TRAINING CHILD MIND.
Dr. D. A. Thom thinks we will do
tnuch towurd making the world bet
ter when we discover the reason for
social and economic failure and cor
t ect them at 5 years of ago instead
of 30.
Most of the causes of social failure
and many of those of economic failure
lie in the realm of bad mental hygiene.
'J here are certain fundamentals neces
sary to the mental development of
every human being that are more in
e vidence in children than at nny other
period in life. These are plasticity,
suggestibility, tmltutlveness, and love
of approbation.
These qualities. Dr. Thom says.
4 -oust be made use of in childhood if
the child is to develop Into a thorough
ly sane, poised, happy adult.
When the child begins to show un
desirable mental and social traits, the
wise parent or teacher will use those
qualities to overcome the traits.
Among such traits are jealousy, tim
idity, cruelty, self-consciousness, feel
ing of inferiority, suspiciousness, and
envy.
In Dr. Ilealy’s list are intense dis
satisfactions, grudge formations, im
pulses, and obsessions, mental con
flicts, Jealousies and emotional out
breaks.
** Dr. Thom, while not claiming that
the children with these behavior pc
luliaritles arc the persons who de
velop the mental breakdown in adult
life, says: "Yet it is not difficult to
see how closely these infantile reac
tions resemble the psyohoneurotic
manifestations In adult life and that
a fundamental lack of Inhibitions may
be a dominating characteristic in a
criminal career."
It Is too early to decide what is the
relation between the peculiar child
end the Insane adult. More data. must.
f be accumulated. Except In dementia
praecox. Investigation of the antece
dents of Insanity have not included in
quiry Into the normality or abnor
mality of behavior of the person In
childhood.
To my mind, the value of Dr.
Thom's contribution ties In what he
says of the way out. Two years ago
s committee trying to work out some
data on abnormal behavior of school
children was able to agree on some
recommendations for diagnosis, but
when It came to recommending treat
ment they came up against a stone
wall.
Dr. Thom's suggestions relate to
patha along which the minds of chil
dren naturally flow. Training which
makes use of these natural aptitudes
and qualities of childhood should lead
some of these children Into good men
tal hsblts.

"This is how I finally cured myself:
When T arise In the morning I drink

hives, and as I have been troubled
with them and fwund a cure for my

ADVENTURER
^ARTHUR SCOn BAILEY |
CHAPTER XIV.
A Question of Size.
Johnnie Gree^l liked to fish. The
fish he didn't catch were always far
bigger than any he ever landed. And
that's a queer thing about fishing.
Almost any fisherman will tell you so.
Now, Tommy Fox liked to hunt.
And there was this difference between
him and Johnnie Green. Lost fish
looked big to Johnnie. Lost game
looked small to Tommy.
For Instance: Tommy Fox spied
Plump Mr. Grouse sitting on a log.
"My! He's the biggest grouse I ever
saw!” he exclaimed under Ills breath.
And he began to creep up behind Mr.
Grouse.
Catch'ng sight of Tommy out of the
corner of his eye, Mi'. GrouSe went
up with a rush and a loom, as his
strong wings beat the air. He perch
ed himself in a tree nearby. And
Tommy Fox walked beneath it and
stared up at him.
“You're only a little fellow," Tommy
Fox called to him.
Mr. Grouse didn't even glance down.
However, he called to a friend of his
in a neighboring tree: "Did you no
tice a little yellowish-reddish dog
around her? There was one prowl
ing about, only a moment ago. Byt
he's so small he’s hard to see."
Now, Tommy Fox knew well I
enough that Mr. Grouse meant him.
He didn't so much mind being called
small. But to be mistaken far a
dog! Ah! That was enough to dis
please anybody.
“Pm rot a dog,” he barked in an
angry tone.
"Bless me!” exclaimed Mr. Grouse.
1 My Marriage Problems

\\ hat Madge Overheard When the
Reporters Talked.
\s Picky hurried away <o get the
, ar t had requested. I warily looked
around for the reporters who had
' been upon the train. I had wanted
them to see and hear my purposely
cordial greeting of my husband, but
1 dreaded any conversation with them
They had not entered the little sta
tion. and as I rose from my seat and
walked toward the door with the In
tention of finding out where they i
■were, the ticket agent, an undersized |
^inan. who looked"!** If ho would be j
better for a thorough dusting, !
tame out of his office and began to j
turn out the lights.
"Are you closing the stAtion?" I
asked.
The face he turned to me held the
conviction that I was the last word
in banal dullness, and I felt myself^
Inclined to agree with him.
“That was the last train," he an
swered with a finality which made me
pick up my bag and scurry to the !
pint form. 1 w as sure, that he would
make no bonea of locking me up with
the station should I not get out .
The lights on the platform also
had been extinguished, and I found
the night pitch dark with the intense
b'ackness which often precedes the
rising of a brilliant moon T knew
that there would be a moon later on.
hut the knowledge was small comfort
to me. as I made my way along the
side of the building in the direction
of Picky's departure.
A New Measuring Stick.
1 turned the corner of the building
and groped my way along It. remem
bering ths the roadway lay upon the
aide opposite to that from which I
had emerged, and that Picky un
doubtedly would drive up there. My
progress was absolutely rfoiseless, but
when I reached the second corner,
and prepared to turn it, I was startled
almost Into an exclamation by the
sound of voices on the roadway side
of the building, and the realization
that they were the voices of the re
port ers.
rpt-fy first Impulse was to travel back
to the other side of the building as
noiselessly a* I bad come, that I
might not encounter them. Then the
sound of my ow-n name told me they
had no Idea I was withhi earshot, and
► for a second or two prudence battled
with good-breeding, and prudence
won.
I had never thought I would listen
to a conversation not intended for
me. but I reflected that in the tacit j
armed agreement between the report- 1
era and me, in which they were seek
ing news concerning Dicky's escapade,
and X was keeping everything pos
sible from them, a condition had
arisen outside of my usual measuring
stick, and I applied a new and decid
edly different one which Justified my
eavesdropping.
“Well, she's queered any story!"
Mr. Rickett said. “We might as well
go home. You've got to slip it to her.
She's made it Impossible with that
dainty, half-casual, half-anxious greet
ing of hers for anybody to have the
ghost of a story foundation."
"She Has Self-Control—”
“Women are all alike,” observed
young Mr. Smythe with gloomy
philosophy. "Colonel's lady and
Judy O'Grady stuff all the time.
She's Just like the slum wife who gets
a heating and turns around and
kisses her husband. She hasn’t the
spirit of a rabbit, that one.”
"Do yau think so?” ftMr. Rickett
asked dryly. /
“Don’t youTr~~ \
“My son.” the elder man's voice
was a provoking drawl, “it’B ft brave
man who allows himself to form any
opinion of a woman's reactions to any
given condition. By the way, you're
the youngest of us. Suppose you
hunt up a garage and rustle a ear
to take us over to the resort where
| the Grahams are going.''
| “I thought you said just now we
[ might as well go home,” younp Mr.
Smythe returned sulkily.
"We might as far as Mrs. Graham
j is concerned,” Miss Cargill struck In.
"But there's always the chance that
the Foster is really In love with the
1 gallant -aviator. Xf she is. there may
' he unexpected fireworks.”
Young Mr. Smythe's footsteps died
j away completely before Mr. Rickett
. again spoke, and X guessed that he
had sent the younger man away pur
posely.
“Iton't you think Mrs. Graham is
in love with her husband?"
“Of course. Miss Cargill returned
with such absolute conviction in her
! voice that I wondered at her knowl
| edge “But she haB self-control
down to as fine a point as I ever
saw. Somebody or something has
I schooled her wonderfully. Why, cveu
; while she was kissing him tonight
j she was wafning him that we were

I doesn't kjxow whether she cares a bit
i or not."
“That little dog hasn't gone. Did
you hear his little hark?"
‘‘I dare you to come down here! ‘
Tommy Fox yelped at Mr. Grouse.
Safe on his branch, Mr. Grouse
cocked his head to one side and stared
at Tommy.
“Why, it's a puppy!” he called to
hte friend.
And that made Tommy Fox furious.
It was all well enough for his own
father to call him a puppy now and
then. But for a stranger like Mr.
Grouse to call him by that name was
more than annoying.
All this happened on the very edge
of the woods. Down in the pasture

an an$ry ton*
Tommy's mother heard him barking
and hurried up to sec what was wrong.
“Here’s the little puppy’s mother,
come to get him and take him home;’’
Mr. Grouse told his friend.
“What are you doing here?" Mrs.
Fox asked her son. “Don't you know
that you could wait a year for Mr.
Grouse to come dawn; and he wouldn't
come?"
“I didn't have to wait a year for
him to go up,” Tommy remarked.
Mrs. Fox only grunted.
“Do you think he'll be bigger in a
year, mother?" Tommy Inquired.
•'He'll never be any bigger,’’ she re
plied. "He's an old bird. And he's
fat as butter now. Yes! He's terribly
overweight this fall.”
“I'm not!” cried Mr. Grouse hotly.
“I'm not big at all. I'm eadtng light
ly. And I ni taking regular exercise.
Whenever anybody comes along I fly
Into this tree. When they leave I fly
down again. And if that’s not regu
lar. I’d like to know what is!”
"Wo won't quarrel about that,” said
Mrs. Fox with dignity. “Come!” she
ordered her son. “Never quarrel with
folks that get away from you. It’s
bad manners to quarrel. You ought
to apologize to this person.”
“Person!” shrieked Mr. Grouse.
"Person! I’ll have you know I’m a
gentleman.”
“Really?" said Mrs. Fox in a. mild
voice. “I’d never have guessed it.”

Mrs. Bates is s nice sweet-spoken
[lady, a widow of four years’ stand
[ ing, and 1 do say she's tust the one
for Dr. Waring s wife, fete lias dig
nity, and yet slie'S 1 nighty human.
Emily Bates was human. Not very
tall, a little ineltned to plumpness,
with fair hair and laughing blue eyes,
she was of a cozy, home-loving sort,
and her innate good nature and ready
tact were unfailing.
At Iirst she had resisted John War
ing's appeal, but ho persisted, until
she found she really liked the big,
wholesome man, and without much
difficulty learned to love him.
Waring was distinguished looking
rather than handsome. Tall and well
made, he had a decided air of reserve
which he harely broke through, but
which, Emily Bates discovered, could
give way to confidences showing
depths of sweetness and charm.
The two were happily matched.
Waring was 42 and Mrs. Bates half
a dozen years younger. Rut both
seemed younger than their years,
and retained their earlier tastes and
enthusiasms.
Also both wero hound up, heart
and soul, in the welfare of the uni
versity. Mrs. Bates' first husband had
been one of its prominent professors
and its history and traditions were
known and loved by the cheery little
lady.
Perhaps the only t erso.i in Corinth
who was not pleased at t o- approach
ing nuptials of John Waring and
Emily Bates was Mrs. Peyton. War
Ings present housekeeper. For it
meant the loss of her position, which
siie had faithfully filled for 1') years
or more. And this meant tlie loss of
u. good and satisfactory home, not
only for herself, but for her daughter
Helen, a girl of IS, who lived there
also.
Not yet had Waring told ins house
keeper that she was to be dethroned,
but she knew the notice would come—
knew, too. that it was delayed only be
cause of John Warring’s disinclination
to say or do anything unweicomo to
another.
It was a very cold lobruary alter
noon, and Mrs. Peyton was serving tea
fn the cheerful living room. Emily
Bates was present; au Indulgence she
seldom allowed herself, for she was
punctilious regarding conventions, and
Corinth people, after all, were critical.
The two women were outwardly
most courteous, and if there was an
underlying hostility it was not obser
vable on the part cl either.
‘‘I came today,” Emily Bates said,
as she took her tea cup from the Jap
anese butler who offered It, "because
T want to tell you. John, of some
rumors I heard in the town. They
say there is trouble brewing for you.”
” 'Trouble brewing’ Is such a pic
turesque phrase." Waring said, smil
ing idly, as he stirred his tea. "One
immediately visions Macbeth’s witches,
and their trouble brew’.’’
"You needn't laugh," Emily flashed
an affectionate smile toward him.
“when the phrase Is used it often
means something."
"Something vague, and Indefinite,”
suggested Gordon Lockwood, who was ]
Waring'* secretary, and was as one
of the family.
"Not necessarily,” Mrs. Bales re
turned: "more likely something defi
nite, though perhaps not very alarm
ing.”
"Such as what." asked Waring, and
from what direction? Will the fresh
men make me au apple pie bed, or will
the seniors haze me, do you think?
Be serious, John," Mrs. Bates beg
ged. "I tell you there is a movement
on foot to stir up dissension. I hoard
they woulq ci ntest the election."
“Ob. they can’t do that," Lock
wood stated; "nor would anybody try.
Don't be alarmed, Mrs. Bates. I’m
sure w-e know all that's going on—
and I can’t think there's any ’trou
ble brewing’ for Doctor Waring."
"I’ve heard it. too,” votichasfed
Mrs. Peyton. ‘‘It s not anything defi
nite, but there are rumors and hints'
and where there’s smoke, there’s
bound to be fire. I wish you’d at
least look into it, doctor.” .
“Yes” agreed Emily Bates, “do look
into it, John. Persuade him, Mr.
Lockwood. Not of his duty, he never
misapprehends that, hut of the neces
sity of looking on this matter as a
duty.”

and moment later a breezy young
chap mme into the room.
"Hello folkses," he cried. ‘ Hello,
Aunt Emily.”
Tie gave Mrs. Elates an audible kisa
on the pretty check and bowed with
boyish good humor to Mrs. Peyton.
"flow do you do, Uncle Doctor?”
and "Plow goes it, Lock?" he went
on, as he threw htmself, a little
sprawUngly, into an easy chair. "And
here's the fair 1-lelpn of Troy."
He jumped up as Helen Peyton
came into the room.
"Why Pinky," said she, "when did
you come?”
".lust now, tn.v girl, as you notmj
from your oriel lattice—and camp
running down to bask In the sunshine
of my smiles.”
"Behave yourself. Pinky,” admon
ished his aunt, as she noted Helen's
titilek blush and realized the saucy
boy had told the truth.
Pinckney Payne, college freshman,
and nephew of Emily Bates, was very
fond of Dr. Waring, his English
teaclmi, and as also fond, in Ills boy-'
ish way, of his aunt. But he was
no i-i. peeler of authority, and now, i
tIrat his aunt was to b« the wife of i
liis favorite professor, also the presi j
dent-elect of tile college, ho assumed i
an absolute familiarity w ith the whole I
household.
His nickname was not only an ab- i
brevintion, but was descriptive of bis !
exuberant health and Invariably red |
cheeks. For the rest, he was just a |
rollicking, care free boy, ringleader 1o
college fun, often punished, but. bob-1
tiling up serenely again, ready for;
more mischief.
Helen Pejtou adored the. irrepressi
ble Pinky, and though he liked her.
it was no more than he felt for many
others and not so much as he had
for a few.
Tea, Mrs. Peyton? Oh, yes, in

three sugar. And toasts—and cakes—
oh, what good ones! What a tuck!
Alma Mater doesn't feed us like this!
I say. Aunt Emily, after you are
married, may I come to tea every day?
And bring tlie fellows?”
“I’ll answer that—you may,” said
John Waring.
“And I’ll revise the answer—you
may, with reservations.” Mrs. Bates
supplemented. “Now, Pinky, you're j
a dear and sweet, hut you can’t an- j
nex this house and all its affairs,
just because it’s going to he my I
home.”
"Don’t want to, auntie. T only
want you to annex me. You'll keep
iho same cook we have at present, j
won't you?”
lie looked solicitously at her, over |
a large slice of toast and jam he was .
devouring.
“Maybe and maybe not,” Mrs. Pey- ,
ton spoke up. “Cooks are not always
anxious to be kept.”
“At any rate, we’ll have, a cook,.
Pinky, of some sort,” his aunt assured |
him. and the boy turned to tease Helen j
Peyton, who was quite willing to be I
teased.
“I saw your beau today, Helen,”
he said.
“Which one?” she asked placidly.
“Is there a crowd? Well, I mean

"A straw to show which way it

the presidential chair with your pres
ent intentions.”
“My intentions?”
“Yes, sir; about athletics, and sports

"And what are my so-called inten

“They say, you mean to 'cut out.

"Oh, Pinckney, you know better

strenuous efforts to relieve it. con
tinues. due to continued unprecedent
ed freight offering of miscellaneous
character which is continuing to
break all records.
The car shortage which western

association shows a total of 16,1-0
locomotives of all kinds laid up for
repairs for -1 hours or over, or a per
centage of S3.5 per i ent of Hie total
locomotive equipment of the roads.
This situation is credited to the result
of the shopman's strike.

of 4.05 per cent on their tentative
valuation as compared with 5.01 per1
cent for October a year ngu.

compared with the same months tart
year, while operating expenses totaled
$3,639,371,000. a decrease of 6.1 per
cent compared with the same 10
months in 1921.
Tho explanation 1* made by the

proximately an increase of 7 1-2 per
cent over October of last year in the
amount of freight traffic carried by
the railroads In October, operating
revenues shoyved only an increase of
2 1-2 per cent due to reductions in
freight rates that have been made
since one year ago."

their equipment Is the fact that while
expenditures for maintenance of way
and structures In October totaled $68.
500.000, or 5 per cent less than ex
pended for that purpose In October of
last year, expenditures for sn>nlntc
nonce of equipment amounted to $130
