LITTLE SISTER BY RUBY HOLLAND. “I know why my hair's so turly. I always eat my trusts when muvver's watching.” Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Small Houses. Makafs of attractive furniture seem to have adapted themselves recently to the demands of the small apartment. Many of the new cottages and houses show nearly as small rooms as the apartments, and unless building costs go down considerably we shall most of us have to live in small quarters for some time to come—that is, of course, unless we are fortunate enough to pos- sess or to secure one of the old-time | large-room houses. But the small room. has advantages. and it can be furnished quite satisfac- torily if ad is taken of pieces of furniture that are made for small quar- Chests. of drawers and chiffoniers to be almost always made quite shallow and quite wide, now the top of many chests of drawers or chiffoniers is almost square, giving as much drawer space as possible for the amount of room occupled against the wall. ‘There is & new piece of furnituré that combines the requirements of a desk and chiffonier. There are two or three lower drawers-and then a top section that lets down like an old-time desk. Within this there are small drawers and cLbbyholes as in any other desk and above them two or three drawers which might be ‘used for clothes and dress ac- | cessories. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, MARCH 25 1930. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. The widespread interest in* calories has been stimulated by the equally widespread interest in dieting. While this is fine for an adult under expert guidance, it is unnecessary in feeding average children, and sometimes this interest leads to very poor diets. ‘We can determine the probable num- ber of calories a child will need accord- ing to age and weight, give the child that exact number of calories and still f | have him very badly fed. Certain foods, such as fats and sugars, contain a large number of calories in a given amount— tablespoonful or cupful, as the case may be. Other foods—notably, tomatoes, cabbage and green vegetables of all types—contain a small number of cal- ories in the same amounts. But that does not make cream and sugar better foods to be stressed in the diet than to- matoes or cabbage. We need many foods valuable for their bulk, minerals and vitamins quite aside from their | caloric content. When a mother writes, “Send me a list of all the foods and their caloric values” (it would take a booklet to con- vey such information), I feel that the mother has the wrong idea about diet. She is think of it in terms of calo- ries and not of food. Such considera- tions belong to the scientific field of dietetics and not to amateurs. Children need all kinds of food in the diet. That is supremely important for the mother to know. If she sees that the child gets these varieties and |his appetite is satisfied, she needn’t have the least idea of the number of | calories he is getting to know that he |is properly fed. | X the child is grossly overweight, she | should take pains to see that he gets the same varieties of food in lessened amounts to discourage an enormous gain. If he is underweight and is eat- |ing in amounts all he can manage at {the moment, she is wise to try adding to his diet foods that are of high caloric | content without adding much to. the diet’s bulk. ' But again she needs ex- pert help with this problem. ‘We might compare calories to the better-known standard measurement, inches. When we make a dress for a child we fit the dress to her, seeing that it isn’t too long or too short. When we get through we don’t worry about the dress and say, “Now, I wonder if it has the right number of inches in it.” It is much the same with calories. Good diets are figured by dietitians to con- tain .an adequate number of calories. If the child gets all the types of foods he should have, if he is fed regularly, eats an amount that satisfies him, keeps him gaining and obviously happy and well, then what odds how many calories are in the diet? If the diet fits the child, that is all that matters. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. . BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

MODEST MAIDENS “I SAID, ‘WE'RE OUT SLUMMING AND WE WERE TOLD THIS ADDRESS IS A SPEAKEASY.'” Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Mind of the Savant. It is generally conceded that the world’s great savants possess a rare sort of temper or temperament which marks them as something entirely dif- ferent from the ordinary run of people. At the same time very few people are able to describe this very temper which they imagine they recognize in the psychological make-up of savants in general. Savants are supposed to possess big heads with bulging areas over the eyes. These bulging areas give a peculiarly deep-set and piercing appearance to the eyes. And so we popular]y read some- thing' uncanny into the eyes of the savant. Beyond this eye-psychology none of us have much to say. Of course, there are savants and savants, Many reputed savants are good actors and succeed in getting savant credits they do not deserve. A real savant is a negative sort of creature. He appears to be interested in anything but the things that are inter- esting. He has no revérence for an- tiquity, unless he happens to be an archeologist, anthropologist or a col- lector of antiques. Moreover, he has no | reverence for himself. In fact, he for-| gets all about himself in his eagerness | to find out the meaning of the few thousand curious facts he keeps pon- dering over. The real mark of a savant mind, how- ever, is rather easy to describe. He dif- fers from the average man only in the way he looks at things. The savant has acquired the habit of looking at the facts of science from the inside. Aver- age mortals look at the same facts from the outside. The vant is interested in man wants to know what we can do with the things after we have them.

JOHN R. GUNN. One-Talent Men. “And unto one he gave five talents, to another two and to another one.”— Matt. xxv.15. It is not given to many of us to be endowed with the “superlative talent.” We “do not belong, by profusion of temnerament or affluence of faculty, | with the lords of light, the creators of beauty or the rulers of men.” The gift extraordinary has been withheld from us. W: cannot think in the great way. We cannot write in the great way. We cannot act in the great way. We have not the genius to reach the “towering heights where the masters dwell ahd | reign with the ease of rulership that is the distinction of the mighty ones of earth.” We belong to the world of ordi- nary men, the men endowed with the single talent. And yet we have our place in the scheme of human affairs. We may not achieve the results of the man of the | two or the five talents, but we can make some contribution to the world’s good. ‘The fact is, the world has greater need for men with the ordinary gift than for men with the gift extraordi- nary. Where one man is needed to lead, hundreds are needed to fill the ranks, and these rank-and-file men are the ones counted on to do the larger part of the world’s work. The sum total of their talents mounts far above the sum total of those possessed by the men of two and five talents. If they should all bury their talents, as the one-talent man in the parable did, the whole pro- gram of the world’s work would go to smash. < Let not the common man be ashamed of his gift or of his place in the world.
