What glial J be. dupe fith thf chil
dren of divorced parent.?
The' fact' that tbls la a ir.-ucuv In
the life of a child of which the par
ents are ften either woefully Ignor
ant or heedless aa to Its consequenc
es, 's strikingly brought out In the
aulcide, of ta year old girl In Chi
cago.' ' ' '
Rlssa Sachs loved both' ber father
and mother. In a suit for divorce
begun by the mother, Rlssa waa ob
liged to testify against hor father.
but ahe did It reluctantly.
vTben came the necessity of choos
ing between them.' jTbe mother'! en
treaties bore heavily upon her. The
father pleaded his loneliness and be
threatened (o disinherit her unless
she weut to live with him.
Day after day the child puzzled
over the matter, wuno tne cicrrs
wore absorbed In their own sel'ish
grievances, the.v did not notlco that
the child's heart waa breaking under
the strain. "
Finally In her own childish war
the solution became clear. She de
cided that the only way was - for ierl
to kill herself, and then the struggle
would be over, ' ' ' J '
She sacrificed ber own life, and
gave up both. i
And the' renunciation ' la - all the'
more pitiful because no 'one knew
the Struggle' she went through, and
the agony she must bave suite., ed In
reaching tbls conclusion.
If was all done very simply. She
went to school as usoal, 1 made ' no
outcry at all to any of ber playmate.
Then she had a last talk wltu her
mother, and clothed lay down on ber
bed that night, with the gas turned
on, and awaited .death alone.
It 1 pitiful, 'Isn't, It? Because
childish griefs are so much deeper
than fathers and mothers think.
And this father and mother, by rea.
son of their own selfishness and lack
of adaptability to each other's little
foibles, have murdered the child who
must, after all, have been dear to
them. It . . ..
H ought to bojO. lemon to-other
fathers and mothers' wlto think ot
leaving fbelr children desolate. "

Rubber prices bave been high, but
are coming down. The prediction Is
made that a' big drop Is likely' and
that the reduction will be permanent.
This opinion, is based on ttip re'mark-
able development in rubber culture
within a few years. A great demand
for rubber waa the result of its use
for automobile tires and in numerous
electrical ' .devices. The quantity
available was believed .to be limited,
most of the raw material coming
from Brazil, , ,
Then began search for other sourc
es of supply. It has Been found that
there are many sections, , chiefly in
tropical regions adapted-to the pro
duction ot the rubber tree. The Con
go) district in Africa has been' ex
ploited, while other places are J at
tracting notice. From 'the Confeder
ated Malay ..states, comes, the. official

May not Canada after all come to
the conclusion that it would be better
to reciprocate with us?
