Talks To&2
- Parents
LAZY
(By Alice JudSOn Pealc)

w hear a good deal about lazy
children, but lazy parents are seldom
mentioned. Yet I am sure there are
at least as many Of the latter as there
gre of the former.
To be sure. the laziness Of parents
IS less obvious than the laziness of
children. It masqucrades in ever SO
many subtle and virtuous forms. In
the realm Of discipline and training
It calls itself natures way and self
direction" In the realm of manners
it calls itself freedom" and SINGER
ily."
Mrs. Roberts, for instance, proudly
explains that she is teaching her
three-year-old self reliance by allow
ing him to take his own bath. AS a
matter Of fact permitting a three
year-old to take his bath without help
OF supervision is hardly teaching him
much or anything; 1t is simply q
splendid way Of rationalizing the fact
that n IS too lazy to do a daily
chore. A really conscientious parent
would give a threc-year-old his bath
and little by little teach him to wash
himself.
Mrs. Elder is lazy in quite a differ
cnt way. When her six : year : old
daughter wants to ''help' with the
house cleaning she tells her to run
and play. Mrs. Elder explains that
she wants her little girl to have a
carefrcc childhood-but the fact Is
that she does not want to be bothered
to teach clumsy little hands the
things they are so eager to learn.
Do you not sometimes catch your
self being a lazy parent? Don't let
yourself get away with 1t. Be sure
that the rules you make. the things
you permit and the things you forbid
arc really for your child's good.
You will be surprised to discover
how often you exact obedience merely
because it is convenient.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Calories Per Day

Question: w. g. J. writes: pleas.
tell me how many calories q day on
should get in his food. I am under
weight and am trying to improve by
eating. Is 1t injurious to take salts
every night? What causes fever
blisters when one does not seem to
have fever, or cause for it?"
Answer: Dietitians who try to bal.
ance patients diets through the cal
orie theory might say that you require
between $500 to $500 calories q day,
but the truth Is you may be able to
get more nourishment and live bet
ter on 1000 calories daily. providing
1t is of the right quality. It Is q bad
habit to take salts every night. The
so-called fever b!isters are really
caused by hyper acidity OF the stom-
ach which Is usually present when
one has a fever: but. Of course. these
blisters may occur at any time from
over -acidity when fevcrs are not
present.
Shingles
Question: Mrs. H. asks: VIII you
kindly explain in plain language tho
cause OF shingles, the symptoms, and
il there is q cure?"
Answer: The name "shingle3" Is
given to a disorder caused by the de-
post of toxic substances along Ger
tain nerve trunks. It always occur
on one side of the body at a time. and
is more frequently found on the ur-
per back or around the ribs Of cnc
side. The nerves are inflamed by the
toxins. and the skin breaks out In a
rash wherever the most irritation ex-
lists. The cure IS through diet. and
no local treatments are very cffec-
tive. A fast taken at the onset OF
the disorder will hasten the cure, but
even under this treatment 1t often
takes a week or ten days for the crup-
ton to disappear.

What Wages Will Buy

The United States is famous as a country of high
wages.
Nowhere in the world do the services of even the ordi-
nary worker command as high a sum OF money as they do
here. To the underpa:d laboser of Europe the country
looks ike an FL Dorado-and VIC have to pass stiff immi-
grafton laws to keep from being swampcd by a flood of
job-huntcrs.
Yet there is another side to the picture. II You can
get a lot Of money for your services here, you can get a
10. OF service for your money. The country is. after all,
like every other-tor All amazingly small sum you can
buy tho very best that a man has to give, in generous
measure.
About a year ago there was published a book called "on
the Bottom written by Commander Edward Ellsbcrg Of
the ". S. navy. 1t illustrates this point perfectly.
Commander Ellsberg was in charge of the navys effort
to raise the sunken submarine S-5l. which sank off Block
Island a few years ago after being ranmed by a steamer.
His book is the story of that job; and it tells a tale of
horoism and endurance that is almost incredible.
Under him there were approximately a score of divers
navy enlisted men.
These men were drawing the regular navy rate OF pay
good pay, as military service goes, bu. not comparable to
the earnings. say. OF a first rate carpenter or mechanic in
civil life. They were all volunteers for the jobs they held:
the navy can't order any man below the surface against
his will.
Day after day, for many weeks, these men went about
the most pe-iious job you can imagine. Their work took
them 40 feet below the surface Of the water. They
cIaNled INTO the Sunken SUD, through narrow natcneS,
trailing their life lines pas. machinery that could SO cas-
~ cndangcr them and trap them forever: they lay on
their backs. an hour at q time. to burroW through the
muck OF the bottom beneath the subs hull; they dared
death in its most horrible form Imaginable, time after
time. cilcerfuly and without complaint-and all for q
scant three CT four dollars a day!
If you want to strengthen your faith in the race, read
that book. And, as YOU read il. reflect on this: that
While the story told BY Commander Ellsbcrg IS an ex-
treEo one. it only typiiies the sort Of thing that hap
pens every day in the year, in every city and town in the
country.
What docs an employer get when he hires a man? The
mere performance Of a job? Not at all. He gets his life.
Uncounted millions Of men are giving everything they
have to jobs that yield them a bare living-eiving 1t SIM
ply because there is something in the human heart that
makes for long endurance, great bravery and unprotest-
ing sacrifice.
The sailors who went down to the Ssh gave more than
most. Yet they are only symbols Of the great average.
Like their fellow citizens ashore, they were doing the jobs
they knew best for a few dollars a day-and putting into
the doing all Of the strength and courage that God gave
them.

LESSONS IN LEISURE

The reason the majority Of them do
not have happiness is because, instead
Of spending their leisure profitably,

THE OTHER SIDE

Balance against this the thousands
of girls working for $40 to SIS q
week. The injustice strikes one. Yet,
if it is any consolation for the girls
who work, the faces Of the girls who
buy SIPS stockings do not indicate
that they have found the bluebird Of
happiness in life.
: saw a very rich girl in q shop one
day viewing some gorgeous bridal
gowns displayed by mannequins. She
lolled in her chair. held a cigarct aim
lessly in her fingers and did not like
a single thing shown her. She wore
a most unpleasant frown. her mouth
was pctulant and her whole manner
revealed infinite boredom.

HIGH STANDARDS

A day Of shopping in New York's
Filties would be a revelation to the
average working girl. One store has
a lively trade in SIPS stockings. They
are exquisite. cob-webby creations Of
fine mesh into which bits Of ARE old
lace are woven. Brides are the usual
recipients Of gifts of these stockings.
But even for the bridal path, 1t seems
a high price to pay.
Another store carries garters for
men that come $40 q pair, for they
have fine platinum clasps. A wag
could easily paraphrase a famous
garter slogan to fit these by saying,
mo one can touch the metal"
