MOTHERS who take their children
on long journeys find it a trying
task and are always thoroughly tired
before they reach their destination
Much as they love it. children are
often greatly upset by railroad travel
The noise. the rapid movement before
their eyes. the strain on the attention.
the confinement in a small space. all
combine to tire them out completely.
The night after the journey they are
wakeful and often for several days suf-
fer from the effects of the trip.
Much of this i'll effect can be pre-
vented by rational precautions Chill
dren should not be compelled to re-
main sitting all the time, but should
be allowed to stand and move about
as much as possible. Let them lie
down with a folded shawl or soft pillow
under their heads if they show signs
of sleepiness. Do not allow them to
look out of the window for long
stretches of time; their little brains
cannot stand the strain and are sure
to ache badly, making very cross chill
dren.

THE next time the children have a
party try amusing the youngsters
by playing the hfeboat game. Get a
big cotton sheet and on it roughly
paint a huge lifeboat manned by s.
ors in tarpaulins. welding oars with
vigor- The boat may be bright green
with red lines and the oars red. Make
big waves of green and use pale yell
low for foam breakers.
1t does not take an artist for such
work. Be as crude as you like you
get the shape of a boat and man.
From stiff white paper or heavy wa
ter color paper draw all sorts of queer
hgures-men. women. children and
animals. household goods and trunks
Paint with water colors and when dry
cut out each figure with sharp scissors.
Over the side of the lifeboats have
a bending figure with hands outstretch-
ed as If to lift in passengers. Between
the hands draw red cross as the point
of safety.
