C—6 WOMEN’S FEATURES. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, - Original, Artistic Ideas In Screen Making Give Quality to Decoration| | Work Done at Home Is Fascinating and Re-| quires Inspiration as Well as Imagination. This screen 1s made of a collection of colored magazine pictures pasted on a composition board background. A thin coat of shellac gives fprotection. scheme of a room. This opens —Star Staff Photo, a wide field to the alert woman, and gives her ample scope to use her imagination and ingenuity—for both eyes and hands. There are, of course, beautiful screens, in a widely spaced price range, to be found in all the furniture shops of today. They may be had in all BY BETSY CASWELL. UST now there seems to be re- newed interest in the use of screens as part of the decorative | done in Mother Goose pictures and rhymes, and would do much to keep a child quiet in the early morning, when the rest of the family wants to sleep and the young early bird is bored to death looking at the four walls. The screen around his bed would enter- tain him perfectly. Children, as a matter of fact—the older ones—like to make their own screens and will joyously save all pic- | tures they find of animals or nursery | scenes, to be cut out and pasted on the | frame on a rainy Saturday and Sun- day. Some schoolgirls I know formed | & “Screen Club” and got together every | week end to make screens for each | other. It was a wonderful idea, as it | kept them out of mischief, did not | strain their eyes, and helped train Gain Shown In Life Span Begins Early Studies Reveal Bas of Increase Found in New Records. BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. WE ARE naturally proud of the fact that the life span of man has been doubled within the past cen- tury. What we fail to remember, sometimes, is that the man of middle age is not likely to live any longer than did the man of middle age 100 years ago. As you know, the life span has been lengthened principally because more children are saved at childbirth and during the first year of life. However, a very interesting dis- covery has been made recently that is of great importance to parents and those in charge of child welfare. Drs. Harry Bakwin, Ruth M. Bak- win and Lillian Milgram, in American Journal Diseases of Children, de- scribe some studies made to find out the relationship between retarded or slow growth and the so-called body build in young children. As you know, the results of experi- ments in feeding young animals have | been known for many years; leaving out certain articles of food and add- ing others has made great differences |in their growth and development. In their experiments with infants, these research workers made use of three large groups of infants. One ! group, from a well baby clinic, served as a control; the second and third groups were from poverty-stricken | homes. The second, however, being | under study at the clinic, were under more favorable food conditions. In addition to body weight and length, the width of the face and the girth of the chest and abdomen were meas- | ured. | At the end of the first year the | first and second groups which were | under supervision showed little dif- | ference either in body weight or in the rate of gain, whereas the third group (not supervised) showed a marked delay in gain in weight. For the first three weeks there was little if any difference between the three groups in their length or height. At the end of the year, however, the supervised groups were superior to the group that was not supervised, in that their face, chest and body |{ were bigger., in proportion to their | height, than in the unsupervised | group. | The delay in growth in the unsu- | pervised group took place only during | the first three months of life; after three months the groups were more nearly alike in their growth and de- | velopment. | Thus proper feeding during the first three months of life has much to do with the size and development of individuals and nations.

The girl started a cam- paign for a diamond ring right after Christmas, and my son insists he is going to get her one, which is absurd, considering that we are in very mod- erate circumstances, not able even to afford decent clothes or even the automobile that we keep so that he can take her out several nights a week. What can be done when son threatens to join the navy, quit school or do something equally ridiculous when he is denied anything he wants? How can we impress upon him the | necessity of his pursuing his high school course without buying this girl whatever she demands? She already has his watch as well as numerous | articles of less value. | ‘WORRIED MOTHER. \ NSWER: It seems to me that you | have 8 couple of hold-up artists | to deal with and that the thing to do is to call their bluff. The girl is hold- | ing up your son for a diamond ring | and everything else she can get out | of him by making her favor the | | price of his standing ang delivering, | and your son is holding up you and | his father by threatening to leave | school and join the navy if you don't | give him what he asks. That, inci- dentally, would be a good thing for him, for he sadly needs the discipline that he would get in the service, and to be delivered out of the hands of the little grafter for whom he has| fallen. Of course, you cannot do anything | with the girl except indirectly to block | her game, but you can certainly stop | the boy's giving her a diamond ring | by refusing to pay for it. It takes money to buy jewelry, and if you! absolutely refuse to supply it, you | automatically save your boy from his | folly, for no merchant will be silly enough to sell a school boy without | a job, a diamond ring, if he knws that his parents will not pay for it. CERTAI’NLY you will show that you | have no more sense than your | adolescent son has if you let him run | you in debt for a present you cannot afford for this girl, or if you deny the family the comforts it needs so | that he can supply her demands. | | Have a heart, but also have a back- bone in dealing with him, and don't | be moved by his raving nor by his| threats of the direful things he is| going to do.

C, THURSDAY, Dix Says teaching him early in life how little worth the price are bought kisses and | the affection that has to be continual- ly stimulated with gifts. But it is a pity that something with boiling eoil in it cannot be done to these Nttle grafting girls that prey upon young boys, who have not sense enough nor experience enough to see that they are being worked and that the girls care nothing for them per- sonally. They are interested only in what they can squeeze out of them. MANY and many a boy is turned into a thief and started on a career of crime by one of these bobbed-haired bandits. The boy is in love with her, with the mad infatua- tion of his first affair. He is making only a small salary, or none at all The girl wants pretty clothes, jewelry, automobile rides, to go to expensive places to dance, and she will smile upon a lad only as long as he can give her what she wants. He hasn't the courage to refuse her demands, so he begins pilfering from his employers or he joins a gang of crooks or takes a gun and goes out and gets it. No matter what perils a man meets with in his after life he never en- counters any danger greater than a greedy girl. For a man can be held up in his boyhood by a pair of blue eyes and roblgd of his honor and honesty and his chance of being anything worth while in life, just as much as he can be held up and robbed of his pocketbook by a pair of blue-nosed guns, when he is older. So if by re- fusing to give your son the money to buy a ring for his grasping sweetheart you can make her throw him over for some boy who is better off, you will have done him a favor that he can never repay. DOROTHY DIX. * x x X EAR DOROTHY DIX—What do | you think of the sarcastic girl who always says something that makes you wish to Heaven you were not in her presence? I mean the kind of girl who, if you pay her a compli- ment, always intimates that she sees through you and knows you are doing it in order to get some profit for your- self, and if you try to say anything | affectionate to her will return: “Oh yeah?” POP. Answer—I think the sarcastic girl cuts her throat with her own tongue. APRIL 11, 1935. Child Needs Experience With Funds Cannot Demand That He Give Up All His Own Desires. BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. ROWING children have wishes and desires as eyanescent as the winds. They want what other children have —and having got it they enjoy it while the novelty lasts. The loving and in- dulgent parent does not see that value is enhanced in any object which is hard, not easy, to get. Mrs. O. M. suffers, as do all parents, from seeing a valuable gift become meaningless. “About two years ago my 11-year-old son was very anxious to learn to play the trombone. I pur- chased the instrument for him, at a sacrifice to us, as we are in moderate circumstances. I also bought him a music stand and books. “Lasy year fillness prevented his making much progress. This year he does not want to practise, but to play out of doors. He joined the school band, but now does not go to practice unless forced. I do not want him to be a quitter, but am I wrong in making him practice? “He delivers papers and magazines and makes a little money. He often slips out a quarter for candy. He admits it when caught. I do not want him to have much candy—and do not want him to spend his money that way. What shall I do abcut this?” | It was natural, but a mistake, nevertheless, to buy an expensive musi- cal instrument until the child’s in- terest had survived a period. Had he made some personal sacrifice to buy | the instrument it would have become | of value to him. | The mistake having been made, I should ask some personal co-operation from him. His life should not be | made up entirely of school, practise and work. He does need play. But| in return for some designated play time he will repay you with some min- utes of practise daily—15, or what- | ever you decide, with a view to keep- | ing whatever knowledge he possesses intact. Next year he may be a more enthusiastic band member. Mean- | while stimulate his interest in music and musicians through books, radio | and concerts. For a self-addressed 3-cent stamped Nobody likes her. Nobody wants to be | with her. Everybody is afraid of her, apd she has in particular the worst technique in the world in dealing with men, for they stand in greater dread of her than they do of a roaring lion. DOROTHY DIX.

You can allow him | to make candy at home, or keep a supply on hand for legitimate use— | but no child learns to save or spend wisely except through the experience of spending foolishly. — Protection Of Child Is- WOMEN’S FEATURES.

The frame 1s painted with aluminum paint and the panels are covered with labels taken from dozens of wine bottles. A newspaper man was presented with a screen covered with pages from his paper containing his own writings, and a most unique wedding gift was sent a prominent young bride in the form of a screen made up of news | clippings and pictures recording her debutante activities during the previ- ous year, and ending with the ones announcing her engagement and wed- ding plans. X0 Lhioy 'HE method of procedure used in making these screens is rela- tively simple. The inspiration and the planning are the biggest parts of the job. First, buy your screen. Make up your mind what you are going to make of it. If you choose to fill the panels with scenic wallpaper, simply measure the length and width, go and buy your paper from a wallpaper shop and stick it on the panels with wallpaper paste. You might ask the advice of the man who sells it to you as to shellacking the surface after the paper is attached. Usually it is best to do this, using clear white shellac, as it serves to protect the surface, and also gives the paper a softened, mellow tone. Sometimes, however, the paper does not take kindly to the shellac, and that is why it is better to ask at the shop., If you are using cut-out pictures, cut them to fit the design and lay them on the panels without paste, first, to get the effect. Then using library paste, put a dab on each pic- ture, in the corners and in the middle, and smooth them on, one by one. The more liquid paste has a tendency to make most pictures “hump up” and is messier to use on such small pieces. When the panels are covered, and dried thoroughly, put a thin coating of white shellac over the entire sur- face. This again gives a mellow look, and further fastens the pictures to the foundation. As to the frame—paint it before or after the panels are done. Sometimes it is better to wait until after, so that you may better choose the color you wish, after seeing the gegeral effect. It is a good idea to paint the unfinished frame first with a wood filler to insure a smoother colored surface. If you wish advice on any of your own individual household Pproblems, | “DEAR MRS. POST—My new hus- | band has just been taken into | my father’s business and he thinks that this family-business situation requires a little of your advice. Does | he call my father ‘Mr. Blank’ at the office before others, or what?” Answer: In New York, at least, most men call their father-in-law “Mr.” on all occasions, and certainly in business your husband says, Blank.” An own son would sa: “father,” or call him whatever he al- ways does. “Dear Mrs. Post—Will you explain why you say that the phrase ‘pardon me’ is incorrect, yet the phrase ‘ex- cuse me’ is all right and ‘I beg your | pardon’ and ‘I'm sorry’ equally proper?” Answer: There is no answer to this | except that best usage accepts cer- : tain phrases and taboos others. Why? | I don't know. I don't know why | English is spelled as it is, either, but it is. | “Dear Mrs. Post—What is the most | fashionable way to mark linen today? | And no matter what the answer to this, would it be in very bad taste— or in bad taste at all—to use my | future husband’s own initials for the | monogram on his bedspread, as well as to mark the towels he uses in his own bath room?” Answer: The conventional mark- ing, as you doubtless know, is that of the wife’s maiden name. But at pres- ent the majority of brides have their ’lmen marked with their married ini- | tials. For example, if you are Mary Brown and are soon to be Mrs. Jones, your monogram is M. B. J. Your idea for marking things for your hus- band’s personal use is something that 1 have never heard of before, but I think it rather charming and I most willingly suggest that you have them marked like this if you want to. “Dear Mrs. Post—I am an asso- ciate justice in our State Supreme Court and would appreciate your sug- gestion for changing the engraving on our Mr. and Mrs. visiting cards. Also, for my personal cards.” Answer: Your double cards would be engraved: Associate Justice and Mrs. John W. Blank and the address in the lower right corner. On your own card your name is engraved with- | out any title, and directly underneath, in considerably smaller letters, “As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Whatever-it-is.” Also | your address in the lower right corner. (Copyright, 1935.) The Old Gardener Sflyfl : The cold-frame can be used to great advantage at this season, especially for starting annuals for the garden and early plants for the' vegetable garden. A cold-frame is easily made from four boards set on edge and cov- ered with a discarded double win- dow, although it is possible, of course, to buy a frame ready for use. Seeds can be planted about three weeks ahead of time for starting them in the open ground. In sections where the time for planting annual seeds has passed, the cold-frame may be used for starting the seeds of perennials. It may be used also for growing lettuce in the Summer. Lettuce thrives particularly well in a frame because it can be shaded from the hot sun, easily watered and protected from drying winds. Of course, no glass is needed aft- er the weather gets warm.
