Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

From the time a child is three
months old, his toys become more
than noise makers and objects for
grasping, and play a definite part in
his mental development. If at three
or four months a child is not holding
out his hand for toy that is thrust
before his eyes, or recognizing that
the noise of his rattle is not the same
as the noise of his mothers voice.
we feel that he is backward in his
development.
When the baby is old enough to
sit on the floor he will have toys suit
able to HIM and blocks are exactly
right for this period. To parent the
thing" to keep the child busy and
happy. To the child they open up
whole new world of thought. They
feel different from his rattle. He
picks up a box and in his fingers it
has the same feel" as his blocks,
and soon he comes to know this feel
ing as square.
When the baby places his blocks
one on top of the other in an aWk-
ward effort to make a house, don't
take the blocks out of his hand and
try to help him. He, won't learn by
watching you. He learns only by
doing, and though it inks a mother to
watch a baby try and fail, this is
his only method of learning to be
successful.
We know so many persons in this
world who start out with the fine
ideas which they never carry to com.
pletion, and opposed to them the per-
son whose ideas are not so brilliant,
but who goes straight through with
them and accomplishes something.
Perhaps parents may be directly to
blame for the childs lack of ability
to carry through. There is a sense
Of satisfaction to be gained by COM
pleted task which some children are
never allowed to experience. A
mother drags them from what she
considers to be only play, when in
glorious trial upon which his whole
mind was fastened.
He saw in his sand home scheme
for development as ambitious as
home owners. The rusty can he
buries so gravely in the front yard
and surrounds with green weeds has,
to his mind, an exact resemblance to
a sunken, f1ower-fringed pool And
then his mother yells: Jimmy
run over to the grocery and get
mother can of baking powder, right
this minute" Jimmy goes, perhaps
after much pleading. but he never
comes back and finishes his estate
in the sand. All the fine fancy has
been destroyed and he can't imagine
how he felt before. The sunken pool
is just rusty can after all, and the
flowers brown, limp weeds
No wonder, when Jimmy grows up,
he has fine ideas which never como
to anything. He learned early in life
to switch his interests and he has
never been allowed to experience the
fine glow of satisfaction which comes
from a completed task.
So toys are not just amusements.
Games are not all fun. They have
their real place in teaching the child
and in giving him an actual training
for the business of living.

Personal and Individual Stockings
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Many women here and abroad cling
to nude tones for evening, but the
nude that is chosen for evening is
Of roster. softer cast than that for
daytime.
Stockings of gray and especially
gunmetal are less gray when worn
than when seen over the counter,
for almost always they are of such
thin silk that the flesh tones show
through. Mrs. Coolidge sponsors
white stockings for wear with white
shoes and frocks. but there are GER
tain other well dressed women who
prefer the effect of nude stockings
with the white ensemble.
Printed chiffon in rather small
floral design remains a favorite for
the practical, allround daytime
frock this Summer. Mrs. Lindbergh,
mother OF Col. Charles Lindbergh,
chose a frock Of this sort to wear at
one or two notable occasions during
her sons reception in New York
and Washington.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday. July 10.

After many threatening days, to-
morrow is one of great promise, ac-
cordlng to the reading of the stars.
Astrologers advise the pushing for
ward of all important matters.
There is a benefic aspect that is be-
lieved to give assurance to all who
carry heavy responsibilities, making
them clear of vision and able to make
quick decisions.
This should be an suspicious rule
for all who seek political favor or
financial support.
Bankers and all who make big in
vestments are subject to the best
direction Of the stars while this con-
figuration prevails, the seers declare
Whatever pertains to agriculture
should benefit from certain world con-
ditions, in which financiers neces-
sarily must play an important part.
Farmers and all who deal in food
stuffs will profit greatly, while con-
sumers will find fault, it is forecast.
Legislators as well as Federal Off
Gals may suffer loss of popularity
under this sway Of the stars
The rule appears to foreshadow
for merchants and manufacturers
great gains, but there will be victims
to the quickly made fortunes.
New leaders certainly will be rec
ognized before many months have
passed, it is foretold, for there will be
great opportunities to prove personal
power.
The stars that encourage dictators
abroad will have an influence that
places power within the reach of Ger.
tain men and women, too, in America,
the seerS announce.
A special session of Congress or of
legislature in one of the larger
States is foreseen by astrologers.
Persons whose birth date it is may
find this year a turning point that
leads upward.
Children born on that day probably
will have qualities that win respect
and confidence. Many boys born
under this sign become prominent in
politics.

OKLAHOMA AT IT AGAIN

Every so often Oklahoma, pretty much of youngs
ter states has to break the traces and center
the national spotlight upon itself through taking its
politics so seriously.
1t is only few years back that Jack Walton gov
ernor of the state, went the warpath and kept
things in turmoil until he finally found himself
the outside looking in.
Now Oklahoma is enjoying another political ruckus.
The governor and his legislature having splendid
family with all the charges and counter charges,
that usually break out in squabbe of this sort. The
governor, holding aces, calls out the Oklahoma army
and with its aid prevents the duly elected legislature
from functioning.
Not whit abashed, the legislature tells the gov
he have his little old capitol then HE them
selves to convenient hotel assemble in rtgular
sion and retaate upon the governor by impeaching
him and several other high officials of the state.
In of the staid commonwealths of the
country it would be serious matter for governor and
and legislature to get mixed up the point where the
militia has to be called in Cor out) but is sup
posed to take it seriously when Oklahoma politicians
erupt 1t has to happen every often there would
be no "kick" in Oklahoma politics. And your dyed-in-
the-woo Southern politician just naturally must have
his kick.
If the Oklahoma legislature feels badly about being
kicked out of its quarters it thank its stars that
there is not lady governor in the chair Imagine get
ting bounced from the capitol by woman,
