A mother of three kiddies won the prize, and here is her resolution: : “Resolved, That I will help my children become good citizens by furnishing them Supervised playgrounds. Playgrounds near their homes. There is a mighty lot in this “best thought” and it is applicable to every city in the land. The thought goes far beyond the mere pleasure of the children. It reaches to the better citizenship of all. It promotes assimilation and Americanizing of ever-crowding and clannish foreigners. It is the social, patriotic and moral duty of every community to give the chil- dren something far better than the streets in which to be children. Always Knowing More EN’S eyes have become fascinated by the up above. The deepest mining and drilling have not even scratched the down below, and yet tremendous secrets are hidden from science in the earth's depths. However, now comes an accomplishment by the salvage ship Blakely’s crew, who have salvaged a ship, in the ocean off Chile, at a depth of 318 feet, with the aid of a light invented by the Westing- house company. It may be the beginning of recovery of untold wealth and the delivery of the sea’s great secrets, some of which will explain mysteries of the air itself. Conquering sea depths is a matter of pressure-resisting apparatus, and the land’s secrets are protected by heat and scarcity of atmosphere. And when one compares the knowledge of today to that of a century ago, who may say that there is a limit to human genius? One of the greatest geniuses of our times, Edison, thinks that it is possi- ble to devise apparatus to receive com- munication from the dead.

Here's a lady psy. who says that ; “the reason children of today are bad is because their grandparents brought up their parents so badly.” Bright idea. And, logically, the great ndparents are likewise responsib| cause they did not ch the grandparents how to teach the parents how ach the children the way they should, but are not going. Come to think of it, and still sticking loyally to -psychological rules and regula- tions, the whole thing can be handed back to old man Adam and Mrs. E There it may rest, in all probability, for it is not likely that the psychologists will feel inclined to go further and place the respon- sibility on the Providence that created the first gentleman and lady. But it is all tommyrot—ali profitiess Nothing is solved — nothing is improved. If the fathers and the fathers’ fathers were egregiously derelict, the present is benefited not a whit by the knowledge. The sins of yesterday, whatever they were, neither palliate nor correct the sins of today. A post mortem, no matter how thoro and complete, never saved a life and never will, We will never get any- where worth while by passing the buck to our grandparents or anybody else.
