WOMA Carriers of Sail BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. N’S PAGE.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. MONDAY, MARCH 25 1929. Cloth or Burlap Your Baby and "Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.' Mrs. T. U. E. writes: “My 2-year-old boy drives me almost frantic. When he goes to bed for his nap, or even in the| middle of the night, he bumps his head from side to side on the pillow. I have punished him for it and he would gry, and then, when everything was quiet, I would hear him doing it again. Why does he do this and what can I do to stop it?” Answer—Head bumping, tossing the | head from side to side, thumb sucking ear pulling, all of these are early hab. its which give the child sensory satis. faction. They should be outgrown nat- urally and, unless the child’s attention is called to them forcibly by your “fran-| tic” efforts to stop him, will be dropped as he drops other early baby habits. It is hard for an adult to understand how a child can get any pleasure out of hurting himself, but we just have to admit that he must find it pleasurable or he wouldn't continue it. All such habits are best treated by indifference (so that the child doesn’t use them to torment the parent and get attention) and tactfully interesting him in other occupations of a higher order. Once his interest in new games and playmates and toys is cstablished, he will stop these solitary eiforts to amuse himself. Mrs. F.

The name burlap is ,the usual one in America, ‘where the textile is used nowadays for decoratfve and needlecraft purposes so extensively that it is thought of as much for household as for commercial urposes. l,when the fabric is made up into wood carriers, it couples both the idea of mklns g bagging in the English sense, an at of household furnish- ings in the modified and later pur- poses to which burlap is put. Another excellent textile to use is that type of canvas known as sail cloth. This comes is so close a weave that it is impervious to water and can be de- pended upon, therefore! to be proof against dust filtering through from the ‘wood. ‘Wood carriers of this description can be bought or made. The size should depend upon the length of wood used in the fireplace. Some fireplaces will take much longer wood than others. good average width for the carriers and three feet a good length.

All turned edges should be on the inside of the portions so that the outside is flat and plain. It is impor- | tant to have the hems basted in a color contrasting with the textile and to make the stiches sraight, so that the machine stitching can follow them as a guide. ‘The ends may be strengthened by running a flat plece of narrow wood or metal through the hem. Or a length of brass-covered metal window rod may be used. If so, put an extra row of stitching through the hem to hold this narrower rod firmly. After turning in 'i‘lhe rods, overcast the open ends of the em. Handles of several thicknesses of the textile, folded to make the finishea width 1 inch, and stitched twice along the edges, should be positioned in the center of each end and stitched to the carrier. Or the handles may be of rope covered with the textile, or | they may be of leather. A smart touch is to embroider an initial on one side of the carrier. Po- sition this in the center of the width and not far from one end.

Ordinarily, soaking the fingers will raise the dead cuticle so it can be clipped off with iSSOFS. sc In any case, when the nails have been_given a fresh edge the hangnails should be clipped from the corners and the nalls rubbed thoroughly with cold cream. When this has been wiped off the cuticle can be pushed back and the nails polished with either paste or) powder polish. To make them look really well they must be washed and polished again. M. E.

Al > Applauds Honor 0 l x Move to to the Recognize old Maid. Her Service. Gratitude for Tireless Efforts and Selfless Devotion to Mankind and for Sacrifices Without Hope of Reward. WHO REMEMBERS? RY DICK MANSFIELD, Registered U. S. Patent Office. IT has been suggested that we should have an Old Maid's day, just as we have a Mother’s day and a Father's day. Well, why not? If the purpose of | setting apart a certain day on which to do honor to some especial group of people is to recognize publicly our indebtedness to them and to pay them a tribute of gratitude, I would like to know who is more worthy of a day than the old maid. And I would suggest that the appropriate flower to wear in our buttonholes on Old Mald's day is the forget-me-not. It would take more than a day, however. It would take many a year'’: time in which to lay at the old maid's feet all of the overdue bouquets that she deserves at our hands. This without reference to the grand old maids, the Florence Nightingales and Susan B. Anthonys, to the Frances Willards and Jane Addams and countless other old maids in every community who have nursed the sick and educated the children and fought for political rights and reforms and generally done all of the moral and civic chores that other peop! were 100 busy and too much absorbed in their own affairs to do. We all know about them. Why, there isn't a good cause in the land tha wouldn't collapse if you took the old maids out of it. They are the backbone of every uplift movement.

On a million flat old breasts would be pinned the Cross of the Legion of Honor if they got what they deserved. There is old Miss Jane, withered and shabby and old now, but who was once young and fair and blooming as a Summer rose. She was made for love and loving, but she was the eldest of ig 1 y of children, and the mother and father were the sort of people who‘ngvfer i?l‘;l\z' how to make money or get along. So, when Jane became old enough to take out her working papers she left school and began the life of toil for others that has never ended. She was intelligent and clever, and she became a skilled worker who earned a fine wage, but not a dollar has she ever been able to save. There were always so many hungry mouths to feed, so many grasping han clutching at her pay envelcpe. Always she has worked for others. To support her parents. To give the little brothers and sisters the education and the advantages she could not have herself. To send a talented boy to college.

BY THE COUNSELOR. John Billings applied to his insurance company for a loan upon his policy. Billings received the money he required after assigning and transferring his licy to the company and signing a loan agreement which read as follows: “If at any time the entire indebted- ness on said policy shall equal or exceed its loan value the company’s liability under said policy shall terminate upon compliance by the company with the requirements of the policy, if any, re- specting notice.” After several renewals of the loan, and after the last premium had been paid and the policy had become a “paid-up” policy, the principal and ac- cumulated interest exceeded the loan value of the policy. The company, after due notice to Billings, canceled the | cy. Regretting_later the cancellation of the policy, Billings attacked in court the validity of the company's loan agreement, contending that the for- feiture was inequitable. ‘The court upheld the cancellation of the policy, stating: “The contract is clear. Its terms are not ambiguous. On default in the re- payment of the loan, the company may cancel the policy, and apply the cash surrender value to the payment of the loan.

March 25, 1859.—Builders and the public generally were much interested by an announcement today that three citizens of Washington City have just acquired “the right to control and use” Salisbury’s patent brickmaking ma- chine within the District of Columbia. In about a month one or more of these machines will be in operation here, and, according to present expectations, will be used not only for making brick, but also tiles and drains. The invention is hailed everywhere as a greav forward step, and it is pre- dicted that it will soon change ma- terially all the current methods of building, tiling, sewage and the drain- age of land for agricultural purposes. The Salisburg machine turns out what is described as ‘“beautiful and finished work” from slightly moist clay just as it is taken from the earth, with- out being subjected to any “tempering” or other intermediate process whatever. Those who have inspected this new type of bricks call attention to their “solidity, faultlessness and polish” as ‘They produce an unburned brick which is regarded by many builders as'equal to burned brick. ‘They are molded with grooves, in which a slight portion of cement may be run or placed, in order to give the mass a tension through all its parts, which is declared to be equal to that of brick walls laid in mortar. ‘Washington is again suffering from the presence of a gang of incendiaries. who are setting fire to property almost nightly, endangering many lives and causing damage amounting to thou- sands of dollars. ‘The city government is being severely criticized for not fur- nishing greater protection to property owners against these men and boys, some of whom are doubtless acting from thoughtlessness and others with crimi- nal intent. It was suggested in The Evening Star today that the only remedy which seems likely to be effective is a “volunteer as- soclation to secure proper rewards to | the discoverers and convicters of such ingendiaries.” The city government is severly called to account of failing to pay Officer Kimball a reward offered by the municipaltly, which is declared to have had a very bad effect on all county police not salaried by the city corporation.

Kin- solving of Texas from the bite of a | rattlesnake, perhaps from death. The circumstances are so unusual and so suggestive that they seem to discredit the idea of coincidence. Their pre- | visional nature emphatically indicates a phenomena of the nature commonly | described as a “warning.” | It was in the days before he became | Bishop of Texas and while he was still | serving as a rector of the Episcopal | | Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia. | | The adventure came while he was on a | | vacation a Capon Springs. W. Va., and | was witnessed by his brother, the Rev. | Arthur B. Kinsolving, one-time rector tof Christ's Church in_ Brooklyn and | afterward rector of St. Paul's in Balti- | more. 3 | In his room at Capon Springs, Mr. | Kinsolving dreamed that he was in the woods back of the hotel When he came { upon a rattlesnake which, upon being killed and examined, revealed two rat- tles, black in color, and a peculiar pro- jection of bone from the tail. The skin of the snake. as he saw it in the dream, was unusually light. - ‘The picture of the snake remained disagreeably distinct when he awakened in the morning. He was very glad that | | the encounter had no basis in reality. ‘The dream was of the sort one hastens to tell to the first available | person. Mr. Kinsolving, in the act of | dressing, started to describe it to Mrs. | Kinsolving and then kept silent. | { He had been in the habit of taking | long walks in the mountains. | “It will make her nervous if I de-| scribe the dream.” he thought. | He breakfasted as usual and after- | ward, in company with Rev. Arthur | | Kinsolving, started off for a walk along | | the “back” of the great North Moun- | | tain which is one of the scenic attrac- | tions of Capon Springs.

BY J. P. GLASS. ES. Warning of an Encounter did morning, the walk was invigorating and they trudged a full 12 miles before they turned to go home. They decided to descend the moun- tain and return by way of a road that led to the hotel. But they had no sooner started down than Bishop Kin- solving’s dream returned to him with such vividne that he was startled. It was as if he had been warned, and he was so impressed by the feeling which seized him that he resolved to be on the alert. He was walking rapidly. But he had not gone more than 30 paces when sud- denly he stopped short, one foot in the air. Directly in front of him, colled and ready to strike, was a snake. “Had I finished my step I would have trodden it,” he later related. “I threw myself to one side and fell heavily to the ground. Recovering at once, I killed the snake with the assistance of my brother.” Even as they were attacking the ser- pent, the Rev. Arthur Kinsolving was surprised to hear his brother say: “That is strange. I will tell you some- thing remarkable about that snake in a moment.” When it had been killed. the story of the dream was related. The two men examined the serpent closely. It was the same in every particular as the one in_the dream. It was of the same size, had the same color, and had the same peculiar forma- tion at the end of the tail. “It is my belief that my dream pre- vented me from treading on the snake, but I have no theory on the subject and get considerably mixed and muddled when I try to think on the line of such abnormal experiences,” later wrote the bishop. There is certainly interesting food for speculation, however. in the fact that he had the dream, and that memory of it returned so vividly to him Jjust preceding the encounter. (Copyright, 1920.)

But no psychologist can justify the attitude of right-handed persons toward left- handed persons, at least not in the mind of one who considers the matter in the light of evolution—which is the only light we have on it.. It happens that there is just one left- handed person, naturally left-handed, natural right-handed persons. Left- handed persons are, then, somewhere 1 between sergeants and lieutenants as to prevalence. (Lieutenants, by the way, are still “leftenaunts” in certain prov- inces.) Just because we have a safe majority over the left-handed is a poor | sort of reason for treating them conde- | scendingly or as though they were ab- | normal. How do we get that way, in the first place? One cannot give this question of right or left handedness much thought or study without finding himself frequently | wondering why most of us happen to prefer the right hand, and why practi- cally all of us prefer to go through life | as one-armed individuals, so far as our | everyday acts of skill are concerned. Knowing and observing persons who have developed both hands for skillful use, one is constrained to think that right-handedness or left-handedness is 3 primitive habit and the super-race will be ambidextrous. Offhand I find I can write better with my right foot (I am right handed) than with my left. but I feel positive that with a little daily practice I shall write as well or better with my left foot, and I am going to waste some time in the next few months practicing with my left foot. I have always preferred to hold a base ball bat as a left-handed- batter does, though I bat right handed. I have likewise preferred to hold a golf club as a left-handed golfer does, though I shoot right handed. I never did learn to connect with the ball in base ball, but I am sure I would have batted better had they left me to hold the bat as I pleased. I have a notion | there is some association between one’s vision and one’s aim that should not be interfered with. | Two letters written by the same lady | about a year apart lie before me. would never suspect they had been | written by the same person. The first is written right handed; the second left handed; one slants right, the other left; both are equally good writing, very good writing, in fact. This lady was a highly talented person, with a happy disposi- tion and withal a great character; in- What would Easter be without Schneider’s Hot Cross Buns ? for every two dozen common ordinary |- SPECIiAL!

He cites half a dozen cases of native or natural left-handedness in his own family and his wife's family. His troubles began when he learned to write as a child—he wrote left-handed and backward (mirror writing) until they forbade him to use the left hand. He has always had more skill in the use of the left hand for fine work. He has a daughter who is naturally left-handed, and he saw to it that her left-handed- ness was not interfered with.
