WOMA N'S PAGE. Rod May Prove Help or Hindrance BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It is not always “sparing the rod that spolls the child.”" Sometimes it is using it that spoils the youngster. It must be wielded with good judg: ment. I know of one father who said “a child was never whipped except to satisfy the parent's anger.” It ls, boys who said she considered whipping an excellent method of punishment. It was a thing that was understood. There was no taxing the child’s mind to understand how the “punishment fitted the crime.” It was something that was quickly over and the child could get back to his play withoutany prolonged men¢al strain as to why he did wrong and how he ought to be punished. Reason for Resentment. And so we find there are reasons that have been carefully thought out both for and against whipping chil- dren. But there lurks back of cor- poral punishment one idea that is chief among those that make for re- sentment with the child. It is the thought that size alone makes such chastisement possible. This fosters the germ of injustice. When once a child fecls he is being unjustly pun- ished, and severely so, one link in the cord that binds children to parents is being snapped. They may forgive one or two unjust punishments and find excuses for their parents, but they will not do so continually. Question of Size. The insinuating idea, “When I get as big as you you won't dare to lnllc'h me,” knocks loudly on the child's mind. And he is right. When a child once does reach the size to exer- cise his powers, then such punishment must cease. He knows it as well as the parents. And so from this angle he resents whippings from the time when he begins to reason things out for himself. If he sees that what he has done deserves vigorous measures, he will not feel the reaction, or he seldom does. If the rod is resorted to only in extreme cases and after other methbds have failed, he can have little to complain of. “Different” Punishment. A normal child knows when he re- fuses to be guided by kindly discipline that he will bring down upon himself IT TAKES WISDOM TO KNOW WHEN TO SPARE AND WHEN TO USE THE ROD ON THE DISOBEDIENT IT BENEFI- indeed, only too true that this is the case in a vast majority of instances, But one can scarcely agree with the statement’in quite so bald a form as he put it. There d&re many cases where it has been a severe trial for the parent to’ “administer the rod,” . When this is so, it is apt to be a final resort, not a usual punishment. I know of a mother of four active some punishment that is necessarily different, 1If he is one on whom the rod has been spared, what more likely than that he will get a whipping? Parents may be sure the child is thinking something about “what is coming to him” when he deliberately and continually disobeys. ~But to make the child revolt against his par: ents' authority because the form of punishment given can only be exer- cised by a bigger and stronger person on a smaller and less vigorous one is unfortunate. Mentally the child is saying, “Why don’t you hit somebody your own size?” And often others feel the same way about the Whip- ing. o Easy Method. One reason why parents use the rod is that it requires no thought on their part as to what form of discipline would really be appropriate. One medicine does for all the naughty ways. While there are children who respect nothing apparently but supe- rior force—and these certainly should not have the rod spared them—there are others of less rugged and gbsti- nate natures who are crushed atfipst and bitter later. 8o it takes wisdom to know when to spare and when to use the rod to get beneficial reactions in punishments, The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright, 192%.)

DIARY OF A NEW FATHER BY ROBERT E. DICKSON. Wednesday Night: At the bridge club last night we were sitting around talking while the hostess was out in her kitchen dishing up a hearty repast of sandwiches a | quarter-of-andnch thick, and coffee, and only one kind of cake, not any- thing to tell your friends about, and some salad that she haid under a tea- spoonful of whipped cream, so we could make a game out of finding it, I guess, and it may not be nice to crab about what your hostess feeds you, but I should think a woman would realize that after a man has worked hard all day and played bridge with a gang like that all eve- ning, he needs something to eat, and 1 guess she thought she had ruined our appetites by leaving a little dish of candy on each card table during the evening and did not need to feed us very much, but if she did she made a big_mistake, all right. ‘Well, anyway, we were all sitting around talking and one of the women, ho looks like she is passing-up a a bet by not swimming the Eng- i Channel, and the North Sea to boot, asked Joan how the baby was, and Joan said he was just fine, thanks, and we were planning on having his picture taken. Well, the human barge eaid, “I can tell you just the photographer to go to, and that's Mr. Spencer,” and this guy Spencer 1s a member of the bridge club and he was sitting right there, and his two-ton advertisement said, “He took some pictures of ‘me and they were simply exquisite,” and I had not known that Mr. Spencer a photographer, and from his looks 1 would have sald he was one of our more prominent shoe-shiners, maybe, but I thought, “brother, if you can make that big girl look like a human being in a photograph, I am your customer." Joan sald, “do you take bables’ plo- tures, Mr. Spencer?” and he sald ‘‘yes, we try to specialize in baby work and that sort of thing, “then I'm certainly coming down: town to see you.” I sald, “you are an authority, Mr. Spencer. Don't you think it would be cute to have a picture of the bal d lying on his stomach?" and he said, “well, we can take him that way if you want it."” Joan said, “don’t mind him, Mr. Spencer. He is only trying to tease me” and I said, “I'm not,” and Joan said, “no one has pictures like that any more.” 1 said, “they do too, Your own family has_one of you, naked ds fish,” and Joan gave me the ‘dirti kick in the shin I ever got, and it was a low-down advantage to take of me because we were sitting at a card table and nobody could see her do it, and my foot has been sore all day, but Joan did not apologize, even when she saw me limping.

For a week I have avolded all starchy foods and sweets, but have eaten all kinds of vegetables and fruit in order to avoid that hun- gry, empty feeling. Wiil I lose weight with such a diet? I have a very sallow complexion. Mrs, M. E. R. Answer—You forgot to tell me your height, so that I cannot judge your ! correct weight, If you are 5 feet 4 inches tall you should weigh about 128 pounds. It is not wise to eliminate all starchy and sweet foods from | your diet, but you should limit their jamount. Yes, T think you will lose welght on a diet such as you describe, but if you redce too rapidly you will soon begin to look haggard. Please send stamped, self-addressed envelope for my leaflet on ‘“How to Lose Weight,” that gives diet and exercise suggestions. In the meantime, here are some menu suggestions for you: Breakfasts—(1) One-half cupful orange juice, two pretzels and a cupful of tea or coffee without cream or sugar. (2) One scant cupful crisp cereal with one-half cupful skimmed milk and tea or coffee with one teaspoonful of sugar. (3) One slice buttered toast and a glassful of milk. Luncheon— One egg omelet, spinach salad with mayonnaise, one graham gem. Dinner —One slice veal roast with gravy, one baked tomato stuffed with bread crumbs, onion and celery, two table- spoonfuls coleslaw, two tablespoonfuls prune Betty pudding, one roll, coffee | without cream or sugar. Remember that you need outdoor exercise as | well as dleting to bring your weight | down to normal and clear your com- plexion. LOIS LEEDS. Dear Miss Leeds—I am 17 years old, 5 feet 6% Inches tall and weigh 109 pounds. I have small bones and have always had good health. Do you think that thinness causes unpopularity with young men? It seems so to me. I _am active in school and church affairs and am well liked in my com- munity, but my boy friends never ask for a date. I have lots of girl friends. I cannot afford fine clothes, but I al- ways look neat. I have brown eyes, medium skin with natural color and medium_brown hair. What colors should I wear to make me more at- tractive? ADINE. Answer—You need to gain at least 15 pounds. Please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope for my leaflet on “How to Gain Welght. Yes, I think that men prefer girls who are not quite so much underweight as you are. Just as girls like men to look manly, so men llke girls to look wom- anly rather than like animated bean- A graceful, well-developed one of woman's chief assets. of course, important, but they need not be expensive. A girl of your type should avold severe, stralght-line dresses. Have some full- ness in your clothes—shirring, smock- ing, gathers. For evening you might wear a turquoise blue taffeta with shirred skirt and scalloped bolerd Jacket with round neckline. For a street dress you might have a light tan wool jersey with skirt gathered in front, three bands of dark brown around the bottom, a wide belt and a slightly bloused bodice. The sleeves should be long and gathered at the wrist. The Peter Pan collar may be dark brown. Light stockings and brown shoes will complete the cos- tume. Another frock may be of flat crepe and have a mahogany colored skirt and a straight overblouse made in two or three tones, shading from mahogany at the bottom to ashes of rose at the shoulders. A serviceable school dress of washable printed cot- ton with a small green and black pat- tern on a yellow background would be pretty. A sport striped material in old rose, green and cream or cream, dull pink and brown would be becom- Ing. You may wear medium and dark blues, dark green, reseda, dull brick, rust, flesh and peach.

Yes, sir, 1 bin pertending I was a titerope wawker wawking on 2 tite- ropes at the same time, I sed. Yee gods, T mite as well be taking a cupple of fleas out for a nice quiet wawk, now we'll either tern around and go back or elts youll pertend youve got a little sents and wawk like a human bean, wich shall it be? pop sed. A human bean, T sed. And we wawked about 20 more min nits without enything elts happening and then went home for suppir, being frickasee chickin with lots of loose gravey. Jellied Apple: Pare, quarter and core six tart apples. Take one pound of sugar, one pint of water and boil until like sirup; then drop the apples in and cook until clear, taking care to keep their shape. When tender, skim out, place on a platter to cool, measure and strain the sirup. There should be one-half a pint. Take one noiclkare of lemon jello, dissolve in two-thirds pint of hot water, add to the hot sirup, over the apples and serve with my shoes FEATURES. BEAUTY CHATS Young Nails. Feed the nails and they'll stay young. Protect them and they won't grow hard and old and full of ridges. How? Well— When you go to bed at night you should rub your face full of cold cream to remove all the dirt collected since you last washed off the face pow- der and make-up, if you use it. You can wash off the cream or wipe it off, just as you choose. The point is that you should rub cold cream into the nails the last thing at night, and it is to do this If you happen to uae cream on your face. All you have to do is to double your fingers under the hands while you rub on the cream, which fills them full of cream, and then a little later push back the cuticle softened by the cream, se you have a nice, smooth edge all around the nails. Polish the nails every day with a soft chamols-covered buffer, This stimulates the circulation of the blood, which is a good thing for the nalls. it also smoothes down the surface of the nail and helps do away with idges. You can, of course, rub down these ridges with a fine emery stone, then spread cream over the places and poilsh and Eolllh. But a far better way I8 to keep the nalls nourished with cream, well polished, well cared for in every way. Of course, that means well mani- BY EDNA KENT FORBES. cured, but we are not discussing man! cures this time. A flesh-bullding cream Is better than a cleansing cream for the nalls. Some firms make special cuticle cream which they claim 1s highly nourishing. I don’t ti it matters much. The cream with vege- table ofl is, of course, more nourishing than the one with mineral oll, but any sort of oll is better than none at all. Protect the hands from too much water and never use a coarse, cheap soap. The nails can be dried out as well as the skin. Eddy—It is natural that your hair would come out after such a serious {llness. Keep on with the tonic, and be sure to massage the scalp dally, whether using tonic or not. A new growth of hair should be coming along all the time to replace the loose and dead halrs that are coming out. If- this is not the case, consult a scalp’ spectalist. Lille—The rates for the eleptric needle treatment vary with the locali- ties and standing of those giving it. It may be as low as §3 for a half hour’s work on and upward to any price within reason.
