WOMAN'S PAGE. Weather and Children’s Clothes BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘This is the season of the year when, mothers have to watch their children’s; tays health carefully. Foolish precautions| ‘The former annoys youngsters to the| point of discourteous rebellion, while the latter is ruinous to the mother's health. Neither is successful in accom- lishing the defired end. The watch- ess that is’well timed consists in providing suitable garments for the children and in seeing that they have sufficient n food. Attention to cannot be put one side lightly. Temperatures vary from day to day. To t that a child ‘wear the same coat or outer garment in the unseasonably warm days and the unseasonably cold days is unwise. If but one has to be worn, then the change should be made in garments worn un- der coats. If the coat is heavy for the Beason, see that the child wears a suit- ably thin dress or play suit under it on warm days and a heavier one on cool If the coat is of Spring or Sum- mer weight, a_sweater should be worn| and worrying should not be indulged in.| o cool days, In addition to a heavier: suit. Omit the sweater on warm day: On a hot day when real Summer tem- perature exists the suit also may be light weight. A mother should attend to these matters so that the child will appreciate that his comfort is consid- ered. Then he will not object. Children may be too warm when coming in from active sport or they may be chilly from too quiet play. Let them gradually cool.off indoors without get- ting in draughts if they are over- heated. If chilly, let each get by a heater. Give the child a glass of hot milk. a bowl of hot soup or something warm to eat. Sometimes a warm bath and a brisk rubdown may be wise treat- went. In the matter of proper nourishment, the mother should realize that outdoor play stimulates the appetite. The cracker box, cooky jar and bread box will be sought frequently, and fruit will disappear as if by magic. Chiding a child for satisfying its appetite is poor policy. Better keep a good supply of nourishing food on hand and see that it is ready at the right times. Children appreciate such care. Let them have it. (Copyright, 1930), Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS, Unconscious and Subconscious. Many persons are’ confused by the two terms, unconscious and subcon- sclous. What do they mean? What is A famous Harvard professor some years ago said that the story of the subconscious could be told in three words, “There is none.” Another even more famous Harvard professor held that the human mind was a double-track mechanism. He ::w ‘h:h;: any one en':l m e‘vety hour of y—a person doing two things at once, both of which originally re- quired for performance a certain amount of attention. This can mean only that it is possible to learn to do something so well that it no longer re- quires much thinking to do it. The thinking takes place in an uncontrolled fashion; that is, subconsciously. ‘Turn now to the unconscious. This term is nothing more nor less than an exaggerated interpretation of the first. While the term itself is & very old one, it has only recently come into popular use. It was Dr. Freud of Vienna who made the term popular. We all tem- | the difference between them? |\porarily forget names, mislay objects, make “slips of the tongue,” entertain fears and hopes we cannot account for. Instead of saying that these ‘are the results of uncontrolled trafic on the double-track system, Freud that they all took place in a separate com- partment of mind. This compart- ment he called the unconscious. The idea seemed so plausible that it was readily taken up and became a common psychological term. Psychologists who keep on distin- guishing between the two terms merely mean that acts that take place on a subconscious level are less automatic than those that take place on an un- conscious level.

What is the matter? Some of it may be due to malnutri- tion, some of it to fatigue, some of it to poor habits. A great deal of it can be corrected if parents and teachers and physicians work together and aid the child first to gather strength to hold hims:1f together, then to form the habits that retain good posture. | If a child falls into poor posture habitually he ought to have a thor- ough physical examination.

They pay interest at the | rate of about 415 per cent per year. This |is a cash reserve similar to a savings account, and withdrawal is possible at any time. ! A last word may be said regarding those who employ the dividends in still another way. They calculate the amount of the dividend, and take out as much insurance as the net cost will permit. You might call this discounting the dividend. Atter your insurance policy has been in force for a year your company will inform you that a dividend has accrued on the policy. This may amount to 4% or almost 5 per cent of the total amount of the policy. It might be well to consider now how to handle this dividend. It is the prac- tice of many straight life policies to de- duct the amount of the dividend from their yearly premium, and so lighten the burden of carrying their insurance. Those who make semi-annual or quar- terly payments, may deduct it from the next payment due. There are several other things which one may do with her dividends. They may be allowed to accumulate in order to convert an ordnary life policy into a paid-up one. This may be done in 20 to 25 vears. It will depend on one’s age when she first took out the policy. 1f this means of using the dividend does not appeal to you, you may prefer to use them to change your straight life into an endowment policy. This will require a longer period of time than the | other change.

ITS of Washington gossip picked up at random: ‘The President of the United States was treated just as any other engineer by the members of his profession at the annual conven- tion of the Ameri- can Society of Me- chanical Enginéers in Washington re- cently. The President sat at no head table the evening of the soclety's annual banquet at which he was the guest of honor and speaker. ‘There was no such thing. Hoover's table did not differ from the others. He and Mrs. Hoover, with the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Wilbur and the ranking officers of the society, 12 in all, sat alongside the other diners. And when he made his speech it was necessary for him to walk to the temporary platform at the front of the banquet hall. Lawrence Tibbett, baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Co., & native of Cal- ifornia, and President Hoover are per- sonal friends. Tibbet, who sang in the Capital recently in two operas, “La Bo- heme” and “Traviata,” usually is enter- | tained at the White House on his visits to Washington. Lucrezia Bori, wha also sa there with Metropolitan, declined an invita- tion to be entertained by her country's Ambassador to the United States during her stay. Her reason was that when she sings complete rest is necessary. Senator Townsend of Delaware is an enthusiastic theater fan, stock com- panies included. One evening at “Nan- cy's Private Affair,” presented by the local stock company, the tall, white- haired Senator was one of the most en- thusiastic members of the audience. Between acts, he mingled with the crowds in the foyer, engaging those he knew in conversation. And he had on one of those light- ay business suits which he wears ily on the Hiil. It’s always wise to put the exact ad- dress on a letter. One addressed to “Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, Woodley, Washington, D. C.,” was returned marked “U) wn.” And this, despite the fact that Mrs, Stimson is the wife of the Secretary of State, and Woodley, the Stimson home, 7::':1 the most famous houses in Wash- n. orld’s Fastest Freezing of ice and desserts witn KELVINATOR'S - No lengthy waiting for ice or desserts to freeze with the 4-Way Cold Kelvinator.
