A common Bin among otherwise decent
enough parents Is rudeness toward their
children. We little realise the sufferings
children undergo from hurt feelings.
The most Inexcusable form of parental
rudeness is the reproof of children In the
presence of others. You would far better
strike your child In the face than say
some cutting sarcasm to him that hu
miliates him before strangers.
There is but one way to make your
child uniformly respectful and polite to
you and to all he meets, and that is to
be uniformly polite to him and consid
erate of his feelings.
The ornament of a home is courtesy. ?
Would you like a few samples of the
common rudeness of parents? Here they
are.
"Get up out of that chair. Don't you
know enough to offer your chair to a
lady?"
"Look at your face! Go and wash your
self this minute!"
"Leave the table!"
"So you didn't pass your examination?
Well, that's about what I expected!"
"Quit that!"
"Qo away!"
"Now don't try to be smarty!"
All these before company.
No child was ever Improved by these
tactics. They irritate, excite rebellion,
and where they do not prematurely har
den the child's feelings they are the cause
of intense pain.
, Whatever rebuke you may feel called
upon to give, let it wait until you and
the little girl or boy are alone together.
I remember once a domineering old
preacher was visiting at my father's
house. Dinner was over and only my
father and his guest remained chatting,
while I, a boy of perhaps seven, stood
about listening to their conversation. By
and by I went up to the table, took a
piece of cake and stood eating it The
preacher thereupon proceeded to admin
ister a sharp rebuke to me.
"Don't you know," he said, "that It is
not good manners to take food from the
table? Put that cake back; and If you
want more to eat. sit up and take it like
a gentleman!"
"Come here, son," said my father; and
putting hie arm about me, as I was sob
bing with anger and chagrin, he said:
"Mr. Barker. I always speak respect
fully to my children, and I expect other
people to do the same. Your language is
brutal, and a far greater offense to good
breeding than was my boy's act."
I forget what happened after that. I
only remember that I felt such a surge
of love toward my father that I gladly
would have died for him.

Aldermanic Committee De
clares Problem One of
Administration.
NEW YORK. March 10.-The police
problem of New Tork city la primarily
one of administration, according: to the
preliminary legislative report of the al
dermanic committee, appointed to In
vestigate police conditions, which has
been made public. The present situation,
the committee believes, demands "sus
tained administrative efficiency." The re
port will be submitted to the board of
aldermen, and If approved, copies will
be sent to the governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and members of the state assembly
and senate at Albany.
The principle of home rule predominates
the report. The committee urges that the
question of opening liquor stores and
saloons on Sunday be left to the local
legislative authorities. Much space is
given to the administrative side of the
police departments
"We have, received shocking evidence of
a widespread corrupt alliance between
the policai and gamblers- and disorderly
house keepers," the report says. "The
elimination of this grafting is one of the
most difficult and important problems
with which we are confronted. We feel
that a police commissioner with a fixed
tenure, with an adequate staff of deputy
commissioners, with an ample fund for
the employment of a secret service en
tirely outside of the department, would In
time secure and maintain an administra
tive efficiency that would reduce this evil
to a minimum."
The committee opposes the proposal for
two departments for the enforcement of
the laws for th^ prevention of gambling
and suppression of the so-called social
evil.
INVENTS HEW AEMOE PLATE.
Young "Englishman Claims Great
Things for His Discovery.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, March 1. 1013.
What promises to be an important de
velopment In the process of making
armor plate Is a discovery made by Wil
liam Henley Worrall of Sheffield, an
engineer twenty-five years old.
He claims to be able to produce armor
plate that effects a net weight saving of
15 per cent. One successful test already
has been carried out, and if his expecta
tions are Justified and his process adopted
it will mean that the battleship so armed
j would be capable of materially Increased
speed with the same engine power. Fur
ther, he claims for his Invention that the
resistance of the plate Is greatly strength
ened. The ordinary armor plate has a
hardened back and front and a soft core.
Mr. Worrall's plate consists of a number
of small plates hardened and bonded
together, so that the core of the plate
contains layers of steel as hard as the
surface. This, he contends, breaks up
and distributes the force of a projectile.
He arrived at his conclusions from
studying the effect of the impact of one
body upon another, and hafe had an
eight-Inch plate made by his process
which resisted a fourteen-lnoh shell. Such
a shell would have pierced the ordinary
armor. Mr. Worrall has approached the
admiralty, but was reticent about the
negotiations or his future.
SITE IS STILL UNDETERMINED.
? ? I
New Capital of India Hay Be South
of Delhi.
Foreign Correspondence of The Stir.
DELHI, January 10. 1013.
The latest indications are that the gov- j
I ernment of India will build the new capi
tal on a site to the south of the present
Delhi. Many and powerful arguments
have been advanced In favor of adopting
a site on the present civil station, with
important government buildings on the
historic ridge, but the question of ex
pense In the matter of compensating the
present lessees, and the difficulty of pro
viding accommodation for the govern
ment while the work Is being carried out
are probably turning the scale in favor of
the southern site.
It is estimated that compensation alone
would cost $5,000>000 If the civil station
were taken over, and, further, there is
the question of future development on
the civil station site. This would be lim
ited. (but on the southern site there would
be ample space.
The decision of the government will not
be made known until the return of the
viceroy
Lord Hardinge has benefited wonderful
ly from his stay at Dehra Dun, at the
foot of the Himalayas. He has been
through a very bad time. It is now two
months since the attack on him and his
recovery has been slow. There has been
a considerable shock, not only physically,
but to his personal confidence In the peo
ple of India. The talk of his leaving
India, however, is unfounded.

ACCUSES BIDING MASTER.
Daughter of Famous Artist Says He
Extorted Money From Her.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, March 1, 1918
Miss Laurence Alma-Tadema, daughter
of the late Sir L. Alma-Tadema, the fa
mous artist, told a curious story of an
alleged fraud at Marylebone police court
a few days ago. Alphonse Carlens, aged
fifty, a Belgian riding master, was charg
ed with obtaining $50 from her by false
pretenses and with attempting to obtain
a further sum.
Miss Tadema, who lives at Qroce End
road, said the prisoner first called on her
January 9. representing that he was t?fc
brother of her mother's godson and the
son of an old friend of her father. He:
was in trouble, he said, and wanted
money. Believing his story, sheg ave hlin
$80. Since then he had written from
Brussels In the name of Victor Lagye,
asking for more money. On making In
quiries, however, $he found that M. Vic
tor- Lagye was a well known Journalist
In Paris.
The prisoner then wrote asking to see
her, and she called In three detectives,
who were present in 'hiding during the
Interview. The prisoner adhered to his
statements, and finally the detectives ap
peared and arrested him.
Carlens, who was well dresped and of
gentlemanly appearance, said he had
married an English lady and since gone
through about $230,000. He was re

seen that description applied to a heroine,
but it suits the tots and sounded well,
and she was proud of it. She hoped the
judge and Mrs. Graves would look toward
her, but it was several days before they
did. Her window was open and she flut
tered a handkerchief. The Judge raised
his hat and Mrs. Graves bowed. After
that every time they came out they
glanced her way.
Pern was feeling particularly well one
morning. She wore a dress with ribbons
and was bolstered up in a big chair at the
window. Ostensibly she was watching
arriving flocks of birds, but when Mrs.
Graves came out she called to her:
"Couldn't you come over a minute? I'm
laid up, you see, and can't get out. It
would be the broadest charity," she add
ed, after ransacking her memory for
something brilliant. "You look so happy
It makes me feel better Just to see you."
Mrs. Graves put her hand through the
window and patted Pern's scrawny fin
gers. "That," she laughed, "is because I
am happy, so happy that I have no words
to describe it."
"You look it," Pern said, "but I don't
see how you can be. I hope I'll never
marry an old man."
Mrs. Graves looked at her a moment,
and then her face shone. "You can't
understand," she smiled. "I love a.nd
admire my husband beyond words. I am
very happy."
"I'm fourteen," Pern informed her, a
little stiffly, "but I guess I don't under
stand. My father's a judge, and my
mother, who is almost as pretty as you
are, married him."
Mrs. Graves laughed, and after that
she came often to Pern's window, and
the tots were frequent visitors in her
room. But presently there was a change,
Pern had never g&en such family parties.
The place swarmed. Mrs. Graves grew
pale and thin and looked too tired to
stand. She told Pern she felt so.
The doctor came out and fitted a new
brace to Pern's spine, and brought her a
pair of crutches, telling her she was to
go home for a week, and longer, if she
kept improving. In the excitement of
going Pern forgot her proteges com
pletely, and remembered them only when
she had been home a week, and saw
Mrs. Graves and her little tots in front
of her. They were creeping along, su
premely wretched.
Pern didn't get home till after dark,
and then was ?o ylldly excited that the
doctor had to be called to quiet her. A
few days afterward she was back to
her grandmother's, considerably the worse
for her visit, but consumed with an
opinion she meant to deliver at the earli
est possible moment.
It was not long she had to wait. Judge
Graves came slowly down his walk and
let himself into his house with a latch
key. Then Pern, Without anybody's leave,
took her crutches and went over. The
door was open and Judge Graves leaned
tiredly back in an armchair.
"You are the little invalid from acr.Vs
the way," he said kindly. "Will you.
sit?"
Pern sat on the edge of a chair. When
at last she opened her Hps she was sur
prised to hear herself say: '1 guess you
are sick, aren't you?"
The judge passed his hand over the
whitest face Pern thought she had ever
seen. "Not sick, thank you," he said, i
"I am grieved and Kreatly worried."
Then the deeps of Pern's indignation
burst forth. "If you are," she flung at
him, "why did you allow your children
to run over and browbeat your wife and
abuse her children. And if they loved
you so much that they wanted to visit
you by the month, why aren't th*y here
now taking care of you, and"?with a
glance of scorn at the disordered rooms?
"cleaning up the muss they made? But
not they. They never lifted a finger, and
your wife was worked to death."
Pern paused for breath, and sternly
eyed the Judge, who was leaning forward
and breathing hard.
"I?I?didn't know. I never guessed,"
he said.
"Then why don't you go after'her and
bring her back? I myself helped her
to get back her old dingy apartment and
find a Job. She couldn't get her place
in your court again, because her fingers
were so stiff from work for your?your^
relatives," she finished a little more deli
cately, seeing him flinch. "She had to
take piece work."
The judge got up and took his hat.
but when he reached the door he turned
and went back. -1ChlId," he said, "I can't
thank you, but you have done her and
me a favor that neither of us will ever
forget." Then he started down the walk.
Pern's dignity vanished. "If you are
going to fetch her," she screeched after
the rapidly disappearing- judge, "she's at
3S7 Chestnut street. Take the 3th street
car at the station. Transfer to the Wash
ington line at 14th. Two blocks to the
left. Fifth floor. Don't forget."

Little Stories for Bedtime.
HAPPY JACK SQUIRREL MAKES AN
UNEXPECTED CALL.
By Thornton W. Burgess.
Happy Jack Squirrel likes the snow.
He always has liked the snow. It
makes him feel frisky. He likes to
run and jump in it and dig: little holes
in it after nuts which he hid under the
leaves before the snow fell. When his
feet get cold all he lias to do is to
scamper up a-tree and wartn them in
his own fur coat. So the big snow
storm which made so much trouble for
Unc' Billy Possum Just suited Happy
Jack Squirrel, and he had a whole lot
of fun making his funny little tracks
all through that part of the green
forest In which he lives.
Happy Jack didn't know anything
about Unc' Billy Possum's troubles. He
supposed that Unc' Billy was safe at
home in his own big hollow tree fast
asleep, as he had been most of the
winter. Happy Jack couldn't under
stand how anybody could want to sleep
in such fine weather, but that was their
own business, and Happy Jack had
learned a long time ago n?t to worry
about other people's business. So he
frisked about this way and frisked
about that way In the snow, and raced
up to the tops of the tallest trees and
down again, Just for fun and because
he felt so good.
Sometimes he would atop to rest.
Then he .would sit up very straight and
fold his hands across his breast, where
they would get nice and warm in the
fur of his coat. His beautiful, great
gray tail would be arched up over his
back. His bright eyes would snap and
twinkle and then he would shout Just
for joy, and every time he shouted he
jerked his big tail. Farmer Brown's
boy called it barking, but it was happy
Jack's way of shouting, and this is
what he would say:
I Into to romp! I lore to pUy!
I'm happy, happy all (be day!
I fcwre the snow ao soft and white!
I lore the ran that ahlnea ao bright!
I lore the whole world, for, tou we.
The world la rerj good to.me!
By and by Happy Jack came to the
hollow, tree that Parmer Brown's boy
had cut down because he thought that
Unc' Billy Possum was inside of it.
"Hello!" exclaimed Happy Jack,
"that's one of the old storehouses of
my cousin, Chatterer the Red Squirrel!
I've got an old storehouse near here J
and I guess I'll see if I hate left any
nuts in it."
He scampered over to another hollow
tree standing near. He scampered up
the tree as only Happy Jack -can. and
whisked in at thd operi doorway of the
hollow. Now, Happy Jack had been in
that hollow tree so often that he didn't
once think of looking to see where he
was going, and so he landed plump on
something that was soft and warm!
Happy Jack was so surprised that he
didn't know what to do for a second.
And then all in a flash that something
soft and warm waft full of sharp claws
and sharper teeth, and an angry growl
ing filled the hollow tree.
Happy Jack was so frightened that
he scrambled out as fast as he could.
When he was safely outside he grew
very an'gry to. thihk that any one
should be in hi? storehouse,, even if it
was an old one. He could hear a very
angry voico inside and in a minute who
should appear at the doorway but Unc'
Billy Po?8um! Unc' Billy had been
4
waked Out of a Round sleep, and that
was enough to make any one cross.
Besides, he had been badly frightened,
and that made him crosser still.
"What do yo' mean by trying to
frighten honest people," snapped Unc'
Billy, when he caught sight of Happy
Jack.
"What do you mean by stealing into
other folks houses?" demanded Hap
py Jack, just as angrily.

HIGHER MEAT PRICES FEARED.
Beef and Mutton Made Scarce in
Ireland by Reason of Disease.
Foreign Oorrejrpondpneo of The Star.
DUBLIN. March 1, 1913.
It is feared In Dublin that there will be
an Immediate Increase in the already high
prices of beef and mutton. This Is said
to be due to the fact that when foot and
mouth disease broke out so many ani
mals were slaughtered that farmers failed
to keep up their stock, and there Is now
a dearth of cattle on the market.
In addition to this English buyers are
offering very high prices for suitable ani
mals. An advance of $2.50 per cwt. has
taken place in the price of cattle since
September last, and In the same period
sheep have advanced from 11 cents to 18
cents per pound. It is believed that the
price of beef will go up to $12.50 per
cwt. before next (May.
Victualers in Dublin attribute the pres
ent situation to the want of expert
knowledge in dealing with the outbreak
of foot and mouth disease on the part of
the farmers, who allowed their stocks
of cattle and sheep to run down.
"COW" A DEADLT INSULT.
Judge Forgets His Philosophy When
Prisoner Applies Term.
Foreign Correspondence of Th* Star.
PABIS, March 1, 1913.
The most deadly Insult one can offer to
a Frenchman is to call him a "cow."
A few days ago In the Rennes appeal
court M. de Savlgnon Laromblere, the
judge, explained to a policeman that a
cow was "a noble and beautiful animal."
and. therefore, its name could not be
considered a term of opprobrium. Yes
terday a vagabond who came up on ap
peal before U. de Savlgnon Larombiere
had his original term of imprisonment
doubled. On hearing the sentence the
prisoner called the judge an "old cow."
Immediately the Judge, forgetting his
philosophic defense of a few days before,
ordered the vagabond's term of Imprison
ment to be further Increased by five years
for insulting him.
Thankful for One Thing.
From Judge.
"Whew!" sniffed the dray horse, as a
smoking motor ear rushed by. "I have
some faults, I know, but thank good
ness, I never learned to smoke!" -

SWEARS OATH OF LOYALTY.
Emperor William Assures New
Catholic Archbishop of Royal Favor.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
? BERLIN, March 1, 1918.
The new Roman Catholic archbishop of
Cologne, Dr. von Hartmann, who was
elevated to the See in succession to
Cardinal Fischer last autumn, has sworn
the oath of allegiance to the Emperor
William in the Knights' Hall of the royal
castle. He was introduced to his majesty,
who was accompanied by the imperial
chancellor, by the Prussian minister of
education, and swore his oath of loyalty
as "called with the gracious consent of
his majesty to the See of Cologne by the
election of the chapter confirmed by the
holy father."
He said that. Inspired personally since
his early years with a sense of loyalty
to the dynasty, he would do his utmost
to shield and cultivate this sense in the
hearts of his flock.
"The bolder and more desperate were
the attacks of the powers of revolution
and negation, which beat round the bases
of the throne and the altar," the more
instant was this task of his.
Referring to a stained glass window
presented last year by the Emperor Wil
liam to Cologne cathedral, which repre
sents Pope Leo III appealing for protec
tion to Charlemagne, the archbishop ex
pressed the hope that Emperor William
would extend to his subjects of the Cath
olic Church the same gracious favor
which Charlemagne had given. In re
ply. his majesty assured the archbishop
of his royal favor and benevolence.
NOTORIOUS PIRATE KILLED.
De Tham Had Qiven French Much
Trouble in Indo-China.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, March 1. 1913.
The Governor General of Indo-China re
ports that the De Tham, the notorious
pirate chief, was killed near Kep, In the
Jen district, February 11. The De Tham
had given the French authorities an
enormous amount of trouble. He was
engaged In constant warfare with the au
thorities from 1884 to 1897, when he made
his own terms for peace, receiving a
concession of land in the Jen and a sum
of money to enable him to build a vil
lage. ,
The De Tham remained peaceful until
1907, but he never got out of touch with
members of his old band. In 1007 he
fomented an Insurrection at Hanoi with
the object of seizing the citadel and
town, and attempted to poison the Eu
ropean garrison. The suppression of the
daring pirate was Intrusted to the mili
tary authorities, who began operations
In January, 1909. Slowly, and at the
cost of heavy losses, the French forced
him out of his positions, but after each
engagement the rebel leader always man
aged to escape.
Once when his case seemed to be hope
i less a typhoon put a stop to the French
advance, and he withdrew to a strongly
fortified village. By July, however, the
pirate's power was broken and his ad
herents gradually left him.
The De Tham was as elusive as was
De Wet In the South African war, and
on account of his many appearances
after most definite reports of his death
he was known as the "phantom pirate."
This time there seems to be no doubt
that he is dead, for both the local na
tive authorities and the French govern
ment official In the district have identi
fied the body.

of six men, some of whom are wealthy,
who are charged with systematic poach

STRUGGLE NEAR PRECIPICE.
Soldier Attempts to Hurl Officer Out
Into Space.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
GENEVA, March 1, 1913.
A terrible struggle took place near a
precipice of 3,000 feet, on the south slopes
of the Bernlna range, between an Ital
ian officer and a private.
An Italian custom house patrol, under
the command of Lieut. Roccia, was visit
ing the Alpine posts in the Valteiine on
the Swiss frontier, when the offl?%r had
to reprimand a soldier named Cell. This
man determined to have revenge.
When the patrol was away on other
duty Cell attacked his officer on a lonely
Akplne pass and attempted to throw him
over the precipice. A long struggle fol
lowed, the men being of about equal
strength and unarmed.
The officer, to save his life, bit through
an artery in the -wrist of his subordinate,
who collapsed, owing to the loss of blood.
Soon afterward the patrol arrived and
carried Cell to a hospital in the valley,
where he recovered.
The military court, which has now tried
the case at Milan, took Into consideration
of the soldier, and, above all, the retusal
of the soldier, and above all the refusal
of his officer-victim to prosecute, and sen
tenced Cell to six months' imprisonment.

BUSSIA'S TRADE WITH U. S.
Exports and Imports Are Largely
Increased in Beoent Tears.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
ODESSA. March 1, 1913.
Russia's trade with the .United 8tates
has shown a remarkably rapid increase
during the last decade. In 1902 this coun
try's exports to the United States ware
valued at 3,000,000 roubles. Last year
they were estimated at 65.500,000 roubles,
exclusive of the merchandise going to the
states, via Germany, France and Eng
land. which was valued st 10,000,000 rou
bles.
Approximately stated. Russia's exports
to the United States have increased in
the decade from 3,000,000 roubles to Hi,
000,000 roubles. The imports from America
have augmented "pari passu" with the
exports. Ten years ago they were valued
at 50,000.000 roubles: last year they
were estimated at 180,000,000 roubles.
The chief articles of export are hides
and wool, but other commodities such ss
oaviare. flax, hemp, peltry and manganese
are largely exported to the United States.
The.imports from the United States are
chiefly cotton, valued at 100,000,000 rou
bles, and agricultural machinery, at 30.
000,000 roubles. American cotton Is like
ly in the near future t obecome a de
clining article of import with the ex

In Turkestan and Transcaucasia. Russia
imports a considerable amount of cotton
from Egypt.
