
larger breeds require brisk walks
and not just around the block
One woman he knows, who owns
two prize boxers, gets up at 6 am
every day to walk them.
Most of the dogs we have had
have been mongrels. We loved
them but they hardly called for a
special photographer; just a snap
shot. However, can see what
Mr.. Hanks means when I remem-
ber the one beautiful blueblood
Irish setter we had. I did not
walk him. I took him to the park
and let him run, and when I re-
member how he stretched his long
legs. ! get the point. If I had had
him on the end of a leash it might
have been a question of who was
walking whom, but I would look .
lot better than I do now. I wish
] had talked to Mr.. Hanks sooner.
If it takes a dog to get you out
doors, buy one; the bigger the
better. If you live in a small town
walk your dog anyway. He won't

the most professional of professional Northerners
that two members of her Legislature are Strik-

of tolerating the practice Further carrying
things to a splendid extreme, it would slap
$50 penalty on each and every individual caught

it, to the sky who has paid tributes without end

bellhops walters, hat-check girls and the legion

applied, it would do away forever with such
absurdities as a mans tipping coakroom at
