When her mother tells her she must put on her rubbers herself, she weeps until mother feels sorry for her and puts on the rubbers. Immediately Betsy cheers up If somebody pushes against her roughly in the playground, there is a burst of tears, ““Teacher, teacher, Betsy's crying.” “Tell me When she isn't crying. That would surprise me,"” says Miss Lavinia, s _tears have soaked through even Miss Lavinia's stoic calm. Last week Betsy could not get the method of long division. Again and again Miss Lavinia tried to help her Each time she approached Betsy with the idea of showing her just how the trick was done, Betsy laid her head on_her arms and wept coplously. Friday morning Miss Lavinia said, ‘Betsy, you stay with me this afternoon when everybody goes home, and Il teach you how to do this.” Down went Betsy's head and the tears dripped fast. At noon time the | tears. dripped down into the soup and | mother eried, “For pity’'s sake Betsy, what is it now?” “Miss Lavinia’s goin I can't do it “Do what?" “Thaf. She says she will show me but I can't. I can't” “‘Come, come, wash your face and get ready to go back to school. You are going to be late” The tears flowed faster and the sobs came thicker. “Well, you're in no con- dition to go to school. Now you'll have to stay at home. Il telephone Miss Lavinia.” Immediately the tears dried up and the sobs ceased. - P 2 to keep me in I can't do it.” s 1 hasn't she stopped crying I thought so. Now.

Miss Lavinia just nodded and went on hear- ing Michael recite his tables as if Betsy had been there all the time. At th change of periods, right after recess, Miss_Lavinia took Betsy one side. and calmly began teaching her to make two 0 in six three times.

Schedules. | . Emphasis upon a regular schedule for | | baby is not my idea; neither is it a; | particularly new one. My oldest daugh- | ter was kept to a rigid schedule 23 vears ago, and I nervously viewed any | ation from that schedule as noth- | short of a crime. One grows less inflexible with the second and third babies, but I've never |lost my respect for schedules. They | make it possible for the busy mother o | | finish her dawn-to-dark duties. One never has to bother about deciding hen a thing shall be done, because the | ck does that. Bottle, bath, nap, all come along as regu- | lar tick of a metronome. Babies thrive on regular habits. The fault is solely the mother’s and im- provement begins when she accepts the blam. and determines to change. Mrs. O's baby is 1 year old and eighs 24 pounds. “I matice you lay 0 much stress upon schedules,” she says. “No matter how I try I can't keep her to a schedule, each day is different. One day I can feed her at 6. the next day I don't feel well or the milk man isn't here. I try to give her breakfast at 10:30, but she is often so sleepy I have to put her to bed ! “I give her daily one-half cup of cereal, one-half cup of vegetables, one tablespoonful of egg and three table- spoonsful of apple sauce. Do you think she is overfed. Sometimes at 7 o'clock at night she is fast ssleep and I hate to waken her. When can I give her the lk of a whole egg? How can I heip to start walking? She wa'ks when hold her, but won't try by herself I am not well and my duties are hard to attend to. But I do want to give her the right attention.” Some of the elementary methods of feeding are evidently unfamiliar to vou. Prepare enough bottles at 10 a.m. one day to last until 10 am. the next. The non-appearance of the milkman before 6 will not deprive baby of her morning feeding At 1 year the baby goes on a new schedule, feeding hours being at 7, 12 and 5:30. She should have one nap daily between 12 and 2. If there are two naps, one should be scheduled from 10 to 12 in the morning and other from 2 1o 3 in the afternoon There is no reson on earth why naps and meals should conflict if you have regular times for putting baby to bed. If you just wait until she falls asleep of exhaustion, what else can you ex- pect except irregularity. 1 Please send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope for may leaflets, “Week's Menu From Twelve to Eight- een Months” “Mental and Physicad Development the First Year” and on' “Bchedules for Two Bzbies.” The last | leaflet will show you how to mansge your day now as well as after the new baby arrives.

LOST AND FOUND Neither. NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. CRAYFISH. N early May, the shallow streams eand muddy ponds coax the very shoes off a boy's feet. Right be- fore him is a pond which promises mighty interesting surprises. On the bottom may be seen a cray- fish moving gracefully along. Disturb him and he disappears with great speed, churning the water as he goes. Of course, the great pincers are the first thing to attract your attention. They act as “finger and thumb" and the “thumb” is so jointed that it can be moved back and forth at will. Along the inside edges are sharp teenth and a claw tip. What small creature can escape this viselike grip? Behind the powerful nippers are the second and third pairs of legs, each provided with five segments. They can be moved with ease. The fourth and fifth pairs lack pincers. but they do have claws. You would think with this number of legs he would be amply provided. but between and above the mighty pincers are small, short, fringed legs khown as jaw-feet. There are two | more pairs of these that are very small. | All assist the crayfish when he dines Besides, there are three pairs of effi- | clent, ride-working jaws, one behind the other. | 'The head and chest are fastened se- | curely together. The eyes are black and | | oval, placed on the tip on an eyestalk. i | They can look in any direction and are | pulled in when danger threatens. | Long, fiexible antennae, stout at the | base and threadlike at the tips, are | seeking information, and the extra ones are called the antennules, which give | the warning, “Danger ahead.” | There are many swimmerets on the | abdomen, each supplied with a pair of gn:idles at the tip and fringed with airs. The tall is a marvelous organ. Tt is | fan-shaped. cpens and closes, lifts up {and curls under. It propels the cray- | fish with great speed backward.

She cleans and polishes the paddles on her hind feet and gives them a coat of waterproof glue. In grapelike clusters| the wee black globules are secured to| the sticky finish. The babies hatch and hang on to’ their mother for dear life. She cares for them until they bocome fearless and seek their own food. It takes five years for a crayfish to grow up. The food is tiny frogs, fish, bugs and bits of plants. When the water in the pond gets too low, the crayfish digs wells and backs into them. You have seen the “mud- chimneys” along the edges of drying streams and, no doubt, thought they be- longed to snakes. As the pond dweller increases in girth, he sheds his too tight shell. It £plits down the center of the back and floats off. The new skin is tender and elastic. The crayfish s now low in his mind and at the mercy of his enemies. He is soon out of danger, however. They are mighty fighters and often lose one or more legs and half of their antennae. This is not serious. They | can grow new ones. A round or two with a worthy opponent enlivens an otherwise monotonous day. | (Copyright. 1932.) | Straight Talks to Women About Money. BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Spends No Money on Self. The woman who never spends any money on herself is simply saving money for others. Sometimes we speak so persistently and earnestly about thrift that a few converts overbend in their efforts to live up to a high stand- ard of economic living. Every woman owes it to her own hap- piness, well-being and frame of mind to live comfortably, to eat well, and to dress in a becoming fashion. There are | plenty of superficial or unnecessary things on which we may economize without going to the extreme of cutting short on the kind of spending that makes life pleasant to live. Just what does the woman save who “never spends any money on herself? Usually she saves nothing, or next to nothing. The chances are more than even that some less salf-sacrificing member of the household is enjoying a few extras in life because of the thrift of the woman who “goes without.” In a few instances the money that is not spent is actually saved, but for whom? Not for the saver whe soon ac- quires the habit of doing without and consequently requires but little to live. Eventually the fruit of her saving years will E:l to another whose only virtue has n patience in waiting for the w%?x‘rmldm to oman is to | every Wi | spend, especially where spending will make life & bit more comfortable, a bit more colorful and a bit more zestful. There are many ways to save, several of which have been mentioned here from time to time, but none of them require a pinched or starved life. The woman who will not spend money on herself, so that she may die rich, or 50 that another may spend what right- fully belongs to her, or simply because thrift has gotten the better of her and o to 3 our pity; entitled to: bend a little on the side of indulgence. One is no better than another. 1. WOMEN'S-FEATURES A UNCLE RAY’S CORNER A Little Saturday Talk. April fool's day has come and gone, and we are launched in a new month.

N opposite sides of Capitol Hill two former members of the Tariff Commission, both appointed by the same President in the same month of the same year, are making names for themselves in Con- gress. In the Senate, Costigan of Colo- rado recently at- tracted nation-wide attention by lead- ing, with “Young Bob” La Follette, the spectacular but vnsuccessful fight to have the Gov- ernment appropri- ate Federal funds directly for the re- lief of the unem- ployed. In the House, Lewis of Mary land, too, staged a spectacular but un- successful fight the other day in at- tempting to write into the so-called billlon-dollar tax bill an amendment Increasing the levy on estates of the wealthy. President Wilson selected both men for the Tariff Commission back in March of 1917. Lewis resigned in 1925, Costigan in 1928. They returned to public life as members of the present Congress. Both are included in the ranks of | GOOD TAS | “progressive Democrats.” Costigan was | one of the seven “pmqressm"nl\z-aar- | in Congress who called a national con- ference last Summer to consider the | economic situation. | Lewis is a member of that “pro- gressive” bloc in the House led by La | Guardia of New York and Howard of | Nebraska, who meet two or three times each week to map out a plan of inde- pendent action | _ But that is about as far as the com- | parison goes. Costigan, a Harvard man. is nothing | of the shouting orator. Slight of stat- | ure he has a low but clear voice. His tone 15 convincing and ccmmands ate | tention. He is adept at drawing word | pictures. Lewis came up from the ranks. —He worked in a coal mine from the time J he was 9 until 23 and is proud that he learned to read in Sunday School. - Excitable when engaged in debate; Lewis shouts at the top of his voice while under fire and paces with short: | quick steps all around the chamber. During the recent debate on his | estate tax proposal at times he got so | worked up that the wrong words would | come to his lips. Once when a col- league suggested that his proroul WAS | socialistic he jumped to his feet, yell- | ing wildly. “I never thought a member of this | House would hurl such an ‘epitaph’ at | & colleague,” he boomed. The House rocked with laughter, TE TODAY BY EMILY POST. Famous Authority on Etiquette. Fingers. HAVE a letter today from A. L. asking: “Is it proper to take a chicken bone between tws hands or in fust one?" Answer: Properly, chicken bones should never be eaten in the fingers, except at picnics! Whether in the fingers of one or two hands is of no importance. A second letter on this subject says, “I have two little children and the one thing they love better than any- thing in the world is to pick up a chicken wing in their fingers. Do you think this may ever be permit- ted?” Answer:As T an- swered in the fore- going letter, pick- ing up chicken bones in the fingers is not the proper way to eat, and children should not be al- lowed to get into bad habits. But whether you some- times let them eat a chicken bone, as 4 picnic treat when they are quite alone, is a matter which you must your- self deeide. Under no circumstances ever use a whole drumstick covered with meat, and not even the pinion of | Emily Post. a wing, in the belief that holding bones | in fingers 15 prcper. But when children are little and skill in cutting is ve inefficient it does seem caviling to deny” them the delight of a wishbone or oc- | casional other bones. . | The truth is I don't want to take the responsibility for approval of what is really advice to be used at your dis- |cretion.
