FAVORABLE OUTLOOK
u. S. Employment Service Does Not
Mention Textiles

The Connecticut industrial outlook
for 1929 is described as favorable with
a general feeling of optimism prevail
ing throughout the state and steady
employment of resident workers ex-
pected, according to a special report
made public today by Francis /.
Jones, director general of the United
States employment service.
"The metal working industry has
operated at capacity and in some sec
tions on overtime schedules, the re-
port states, land present Indications
point TO a continuance during 1929.
A greater demand for skilled labor
is anticipated, largely due to the ex-
pansion Of several industries. Sufii-
cient building is anticipated to en-
ploy the resident supply Of building
craftsmen. Unskilled labor win be
well employed, except for a slight
surplus apparent during the winter
months. A general feeling Of optimism
prevails throughout the state, and
steady employment for resident work
ers is expected.

MAY ST. CROSSING
CLOSED AFTER 1OP.M.
Railroad Company, With City's
Permission, Acts to Relieve
Dangerous Situation
Warming Signs Give Notice to Drivers
of Vehicles

The May street grade crossing of the
n. Y. n. II. a. II. railroad Is now
closed to traffic between the hours of
10 p. m. and ; 4. m. This action has
been taken by the railroad company
after survey to determine how many
vehicles use the crossing between
these hours of the night. 1t has been
found that the number IS negligible.
The city has made no agreement
with the railroad company either by
giving them a license or an easement.
The city's attitude is negative. Ii has
allowed the railroad company to go
ahead with its plan to close the cross
ing, and the plan viii remain in force
unless there is substantial and serious
objection. In other words, the city
has not bound itself in any way and at
any moment may order the crossing
again left open to traffic.
The railroad company has erected
warning signs on either side OF its
right of way giving notice of the hours
during which the crossing is closed.
These signs are illuminated so as to
be readable Mt night. The gates Will
remain down from ten O'Clock until
five o'clock, and this will be the only
1 barrier. Needless to say the gates
will be lighted so that the warning
may be plainly seen by drivers of We
hicles approaching the crossing IN the
I darkness.
Utilities Commission Order
The action of the railroad company
is due to an order from the Public
Utilities Commission to have the cross
ing guarded night and day. The stu
at.on is a hazardous one, as there are
some five or six tracks at this point
and there is great deal Of switching
back and forth over the crossing dur
/ ing greater part of the night. Either
the crossing had to be closed or an ex-
/ ira man put on to comply with the
commissions order. 1t was felt that
a gate tender would be of little use at
night, as it is difficult to see freight
cars that are being shunted back and
forth as they approach the crossing.
1 The present solution seemed the best
and the safest to accomplish the pur-
pose. the safeguarding of the travel
/ ing public.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

If the baby is 8 months or more
in June, he should be weaned. I am
daily opening letters asking me If baby
should be nursed through the second
Summer. No. he should not be. This
is emphatic and means both the big,
healthy child and the small, weak child.
Second Summer nursing for the child
old enough to be weaned in the Spring
Is taboo for two very good reasons. The
nourishment Of mothers milk is poor
after the ninth month, sometimes much
earlier. And from the psychological
standpoint, nursing the baby after tie
first year simply prevents his develop
ing into the self reliant. mother-free
individual which he must become. II
we continue a decidedly infantile habit
like nursing and prolong it into the
second year, the baby Is kept an infant
when he should be definitely out of the
infant stage.
We may reiterate this warning over
and over as we do, being persistent,
but some mothers will not heed it. They
can't see why. They do not see helated
causes and effects. They do not I'M
derstand that If the baby is nursed
past the first year quite aside from his
poor nutrition). when deprived Of this
habit, he rebels and clings to or begins
SOIIlC Ob1lCI AlLdllbnC AldDAI. 81C ACAuoCo
to feed himself and demands to be fed
at each meal. He may begin to suck
his thumb. The mother cannot under
stand these nor see any relation between
them and the fact that he was nursed
for so long. The psychologist sees q
very clear relation, because he sees this
happen over and over again in the
child who has been nursed too long.
His development is checked and he
"compensateS" for the loss Of one In
fantile habit by developing another.
So let it be quite clear in our minds
that we do the baby double injury
when we continue to nurse him through
the second Summer. We deprive him
of correct nourishment, for he Is now
at the age when he should be getting
a varied diet and feeding himself at
his mealtimes. He should be drinking
his milk from a cup and be quite sepa-
rated from any reliance on his mother
for any of his nourishment.
The dangers of weaving in June are
non-existent. providing the mother
takes proper care of milk, bottles and
nipples, or cups eve hope 1t will be
cups). and does not throw all sanity
to the winds, but Is Just as careful Of
the child'S second Summer diet as she
was Of it during the Winter months.
Fear of the second Summer grew out
Of former lack of knowledge as to how
to feed baby and how to take care of
milk and food during hot weather
With that knowledge in hand, we need
no longer fear it any more than we
fear any past bugaboos that we have
dispelled by knowledge.

Reply.
Everybody knows that children nat
urally nervous are likely to develop fur.
ther troubles during adolescence; thai
period, always a strain, upsets then
more. The two closely connected sign:
of such nervousness are motor Spasms
twitches. tics, impedimentS and shyness
or inhibitions. The two combine vari-
ously.
In the aggressive child the motor ex-
pressional symptoms dominate-typical-
ly, f1dgets. In early childhood the child
won't take time to eat, hasn't the pa
thence to play. can't sit still, tires of new
toys quickly, doesn't know what to dc
with himself, doesn't do well at studies
because he hasn't the patience. Ora
ually and irregularly control is acquired
never so easily, never: so completely. as
in the more normal, less agitated, non
nervous child. Adolescence induces a
new order Of disquiet.
TIA f7dHloG ond dawdIGC fntar1lY1tS re.
bells, objects to routine, gets fusSy with
his food. declining to join in group
sports, sulkS, saSses, Is unruly generally
In contrast, the recessive child shows
somewhat opposite symptoms; but in
earlier stages these tics or spasrnS ap-
pear in both, yet dominate in the ag-
gressive type. Such habit-spasms af-
feet the smaller muscles and take the
form Of twitching, facial contortions
moving the jaw from side to side, suck
ing the lips, wrinkling the forehead, etc
With the approach Of adolescence the
shy symptoms dominate and embarraSs
motor expression; hence suffering, con-
fusion, inability to command speech.
The treatment of these two types of
adolescent nervousness can only in part
be the same; greater poiSe is the COM
mon goal. But what interferes with
poise is not the same impeachment. Par
ticularly must the shy, recessive, STAN
mering child be taken In hand more in
dividually and larger concession made
to his handicap. The aggressively rest
less adolescent is at home in the group;
the group routine may have the re-
straining influence he needs for he Is
apt to be more unruly alone. For the
timid child, the group sets OF his
handicap. It happens that q good part
of school work is done in groups, and
facing the group is often the trying part
of the performance.
Treatment must follow these clues.
Don't give the recessive child too much
social strain; get him used to smaller,
informal groups first. Don't penalize
shyness by school marks intended for
ignorance or neglect. Let shy children
rehearse their lessons aloud at home
associate vocal expression in the pres
ence Of others with the confidence Of
knowledge.
Cultivate chorus answers by the class.
