WOMAN’S PAGE., A WASHINGTON BY HERBERT PLUKMEI’. nothing in the appearance of Utah's Democratic Senator—the tall and scholarly Willlam H. King— that suggests he would interest himself in a subject s0 technical as on such . subjects as the tariff or Marines in Latin American countries—the latter his favorite topic—one can almost visualize the black robe of the justice over his shoulders. chooses his words with care. He presents his case in a straightforward and meticulous fashion. “Radio and its problems have long in- terested him, but until a short while | ago he never bothered to make a se- rious study of this subject. His friend, Senator Dill of Washington, is one of the Senate’s recognized authorities on radio and heretofore King has been content to let him lead the way. ‘With the advent of television his curiosity became aroused. He decided 1o do a little personal investigating of the whole subect. Now he has some very definite ideas and plans to work for their adoption. He has become convinced that the existing radio law must be thoroughly studied and brought up to date by Congress at its next session. But it's the television angle which particularly interests him. “Television is so new and so im- portant,” says the Senator, “that i staggers the imagination. Few are aware of its potentialities. For that ::aexllt we must become acquainted ‘The question of censorship of tele- vision is being considered by him. But as to that phase he admits thit he must do more investigating. “It is a matter to be considered from NANCY PAGE Nancy Knows About Three Strawberry Pies. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE., “How many kinds of strawberry ple @0 you know about Nancy?” “Not 50 many. Let's see—there is the ple made with two crusts, just as any frult ple. The bottom crust is dusted or partially covered with a mixture of sugar and flour—about one cup sugar to two tablespoonfuls flour. After the mixture is on the bottom, the washed and hulled berries are put in and then il ing ot oven. When baked and cooled fill with a mixture of washed, hulled béries, cut in halves, sweeten:d and folded into whipped eream and the remalnder spread over the top. Then there is the ple which calls for a baked shell into which is put a meringue stiffiy beaten and sweetened into which are folded halved berries. This ple is put in a siow oven and baked for about 15 minutes. This crusts the meringue but does not give the berries a cooked taste. This pie, too, must needs bs served at once.” DAYBOOK all angles, It's certainly something to | think about.’ ‘With Senator King entering the radio field the Senate will be well fortified with expert opinions when the subject comes up for discussion. Senator Dill is a student of radio and has made it his legislative hobby for a number of years. He is co-author of the present law. And Wallace H.| ‘White, jr., of Maine, the House's radio expert and co-author with Dill of the Dill-White radio legislation, moves over 1o the Senate for a six-year term next December. Your Baby and Mine R BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, OW that children are out of | doors most of the day, the | mother’s troubles are by no| means ended. She faces the | probjem of what to do about the neighborhood children, who are| usually a continual problem to her. ‘When the children spent much of their time in the house, she could manage to encourage only those visitors who Wwere suitable companions. With the children running wild, she has less and less in- fluence on the “gang.” In every neighborhood there is always some one child who is anathema to the mothers, It may be a boy or a girl, but in either case, the children are| ruled by that iron hand. The “boss” | possesses himself of any child’s toys and | brooks no interference. He uses terrible | language, which all the other children | immediately make their own. In fact, “that child” is always the reason for every other child’s bad manners, mis- behavior and disobedience. He is the one rotten apple that spoils the sack of good ones. As long as mothers can find such a convenient alibi, they need never look too closely at their own faulty manage- ment. What would mothers do without some child in the * neighborhood to blame for the sins of their own children? When a mother says to me, “That | child is a bad influence on my child,” |1 want to know immediately: Why isn't your child a good influence on | him? If your own child is surrounded |by all the right influ'nces, if your understanding, your willingness to talk | frankly to the child, and your dally | example can be so easily overthrown by |one child, of what value are they? You see the absurdity of it yourself. ‘There is, in my opinion, only one | factor in a neighborhood situation that makes the least bit of difference, and that factor is easily controlled. Are your children playing with children their own age? That is the important, | the very important thing. Nothing else matters very much. What they learn from each other can easily be counter- acted by the influence of the home. It is bad for a child to be the com- | panion of an older child. The older | child needs the stimulus, the social de- | velopment that is possible only with | children his own age. The younger | child needs to practice being leader as | well as follower, to think for himself. When ages are too divergent, the devel- | opment of both the older child and younger child suffers. If there is a child who obviously exerts an unwholesome influence on a | neighborhood, do not make the mistake of ostracising the child and thus driving | him into despondency and a sense of | inferiority. | Encourage children of like ages to | play together. Then welcome into your home and under your good influence the | child who is unruly or mismanaged or neglected at home. His influence is| nullified, and you have not been gullty | | of penaitzing & child for the mistakes ' | of parents. i | Ham Fried in Sauce. 1 | Mix one tablespoonful of mustard | with one tablespoonful of maple sirup and add enough table sauce to make a | smooth paste.

Shall I let her do it?” “Why does the teacher want to skip him? “He is smart and the class is very| crowded and she thinks he could go| ahead.’ “Is the teacher going to prepare him for the skipping? Will she teach him the work of the grade he skips? No? ‘Then he cannot skip. Every p in the course of study is to be carefully taken. Some need more attention than others, but the whole course is neces- sary if the child is to do well. No, unless he dces the work of the grade he skips let him stay where he is. It is hard for a child to keep up with a class which has a good knowledge of lthek previous grades’ work which he acks.” ‘But if I skip him he saves a year.” ‘What is he going to do with the e ‘Do with i}? do with it?” 'You say he is goin Save it from what? does he do with this year he saves’ “He gets out of school earlier. goes to work sooner.” “Maybe. Many a child has skipped grades in school only to find himself stranded by the time he hoped to enter | high school. He is outside of every- | thing. Nobody wants him in the | wroup. He can't play, he can't work, ne can't live with the children who | are years older than he in body and mind and experiences.” After all, living is a matter of | growth trhough experience. It takes time t> gather experiences. It takes time to grow a body. It takes more time to grow a mind. Birthdays are not good measuring marks when it comes to evaluating power. Power is what counts and power comes by growth and discipline and achleve- ment. Reasonable care should be taken to see that a child is working to his full capacity, that he goes forward at his own rate of speed. But reasonable care should be taken to see that he does not exceed his own rate of speed. He has several sides to be consid- ered. His birtHdays are to be counted. His intelligence is t> be rated. His speed of growth must be noted. The development of his body must be well | considered. His power to get along with his schoolmates must be weighed. All of the child must be regarded with loving, farseeing eyes, before he is speeded through school. Certainly he is not to be speeded to lighten the teaching load. When a child can make two grades instead of one, or one and a half in- stead of one, he should do =0, but at the same time, his course shculd be enriched beyond the bare bones of facts. Rather than give him a short, thin course, give him a longer, broader, richer one, so that he enters high school and college with a fine back- ground full of cultural values, full of rich meaning. Better spend a time in making growth rich and certain than in marking time while grewthd catches up to vain ambition. (Copyright. 1091) ‘What do you mean, to save a year. And Pot Roast.

But it may be that you are already over twenty-three; that you can't spare the three or four years you would have to give for a nurse's training, The next thing you should consider is body massage. It pays well and the field is not crowded. To be & masseuse you need a vigorous body. You should {have a clear, attractive looking skin and a cheerful personality, so that as soon as you walk into a room you will radiate health. If you have all these, you should then take a course in body | massage at a first-class hospital. In many states such a course of training is obligatory. In these states you have to take an examinatidn and get a license before you can practice. The training is not long, but it is difi- cult. You have to spend about six months, I believe, at most good schools, and then you are sent to practice in hospitals which give free treatment to disabled and crippled people. After that you are prepared to work. Most women who do body massage do not study anything else.
