So both were fighting for her, and each was sure that if he cbuld win the fight he would win her. Impy was growing short of wind. He ing. Fear gave Impy speed. How his small legs did move! The next time he looked over his shoulder the stranger had stopped. Impy stopped then. He just had to. He needed a wee bit of rest. The strange Chipmunk said a lot of unpleasant things. He warned Impy never to come that way again. He told Impy that if ever he caught him again he would kill him. Impy said not a | word. You see, he felt disgraced. He | wasn't disgraced at all, for he had done | his best; and no one who does his best |is ever disgraced by failure. However, Impy felt that way. He ached all over. His coat was torn. He was a sorry-looking Chipmunk. He wanted to get away somewhere and hide. He looked around hastily to see if little Miss Frisky was watching him. He didn't see her, but he did see the strange Chipmunk go swaggering along toward the place where he suspected little Miss Frisky was hiding. Poor Impy! You see, he really was very much in love with little Miss Frisky. It was bad enough to lose that fight, but it was worse to lose Miss Frisky; and he hadn't a doubt in the world that he had lost her. “Tll go 'way off somewhere” sald Impy to himself, “Yes, sir; I'll go 'way, 'way, 'way off. I just can’t stay here. Tl give up my new home and go 'way off out in the Great World and make me a new home somewhere.” Then Impy sadly made his way home and crept down into the bedroom he had taken so much pride in. And there he licked his wounds and then led up in his bed. e (Copyright, 1030.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Disciples and Health. ‘When & child is punished, should it be allowed to cry? Is the stifiing of any outcry or moan likely to have any bad after-effects on the child? The child in question, writes a reader, is § years old and has been repressed from any outcry and told instead “straighten that face” after all pun- ishment. The reader goes on to wonder whether the effort of the child to re- %renl any expression of emotion after a low or under fear is not going to have some injurious effect on the heart or in some other way. The discipline of the child has been most severe. Next the reader wants t know whether punishment right after a meal is apt to disturb digestion. Finally, is it a good thing to send a child to bed at night in tears over ishment, and leave the child to go sleep in that state of mind? Once a distracted mother wrote me about her wayward daughter, a girl 16 or 18 years of age, and in my answer I suggested that if the mother was unable to exact proper respect and obedience a whipping might do some god. For this I was severely censured some quarters, in fact, cast out as anathema, while from other quarters, notably a clergyman who has had much experience in dealing with incorrigible or delinquent children, I was con- nable physical punishment for children. I believe in capital punishment for murder and for several other heinous crimes. As correspondent pictures the case, it seems to me that the child is the victim of cruel and unusual punish- ment. rtainly & child should be al- hurt.

Such cruel repression is quite likely to impair the child’s nervous stability. Try it yourself, and see if you can straighten your face when Physical punishment, even sharp mental discipline, at or near the meal time, is sure to disturb digestion, and is therefore unnecessarily severe and cruel. Why, for that matter, you can work havoc with a child’s digestion and health by just fussing and scolding and coaxing and commenting about the child’s lack of appetite for this or un- due fondness for that item, at table. 1t is one of the first rules of health that the food must not be discussed at table; it is at least a matter of essential courtesy or good manners that pecu- liarities or abnormalities of or npfieuw are never to be noticed at table. The way to manage children who eat too little or too fast or just “pick” at this or that, or have finical ap- petite, is to provide wholesome and attractive food and set a minimum time limit at table—say 20 minutes— no matter whether the child whiles away the time eating or just waiting. A child should never be sent to bed in tears. That surely counteracts any good effect -Fk\lmuhmenc or discipline may have. e child should go to sleep kno that father or mother or ian has done only what was right, and resolved to avoid repetitions of e offense which led to the punishment. A system of penalties in the shape of denial or refusal of little privileges or pleasures to which the cl is more ess accustomed, of course, compen- sated by suitable rewards in the shape of special privileges or pleasures for behavior, will ordinarily accom- plish more than physical punishment can, Still, I believe physical punishment, properly administered, is one of the best remedies for disobedience and disrespect of farenul or other authority for children in their ‘teens.

Travelers in the desert often see In the distance what appears to be & pool, but, as they approach it, find it to be only a delusion. Such is the mirage of the desert, an illusory phantom that only disappoints and mocks the weary and thirsty traveler. The traveler experiences in the des- ert what many of us have experienced in common life. We are often led on by some mirage, which- promises to be a satisfying pool, but which turns out to be nothing more than an Aillusory phantom. Here is a man whose chief passion is to accumulate a competency. He labors and toils with that end in view. He imagines that when he attains finan- cial competency he will be at peace and can take life easy. At last he succeeds. But has he found peace? Has he found 1ife easy going, as he expected? Ask him and he may tell you that what he anticipated as a satisfying pool has proved to bt but a continuance of the sandy waste. And so all along the line. Men spend their time and strength and efforts pursuing one mirage or an- other, only to be disillusioned and dis- | appointed at last. We see all about us men and women hurrying forward toward some deceiving mirage. This is why many find life to be a series of disappointments. A flavor that wins the in- stant favor of children!

Ann had been an out-of-doors baby since the day she was born. The small amount of money which Lois had spent on clothes for her young daughter was almost inconcelvable. Shirt, diaper, band and socks had been her wardrobe during the greater part of the day. She did own a few simple slips and a few kimonos, but nothing else. 4 Lois used to tell Roger that never again would he be able to talk about the high cost of feminine clothing. But Lois knew that there were days coming when she would have to put the small girl into more and warmer clothes. She found a soft bonnet with wash- able and removable soft silk ties. That was her first investment. ‘Then she bought some fine flannel and made some sacques and kimonos. ‘These would suffice for the first nippy Autumn days. It was on one of these days when there was a real tang in the air that she looked at “baby buntings.” ‘The saleswoman pointed out the ad- vantages. . “Pirst the bunting spreads open easily 80 that the child is laid right in. Then it is closed at the bottom so that the feet do not protrude and wave in the cold. Thirdly, it has no sleeves. If you ever have tried to get aimlessly waving arms into small armholes you will appreciate the lack of sleeves. Of course the arms and hands are kept as warm as toast inside the wrap. “Then the bonnet is a part of the wrap, 8o that there is one less garment to struggle with when the baby is rest- less and in addition there is no cold !hl:‘( can strike the back of the baby's neck.” These arguments sold the wrap to Lols. Then she began to hope for Win- ter days so she could take her little baby bunting out for an admiring world to see. (Copyright, 1930.) Cl_moohte Cup Cakes.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Shall a Girl of 18 Sacrifice Love to a Career to Please Her Family? EAR MISS DIX—AIl my life I have had the idea that I was to have a career, ‘and now when 1 am just at the age to decide what I am really going to do, | I have fallen very deeply in love. Personally I prefer the domestic life and like %o cook and keep house,-but what worries me is that there are so many people expecting something wonderful from me and I hate to disappoint them. I do | not want a career, and I think there are many more important things in life than fame and money. What shall I do? EIGHTEEN. Answer—You speak as if fame and fortune are something that you have | only to reach out your hand and take, and that your only difficulty is deciding what size laurel wreath you want and in what denominations you will take your money. Why, child, to win any sort of recognition from the world God must first have given you an especial talent, and then you have to put in half a lifetime of such grueling work and sacrifice as you have never dreamed of before you even make a dent in the public consciousness.

Every one of them lives the life of a martyr because she can't eat what she wants to eat, nor go where she wants to go, nor dance nor play as she would like to. She has to spend her life coddling her precious throat. y Do you think writers dash off a poem or essay or book when they are not | amusing themselves in some other way? Far from it. They drive themselves to their typewriters day after day, and the things that read so easy to you were sweated out in agony. Do you think the motion-picture actresses do nothing but make whoopee when they are not cashing their million-dollar salary checks? I heard one say one day that she would give a hundred dollars to eat all of the bread and butter she wanted just one time, but that it was in her contract that she had to keep a cer- tain weight and she had to go half starved. No slavery is greater than that of hthe nl‘"t‘ star, no labor more exhausting than that she undergoes while making er picture. The price of success is paid by every one who achieves it, in blood and tears. ‘Worse still, so many who do not achieve success pay the price without getting the reward. I have seen so much of this. So many girls who really had no talent who were trying to do things for which nature never intended them: so many girls with thin little parlor voices who were trying to be Melbas; so many girls who had only a schoolgirl's composition abllity who were trying to be writers; so many girls who could just recite pieces at the church entertainment who were trying to be actresses, and they were all driven on by their families at home, who thought that they were geniuses and expected great things of them. And these girls were working so hard and so hopelessly, they were strivin 80 futilely, they were so sick with disappointment that I felt tyhat somethlns should be done about it, and that there should be a society for the suppression of parents who decided that a girl baby is a world wonder, and bring her up to feel that she must do something remarkable to justify that great expectation.

FEATURES, Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN To College or to Work | The question before many a house| today is “To college or to work?” It is & question somewhat intensified in some cases by a falling off in the fam- ily income, due to you-know-what. | Education is not as cheap s it might be, and that's one reason why mothers should consider the college possibility a bit further. | With the exception of a few cranks and a few business executives in need of publicity, none questions the value of a college education any longer, either to a young man or & young woman desirous of a career. None who know question, either, the fact that in many instances more money is demanded by youths than is actually | required for the necessaries of an edu- cation. By pruning down the budget for col-| lege it may be possible ' . many house- holds to adhere to the original plan to send “him” or “her” to college. | He or_she should co-operate in the| effort. Nobody disinterested in educa- tion to the extent that he will not work | for it deserves it. That is hard but not cruel, College should mean work—work 'n-! ward an end. It is work, however, for Fh&ltl:fh one receives compensation later n life. | Assuming that the compensation will| materialize, why not extend the means of an education in the form of a loan,’ to be repaid when the education begins to show returns. The cost can then be regarded as an investment, not as an expenditure, This is all assuming that doing so works no hardship on the fam- ily or any of its members. Slow times do not usually last long, and when good times return college education pays bigger returns than ever. Frozen Fruit Custard.

Nucoa SPECIAL Finest Quality Nut Margarin~ OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Friendship, To_the Boys and Girls: There are two parts of your job— your job of growing up. There is the preparation—study and work that gives the skill and the power to work well. That is one half. The other half is the power to get on well with people; to_make people like you.

They can teach, or paint, or sell, or build far bet- ter than the next worker in their flelds, but they spend more time in bickering with people than they do in working, 80 they fail and have to be sold out. Getting along with people is an art by itself. It requires thought, and it has its own technique. But any healthy minded person can master the secret if he will. Of course, first of all he must wish to be friendly, desire to make peo- ple like him. Then he sets to work to bring about that liking and that friend- ‘The first rule is: “Think of the other rson first!” Keep yourself in the ckground. Listen to what the other person has to say. Good listeners are scarce and greatly prized. If you are engaged to work for the other man, take down his directions and do your very best to do what he wants done. You may think your idea is better, but unless he invites an expression of your idea keep it to yourself. If your work is good he will very soon ask your opinion and consider it worth while. But if all the time he is telling you what he wants done you keep telling him what he ought to want and how it should be done, he will shun you. The second rule I would offer you is this: “Keep your tongue under control.” Whenever you feel a smart retort rising to the tip of your tongue, bite it down. You will never be sorry for what you didn't say. Keep the smart things, the sharp words, the “plece of your mind,” for your private enjoyment. When you have thought them over a few times they will lose all their brilliancy and you will rejoice that you had sense enough to keep them to yourself, One more thing is highly important to you. Keep the debt in your favor. Try to do more than is asked of you. Instead of asking favors, grant them.
