( Things have slowed down a bit lately, In several of the basic industries. But there's nothing in the situation to make us uneasy. All indications are that the slow-down is temporary. Business is a lot like a man hiking (across the continent. He can walk . ' . it 1 T i-m ntnn fast jUSt SO long, UWO B una tu BujM and rest. That s the real nusinesh situation production was on too big 'a scale, so now there's a lull to "size things up." These lulls come periodically even during long-range periods of pros- peiity. Trale goes up ana down. 11 always has, and it always will. Take steel. This giant industry " is operating at about 80 per cent of capacity, may 8; But in recent 'months production was smashing all 'record r,. Now the industry slows I Then, too, buyers are Duying nanc:- jto-mouth, holding back for lower prices. Makers are slowly muKing ! concessions small price cuts to serve as bait. This also is a perioui- cal and inevitable reaction. When pric.-s stabilize, lots of orders. Auto industry' also is quieter. Buy ing movements by the public come in waves. The last big wave, during January and February and March. made the factories turn out more carx iiiiau ever ueiure. A lull now. but only temporary. Place your bets on another big buying movement, to A lot of lesened activity in busi ness generally is seasrna! Mwavs I A winea ai this time of year. That's one reason why coal production is Si low.' Spring always brings i dull spell. Furthermore, there's a tre mendous over production of coal and no national strikes in sight to create a shortage. But business leaders pre expecting good times. They're getting ready for it providing the capital to enr ry on work. In April 29S miliion dollars' worth of new stocks and bonds were floated, compared with 305 millions in April last year. In the last three weeks of April (latest figures available) the whole country loaded and moved 2.G20.21S cars of revenue producing frcigh. This was a bit less than in the cor responding period, and 120 in 192: and 111 in 1921. This is the long range tendency, not only in rail traffic but in gen eral business. That's what really counts -me ipn?r range activity, no: temporary lulls. : o : MAKING A CHILD BEHAVE. A shrewd mother writes. "Th( best way to punish children is to make them punish themselves. My little boy, in rage, grabbed a dish from the table and shattered it tc fragments on the floor. Instead of spanking him, I made him smash the toy he loves best a little horse that he hauled with a string." This mother cruel? By no means In making her child take his own medicine, she probably effected a per manent cure. A lad in a western town had a "perfect mania" for throwing stones through windows. His mother spanked him. His father thrashed Um. It did no good. He con tinued his stoning. Finally he land ed in juvenile court. The judge heard the case and sentenced him to throw 2000 stones under the eye of a policeman. At last report, the lad wouldn't throw a stone for pay. -Prince of Waies- 40496 PRINCE OF WALES is a black Percheron, weighing 1650 pounds and 162 hands high.

All care will be taken1 iJJJ"' acci,lents- but no "ability I BEN SPECK, Ow-ter faaVat We know of a little boy who simp ly would not behave at the table. Delighting in mischief and having a cruel streak in his makeup, he de libertely tormented his mother whom he knew to be nervous. One trick in his repertoire was tapping a wa ter glass with a spoon. Punishment seemed only to make him worse. He was cured by making him eat his meals alone until he was willing to behave. The effectiveness of punishing youngsters is frepuently due to the punishment being administered when the parent is in rage. For instance, many a father gives his son a trounc ing that he regrets when he cools off. His natural re-action is to atone to "make up" by gifts such as candy or coins. This naturally neutralizes the corrective effect (if any) of a whipping. Never punish a child when you are in augr. Think it over. No mat ter how a parent punishes, he should chatise or penalize only when in com plete control of his temper. More effective than any beating is to say to a boy: 'If you do so-and-so. you cannot go to the movies for a mouth. Now, it's up to you. If you want to punish yourself, go ahead and be bad." : o: New York is putting up a 1.

But Red Crown is so accurately balanced to give quick starts in any weather, burns up with such a slight residue of carbon, develops power so dependably and gives such big mileage per gallon that it would be a mistake to change it.
