At this period the child has hardly learned to think of himself: at all. He has simply breather an atmosphere. If this is consistently cheerful he grows into con-|, sistent cheerfulness and does not feel at home in any other mood. If the atmosphere is doleful, that mood seems natural to the child and it is hard to feel entirely like himself in hearty laugh- ter or jolly surroundings. It is easier to be serious or even solemn. But when the atmosphere is always charged ‘ with electricity and sunshine ig constantly inter- rupted by storm it is hard for the child tojfeel entirely at home in any mood whatever. And then, a little later, when he begins to as- sert himself, if he is constantly ‘crossed and op- posed by those he loves, chided for going his own way and bullied into submission to the will of others, a very definite conflict is set up within him. He wants to be “good” and obedient to win the love and praise of his elders. He also wants to go his own way in spite of them. He cannot do both at once, and he is uncomfortable whichever he does. So he alternates, humbly obeying for a while and then, when he cannot stand it any long- er, bursting out in defiant independence. It is the beginning of a weak and unhappy life; and the parents that make the atmosphere around a child should avoid it like the plague. / WASTED ENERGY When it comes to wasted energy, don’t forget to award a prize to the American Commission on Ireland, which is holding hearings in Washington expected to last a month. Despte its official-sounding title, the commis- sion has nothing official about it. It was organized at the instigation of a New York publisher. Regardless of one’s views on the Irish situation, it is hard to see what can be accomplished by an Trish investigation held 3,000 miles from the scene of its inqures. oreness can be the only result of such an “inves- tigation.” .There can be no worth-while accom- plishments. One is always justified in making enemies in a good cause. But making enemies without cause is the most unprofitable business in the world. Such dabbling interference and impertinence as that of the American Commission on Ireland helps neither Ireland nor England nor America, but simply stirs up needless enmities. The world laughed much at Henry Ford for trying to settle the war on his famous peace ex- pedition, but Henry at least went to the scene of activities. He didn’t settle it 3,000 miles away. For Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, who is to be a wit- ness, the world can have only the highest admir- ation. Regardless of whether her husband’s hunger strike was martyrdom or foolishness, re- gardless of whether his wife’s encouragement was| right or ‘wrong, the world can only admire the courage of.a woman who faced life’s greatest loss, steadfast behind a principle, unflinching in her belief in and devotion to the man she loved. It. is. too bad that her sympathies should be im-| posed on and her desire to help the cause which she believes, should be used to lead her before a commission whose findings will be valueless and| useless and whose activities will scarcely rise above being pestiferous. “SMALL” The average American hates to be considered “small,” and so he submits to many an imposition, thereby proving himself really small—too small of spirit to stand up for his riglits, and for the rights of his fellows. If the hotel installs a hat-checking gir', he coughs up a dime or a quarter, though he knows| perfectly well that the hotel is “working” him through his sense of gallantry and his dislike of appearing “small.” Tt the grocer or the ice company short-weighs hin, he says “Let it go,” though he is thereby cn- couraging crime by his moral cowardice, because he dislikes to appear “small.” If the public utility company raises the rates ar- bitrarily, or even illegally, it is an extraordinary man who will suffer himself to be sued in the interests of the comimunity and of his own rights, because he hates to appear “small.” - Editor | great pains to restore one cent which had been ever-paid him, such was this great man’s esti- , mate of a “smallness.” As a matter of fact it is the small man or woman who is so mortally afraid of appearing “small.” | The adequate man stands for his rights and resists the petty larcenies with which he is beset. Were it not for him, the country would be more graft-| ridden than it is. ’ THROWING A STEER Shorty Kelso of Horse Creek, Wyo., is the} champion steer thrower in all the land. Shorty threw a rambunctious steer in nine and two-fifths seconds, thus taking the record from Slim Caskey | of Witchita Falls, Tex., who did the job in ten and; three-fifths seconds. It may occur to you that the throwing of a steer in the fewest number of seconds isn’t a matter. to become wildly hilarious about. You may find mcre excitement on a football field, or at a base-| ball game. You, then, do not spend much of your) time in the famous ‘cow country” of the western plains. You, then, do not realize what a large achievement it is to rope and throw a steer in less | than 10 seconds. You probably could not do it in aj week. Nor could the editor. But that is no rea-| , son for not giving Shorty Kelso a round of cheers. The fact remains that when a man does any- thing better, or more quickly than it was ever done before he is entitled to credit. Pass a nice {medal to Shorty! \ THE.CHRISTMAS TREE , The flow of evergreens from their native homes to the markets of the world, to serve’ as Christ- |mas treesywill soon begin. This harvest, in Amer- ica, gerves to help out the funds of many people ; who live in the brush country. j The woodsman, with just about two slashes of a | keen axe, severs the stripling from the stump and} se converts it into a Christmas tree. Closely pack- ed in bundles the trees reach the wholesale mar- ket by the carload. Ultimately they come to Me: “ultimate consumer,” with bottom braces that give them firm footing, and ready to be decorated with candles, or when possible, by strings of min-| iature colored electric lamps. : i Who invented the Christmas tree is only con-| jectural. Even before Christ was born the Egyp-| tians decorated their home with palms as a sug- gestion of everlasting life. Martin Luther used a| Christmas tree decorated with candles for the pleasure of his children. The idea was taken up in | Germany and in the nineteenth ‘century it spread! custom of using the tree at the Christmas season in England was introduced when Queen Victoria was married to a German prince. | When there was a great migration of the Ger- man people from the fatherland to America they brought that beautiful custom with them. It has flourished here like the well-known green bay tree, and perhaps will be everlasting. A Christmas tree in every home, with the Star of Bethlehem shining a-top, might go far to spread the truth that Our Lord, the Redeemer, Liveth.

Farmers who bought land at two or three times its pré- war prices, on a basis of inflated commodity prices, are now facing payment for it on a basis of prices not much above ncrmal. Most of the land ‘that has been bid up to $400 or $500 an acre never paid more than a fair return on $200 an acie before the war, and cannot be expected to do much better than that hereafter, <i least for the next few years. The city spezulators who hold a large propor- tion of the farms bought at fanev prices need not be given any great amount of sympathy. They were primarily responsiblé for the absurd infla- tion to which so much farm land was subjected, and which played havoc with farm values gener- ally. They took a chance, just as they might have done in the grain market, and got stung. The farmer, professional or amateur, lured into buying at top prices, is a more pitiable figure. In hun- dreds of cases he must lose his farm, forfeiting what he'has already paid which represents the savings of years. It is gratifying to-know that these unfortunate all over Christendom.

Director of Nation-Wide Cam- paign for “Sinless Sabbaths” Outlines His Views as to an “¥deal Sunday” BY LORRY A. JACOBS,. N. E. A. Stati Correspondent New York, Dec. 8.—Rev. Harry Ly Bowlby, national secretary of the Lord’s Day alliance, who is directing a nation-wide movement for “Sinless Sabbaths,” outlined for me today his idea of “an ideal Sunday.” If; his plan was put into effect there would be but two things to do on Sunday—go to ciurch and stay home. t He would taboo: Movies, baseball, tennis, newspapers, balloon venders, stores, traveling, theaters, bootblacks, beaches, golf, concerts. delicatessens, resorts auto riding except to church.

This remarkable j invention not only increases the pow- ler of all motors from 30% to 50% j but enables every one to run slow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in the |coldest weather without previously i warming the motor. With it you can use the very cheapest grade of gas- oline or half gasoline and half kero- sene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline.

OHIO JUDGE WOULD REFUSE Cleveland, 0-, Dec. 8. — Common Please Judge ,A- J. Pearson advocates absolute deniaJ of divorces, regardless of what the alleged grounds for sep- aration might be. The occasion for the judge's posi- tive stand arose when a man wis cited for contempt of eourt for failure to pay alimony to his*first wife. In explanation, the man said that to pay the alimony would work a hardship upon his second wife and that he was not in a position to support, two families. | “If I sentenced this man for con- tempt”, said Judge Pearson, “I would be injuring two women. | Had ‘this man not been granted a divorce, he could have supported his first; wife as decreed by the court. “While refusal to grant a divorce may injure some'persons who are de- serving ofa separation, there would be less injury to society in general if divorces were absolutely denied to all. “In my (vinion divorces should be denied all persons regardless of the circumstances. “When a man who has failed to qualify as a good husband receiv: a divorce it permits him to fool some the woman it permits her to fool some unsuspécting man+-The result is that anothér divorce case will be filed in the court in a short time.” Judge Pearson said that if no di- vorces were granted children would receive better care. “If the parents remarry, the chil- dren, if there are any, seldom get as good care or attention as before,” was the judge's opinion.
