Can Be Had Through "Keeping
The Father Who Is Not
Loved or Respected
One of the bitterest things: in many
a man's• life has, been the discovery,
after he has. made a fortune, that he
hes lost his hold upon. his boys.
I have been iii homes• where the re-
lations between father and sons were
So strained and formal that the latter.
would no more think of making a con-
#' fidant of their father than they would
of a stranger..
The mother is sometimes responses
able for this unfortunate -.state' of at::
fairs. I know mothers who have de-'
lib'erately prejudiced their children
against their father. They seem to
be jealous of him, and do all they can
to• poison the young people's. minds
against him, to undermine their love
and respect for him. Sometimes this
Is done by speaking slightingly of the
father. Perhaps he is not much of a
business man, and the mother will
criticize his methods' before them, and
find fault with him regarding his way
of financing the family. Or she will
magnify every weakness, and imper-
fection 'of Iris character, make him ap-
pear weak and contemptible in their
eyes.
There are multitudes of mothers
who, while they have no intention of
injuring the father in the children's
regard., unconsciously do so by the
methods they adopt to control theih..
J ust as many ignorant people will
frighten small children by telling them
that they will call in a big policeman
to arrest them and put them in jail,
thousands of mothers will encourage
fear of the father by making them be-
lieve he is cruel and hard, and that he
will punish them severely for every
little mishap or misdeed of which she
threatens to inform him.
This is very unfair to the father, for
it robs him of his most precious pos-
session—the love,yadmiration, and re-
spect of his children. It helps to build
a barrier between him and his child-
ren, a prejudice which may last a life-
time and. deprive him and them of
much possible lrappdueza. To know
that his children love him dearly and
want to be with him, that they are al-
ways delighted to have him at home,
to have him join them in their play,
is a great compensation to him for the
sacrifices he makes for them.
It is a most unfortunate thing for a
child to look upon his' father as a
cruel task -master Instead of a com-
• panion,, 'to dread meeting him because
he always expects criticism or scold-
ing from him instead of sympathy,
and companionship. Unfortunately
seine fathers. encourage this, feeling.
They will constantly nag and find
fault, and never think of praising their
children or 'expressing any .apprecia-
tion of their work, even when they do
it well.
A father should regard the confiders
bind relation between himself and his
son as one of the most precious. things
in life, and should never take 'chances
of forfeiting it. It costs something to
keep it, but it is worth the price, I

Would Signal Mars by
Flashing Light.
Dr. A. M. Low, an English inventor,
believes' it possible to get into corn-
'munication with Mars by means of
light signalling.
, 'There are several known chemical
means of producing a 'light screen of
sufficient, size which would last long
enough to be noticed by the Martians,
, if such exist," he said. "I think a
suitable screen could be set out on a
high altitude by airplanes; to eliminate
as far as possible the effect of air and
clouds, which combine to make diffi-
cult any observation of 'the 'earth it-
self."
Dr. Low considers wireless waves
less practical, as they travel in curves,
making it difficult to gauge the target.
He holds it ludicrous to expect to find
the Martian:sr life similar to our own.
"Some years ` ago we thought that `
animals and plants " were the only
things which lived," he said, "but now,
we know there is life in everything. I
have never seen anything yet which
was not alive.

Dr. Low disagrees with those who
assert the Martians axe more , ad-
vanced than: eerthiegss. "If- they were,
they 'would have found some means

said.

When Tin Catches Cold.
You would scarcely suspect a metal
such as tin of being able to catch cold,
but it can do so for all that. In coun-
tries like Northern Russia all sorts of
utensils are apt to become useless in
winter time.
A tiny greyish spot makes its ap-
pearance on the surface of the tin. It
grows' in size, and then others appear.
In course of time the metal crumbles
into a dark -colored powder.
Some years ago a whole shipload of
blocks of tin, stored in the Customs
House of Petrograd during the winter,
was found the following spring to have
crumbled into dust.
What really happens • is that ,the •cold
causes tin to change from one of its
farms to another. Tin is often found
in mines in the grey powder form
which is quite useless. When it is
heated it turns into a well-known
shiny metal, but under the influence
of cold it may return to its other form.
Finger prints of criminals are sent

invention, involving the use of from
300 to 400 numbered squares.

unlike newts, have been made to

Surnames and Their Origin

Variations—Lockyer, Lockman, Locke,
Loockerman,
Racial Origin—English, also Dutch.
Source—An occupation.
Iackyear, Lodger, Lockman and
Locke are all only different forme of
the same family name, which in„ -its'
original use was but descriptive oe the
callings of Its fleet bearers.
Loeky'ear is really not a "true" form
of the name;it is a changed spelling
of Loelcyer. The "icckyer' of the
Middle Ages in England was, as you
might opine, a locksm th, as was, also
the "Lockman," the two form's o2 the
word, being' interchangeable, with the
former, perhaps, in wider use.
Originally this nrauie!, 'like all'others

"the") . under the influence of the
French tongue •of the Normans. But
even before 'such names, lost their des
clrip'tive sense, and. virtually always•

Stories About Well -Known People
Royalty Gets a Diploma.
When the Wharton School of Busi-
ness administration at the University
of Pennsylvania held its graduating
exercises this summer many foreign
students received diplomas and none
showed more pride in the hard won
bit of sheepskin than a scion of Orien-
tal royalty, Vara Virakorn, who is a
cousin of the King of Siam.
By very ancient tradition the .busi-
ness activities of royal persons have
been limited to the narrow but not
unfruitful fields, of imposing taxes or
receipting far the contents• of the
privy purse voted them by their ador-
ing subjects. Common report has it
that Siamese royalty has also kept up
a herd of white elephants to let tiff its
excess energy.
Whether Virakorn wall stick to the
good old days when -hie gets' back to
Bangkok, or branch 'out for himself in
same new line, has. not been indicated.

arch
onarch has a good many cousins to keep
up, ,,and that the young graduate's

Cars by the Dozen.
The Bey of: Tunis, who is now on an
official visit to Paris, is well-known as
a teller of good stories, and figures':
himself as the hero, . or perhaps the
victim, of many a true One. The most
amusing of those about himself is per-
haps of when he first came to Paris
and entered a motor -salon, to look
aver a selection of luxurious cars. At
last he picked out the most expensive
ane.
"I will have half a dozen of these,"
said the Bey calmly, and continued his
shopping, making purchases on the
same scale now and then. ,
And here is a good story told by
him. A French policeman stopped a
two seater and, hailing the chauffeur,
asked him for his permit to drive in
Pelee. The man put his, hand in his
pocket, but, as he was about 'to pro-
duce the necessary papers, Monsieur
l'Ageant stopped him'.
"It is all right," he said, with a
smile. "I only wanted to see your per-
mit if you hadn't got it!"
Sherlock -Holmes Methods,
A joke was. played on Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle by a French taxicab
driver recently. The man had driven
the world-famous creator of "Sherlock
Holmes" from the station to the hotel,
and when hereceived his' fare the said,
"Mei ci, M. Conan Doyle."
"Why, how do you know my name?"
asked Sir Arthur. •
"Well, sir, I. have seen in the papers
that you were coning from• the South
of France to Paris. Your general ap-
pearance told me that you were Eng-
lish; your' hair had been. clearly last
cut by a barber of the South of
France. I put these indications to-
