INDUCTION OF FEAR
FOUND HARMFUL TO
AMERICAN CHILDREN
CHICAGO, May 13.—(/P)—Parents,
relatives and teachers, by means of
threats, unsuitable stories or thru
the contagion of their own fears,
bring fear into the lives of at 37
per cent of the children of America,
•the National Kindergarten and Ele
mentary College here has determin
ed from a questionnaire answered by
277 of the students.
"Where fear was not attributed to
the home, it was usually supplied
by playmates and practical jokers
or by too close contact with the
forces of nature, according to the
college, which blamed 51 peT cent
of the cases of fear on these sources.
Eleven per cent were unable to re
call the cause of their outstanding
fear, and only a little over 1 per
cent, could remember no fear at all.
The list of fears included virtual
ly everything that entered into the
life of the child, with the general
exception of members of his family.
The fear of darkness ranked first.
Animals, insects, gypsies, fire, pun
ishment, burglars, false faces, canni
bals, teachers, parents and doctors
were causes of fear to others.
“Less than 10 per cent of these
fears could reasonably be consider
ed of value to the child as a protec
tion against danger," said the col
lege. "The remaining 90 per cent
are worse than valueless, they are
a menace to the mental, moral, phy
sical and social development of the
child. Their effect is not limited
to childhood, for more than half of
these college students admitted they
never had been able entirely to
overcome these fears. Normal fears,
better termed 'reasonable caution,’
the usefulness and necessity for
which have been carefully explained
or demonstrated to the child, do not
leave this indelible stain."
iue que&iiuuuain; aisu iui
suggestions as to the prevention of
fear and first on the list was the ad
vice that the child should never be
frightened, either in fun or in order
to secure obedience; that adults keep
their fears to themselves and stop
using the child as a safety valve;
that they learn to control the child
by other means than switches or
darkness, and that they keep the
child from the fearful or horrible
element in stories, either of fiction
or of real life.

Dole System Described
Crime Against Society
LONDON, May 13.—(JP)—Young
men should be taken out of the city
settlements, transferred to the coun
try and taught how to work as they
were taught during the war how to
fight, George Landsbury, newspaper
editor and socialist member of par
liament, told the House of Commons
during a debate on what he des
cribed as “the wretched, miserable
dole system” of the state, and its
effects on young men between the
ages of 18 and 25.
“I would stop giving these young
men a farthing for doing nothing,”
Mr. Landsbury asserted, "and unless
they were prepared to earn money
in the country or somewhere under
decent conditions, they could do
■without things to eat, so' far as I
am concerned. The government is
ruining the characters of ten of
thousands of our young people, and
any state of society that trains peo
ple to believe they should live by do
ing no work is committing a crime
against the individual and against
society.”
According to figures presented to
the house by T. Thompson, a Liber
al member, $1,505,000,000 has been
paid out by the government since
the armistice in unemployment bene
fits.
WHERE DOGWOOD
GOT ITS NAME
SEATTLE, May 13.—(JP)—The dog
wood tree derives its name from a
long connection with butchers, and
not from any canine associations,
Prof. T. C. Frye, of the botany de
partment of the University of Wash
ing, points out.
“Years ago, when meat was roast
ed over an open fire, sticks of hard
wood to withstand the heat were
put in the meat to keep it from
falling apart when done,” said Pro
fessor Frye. “The sticks were of
daggar wood. This was later short
ened to dogwood.”
Slayer of Grand Duke
Michael Loses His life
In Airplane Accident
RIGA, May 13.—{&)—Miasnikoff,
the Bolshevist commissary who in
1918 was commissioned to do away
with Grand Duke Michael, recently
was killed in an airplane accident,

Carrying out the assignment of
royal assassination, Miasnikoff went
to Perm and managed to be admit
ted to the grand duke on the pre
text that he was sent by a secret
society of aristocrats to conduct the
grand duke to Siberia and thence to
safety in England.
The grand duke’s English secre
tary, Harry Johnston, becoming sus
picious, warned his employer, but
Miasnikoff succeeded in abducting
both in two automobiles and as they
were passing a forest he and his
agents are said to have murdered
the grand duke and his secretary.

Music Comes to Tacoma
As Scientist Triumphs
SEATTLE, May 13.—(/P)—After
experimenting for two years O. R.
Redfern, federal supervisor of radio
for the Pacific northwest, has eradi
cated excessive interference caused
by precipitators in a large copper
smelter just outside Tacoma.
Reception of Seattle, Portland, San
Francisco and Los Angeles radio pro
grams by persons residing in Taco
ma and within a 20 mile radius was
impossible when the precipitators
were running.
-Resistance rods were unsuccessful
as they are good conductors of high
frequency currents. Leyden jar con
densers were borrowed from the Ra
dio Corporation of America. Attempts
to by-pass the radio frequency os
cillations to the ground failed. Ra
dio frequency chokes were valueless
because of their small size. Larger
chokes were made, reducing inter
ference 50 per cent. The chokes
were increased and the interfernce
stopped.
The smelter uses 21 mechanical
rectifiers, which run 24 hours a day.
Rectification is accomplished by a
disc mounted on the shaft of a mo
tor turning 3,800 times a minute.
The discharge occurs as a rotating
shoe passes a stationary shoe. The
current employed varies from 30,000
to 50,000 volts at 50 to 100 milliam
peres.
