HONOR YOUR CHILDREN
SAYS HELEN WARE
Evils of Modern Life, Deceit and Dis
honesty, Due to Parents' Tyrannous
Training of Children.
"Honor your father nnd your mother this
has been the Injunction that parents have too
often nnd too long held as a threat over their
offspring. Honor yotlr children such a re
versal of tho Fourth Commandment observed
by paronts would do more good In the world,
In my opinion, than a tyrrarilzlng ussertlon or
parental authority. It is well for children to
honor their parents when they deserve such
honor. But parents should first seek to merit
this by their treatment of their children. Wo
may talk about the evils of modern life, of
deceit and dishonesty In business, politics and
tho ilomesllo relations; but these evils can't bo
etndlcaled until the source Is removed, und
the souico Is in tho home. Jlen nre what their
parents have made them. CowaidlCe. tieachcry
and dishonesty in llfo invariably develop from
seed sown In the' child life."
Jllss Helen Wure, who has distinguished
herself by her c'hnrnotcrlzatloiiH In drumatf of
modern life, was sitting in the reception room
of htr suite In the Vendlg last evening. Jllss
Ware had been discussing the problems of
modern life as affording rnateilal for drama,
and tho convrisatlon turned fiom marriage to
the relation of parent and child. Jllss Ware,
whoso personality Is as magnetic as It Is em
phatic. Is trenchantly direct In her opinions.
Life, to Jllss AVaie, Is a serious thing.
"In life," she declared, "the absolutely
greatest things aro truth and Justice. All our
evils, all our problems, exist In the lack of
truth and Justice. To get down to funda
mentals, this applies to business, politics, the
relations of men and women, tho inequalities,
oppressions and wrongs of our social and
economic life. And to get to tho cause ot
untruth injustice, dishonesty, lying nnd deceit
we must go light to the home wheie the child
is i oared. Sparo tho rod and spoil tho child'
is the veiy command which has spoiled char
acter and spoiled life. If wo want to correct
abuse we must correct the cause, and we must,
therefore, conect parents.
"Fear Is the fundamental evil, the original
slu, hi human life. Now children are taught
to fear their parents, and later to fear their
teachers. Fear makes cownids. Punishment
colossal malfeasances bf flnahclera are no
more egregious than the criminal Ineonslderate
ncss nnd unklndness of the parents that atari
children wrong by making them selfish, fearful
nnd Untruthful,
"Husbands and wives generally lack full
sympathy nnd understanding, nnd In nlna out
of ten cases the husband Is not absolutely
honest and frank with his wife. This results III
antagonism, suspicion, lack of respect and Un
happiness. Then these very couples, when
they become parents, bring up their children
In such n way ns to make it Inevitable that
they enter similar conditions. Truth, and
absolute truth, fchould bo observed In human
relations, and married people should religious
ly realize their responsibility to tho lives they
bring Into tho world, and tho veneration and
love duo those lives. Let parents first npply
the command of honor and respect on their
part. This would do more good than clvlo cam
paigns, womnn suffrage propaganda nnd anti
trust legislation. The reform of Incompetent,
unloving, Irresponsible, misunderstanding par
ents would mean the reform of the race."
FLASHES FROM "STARS"
Jllss Georgia Calne, playing with 'Adclo," at
tho Garrlck Theatre, owns one of the finest
kennels on Long Island. In this kennel Is a
spaniel named Sherlock Holmes. "Sherlock
Holmes," said Miss Caine, "Is tho champion
burglar router of tho world. Why, ho can de
tect o burglar a mile off, nnd is so bitter
against them that ho cannot bear to see a bur
glar even In moving pictures. Recently, before
Adele' started on a tour. I took Holmes to a
moving.plrture show In Elmhurst, where I re
side. During the action of one of tho playa u
robber appeared upon the screen AVell, I wish
you could have heard Sherlock-he set up a
howling that startled the house, and not until
tin officer appeared In tho picture and threw tho
thief Into a cell did my dear Sherlock cease his

Eva Davenport, bounding nnd buxom, spent
the past summer at Jlount Clemens, whero she
observed a painfully restricted diet, taking all
the baths on the program, eat packed In ice an
hour each day after a steam bath, and went
through various forms of exercise guaranteed
to leduco weight.
I was feeling highly elated and thinking my
old friends would notice my loss," sho said the
other day, "until I came back to tho vicinity of
Broadway and 42d street. The very first day of
my appearance my conceit wns given a crush
ing blow by the policeman who helped me
across tho sheet back of the Times Building
'Why, how-d-you-do, Jllss Davenport,' he said
'1 am glad to see you.' 'And I'm glad to see
you,' I roturned. for I have a special fondness
for policemen they have helped me over many
a rough place. 'I notice fiat you havo gotten
thin,' said I. 'Yes,' he answered, 'but 1 see you
haven't.' And they talk about the gallantry
of men!"

pessimistic about anything and Is very op
timistic as to tho prospects for general pros,
