OUR CHILDREN
-
By ANGELO PATRr.
The Failing Child.

"Jessie Is getting very bad reports.
The teachers say she can do better, but
she seems nervous, very inattentive.
When I talk to her about her lessons
she bursts into tears. She is a good
scholar. can't imagine what has
come over her.
Something like this has come to her:
She Is about entering the stage OF
adolescence. She has always been a
very sensitive. earnest child. II the
teacher said, do this page Of ex-
the reviews. II the teacher scolded a
late child she shivered, although she
never was late In her life. When some
body missed q question in class Jessie
was on edge until it had been aswered
correctly. What II the teacher should
ask her and she not be able to get the
right words out?
After year or two of this Jessie's
nerves were fatigued. Her growth was
making heavy demands upon her en-
ergy. School pressed hard. Something
had to give, so Jessie's guardian angel
old Mother Nature, closed the gates of
her mind and said, go play, my child
Play and grow. Tomorrow we will
study again."
When a child. boy or girl, begins
fldgeting, squirming, turning away from
the lessons that were won't to be gladly
faced, be warned The child is tired.
Give him rest. Many time you can
bridge bad time like this by cutting
down the school hours. Arrange with
the teacher to cut down lesson time by
letting the child go half days, or alter
81 inn fnvs al
daily periods Tor such time as Is nee
essary to let the child tone up his body.
Many an earnest child is overworked
in school. The teacher may teach a
new case in arithmetic. Some get it
quickly and some do not, and the
teacher says, Nov you children who
were right do this set Of examples. I'll
work with the other children" and
these high-strung children, these ner-
vous ones, bend to the task. Perhaps
all they need to do In order to fix the
idea Is q couple Of examples. but they
work on until the end of the period.
They are tired when the bell rings, but
they must go on and on through the
day experiencing just the same rou-
tine. The high-strung child suffers
while the more stodgy one saves him
self by proceeding slowly, doing third
Of the amount Of work in the same
time.
Then If your child Is getting nervous,
IL his work seems to be falling of al
though the child is trying hard to keep
up, see the teacher and plan to have
the pressure of work lifted for a time
and see what happens
When Jessie was relieved Of school
pressure for month she was as eager
for school as in the beginning and lost
no time In making up her work. 1t is
not always necessary to take such chill
dren out Of school. Just try adjusting
the program a little, cut down the
hours of work and increase the play
time. Health comes first. Lessons viii
keep while.

Details Of Makeup.

Every small detail counts IN the
process Of applying makeup artistically.
In the first place, the skin must be
clean. IL 1t is too dry or too oily, suit
able correctives must be applied before
powder and rouge are put on. just the
right amount Of cosmetics, OF exactly
the right shade. should be used. The
| placing of rouge on the cheeks and on
the mouth Is an art in itself.
In general, face powders and rouges
with q creamy or yellowish tinge are
most becoming. Pure pinks and whites
are seldom met with as complexion
tints. There is q little yellow in the
fairest skin. Do not, however, ny to
the opposite extreme and choose I'M
natural orange shades. Dark purplish
reds are not youthful and should, In
most cases, be avoided, or else blended
nude, flesh, rachel and ochre provide
a graduation of tints from which any
| girl or woman can select the powder
that harmonizes with her skin.
| After selecting the shade Of powder
and rouge that Is most becoming, you
are ready to apply them to the best
advantage. As said above, the skin
must first be cleansed Use cleansing
cream for this purpose and wipe 1t of
If your skin Is oily, moisten a piece OF
clean cotton In an astringent lotion and
wipe of the last traces Of the cream. II
your skin Is dry. rub on thin film OF
food cream to act as powder base. II
1t Is neither too dry nor too oily, apply
makeup directly after wiping OF the
cleansing cream
Apply the rouge O little at time
studying your face from all angles as
you do so. Do not let any rouge come
on your cheek as far down as the lobes
of the ears; keep 1t on the upper part
of your cheeks, but do not let 1t spread
to the temples. The rouge should be
applied In an inverted, triangular form,
the curved base of the triangle coming
under the eye and the apex pointing
downward and inward toward the chin
All edges should be blended to avoid
harsh lines. Experiment with the
placing of the apex Of the triangle. Note
how your face seems narrower when the
apex is brought near your nose and
wider when It Is carried back toward
the angle Of your jaw.
Now dust on your face powder, using
1t sparingly and smoothing it downward

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

tendencies certainly veer more one way
than the other. We still are x men or
Y men, but as x men we have some OF

All this may be tough bit of psy-

important to recognize that we differ

pews, In two churches that in many
respects oppose each other Without
telling the whole tale, let 1t be said
that these types are evolved from a
large study of cases of mental disorder
That should not frighten anybody. The

with this difference in mental makeup
is apt to go difference in bodily
makeup, in constitution. Caesar mis-

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO


The so-called bad boy constitutes q
real tragedy because he Is not a bad
boy at all. His incorrigibility arises
from an exaggerated development of
the childish impulses Of independence
1t is this impulse gone to seed that
gets the boy into trouble. In itself
the trait is most laudable. Unfortu-
nately it sometimes takes most ugly
attitude toward parents and teachers
and society in general.
This popularity is taken to be a
sure sign of badness and the boy Is
started on career of crime by ignorant
and unsympathetic parents and police
officers.
A great many of the bad boys
pranks are nothing but the extreme
manifestation of the spirit of daring and
courage and independence that crops
out in middle childhood and early
adolescence. The boy breaks windows,
tears down his neighbours gate, steals
fruit, and does a lot of other things,
not because he is bad and wants to
destroy property, but because he wants
to impress his gang with his skill and
courage. The boy who can chew the
biggest quid of tobacco and spit the
blacklist and farthest is hailed as hero
In his gang.
Boys of this age admire strength and
deeds of daring above all else. They
will have nothing to do with weaklingS
who do not share their feelings. The

Which Type Are Youl

A profound student of human nature
in health and disease, whose name ]
won't mention, nor the terms that he
uses, regards most of his fellow human
specimens as belonging to one or other
Of two types. Let us call them K and
Y. Each represents number OF varie-
ties, but despite the variety they belong
to common type.
Among the x people are such as 1.-THE
freely, cheerfully; they play and they
drink and they smoke: they are lively,
good natured. not very sensitive; they
are comfortable, animated.
This K man may be "a quiet humor-
ist," who on occasion lights UP and tells
good story; he makes friends easily;
he lives and lets live. And again. he
may be silent good-tempered man"
yet q good fellow, sympathetic, and at
peace with mankind; or he may be a
happy enjoyer of life," satisfied with
his station: simple, not very deep, not
much of a thinker, liking the good
things of the flesh and slipping pleasures
as he goes.
He may be the energetic, practical
man." liking to be busy with many little
Jobs, dabbiing in all sorts of things,
especially something new; even tenn
pered, compromising quite sure Of him.
self always. One and all. these people
belong to the x type. which Is perhaps
the more common and the nearest to
normal.
When you come to the Y type all is
changed. If the x type is uncompli-
Gated. expressive, untroubled, good
natured. superficial, the Y type Is just
the opposite. The Y type is inclined
to be reserved, shy, sensitive. LII at ease.
Again. when realized as a portrait the
type shows varying features. 1t may
take the form OF ''the polite, sensitive
man.; he has taste and goes in for the
refinements Of life; he likes a few per-
sons and dislikes many: in the right
circle he Is charming. sympathetic, in
the wrong one silent, formal, withdraw
ing.
Or this man is likely to go to ex-
tremeS, may become sort of idealist,
not at peace with this world and living
much In one of his own making; per-
haps inclining to bit of radical or
different" Fanatics in what they 60
in for or in what they deny themselves
are of this order. OF the Y type may
be "cold, masterful nature" a good
deal of an egotist; somewhat narrow,
self-centered. He may become ty-

slow to forgive. Or the portrait may
show dried and emotionally handi-
capped" person, silent, or depressed, or
peculiar, or unsympathetic, or formal.
The trouble with any division Of hui
mainly into types Is that, while true
enough and clear enough when the out
lines are clear, very few run true to
form all the way through. There are

Foreheads Are Now in Fashion
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Gradually foreheads have come back
into fashion and the woman who has
q smooth, fair brow Is as much admired
nowadays as she was in early Vic
torian days. To be sure, one still sees
well dressed women with hair arranged
In bangs of some sort or with side
parted hair looping down on the fore
head, but the prevailing type OF mil
linery makes such an arrangement din
cult, especially for daytime wear. The
hat pushed way back from the fore
head is neither in good taste nor In
fashion, but rather more Of the FORE
head Is seen than was the case q year
made to show quite q patch Of fore
head on one side-but drawn down on
the brow at the other side. And If
you would wear your new hats In
way that Paris approves you must not
let one single hair show at the front.
In order to make sure Of this the
simplest arrangement Is to brush the
hair well back from the forehead.
Ears are, as one hairdresser puts it.
Optional" If you have very nicely
shaped ears and face that Is neither
too broad nor too thin, you viii find
the couture shown uppermost In the
sketch well worth trying, and with q
hat that ats closely down at the side
of the head you will find 1t convenient
not to have earlocks to contend with.
But there really never was a time
when woman might arrange her hair
In such a wide variety of styles and
still not look quaint or eccentric.
Every woman really needs number
OF purses and handbags, because it is
really important to have the bag har-
monte quite definitely with the rest of
the ensemble. II you would like bag
to match frock you are making or
would like bag and scarf set, you
will find it not at all difficult to make
a bag yourself. This weeks help for
the home dreSsmaker shows how this
may be done-with the aid Of strip
Of patent fastening some ribbon or silk
and little canvas for interlining. II

My Husband Looked After That.

"Oh N.Y." sighed the widow piteously,
''here I've got to insure my house for
fire and don't know how to 60 about
it. Now that he's gone I'm simply lost.
] can't just renew the policy because
we've moved, and our house isn't the
same risk, the insurance agent tells
me-"
No earthly reason exists why any
woman should not be able to secure fire
insurance intelligently and efficiently.
First of all, it Is never wise to insure
above the cash value of your property.
All policies read that one is insured up
to an amount mot exceeding the ac-
tual cash value" That is why when a
building and other property depreciate
ones insurance should be lowered &C.
cordingly. On the other hand where
property values increase, the reverse
should be done.
Always keep an inventory of what is
insured in safe place. It is also nee
essary to have proof of loss. Receipts
Ones inventory should include house.
hold goods as well as personal belong
ings.
1t is best to take your house room by
room, and list and describe all articles.
In the event of fire, knowing the loca-
ton of each article is generally of as
sistance.
Having done that, read your policy
and make sure the property described
is insured. Make sure the building it
self is properly described, and its legal
location is given correctly. Your in
surance willeonly cover the location in
the policy.

Boy Scout and other boys clubs meet
the need of such boys to some extent
But they fail to interest the real bad
boys.
An experienced officer Of juvenile
delinquents, in a private interview
stated that the parents were responsible
for the boys delinquency in over 90
per cent of the cases.
It is a pity that the superior quail
ties in boys are not more often directed
in the proper channels of business and
social service. The most daring and
resourceful criminals are developed
from such bad boys, who might have
become captains of industry If properly
handled.
The boys impulse of daring, which
so often gets him into trouble, is like
electricity or fire, which are forces OF
great good as well as harm. Every
thing depends on how they are directed
and controlled. Modern criminologists
are almost unanimous in their belief
that there is no criminal class, that
there is no such thing as born GRIM
inal All criminals are made through
unfortunate circumstances and poor en-
vironment, bad associations and unwise
handling.
Perhaps society will some day dis
cover a way to save the intelligent bad
boys and thus enrich the life of society
by restoring to it many gifted and
daring spirits.

Doctor Says Diet
COlOrS Our Ewes

An extremely interesting question has
been brought up in the announcement
recently made by doctor in Chicago
that the color of the human eye is in
fiuenced by the diet. This doctor says
that his experience in treating eyes has
shown that the color can be changed
by change in food. Whether this is
correct or not, so far as the general run
of humanity is concerned, it does open
the way for considerable speculation
and for further study and research.

Edgar, chairman of the international
relations committee.
The Rotarians heard a splendid
and enlightcning adress on cdu-
cation in the Northern District of
Baja California. given by Senator
Manuel Rivas Of Mcxicali.
Throughout his talk he held the
close interest of the Rotarians as
he reviewed the history Of Lower
California from the earliest times
down to the present. As late as 1896,
lie stated, there was only one school
in the entire territory of Lower Cal
ifornia.
In that year the federal govern
ment decided to take action IA in

appropriation of approximately SS,-
600 was made for this purpose. An
elaborate program was outlined, but
