MORE SUCH MEN NEEDED
England and America also needs more men like Mr.
Stanley Baldwin, former prime minister of Great Britain,
and leader of the Conservative party in England.
It has come to light that after the war he secretly gave to
the British treasury twenty per cent of his fortune because
the iron industry of his family had profited on war work.
But the magnanimity and virtue of this unusual Britisher
did not stop there. His wealth consists, or rather consisted,
of shares in the forges and foundries built by his ancestor.
Recently they have' fallen in value from $15 a share to '10
cents. He saw them falling, knew whither they were bound,
but refused. to' sell. He gave as his reason: ' I
"When you have an old name in business, against which
nothing has ever been said ; when you know the public has
come into the business on the strength of that name, it is an
impossibility to throw your shares on the market when you
know that in all human probability the loss will fall on them,'
npt on you."
Mlad those operating in Wall Street in October of 1929;
;been motivated by the same spirit there would have been an'
entirely different story to record in connection with the drop
in securities' which, occurred at that time.
Business and 'Civilization need imore such men, but thus
far it does not appear that Mr. Stanley Baldwin has been
treated as he deserved. However, nn honorable man does
not let the actions of others interfere with his honesty of
purpose.
SPRING IS ON ITS WAY
' When tho latter part of January arrives there is comfort;
in the thought that the days are getting longer. There is;
; also a pleasant sensation in realizing that it will soon be un
necessary to get up in the "middle of the night" to go to work'
', and to return home after dark. " '
j'.' As the days lengthen the mind turns to thoughts of spring.'!
: Quite before we know it someone will be reporting the in-. !
: formation that the first robin has arrived. Robins and
j marble games are the first true harbingers of spring, and
' both are on the way.
j King Winter may no', have spent his forces, but with Jan
; uary singing her swan song, and the short month certain to
;pass rapidly, he will have only a few weeks more to retain his
' throne. Cold snaps and snow storms may pay us occasional
'visits, but with an ascendant sun there will lie an increasing
number of good days among those that are unpleasant.
: There is no better way to forget the discomforts of winter
than to anticipate garden-making, fishing and motoring days,
,and spring house-cleaning time is still far enough in tho fu
ture for house-managers to ponder the subject without a
sense of dreud.
Management is the factor Hint determines whether or nut
n business earns a profit.
Thus far the American dollar scents to be the most suc
cessful universal language.

Health Talks
MKNACK OF HAIIIKN
rfablen continues to he a b-uoms
mennrc The number of dog bites rc-
ported constantly is increasing and
while the Pasteur antl-rables treat
ment Is In most instances promptly
and effectively administered, occa
sionally fatal cases of hydrophobia
are reported.
A recent death from rabies in
! Philadelphia stresses the lmoortance
; of prompt treatment In all cases of
. ones by unidentified animals,
j: In the Philadelphia case a 4-year-old
boy was bitten on the ear by a
I mongrel dog after the animal had
been struck by an automobile.
I The location of the bite hastened
' tho fatal development of the disease,
' for experience has taught thut the
I nearer the bite Is to the brain the
more rapidly the disease is liable to
I develop.
The virus of hydrophobia, which
! Is the Bpeclflc agent causing the dis
ease peculiarly travels along nerves
that reach the brain ultimately.
The Pasteur -anti - hydrophobia
treatment can be looked upon as a
raco between science and death, be
tween the attempt to develop resist
ance against hydrophobia, and the
advance of disease condition. Time
Is tho essence of effective treatment
and delay In Instituting treatment
la dangerous.
In dealing with rabies it must be
kept? in mind that. It Is primarily a
disease of dogs and secondarily only
of man. The disease can be exter
minated by means of appropriate
measures directed toward dogs.
England proved that it la prac
tically possible to eliminate rabies by
proper supervision of dogs. In 1895
there were 672 cases and 20 rabies
deaths In England and Wales.
Tho muzzling law was then en
forced and proper and effective quar
antine measures were Instituted, with
the result that by 1000 the'incldence
of rabies was reduced to 6 cases and
no deaths.
Chats With
Parents
IMtAISE
Ity Alice Jiidson I'eiile
Praise Is one of the most effective
means of directing and controlling
.children's behavior.
I? Even a tiny baby responds to the
smile or parental approval oy trying
to repeat the action which evoked it.
(We should therefore be careful to
praise the right thing, and to do It
in BUch a manner as to encourage
only the desirable part of the child's
uenavior.
Because we are pleased with the
child when he has done something wo
like, it is natural for us to exclaim
in such a way as to draw his atten
tion to himself, Instead of to the
thing he has done.
: If Mary has conscientiously picked
up the scraps of paper with which
she has littered the floor, we are apt
Ho exclaim, "What a dear good child
you are!
It Is mucn oettor to say. "That's
fine. Just see how nice the floor
looks now. That mokes It so much
easier for mother."
Put In this way, the praise centers
tho child's attention on her achieve
ment, Inspiring her to repeat the act
another, time to win the oame warm
praise.
The distinction Is not unimportant,
for In the development of the ahlld
character it makes a great deal of
difference whether or not his Interest
is increasingly drawn away from him
self toward satisfaction in his good
behavior and achievement for its own
sake.
It Is also had to praise a child In
discriminately. Unless praise is earned
through effort and success. It loses
all proper significance. uncarneu
nrnlsn lends the child to exnect It as
a matter o'r 'course and dTscourage.
tho effort necessary to win It any-
where but at homo.
Mothers should therefore make
doily opportunities for tho child to
achieve thoso little successes for
which he may Justly be praised. and
which stimulate him to further ef
fort and further achievement.

COLOMBIA TAXES BOOST ,

BOGOTA, Colombia () The price
of beer and gasoline have jumped,

Olaya. The law is to operate for five
years.
A Deer drinker now pays eight
cents tax every time he has another
quart. Sixty per cent of this income
goes to his home department or state,
while 40 per cent goes to the federal
government. The government expects
to get $1,252,000 from beer this year,
but after 1931 all the beer tax will
go to the departments.
And in Bogota, capital of an oil
producing nation, motorists are pay
