p. Petit. an enterprising indie

the select trade OF Dupont Circle

The battery and tubes are beside

Dale Defends
$1,000 Annuity|
Pension Plan

The Senate civil service retirement
bill, creating a maximum annuity OF
1000 and allowing optional retire
ment after 80 years of service, at age
limits two years lower than in the
present law was defended today IN a
report submitted to the Senate by
Senator Dale. chairman of the Senate
Civil Service Committee,
The total additional cost to the
Federal Government involved. ac-
cording to the Board OF Actuaries, is
s., S97, 900, half of which will be liqui-
dated by the Federal employees them.
selves after a period Of % years.
The bill is more conservative than
the Lehlbach measure, now before
the House, inasmuch as 1t does not
provide for automatic retirement
after 80 years Of service, when the
Federal employee reaches the age OF
so years.
Senator Dale said today that in his
view the new bill is a much-needed
amendment to the existing retire
ment act He pointed out that the
age limits In the measure provided
are higher than those In similar
laws in the leading nations Of Europe
and i'm many Of the States and cities
Of the United states.
The raising of the maximum an
nuity from $1,000 to 81, 200 Is the
vital feature of the bill. The measure
has been under consideration by the
Senate Civil Service Committee for
several months. and Senator Dale is
hopeful of action upon it in the near
future.

Behavior Patterns.

Junior is nervous and irritable and

same" or father is just the same" or
his grandmother Is just the same" ]
have this written to me very often.
Now there Is no doubt that unde-
sirable character tendencies Gas well as
desirable) can be inherited, and there
is no doubt that undernourishment and
other physical disorders will produce
them. But there is no doubt. also. that
there are two other very important
factors in the production of undesirable
traits in babyhood and childhood which
may extend throughout life: and these
other factors I want you, mothers and
fathers, to give more attention to.
They are these: l. The behavior
pattern which you allow the baby to
develop, and, 2, the behavior pattern
you yourselves present to the child.
Mothers and fathers should think as
much about these as they do Of the
health and comfort of the baby.
The first pattern: Does the baby find
that by crying Justify enough he will
be taken up? He Is too young to be
taught anything? You must wait until
he Is older? Be careful OF that. The
day you think he Is old enough to be
taught you may find that bad habits
are already part Of his makeup.
AS he grove older has he found that
tantrums, screaming. rolling on the
floor. and such didos bring him what
he wants after his requests have been
refuseda He has established a pattern
now of behavior which he Is smart
enough to use whenever his wishes are
opposed.
Now, II In the beginning. he finds
that he can't have his way after bad
behavior, but that he can by good
behavior, he Is going to get a desirable
pattern OF behavior instead of an unde-
sIrable one.
The second pattern: Not only are bad
patterns OF behavior formed by his
methods of getting his wishes. but they
are also formed by the habits Of those
around him. For child is q great
imitator. His likes and dislikes, his
ambitions and tastes. which In later
years become chrystallized into character
traits, are nodded to q great extent by
those around him. He can learn to be
nervous and panicky In the presence OF
an emergency, or he can learn calmness

twig Is bent the tree Is inclined.

Decoration day often marks the OPEN
ing of the picnic season for lovers of
that form of recreation. Usually the
weather is warm enough to make out
door eating very pleasurable and COM
Portable. The question of what to eat
depends largely on the place where the
picnic is to be held II 1t Is at the beach.
it is usually good plan to depend on
fire and plan to cook steak or crops,
frankfurters, etc, over the fire. The
fire has the added advantage OF making
1t very easy to dispose Of any trash left
over.
However, automobile picnics are even
more popular than beach affairs, in
which case any hot food that is used
must necessarily be carried along in
thermos jars, as 1t is seldom good plan
to build fire in the woods at this time
Of year.
A good menu for the holiday-one
that has bene tried and found popular
includes fried chicken, bread and butter
sandwiches, sweet pickles and olives, to-
mato and lettuce sandwiches, fresh
strawberries, little cakes and hot cof-
fee. II fire is to be had steak cut in
thin strips, broiled and served on slices
Of bread takes the place of the fried
chicken.
Small broilers cut In four pieces for
easy eating are fried and when cold
wrapped in heavy wax paper. Plain
bread and butter sandwiches are best to
eat with the chicken. Tomato and let
tuce sandwiches, because of their nnois-
ture, are always good for picnic meal.
1t is a little better IL the tomatoes are
carried along whole-the sandwiches be-
ing made up Just with the lettuce-then
the tomatoes sliced and added Just be-
fore passing When made to stand any
length of time tomato Juice Is apt to
soak into the bread and make rather too
moist a sandwich for most peoples taste.

in quart glass Mason jars or in thermos

when eaten outdoors.
