ILK PRICE PROBE
IS BEGUN BY MAYOR

IIlliBIIIBiiiill
Three Disinterested Citizens
Appointed to Investigate
Present Conditions.
EXPENSE SAVING IS AIM
Mr. Baker Believes Plan Can Be
Devised by Which Duplication
of Cost May Be Avoided to
' Benefit of Consumer.
A commission, appointed by Mayor
Baker, will attack the proposed ad
vance in milk prices and attempt to
find U way to keep prices at the lowest
possible point consistent with fair
profits to the producers. It is hoped
that through improved distribution
economies can be effected that will
prevent undue price advances.
Henry E. Reed, Mrs. W. B. Ayer and
W. L. Brewster were named yesterday
by Mayor Baker to form this commis
sion. It will make a careful survey
of the milk situation and report at an
early date. The health officials and
the entire city administration will aid
the commission in its work of investi
gation and in correcting: any evil" that
may be uncovered.
Situation Becoming; Serious.
Mayor Baker made the following;
statement yesterday:
"The question of milk production,
distribution and cost to the consumer
has been one of more or less concern
for some time past, and indications
point to a more serious situation dur
ing the coming Winter than has existed.
"Although milk prices have advanced,
both the producer and distributor claim
they are not satisfied with present con
ditions and that further advances in
cost to the consumer will be necessary
to continue operation.
Saving; Expense la Aim.
"It is evident that with a shortage
of supply in sight, as claimed by the
producers, something is wrong with the
present system of handling the milk
supply, and it is believed that a plan
can be devised which will avoid dupli
cation of expenses on the part of pro
ducer and distributor and thereby. ac
complish a material saving which, it is
hoped, will provide these agents with
a. fair profit and protect the public
against unnecessary advances.
"I have appointed a milk commission,
composed of Henry E. Reed, Mrs. W. B.
Ayer and "W. L. Brewster, to make a
thorough investigation of existing con
ditions with a view of. ascertaining
where the present system is wrong and
how existing errors can be corrected.
' City Will Aid Commission.
"The members of the commission
have consented to serve, fully realizing
the work involved and the importance
to the public of solving this problem.
They have no personal interest in the
issue in any way, therefore they are in
& position to investigate all angles of
the question and form their conclusions
without partiality, having in mind the
Interests of those engaged in the milk
business and the public at large.
The city will aid the commission in
every way. The health bureau and the
services of Mr. Humason will be at
their disposal, and I shall take a per
sonal interest in the investigations and
results. I want everything possible
done successfully to solve this prob
lem at an early date."

' CHILD
BV WILLIAM BYRON FORBJJSH.PH.D.
TTT ELL. there's one consolation
YY about Joe. I know he is obsti
nate, but obstinacy is a sign of a
strong character."
Is it? A little analysis of the occa
sions of obsttinacy among children will
show that this is by no means always
the case
Some children are obstinate merely
because they are lazy So long as It
requires less effort to hold back than to
move in the required direction they will
sit tight This means weakness rather
than strength.
Some children are obstinate because
they are weary of tour exactions. We
have asked them to perform so many
meaningless obligations that at length
they rebel. This is particularly true
when we interrupt them. Children are
more Intense in their play than we ever
are in our work, and when we break
up a fascinating game ruthlessly the
current gets short-circuited and sparks
fly. Obstinacy then is natural, but it
ia not necessarily a sign of vigor.
Obstinacy Dae to Fear.
The most common exhibition of ob
stinacy comes when we adults deter
mine to force obedience. The giant
stands over the pigmy and shouts:
"We'll see who is master. If you don't
obey me, I'll .break your stubborn will
before we're gone a day further."
Which he proceeds to endeavor to do
by beating his small body.
Often the parent is surprised to And
how much resistance the child will,
make to' his rigorous treatment.
Knowing nothing better to do, he con
tinues it as long as he dares. Then he
may have to desist, or acknowledge
himself defeated.
Now frequently this is not obBtinacy.
More likely it is mental and physical
paralysis. Under the influence of fear
or excitement, the mind holds nothing
but a benumbing sense of physical im
possibility to act. Instances have been
known in which a child has suffered
himself to be beaten to death rather
than to perform a simple command.
"Implicit" Obedience Is Hit.
"But how then are we going to get
implicit obedience?"
I hit this fetish of "implicit obedi

ence" every time I see its head. Do
you not understand that implicit obe
dience is simply senseless obedience?
To train a child to obey Implicitly Is to
teach him to act without understanding.
If he keeps that up he will become val
ueless as a man. Such obedience is nec
essary only In emergencies, as for ex
ample the rare occasions when a child
Is on the edge of a precipice or is get
ting his garments afire. The unusual
force and agitation of our commands at
such a time will secure prompt enough
compliance without the necessity of
previous drill. Just as soon as a child
is old enough to have sense, it- Is time
he should use It, and he has a right to
use It.
What is it you are really after? Is
it to get some specific duty done, or is
it to form the child's volitions in favor
of always doing what is right? Of
course, the latter. Do you think you
can force the formation of a volition by
blows?
Whom Shall Re Obey?
Tn dealing with a child who is obsti
nate by nature or who has been made
so through frequent collisions we ought
to try to work through a process and
not by a catastrophe. It is not often
necessary to spring things. We do not
need to create impossible situations, for
it is we usually who make them. Often
we can prepare the child for a duty by
expressions of confidence In his will
ingness or ability. We can shift the
time, so as to give his mind leisure to
act favorably.
Attitude is everything. We can win
so easily through affection: why take
the hard way? If tempted to be Irritat
ed, and If you notice that the child is
getting so, hold fast to this rule: "Only
one gets mad ak a time in this house."
Best of all, arrange the situation al
ways so that if the child struggles his
struggle shall not be with you, but
himself. Let the question appear to
him always to be, not: Must I obey
mother? but. Will I do what is right?
Get above the petty squabble between
his will and yours to the real question,
which is not: Shall he mind you? but.
Shall he control himself ?'

ANSWERS
ARE you making yourself and every
one else unhappy by being a
grouch? Are you complaining about
your Job or your home or your friends,
and thinking everything except your
self is wrong?
If so. look in the mirror. See those
lines of worry and that mean expres
sion. You'd better change your tactics
or you'll be a fright soon. Yesterday
I saw a woman in a most expensive
automobile and I know she has more
money than she can spend and a fine
home and a good husband, but she was
looking so sour and mean she was a
Joy-killer. Her mouth turned down
at the corners worse than ever. I
wondered if some hard knocks and
some hard work and a little self-denial
wouldn't be good for that woman. But
it shouldn't take hard luck to make us
appreciate our blessing! and try to
make the best of what we have. It's
easy to say mean things and be unkind
if you enjoy it, but it's easier to be
kind and to look for the good in the
world and In "the other fellow" and
think what a lot bett -r It is to make
happiness Instead of trouble.
