Her ntind Taking the Easiest Way. I have a friend who leaves the pun- ishment of her children to their father. ! No matter how biff or how little the i misdeed, no action ifl taken until "father" comet into the house. Then follows a recital of Tommy's diBO- i bedience or Nellie's impudence. Gen- erally father does what is expected of him scolds severely or wields the arm of authority in tlie administration of corporal punishment. Why, I have often asked myself, does not their mother take the punish- | ment of the children into her own I hands ? The answer, I finally con- cluded, was that it was easier to turn the naughty children over '. their 1 father than to take them in charge i herself. She merely took the easiest i way. I know other mothers who never get beyond threats in the matter of "\njiishment. They know that their thteats are lightly treated, they real- ize that they are making little pro- gress toward correcting their chil- dren's faults, but they talk and talk, because they find this easier than de- vising suitable punishments. A great many mothers have discov- that the quickest way to "bring a r whip or versation. Sometimes they were de- prived c-f ail the good things which appeared on the table, and f creed to make a meal of bread and milk, and I have seen' just one such punishment break a child of upsetting the calm of the dinner-table. Boys soon acquire an Indian-like at- titude towards prhysical punishmemt. They often boa*t of the "lickings" they can take without shedding a tear. If such a method of punishment is resorted to, a a child grows oWer the will have to be more and more in order to hurt the child i to make him penitent. Even so, peniterfoe is not always gained by such means and atubborness and sulki- nesa alone result. What does a child learn from physi- cal punishment? In the main he learns not to do certain things for fear of being hurt by someone stronger than he. His actions are governed not by the desir* to do right, but by the fear of being caught doing wrong. When mother-cat considers it time to wean her kitten, she spits at them, cuffs theon, eende them flying right and left when they continue to annoy a cat lacks the id her kittens of children.

For many years Inventors have been trying t.o produce speaking films, and it to hoped that a solution of the prob- lem will be found In the use of a crys- tal known us nivtlmonlte, which is found In Japan and liorneo. Scdenttots have succeeded in photo- graphing sounds such as tin- voices of dim actora. but they have had great d'irliculty In reconverting Uies Him re- cords into speech or song. KfM-cntly experiments have been car- ried out with Boleniuin, a metal which is so sensitive to light that, us the photographs of sound are pas-seirover it. the variations in their density cause electrical variations in tti selenium. These opwRte a loud-speaking tele- phone, thus reproducing the sounds. The disadvantages of Kolenluin is that it gets exhausted long before the time 'required for an ordinary film to be shown. Antimonlte lasts longer and i.s said tn respond to the changes of light with extraordinary speed. Generally the child has been allowed to go to the limit, so far as naughty actions are concerned. Ho has been spoken to again and again, and has merely grown naughtier all the time, the mother's patience is , she is angered by his dis- , and in that mood it affords her unbounded relief to administer a sound whipping or spanking. She works off her angi-r by raining blows on the body of the child and then, flushed and excited, returns to her | other duties, quieting her conscience; with an oft-repeated: "Well, I guess that will teach him a lesson! He won't think he can walk over me again. She does not stop to consider whether physical punishment is just what the child needs, but resorts to this mode of punishment, because in her angered mood it is the easiest one to apply. All children more's the pity! j have to be punished at times. They come into the world little untrained tilings, and there is u long, hard road i to travel before they emerge into] manhood or womnnliood. The sec-oml i year of life has always seemed to me] the hardest. During the first year| not a great deal has been desired by the child: it is convpara/tively easy for a mother to be firm and for her baby to be "good." But beginning with' the second year, when thc child be-j gins to toddle ubout and wants to] play with and handle things lovd' find j out about this and that, a struggle be-1 gins. Mother's desires and baby's de-i sires continually clash. One kind of] mother, at that stage, will prant al- most anything in order to forestall the cry that is almost certain to ensue when Bomethingr is denied. The other kind will be firm and patient despite howls of protest. The first mother j will follow the easier course; the sec- ond will take the more trying, but in the end, the far better way. It may be true that sometimes a, physical hurt is needed to make a . child behave but I can not believe it.' Children are of a higher order than i puppies and colts and kittens. If one i is willing lo hunt earnestly cnougl.j and to work patiently enough, surely some better method of punishment! can be found for every offence than corporal punislimeivt. Of course, the' otlwr methods are likely to take more time tlian that required for a whip- ping, but mothers who seek to bring ! their children up in tiho best manner' possible are not interested in the! "easiest way," but rather in the most effective way of handling their chil-! dren. Why hurt the body of a child be- cause he says "naughty words" orj talks back to you or calls you names? : It will take a little longer to \vah out the naughty little mouth with a| clean cloth or very soapy water, orj to seal the rosy lips together with court plaster or adhesive tape; but, if the child be endowed with his full , . >t be nece^ary for mothers " fathers t( >. treat their children as the J d !"'*< in , e f to teach them f - , tain lessons ' It is instinctive for the ' * h<; waa coMent to know the . hij;hest polnt meant (he mldd]e of ^ day had Com6i nnd thafwhen it was sinking towards wag Ume foj . hjm to his cave. many things which are instinctive in man, have ber>n, as man has advanced and developed, pushed aside for the use of better methods which his reason has prompted. When we act instinctively, we act immediately; when we use reason, we must take time. Seldom is corporal punishment inflicted without anger on the part of the parent, and when one is angry, his words can have no good lusting effect upon the child. But when one has decided upon a punish- ment that fits the misdeed, and goes about its execution in a calm, deliber- ate manner, albeit a firm, determined one, woids of correction or advice will usually make a deep impression upon the child. It is by no means the easier way, but, judging by the re- sults obtained by those who have faithfully studied the faults wf child- hood and their correction, it is by ftir the better method. Take time and thought before cor- recting the faults and errors of child- hood, choosing tho punishment which your mtelUgetu-e tells you is best and avoid traveling along the line of least resistance. A Success and Happiness Maker. There is no .such protection against all sorts of attacks, no such character insurance as a clean record. How of- ten In our courts the bad record of a prisoner has told against him; has proved the turning point with the jury when a clean record would have saved him fioni imprisonment. Many a time the sentence of a youth in a criminal court la due largely to his bad record. Thc mere fact that he was known to be a member of a certain gang when the crime of which he is accused was committed and that he had a bad re- putation behind him, has turned the scale against htm. On the other hand, time and again, when circumstantial evidence has pointed to a man's gui!t, his clean re- cord, hia reputation for honesty and -iin.u'1- dealing has saved him, be- cause, nobody believed he could do such a thing as was charged against him. It did not tally with his record. "Keep your record clean," was John B. Cough's constant advice to young men. There is no greater aid to hap- piness and successs than a good repu tatlon. i dow of his spear standing upright In ! the soil. From this shadow he con- ceived the idea of the oldest of all I clock-), the .sundial. But it hod one serious disadvantage: it marked only I the sunny hours, taking no account ol those that passed by night. His next Idea was the water-clock, which has been In use among the pea- , plea of the East for more than four j thousand years. -This consisted of a j vessel filled with water upon whose surface was a float provided with a long peg. A hole !n the bottom of the ' vessel allowed the water to escape gradually, lowering the* peg as its 1 level sank. The peg was marked off Into divis-ions., each of which showed the distance fallen in one hour. A glance at tho height of thie peg above the rim of the vessel shewed the exact j time by day or night. Next came the hour-glass, one form of which is still used to measure, the three and a .half minutes needed for boiling an egg. This wan followed by the hour-candle, a "dip" divided into rings, each of which represented an hour's burning. The mechanical clock was s^lggested by the human pulse. If you know the rate of your pulse you can measure off a minute quite easily. Make an instru- ment that will swing, beat, or tick in the same consistent way, and the clock comes into being. The problem was solved when some- one got the Idea of tbe pendulum by watching the rhythmic swing of a ;n i ' V plumb-Hue. Horse-riding, ais a circus perform- ance, is stated to h.xve lout its popu- larity. Audiences, used to dodging motor-cars, call for somcth-ny; move exciting. Ut* Mlnird'* Liniment for the Flit punishment will mean far more to him | than a whipping. If little lijinds continually slap, is it not more of a punishment if they are tied rather than if they are also slap- ' ped? The same method of punish-; ment applies equally well with kick- ing feet. A child takes it to lie-art keenly if he is caught in disgrace. ' Any amount of effort would lie exert- , cd to "be good" rather than have any one outside the family soe him with hands or feet lied, or mcuth sealed. : Misbehaving at table is another naughty trick. How many times have I feen children cuffed and slajipcd, and heard them scolded for ''acting ; up" at meal-time! Yet how seldom ! have I seen effective punishment foi' those misdemeanors. If swore enough, the punishment may compel obedi- ence for the remainder of that meal, but as soon as the next meal begins, the child is ready and willing to run the risk of a few slaps and cuffs for the sake of "acting funny." But I have i?ecn children who be- haved badly at l.lie family table com- pelled lo eat their meals alone and out of rnge of tbe meal-time cwi-| Motor Notes. She "Tom's jut bought a Ford-- yon rs?"
