KIPIKAW I A DVERTISING The Hated Cliefilcl AIARTIN JACOBSEN Regarding children, I am a hartlt-ned cynic. But I assure you that I have been more cynicked against than cynicking. The reason for this remarkable state- ment is this: recently I remarked to one of my nieces ta lovely che-ild with the exterior of an angel and the interior ot' a -well, not an angel, anywayj that I was devoutly glad that Peter Pan was forced to remain in Never-never Land, for I could imagine nothing worse than a world where the children never grow up. The aforementioned niece gave an in- dignant snort tmuch like the one an of- fended horse givesD and said, 'AUncle, you are a hardened clinic. VVhen I told her that she meant cynic she stoutly maintained that I was a clinic. Children cause me no end of em- barrassment. I dread taking them out in public, for something unfortunate al- ways happens. Only the other day I was taking my nephew Archie out for an airing, propelling I ' much like a chubby poodle, except thgnin lieu of a strap I tightly held him in an inclined position, like the hypotenuse of a right triangle. INe: were passing a house that was being repaired, when, after intently watching the bricklayers, Archie cried in a pene- trating voice, See the men in pajamas buttering bricks. I wanna piece ofbread I Dear little Archie , I said tenderly, do be quiet, or I'lI spank you. At this he burst into tears like a water hydrant that has been suddenly turned on, and alternately crying, I wanna a piece of bread and ' 'Don't spank me, he was forced to gently but firmly tnotice the split infinitivej conclude his walk with me. Yvhen we reached home, after passing through inspection by hordes of amused onlookers such as no military gathering has ever endured, I dashed into the pantry, seized a loaf ot bread and a pound of butter and hurled them at the offending Archie.

KIPIKAWI ADVERTISING THE HATED CHE-ILD I shall never forget the time when my sister was entertaining her bridge club. iVIy niece Georgia had just returned from school, and had come into the room to be ' 'ahed and ohed by the guests. One of them, a relict of the Victorian period, smiled persuasively at the helpless che-ild and said in a sugar tone, ' 'YVon't you re- cite something nice you've learned in school? I am prepared to swear that there was a look of cunning duplicity in Georgia's eyes as she piped up in a clear childish treble, Little Willie with the shears clipped off both the baby,s earsg It made the baby so unsightly that mother raised her eyebrows slightly. In the fashion of certain supposedly popular authors I will draw an untrans- parent veil over the ensuing scene. Georgia and Archie are childish soul- mates. Their school-teacher is a friend of mine, and I keep tabs on their conduct in school through her. A short time ago, she related to me a very amusing oc- currence. It seems that the little darl- ings were having geography, and the teacher had asked for someone to point out America. Archie had successfully volunteered, and she had decided to emphasize the discovery of America by Columbus. ' 'Georgia. H she Cried, ' 'who discovered America? ' 'Archiel was Georgia's proud reply. There are some children that never seem to grow up. After seeing one of these distasteful specimens, I remarked to my sister, ' 'Did you ever see anyone so disgustingly young? The tender thing replied, Well, we were all young once. I assure you that I was never so young as that che-ild the day I was bornl was my indignant retort. It is too bad that some of the finer be- liefs and traditions of the world are being torn apart and hopelessly disintegrated by the very younger generation of today. Something should be done about it. A society should be formed for the preven- tion of cruelty to traditions: the S. P. C. T. Here is an example of the ruthless treatment of one of our most sacred be- liefs. Shortly before Christmas I ap- Conrluded on pag: 00 Only from Xlrs. Agne can such goodies come.
