BEDTIME had come and gone and still Jackie, aged 3':, was cry- ing and protesting. He did not want | his supper. He did not want to be undressed. He did not want to sleep. No, he did not want daddy to carry him to bed. No, no, he didn't want to do anything whatsoever, nohow, no place, never. “He is tired to death,” said his mother. “I'll just have to take him and put him to bed, whether he likes it or not." Gathering him up in her arms she disappeared with him in the direction of the bath room. From | there came sounds of battle. After that tears and pleadings. Turn on' the big light. Stay with me.

First he com- | plained, but mother sang on in the | same sleepy voice, in a gentle up-and- | down rhythm. The complainings grew fewer. Finally there was silence. | Shortly after the quiet fell on the household mother returned to the | waiting family. i *“He is asleep. I blame myself for the whole thing. It was a bcauurulJ day and I wanted him to get as much of the fresh air and sunshine as he couid so I put him out earlier than | wsual.

It is| possible for little children who are energized by strong nervous impulses | to continue playing after they are fa- tigued. When this happens, and it is likely to happen to any littie active | child, and also to the overactive ado- lescent, the nerves that should reg- Ister fatigue are too tired to work. The children go until they collapse. | It is this overstrain that makes children have tantrums at bedtime. It is this exhaustion of reserve energy | by adolescent children that brings on nervous illness, indigestion, bad tem- per, poor work. Each child has his limitation and when that has been reached he must rest or suffer ills that are hard to endure and that are likely to be long lasting. Guard the little ones against their own eager desire to keep on going. Protect the adoles- cents by insisting upon careful atten- tion to rest hours, recreation periods, health habits. They do not know when they are tired. My Neighbor Says: When transplanting phlox group each ecolor with plenty of white varieties, separating the brighter colored plants.

BY ELSIE PIERCE. ‘GLORIA STUART, talented young actress, has a complexion zo flawless and lovely that it might well |be the envy of any woman. And should you ask her to what she at- tributes the preservation of her nat- urally beautiful skin she will answer quite frankly “to unceasing vigilance.” Here’s what she had to say about it: “I don't believe in a complicated re- | gime when it comes to caring for my | complexion.

Procrastina- | tion has been the undoing of many a woman’s good looks.” One of the fundamental beauty rules in the matter of skin care is: Re- move make-up and cleanse the skin thoroughly before retiring. It takes just a few minutes and if you make it a habit you will avoid such skin ills as blackheads, eruntions and large pore. that often result from improper cleansing. Miss Stuart believes that ofls are best for cleansing for most fair skin: | Her choice is a mixture of half mine and half elive oil. The skin does nc absorb the mineral oil and so it clean | thoroughly while the olive oil is soft- {ening and nourishing. Without re- moving the oil, she makes & good lather of oatmeal soap, rubs it on BARBARA BELL, WASHINGTON STAR. and lets it dry for a few minutes, then | rinses with warm water. By this time | her face is rosy and tingling. Nex: | she spreads on a liberal coating of | cucumber emulsion which has a cool- | ing and softening effect and is also | & mild bleach. She says, “For my own use I have never felt the need of astringents. An occasional rinse with iced water is refreshing and acts as a tonic. Neither do I find a foundation cream necessary. And in making up I am always careful to powder over lip rouge, for the bold lines display ¥ some types are not very becomi | to me.” * ook % If you are in doubt about the parti- cular treatment you need, or you: type of skin, send a self-addressed stamped (3-cent) envelope for m: | bulletin called “How to Tell Your | Skin and Wthat to Do About It.” j (Copyright, 1936.)

(Coprright, 1086.) 4 Within are three items all contain- ing a foundation of pure olive oil. First, there is the beach tan oil, de- veloped after considerable investiga- tion, and containing virgin olive oil. It is delicately perfumed so that it is decidedly more pleasant to use than ordinary sun oil, and its smooth spreading quality is also an advan- tage. The other ‘two items are castile soap and a small bottle of castile shampoo, just the very things you will need for a week at camp or the beach. There’s nothing better under the sun than olive oil, and here you have it in all three items put up in such compact form that it is easily tucked into the beach bag. The shampoo will take the salt water out of your hair, leaving it soft and fluffy, and your permanent easy to set. The castile soap replaces the natural oild that the sun dries out of your skin, and promotes an even coat of tan. You are always safe with olive oil, and 35 cents in- vested in this little kit will repay you many times, For the stay at home there is a new gadget for the dressing table. It’s one of those space savers that we are all so enthusiastic about these days. Here is a combination powder jar and atomizer that has a double- barreled appeal for the woman whose boudoir space is limited. The bottle part of the atomizer is concealed in the cover, leaving ample room for the powder in the jar. This attractive round container comes in a choice qf pastel colors to match any color scheme. The Old Garlener Says: Hostas, formerly known as fun- kias, will endure more shade than any other perennials with worth- while flowers. Sometimes the plants are called plantain lilies and sometimes day lilies, al- though the latter name is likely to cause confusion with the hem- erocallis. Probably the white species, Hosta plantaginea gran- difiora, is the best, its fine white flowers being exceedingly fra- grant. However, the smalier- leaved plantain lilies, with nar- rower foliage and light graceful sprays of much smaller lilac flow- ers, stand the sun better. All the species need frequent division, as they form thick, heavy crowns that push upward until the whole upper surface of the root system is' exposed to frost. This makes it necessary to plant them deeper than most perennials, with five or six inches of rich, light soil over the crowns. They grow best in a rich, deep soil with copious supplies of water. (Copyright, 1936.) BY HARRIET FRENCH. | I HAD known, as the rest of the country does, about this remark- able senior Senator from Pennsyl- vania, who had worked his way up from a steel mill worker. While waiting to be called into the Senator’s private office, I felt the need of my mirror and lipstick. Sud- denly I saw in the mirror a short, sturdy, dark-eyed man coming to- ward me. It was Senator Davis! I was impressed by his big, dark eyes, heavy brows and gray hair and his apparent physical strength. He started right in telling me how he used to make “puddlers’ mulligan stew” with his fellow workers in the steel mills at Pittsburgh in his younger days. “Every puddler knows mulligan stew,” said the Senator, “and we used to say ‘a good mulligan every day is the stuff that puts hair on the chest. “To make it, we used & wash boiler, nearly filled with water. A 10-pound soup bone was added, with the meat cut off the bone in cubes. We put in canned tomatoes, canned beans, peas and in fact, every kind of vegetable that we could get, and cooked them all together until the meat was tender. The lofiger it was cooked the more flavor it had. “It was an excellent food, contain- ing all the vitamins and was a whole meal in itself. We served it in big bowls, if we had them, if not, we used the dinner buckets or cans that had contained the vegetables. “Mulligan is a good food, particu- larly for men working under extreme heat conditions, as in the steel mills. These men cannot resist the tempta- tion to drink cold water, which checks perspiration, but they must sweat. Men ‘cramp’ in the mills if they drink too much ice water, and mills cannot be air conditioned because that, too, stops perspiring. The men become ‘stoved-up’ or crippled if they work in the heat and do not perspire. A mulligan stew warms the stomach and makes them perspire. It prevents also ‘prickly heat.’ A rash will break out all over the body from overheating if the stomach is not warm, t0o.” I thought what an excellent op- portunity it was to find out from this interesting Senator, who had been & puddler, just what these men did— these men who worked in great, rum- bling, hissing, roaring mills where the heat is so great as to blister the very souls of the average man. And he had earned the right tc sit on the “A puddler is the finest of all steel workers in the day of hard and skilled labor—a refiner of iron, he takes the dross from the pig metal. He is his own boss and very independent. He is given his furnace, which he watches and cares for as much as his own family, because his livelihood depends upon it. “If the weather is too hot to work the puddler lowers his dampers and goes home. No one questions that. My father said he never saw his boss except when he came around to ask how he was getting along or how his boys were. “A puddler is a skilled man who may not be able to read or write, but he can look at iron and tell if it is in the proper condition to be worked. If it is gray it is hard to work, and if it is white it is easy to work. The puddler knows that if he lowers his damper one link too much he will spoil his heat. It is his own re- sponsibility.” I thought, as the interview ended, that truly these were “Men of Iron.” (Copyright, 1938, Cook’s Corner BY MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE. DINNER. Corn and Tomatoes.

She says: “Motherhood is the only profession for which no preparation is expected or required. The problem child usu- ally comes from & problem home where there is & problem mother. The problem mother is a formidable factor in social wastage. Mistakes made in a child's upbringing in the first years of his life often lead to warped and human relationship he may ever make. The only cure for all of this is a trained intelligent preparation for motherhood.” A school for mothers! It's a grand won't be plugging for its success. ¢4 there was ever anything that filled a longfelt want, it is this. For what the world needs more than anything else, what it always has needed and always will need, is good mothers. I there is any one who can teach women to bring up their children to be fine men and women, instead of rotters and hoodlums, she should be given the Congressional Medal for dis- tinguished services to her country or deified or something. ANYWAY. it is & step forward in recognizing that motherhood is a career that requires scientific train- ing in order to be practiced success- fully, instead of an odd job that any little nitwit of & girl can turn out when she isn’t going to cocktail par- ties, or playing bridge, or taking part in a golf tournament, or stepping out to night clubs, or what do you? Good is bound to come of facing the fact that at least as much thought, effort and intelligence should be given to preparing onesself to shape the des- tiny of & human being as to now to give a permanent or pound a type- writer. © The trouble has always been that we have held to the theory that there is something occult and mysterious about motherhood and that when a woman has a baby, no matter how brainless and flighty she is, some miracle occurs that gives her wisdom and strength and insight to rear it. «“Mother knows best” is the slogan we use to enslave children to tyrants and fools. Worse still, this idiotic idea that every mother has an intuitive knowledge and understanding of her children and knows by instinct how to guide them makes men turn over the rearing of their youngsters to women whose judgment they would slices. This is & tasty meat to serve sandwiches. not trust in sny other matter in the ,l‘ twisted personalities, deforming every | idea and there isn't one of us who, FAMOUS woman psychologist | has just established a school OW we have fallen for this popular | soluble mysteries of life. For, in reality, change a woman's character one iota. head, nor make a stupid woman intelli- gent, nor a frivolous one wise. Bearing a child does not even make a woman a mother save in a physical sense. It does not give her a mother heart. There are thousands of women who have not a single mother impulse, who haven't even an animal instinct for their children and to whom their off: spring are always brats and nuisances. | just as there are other women who never have a child who are all mother. Women who are deliberately bad mothers are few, however. Most women adore their children and are willing to make any sacrifice for them, and it is the tragedy of motherhood that so | often the women who are trying to be | the best mothers are the worst. They | sin through ignorance and not intent, | but the results are none the less disas- | trous for that. DOROTHY DIX.
