While walking along one of the Paris boulevards with her mother —all the while thinking of some new plan of approach to obtain her heart's was attracted by a bit of something just off the curbing. She picked it up. and, behold, it was a 5-franc piece! “My Prench doll!” she gasped, holding it high for her mother to see. Stern denial had met defeat. The mother's heart melted and sufficient money was ndfied to purchase the greatly coveted doll.

To save a threatened American home, Dr. Louise Stanley, chairman of the Committee on the Family, advocated a national production program based {on national consumption needs in her report for the coming White House child conference. Chief of the Federal Home Economics Bureau Dr. Stanley granted that sta- tistics on marriage, divorce and pro- portion of births to population now seem to indicate family disintegration. | But she found family life worth saving. |~ Machine-equipped industry, her com- | mittee had discovered, had invented elaborate procedures for housekeeping | and created new wants with a multi- plicity of products. The home re- | searchers saw, keeping pace with this | trend, increased urbanization, growth of apartments and flats, less space per person, less privacy, less family enter- taining, more dependence on outside amusements, fewer children and the cost of a child increased. Fitting production to goods used, the committee held, market. obviate the unemployment and migration, “which give to urban family [life its most objectionable features,™ enable the worker to establish a pers manent home and give to the child | family security. Dr. Stanley's committee placed the official stamp of approval on the wife “if she can earn enough to pay for the goods or services she would pro- duce in the home and get more enjoy- { ment in this outside work.” | It also nodded at the homemaker | buying food prepared outside the home. provided she knew its quality and com- | position. But it sald she ought to serve it at | home, since “the family dining table |furnishes a means of recreation and | bringing of the family together, which | unquestionably have an important in- fluence on family life.” Family dis- | cussion of the family budget, both of money and of time, was also advised | as a home-integrating factor. | Many original researches, including a study of home environment of 9,00 | school children, went into the commit? tee conclusions, which also were based on census reports and all other avail- able family facts and figures.

While these results appeared pessi- mistic for the city family, the Stanley report said, evidence from the study of 9,000 school children showed city .chil- dren better adjusted than rural chil- dren. This poorer child adjustment to the “stable rural family” was regarded by the committee as “warranting a conjecture” that the “older family pat- tern should be changed.” probably in regard to the “authoritarian and un- democratic parental attitudes of the old-fashioned family.” The committee classified the value of family life in four categories—control of environment, inculcation of social values, orientation and regeneration. From the family it said, each person gets his name and his status; his cul- tural expression in clothes, vocabulary, voice; his “nursery training” for a truism and ethics; his one chance to be at ease—free from the necessity of being anyone but himself. The committee doubted whether any other agency than the family could furnish these “personality factors.” It therefore recommended school and college courses “to further the satis- factions of intelligent participation in family life and to prepare for court- ship, marriage and parenthood.” FURNACE RESUMES Lavino Plant Goes Into Blast After Year's Idleness.

BORISTRANSHOT CALLED ACCIDENT Soldier Stumbles, Causing| Report Royal Coaches Were Fired Upon. | By the Associated Press. 1 SOFIA, Bulgaria, November 1.—The | accidental discharge of a rifie by a Bulflrlln army recrult who was pa- | trolling the railway line near Philipop- olis as the train bearing King Boris and Queen Ioanna passed was given today as the official explanation of a report yesterday that the train had been fired upon. The young soldier, the ministry of communications sald, stumbled as he was walking his post and the gun was discharged. Bulgaria’s youngest generation is a little disappointed in the lovely Toanna, whom King Boris has brought home to reign as his Queen. | She didn't wear a crown and ermim‘l robes today as she stood on a palace | balcony beside the handsome - Bori while 200,000 school children marche by cheering and tossing bouquets af the royal pair. | She was more like a big sister, flash- | ing a tender smile the tiniest of her subjects who came close to han thelr flowers over the balcony, than | like a Queen whom one sees only in | the movies. But Ioanna won the hearts of more mature Bulgars in this day's celebra- tion. She smiled for two hours with the sun in her eyes. She refused to| sit down, and she took .ill-aimed bou: quets on'the chin like a veteran. She drew upon her experience as a Princess of Italy when she opened the | schools of the vacation colonies named | in_her honor, and she proved herself | born to the regal manner. | Her subjects were almost lyrical in her praise tonight, and in every quarter of the city it was evident that her tender sympathy for the children to- | day held rich promise for her life-long popularity in the future, | In proportion to population, the [ United States has more physicians than any other country.
