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.

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. ™BF > \ y* ' • ■ Jane Wither* Poae* with her curly new coiffure HE KNOWS An American, trying to impres uim an Englishman the size of the United States, remarked: “A train starting in the southern part of the state of Texas, traveling all day and night, still is in the same stat.e" Englishman: “Oh! we have some of the same kind of trains.” AT LUNCH time—l have to de cide what will taste best with my new mystery thriller—a tuna fish sandwich or ham-on-rye.

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. Special Permanent Wave $2.50 Ideal Beauty Shoppe 117 EAST BROUGHTON ST SAVANNAH, GA. .

Girl Asks 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.
