Burgess Chance doth often pass as wit In one who -makes the most of it. —Old Mother Nature | Little Mrs. Peter was fully aware of what she was doing. She knew that she was taking a very great risk, but life for most of the little people on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest is made up of one risk after another. If Whitey, that little white-coated son of hers, could ‘safely reach the dear Old Briar-patch, any risk would be| worth taking, she felt. She was a little startled to find Reddy Fox was s0 much nearer than she thought he was. It meant that she had to run her very fastest and to dodge her very best, she would have to reach a place of safety very soon. Twice in the first few minutes she escaped only by dodging. Once Reddy srapped her up, as he overran: her when ehe dodg2d. All the time she was working around towards that Woodchuck’s hole from which ‘Whitey had run. If she could only reach that, she would be safe * Now, Reddy Fox knew all about that *Woodchuck's hole. He had looked it all over many times. saw at once what Little Mrs. was trying for. “No, you don't!” chuckled he. “That hole isn't for you. I know just ds well as you do that you would be safe there. All T need to do with you Peter is to keep you running a little| longer.” | Now, Little Mrs, ePter was get- | ting short-winded.

Mothers are well aware of the unwisdom of ‘its ‘use as well as the futility, but they keep on saying “Don’t do this” and “Don't do that" because they know no other way to handle an undesirable situation. It is perfectly natural for mothers to acquire the on’t” habit. It starts in the beginning from an o ér-developed sense of responsibility. As a matter of:faet it becomes so reason for it at all. There are times when “don’t” is necessary, of course. But it is only a red-light for one corner. A moth. er will have to keep on’ flashing it. The child will .never learn to direct himself if mother, the ‘traffic cop, is going to do it -for him. But there is another vital reason for eliminating the word. Every time “don't” is used some activity in the child is stopped. And when a natural impulse is stopped (curi- osity is commonest) something else stops. A little twig of self- confid- ence in his brain withers and dies It these little twigs keep on with- ering and dying it will not be long until he is so.full of inhibitions (thwarted natural impulses) he will be entirely lacking in those qualities that make for strong Character and leadership. He will be lacking in initiative, an imitator, over-cautious, perhaps a coward. . The old saying that Johnny Don't’ will never be president holds a great {truth. Every parent must use his own judgment about the safety point at which childish experiment should be stopped. but psychologists tell us that it is better to allow him te in- dulge his curiosity than to curb it. His mental and character growth de- pend enormously upon natural im- pulses that are allowed to be car- ried through to a finish. The entire character make-up is built upon ex- perience. Suppose a child has a hammer. Don't snatch it from him and shout, “Don't do that, Johnny. Of course it he is banging on the piano keys, or making dents in the dining room table you can't be ex- pected to cheer him on. But in- stead of saying ."don’ ay, “‘Come here, Johnny. Let us hunt up an Take Johnny to the back porch and let him go at it. He'll pound his fin- gers most likely and cry. But he has had the satisfaction of seeing his experiment carried through and his curiosity satisfled. He may nev- er touch a hammer again or if he |does it will be with prudence; per- haps it takes an ‘enormous amount of courage for him to pick up the hammer the second time. But if he does: think what is gained! Cour- age! He has encountered a fear and overcome ‘it. No wonder some children grow. up to stupid nonentities. They are nev- er allowed to learn. Children learn almost entirely’by experiment. Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISRBEIN Editor Joumll of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine During the past few years new: paper health columns, popular mag- azines and much advertising matter have urged on the public the im- portance of plenty of sunlight not only for the purpose of preventing rickets in growing children, but also for such general effects as sun- light may have.in building up the resistance of the body to infectious disease. It is known that sunlight acts upon the substance ergosterol to produce within it vitamin D. Hence already, there are available in drug stores concentrated prepa- rations of vitamin D. made in this manner. Furthermore, Steenbock of Wisconsin developed a method ultra-violet of such energy, and in this way | supplying the body with its vita- min D. Apparatus Finally, numerous methods are available for giving directly to those who wish it concentrated sunlight from ultra-violet ray ap- paratus. Many physicians have = viewed with alarm the possibility that too much vitamin D will thus be avail- able, not only to growing children but to the public in general, and that harm may result from over- dosage. In Germany recent investiga- tions have dealt ‘with the question of how much vitamin D is danger- ous. Feeding experiments on 'rits and mice indicated that the (fatal dose is very large; indeed, about ten thousand times the dose neces- sary to heal disease. In human beings at least twenty times the usual dose daily over a long period of ' time would be necessary to induce setious symp- toms. Obviously therefore ‘the damage is not great so fis as we now know from' the amount of ultra-violet rays, irradiated foods, or vitamin D that the human be- ing may receive y Vitamin Kinships It is, of course, possible that relationships between the vita- mins are importarit, and that too much of one with too little of an- other may ' produce effects of which we now have no' knowledge It is possible. that the anxiety of manufacturers in promoting these things may lead: them to place ‘on the market ‘far too many irradi- ated products and thus - affect the infant to its disadvantage. > The public will do well to* await the arrival of ‘actual kmnowledge before considering the employ- ment of such foods and ' methods as panacea.

That really should be the motto for folks who want to enjoy th> water. We are often asked. “Isn’t it just terribly hard to swim as you girls do?" We answer. "It is easy, because we learned the correct way first. Therefore everything we have done since has helped us” For you merely lost time trying to just flounder in the water expecting to find fins. A few simple directions, it grasped perfectly, can teach any- one the principles of swimming. Men and women take infinite pains to learn how to drive off in golf. They will spend days learning just how the different clubs should Je held and swung and what the game is all about. Learn the Rules The same is true in tennis. The rules are learned first.

UP—The last days of Shanghai as a paradise for working girls are at hand, say resi- dent observers who have watched the gay, slow-moving city of a few years ago lose its smile under the grip of western efficiency. Once a mecca for girls from all countries seeking frcedom household cares, a fair wage and easy hours, the business community of Shanghai has been obliged by competition and the rush of affairs to adopt the habits of an American town. Here was a place where life's drudgeries could be turned over to a willing Chinese servant at small expense and women's tailors were plentiful to carry out one's fashion whims at unbelievably low prices. Salaries were good and there was enough of the social whirl to com- pensate for the unfortunate acei- dent of having to work for a living. One could have pleasures which in other parts of the world were within reach of but the strictly lei- sure classes. Bosses were gener- | ous and easy-going. for the most part capable of understanding that tea-dancing must be done and that office hours must not be too rigid or business demands too insistent. Jobs for girls are ecarce where once they were plentiful. Secreta- rial positions are almost never open to a newcomer and stenographers are not in the demand. There are more stenographers to be had and competition for jobs is keen. In addition . there .are now hundreds of girls whose homes are in Shang- hai who are willing to work for less pay than her foreign rival and she gets many of the jobs once going to girls from abroad. With Shanghai steadily growing, housing conditions for working girls are not as pleasant as years ago when life was at a slower pace. The girls’ hotels and clubs and similar organizations of other me- tropolises are not to be found in Shanghal. Little attention has been paid to the welfare of the Shanghai girl who works for a living. Shang- hai has {ts boarding houses but as yet there is not even a 'symptom of modern solutions for housing the business girl, as is being done in other parts of the world. But in spite of these adverse con- ditions for business girls, there is no letup'in the supply of those who would try ‘their hand at - the-life. The - employment bureau: of the Young Women's Christian associ tion is seeking to help. The employment secretary daily receives letters from almost every country of the globe telling of girls with business , qualifications who would come to Shanghai to get-a “job,” and to enjoy the alleged de- lights of the Paris of the East. Without = exception. now, the an- swer, to ‘these letters -is “Don’t Is The Best Exercise.
