years and q half phantom figure
ABOUT the United States Embassy

dispatches from Washington. as the
most likely successor TO Ambas-
sador Dwight w. Morrow when Mr..
Morrow goes to the Senate from

Mr.. Clark has no official title.
The Naval Attache might. If he
wished to talk as he would az sea,
refer TO him as the "supercargo"
Of the Embassy.
Perhaps technically nobody Is
be~.er Tilted for the Ambassador
ship TO Mexico than Mr.. Clark IS
under the circumstances, and his
possible appointment has been the
subject of wide comment here IN
diplomatic circles and among men,
bers OF the American colony. He
has been q silent, unpretentious but
nevertheless powerful ally and aide
OF Ambassador Morrow in the solu-
ton OF issues between the two
governments ever since the date Of
Mr.. Morrow's arrival In Mexico
City.
So quietly did Clark work for the
first six months of his sojourn in
Mexico City. that he was barely
known ppvnnd the = limits NJ the
Embassy compound. Gradually his
important position began to filter
through his natural almost timid
nature and he began to be recog-
nized as a potential factor In the
diplomatic negotiations that have
been conducted between Mexico
City and Washington.
Excepting for eight months dat
Ing from September, 1928, Clark
has been in Mexico practically
continuously since Mr.. Morrow ar
rived.

Says Parents Are at Fault
When Children Will not Eat
Home Economic Expert Says Food
Should Be Varied-Do Not
Nag Riddles

Mealtime is actually a bugbear
to many parents of small children,
because the small children will not
eat what they should. In the opin-
ion of Inez S. Wilson, home eco
Monies director of the National
Live Stock and Meat Board, the
fault lies with the parents, not
with the children.
The mothers task is to plan and
prepare proper meals for her off
spring, the Boards food specialist
continues. They should be appe-
tizing and attractive and above all
they should have variety enough to
make them interesting. We should
go on hungry strike, too, if the
same cereal greeted us every
morning and if mashed potatoes
and gravy were the piece de resis-
lance for every dinner. It may
take imagination to prepare the
right kind of food in way that
will appeal to the child's appetite
and it is every mothers job to ex-
ercise her imagination to that ex-
tent.
Then, when she has placed the
plate before the youngster, he and
his food should be forgotten about.
The elder members of the group
should devote themselves to their
food and their conversation and the
child, provided that he is well, will
do likewise. Even the teaching of
table manners, in the case of the
child who will not eat, should be
put aside until the child has learn
ed to take his food for granted.
The child who is we'll and who
does not eat usually behaves in
this fashion because it is such a
splendid way to hold the center of
the stage. If he sees that it is
matter of complete indifference to
his parents whether he eats or
whether he leaves the table hun
cry, he will soon realize that meal
time is the time to appease his
hunger and he won't leave the
table hungry very many times.
