One of the best playthings our baby ever had was a large ball of wool yarn. He gets endless enjoyment out of stick- ing black and white headed pins into the ball and pulling them out again, only to repeat the process. The ball is 50 soft and the pins stick in so easily that it proves a most engaging and certainly a harmless pastime for him. Of course he has been taught never to put the pins into his mouth.

TWO -TO -ONI A Deadly Efects of Comparisons Would Prohibit Their Use in Families \DorothyDix €, MPARISONS are odious,” says an old proverb. They are more than odious, ‘They are the ultimate insult, the unforgivable affront and, in the family circle, where they are mainly used, they have started more rows than all of the seven major and minor sins combined. Also, they have blighted the lives of innumerable children by implanting the inferiority complex in their young breasts. For there seems to be something even in the meekest of us that will not endure having our shortcomings emphasized by being held up in contrast with another’s virtues. We may not have a very good opinion of ourselves, We may know that we would never take a prize in a beauty show and that the river is in no danger of being set on fire by our wit; we may realize that we are no Henry Ford or Mr. Rockefeller and yet retain sufficient self-satisfaction to live comfortably with ourselves. It is only when some cruel hand strips the last shred of our vanity from us by instituting & comparison between us and some one who possesses in the superlative degree all the qualities that we lack that we realize what miserable worms of the dust we are. The contrast is deadly and slays us. It dots the 1I's and crosses the t's an our faults. It turns a searchlight on our w and makes us see them as another sees them, and that is not to be borne.

The woman rs herself that her husband picked her out for a wife because he thought her the prettiest, the most charming and the most angelic girl he could find anywhere, The man never doubts that his wife regards him as an oracle and & go-getter, and that she admires him above all men. Fancy, then, what & blow it is to & woman when her husband begins to throw other women in her face and institute comparisons between her and them, which are always to her disadvantage. feminine flesh and blood.

Mother always wears hers two seasons.” “I don't approve of your gadding around to clubs. Mother never needed any amusement outside of her own home.” “I don't see why you don't manage better.

FAMOUS PERSONAL DIGS Charles James Fox Hands His Father a Verbal Uppercut. BY J. P. GLASS, “WELL, THEN,” ANSWERED THE SON, “IF YOU WILL HAVE IT, PEOPLE SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A GREATER ROGUE UNHANGED THAN YOU.” Charles James Fox, the great rival «f Edmund Burke, had & ready tongue which was almost always witty and sometimes wickedly so. One of his neatest sayings was his sentence regard- ing Lord Thurlow, whose qualities did not equal his appearance and manner, “I don’t think anybody could be as wise as Thurlow looks,” he said. When the British Prime Minister, Lord North, was rejoicing over news that New York had been conquered by the forces of George III, Fox chilled him with a few words. “It is & mistake, my lord,” said Fox. “New York is not conquered; it is only like the British ministry—abandoned.” Fox's father was the first Lord Hol- land, a man of the utmost latitude in thought and conduct. During Lord Holland's ministry, his appropriations of public money ran into huge figures. He was charged in a petition from the city of London, for instance, with being “the public defaulter of unaccounted millions.” ‘The terms on which Lord Holland lived with his brilliant son are shown by the following anecdote. At a period when his iniquities were on every tongue, Lord Holland went driving with Fox. After they had conversed upon various matters, his lordship asked: “By the way, what are people thinking and saying of me?” Fox, taken aback, tried to escape an | 7 answer. ay,” insisted his father, “speak angry,’ Fox. “T'll hear the truth, whatever it may be,” pursued Lord Holland. “Well, then,” answered the soh, “if you will have it, people say that there is not a greater rogue unhanged than you” : The paymaster general, as Fox suggested, was angry; and, as Was natural, he visited his feeling upon the object closest at hand. “And pray, sir,” said he, “where is your spirit not to resent such an injury?” Fox gave him a dig that ended any further questioning. “My lord,” he refned. “I should by no means want spirit to resent any in- jury to my father, as I look upon such s an injury to myself; nor should any single person dare to mention these matters with impunity. But surely, my lord"—and here he paused for effect— “you would not have me fight everybody in England.” (Copyright, 1931.) s ‘The British government has officially been asked to raise its appropriation for meat for Rufus, a cat at the Treas- ury, from 37 to 43 cents a week.

Many of these faults, he pointed out, are traced to lack of the right food elements in the diet of growing children. “‘Without the proper amount of Calcium and Phosphorus,’’ he stated, ‘‘the jaw is discouraged in its normal cium forms the basis of which the teeth are formed.”” To assure the healthy, normal growth of teeth and bones, modern authorities urge mothers to give their children foods rich in Calcium and Phosphates. Milk is the best natural food source of these minerals. Green vegetables also N contain them. Other excellent sources of Calcium and Phosphates are foods preplired with Rumford, the all-phosphate baking pow- der. Rumford is so rich in these vital food elements that an average Rumford biscuit contains four times the }fhosphnu and half the Calcium contained in a large glass of milk.

When the| child after some fright finds it dificult | to articulate and express his thoughts | glibly, he becomes convinced that here | is something he can’t overcome. This idea is more definitely impressed upon | him when his parents openly express their fears that we will continue to stammer and try their inept methods of hzlpln{ him. One of the most powerful sugges- tions a parent gives the child is the fear that his handicap is a lasting one. If one has a broken bone one knows well enough that weeks of rest and quiet will succeed in knitting it and | the bone will be whole and usable again. But let there be broken and shattered speech and the parents give the child no such helpful suggestion of improve- ment and cure. They openly bewail his disability. They say to each other before him, “Uncle John stuttered. Do you suppose he has inherited it?” They increase the child's nervousness and consequently his unstable speech until he _has This is the usual order of events when the child stammers as the result of some sickness or a terrific fright, the ynsettling results of which should be_temporary, but become permanent only because of the parenis’ unwise suggestions.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Understanding Ticker. Many women regard the stock ticker as & most mysterious affair. They often | watch the tape as it spins and pretend | Yet they walk| away unenlightened. Once you learn the h.ngulfe of the tape you can read it as readily as it is hoped you are reading this. First of all, stocks are known on the tape by symbols. American Telephone & Telegraph, for example, is simply “T” on the tape. United States Steel Having learned the symbol of the | particular stock in which you are inter- ested, the rest is correspondingly sim- ple. 'Each transaction in your stock will always follow the symbol letters. For example, suppose the ticker re- ports as follows: “X 10.13815.5.37%."” It means that 1,000 shares, or 10 units of full lots (100 shares), sold for $138% per shere, while 500 shares sold at $137Y, per share.
