O MANY of the chace occurrences | which mar the child's normal progress toward good habits of all] kinds would be dropped quickly if mothers had the good sense to ignore | them. Nothing haloes bad behavior | and inspires its repetition like pun- ishment. Apparently punishment—being un- pleasant—should deter the child from | further acts of the same kind. In 2 theory it should; in practice it does | not. On the contrary it puts a| premium upon bad behavior. Having erred and been punished the child | is relieved of any further responsibil- | ity for that kind of behavior. He has | taken his punishment and so the slate is wiped clean. He can go out and | #in some more. After punishment, the child too often makes the discovery of how he can get “mother's goat. Anger is an illuminating thing and destroys what can be’the parent's chief de- | joints of the antennae that form the marked with a skull and cross-bones. | The females in this family are not so brilliantly colored, but they man- age to carry out the side view of & dog’s head. Among the yellow and white tribes of butterflies this®is the Southern | member. Sometimes many of them | become ambitious and travel far from home. They have been seen as far North as New York City, New Hamp- shire, Wisconsin and Iowa. Here there will be only one brood a year, while in the South there will be three. This butterfly belongs to a tribe that is not only abundant but conspicuous in their coloring. So you will have little difficulty finding some member this Summer. The gradual enlargement of the club and the stout jaws are distinctive features noticed particularly by ento- mologists. They are all sun worshipers and great flocks of them may be seen to- NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, Children ly (Meganostoma mia.) gether. Their bright yellow coloring is a striking contrast to the velvety black. The middle of the front wiags has a broad band of yellow. There is a black margin on each side. The yellow outlines make a noticeable sil- houette of a dog's head. The black eye-spot is in just the right place to give doggy an eye. In some the re- semblance is very laughable. You will enjoy comparing several of them, for no two are identical. This is true among all of Nature's children. The offspring hatch from eggs placed on its favorite host plant. They soon step out of their shells and are cylindrical-shaped caterpillars that have vast appetites for the tender foliage about them. In a few short | weeks they mature and change into the strange and characteristic chrys- alis. The head projects into the shape of & cone, the back is so curved that the side view of the chrysalis has a remarkable appearance. The California cousin is the most beautiful member and the only mem- ber to have pink and purple irides- cense. You have to inspect him more closely for the dog's head.' The fe- male is very different, too, in her plain yellow wings marked with a round black eye-spot near the center of the forewings. Their story is sim- ilar to that of their Southern cousin’s. fense against the child's acts—her | apparent indifference to them. Mis- | behavior loses its flavor when no one seems to care | Also, punishment makes the child mad and. when one is mad, child or adult, the next step is to do some- thing that will arouse a like emotion | in the other fellow. To perpetrate more mischief is calculated to ac- complish that purpose. None of this is clear to the child himself. But any parent who will take the trouble to analvze the re- sults of punishment will have an opportunity to see what is happening. She will note whether the punishment ended the bad behavior permanently or only for the moment. She will note whether the child’s | reagtion to the punishment was acute vesentment. She will note whether the child repeated the act with no observable resentment toward parent but just as if the punishment had never been given. She will note whether the child is being deliberate- 1y disobedient with the full intention of “getting back” at her. When the mother will honestly ob- serve and evaluate the effects of the punishment she doles out she need not ask any one but herself whether it is really corrective. She may de- cide that it were better to ignaye some chance bad behavior rather than actually to encourage its repe- tition by punishing. e (Copyright. 1935.) Beaury Hint.

HE following anecdote, which is supposed to have actually occurred, treats of a Los Angeles bridge expert This gentleman had the failing of many of the Eastern elect in that he used to suffer a relapse every time a difficult hand turned up. For what semed like hours to his weary oppo- nents, he would. weigh every possi- bility carefully before touching a card During this brown-study period, it | was as much as a cohort's life was worth to disturb the master. | One day the expert painfully ar- rived at a six-spade contract. The | minute the dummy went down he | was kind enough to inform his adver- | saries that the hand would probably | | take quite a bit of figuring | “Let us know when you're rend,\'."i | they said briskly, getting up and leav- | ing the expert alone with his thoughts. | Fifteen minutes later the master be- | | lieved that he was beginning to see | daylight at last. The question was | whether East had four or six clubs. | | He was just doping out a play that | would cover both distributions, when | there was a terrific earthquake shock, | a rumbling of the building, and the | master found himself on the flbor,‘ with the remnants of the chair wrap- | | ped around his neck. | | Angrily addressing an unseen provi- | dence, the expert shouted: | “This has gone far enough!

It seems a shame to | brush away the cobwebs that girt it around; but somewhere, somehow, there may be an individual who has not yet heard it. It deals with a timid, shrinking soul and his Amazonian partner. | After sorting his cards the mild- mannered one bid a club. His partner responded with one heart. He ven- tured two clubs. “Two hearts,” said ‘hls partner. He tried again, and his | partner took out to three hearts. The Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, ashington The devices here shown are the authentic armorial bearings of the distinguished Wassyngton family of England, and their descendants in America who have played such an important part in the history of this Nation. ‘The name Wassyngton was an early Saxon one existing in Britain even before the Norman conquest. There is also a village in England called | Wassyngton, chartered by King Ed- | ward in 973 A.D. This village, now called Wharlton, is located in the North Riding of Yorkshire. | The ancestral home of the English Washingtons was Sulgrave Manor, a beautiful estate in Northamptonshire built by the Hon. Laurence Washing- ton, mayor of Northampton. The | first representatives of this family in America were John and came to Virginia during the early | very active in the Colonial wars in Virginia and Maryland.

C., THURSDAY, The American home of the Wash- ington family was Wakefield, in ‘Westmoreland County, Va. It was there that George Washington was born and the house is now restored and preserved as a memorial to the “first in war, first in peace and the first in the hearts of his country- men.” Much has been written about the life and character of George Wash- ington, but comparatively little has been told of his brilliant ancestry. Authentic genealogy has traced his tocracy, nobility and royalty. His line has been accurately proved to descend from the Saxon Kings of England, Kings of Scotland and mon- archs of France and Spain. His an- cestry is traced through two lines to Alfred the Great of England. He was a lineal descendant of Hugh Capet of France and King John of England. | He derived his blood from the great of the earth and throughout his life he maintained the dignity of his dis- | tinguished heritage.

Rumblings are heard among the commencement addresses in our Digher institutions of learning. Rum- blings that indicate a growing dis- satisfaction with all that goes on under the name of education! Es- pecially higher education, for the reason that its values are put to the test immediately. As for the elementary school, criticism is nat- urally withheld on the ground that there is plenty of time to correct its shortcomings, if any. Just what is a school anyway?

Despite the stony glares his partner was directing at him, he went back to his own suit at the level of four. His partner folded her cards quietly and placed them on the table.
