The average boy seeks companonship, and he

some boy. The reason he does

to his father is because the parent repels him. The parental indifference is not a purposeful one,

but one that springs from neglect.

Too many fathers shirk .this responsibility. - They seem to believe that if they provide shelter,

clothing, food and schooling for the boy, they have fulfilled their obligation. Providing for the - physical comforts of a son is essential, but this

only a small part of the parental Far greater still is the duty of the lad, being his counsellor, his

" sharer of his joys and sorrows, and his faithful monitor. And this task is not so difficult as some may imagine it to be. Every" boy seeks information. Problems of school, of sport and recreation are the ones usually brought by a son to his father. A true father is always willing to lay aside some ; of his cares and eliminate some of his own rec

This of- ; fer applies strictly to Information. The I bureau does not srtve advice on leeal. medical and financial matters. It does , not attempt to settle domestic troubles, nor to undertake exhaustive research "on any subject. Write your question - plainly and briefly. Give full name and - address and enrlose two cents In stamps ; for return postage. All replies are seat direct to the inquirer. Q. Do other countries hare Indian ; eummer? H. J. D. A. In Europe the recurrence of ; mild weather in the late autumn is ' known aa Saint Martin's summer and has bf'en recognized for probably a thousand years. The legend is that St. Martin, dressed as a beggar, sat . before th portal of a church on an exceptionally bleak day of the late fall. He was suffering severely from exposure. A knight, passing the church, saw the shivering beggar, and tearing his cloak in two gave the beggar half. In recognition of the act, St. Martin, by a perpetual miracle, caused mild weather to return annually at this season. The half-warmth or the half summer symbolizes the halfwarmth of the part of the knight's 'cloak. St. Martin's summer was an institution long before the Indians or Indian summer were known, but it is ihe same phenomenon known by a different name. Q. In raveling and re-knlttlng a sweater, can the yarn be straightened out? T. P. A. The sweater should be washed, then raveled, the yarn being wound into balls. It should then be made into hanks. Dip these into warm water and hang up to dry. If the yard isn't fairly straight it may be "dipped a second time. After the sweater is knited, cow'r it with a damp cloth and pres3 with a moderately hot iron. Any remaining crinkle will be taken from the yarn. Q. 13 chess really frozen out wheat? A. H. A. Chws, also called cheat, is a kind nf brome trrass which is a troublesome weed in wheat fields, and is also erroneously regarded as degenerated or changed wheat. It bears a very slight resemblance to oats, and if reaped and ground up with wheat, so as to be used for iood, is said to produce narcotic effects. A. Are theTe any wolves or coyotes south of St. Louis? R. H. A. These animals are found as far south as Texas. Q. Did the United States government ever make 25 cents and 50 cent gold coins? G. H. B. A. The Federal gove nment has never made any 25 cent pieces or half dollars. Such coins were made by individuals, but were never sanctioned bv the United States government and all such coinage is now prohibited. The gold half dollar and quarter were really miniatures of the jiftv dollar "slug' ana were uoi menikU for circulation. Many of these are of base metal thinly coated with gold, and of no value at all. After Dinner Stories It was in the days when "woman " suffrage" was a burning issue, and not a triumphant fact, that the husband of a certain well-known suffrage worker was being bored by his dinner partner, of uncertain age, who was endeavoring to impress him with her appealing femininity. "I always say that I .don't know whether I am in favor of woman suffrage or not." she said. "Of course an unmarried woman don't have anyone to represent her, but I am sure if I had a husband I wouldn't want to vote." she went on playfully. "I would feel that he was perfectly capable of representing me, and I would want him to do it." She paused, waiting for the expected compliment"Yes," answered her companion, weariedly, "but you see a woman always has so much more confidence in her husband before she gets him than she does afterward."

Ship Subsidy Bill Looms Bill to Be One of the Main Subjects Before Congress Opponents Gather Their Forces.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 30. The ship subsidy bill, already strenously fought over in preliminary skirmishes, is to be one of the main subjects before congress at the next session. Representative Greene, of Massachusetts, author and champion of the bill, confidently predicts that his measure will come through the conflict safely, however, and that the American flag will once more assume its old prominence on the high seas. The shipping question Is complicated and the bill is technical. The situation briefly 13 that an American merchant fleet, built at enormous cost in wartime, lies idle in our yards. The shipping board still has in its charge 1,675 ships, of which some 1,200 are inactive. The board, would like to sell all of these ships to private firms, recover some of its In vestment, and go quietly out of exist ence. America has no large, dependable marine to carry its cargoes, and here are almost 1,700 ships, the nucleus of a first class shipping Industry. But private capital Is not coming forward to operate the ehips. As matters stand, a foreign freighter with cheap European or oriental labor can be op erated so much more cheaply than an American ship that our business men will not try to compete. The great, potential American marine remains a troublesome white elephant on the hands of the shipping board. The arguments in favor of an Ameri can merchant fleet might be explained here. Chairman Lasker of the shipping board points out that while foreign ships have handled out trade more or less satisfactorily in the past. the situation is different now. When the United States was a debtor na tion, he told the house committee on merchant marine, Europe could be de pended upon to furnish us with ehips because the ships would be used to carry goods to pay off our European debts. Now, we are a creditor nation and Europe has lost her strongest incentive to allow us the use of her ehips. Hence, if in an emergency England or another maritime nation should require its merchant fleet for its own purposes the United States might be left without that many carriers and its trade would be badly crippled. That this did not occur during the recent war, Mr. Lasker has explained, was due to the fact that England needed supplies which the United States could provide. WVith a different combination of the powers and in a different emergency situation, the United States might find itself seriously embarrassed for want of ships. Should Utilize Our Ships. The feeling that this country should not put all of its trust in European tups is growing. Now that we have the makings of a marine it is argued that we should not let the "ships rot because circumstances are unfavorable to American competitors. The result of this feeling is the Greene subsidy bill. This bill would subsidize American ship owners for the next 10 years in which time they would be expected to get firmly on their feet. Money would be loaned to them and in return they would be under contract with the shipping board to operate their vessels along the lines set down In the bill. Advocates of the bill show that France has found it advisable to grant a subsidy to shipping interests and FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED WITH SULPHUR Mentho-Sulphur, a plesant cream. will soothe and heal skin that ia ir ritated or broken out with eczema; mat is covered wun ngiy rasn or pimples, or is rough or dry.

The moment this sulphur prepara tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth.

It is so long since this country had a merchant marine -of any importance that the question is occasionally raised as to whether Americans are really suited t osea faring. Perhaps it Is not advisable for us to try to compete with sea loving nations, it is suggested History shows that through colonial times and almost up to the Civil war this country was a maritime powerIts clippers proudly carried the flag over the trade lanes of the seas. Then the hard life and adventures of the sea lost their attractiveness for Americans. There was money and adveuture in the west and in home trade European Bhip3 would carry the cargoes. America gave up her place in the shipping world and now she shrinks from the struggle necessary to establish ships and routes, especially in view of the high American scale of wages and costs. Roosevelt Favored Ship Subisidy. President Roosevelt tried to revive the interest in American shipping in 1905 to keep In this country some of the millions paid to Europe for carriers. The Gallinger ship subsidy bill, which succumbed to persistent filibustering in the Senate, was the only result. Now, Representative Greene has taken the merchant marine on his shoulders. He is one of veterans of the house, outranked in point of con tinuous service only by Speaker Gil lette. He knows congressional tactics and he knows shipping. Ever since his first term in the house, 24 years ago, he has been a member of the committee on shipping and for eight years he has been chairman. His dis trict is a shipping center and his con stituents are said to approve his attempts at reviving American sea traditions. It is prophesied that the Greene bill will pass the house. In the senate, long speeches and filibustering may be fa tal, as in the case of the Gallinger bill. The final question is whether the American merchant marine is of suf ficient importance to the national in terests to be given government aid at this time, and if so, how much aid is advisable. Few persons interested In the bill, however, are viewing the matter from a general viewpoint. Shipping interests are strongly In fa vor of the proposed government aid for their business. They consider it only just that the Republican party which believes in protecting other in dustnes by tariff should help the struggling ship owners. Enemies of the bill say that the peo ple should not be burdened further that shipping has not been subsidized in this country; the subsidy is an ex perunent which will not put shipping on its feet, and that it will only in volve the country In heavy expense Estimates as to what the burden will amount to vary widely. Lasker says: "It Is estimated that in order to develop a balanced fleet of 7,500,000 gross tons, which would carry 50 per cent at least of all branches of our overseas trade, the cost to the treas ury will ultimately approximate $30,000,000 (a year), though for the first year It is estimated at only $15,000,000. Representative Davis, opposing the bill, says that "the subsidies and aids Have Color in Cheeks Be Better Looking Take Olive Tablets If your skin Is yellow complexion pallid tongue coated appetite poor you have a bad taste In your mouth a lry. no-grood feeling- you should take Olive Tablets.

The three heads of the tripod matches will be welded together, and they can then bs lifted with the fourth match. Copurieht, int. by Public Lda'T Company provided in the bill would cost more in three years than the $200,000,000 which the shipping board hopes to derive from the sale of the ships, not to speak of the $125,000,000 loan at two per cent interest for at least 15 years, and the further fact that the annual cost of at least $75,000,000 would continue indefinitely." Proponents of the subsidy bill are said to be interested in it for what they get out or it. Enemies of the project on the other and have been accused of being pro-European, on the ground that foreign ships will prosper from American cargoes if we do not build up our own marine. It is a complicates question. The committee hearings alone on the bill fill two volumes each two inches thick. And the battle royal in the senate is yet to come.

When a Feller Needs a Friend

WITHIN YOU IS YOUR POWER TO SUCCESS By George Matthew Adams

It is that within ns which moves all that is without us. Many human beings are surrounded by an atmosphere of nothingness, whereas merely to meet others is to feel an immediate contact with their inner life and thought. Why is it that some people inspire us the minute we talk to them and others repulse us, even before a single word is spoken? Only today I had such an experience. I went into an office on a business call. One man by his very glance seemed to freeze me in spirit. Not that I was afraid of him any way, but that I immediately realized uselessness of talking to him or seeking to convince him of anything. I seemed to sense his thoughts before they were expressed. Within him lived from day to day insincere purposes. ( Into another office I went. The very expression on the face of the one to whom I talked, told me I was dealing with a real man, whose loveliness ot spirit and straightforwardness could be questioned by no one. I would welcome an argument from such a man. The thing that makes us happy and leads us on the way to worthwhileness and even greatness, is to have the best that is in us brought out by the best in other people. And this is just as natural a process as the drawing out of the water of the earth by the Sun. Within us is our success, our happiness our destiny! We must study ourselves, translate ourselves by meditation, and by learning from all that we see and experience. As we grow in knowledge and understanding, we grow in breadth of thought and sympathy. And it is only as we see ourselves in the world responsible to the innermost urges of our natures for right living and achievement, that we become powerful in our own right. Within us is love, beauty, and contentment. Just the minute that we unite these forces with those about us in the outer world, we find peace and joy. There is no more truthful statement than this; He can who "thinks he can!

Oh, every moment some one sighs, and wishes he were dead, for he Is tired of swatting flies, ot eating daily bread; he's tired of swapping futile lies concerning days long sped. These rich men never learned to play, or loaf the long hours through; when in their prime each busy day showed some one they could do; some other rich men they might flay were everymore in view. They never learned in all their v days the use of useless things, like arguing with idle jays of cabbages and kings, of finding out, in fifty ways, the joy that loafing brings. They never learned to play vain tricks that do not bring in kale, to make toy houses -out of bricks, or read Old Sleuth tale; and so they file their weary kicks, and say mat nie is stale.

There were no sidewalks worth mentioning, houses were paint ed once in fifty years, the drainaga system was so poor that water stood in the streets for a week after a rainstorm, a Btranger was about aa welcome as a case of smallpox at Ellis Island, and the telephones worked every other Thursday, but the folks got together two or three times a week and whooped er up for civic pride.
