THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
ByMARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
PARENTS FORGET
THERE is a rule of good form that
tells us that we should never re
prove a servant or other employee in
the presence of outsiders., A waltress
perhaps breaks a dish at dinner and
the confused hostess exclaims hastily
that she should not be so awkward or
that she has been very careless. Now,
the perfectly well-bred hostess does not
do this, She does her best at the time
to draw her guests' attention from the
mishap and, if she feels that any re
proof {8 necessary, she walts untll she
is alone with the servant.
Now, If we are as considerate as
this to servants, ought we not to be as
considerate to our children? Yet,
truly, I know plenty of persons who
would not think of reproving servants
in my presence, especially nowadays,
when servants are so independent and
hard to get, who would not think it
anything amiss to scold their children
in my presence,
Sometimes the scolding is dellvered
in a half-teasing, jesting manner.
“John, will you be careful?’ exclaims
the mother to her ten-year-old son,
when he is trying to bring her some
article that she has sent for. “You are
the most awkward creature In the
world. Your feet are so bjg it's no
wonder you trip over them.” And then,
to her guest: “Just imagine, John
wears shoes that are larger than mine
already. I suppose he is going to have
enormous feet like his father.”
It may be that John is sensitive. He
was doubtless trying to do the errand
gracefuly and carefully, and it hurts
him to be reproved for his failure to
do so. Moreover, hé feels sensitlve
about those big feet. He knows that
the only reason his parents tease him
about them is because he cannot come
pack at them and make teasing re
marks about their infirmities. »
Now, really, does it seem fair? If
you want to reprove John and humble
him—perhaps you are justified, but
you ought at least to be as consider
ate to him as you would be to a serv
ant—and do it when there is no third
person present.

Looking Into Life With Browning.
The true poet is the man who sees
farthest, catches the relations of
things and leads one to new concep
tions of life’s meaning and possibill
ties. It is Robert Browning’s deep
insight into human character, human
emotions, his grasp of the meaning
that lies behind the surface events
of existence, that make him a perpetu
al source of inspiration, It is hard
to imagine an individual for whom
Browning has not a message; a per
son who could turn through the pages
of a Browning volume and not be
soon caught with something that
points a truth not hitherto suspect
ed, that leads to a better understand
ing of life.
Influence of New Clothes.
One thing is certain. A man does
not have a new suit of clothes every
day; and another general proposition
may be advanced, that a man in sport
ing a coat for the first time is either
agreeably affected, or disagreeably af
fectod or not affected at all—which
latter case I don’t believe. There is
no man, however accustomed to new
clothes, but feels some sentiment of
pridé in assuming them—no philoso
pher, however calm, but must remark
the change of raiment. Men consent
to wear old clothes forever—nay, feel
a pang at parting with them for new;
but the first appearance of a new
garment {s always attended with ex
ultation.—From Thackeray.
To Dissipate Tornadoes.
A California scientist, the founder
of a famous observatory, has sug
gested that storms in which electricity
plays a leading part, like tornadoes,
might be dissipated on the lightning
rod principle by bonding the rails of
raflroads with copper, as in electric
railroads for return currents, and at
intervals sinking large conductors in
to the ground until they reach water.
Rallroads running north and south,
it is suggested, would be especially
available, because the tracks of
tornadoes are almost invariably from
west or southwest toward east or
northeast.
Powerful Explosive.
When liquid air containing from 40
to 50 per cent of oxygen is mixed with
powdered charcoal it forms an explo
sive which is sald to be comparable
in power to dynamite and can be ex
ploded by means of a detonator, says
the Washington Star. This explosive
has been used in ccal mines. The
liquid ailr evaporates S 0 rapidly that
the explosive cannot be stored, but
must be used within a few minutes
ptter it is prepared

W AN \ 500 miles at 94.48 miles an hour—a relentless grind
WL\
O ;\,i\\\ over a rough-finished, sun-baked concrete and brick
L \.\\\ )\ pavement at record-breaking speed-—that is the gruelling
N\ ;\\\\\\ test Oldiield Cord Tires underwent successfully at Indian-
R\ \\\\‘\\ \ apolis Speedway May 30th. They were on the winner's
R WO car for the third successive year and on eight of the ten
W (;‘ N finishing in the money, upholding the confidence success-
DRI ful race drivers have in the trustworthiness and abili?l of
A ;s\\3‘_;/ these tires to meet the greatest demands of speed, endur
x ance and safety. Their records in every other important
race have been equally as good.
' Consider this achievement along with another test of Oldfield
quality made at Wichita, Kansas, this past winter and early
spring. -
34,525 miles on rutted, icy Kansas roads, runnin? day
and night on a Studebaker stock car without a single tire
change. This test was made by a group of Wichita auto
¥ motive dealers in a tire, oil and gasoline economy run.
| oo Mayor Kemp of Wichita was official observer and made
affidavit to the mileage and service given by Oldfield tires.
You may never subject your tires to the gruelling experience
of Indianapolis nor the steady grind of bad winter roads, but it
is good to know you can get such safety and mileage economy
by buying Oldfield tires. Ask your ncarest dealer.

Forerunner of Pianoforte.
The pianoforte, a word meaning
“soft” and “loud,” came tentatively in
to existence, or at least its principle
did, as early as the Fourth century
in the shape of the clavichord. Then
came the cithera, harpsichord and
spinet, which entertained lovers of
musie down to the Kighteenth century.
Both Mary Queen of Scots and Queen
Elizabeth played wupon the spinet.
When the Scotch ambassador visited
the English court the queen anxiously
inquired about her cousin’s proficiency
in playing that instrument and was
informed that Mary played “very well,
for a queen.” It is probable that the
music produced by neither of those
queens would have entranced listeners
had it not been brought forth by the
jeweled fingers of royalty. Shake
speare alludes to the spinet in the
line, “Those jacks that nimble leap
to kiss the tender inward of thy
hand.”
Encourage Child to Talk.
The child who talks well is the child
who has something to say. Let him re
tell storics, seeing to it that he dis
tinguishes fact from fancy. Total
repression, at the table, for instance,
might profitably give way to an intel
ligent conversation in which the child
takes an active part. Draw out the
incidents of his daily life in bhis own
words, By narrating them he gains
practice in the use of language, At
the same time his past experiences
are being reinforced, and not only
will they be better remembered but
fn a more useful form, If an arm is
not exercised, it will weaken and
wither, Mental associations are
strengthened by usage; they weaken
and fade through disuse, It is well
that the mental paths, so to speak,
be kept clean and In good operating
condltion,—Daniel A, Laird in the Yale
Review,
Oxford Noon.
Some clock clove with silver the
stillness of the morning. Xre came
the second striking. And now there
were others chiming in, The alr was
confused with the sweet babel of the
many spires, some of them hooming
deep, measured sequences, some tin
kling impatiently and outwitting others
which had begun before them. And
when this anthem of jealous antiph
onies and uneven rhythms had
dwindled quite away and fainted in
one last solitary note of silver, there
started somewhere another sequence;
and this, almost at its last stroke
was interrupted by yet another, which
went on to tell the hour of noon in its
own way, quite slowly and significant
ly, as though none knew it.—Max
Beerbohm, in “Zuleika Dobson.”
