And just at a time when the joys of driving along a nice smooth pike lay in the fact that it was dot ted every mile or so with a “hot dog” stand. But such is life. The things we learn to like most are sooner or later marked “poison” and put on a top shelf where we can’t reach them. And all because we haven’t yet learned that about nine times out of ten the fellow who want to make us believe that something isn’t good for us is only try ing to boost aomething else that ^e can get a profit out of.

To the boy. Daddy is an ideal, a man so skilful! that he can set the pace in any impossible game; so wise that he can build boats and slingshots and kites that soar high; so heroric that he can go out each morn ing into the big world and come back each evening with out a scratch. To the girl daddy i§ the source of candy and dolls and nice dresses; the teller of stories that delight her; the big, strong man who catches her in his arms and squeezes her “most to death.” He is her ideal, too- of man hood. All around us as we go and come- we see these little manife<ations of child-life, but we don’t think much about them. They are taken just as a part of our every-day life. Then there come*, through the columns of the news paper, perhaps, a call from a little child whose father ha* strayed from home, and we begin to realize just how- powerful Daddy is, and what he really means to someone A few days ago we read of an instance of this kind, the case of a little Milwaukee girl who died of a broken heart because he Daddy had taken sick and “gone away.” Her playmate, her child’s ide?.!, was absent and she refuse»' to eat or to be consoled.

What does the word “Dad(|y” mean? Well- joined with the word “Mother” -it means just about everything in the child’s life, including at one end the material playmate and the other divine power and love. -------- o-------- THE HUMAN SIDE OF TELEPHONE SERVICE A Waterman'» Ideal Fountain Pen ia a useful gift that always makes the boy happy.
