Become dirty right after I had put clean clothes on you March yourself right off to bed.” That's all about it. You're going to go to bed and stay there for the rest of the day." ‘What relation has going to bed with dirty clothes? Any healthy child is go- ing to get his clothes dirty if he plays at all. Why not give him the kind of clothing that play and dirt won't hurt? If it is dress up time of a Sunday, a party, & trip, don't put on his dress suit until the last minute. Then take him along with you, promptly. It isn’t sensible to ask a child to keep his clothes without spot or wrinkle through a long dreary idleness. Here is another instance of going to bed that is a mistaken action. “My little son went to achool for the first two weeks and then, because a big boy WOMEN’S FEATURES school. He will not attempt to go to school unless we manage to get him to change his attitude toward it. Keep- ing him in bed isn't going to do that It will relax his body. and his mind, and teach him to retreat from trouble, but it will not make him face it. I think it is a mistake to send a child to bed for any purpose save sleep and rest. Going to bed ought never to be 2 punishment. bed is a place of punishment he is not going to like to go there at any If a child thinks that | time and then you are going to have a | bad time every bedtime Staying in bed is bad for children unless they are 1ll or in need of sleep Bed is a lonely place. The household activity goes on apart from it. Nobody stops to consider the one in bed except at meal time and that only in passing. Prolonged inactivity is cruel. A child is the soul of action. It is his life. To deprive him of it for any length of time is to do him great hurt. Aside fiom that, serious as it must be, is the habit he gets by goiry to bed. Soom he will go to bed of his own accord at every opportunity—when he i in bad humor, when things go against him, *henever he is 2t odds with his world. We don't want that. We have to teach a child to stand up to life, not to retreat from it. We want him to fight against weakness, illness and retreat. Then we certainly do not want him to get to making bed a refuge. He is to stay out of bed ex- cept when he needs to rest or to sleep or recover from illness. Dress children in overalis and sweat- ers and let them play. Deprive them of some privilege when they are be- having badly. Make the punishment reasonable and keep it related to the offense, as far as you can. It ix mot the severity of the punishment that matters. It is the effect. If you cem- sider the effect of sending a child to bed for long periods of the day you will soon see that it is a mistake.

You want to do your bath rcom over, but you have not enough mone: to do it, and—more than that—the plumbing and fixtures are still in good condition. Tell me, just what can you do? This was the question which Mrs. Johnson brought to her friend the con- tractor-builder. And here is his answer: “All we will have to do, Mrs. John- s0n, is to use paint and lacquer or en- amel. “You may have a green and blue, or a red and blue, or a yellow and black or red and white room. It is really very ltmnle because you have such nice plain walls, First we will give them a coat of washable paint. I suggest white or a shade just off dead white. “Then we will enamel the woodwork. Choose 2 plain color, not too light. Let it have plenty of character, but don't make it strident in color. For instance, if you want & red and white room, you will enamel the woodwork red, but don't make it a crimson or scarlet. Choose rather a shade like tomato red. “Then with paint we will plaid the walls. By using a stout string and stretching it tautly we will have a guide for the diagonal lines of your plaid. Have some of the lines broader than others. Don't try to get a mathemati- cally correct design. Of course, the lines must be straight and parallel, but they may bs put on irregularly.

Bachelor Congressmen vied with fathers and grandfathers there in de- nunciations. The gray-haired, 66-year-old George Seger of New Jersey, a father and a grandfather, was the first member of | the House to call attention to the kid- naping of the Lindbergh child. Cheers | greeted his statement that the Presi- | dent had taken a hand in efforts to apprehend the kidnapers. And there was deafening applause when he de- manded that Congress see that such a thing never happens again. P:obably the most excited and wrought up of any in the House was one of the foremost congressional bachelors—Hat- ton Sumners of Texas, chairman of the Judiclary Committee, and the man who will guide through the House any legis- lation aimed at abductors, Sumners usually is calm and collected when he gets on the floor to make a speech. Trained in law, he prefers the cool, logical method of discussing a subject But for five minutes Sumners ‘ndulged himself in one of the most impassioned denunciations that the House has heard in many a day. He paced to and fro in the well of the House shouting at the top of his voice. His face was red, his arms were both swinging wildly. Another gentleman, generally consid- ered as being hard-boiled, added his voice to the others. He even went so far as to demand the death penalty for any person who would threaten another even by means of a letter. All of which was ample proof to those who saw that the kidnaping of this child—it might well have been another —was uppermost in the hearts of that group of men. It was a manifestation of that feeling common to man. Perhaps it is safe to predict that there will be enacted by that same group leg- islation designed to end the sort of thing they so vehemently denounced. There are bills pending now. Cochran of Missouri has a bill providing the death penalty for one who kidnaps and transports another interstate. A second bill, already reported favorably out of committee, levies heavy fines on a per- son who uses the mails to threaten A Congress, aroused as it is at pres- ent, may be expected to strike quickly.

After climbing all day, grama fancies, the baby seems tired out and has circles under his eyes. Otherwise he is very well and sturdr. I think we may assure all the kind- hearted grandmas, indulgent aunties and anxious mothers that the danger of a baby or child straining his heart or otherwise injuring himself in any such spontaneous play or activity is so remote that it is rLot worth thinking about. A healthy ch/ld should be fairly tired out at the end of the day. It is the unhappy child wko comes to the | end of his day without feeling at all tired 1t is a sad handicap to put upon any child, boy or girl, this weak heart com- plex. Of course the mother, aunt or grandmother who assumes the child's heart is not strong would not knowing- ly rob the child of the happiness which good physical and mental health as- sur many instances. Here is an axiom which may seem arbitrary but is nevertheless scientifi- cally and practically sound: No one has a “weak” heart if he has no heart disease or other serious illness. If a child or an adult has a reart which is not strong enough for all ordinary or spontaneous or routine activities, in- cluding regular gymnasium or physical education classes in school, then that child or adult should be under proper medical care and control, and only the opinion or advice of the physician should warrant the evasion of any such ordinary activities in any case.
