Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Some of the most frequent queries
which come to this department are:
Exhibit 1, How shall break my 2-year
old of wanting a pacifier at night? He
was given this when small baby and
now cries so that don't know how to
take it away from him?" Exhibit 2, II
have been rocking the baby at night
and now would like to train her to sleep
without rocking; how can I do this, as
she cries so the neighbors think 1 am
killing her?" Exhibit 3, I'VE used to
put Claude at the table when he was
baby and give him something from it.
Now he wants to come to the table at
each meal and screams If he can't have
what he sees there"
These are all real queries, and you
know how universal they I've. The dis
couraging part of them is mat they are
all avoidable. They are due to momentary
weaknesses on the part of mother or
father, anxiety to pacify the baby when
one is too tired to get up at night and
attend to him, or find out why he
wakens at night; ambition to show him
off at the table and amuse him, or the
mothers very natural desire to cuddle
her baby, thing of which we approve
heartily at the right times, and not
when child is going to bed, or ready
to take nap.
You see there Is really no excuse for
starting anything which later has to be
stopped, because, as in the second case,
it interferes with the child'S ability to
go to bed and 60 to sleep quietly, with
out excitement or rocking, or because
with the pacifier 1t starts habit which
has to be broken in order to insure a
good row of straight teeth. And the
road to breaking a bad habit Is never,
tricks very easily, but once they are
learned they are difficult to eradicate,
and so what was merely harmless play"
to the mother becomes really serious
thing, which prevents the child becom-
ing the independent person he should
be. For no person is independent who
is the slave of any habit. If a child
can't lie down and sleep as nature in
tended without being shaken into in
sensibility; if he can't accept the food
that is given him without crying and
shrieking for the ones he should not
have; if he can't get along without
something in his mouth, but must spend
his time sucking at anything, rag, bottle,
pacifier, or whatnot, he is hampered
individual.
We know the most charming baby,
who sleeps like a little top and wakens
like a clock for his IL o'clock feeding
His young parents are so proud of him
that when there is company they carry
out their darling son to show him of.
1T won't hurt him, he'll go right back
to Sleep" Yes, perhaps today and to-
morrow, but when he Is older and sleeps
less, this may become a most annoying
habit. And who. ask you, Is to blame
for it? don't need to tell you the an

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, october TO-
Interior decoration in the movie colony

turesoue exterior and the weird exte-
rior, the spot where type architecture

Hoot Gibson gives over a wall of his

To the mere onlooker this may be

saying art as he sees it.

David Warfield is among those gods
of the theater who have condescended
to recognize that jade called movie, -
now that she is welded to sound. The
Warf1eld voice promises to be as great
an attraction in its way as George

But Feodor Chaliapin, faced with a
dizzy offer, refuses with dignity-and
considerable foresight. When tone eff

betting on Chaliapin to sign inland
for considerable more than the first
offer.
The genius Of Kazan, Russia, is sure
of his vocal supremacy among bassos.
They will still want Chaliapin when the
