Eliminate the
 No-No Method
This Is Not Right Way to
 Train Children.

Mothers ahould concern them. sel, es with what the child CAN do, rather than with what he canno, do," is the advice of Mrs. Sidonie Matsner Gutenberg. Director of the Child Study Association of Amer ica.
 How can l stop my child from --?" used to be the most fre- quent mothers ever asked" Mrs. Gutenberg pointed out.
 Now parents ask: What is in- teresting and challenging enough to my child so that --?'
 "The newer attitude of parents augurs well for the grown-ups of tomorrow. By nature every child Is active. His environment challenges him constantly. He learns to control his environment only as he gets an opportunity 10 handle and under stand things.
 We waste time and energy by rot utilizing child's interest in a constructive way. Toys fulfill this function.
 Give the small child large playthings or he will use his muscles on the furniture. The difficulty of the old method of child training was that a child used 10 be stopped constantly by prohibitions every time he wanted 10 concentrate on something in. teresting. Later, in adolescence, his powers Of concentration often were impaired"

Will you come over here. Auntie Madge?" Marion asked, when she had locked the door of her room, and I rose from my chair and cross ed the room to the cedar chest which I know is one Of her proudest possessions. Her mother gave it 10 her upon her fourteenth birthday, but Marion always has devoted only part of its space to keeping moths away from her Woolen frocks. The rest is assigned to the heteroeenous collection of treasures which young sters accumulate.
 She opened it and began to dump upon the floor the objects compris- ing the top layer. A huge stamp al- bum, two or three fancy Workbas- kets, each containing, 1 knew, sev- eral unfinished pieces or needle work. an elaborate outfit for making artificial beads. coloring outfit, a file of her favorite magazine, a col lection of ship pictures-a number of photographs taken by herself-all these piled around me before she lifted from the bottom of the chest | box which 1 had seen once or twice before and which I greatly ad- niired

She always had said that il would belong to Marion some day. and q few weeks before she died, she ask ed to see her granddaughter alone.

Freak Hair Style
 Is On Increase
More and More of It Seen
 In Paris.
BY HAZEL REAVlS

l Associated Press Fashion Editor) l Paris, June 12. R>-Women who want to be "recreated" in Paris have strained the beauty business almost to the breaking point, says Emile. wielder of the curling iron at famous hairdressing establish ment. Emile's employer is limiting the number of customers he will &C., cept each day for "recreative" treat ment.
 According to Emile. ''be yourself" is motto without appeal to his cust tomers.
 "They all want to be made differ ent," he said with a sigh, and the . pretty ones are worst of all. : We make them different. but some- times it's a change for the worst. at least to my way Of thinking. There's such a thing as looking too original"
 Eccentric hairdressing is on the increase, Emile's colleagues of the comb and curling iron agree. The fact that women are trying to dis guise the evidence that their hair is being allowed to grow, together with the desire to 'be different" is responsible for bizarre hair styles. they say. One of the remarkable hair styles suggested by one shop to women who want to be different is the Hottentot. It consists of bush of hair held in place by round combs which pull the hair back off the forehead. The ends of the growing bob are frizzed to the extreme.
 Another new hair style h based on a center part in back. The back hair Is combed forward over the ears and covers the short front locks. This style is recommened by hairdressers to women who are letting their back hair grow.

Brain IS Lie's
 Big Switchboard
It Is From This Point All
 Connections are Made.
BY DR. NORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal 0l the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

Tine brain of man is a highly complicated organ. Compared with that Of frog it is like the suitch- board in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York compared to the 1 two wires that connect up . dry ! cell
 Yet the brain of frog, if mapped out in detail. would make the wiring chart Of the largest eleetricsf1y driven factory. to use : the words of C. Judson Herrick. look as simple as a county-road map.
 In fact, the brain is SO complex in structure that it's very construc- tion is sufficient to explain almost any theory that any one may want to offer as to how We think and as to how we carry on our con- scious activities.
 The brain is the central switch- board of the human body. To it come impulses from nerve endines in the skin,' the eyes. ears. nose anu tuli5us, NC IL CCIlie Stilsd tICIS as to balance, and the position of the body in space: to it come feel ings of pain. of fullness. of warmth or Of cold in interior or gans.
 When these things reach the brain they are likely to be trans lated into action.
 If pain is received the response may be a l1sty touch" proceed ing to the world by means Of the larynx and other organs of speech.
 If the sensation is one of empti- ness from the stomach it may be translated through memories to motor activities including trip to the ice box. looking over the contents. selecting a piece of ap- pie pie left from dinner and the conveyance of the said pie to the mouth and thence to the point from which the original signal emanated. That Is a type of CO., ordination of which any electrical engineer would brag exceedingly.
 Mind. thought and their con- version into action are the func- tions of the brain just as digestion is a function Of the stomach. Functioning O. any tissue in the body results in fatigue of that tissue.
 Just as muscle may become tired from overuse, so also the cells in which the activities of the brain arc carried on may become fatigued from thinking, which Is their function.
 The people who think, there- fore. that the mind Is something apart, that can be detached from the body, have reckoned without the facts.

 Iubby was angry clear through There never was an angrier small Bear. Shadow the Weasel had niy- ped one of Cubby's heels and it had hurt. But it wasn't the pain tha, made Cubby lose his temper SC much as the impotence of Shadow the Weasel.
 "1ll cat you allye." roared Ctbby
 Come on, dol" retorted Shadow. What are you waiting for?''
 Cnbby wasn't waiting. He was rushing madly at Shadow. now here and now there, and growing angrier every minute. You see, il made him angry to be teased in this way, and Shadow certainly was teasing him.
 Why don't you stand still and fight?' growled Cubby.
 "Because 1 can fight better nov ing replied Shadow. and npped Cubbys other heel.
 That was q. funny fight. II vas a good deal like Jack and the Giant. Cubby vas ever and ever so many times bigger than Shadow. It was perfectly absurd to think of such q little fellow as Shadow fighting with Cubby. But the funny part of it was that Shadow WAS having all the best Of T.. His teeth wore small, but they were sharp. and h.. moved so quickly that never once could Cuhby even touch him. Each time Cubhy jumped for Shadow and vas sure he had him. Shadow wouldn't be there. II was very irritating, not to say provoking.
 To make matters worse, I}lacky the Crow and sammy Jay had dis covered what was going on, and they were making all manner of fun ol Cubby. Yes, indeed. they were mak- ing all manner Of fun of CubDy. And all the time Shadow kept righ, on tormen'ing Cubby. The fact is. Shadow was beginning 10 enjoy II. You see, he knew that he could get away at any 'irnt he wanted To. He know that there vas really nothing to fear. And il pleased him 70 think that he was making one so much bigger than himself SO very uucom- fortahle.
 But Shadow the Weasel never ran do anyt hing very long at q time. After a. bit he grew tired of teasing Cubby. Besides. he had worked off eone Of the rage which had taken possession Of him when Farmer Browns Boy had frightened off the Woodcock.

Tips on Conduct
 at Royal Court
These Will Ease the Mind
 of the Debs.

London, June 12. R- American debutantes are congratulating them- selves on the fact that none of their number who was presented at the recent courts disgraced her self by tripping. or failing to curtsy or losing her feathers at the cru cial moment when she faced the king and queen.
 For days preceding the courts, London newspapers devote much of their space 10 Dos and Don'ts for Debs.'
 Here are some of them:
 "On the night o( the court. when you are going 10 be presented to King George and Queen Mary, don't be embarrassed by the gen. tleman in black silk brooches just inside the door of Buckingham pal ace. Sweep past him. His faint resemblance to the king has chilled but the king doesn't answer his own door.
 Don't worry about slipping when you curtsy. A thousand ether debutantes are worrying more than you, but the carpet in front of the throne is specially thick and cling ing.
 Don't use any scent. The queen dislikes it. and her smile might show it.
 When you go to court .don't let the excitement make you lose your appetite. The queen doesn't like fainting debutantes. And a nice little dinner is better investment than a tiara.
 When you go to Ascot, the great royal race meet and glittering fash ion parade. don't expect Queen Mary to make a bee-line towards you, in spite of the gracious smile she gave you at the court. Race meets are not her long suit any, way'
