MODERN MIRACLES
Is there a miracle mentioned
anywhere in sacred or profane his
tory comparable with that which
enabled Bell, the inventor, to stand
at a telephone instrument in New
York and make a speech which
was heard simultaneously by over
5,000 people in eight cities ranging
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from Boston to Atlanta. In
cidentally the auditors heard
“Dixie” played in Atlanta and
“Yankee Doodle” played in Bos
ton. The improvements in the
long distance telephone will enable
Chauncey M. Depew in New York
city to make an after dinner speech
to the assembled members of the
Chamber of Commerce in Seattle.
If Marconi’s invention had been
given 1,900 years ago Paul might
have avoided shipwreck by the re
ceipt of a wireless message warn
ing him of the coming tempest.
THRIFT TAKES EFFORT.
Thrift seems an easy and pleas
ant thing when we read about it in
articles and periodicals devoted to
encouraging the practice of saving.
The fact is, of course, that it is not
very easy, that it does mean self
denial. But very often it is denial
of something we do not need very
much, or have rather unworthy
reasons for wanting. Probably the
chief danger making against thrift
in American homes is the struggle
to keep up with some other family
e joying a much larger income,
says the Milwaukee Journal. This
extends all the way down, from the
man in his club, the wife in the
parlor, the son in college and the
debutante daughter, to the children
in school. If Johnny goes to school
with boys who apparently have un
limited spending money, he doesn’t
like to have it thought that his
papa is "stingy;” his parents, often
unwisely share his sensitiveness.
This means that small sums are
going out constantly through as
many channels as there are holes
in a watering can. Often every
member of a family is spending
more than the family can afford for
thi-gs he does not really enjoy.
The only remedy is the recogni
tion of the false pride for what it is,
and the refusal to spend for trifles
the money that ought to be saved
for the rainy day. This applies
not only, or even chiefly, to the
poor man. More often it is the
man of moderate means who feels
this strain. It is among this class
of Americans that the malady of
‘‘being broke” is commonest, and
the misfortune of meeting the rainy
day without any preparation is
met most often. The question is
whether one is willing to risk mis
construction by refusing to be
prodigal now in order to be honest
with himself and be comfortable in
the future.

revenue law requires that when a

law for a cigar to be replaced ir

Prices of Gems Soaring.
If anyone notices a broad and be
coming smile on the fair countenance*
of their favorite actresses, there’s a
reason. It is because the prices of pre
cious stones are soaring to the sky
Nearly every prominent stage favorite
has acquired a bushel or so of dia
monds, rubies, emeralds and other val
uable stones. That is the reason they
are happy. Under present conditions
they are not required to go before the
footlights and sing and dance or dc
whatever their specialty is. What’e
the use when they can attain wealth
without effort? Diamonds are as valu
able as "war babies.” The war has
sent the price of precious stones way
up and dealers say they are still soar
Ing. This is because very few stones
are being imported. Then again then
has been a boost of ten to twenty pel
cent in the tariff on cut stones, and an
other thing, the diamond mines it
South Africa are shut down If yot
have promised your lady friend a dia
mond ring or a bauble with precious
stones you may as well be prepared tc
see your bank roll fade away.
Nameless Inventors.
Apart from the sheer human won
dor aroused by the wireless telephone,
the most remarkable fact seems to be
that this application of research has
been carried out by a business cor
poration, and that the inventors and
scientists remain anonymous. As evi
dence of human motives there if
much to think about here. What if
the incentive which impels these un
known workers, what secret have
these corporations discovered which
enables them to tap so inexpensively
the most useful minds in America:
When next we read that enterprise
would collapse without dazzling re
wards, that human nature is so and
so, we shall not be able to refrail)
from thinking of these nameless bene
factors of mankind. Their incentive
seems somehow to be as good as
those of the men who are piling up
fortunes in war speculation, or oi
those who had grandfathers with a vl
sion of real estate development.—New

Couldn’t Read.
They were discussing the rights and
wrongs of a strike, and stout and
strenuous were the arguments on ei
ther side.
"I^ook here! Say I ain’t tellin’ th’
truth! Look there,” said Dob Pellett,
producing a newspaper, and flourish
ing it under Joe's eye.
But Joe ignored the proffered liter
ature.
"I don’t want to see no newspaper,”
he said, loftily. "Wot I knows, I
knows.”
"And that ain’t much," said Bob.
■'Don’t want to see the newspaper,
'e don’t. W’hy? ’Cos 'e can’t read.
Unedicated—that’s wot he is.”
Immediately Joseph’s ire rose.
“I'm as well edicated as you, Bob,”
he said, with dignity. "But as 1 learnt
it in a night school, o’ course I can’t
read in the daytime!"
CHILD MUST BE TRAINED
TO MAKE OWN DECISIONS
By S/DON/E MATZNER GRUENBERG
“Those other boys might be so rough or csreless In their speech!”
OF all the weak, Inconclusive,
modern parents—Ts this what
we’ve come to?” said Professor
Marshall to his wife after a scene with
their eighteen-year-old daughter, in
Dorothy Canfield’s new novel, "The
Bent Twig.”
After eighteen years of "training”
Sylvia manifests a desire to do what
other young people are doing, to drift
with the majority, to enjoy people and
pastimes not approved by her parents.
Having allowed their daughter to make
decisions all these years, in the hope
that she would thus learn to make
right decisions, the father cries out
helplessly when her decision in the
first really serious situation is opposed
to the parental judgment. He is
tempted to appeal to “parental author
ity.” We must reach out the hand to
pull her back, or she will make a hor
rible mistake!
But the mother sticks to her prin
ciples. They had taught their children
to think independently, and now it was
impossible to use force. They had
tried to give the children standards of
conduct and by these they would stand.
She had faith that in a crisis these
standards and ideals would pull her
through.
The most that parents can do for
their children is to give them stand
ards and ideals that will serve in emer
gencies as well as in the routine of
life. But hew often are we tempted
to lose faith in our own teachfngs, and
to resort to lock and Key, as was Pro
fessor Marshall! How often do we
see no choice but that between force
and perdition!
As we become more experienced in
this business of parenthood our feel
ing of responsibility grows upon us,
we realize how much better our Judg
ment is than that of the children, we
realize more and more the dangers
and the temptations that beset them.
And of couise we wish to save them |
from these dangers, we wish to give
them the full benefit of our su
perior judgment. Hut there is a limit
beyond which the child simply will
not profit from the wisdom of others,
except in a negative way—that Is. in
the way of doing nothing at all. Nor
should we deny the child the privilege
of acquiring his Judgment by means of
the kinds of experiences that have
given us our insight.
At any rate, we cannot save the
child by building a fence around him,
as the mother of a ten-year-old boy
tried to do, to protect him from the
rough manners and “bad language"
of other boys. The mother had kept
the child with her almost constantly,
when he was not in school. In time
she contrived to delegate portions of
this burden to paid deputies. When
it was suggested to the mother that
the boy might profit more from out
door games and the companionship of
other boys, she expressed the fear that
some of those "other £oys" might be
so rough, or so careless in their
speech!
If the home Is not capable of com
pensating for the roughness of boys
and the giggles of girls, he will surely
not be saved by padlocks and shutters.
For a few years this mother will be
able to shield her child from the in
considerate rudeness of the world out
side, Just as she was shielded in her
youth. But in the absence of a will
and a steadfast purpose, her child will
either succumb to the temptations that
are sure to come when he gets beyond
his mother’s protection, or he will be
obliged to retire for the rest of his
days to the only kind of life for which
the seclusion and darkness have fit
ted him.
By tying the hands you may keep
one from doing harm, but you cannot
thus destroy the desire to do the objec
tionable deed. It is better to leave the
hands free, and to train them to do
what you approve.
