Here are three short ones, each from an eminent man: Sidney Bmith says that “politeness is good na- ture regulated by good sense” Ma- eaulay writes: “Politeness has been well defined as benevolence in small things.” He did not originate this def. inition, but he gives it his approval, Chesterfield claims that politeness “simply consists in treating others just as you love to be treated yourself” As to the practice of politeness, the phil osopher, Bacon, wrote: “The wise are polite all the world over; fools are po- fite only at home.” Daily Thought Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful in fizence behind It In the world, and “Settered ihe tradition of mankind.” ' | Gorilla Families Live in Nest Homes Built High in Trees of Tropical Forests Gorillas live in family groups—hus- band, wife and one or two bahies, The mother carries her offspring on her hip, Just as does the native African Food is always plentiful, consisting Home Is an gort of nest bulit in a tree, a few branches being bent together so as to form a platform, over which leafy twigs are distributed.

He took It to Chicago as a curfo and later was vis- ited by a delegation of Indians, who demanded the return of the stone fig: ure to Wisconsin. The finder refused, and after several attempts had been made to steal the image, he became afraid and secretly sold the stone to the museum. Emissaries of the Chippewas, it is sald, watched the image until it was placed in the museum, where they de- clared that they were satisfied to have it remain, as long as It was in the hands of the state and on Wisconsin soll, Doctor Rieder says the Pueblo type of Indian believed that before creation diang of Lower California and of Wisconsin and the Mississippi val of water.

Some pass it lightly by, giving it little thought, and less observance, but not so the thoughtful parent or teacher to whom the care of children is entrusted. happiness. Only as we learn to listen and obey are we fitted to take our rightful place in society. We must obey the laws of nature if we would Since obedience is such an important factor in each life, how can we best teach it to the child without destroying his individuality? Many mothers admit their inability to obtain obedience, and teachers are often asked, “How do you make him obey? He does not mind me at Do you govern your child by love or by fear? Are you honest with him? Are your demands reasonable and do you explain why you make cer- tain requirements? Do you talk indiscreetly before your child and admit your inability Do you require prompt obedience or do you tolerate disobedience and These questions are all involved in obedience. Obedience is subjec- Yet many parents are satisfied with only occasional obedience. One day a mother expects immediate response to her request, while a little proceeds to decide matters for himself, and his motto becomes, “With mother, obey when it is convenient.” Such a child soon demoralizes the children of the whole neighborhood. Last, but perhaps of greatest concern to parents, is the advice to settle with disobedience at the time; tally today’s books today, unless some act requires a future opportunity for correction. Return of the Bodies of American Dead From the Cemeteries of France. By REPRESENTATIVE CONNALLY, Oklahoma,Speech in Congress. I have today introduced a joint resolution and asked that it be re- ferred to the committee on foreign affairs, and I believe if it is passed promptly by the two houses it will have a very great effect toward per- suading the French republic to lift the present restrictions which prevent the disinterment and return of the bodies of American soldiers to the United States. : Pending hostilities, the French government, at the request of the American military authorities, postponed the consideration of any agree- ment until after all American fotges should have left France. Recently the state department and the war department bave taken up with the French government the question of arriving at some understanding upon the subject. Up to date the French republic has declined to permit the disinterment and removal of bodies to the United States prior to January 1, 1922. The practical difficulties which present themselves are, first, we must secure the consent of the French government, and so my joint resolution provides in terms that the two houses of congress respectfully request that the French republic repeal, modify, or suspend its laws, ministerial in- structions, and regulations so as to permit the United States to bring back to this country the bodies of such soldiers, sailors, and marines where such removal may be requested by the nearest of kin. The second part of the resolution is a direction to the secretary of war to proceed with the disinterment, upon the consent of the French government being obtained, and to bring back to the United States the bodies of those soldiers whose nearest of kin desire and express the wish for that to be done. The war department already has an extensive machinery established for this very purpose.
