WOM AN’S PAGE. When Praise Has Double Value BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Appreciative words act lke °tonic. They tone up the system of a worker and any one who does & gracious serv- dce, and make them feel light-hearted. When one is light-hearted tasks are easier to do. Hard work becomes less arduous. More can be accomplished in T TAKES BUT A VERY FEW MO- MENTS TO_ WRITE AND POST A NOTE OF PRAISE, BUT ITS WORTH MAY BE PERMANENT. ® short time by a person so buoyed up, and with less fatigue than when the worker is depresesd or when she feels her efforts are not satisfying to her family or her employer. The stimulant of approbation for good work is a de- light to get, and it is scarcely less of & Joy to speak the cheerful words that are well merited. If the words are to do the most & is not enough to say them to the per- son who is faithfully performing a task in a pleasant manner.

Such praise | may meen a raise to a higher position, | an increase in salary, and perhaps both, | Such words are valuable. They bring | the person praised to the mind of the | | one higher up, and let him know he has | a worker who is giving such good satis- | faction to customers that attention is | called to some especially meritorious act or_courtesy. 1t is impossible to estimate the value of appreciative words said to th- right person. Fulsome praise, extr:%agant expressions of approbation, and any- thing that savors of flattery makes little or no impression on either the person herself or on an employer. The words, written or spoken, must ring true. They must be sincere for then only do they carry weight. It is when good service is rendered and is called to the attention of the right person higher up, as well as spoken of to the one who does it, that a double value results, (Copyright, 1030.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Dreams of Falling. | Among the many sorts of dreams { which visit us nightly the so-called fall- ing dreams seem to come with more {than ordinary frequency. The falling | dreams may therefore be taken as a type. At least they have been so re- garded for a long time by students of the subject. . Of course, no one knows why falling dreams should be so universal. Nothing more is known about them for eertain than is known about dream life in gen- eral. We do have, however, some interest- ing theories on the subject. Some have supposed that these fall- | ing dreams tell us something about our | ancestors who lived a million or so years ago. According to this ancestral theory, ancient man lived in trees. Sleep was a hazardous luxury, so our primitive forefathers slept lightly, always having in mind the possibility of falling out of their arboreal beds. This anxiety be- | came, therefore, a sort of fixed phobia | and in the course of centuries developed | into a fixed mental mechanism. So, ac- cording to the theory, when we dream of falling we are merely sliding down the ancestral tree and thinking over ‘:tlga‘.n the ancient fears of our ances- ors, | _Lately another theory has been ad- vanced. It is said that human nature is notorious for its cowardice, and cow- ardice means a fear of the loss of one’s | economic or social attainments. Hence | | the dream of falling, which represents its_nocturnal equivalent. But, then, who knows?

But since it is so important an article in their daily diet it should be eaten and eaten with relish. I occasionally change the flavor of it a little by adding & bit of vanilla to some of the white cereals when they are cooking and by dropping a few raisins into the dark ones and these little variations never fail to win words of praise from daddy as well as the children.

C, g 4 Charts \DorothyDix| uccess When You Choose a Job, Choose One for Which You Are Fitted and in Which You Expect to Stay For a Lifetime. FRIDAY Advice P! on Choosing & Job YOU are about to take your first job, daughter. .Here are & few signposts to guide your inexperienced feet along the devious and dangerous road | you are setting forth upon through the business world. | First. Have a definite objective. Don't be like the heroine of the old song who warbled: “I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." That | is the fix with most women and it is why so few of them succeed. They haven't the faintest idea of what they want to do in life, or what they are fitted to do. They are filled with vague, fluttering, intangible yearnings to be motion- | picture stars or professional dancers or famous writers or queen of the Zulu | Islands, but they haven't a single. honest-to-goodness, concrete purpose to do any specific thing well enough to make a success of it. { So study vourself. Cast aside your vanity and vain imaginings. Look yourself squarely in the eyes and appraise your looks, your personality and your brains, your industry, your talents, if any, and vour inclinations, as coldly and dispassionately as you would another girl's. Then decide what sort of work you are best fitted for by nature and liking. Don't force yourself into something that you loathe because the other girls are doing it, ‘or because you think it is a lace-ruffie job. If you are timid and domestic and handy with the needle, don't try to be a lady longshoreman or & bond saleswoman or a buyer who must trust her judgment, Always remember, in choosing an occupation, that women succeed best when they stick to womanly pursuits for which their sex has been training for uncounted generations, and which give trem the benefit of what Mr. Darwin called “inherited acquired characteristics.” ‘The chief contribution that women have made to the business office and which makes them invaluable as private secretaries is the housewifely ability to keep things in order and remember all the little details of a business transac- tion and be able to put their hands on a paper in the dark. Not long ago the head of the biggest advertising company in this country told me that their woman writers of advertising were successful only so long as they wrote like women. When they began to write like men they were merely imitators. Having selected your job, make yourself an expert in {t. Learn everything | to know about it that is possible. Bend every energy to acquiring skill in it. You will have to work just as hard for a little salary as you will for a big one. | A $10-a-week cook stands over the stove just as many hours a day as a $10,000 | chef. One woman gets $5 for making a hat. Another fifty. It is all in the way it is done. Put that in your cigarette holder and smoke it. Go at your job as if it were your life work. Don't regard it as just a plank | to bridge over the space between the school room and the altar. Perhaps you will marry. Perhaps you won't. Perhaps even if you marry you will have to support not only yourself, but & houseful of children and your husband, Dress appopriately, We all judge & woman by her clothes and when we see a girl in a business office dolled up in chiffons and beads as if she were on her way to a party, we instinctively set her down as a moron and wonder why her employer keeps one who is such a poor advertisement for his business. ‘Take criticism gratefully. When your superiors find fault with your work, don't fly into a temper or burst into tears and regard yourself as a persecuted | martyr. If you have made a blunder, don’t justify it. Apologize for it and | see that you do not commit the same mistake a second time. Of course, & whole book of etiquette could be written for the business girl, but if you will follow these few rules you will become one of those business girls who are the treasure of every office and aré spoken of as “our Miss Smith.” JUNE DOROTHY DIX.

There are a few facts pertinent to | automobile insurance that should be | part of every woman's knowledge. They |are concerned with new features of | that type of insurance. | Of them all one perhaps is newest in | the true sense of the word. It is con- cerned with ball bonds. At least a few of the companies are issuing cards to licy holders entitling them to cash nds up to $5,000. If one is involved in an accident or is charged with a traffic violation in an- other State, she may be considerably embarrassed when asked to put up a | bond to assure appearance. Now, it is only necessary to get into touch ‘'with the nearest agent of the | company and bond is arranged at once. In inaccessible places a collect wire to the home office will effect the same convenience. Another growing evil is the pilferage which many car owners know of through personal experience. It is pos- sible now to get theft insurance that | covers your car against pilferage up to limited” amounts. This protects the woman who returns to her parked car to find that the spare shoes have been removed, together with her road lamp, robe and whatever elsc may be loose or detachable. Ustially policies only cover pilferagc losses above $50 in a general theft pol I guess a cut-worm must hab et up my garden. Oh, well—let him hab it. (Copyright, 1930.) FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. | The Vitamins, One rather easy way o remember | the distinctions between vitamins A, | B and C is this: | Lack of vitamin A causes retarded growth in the young. The importance of ‘this vitamin has been especially stressed as the result of recent investi- gation. | Lack of vitamin B causes beriberi and other diseases usual in the Orient, where | the staple article of diet is polished rice. | Lack of vitamin C causes scurvy and the malnutrition of many bottle-fed | babies who do not have orange juice or its equivalent. Vitamin A is plentiful in milk, butter and codliver ofl. Vitamin B is plentiful in spinach, cabbage, sauerkraut and tomatoes and | is present in a very large number of other foods. | Vitamin C is usually destroyed by cooking and is found abundantly in | lemon juice, orange juice, berries and in either cooked or raw tomatoes. i SR | For participating in a “mensur,” or | friendly duel with swords, 10 students | were senten_ed recently by a Berlin | court to three months’ imprisonment, | but were released on repeat the offens THIS LIQUID 1S SUDDEN DEATH TO FLIES AND MOSQUITOES BECAUSE ‘It Penetrates” © 1930, 5. 7. 000 use Slo-baked Wonder Bread UMMER mealtime {s easy meal- time when slo-baked Wonder Bread plays a leading role in your kitchen.
