Told to Be
Sensible
I
2GO MUCH EMOTION SPENI
UPON COMMON
PROBLEMS •
By CAREY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Head Department Parent Education
Cleveland college, Western
Reserve University
EVER SO MANY young mothers
re almost distracted because their
>aby is not "house broke” as early
as a friend s child. And those who
think they have been very clever in
training the child to be "clean” ana
dry before the age of one or two, are
forever bragging about their achieve
ment in the presence of mothers
whose children still are untrained.
And what makes them brag? They
get pleasure from the pain which
.hey inflict up on the worried mother,
and the more her pain the more their
pleasure. Can you think of any mean
er persons than these braggarts?
Now I wish mothers would be more
sensible than to be affected by these
boors. Whether your baby keeps clean
and dry at the age of one or two,
three or later, is entirely a matter
for you and your child, chiefly for
you. You do the work. As for the
baby, he may be happiest when wet
or "dirty”. Why make it an emotional
matter at all? Why let it be social
business? Make it strictly your own.
Many a mother, because of tem
perament, health or press of house
hold work, should not attempt "train
ing” the child very early. She would
get better results and waste less
energy if she were to wait six months
or a year longer to begin than she
thinks she should. The actual work in
volved in caring for the child still un
trained at two, or even three, might
take many times less nervous energy
than to lift that emotional log and
still not get results, when it is sure
to grow heavier and heavier.
Mother Too Solicitous
Then there’s many a mother too
solicitous about bed wettings. She
will wear herself out getting the baby
up at night. Maybe he won’t readily
go back to sleep then, and she, poor
soul, may remain awake for hours—
while her husband snoozes. I wish
he would bear some of the briny bur
dens of the night. Let me urge moth
ers who can't go right to sleep after
taking the baby up, to let the child
-deep on wet or dry, even though he
be three or even five. If nobody
shows any feeling about the matter,
and the child’s skin is protected by
proper lubricants and the bed with
a rubber sheet, all may be well.
Treated so, most children will awak
en in the morning dry "before they
are four or five, anyway.
If I could persuade young mothers
to be more sensible about the prob
lems of the baby’s wetting by day
% 1 could save them and their
children from oh, so much needless
suffering.
Let us keep this simple principle
in mind. It is not what is most de
sirable to achieve, but what is most
desirable in the light of what this
achievement will cost.
SCHOOL ROUND-UP
The summer round-up of the Thir
lyseventh Street School will be held
on May 4th. All parents having child
ren who will enter school either In
the fall or in February are urged to
bring them at this time for examina
tion.
GOLF BIDS RECEIVED
Invitations, have been received by
the women players of the Savannah
Golf Club to play at Sea Island Beach
tomorrow. It is expected many mem
bers of the club will accept the in
vitation.

Little Girls, Too, Want Curls
By GLADYS GLAD
"America’s Most Famous Beauty”
Although the weather was not
particularly conducive to a parade
this year, the avenues were thronged
with smartly garbed fashion paraders
just the same. Women in swanky
tailored suits and smart coats, and
men in striped trousers and cutaways
gave a fashion show worth seeing.
But what intrigued me was the fact
that the youngsters in the parade
were just as smartly attired as their
mammies and pappies.
Although women often do not real
ize it, little girls have just as much
of a yen for a new bonnet as their
mothers have. They like prettying
up. And I’ve yet to see any little lass
that didn’t have an overwhelming de
sire for curls. Little Jane Withers
of screen fame is just like all other
little girls in ths respect. Ordinarily
you know, Jane wears her hair
straight, but in her next picture, her
hair is going to be arranged in a
tumbled mass of soft, curls and ring
lets.
Generally Becoming
The new Jane Withers hair style
is one that should prove becoml.w Io
to practically every small child, as it
forms such a soft, flattering frame
for the face. This hair style can be
arranged very easily by dotting moth
ers. Before it is arranged, the hair
should first be shampooed with a
pure, bland soap and tepid water,
and then rinsed thoroughly. Then
the curls should be rolled into place
while the hair is still moist. The
hair should be about an inch below
the ear in length, and while still
moist should be blocked into squares
as for . a permanent wave. These
squares should be about an inch in
length and width. Then each squar
ed off strand of hair should be rolled |
up on an aluminum curler, and when
in position it should be pinned Into
place with bobby pins, and the curler
extracted.
The entire head of hair should be
blocked and curled in this fashion.
In the back, however, aluminum
curlers should be used and left in
the hair, to give additional strength
to the back curls. When the hair has
all been properly curled up, it should
be permitted to dry. And the pins
should not be removed until there is
no least remaining sign of moisture.
When the hair is thoroughly dry,
however, the bobby pins should be
removed, and each curl should be
combed out and then brushed softly
abou the finger.

SEY’S CAFE
NEW YORK, May I (TP).—Two
fisted James T. Kenny—a New York
C °P —will appear in felony court to
day against a small-time thug who
he said held up jack Dempsey’s res
taurant, but didn’t run fast enough.
The prisoner is James Downing,
who has a record of 14 arrests and
nine times in jail, according to de
tectives. Patrolman Kenny is a
mounted policeman who was ‘‘park
ed’’ in front of Jack Dempsey's smart
restaurant near Madison Square
Garden when the trouble started. A
stocky, tough-looking man pointed to
a pistol in his belt and forced Cash
ier George Garfinkle to get his cash
box and “take a walk” with him out
of the restaurant. One of Dempsey’::
waiters thought something war
wrong. The old Manasa Mauler
wasn’t there. The waiter tipped ofi
Patrolman Kenny.
Kenny went galloping through the
taxicabs and leaped off his horse. He
walloped the bandit on the jaw,
yanked out his pistol and clubbed
him to the sidewalk. The cashbox
under Garfinkle’s arm went back to
Dempsey’s place and the bandit went
to jail. He’s charged with assault
and robbery.

How to Ban
Jealousy
SHE’S AFRAID IT WILK
WRECK FRIENDSHIP
WITH BOY
By VIRGINIA LEE
How can one overcome jealousy?
Can it be done, ineeed? Well, I sup.
pose if one were to grow absolutely
perfect one would be free from jeal
ousy, but the green-eyed monster lies
dormant in mosb of us, ready to leap
out and help us to make fools of our
selves.
If we were sure of ourselves, par
fectly confident in our charms and
ability to hold first place in our
loved one’s affections, I suppose we
would not be jealous. It is the doubt
that creeps in that we are not as at
tractive as others, and that our be
loved will find it out and care more
for someone else than he does for us,
that undoes vs.
The extreme cases of jealousy are
abnormal, of course the kind that
end in murder or suicide. Generally
we are jealous when we are young
and in love, but we get over the worst
of it when we “settle down,” and
cease to suffer, at least often. Pity
the man or woman who suffers from
its agonies all their lives.
Blond X admits that she is jealous
of the boy friend, and I do not won
der at it because he is, according to
her letter, “ideal” in every respect
He does not drink, smoke or gamble,
is very attractive and most of all,
really sincere. The jealousy is all on
her side, she states, and she is afraid
it Is going to wreck their friendship
and ruin their lives.
No, it won’t dear. The reason you
are jealous is because you admire
this boy so much that you cannot
believe he really cares for you. You
are unsure of yourself. Cultivate
self-confidnece. Assure yourself that
he does care for you and that you
have nothing to fear from any source.
Rest on that feeling.
You probably won’t be able to en
tirely get rid of the miserable feel
ings that you complain of, but if you
persevere you will eventually conquer
them, and they will grow weaker as
you get older.
