REASONINO WITH. THE YOUNGSTERS. .
Ont of tht first lenona father! and mother! find
out, when they i about the really big builneaa of ,
railing children, ii not fo near everything nor ice all.
MAny little thing! must be! overlooked, for most of
childhood'! misdoing ii not the reiult of a perverse
ntture, but, on the contrAry, is the outcropping of
a commendable desire to find out or bt busy. With
tht Application of thii rule; however, must come no
neglect of duty when the' lerioui Aspect of the ques
tion present! itself. Good morals must be incul
cated, and many, are the wayi of doing thii. One of
'he moit luccessful is to reason with the youngsters,
presented a concrete illustration in terms they can
inderstand. Art example of thii method ii related
n thii story, taken from an eastern exchange:
One woman told how she had been annoyed
by a gang of kids who have committed depreda
tions In har orchard. She aaaembled a group of
tht marauders one day and tilked to them. "Now,
boya," she aald, "do your mothers make . nice
doughnuta and cooklea?" They enthusiastically
responded "yea."
"Well, now, , suppose that some day, your
mother, after working all the morning, had made
up a nice Jar of crisp cookies, end you were think
ing what a irood time you were going to have eat
ing them. .Then suppose that next day you were
off playlnsr ball and your mother had gone out
ehopplng, the klda from the next street ahould
sneak in and swipe all thoat cookies. What would
you think of them?"
The Indignation of the boys rose beyond all
bounds, and violent threat! were made of the" ac
tion they would take in auch A hypothetical case.
"Well, Bow, why would those kids be any worse
than you aro right now?" aaked the lady. "I have
worked,. Juat as hard to raise this fruit as your
mother would to make the cookies. Tou- have
spoiled my pleasure by coming here and stealing
it, lust as It some one had come in and atolen your
cookies."
The kids saw the point. After the lady had
showa her good feeling by giving them all a nice
doughnut, they walked off tn a humble frame of
'mind, and alnee then have made no trouble.
, Result! obtained by thii method are apt to bt life
long. Children are responsive, and as a former ichool
lcher wrote to The Omaha Bet last week, .they
requnt!y know far more than parent or teacher
Mnpect. Appeala to their reason seldom fail, and
'heir tense of humor and moral responsibility it not
difficult to develop if the job is taken on with cor
net understanding of its purpose.

Somt very Interesting figure! la regard to human
lift havt lately been madt available, through com
parison of mortality lUtistirs. Maybt tht most
interesting Art those dealing with longevity, or tht
expectancy of lift. From tablet published by tht
Ntw York Mtdical Journal and Medical Record wt
learn that In two dtcadei tht txpecttney of lift hai

1910 it waa 51.8, and in 1920 it wai 54.3 year.
Reisonlng from thii An eastern writer hai curiously
calculated that by 1982 an avtragt expectancy of
70 yean will havt been attained, and, carrying tht
ratio along, ht conclude! that thlrty-flvt and a half
centurlei from now tht record of Methtwaleh, 969
yean, will bt tht Avenge span of ntan'i lift.
"Tht dayi of our yean Art three-score yean

son of strength they bt four-icon yean," tht tnd
la tht same, "for wt Art toon cut off And fly Away."
Perhapi no ont lubject hai occaiioned ai much of
peculation ai has human lift. Its purpose, ita
duration, iti source, ita destination, all havt en

ELLEN CONVEY'S REMARKABLE CASE.
What is Eljen Convey'a iccret?
She ii two yean pait the hundred mark In age,
and lies in the hospital, recovering from a broken
eg. the cheeriest of all the patients there. Ordi
narily, doctoVi coniider the fracture of an aged per
son'! bona an injury almost beyond cure. Nature
no longer supplies tht vitality needed for tht new
growth, and refuses to repair tht injury. For the
matter of that, very few live to bt 100 years old.
Yet here ii a lively old lady who laughs at both:
rules. She danced a jig the day she wai 100, and
ihe would have repeated it the day iht was 102, but
sht had met with the accident that stretched her in
tht casualty ward. Present indicatloni are; how
ever, ihat ihe will dance the delayed jig tht day ihe
103 yean old. v
What ii Yhe lecret of her long life; her high
spirits, and her inexhaustible vitality? She hai had
no injection of elixir of life, no insertion of monkey
glands, or other fantastic means of prolonging life
or rejuvenating aged and wornout faculties.' She
hai just lived a simple life, partaking of wholesome
but plain food, doing her daily task, and smoking
her pipe. Her mind is ai keenly alive aa her body,
for ihe ii abreast of the timei and knows what is
going on in the world, even if the does vote the
democratic ticket.
Scientists may ponder, .and- pseudo-scientists
speculate, over this remarkable woman. She is not
the oldest known, but she is one of the few to reach
her age, and retain her facultiei ai well as she hai.
If the lecret of her longevity and activity were to
become known,, what a change it might bring. Yet,
how many, could live to be as old as Mn. Convey,
and retain her sense of humor and proportion? It
might not be safe to make her lecret public property.
SOLUTION FOR DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
One of the standbys of the professional debater
f domestic affairs is the relation between the girl's
father and the young man who comei seeking her in
marriage. Jt matters not that these relations are
generally. of the most cordial nature; that almost
invariably the youth is welcome for himself, and
that, when necessary, the girl's father will do all
he can to aid them in getting a start in life. . Thii
latter disposition of a good-natured father-in-law
has. afforded more occasion for jovial jesting than
any other, and every now and then it hai presented
real problem for "the old man." Now comet an
nterprising advertiser, who haa a solution for the
whole thing. "For your son-in-law, he announces
he has an occupation that will enable the young
man to earn hii own living, and perhaps accumulate
lurplus. He hopea to Interest auch fathers-in-law
have sons-in-law who are not thriving as they
should. However, it is not likely that he will be over
rushed with applications, for one of the happiest
facta of our national life is that most of the young
men and young women who get married realise
what they are doing, and not infrequently the ion-
in-law can give father-in-law a considerable start
in a business way and then overtake him. Tht jokt

A Question of Courage.
Prim the Marlon liar.
President Harding haa aaked con
gress to enact laws that will protect
public interests In Industrial con
troversies, fluch legislation has al
ready met with objection from both
labor and capital. A prominent
government official discussing the
prealdent's requeat doubts that con
gress has the courage to comply.
If congress does not have the
courage, it'a high time the fact wero
known. It ia true that the national
capital ia filled with the "legislative
agents" of labor and the lobbyists
of capital, and that these have tre
mendous influence with many sen
ators and representatives. It Is also
true that the Injurious effects of
strikes and lockouts in essential pro
duction are plainly menacing public
Interests not represented at Wash
Ington. The duty of congressmen is
plain. Have they courage to per
form duty?
The majority of senators and rep
resentatlves whose terms expire next
March 4 are candidates to sucoeed
themselves. In the primary cam
palgns they have taken positions on
prohibition, the nonus and other
such matters. In the election these
Issues will be less important aa the
people are already beginning to feel
keenly the influence of Industrial
strife, with prospects of paying a
still bigger price. With the voters
the main question concerning nomi
nees lor re-election will be "Did he
have courage to perform his duty?
Whether or no this congress has
courage will be decided by the vot
ers. 8ome who represent Industrial
districts where sentiment may op
pose the proposed legislation may
be re-elected, but even In these there
will be some risk. Those in districts
where . voters stand for majority
nils and public welfare, will-stand
the acid test. Consequently there Is
reason to believe that congress as a
whole will have the courage to en
act tne laws needed.
Men Want to Believe.
Prom the riatts Valley Neva (Seotts
bluff).
Churches may sometimes fall to
draw within their doors the crowds
to fill every place .in their audito
riums. Then we hbar the cry that
the church is failing. At times folks
y that religion is losing Its grip.
This, however, is error. The Indi
vidual church, as represented by a
paator with certain characteristics.
and a congregation with various In
dividuals who may not be personally
likable, may not draw into its fold
those who really yearn for religious
expression. That is the failure of a
man-made thing. Religion Itself.
in a God above, never falls. Men
have always wanted to believe
they have alwaya believed.
Now the thing that appeala to one
man as the expression of that long
ing within his soul, may not appeal
to another; and the thing that may
appeal to tna majority of us. a
church, a preacher, a choir, an au
dience, the singing of hymns, a cer
tain ritual, may have no appeal
soever to many people. True, if
they have rellKlntia instincts, and if
tney wish to Increase the power of
he church, hers la an organisation
formed for that purpose but many
there are who find themselves out
of sympathy with the churt h of to-
dav.
The men are the spiritual rustle
of the day. They want to hellove
In holy thlnga. and they do believe
In them. They want to he a part of
