TRADE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
How about business conditions? (
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

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

prices. Makers are slowly muKing

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

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.

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."

IGH quality pigments and oils

If al tering the proportions of low and higher

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.
Innumerable experiments have proved that you can
neither add nor take away any fraction of Red Crown

Drive in to any Red Crown Service Station and fill up
