Child Authority
On a Serious
Problem
BY Constance Cameron

SSEOR goodness sake quit writ
ing about children who are
little, exclaimed friend the other
day, land help me figure out what
60 do with Dorothy"
1t seems that Dorothy aged 10,
Is giving her mother intense con-
Germ because she has ceased to
respect her authority and has
stopped confiding in her to tell
her little, important secrets to
girls of her own age.
1t probably troubles every moth
er when this inevitably happens
and is the cause of heartaches
and doubts as to whether she has
done all she could to merit the
growing girls confidence.
1t Is only a perfectly natural
tendency which leads a child of
this age to believe that the opin-
ions Of companions of his age
are truer and better than those
OF his mother or other adults.
Leaders from the young group
take the place of adult leaders.
Hero worship thrives. a girl See
school youth all the attributes
Lord Byron.
These ''crushes" are transitory
as a rule and are no cause for
worry. and even though you
heartily disapprove of the young
man your daughter dreams about
constantly, allow him the freedom
of your home and the glow of
your hospitality. Against the
background of her home standards
your daughter can get quicker
and more accurate judgment of
him than by seeing him away,
where perhaps the faults you OBJ
ject to and fear are submerged.
Don't try to force condolences,
but meet them in a friendly spirit
when they are offered. Include
the adolsecent child in the family
conferences. Make him feel that
his growing ideas are OF worth
10 the family circle, as we'll as of
Importance to his younger group.
And don't center too much visible
attention upon him. He will be
awkward. perhaps shy. or perhaps
self-consciously boisterous. Best
see much and overlook much at
this period. Take it for granted
that you have, in the making, an
adult of integrity and honor in
your family who is but going
through the same change of body
and mind that you once went
through. And you weren't such
an angel always. were you?
Admit this to your child once in
q while if you would be friends
sharing the secrets of friends.

ARGENTINA
DESERT

A region in Argentina is fast
becoming a desert. An extensive
stretch of land north of the
Province of Neuquen is rapidly
drying up, and rivers and springs
are disappearing. Great dust
storms are sweeping over the
country at times and sand dunes
form quickly and engulf the few
remaining pastoral areas. The
territory was once well popu-
lated by the Indians, but they
have been driven away. A var
ley. where formerly there were
1000 cattlemen. now contains only
a few hundred.
After ten years of hard work

graphic expert, has discovered

FOR TENNIS
PLAYERS

A training machine has been in
vented for tennis players. The
device looks like a blackboard on
a wooden horse. There are nets
above and below to capture wild
shots. The board has white line
to represent the net, above which
are arcs and harizontal lines. Be
genners try to get the ball ever
the net, while advanced players
perfect their accuracy by shooting
at certain ares ar between two
upright lines. The board re-
turns all well-hit balls. The prac-

An Unnecessary Gift
DEAR MRS REECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
One of my employers Is being
married soon and is going to
Europe on his honeymoon. He
has been very thoughtful to me
always and often takes me out
to dinner. What would be
suitable wedding gift? Shall I
send it to his fiancee or to
him? l earn a good salary and
would like to get something very
nice. II. NJ.
This kind of gift is. to my way
of thinking, most inappropriate
and unnecessary. / think that it
shows much better taste not to
give such a gift than to give it.
But IL you do give it, it, should
be sent to the bride.to-be. at her
home. Enclose your card. If you
do send a gift. it should be some
thing rather impersonal and. of

Smart Semi Tailored FrOck
The Washington Times 15c Practical Pattern

This semi-tailored frock for
street wear during fall, has UNI
usually chic lines, and particu-
larly slenderizing lines. A coat
effect is created by the clever
closing buttoned above and be-
low the belt. There is a long
rolled collar of mannish effect.
Note the smart manner of cross
ing the vestee.
Jersey, light weight tweed or
rep would be extremely chic for
this model and combines beau
tifully with satin or crepe. In
brown or beige or a mixture,
beige satin may be employed
for vestee and skirt pleat. A
leather belt adds a final touch
of smartness.
May be obtained in sizes Sc
to 48. Size 36 requires 2 ia
yards of 54-inch material and
u yard trimming.
This model is easy to make if
you use this pattern which is
individually hand-cut. A per-
feet fit in every size is guar
anteed.
Patterns will be delivered to
any address upon receipt Of l5c
in coins. Always mention size

FRANCO-AMER|CAN
TREATY IS SUCCESS
Nations Win Sign Pact With
Clause Against War
Here Monday.

BY the Assorlatcd Fffss
Negotiations for a new Franco-Amer
ican treaty of arbitration have been
successful and the document. including
a declaration against war as an instru-
ment Of national policy. will Re signed

The new pact will substitute for the

tween this and other foreign countries.
Declaration Against War.
The preamble OF the treaty contains
the declaration against war. an express
sion of hope that eventually all gov
ermnets will abandon armed conflict In
favor of peaceful settlement OF all dis
putes. Under the treaty. however.
should controversy arise between
France and the United States that fails
OF diplomatic treatment. the arbitra-
ton formula must be approved by the
American Senate.
In addition. the agreement bars from
arbitration any disputes concerning
purely domestic affairs. involving the
interests Of their party or the Monroe
Doctrine.
The new treaty will interlock with
the Bryan Cancellation pact between
the two countries many of which bind
the United States and foreign countries
to efforts toward peaceful termination
OF mutual problems. In the case of
France the Bryan treaty, which Is
effective until denounced by either
signatory. stipulates that neither will
declare war until a year after concilia-
tors have failed 20 reach an adjustment,

ITALY NEAR BREAK
WITH JUCOSLAyS

BELGRADE. February 2.-Italo-Jugo-
slav relations are entering new phase
of severe strain as a result Of the pro-
longation OF the present treaty between
Belgrade and Rome from January %
to July %.
During this time Jugoslavia Is ex-
pected by Italy TO ratify the 'nettuno
conventions" under penalty Of the sey-
erance OF relations when the six
months probation is up.
Since the nettuno conventions are a
series mostly OF commercial instruments
signed by ex-Foreign Minister Mint
chitch conceding various rights In Dali
malta to Italy, 1t Is unlikely In view OF
the present infamed state Of opinion
In Belgrade that the Jugoslay Parlia-
ment will ratify them.
1T is not really necessary TO be
friendly with country II no real proof
of friendship exists" said an Italian
official He indicated that II the Jugo-
slavs refuse to comply with the con-
tinually increasing Italian demands,
then q rupture at the end OF six months
Is inevitable.
Extension OF the present treaty to al
low consideration of the nettuno con-
ventions was only achieved by Foreign
Minister Marinkovitch OF Jugoslavia
by conceding 10 Italy several minor
points In relation TO the rights OF Ital-
ian schools in Dalmatia.
The Jugoslavs think the Italians.
having taken Albania bag and baggage.
are now turning northward to the Dali
matian coast.
The Jugoslays are resolute In their de-
termination not to concede anything
more. although Foreign Minister Ma
rinkovitch by a conciliatory policy has
been striving to avert the long -impend-
ing open break
M. Marinkoyitch's hands have been
tied In the past few days by internal
politics and dissension within his party.
He Is accused OF being too conciliatory
and the Jugoslav parties. though hope
lessIy divided on most internal issues,
stand together unanimously on foreign
policy. II Is fear and hatred OF Italy
which dominates all other issues and
his fear Is having a real result IN unit
ing Jugoslavia In solid front against
italy when domestic troubles are Tor
gotten.

gardens as the people paid their final
tribute before Lindhergh retired to res;

tribute Lindbergh replied briefly, ex-
pressing his thanks.
At a special meeting OF the Free
Magons Lodge In Lindbergh's honor he
vas presented with a silver Masonic
