WOMA N'S PAGE. Interest a Spur t;) Knowledge BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Parents who appreciate that awak sned Interest is the solution for good scholarship in their children can pro- mote their education marvelously Learning anything, from how to make bread to how to measure the distance between the earth and the sun, from learning to talk wk s! to convers languages, ally desires the knowledge.

Speed is gained, and the goal is won with zeal instead of by plodding and being prodded also. For instance, if a child realizes that & modern language may prove of great value to him, he will be far more likely to excel in it than as if he took it | merely to make up the required num | ber of points in his curriculum.

It may prove embarrassing it you do not hap- ben to know that you are not expected to sit on a sofa in Germany, or Italy, unless especially invited to do so when visiting. It is a sort of throne seat of the home, where the mother or grand- mother sits, and where she invites those to sit and talk with her as she wishes. To be invited, therefore, to occupy the seat in a household honor; to sit there without is a breach of courtesy. Just a minor point this, but after all it is the little things that often prove most embarrassing and discomforting. Now that Americans are the most traveled people on the globe, there is every reason why children should be helped to know of it, its history, lan- guages, customs, etc.. and it is only by awakening their interest that any real success can be attained. is torn off Oyster Omelet.

The foolish season has closed, but | you never can tell. The first person I ever resuscitated was a child about 6 years old. The child had been play- ing with other children on the ice of an ice pond. Somehow he slipped into a hole and sank. The other chil- dren ran across the pond and told the men harvesting ice there about the boy in the water. The men hurried to the hole, but found only the boy's stocking cap floating on the surface. The water was too murky to see be- neath the surface, so they took a long pole with a hook on the end and fished around until they brought the child up. He was apparently dead. They ran with him to a shanty near the pond and some one telephoned for the doctor. It must have been flve minutes be- fore I arrived. Meanwhile the well meaning but totally unprepared peo- ple milling about had devoted their energies mainly to a fruitless search for a barrel, while some women of the nelghborhood, willing enough but utterly useless, rubbed the child's wrists and brought hot stove lids and the like. I did what any intelligent 6-year-old child ought to be prepared to do—applied Schaefer’s prone pres- sure resuscitation. It is so simple and so vital that no faithful parent should dare to go to bed tonight un- prepared to render this first aid in any emergency. While I was applying the treatment the chlid’s mother, summoned to the scene, stood dazed and shocked, scarcely. comprehending what was going on. And after the boy had re- covered she probably never knew any more about it—at least I never again saw either the boy or his mother. No mention of the matter appeared in the papers. It wasn't spectacular. Schaefer’s prone pressure respiration is not of any commercial interest. It doesn’t even call for “pumping the arms.” Physicians have discarded that manipulation as Inefficlent and impractical. Had I used a wonderful machine in the resuscitation of this boy the story would have been her- alded far and wide. I used just a pair of ordinary hands—hands exactly like yours—and as much intelligence as any normal 6-year-old child might Apply., And such humdrum isn't news. You will understand, I hope, that I am not bemoaning the fact that I won no medals for fanning this spark of life while it still smouldered. I am simply trying to explain why Schaefer’s manual method of artifi- cial respiration is overlooked and ignored while inferior methods, in- volving the use of machines or appa- ratus are extravagantly puffed and egregiously overrated in the mind of the unsophisticated public. It is questionable whether a novice can learn the Schaefer method from even Schaefer's own description, though a testimonial letter I pub- lished here recently from a mother who had resuscitated her 2-year-old boy from drowning gave me great happiness, for she declared she had read the description of the method in my column only the day before the accident. Prone Pressure Resuscitation. “It consists in laying the subject in the prone posture (which means on the belly, not on the back, as our best novelists imagine), preferably on the ground, with a thick folded garment underneath the chest and epigastrium (which means the ‘stomach’ of lay parlance). The operator puts himseif athwart or at the side of the subject, facing his head, and places his hands on each side over the lower part of the back (lowest ribs). He then slowly throws the weight ot his body for- ward to bear upon his own arms and thus presses upon the thorax (which means trunk, chest) of the subject and forces air out of the lungs. This being effected, he gradually relaxes the pressure by bringing his own body | up agaln to a more erect position, but, What Wives i ,o,',\',Doroth yDix}, Lists Useful- neas for Oynical Bachelor A Wife Is Useful as the Perfect Alibi—As the Family Goat—But, Best of All, She’s a Lov- ing Companion in Trouble or Illness. a_jailer to you?” a cynical old ‘Well, brother, most wives are good to their husbands’' comfort, besides which the great In addition, a wife is useful because she is She is the best standing excuse that human ingenuity has ever devised, and it is my opinion, based on mar having a pet around the house. the perfect alibi. | HAT'S the good of a wife, anyway, except to Spend your money and be bachelor asks me. as home-makers and general purveyors t majority of men enjoy vears of close observation of the subject, that the real reason that most men get married is to get somebody to blame when things go wi ng.

She can conjure everything out of its hiding place with a wave of the hand, and assemble them on the bed. Nothing saves the wear and tear on a man’s temper more than having one of these female sleuths upon the premises. A wife Is useful as a savings bank. It is after a man gets a wife to sew up the money before they are married. Very few men ever accumulate any holes in his pockets and act as a protector to his purse that he begins to lay the foundation of his fortune. Everybody feels that he or she has a right to rob the bachelor, and that he is selfish and stingy if he tries to keep any of the money he makes for himself. He Is the victim of causes. Relatives prey upon him. He is the one who is unanimously elected by the balance of the family to support father and mother. Sister thinks that he should send her numerous progeny to college, and provide the girls with pretty clothes and the boys with sport cars Brother thinks he should lend him money without security. Old friends sponge upon him, But the first thing a wife does is to rout out all these grafters. nobody expects a married man to support any family except his own, and if “So sorry, | they do. he can always say: A wife is good as an accelerator but I have a wife, etc.” Most men don’t make much speed | until they get married.
