FAMOUS FABLES
by Y. Y. EDGAR

RULES: Horace d. Taft,
brother OF President william
Howard Taft, was a prominent
educator, founder and head
master Of his own school. Here
many OF the children OF the
Taft clan received their early
education.
Never once was II even whis-
pered that the Taft children
received preferential treatment.
Horace Taft made certain that
they abided by the rules, the
same as the other students.
In 1909, however, when hts
brother was TO be inaugurated.
he faced a dilemma. His BROTH
er's youngest son, Charles
Phelps Taft, was a student at
the school. The President-elect,
OF course, wanted the boy TO be
present. But II he we're per-
mitted 10 attend. II would vio-
late one Of the schools cardinal
rules-that no student was TO
leave the premises during the
term.
After some hard thinking.
Horace Taft decided that II
would be bad for morale to let
the boy break the rule. But he
got around the problem. He
made q new rule. which pro-
vided that:
ANY boy whose father Is
elected President OF the United
States may be excused TO attend
the inauguration"

I have been married six years
and have three young children.
Our marriage would be quite
happy If it weren't for our
many quarrels about the chill
dren.

know what is best for them.
My husband feels he ought TO
be allowed TO do just as he
pleases with them, but he has
no sense at all about what is
best for them.
Every night he comes home
with different toys for them
and the house is flooded with
more things than they can ever
enjoy. Henry thinks nothing Of
waking up a child late at night

gets their stomachs upset with

with and maybe spoil a little.

too strict with them. She is
often nervous and yells at them
or swats them for no good
reason at all.
Whenever / want to do some

Theresa's immediate reaction is

and laughing with the kids,
she says they're getting too
wild and noisy. She seems to
resent my having anything to

mine, too. and I care about
them at least as much as she
does.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Somehow these parents seem
to have fallen into the pattern
OF competing for possession Of
the children, and that is GER
tainly all wrong.
Henry makes an understand
able case out Of his reasons for
wanting TO give his children as
much fun as possible. But II
Theresa's accusation that he
endangers the health OF the
child is true, II Is obvious he
has some other selfish motive
for his excess pampering.
On the other hand, II there
is truth in Henry's accusation
that Theresa always tries to
restrain his fun with the chill
dren, 1t is obvious she Is re-
sentful Of something In that

We suspect each Of these

Analysis Of the many letters
from readers on the problem
Of snoring brings these convic-
tons:
/. Snoring is no Joke. Anyone
who laughs about 1t is the same
kind of person who laughs at
a dog with a tin can tied TO his
tail.
2. Although "gadgets" are
not thought to be helpful, many
believe they are worth the try.
For example. sleeping with
some contraption that will
prevent you from lying on your
back.
3. Under no circumstances
sleep in a separate room. Sepa-
rate bed. yes. These letters
were in the minority.
4. For the sake of your health
and family peace. don't hesitate
to sleep in a separate room.
such were in the majority.
I believe that today's letter
by Mrs. r. E. L. has much good
sense in it.
Nevertheless. ] know that this
last statement will bring out
many replies: Doctor. how
can you possibly make a sug-
gestion that will only tend to
break up many homes?"
Frankly. have never found it
to work out that way. People
who try separate rooms are
rather than resentful
about 1t.

goes into the problem more

Didn't Feel
Train Brake,
F!aur1an Says

NEW YORK, Sept 10 (AP).
An Interstate Commerce
Commission probe has heard
conflicting testimony as to
whether the brakes of a Jer-
sey Central train were oper-
ating before it plunged into
Newark Bay.
James Carter, flagman aboard
the Inflated commuter train
which ran through an open
drawbridge, testified yesterday
that he did not feel any brak-
ing on the train before the
wreck.
With the finding of two more
bodies last night, the total Of
known dead rose to 38. The
list of persons missing in last
Mondays disaster stood at 10.
Early today the second loco
motive-a dead-head being
hauled by the lead engine-was
recovered from the bay.
3 Felt Brakes Catch
Three other railroad employees
who were on the train said they
felt the brakes catch after the
train was derailed and as it
bounced toward the open draw.
William Noise, a craftsman
for the line, testified: THE
train bounced and jerked quite
. bit after the derailment in
dicating the brakes were APP
Piled"
Harry Neudstadt, Jersey
Central employee who was rid
ing with Mr.. Noise, said he felt
the air brakes going on after
the derailment device went into
effect.
Robert Kinloch, who was
baggage master riding in the
rear car of the 1ive-coach
train, said the train had gone
into a hole"-railway termi-
nology for an emergency APP
plication of brakes.
Mystery still surrounds what |
happened in the locomotives
cab before the crash.
Heart Attack Indicated
Medical evidence has indi-
Gated that the engineer, Lloyd
Wilburn, So, may have suffered
q heart attack at the controls
before the train hit the water. |
But there has been no explana-
ton why the fireman, Peter
Andrews. IS, didn't take over
and halt the train. Both Mr..
Wilburn and Mr.. Andrews died
IN the wreck.
AS a result of the wreck, the
New Jersey Public Utility Com
mission Wednesday ordered all
passenger lines in the State to
install dead-man's controls on
their locomotives. Such con-
trolls automatically halt a train
II the engineers grip relaxes
on the controls. The Jersey
Central did not have such o
system, relying instead on the

Airmon's Mother
Offers Sympathy

KUMAMOTo. Japan, Sept.
10 (AP).-The mother of an
American airman who fatally
shot a young Japanese musi-
clan has sent a letter to the
victims 50-year-old mother.
Mrs. Catherine r. Schave,
Lakewood, Calf, said in the
letter to Mrs. Sano Miyamaura:

pierced the window of a passing
train and hit 22-year-old Sa-
chiyuki Miyamura in the back.

gave jurisdiction to Japanese
authorities. Longpre could be
accused Of gross negligence
causing death, which is similar
to the charge of manslaughter
under American laws.
Mrs. Schave's letter was re-
ceived September 16, Mrs.
Miyamura said. She said she
would reply to Mrs. Schave.
Col. Leroy M. Stanton, COM
mander of the 4S3d Troop Car
rier Wing at Ashiya, today
visited Mrs. Miyamura and
presented her q check of 5000
yen ($25). He explained the
money was from a $500 trust
fund established by his base
personnel sympathizing with
the japanese widow. He said
the $25 sympathy money will
be paid her every month for
o year, and will be extended If
more money is collected.

REPRESENTATIVE JIM
FULTON, Republican bache-
lor from Pennsylvania, has
had Pittsburgh on its ear for
the past couple of months
because of a couple Of huge
stone piers on either side Of
the Monongahela River. i.
Close to either bank but not
touching them, the 10-story
high supports that once held
aloft the old Wabash Rail-
road bridge right next to
downtown Pittsburgh were
quietly purchased by him
just for the heck of it--from
the Pittsburgh &c West Vir-
ginia Railroad. Pitts
burgh discovered this ek-
traordinary fact when a BIZ
centennial committee asked
for their use to put lights on.
Since then there's been
a running battle of wits be-
tween the local papers and
Mr.. Fulton.
One Pittsburgh paper wrote
an editorial entitled, For
the man who has everything
get him a pier. Midst
the hundreds of suggestions
pouring in for their use, one
idea was to grow trees on
them If only there was a way
TO get quantities of dirt on
top. To this Jim, UNI
daunted, replied with relish.
Never underestimate Con-
gresham Fulton when 1t
comes to dirt"
Why did he buy them? IT
thought I'd like a place to
get away and sit and think, "
Mr.. Fulton jokingly OBJ
served"
He says he has two other
ideas for them-one, as ped
estals for something monu-
mental, the other as the
foundation for marinas that
could be built around them,
