"No, I can't It won't tie for me. "Nonsense. Any shoe will tie foi you If you tie It You get right down to It and tie It." "I can't I did try. It's too hard for me." "It Isn't hard. It's easy enough once you set your mind to It" "Is It easy?" "Yes. Easy as can be." Then you do It It's hard for me." Things that are easy to us are difficult for children. They have to make an effort to adjust their muscles for the task. They have to think about and direct every move. A wrong motion, and It Is easy for a child to make one, sends a whole series of movements the wrong way. Dick was passing his shoe string over Instead of under and that made It Impossible for him to tie the knot As soon as that one motion had been set right he tied the knot easily. Some children tire sooner than others. For them effort Is annoying. They will escape it if they can and If they form the habit of calling for help at the first sign of trouble they will not gain power. Let the child try to do his job. When he cries for help hold your head. Watch what he does and find the difficulty. Set that right, encourage him to go ahead. He needs help over the hard place but he needs to go the rest of the way himself. It helps a child to see grown-upeople do the things they expect little ones to do. WThat you would have the children do and think easy to do, you should do yourself. If you want them to speak softly and go gently you must speak and move with gentleness. If you want them to be well mannered you must practice being good mannered on all occasions. They will have to hear you say, "How do you do?" "I am sorry to disturb yoa" Won't you have this chair? I think you will be more comfortable," before they say it. Telling or showing once Is not enough. You must show many, many times for the one telling. Show by your own conduct that the thing you wish the child to do Is easy for you to do and he will have more faith In its being possible for him. Then make It easy for him to do by providing the right atmosphere. A child cannot be patient In an atmosphere of Impatience. He cannot be gentle and well mannered In an Invlronment that Is neither the one nor the other. Make things easy for him and he will find them so. p ' f ' vi ai i t. & i- iffl'i- i i - rarer v iii i mi v. AL-cs-r- i THE FEATHERHEADS J - r 6cmhs To So See FALL OUT OF OUR. VARD- ( lAN(jUAGlt.

By AKGELO PATRI MECHANICAL nNNEY OF THE FORCE BIBLICAL CITY IN DEAD SEA WATER? THE CONTRARY CHILD CHILDREN who are contrary and are a great trial to their mothers and teachers. When one comes along the best thing to do Is to study him to learn the se cret of his affliction, for an affliction It certainly Is. A contrary child Is unhappy and an unhappy child does not grow either In mind or body as he ought. When a child says, "I won't," whether In words or actions does not matteir he closes his mind and sits Inside in the darkness of his anger and fear. You never meet the one without the other. ' Anything that brings fear brings anger with It They are twins. Until we can help the child free himself of the fear he cannot come out and play. He Is a prisoner to his fear, or as we are terming It now, his stubbornness. Children who are not certain about their power to do what Is asked of them are likely to balk. They have not the power of language to tell us all they are feeling. We have to win him to trust and confidence before he will venture another step. We cannot accomplish this by scolding and shaking and slapping. Wait until you can see this fear rid den, obstructed child, closed In the darkness of his unformed mind, wait until you are sorry for his plight and desire to help Mm, before you speak or move. Then, take a good look at him. If he seems to be enjoying his con trary disposition say, very calmly, with assumed Indifference, "Very You needn't," and occupy well. yourself to the exclusion of him and his deeds. Find something Interest- lng to do so that his eyes follow you and he longs to he at It too. When he sidles along to you and says, "Let me, let me," be gracious, but not too effusive, and say, "If you like," and let him. In his Interest and enthusiasm he will be released from Ills bonds and go merrily for a time. If he has an attack at a dangerous time, when he wants to do what will hurt him, or refuses to do what will save him, and your hands and heart are full, hold on to your reason, pick liirn up firmly, without singer, and put him where you want him to be. If he has a tantrum reach for a bowl of cool water and douse him with It until his mood changes. I?ut never lose your own control. Syndicate WNU A message to the London Times from a correspondent In Cairo stated that an airman flying recently over the southern part of the Dead sea reported having seen a "town lying beneath the water." This town, according to an assistant to Sir Flinders I'etrie, interviewed by a representative of the London Obsener.ls thought of the London Gomorrah or another of the "five Cities of the Plain" that were destroyed at the same time with them. Archeologists are not In agreement as to the probable site of those cities. The northern shores have been considered the most likely. But In the Scriptural record mention Is made of a little city nearby named Zoar, a city to which Lot and his daughters fled, a city so small as not to be as wicked as the rest ! A city of that name at the south remained Into Roman times. There is abundant evidence that there was a Canaanitish civilization In that region at a time when the plain was "well watered, everywhere as thou goest toward Zoar" like the garden of the Lord. The place was filled with city states as the Scriptural record suggests, each with Its king: "And it came to pass In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arloch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam and Tidal, king of Golim, that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom and with BIrsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Adman, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (the same Is Zoar). All these joined together In the vale of Siddim (the same is the Salt sea)." Suddenly all the kings departed and' with them all the "inhabitants of the cities and that which grew upon the ground," for more than 20 centuries. An "earthquake with fiery eruptions" Is postulated, and a consequent general desolation. "And Abraham looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a fur. nace." Perhaps, too, the waters of the Dead sea were, before the disturbance, whatever it was, at a lower level. Now from the airman's height their depths even are visible, and It may be that the sequel of the story of the Judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah will be told. Puny Creatures That Have Held Up Trains train was traveling on the More-lo- s railway of Mexico when the driver suddenly saw a red light ahead, and pulled up In a hurry. Before he could find out what the trouble was, another train came up behind '' and ran Into his, killing three passengers. The red light was just an ordinary signal lantern, on which had settled a swarm of cochineal insects. The light, shining through their tiny bodies, caused the signal to appear a vivid crimson. Lions have held up railway traffic in East Africa, and elephants have done the same In Burma, but you can hardly Imagine a hedgehog as capable of such an act Yet near A Sandbach, In Cheshire, a hedgehog held up all traffic for nearly an hour. The unfortunate little beast crept between the points and the side rail and was trapped when the points ' were moved, thu9 preventing them from closing properly. Still more amazing was the exploit of a beetle, which, by crawling into the signaling apparatus at Hounslow, upset the contact - and caused all signals to be set at danger. It was a quarter of an hour before the source of the trouble was discovered. London Answers. Eczema Burned and Itched Terribly Healed by Cuticura "Eczema broke out In pimples on my child's head and later spread to her neck and back. It burned and Itched terribly and the little one scratched and cried continually. Iftr clothing hurt her so that I kept a very thin dress on her.i'ller hair came out In handfuls and what was left was lifeless and dry. The Irritation prevented her from sleeping. T sent for a free sample of Outl-cnr- a Soap and Ointment I could see a difference after using them. I purchased more and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment she was healed." (Signed) Mrs. J. K. Thomp-oEnergy, Texas, July 20, 1932. Cuticura Soap 25c.
