WOMAN’S PAGE. Three Ways to Discipline Child BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every child requires disciplining. With this as an essential, parents must consider what sort of ipline is best and then how to make it most effective. There are three definite forms of go erning—rewards for good deeds, pen: ties for wrongdoing and corporal pun- ishment. ‘The wise parent chooses, first, re- wards for good deeds, endeavoring to instill into the mind of the child that HELP THE CHILD TO UNDERSTAND THAT PLEASANT RESULTS FOL- LOW GOOD BEHAVIOR. good behavior is pleasant to himself as well as gratifying to parents. It is a mistake to consider there is anything wrong in making a child think it pays to be good. In later life every person mwn magm‘mhf surely as wrongs own pun- ishment. b ‘The saying that virtue is its own reward is cold and without appeal. As an actual fact virtue brings its own BEDTIME STORIE Flip Finds Strange Fellow.

Flip didn’t like to admit that Bowser knew more than he did. It happened one morning that Bow- ser and Flip went over to the Green Forest. You_see, it was Spring and o = = FLIP JUMPED TO ONE SIDE JUST IN TIME. perhaps a little of the Spring fever had taken possession of them. Anyway, they felt that they just had to go to see what, they could find. Now, Bowser is dignified and sedate and rarely gets excited, unless he smells the scent of Reddy Fox or Mrs. Fox. On the other hand, Flip is a very lively little chap. So, while Bowser trotted along, sniffing here and sniffing there, Flip raced about. He would dash off to the left. He would dash off to the right. He would race ahead along the Lone Little Path. He had made one of those little dashes Qj;gj’ good of good things, bad need.‘ar fav(flm sorrow and m une. Impress the mind of a child with good as the outcome of good behavior, and he will be pretty sure to prefer to be . To the youthful mind this is typified by tangible things. The privi- lege of doing something he wants (o do vezugmm may be a reward. Some good g to eat may be a treat that acts as an incentive to prompt obedi- ence and good behavior. As no child can be expected always to mind or never willfully to disobey, penalties come as & second method of discipline. Going without dessert is one of the minor penalties that are effective. Sending a child to bed early is another. Making him stay in his room or giving him a meal of bread and butter and milk are two others. Be sure to give him enough to satisfy his appetite and supply proper nourishment. serious disobedience or wrong- doing, greater penalties of relinquish- ment would follow. But beware of 00 heavy penalties. Their reaction some- times frustrates their aim=™ Corporal punishment should be a last resort. Too often correction is not the real object when a parent whips a child, but is venting of the father's or moth- er's anger. As soon as a child recog- nizes such an attitude, he loses respect for his parent. So it is wise to con- sider well before inflicting corporal punishment. Never box a child’s ears. The con- cussion may do serious injury to the ear. Never chastise a child in the heat of anger. An angry parent is not in command of himself or herself. ‘The true disciplining of a child is helping him to govern himself. This he has to learn in order to become a good citizen. It is for parents to give him every assistance possible. The ways suggested, when correctly used, are sure to prove helpful in the future gen- erations as in the past.

BURGESS off to one side and disappeared from Bowser’s sight. Presently Bowser heard from him barking excitedly. At first, Bowser merely grinned ux paid no attention to it. You see, he had be- come quite used to hearing Flip bark . Everything at all to Fli~ would make him bari ‘When, however, he noticed that seemed more excited than usual, Bow- ser decided to go see what it was all e |8bout. He didn't hurry. He didn't hurry a bit. ‘When heard Bowser coming he barked more excitedly than ever. * up, Bowser, hu up!” he barked. “I've got & er fellow cornered here. Hurry up and we'll fight him!” Bowser didn’t hurry a bit, but when he came in sight of Flip he turned his head so that Flip didn’t see him grin. Flip was dancing around an old ac- quaintance of Bowser's. This old ac- juaintance was a curious looking fellow just then. He looked as if some one brushed his long hair in the wron direction. It was standing on end. Before Bowser could say a word, Flip made a sudden little rush toward this queer fellow. Bowser opened his moulh to warn Flip to keep away, but Flip's alled him at the last minute and he jumped to one side. “Come on, Bowser!” cried . “You take him from one side and Il take him from the other. Did you ever see such a ?ueer fellow? Did you ever see such hair? 1It's the querest coat I ever Some of that hair looks too stiff to even bend.” Meanwhile, this queer fellow had de- cided to teach Flip a lesson. Without any warning, he backed toward Flip. Flip jumped to one side just in time. He was s0 astonished that for the mo- ment he forgot to bark. He stood at a respect(t ce and stared round- eyed at this queer fellow who backed toward him instead of running head- first toward him. When Flip found his it seemed as if he were more e than ever. “Did you see that?” he barked. “Did you see that? That fellow was trying to fight backward. Whoever heard of such a thing? And see how slow and clumsy he is. What's he doing now? ‘What is he poking his head ler that log for? Does he think he's hiding?” (Copyright, 1930.) INSIST ON THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Made in One of the World’s Very Finest Bakeries—Strictly Locally Owned and Operated Are Men to Blame for Marriage Problem? Finds - I Old-Fdshioned \DorothyDix] “Men Are Still Looking at Women Through Grandpa’s Spectacles,” Suggests an Interested Onlooker. “TH! TROUBLE is that men are old-fashioned,” said a woman the other day in discussing the husband-and-wife problem. ‘“There is a new woman, but man is still the same old man he was in Pather ‘Adam’s time, and that is why so many homes go up in smoke. “The last 50 years have made a new heaven and a new earth for woman, and have changed everything about her from her political and financial status to the length of her skirts. She is modern from the last hair of her bobbed head to her stockingless feet, but man still regards her from the pre-historic stand- t, and his ideas and ideals concerning her are the same he has held for the t thousand years. “In his secret soul every man's conception of a miodel wife is a patient Gri- seldarish sort of female, who will be meek and humble and burn incense before him and yes-yes everything he says, and sit by the fireside and darn stockings while he philanders around and will forgive him 70 times 7 for straying off the straight and narrow path and who will ask nothing of life, but just the joy of cooking and scrubbing and sewing on buttons and making things comfortable for her husband and children. That is the kind of wife men have always wanted and it is the kind they still want. . s e “SO IT 1S no wonder that the old-fashioned husband can’t get along with his new-fashioned wife who belleves that marriage is a 50-50 proposition, and who is determined to have her rights even if she has to fight for them, and who doesn’t see why her husband shouldn’t be as faithful to her as she is to him, and who can't be made to undertsand why a woman who is a college graduate isn't as able to form an intelligent opinion on a subject as a man who stopped in his third year of high school to go to work. “About three-fourths of the difficulties between married couples are due to the fact that men are still looking at women through great-grandpa’s spectacles. Take the matter of money, for instance, which is the principal bone of conten- tion in the home and over which husbands and wives do their daily dozen. For the great majority of wives will tell you it is only after they had fought, bled and died they succeeded in wrestling an allowance out of their husbands, if ever. “Now it is not becanse men are stingy or begrudge their families"their up- keep that they so hate and loathe giving their wives a definite sum of money with which to run their houses and for fheir personal expenses. When they analyze the situation they know that it costs no more to give their wives a lump sum that it does to dole it out to her In pennies and nickels. In fact, it is cheaper, because it enables her to manage better. But in the back of a man’s head is the old-fashioned idea that women can't be trusted to handle money, and that, anyway, a wife should make the gesture of subservience to her husband involved in coming to him as a mendicant for every dollar she needs. “@Grandma submitted meekly to this because she had always been dependent and had never had a pocketbook in her life, but it galls intolerably the modern ‘woman who has been self-supporting before her marriage; who has had her own money to spend as she chose without giving an aceount to any one; who is just as humilated by having to ask her husband for every quarter as he would be if he had to ask his father for street car and cigarette money, and who cannot and will not stand for the injustice of not receiving as her due any of the moncy she earns by her labor as a housewife. « e “wHAT makes it a great tragedy for any woman who is following a career to marry, unless she is willing to give up the career and just settle down to being plain Mrs. Smith and devote herself to singing luliabies instead of arias to an l‘flpllnflink audience, or buying 25 cents worth of pork chops instead of $100,000 worth of Paris gowns for a big shop? Nothing but man’s old-fashioned idea that & woman’s place is the home and that somehow, some way, it is a reflection on him for her to have any interest outside of just being his wife. “I have known dozens of brilliant and talénted woman doctors and lawyers and educators and business women, who married and attempted to go on with their careers, and practically every one of them landed in the divorce court. And there was nothing the matter with the women, either. “They made splendid wives, but their husbands were more jealous of their profession than they would have been of any rival, and resented their success. “Certainly men are old-fashioned in their views about women, but I hope they will hold to a lot of their old-fashioned ideas. It will be the brake that will keep women from running away with modernity.” DOROTHY DIX.

And others think such aims are low; they want to see geraniums grow; they'd rather gain great works of art than see new business in the mart. The two sides wrangle day by day, and many bitter gs they say, they argue and they rant and plead, and now and then some noses bleed, and here and there a skull is cracked, and now and then an eye is blacked. And I am neutral all the time, and both sides think my course a crime. But I refuse to rend my hair; it would not get me anywhere. I'd merely make a lot of foes, and some of them might | punch my nose.

But people who behold us say, “How foolish to behave that way! Men surely don't look , their manners are all cast aside, they demonstrate a yellow streak when small afflictions make them shriek.” But if we bear up with a grin, when we have badly barked a shin, if we put up no wail of woe when we have stubbed @ tender toe, bystanders will applaud our grit, our fortitude will make a hit.

Some girls and women decided that the new silhouette which came in last Fall was of passing interest. They were not going to bother with exercises or diets or corsets, not they. Why should they make themselves uncomfortable when Spring would see the return of the old comfortable, one-piece, straight- line dresses? But Spring has not seen the return. And these same girls are now worry- ing about that roll of superfluous fat, that “extra tire” at the waistline which ruins the lines of all the clothes. Even they have come to exercising. . Here are some of their pet stunts to juce waist girth, spread of hips and generally flabby muscles. First, raise arms above head, clasp hands loosely and then treat the upper part of body like a pendulum. Swing | A it to right, then to left, again. Do this 20 times. Next, stand upright with heels to- gether. Raise arms slowly until stretch- ed full height. Bend slowly from waist- Continue to then back relax upper body until hands touch floor. Do it five times a day. Eventual- ly reach the point where you can lay hands with palms down on floor. One which will jar the floor but ought not to jar you calls for position with arms and legs stretched and spread slightly. Jump back and forth 20 times. Do this with vim and vigor. Lastly, lie flat on floor. Put arms under back of neck. Raise legs slow- ly, keeping them close together. Raise them until at right angles to body. then keep on until they can touch wall in back of your head. Do this slowly, both in raising and lowering the legs.

It was no ran- dom thought on their part—inviting the angular and good natured Ten- nessean to be one of their advisers. Not even pages do things that way on Capitol Hill. All of them knew that the Senator was a candy manu- facturer, one of the biggest other night when the new clubroom in the basement of the Senate Office Building was formally opened. More than 100 guests were en- :;t:lned by the troop during the eve- And Senator Brock furnished candy for the crowd—huge quantities of it. There are 17 active members of this Boy Scout troop, made up exclusively of pages in the United States Senate. itor Moses of New Hampshire, chairman of the Senate rules commit- tee, made 1t possible for them to have a meeting place within the shadow of the Capitol dome. The troop officers hold their pow-wows around a table that formerly graced a Senate commit- tee room. Steel cabinets that once held senatorial records now contain corre- spondence and papers of the troop. A bow and arrow, made by Norman R. Smith, a Senate page from 1869 to 1870, hangs from the wall of their room. n American flag that covers the en- tire wall of one side of the room was a gift from the architect of the Capitol. Another American flag, personally pre- sented by President Wilson to the Boy Scout troop in Washington which sold the most Liberty bonds during the World War, is also displayed. In addition to Senator Brock their list of sponsors includes Senator Couz- ens of Michigan, Rev. Z. B. Phillips, chaplain of the Senate; Carl Loeffler, secretary to the majority; Ed Halsey, secretary to the minority; Howard Fos- ter, assistant secretary to the majority, and Leslie Biffie, assistant secretary to the minority. Charles Jackson, secretary to Senator Smith of South Carolina, is troop scout- master and Oco Thompson, a Senate clerk, is his assistant. Politics on the floor of the Senate it- self is no more keen than that shown in the clubroom of the pages on the eve of a troop election. Trading of votes, combines and political intrigue worthy of Senators are practiced. Page Coleman of South ving the bitterest politi- cal battle of his ‘career to be re-elected patrol leader. Page Davis, an appointee of Senator Allen of Kansas, is out against him. Coleman is a Democrat and Davis is & Republican, but party lines have been shattered.
