Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. S. B. writes: "Will you please
help me as you have so many others?
L have a little girl nearly and I
am having a hard time trying to
make her understand that she must
let her small brother, 16 months old.
share her playthings. The toys can
remain in the bedroom all day and
she will never touch them, but as
soon as he goes near them. she be.
gins to cry and fret, and pushes him
down and slaps him. in order to get
the toys away from him.
L have tried talking to her, but
she refuses to listen. / have whipped
her and put her to bed. | have made
her sit on a chair and watch him
play with them, and though I con.
quer her for that particular time, this
does not cure her permanently. In a
short time have it to go all through
with again. This occurs a dozen times
= day, and it gets on my nerves so
that L feel tit to fly. Can you tell me
some way to change her attitude to-
ward him?''
Answer.-You are trying to teach
your little girl to be unselfiSh, and
instead you are teaching her that she
has no rights to the possessions YOU
have given her and told her were
hers. While the unselfish principle is
right, your method is wrong, and if
your little girl finally gives up the
fight to keep her possessions inviolate.
she will inevitably lose all interest in
them. For what belongs to every
one belongs to no one"
Each person must learn the mine
and thine theory when small This
theory grants each person some pos
sessions, which belongs to him alone,
and which no one else has a right
to take, except at his pleasure This
theory you are completely disregard
ing in the case of the smaller child
and YOU are telling him that he can
take sisters belongings with impuni-
ty, and if she makes a fuss it is be-
cause she is a selfish, naughty girl.
Instead you should teach the small
boy that unless his sister, out of the
kindness of her heart, allows him to
play with her toys, he has no right
TO them and must play with his own.
Each child should be provided with
his and her own playthings, each
should keep them separately, and
should not be compelled to let others
play with them.
out of this arrangement will grow
the larger one OF give and take. The
small boy may magnanimously allow
his sister to play with one of his
toys. She, not to be outdone, will
share one of hers. In this way the girl
will derive a real pleasure from lend
ing one of her toys, and will under
stand, from her own pleasurable emo.
tIonS, that 1t is a pleasant thing to
let others share her toys. She will
never learn it by being forced to give
up her things. She will only think
that you are discriminating against
her in favor of her small brother,
which YOU are doing, in a way. though
1 understand your feelings in the mat
ter.

various services before sending them
off. Already we have seen the sort Of
messages that naturally belong to the
transit letter class. Persons do not
consider using Nany of the various
gram services when either the tele
phone or the postal service can be
used just as well-if not better. 1t
may be helpful to consider the ef-
ficiency and comparative value eco
nomically and in the matter of time
between the other services.
For speed in communication where
once a party is on the line there Ss.
nothing comparable to the telephone.
Because of this the busy housewife is
apt to rush to the phone whenever
she wants to get in touch with a
friend or put in an order at a shop.
But the time it often takes to get
numbers, especially where there is
difficulty in getting the right party,
must be taken into consideration. 1t
not infrequently happens that the
time used thus plus the time spent
in conversing is equal to, if not above
that which would have been used in
writing. 1t requires some time to
telephone, just as it takes some to
write.
Quick Replies.
When an immediate reply is re-
quired the telephone is the best me-
dunn. For its purpose there is moth
ing comparable to the telephone, but
TO use it to the exclusion of other
services taxes the telephone service
and diminishes our mediums or COM
munication seriously.
Invitations.
The advantages of the postal service
are several when used correctly. For
instance, it is more complimentary to
send written note than to give an in
vitation over the phone. Moreover,

the time or the place is not definitely
remembered.
Accuracy Assured.
There is an accuracy about written
messages that is lacking in those given
over the phone Not only. do persons
often misunderstood a message. but
when other things press upon the at
tention the details are forgotten. Con-
troverSieS are averted and serious
trouble prevented by having things
set down lin black and white" Busi-
ness men often find it wise to have
telephone communications of import
anCe verified in writing for these very
reasons.
Limited Service.
When a telephone service is limited
as is apt to occur in city phone serv-
ice. extra calls are found to mount up
decidedly. The service is estimated on
a certain sum per call, and extra calls.
while at a minimum cost. are calcu-
lated and also overtime call charges.
The use of postal would save money.
and it takes scarcely any more time
to write than to deliver the message

extra postage is required.
Minimizing Budget.
To minimize the communication
budget, therefore. it will be seen that
both the telephone and the postal serv-
ices should be used. In giving orders

task, the port card method is excel

NASH SALES At

The biggest year in the history OF
the Nash Motors Company was 1925.

In this connection, 1t is pointed

from September to December 81
last, when Nash sales exceeded by
1873 per cent sales for the same pc
riod last year.
Officials of the Nash Motors Com

other sales record will be established
by Nash in 1927. New models, just
introduced by the company and
shown for the first time at the New

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Duplicat.

and other European capitals, where

Show. Thirty per cent more people
passed through the doors on the

Second only to the actual interest

New 1.3 Litre Car" which has
been blazoned before the New York
public in introducing the Erskine

From the opening hour Of the

to obtain a glimpse of this little
aristocrat of motordom.

CARE
IS URGED

That heavy automobile deprecia.
ton is brought about in no small
measure through motorists failing
to maintain the outward appearance
Of their cars. Is pointed out by
Morris Weeks, foreman Of the paint
and trim division of the Washington
Cadillac Company's maintenance de.
paftment.
Mr.. Weeks states that the proper
procedure in finish" maintenance
Is for the owner to care for the little
rough spots which appear on the
surface from daily usage. He is of
the opinion that the average motor.
list can keep his car looking well at
all times by constantly watching for
places where the finish has been
rubbed off. and having those places
refinished by q competent specialist.
Many owners make the mistake. .
says Mr.. Weeks, "of letting the
cars finish go until the complete
refinishing job is necessary. This
Is a mistake. because. by proper
care the original finish can be made
to last far longer than one might
expect. Skillful retouching here and
there, where rubbing of one kind or
another has been unusually heavy.
can make the whole car look newer
and better and, what is more. this
work actually protects the inner
structure of the machine.
"In addition. this procedure keeps
an automobile looking its best at ali
times. Naturally. depreciation is cut
to considerable degree"
No owner. Mr.. Weeks points out.
likes to have his car keep a shabby
appearance and. he adds. under mod
ern methods there is no occasion
for such a condition. The cost Of
maintaining the finish is amazingly
moderate. he says, and the work
itself is of such a nature that the
motorist need not give up his means
