hood of Ellen Elisabeth Benson, her
daughter. whose mind is called “the
brightest ever tested." There will be
three others.
By ANNE AUSTIN.
I have just come home after see-
ing Elisabeth graduated from ’high
school. She's asleep now her round.
babylsh face still flushed with ex-
citement. the yellow hair dainp on
her forehead. her fat. dinlpled arms
flung wide. in that complete aban-
donment to slumber which charac-
terizes a perfectly healthy child.
Her ribbon-tied diploma. lies on the
floor by her bedside, like a doll
with which she had grown tired of
playing. I'm sure it won't occur to
her to frame it neatly; she isn't a
very orderly person.
And I've been sitting here, feeling
weepy and full of forebodings as to
the future. when she will be away
at college. but feeling exalted too.
and happy. in thinking back over
the twelve years during which I
have watched her develop. I don't
make claim to any credit at all for
the line on that diploma which test-
ifies that she graduated with high-
est honors. For I never helped her
with a single lesson.
When she was 16 months old real-
? izing her unusual possibilities. I de.
termined to let her develop with ab
solute independence 1 would never
"push" her. for her development
one inch.
As I have said before. I have al-
ways thought of her as a person. an
_ entirely separate individuality. rath~
or than as my baby. to be molded
or warped by me. But I did, from
the time she was a baby. talk with
1’ her her as freely as if the were
adult. Before'she was able to talk
t plainly I told her all the news of
my busy days. not condescendingiy
or in baby talk, but as one friend
talks to another. I wanted her to
be my friend. above anything else
in the world.
In some curious way I seemed to
be born again. with Elizabeth's
' birth. Hei- childhood was my child-
! hood—I'd missed a real childhood
t of my own. Before she could talk
plainly. we told each other secrets.
laughed together gleefully—she has
a. gorgeous sense of humor: and
made love to each other like a pair
of sweethearts.
She taught herself to read when
she was four. and from that time on
we discussed books together.
with respectful attention to the
other's opinions but not giving an
inch when we disagreed. I have new
or told her which authors she should
read, or forbidden her to read any
book that she wanted to read. 1
have never told her what she should
think of a piece of music or a
painting.
I have always insisted that she
think for herself. and I may add
that it took very little insisting on
my part. for she has no trace of sub—
servience. I have done only two
things to further her mental devel-
opment-J have given her access to
the best books. the best music. the
best in art and‘drama. and I have
introduced her to nearly all the in-
teresting people I have met in my
work. None of my friends—most of
them writers. artists and musici-
anh-tl‘cat her as a child in men-
tality. They do not talk down to nor;
they admit her into the conversa-
tion as if she were adult.
Her school work has been strict-
ly her own affair. Until she was a
senior in high school. I rarely saw
one of her textbooks, since she did
practically all of her studying at
school. during study periods. or
course I took an interest in her
progress. made friends with her
teachers. but I did not nag or scold
if her grades slumped temporarily.
If she had not managed to make an

What. of the films for your child's
career?
Will Bays. “the movie cur." pre-
sents a picture of the Widely diversi-
fied opportunities in the following
statement for The Evening Sentinel.
A8 TOLD TO GENE COHN. NEA
SERVICE \VRITER. BY
WILL HAYS
"The average person. when think-
ing in terms of a film career, has
only acting in mind.
"And so I take pains to stress the
point that there are vast opportu-
nities in the world of celluloid for
people who could no more pass the
casting director's test than—well,
myself. for instance.
‘Although you do not see their
pictures on magazine covers, there
is an army of this talent in the
background of every film success:
scenarists. continuity writers, scenic
and costume designers, craftsmanly
carpenters and interior decorators.
scene painters. directors and assist-
ant directors. publicity men and
women, advertising specialists. sales
experts. distribution experts and the
controlling executives themselves.
“You have your choice in a long
gamut that runs through the arts
to the hard—headed financial de-
tails. .
Face Isn't Everyth'ng.
“So if your child's dream heads
him toward the films: if your own
dream is to see the child a figure in
one of the world's greatest indus~
tries—don't despair if it doesn't
happen to possess a. 'film face.’
"Now. as to advice-can you. as
a parent. truthfully tell yourself
that you know enough about the
films to detect the necessary talents
in your children?

educated: and another to appreciate
what has .gone into that film and
analyze these factors.
“it is not. likely that you will have
much success in diverting a child's
attention from the action and the in-
terest of the picture to point out
essentials. But upon returning home
you can instruct the child in the
highly interesting story of how a
film is made.
"You can furnish him with innu-
merable books and articles on the
building of a great picture. You can
add mightily to the child's imagina-
tive fights by indicating what
dreams have been in the minds of
the writers. what genius has been
expressed by a director and what
qualities make a story.
“In this manner you will have
stimulated the interest‘ toward the
profession you have in mind. and.
at the same time. added to the store
of information so vital to the men-
tal growth of the child.
"He may disappoint you—so many
children do—and enter upon the last
sort of a career you had imagined—
but he will have much helpful
knowledge. It is thus with any pro-
fession. Stimulate the play-life of
the child with saws and hammers
and wood and he will build him-
self a little world.
"And building worlds is the serv-
ice of the movie people from the
lowllest extra to the greatest direc-
tor.
"As to the child as a potential
film actor.—
"Well, it is only human that a.
parent should consider a child quite
as pretty and precocious as any to
be seen upon the screen.
"And. again. it is only human that
every other cunning youngster that
can mimic Jackie Coogan should be
dragged into a casting director's oi-
and be entertained and diverted and
flea by a proud mother.
A average for almost every term she
has been in school. I hope I still
should have had strength to stick to
the program of "hands off."
Tomorrow I shall tell about Elisa-
beth's share ill making our home.

PREVENTION OF COLDS
When a person having a cold
sneezes 'or coughs while in close
proximity to a well person. there is
a favorable opportunity for the di~
rect transfer of infective material.
The cold-producing material may
also be transferred through hands
and handkerchiefs. The substitution
of the military salute for handshak-
ing has been highly recommended as

Two Groups.
People may be divided into two
groups. those who have and those
who. temporarily. do- not have colds.
For each class. there are definite pre-
ventive measures.
In all probability most colds are
the result of getting into the nose or
mouth infectious material from the
nose or mouth of a sick person. Un-
pleasant as this may sound. is is of-
ten true—ydngers playing an active
part in the transfer.
Persons with colds should avoid.
as ,much as possible. contact with
others. It labetter to remain quietly
at home. in a. room alone. instead of
attending public gatherings or en-
deavoring to work in offices where
contact is inevitable.
The careless person with a cold is
a genuine menace. Let us hope the
time is not far distant when this
condition will occasion the auiferer
to be excused from work and to re-
main at home.
Be Watchful.
The person who is well should be l
vigilant lest he contract a cold.
The standard rules of hygenio liv-
ing must be 1011de. One should
work. play- and sleep in fresh air.-

THE END '
“But be pretty sure that the child
has something more than. mere aver-
age talent. All children are mimics.
All children are cute. All children
are pretty—at least to their parents.
“And yet how many of them have
faces that would photograph well?
How many could fall into the parts
to which they might be assigned?
How many could forget themselves
in the parts they have to play?
"That refers. of course. to the
child actor. '
"Whether the child will become
sereen material. ‘only time will tell.
lessons in grace. dramatlcs and such.
No harm is done by giving a child
lessons in grace. dramatlcs and such.
These are necessary in any later so-
cial encounter.
”Perhaps as maturity or at ado.
income the child will have a “pho-
tographic" face; perhaps not. Per-
haps it will have the proper talent:
perhaps not. That's a gamble in any
profession.
Best Traditions
“But if you want your child on
the screenv-«vhatever‘else you do.
bring it up to respect ’ths best
screen traditions. If the idea is im-
planted that the screen offers an
easy. lazy life. full of Rolls-Royces
and midnight suppers and mlllion~
dollar salaries—the whole thing is
hopeless.
“The screen life is work—hard
work. and if you don't believe it. a
visit. to any studio will convince you.
“More and more. as the screen
develops. the need of "team-work"
is emphasized. Everybody isn't go-
ing to star. but the butler who walks
in and off can be an artist as cer-
tainly as anyone else can.
“Build your child's brain. build
his interests. build his imagination.
build his taste and his feelings for.
beauty—build. above everything else. ‘
his willingness to work and work
hard. and he will fit in somewhere.
commonly ”conveyed by soiled lin-
gers, it is imperative that the hands
be kept clean.
By keeping the lingers away from
the nose and 'mouth. and thoroughly
washing the hands prior to eating.
some of the danger of contracting
colds can be eliminated. Finally. it
is manifestly a wise thing to shun
the person having a cold.

By reprinting viewpoints of the

The Anti-Samoa League Above The
Law.
The payment of fees from the
Anti-Saloon lmague treasury to
members of Congress. ostensibly as.
Prohibitionlst campaigners, has been .
a regular practice. A few names of:
beneficiaries of this system of clll-'
ployment were recently published;
How much further iiir. Wayne li.‘
Wheeler‘s organization has carried
the business of spending money for
political purpbses and where and
how the money has been spent is
still a closely guarded sccrct. We
have Mr. Wheeler‘s word for it that
in single years the Anti-Saloon
League spent as much as $2,500,000;
$100,000 in one Congressional elec-
tion. Why it has not published re—
ports of its political expenditures.
as required by law. or been sum-
moned to render an accounting. has
never been explained. in the handl-
ing of secret funds it has enjoyed
privileges of exemption from pub-
licity denied to other political bedics.
All this is matter, as Represen-
tative 'l‘lnkham of Massachusetts
preposes. for investigation by Con-
gress. The Anti-Saloon League for
years has cellected enormous sums
of money. kept in its service a staff
of attorneys. agents and lobbyists
for active political work. paid out
money in Congressional districts and
states. where. according to Mr.
Wheeler's boasts. it exercised a de-
ciding influence in elections. and ac-
knowledged no responsibility under
the law. It was to guard against
this very abuse in politics that con-
gress passed the Corrupt Practices
Act.

The thin dividing line between
sublimlty of courage and action and
the ghastly spectre of death comes
home to one who sees in this story
the mutilation of humanity for that
unseen. uncontrollable, insatlate
passion we call the war spirit. Sure-
ly if ever there was a need of the
divine spirit of The Christ. it was
there in Flanders among those men
who had been turned for the mo-
nlent from brothers into demons in-
