Tfce finy acorn you A now will some day be an oak tree is about as impressive today as the lanky, toothless boy you hope will grow into the fine man you want him to be. Left to wither on sun-bake- rocky soil, that acorn would shrivel into nothingness, its promise wasted for lack of cultivation and nourishment. Why, then, do you expect that funny lit-tle boy to be strong and hon-est and self-relia- without your help? The love and guid-ance you give him at eight will do him more good than the punishment he may need at eighteen if you don't.

Mother's Job. It means that Mother keeps from their very babyhood her children's confidence; that they come to her first, sure of comfort and help. It means that from the time Betty Is five years old her mother is telling her firmly that as an older girl she will not be allowed to run wild, that too much make-u- p is silly on a girl of 15 and absurd on a girl of ten. It means that when she forbids a thing Mother puts something else in its place; it means youngsters of whom Mother and Dad MAY ap-prove being asked to the house, be-ing familiar there, knowing where the games and pencils are kept, ac-cepting Mother's cookies and dough-nuts with gasps of joy, to remem-ber the taste of them when the cokes and cones and candy bars are forgotten.

And if you are the sort of mother who goes through the day's duties In a sort of dream, thinking of the sitting-roo- curtains that ought to be washed when Betty is trying to tell you something, sighing in the long silences of the table, answering a dreary "out somewhere" when Dad asks "where's that girl to-night?" and answering Betty with a "Daddy wouldn't stand for it," when she begs for a little evening party at home, then don't be surprised if someday Betty's tear-strick- face looks back at you from the front page of a scandal sheet. No home is so poor that there can't be a lot of fun in it No moth-er who intelligently loves her chil-dren need fear losing them if she makes home a place they want to be. But good children, destined to grow into good men and women, are the most valuable things in the world. And you can't get anything valuable for nothing!

V I Guiding the Child Some teachers of child guidance say that punishment means to look backward at what a child has done, whereas guidance means to look forward to what it is hoped he will do in the future. Invasion Tactics Used in Opening Second Front SU American troops were trained intensively for the invasion of North Africa. Before the U. S. army task force members were assigned to the new invasion group they spent a considerable period In carefully directed maneuvers under simulated attack conditions. That they learned their lesson well is confirmed by their re-markable success in the initial stages of the opening of the second front in North Africa. The pictures were taken during maneuvers, by the V. S. Signal Corps. Time Is Long Time is infinitely long, and every day is a vessel into which , much may be poured, if we fill it up to the brim. Goethe. uulhA .L I . Washington, 1). C. BRAZIL AND U. S. OFFENSIVE Though the landings on North Af-rica were a carefully guarded mili-tary secret between high British and American officials, one other coun-try let In on the secret was Brazil. In fact. Brazil, through Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha did soine important spade work for the United States in regard to vital Atlantic islands, the Azores and Madeiras. These lie along the route of the American supply line to North Af-rica, the Madeiras close to the Af-rican coast. ' Therefore, it was considered pos-sible that the Germans might at-tempt to use these islands as sub-marine or even air bases, or that the United States in turn might need the islands for emergency bases. Both island groups are Portu-guese. So, long ago, Brazil, which looks to Portugal as Its mother coun-try, made informal diplomatic soundings to make sure that these islands would line up with the United Nations in case of emergency. SOLOMONS vs. AFRICA One thing that got under the skin of high U. S. army ofilclals during the weeks Just before the North Af-rican landings was the navy's policy regarding the battle of the Solomon Islands. Though all the details had not been worked out, It had been def-initely agreed with Churchill and the Russians to start some kind of second front operation this summer. However, the navy also claimed that it could start the Solomon Islands campaign simultaneously without taking any ships out of the Atlantic or disturbing the Second Front prep-arations. The admirals promised the war department that the num-ber of ships used in the Solomons would be very small indeed. But before the Solomons opera-tions had lasted many weeks, the navy had used several times as many ships as it expected 6ome of them sent to the bottom of the Pacific. Ships were taken off the supply lines to Russia, despite def-inite promises made to Russia. Ships were also taken off the supply lines to England to such an extent that supplies to England dwindled to a driblet. LESSON FROM ALEUTIANS Inside the navy it is pointed out that one of the best jobs Admiral Nimitz ever did was to let the Japs get into the tip end of the Aleutian islands. This proved to be a beau-tiful decoy, like flies to molasses, The Aleutians were too exposed for the Japs to defend safely, too near our bases. As a result, the Japs lost 10 de-stroyersa big chunk out of any navy and we are continuing to whittle them down with no loss to ourselves. U. S. bases are now so close to Kiska that U. S. planes bomb the Japs every day without fail and bomb them so badly that recently no Jap fighter planes have been put in the air. Apparently they are all smashed. But in the other end of the Pacific, army strategists fear that we may have got ourselves in the same posi-tion as the Japs have in the Ale-utianswith our necks so far stuck out that, despite current successes, we have lost more ships than the Solomons were worth. CHRISTMAS TRAVEL The railroads have been negotiat-ing with the schools and colleges to extend their Christmas holiday pe-riod so that it will begin before the usual Christmas home-goin- g dates and extend beyond the usual return-ing dates. The purpose was to get rid of the school and college traffic before taking on the burden of the furlough movement of soldiers, go-ing home for Christmas. This longer vacation would be okay with a lot of girls and boys, but most of the schools and col-leges have turned thumbs down. They said they could not change their schedules. Result is that the American rail-roads will carry the greatest bur-den In history during the period from December 15 to January 5. The peak will come between Decem-ber 20 and 24, when the railroads will have to carry: (1) Home-goin- g students; (2) the usual heavy civilian Christmas trav-el; (3) soldiers on furlough; (4) sol-diers on week-en- d passes; (5) the normal troop movement, which will not be suspended for Christmas. So between December 15 and January 5, civilians are asked to stay off the railroads! AFRICANA . C. Frenchmen listening to Roose-velt's broadcast to the French peo-ple in the French language won-dered who wrote his speech. They said it contained grammatical er-rors and sounded like schoolboy composition. Roosevelt's accent, however, was good. C. General Giraud, new French com-mander In North Africa, is the first Frenchman to use motorized units In cleaning up North Africa. He waged a successful campaign against the Riffs. U. S. Boston Bombers Raid Le Havre United States air force Boston bombers, also known as the Douglas A-- C's, attacked Le Havre docks in a daylight raid. This photo, which is one of the clearest of its kind that has been made during this war, shows one of the Bostons over the target area as the first stick of bombs of the attack breaks on and near the western end of the quay in the Bassln De Maree, where there are E and R boat pens. During this attack, bombers were escorted by U.S.A.A.F. fighter planes. I Big Ben Poses "II Duce in the rone of opera-tions," says the caption on this pho-to, which appeared in an Italian propaganda magazine. Obviously, the "zone of operations" was in North Africa, if the tropical helmets of the soldiers, diplomatically air brushed into the background by the artist, are any indication. Recently the "zone of operations" became a race-track for II Duce's men. In African Fight Jw A'V i n --". ,.- - Shown here is Rear Adm. Bcnry K.
