Children’s Book Week Boys' and girls' reading will get special attention this fall. as the j ‘ fifth annual Children's Book Week , 1 will occur November 11th to 17th. Libraries. schools and bookstores all » over the country are planning ex- hibits‘of books for children and - young people—~and they make a ' fdscinating array. for even the least expensive editions nowadays are dressed up with alluring illustra- tion; and the contemporary writers of boys' and girls' books seem to ihave‘ high ideals both as to style and . subject matter. ,i, ‘ Too many children grow upwith- out.forrning the habit of reading. , Reading seems a task to them and . they lose the fun of discovering new , wodds and adventures through the * doorways of books. Parents should : gigvg. more thought to this import- ; utyhase of a child's development— guiding him to the better books. dhcussing‘ with him all that he rude. and endeavoring to instill in him a genuine love of reading. ,.Children’s Book W'eek is a good time to plan for the Christmas sea- son. since books are appropriate and lasting gifts. Librarians and book- sellers are advocating "More Books in the Home" and are glad to sug- gest books that children really en- joy. Youngsters like to own things and are always delighted to have a row of. books "all their own.” Keep to the Left _.____ All who walk the country roads of a, Saturday night or Sunday know the sudden chill of fear that seizes him when l quiet-running motor-cu slips up on him and blasts a. warn- ing to seek refuge in the gutter. “any mptorists, sensible of the ter- ror they inspire, prefer the stealthy numeric! passing.

At leurt. the pedestrian is not frightened out of his wits until the danger is past.

Danger 110cc! is less unnerving than danger that comes unseen and unheralded out of the dust or the dark.

His sweat stained _garb We see him shed. he doifs his pipe and shoes. and in a cheap but useful bed‘ he stretches out to snooze. Against his ‘sleep the rumbling roar of cities can't pre- vail; we hear the music of his snore. like sawing through a nail. The cats may yowi, the dogs may bark. the bughouse mules may bray. but on his mattress in the dark he'ii'sleep till break of day. The band may play and tires explode outside his donjon keep. but all the racket of the road can't break the toiier's sleep. The elements may take a whack, tornadoes large or small may lift the rooftree from his shack—- he'll slumber through it all. I envy much this worthy man, by dreamie- slumbers blest. and I admire the toil some plan that yields unbroken rest. When to my couch my way 1 take. at quarter after nine. I know that I shall lie awake. no childlike. sleep is mine. 1 do not push the gleaming plow or wield the rattling flail. l. hire s. man to milk my cow, and so I'm (at and stale. My days I uselessly employ in pastimes vain and cheap; I am too lazy to enjoy the boon of tranquil sleep. New York’s N aughtiness Dr. John Roach Straton has no in- tention of letting up on New York bune. New York will continue to re- ceivc all the chastisexncnt that she needs and when sh needs it. for Dr. Struton loves his city and will do all that he can to save it from the painted. cigarette-smoking. slog-kis- sing women that are dragging Ll demo to ruin. Anybody who read yesterday that Fifty-seventh Street's Thunderer..on returning from Europe, had found little old New York to be a fairly decent place (by comparison) and thought that his Sunday preach- mcnts against the theater. dance hall and bootlegger were to be abandon- ed dosen’t know Ur.

She didn't know how to blush. and if she had it couln't have been seen for the paint." Such a. girl, said Dr. Straton. is a. menace not to herself alone but be- cause other girls—high school girls —ape her manners and imitate her morals. "The high society girl is the low- est thing on earth." he thundered “’I‘he cures of modern New York is the sorgal climber. Women are the custodians v[.the ideals of the race. and when these are lowered our last hope Is gone. Juvenai pictured the fall of the Roman Empire when he described the Roman woman as 'lewd. petulant. reeling ripe with wine.’ The modern woman is going the same way." 7 Some of these lessons from his summer in Europe Dr. Straton will pass on to his flock to-day it Cal- vary Baptist Church in his‘tlrst ser— mons of the season. Beginning next Sunday. he will preach a series of six Sunday night sermons on other vital world problems. including the Rhur. Mussolini. Russia. drunkenness in England and mammonism in the United States. t A Possibility. Dr. George A. Gordon was f’the good-natured victim of a story told last Week by Bishop Clattery of the Episcopal church at the meeting held in honor of Bishop Lawrence in observance of his thirty years in that office. Introducing Dr. Gordon. Bishop Buttery told of the little girl. characterised by more frankness than fact, whose parents attended at the Old South church. According to the Bishop the little girl returned home one do. om church. with the accusation that Dr. Gordon was lost as tactic-s as she herselfku accused of being“ because he had made the g c Rippling mm' " ”2;” "DON’TFORGEI' MY LITTLE BONUS!

Loviaihan's menu during his recent voyage to Europe. it seems that the congress— man spoke some hii‘alutin' French words to his dining saloon steward expecting some ham and eggs and the servant brought him a dish of nuts and raisins. Hash is Bush. About the first thing Mr. Britten did upon his return from abroad, even before cummcniing on the Ruhr and other Huropczm tangles. was to register a. complaint with “(aching- ton officials that menus aboard American ships should be printed in language which the average Yankee tourist could understand. He said that it “as only fair to the American traveler that he know what he is ordering at the dinner table. He came out flatly for chick- en hash being called chicken Ahash. “‘hy be forced to guess what you were going to eat when the dinner bugle sounded? asked the represen- tative. Vl'hen the reporter started his can-‘ vass aboard the Leviathan as she slowly made her way up the river through the mist, he quickly learned that he did not have to finish the re- marks of the Chicago congressman. They were already well known. The story was all over England and the continent that an American repre- sentative had ordered ham and eggs and got nuts and raisins. The returning tourists did not seem to be .mucli perturbed over‘the congressman‘s troubles. instead they thought it a. good joke. Some of them smiled and asked if there were not more serious problems to be found after; European trip than the con- dition of seagoing menus. One man said the Chicagoan had become known across the Atlantic as Chick- en Hash Britten. Some Favor Plan. Others favored his proposal, but added that they usually were good guessers in the dining saloon. An- other Nmarked that a Yankee name wouldn't improve the food and might take away the French flavor. Some French names, others con- tended. could not be translated into understandable English. Still an- other had found in his travels that ham and eggs were usually under- stood in any language-41: fact. with the help of the steward the Yankee generally got what he wanted. tBill: here's how the canvas turned on : .

Child Prodigee There have been so many child prodigees of various kinds in recent years. and they have been so throughly exploited. that we can but marvel at the sanity of Signora ltinaldi who has determined that her boy, a musical genuis. shall have a chance to live a healthy life. He will not be allowed to appear in public for some years to come. If the sig- nora can also save him private adu— lation he will have arr-opportunity to develop a character that may prove a very useful helpmaie for his gen- lus. Young Rinsldi has written from French ~musical critictt At eleven years old he has heard him. self compared with Handel an! Mo- sart. And the result has been an ear- ly development of that artistic tem— perament which makes so many ar- tists like ilkmannercd childrvn and .so many children like immature grownups. When the boy showed this temperament at a. rehearsal the other day his mother put ..er foot down—no more public appearances! That means a considerable mono- tsry sacrifice on her partmlt moans also a considerable moril‘lce for her to show off their gifted children lil one that few parents can resist. All honor. then. to this eminently sane and careful mother. Let us hope- that some day she will have the still-fac- tion of seeing her son's genius and her son's character ripen in a way worthy of her excellent print-Lples. Ten Minutes The last ten minutes are the hard- est. The last ten minutes before a long Journey ends. the last ten be- fore the lover meets his “amid. the last ten before the accused learns the jury's verdict. the last. ten be- fore the splints of a broken limb are removed. the last ten before decision in a hard—fought battle is reached— thcse tens of minutes are superla- tively hard to pass. But the ten minutes that seem the hardest to some persons are the ten before the day‘s work ends. . Coming at the end. when the body and mind are weary. the last ten minutes of the daily task are natur- ally hard. They arehard for the in- dustriously inclined. for the honest roller. for the machinist or carpen- ter or miner or clerk or typist or any other employee interested in his or her job and holding the interest- ot employer at heart. But to those. who rate their Job as a galley task. who keep one eye on the clock as the minute hand draws near closing time. who are fearful lest they give. their employer a second overtime—- the last ten minutes are a time of torture. To such they will always be hard to pass. For the fact that they are.” held gives them constan- cy invrepetltion as ten times sixty seconds of irkaome effort. ~ .
