"Flag of the free heart's hope and

By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were bora in

Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be

With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming

Have you ever stopped to consider
that mst of the annoying things that
children do' are not deliberate diso
bedience? Most of the time they act
either thoughtlessly or through " mis
take. Just glance over today for instance
in your own home. You feel tired and
nervous and know that things have
seemed go wrong. And you prob
ably have scolded the children for
doing things that made you trouble or
work. But did they really mean to?
Julia tore her new gingham dress
climbing a tree to rescue Muggins, the
pet kitty. Now Julia didn't say, "I'm
going to climb this tree and tear my
dress because mother isn't looking."
But she came home from school
and saw poor kitty yowling from the
topmost branch, where Fido had chas
ed her. And in Julia's heart was just
one desire, to help her petdown. She
acted on impulse and not because she

Now the hole is in the dress and has
to be mended, but surely if we think
of the accident as such and not as a di

can feel no resentment toward the
child. We mothers all tore our dresses
when we were small and our mothers
had to mend them. So let us not clas

other incident. You have told Julia
not to loiter on the -way home from
school; but she goes over to Mary's

not know where she is. This is direct
disobedience. But right here is a sec

THAT PROBLEM OF OBEDIENCE
By Edith Lochridge Reid
have disappointed his audience of enthusiastic supporters
when on Thursday night last he told the Democratic club
of Portland that while taxes were so high as to be "unduly
burdensome and confiseatoiy, he could not promise any
marked reduction if elected governor. He must have not
ed the look of disappointment on their faces before he add
ed that he felt sure of his promise that they would go no
higher. "
In explaining why taxes would not be reduced he
pointed out that the interest on the state bonds must be
paid and the schools must be kept up to the present stand-i
ard of efficiency.
in speaking of the state income' tax initiated by the
grange ne reiterated his endorsement of the measure but
suggested that the legislature could remedy defects next
January.
In this attitude Mr. Pierce does not measure up to his
bold and decided stand on these political issues of a few
months ago at the beginning of the campaign nor even lat
er when at the Democratic banquet in Oregon City he de
clared his desire to be known as the "Veo Governor" and
would if elected cut off $1,500,000 in taxes through use of
tie veto. '
In justice to the candidate it must be said that he
will not pass, if elected, on all expenditures of the state and
that taxes under the present bonded indebtedness will in
clude large sums of interest and that our educational in
stitutions must be well maintained.
But in spite of all this, Mr. Pierce or any other candi
date, should go forward with the expressed determination
to curtail expenditures and hold government costs down
to a basis which will mean a MARKED REDUCTION in
taxes. A cut of $1,500,000 on a total of $9,000,000. the
amount of state tax thi: year, means a cut of over 16 per
cent. And this will mean, if done, a MARKED reduction.
. It is hoped Mr. Pierce has been either misquoted or
that he failed to' qualify his statements to conform to his
former declarations which have made him formidable in
the race for governor.
In the matter of the income tax' the candidateshould
be specific. K law which oh the face of it, shows defects
as he indicated in his speecli and which voted by the people
is at once to be tinkered with by the legislature, should be
made as plain as possible to the voters. Otherwise with

thus defeat the measure containing the paramount prin
j ciple for which Mr. Pierce stands in his campaign for the
C governorship.

child has been consistently taught to
come home at once from the very first
day she started to kindergarten, she
will never go to another child's house
and stay until five o'clock without per
mission. This is a vital point. There
must b no hit-and-miss obedience. To
spank a child one day for loitering and
then go off to the club the next day
and leave her to wander about as she
pleases after school is not consistent
discipline and any child soon realizes
this. Constant obedience becomes in
stinctive habit, and the success of the
whole system depends on starting in
time to discipline and maintain a
steady hand even though it sometimes
is inconvenient for the parents.
When baby first starts deliberately
to throw his spoon off his high chair
and throw his porridge about, that is
the time to teach obedience to the law
of table manners. When he first hits
you with his little fist because you
have reproved him for a Misdemeanor
that is the time to instil into his
mind a respect for authority, and do it
each time he strikes until it becomes
a habit with him to respect you and
your commands.
ine secret of making obedience a
habit is keeping a seady hold over teh
child's actions and' directing him al
ways in each little action until deliber
ate disobedience is reduced to a 'mini
mum. To forbid' the child not to do a
thing on day and then to permit him
to do the same thing the next day is a
course of action which gives- him no
definite idea of what real obedience is.

One of the bright dreams of practical philanthrophy is
projected as a reality in the proposed new Yeoman home
of Portland. Here is represented practical application of
brotherly love.
This institution is intended to serve all children who
are in need of its benef icience. And its purpose is to turn
none away. Neither social, nor political influence nor
even wealth will be a determining factor in the service
here.
The structural features of the home will be specially
adapted to children's needs. School rooms and play
grounds, with trained to children's care and development
will serve to rear 'the unfortunate children ur into man

they say until in their application and results they are

either is the case, the cause should be found and remedied..

Friction consumes power and develops heat and wear.
Sometimes friction is utilized. In the automobile the
friction of the clutch transmits the power of the engine
to the rear or driving wheels, the friction of the tires and
the road surface propels the machine, and the friction of
the brakes stops the car. Friction should be 'confined to
the parts named (the clutch, the tires and the brakes), if
possible.
Lubricating oil used in the automobile to prevent friction
between all moving parts in direct contact has friction
within itself. This friction has to be overcome by and
uses up engine power. The heavier the oil the more its
internal friction, the less power it leaves for useful work.
Increasing Power, Speed and Qasoline '
Mileage
It may be proved that as much as 20 J6 of the power at
the driving wheels may be lost through the use of an
incorrect oil.
The ideal oil is the thinnest oil which will keep the bear
ing surfaces separated and at the same time offer in it
self the least frictional resistance to the engine power
going to the driving wheels.
In addition, this oil must have stability to resist engine
heat, and it must be pure.
Zerolene meets the conditions perfectly. Made from se
lected crudes by our own patented high-vacuum process,
it has great "oiliness, which causes it to cling to bear
ing surfaces while offeringin itself a minimum of frictional
resistance to the engine power; it has great stability to
resist engine heat, and it is pure.
Zerolene reduces friction, and permits the development
of the maximum power, speed dtad gasoline mileage of
-the car.
