terested in verbs, small children
will sometimes hold on with great
tenacity to an adjective. One
small girl or my acquaintance
used the word white for two
days, pointing with a tiny finger
to everything In sight which was
white. We didn't know there
were so many white things in
the world until she started
classifying them,
Then, later in her mental devel-
opment she pounced upon the
word comb. 2 Her hair was
combed. The grass was combed
with a rake. the living room was
combed with broom. After she
had had her fill of telling US
about the various things which
were "combed" we started easily

You can frequently see in print
''cute sayings OF children, and
II you read these amusing anec-
dotes carefully from the stand
point OF WHY children said the
things, you can learn a great
deal about a certain phase Of
child development.
I'm not going to say that you
should not read them. I'm not
going to tell You that you should
discourage Johnny and Mary In

Nearly all the anecdotes reveal
a child at the age when he Is

Five minutes later he pranced

one to her, he demanded: Mother.

For days the word 'unbutton" oc-

he wanted the covers turned down.
She "unbuttoned" the clothes

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Nov. 9-(P)-Assessing the effect Of
the tidal wave which has swept him
into the presidency, Herbert Hoover
finds that victory has brought him
new problems quite apart from those
he must shoulder as the chief ex-
ecutive.
These are political in character,
and as the head Of his party the de-
cision as TO dealing with them rests
with him. Foremost among them i
the future organization in the south
ern states, involving extensive ex-
ransion and some realignments south
Of the Mason and Dixon line.
The president-elec has been fully
aware Of the factors contributing TO
the political revolution there-a rev.

Is " did the country as a whole.
However, latest returns show that IN
some OF the states which threw their

Of his own party IN districts which

cratic.
