WHEUC IN CHINA IS THAT? . ? . ^ ? a _ Ha?1 see those Chinese thugs have John? ?ltoa ta Wise Kiddle Little Ralph, an only child of four, had been permitted to stay up one evening when his parents had com pany. At the table he made a quaint remark at which ySll the guests laughed. He instantly saw that be had made a nit, and with commendable enterprise sought to follow it up. "Dad," he shouted, "what was that other smart thing I said yea | lerday?" - ^ -? PERFECT .QUIETUDE "I found a place this summer where 1 could rest in perfect quietude." "Did you enjoy it?" "No. I spent half my time on the road getting to a place where there Ml movies and a band." Unsupervised Play May Be Bad for Child ? OLDER CHILDREN likely to establish feeling of inferiority by "bossing" younger playmates. All young sters should be taught the pleasure of wholehearted, friendly cooperation. By LAURA GRAY " I CAN'T understand my small * son, Teddy," complained Mr*. Bacon to her neighbor, Mrs. Morton. "Every time he goes to play with Robert, Teddy comes back so cross, so irritable, I can do nothing with him. And he used to be such a sweet-tempered youngster." "Robert's older than Teddy, isn't' he?" asked Mrs. Morton. "Only a year and a half, but he looks three years older; he's so big and sturdy. Robert's mother and I have been taking charge of the two children on alternate days. This gives each of us every other day free." "What a clever arrangement. But perhaps the boys see too much of each other. How do they get on when Robert comes to your house?" "Oh, they scrap a little; I don't in terfere. But this morning Teddy made a great < ado about going to play with Robert. He didn't want to go." "Well, there are some people? much as I love them ? that I wouldn't want to spend every day with," mused the neighbor. "I should say, in this case, that the older boy is wearing out the little fellow. Having always to give in? to subject one's own wishes?be comes monotonous." "1 wonder if you are right." * Next day, when six-year-old Rob ert came to play with four-year-old Teddy, his mother, in the next room, was alert to note what went on. "Let's play train!" suggested Rob ert, sweeping things from a small table and jerking it upside down. "No. I want to cut out pictures!" pouted Teddy, already comfortably seated in the midst of litter. "Oh, come on!" Robert snatched the scissors from the little fellow. "You may be engineman!" Storm Stopped Temporarily. This magnificent condescension stopped the imminent storm of pro test from Teddy. He jumped up and willingly helped arrange chairs be hind the table. "Going to be engine man! Going to be engineman!" he kept repeating. "You may be engine driver after; I*m going to be first!" The bigger boy seated himself on top of boxes at the head of the procession, and mimicked escaping steam with vivid reality. Teddy reluctantly took the seat behind. At last the steam gave out. "My turn now!" he cried. "No, let's play something else! This is no fun!" The "steam" jumped down and wrecked the train! The boys went into the garden. Robert rushed to the shed, took out Teddy's new tricycle and kept it the rest of the morning. How the owner longed to enjoy his new toy! He'd had very little' chance as yet?the boys being almost always together. And so the day went on, the older boy's wishes always being carried out, and the younger never experi encing that satisfaction with regard to his own. No wonder poor Teddy was worn out with giving in! "You'll have to tidy up!" trium phantly, at the end of the day, 'T always do when you come to play with me!" Robert "beamed at the playroom that looked as if a cyclone had passed through rt ai lasx ne was gone! Half a day or even a whole day together, once in a while, would have been a good experience for these boys, but every day was too much. And we should all remember, too, that while some unsupervised play is beneficial for young children, the periods should not be overlong. No child should be "under-dog" all the time. This is apt to establish an idea of inferiority, not easily eradicated. Neither is it good for a more vigorous child to have his own way always. He should be taught to be fair, and learn that there can be real pleasure in giving in. National Ktndcr|*rten Association (VNUlarvkt.) Roman Dogs The Romans divided their dogs into six groups, the canes villatici (bouse dogs) j canes pastorales pe cuarii (shepherd dogs); canes vena tici (sporting dogsj; pugnaces or 'bellicosi (pugnacious or war dogs); nares sagaces (dogs which ran by scent) and pedipus celeres (swift dogs which ran by sight). In the United States, writes Margaret Kid der in the Los Angeles Times," we have a sporting-dog group in which are the bird dogs; a bound group, including both the scent and the sight hounds; a working-dog group, whiqh takes in the shepherd dogs and the dogs that the Romans termed war dogs; a terrier group, which had no counterpart in Roman times; a top group, which unac countably was missing in Rome, since tiny pets were popular among the ruling classes, and a non-sport ing group, which no doubt includes some of the breeds that the Romans listed as bouse dogs. , ... .. . ....
