them relatively deficient, or it may de-

New Money for Old Hands.

If you should wake up some fine
morning and couldn't recognize your
self as the person that went to bed you
would have cause to suspect yourself of
being drunk or suffering from amnesia.
Such lapses Of memory occur now and
then, but for short periods of time. In
serious cases memory of the past is
completely gone and the personality is
dissolved.
But whether momentarily or perma-
nently, failure to identify yourself
means the dissertation of personality,
The essential thing in personality is the
consciousness of self and the identifica-
ton of the self with the past and pres
ent experiences of particular individ-
ual.
No one Is born a personality. Per-
sonality is an achievement. It comes
with experience and the development of
self consciousness. The normal baby
reaches this stage by about the ninth
month. After great series of i'm
pressionS, more or less unrelated, the
child comes to recognize certain ele-
mentS of similarity. He comes in time
to develop an idea of himself which
consists of the elements of similarity
found in all his mental processes. His
experiences are somewhat alike and
continuous. To use q figure of speech,
the child's experiences shift from what
corresponds to the disconnected and
rapidly shifting news items on the mov-
ing picture screen to a serial story
maintaining the identical hero despite
his changing episodes.
The curious thing is that the child
comes to consciousness Of himself by
first realizing that others are not part
of himself. In other words, he becomes
conscious Of other persons and objects
before he Is conscious Of himself as a

ience his parents. Small cars ridden
around the living room will scar the
furniture. But is he really misbehay-
ing when he rides around the room? Or
is he naughty only because you have
told him that he can't do It?
If the child's freedom is from the be-
ginning circumscribed by a bedrail, a
fence, a closed highchair and buggy
strap, he is certainly going to be in
toxicated when he Is let out, and will
run hither and thither like wild ami
NAL. If he has constant freedom and
learns by experience how to avoid the
furniture with his car, even though
his learning is temporarily inconvenient.
1t fosters in the child the willingness to
listen and heed reasonable commands.
The reward Of disobedience is still
punishment. But the past generation
matter what the child did that angered
them, they attempted to correct it by a
good spanking. 1t seems very funny
that, now their spanking days are over,
they are so ready to fly to the defense
of their methods. If spanking as cor
rective or deterrent of misbehavior had
any merits no one would have to defend
1t. But even today the courts are full
of problem children, whose only knowl-
edge of why they shouldn't do thing
was when their parents said they
shouldn't and punctuated their misbe-
havier with a stick. They know no
really good reason why all persons must
obey.
The modern mother Is not soft. She
is not intent upon driving her child to
license through misuse of his freedom,
but she is unwilling to use as a corr
rective weapon that has proven use
less. The stick teaches nothing but
the strength of the parent. What we
aim to teach our children is to live,
and In order to live they must learn to
respect authorities Of all kinds, and in
the home we temporarily are the repre-
sentatives Of such authority.

Try the following method for q few
weeks:
Massage with cleansing cream be-
fore bathing and remove all of it with
very warm water and fine soap. Rinse
in different temperatures of water,
making the final rinse ice cold, or use
ice rubbed over the skin until there is
tingling sensation. Do this once each
day for weeks, and follow this method
up whenever there is recurrence of
the trouble. If you should resort to
pricking the head of any of these inn
pacts, be sure the point of the needle

or any other cleansing lotion used on
the skin afterward. Some people do
manage to open these heads and squeeze
out the mass from the pore, but there

in many cases. Any method that stim-

be sure to rid you of the trouble, even

The modern parent faces real con-
fusion when she tries to mark out q
wise course for herself relative to dis
obedience and punishment. Her think
ing is befogged because of the conflict
between the ideas of the older genera
ton, to which she has always listened
with respect, and her newer. knowledge
of the child and his natural behavior.
Instead of thinking the thing through
to a personal conclusion she says in be-
wilderment: II want my child to mind
me" and II want my child to have
freedom" and she does not know how to
things.
There is no real antagonism If the
mother will realize that children can
be free and develop their own person.
alities and still obey. It is her problem
to balance these two necessary elements
in the child's life as she would balance
his daily menu.
Children must obey. They must obey,
not because parents are inconvenienced
by their disobedience, but because they
are learning to live in world which
demands obedience to all kinds of law.
Their home is merely stepping stone
to life in society. We know that we can
live free lives SO long as we do not dis
obey man-made laws. We know that
we are considered upright, honorable
citizens so long as we do not come into
conflict with the decalogue. We know
that we may have healthy minds and
bodies so long as We do not transgress
physical laws. We know all these things
and do not resent them. We accept
them and children will likewise when
they realize that all of us "have to
mind" and are not antagonistic to it,

Coral Is Used

If you have any old corals, this is
certainly the time to bring them out

You can have them re-well, not re-
set, but rearranged. If you like. But you
can as we'll wear them in their quaint,
old state.
Some of the newer pieces show seed
pearls and coral combined most inter-
estingly-coral pendants or catches on
strings of pearls. Sometimes coral
beads are strung with pearls-a big
coral bead. with tiny pearls. or else
beads of equal size.
Something else odd in the way Of
jewelry is the new copper pearl
Copper tones are new. And the most
interesting strings of copper-colored
pearls are presented for Spring wearing
with street frocks and suits. Sometimes
triple string Of pearls will be Of three
strands, each Of a different so-called
copper shade. As matter of fact,
these copper tintS are hardly more than
deep, soft gold. Very lovely.
And gloves and stockings are offered
in the same tones, so that a new idea
in color ensembles is suggested by the
use Of this dusky tone Of Spring
fashions.

bags that don't look cheap and papery,

properly hold the things they were
chosen to hold, and enough bags so

In buying any sort Of luggage it is
wisest always to get the best possible

Astringents.

When an aStringent is used for the
skin it is for closing the pores and tight
ening the skin so it draws up the lax
muscles for period of hours after 1t
has been applied. Astringents are all
somewhat drying to the skin, although
this tendency is negligible in some. For
instance, benzoin is one of the simpler
ones and used great deal. A few
drops Of 1t In basin of water may be
used for the last rinse after thorough
cleansing Of the skin, which would
necessarily relax the muscles and open
the pores. Witch hazel Is another SIM
pie astringent. There is no need for
me to enumerate the many powerful
After using any aStringent, If the skin
feels drawn, 1t is best to 60 over 1t with
the finger tips, on which there Is some
cream.
It should not be necessary for any
woman to make habit Of using an
astringent If she will always remember
to make her final rinse after bathing
extremely cold. An ice rub is the ideal
aStringent, which can be used daily,
and the ;'sin continue to be benefited
from 1t. It is not drying and it is most
exhilarating. bringing the blood to the
surface, which cannot help but nourisi1
the skin, and those who have made this
a daily habit know how refreshed the
skin Is after this treatment.
The white of egg is an excellent as
tringent when there Is much need for
such treatment. Once q week would be
enough for such an astringent. It
should be diluted with about four times
as much water as egg. It is painted
over skin and left to dry and then
washed OF and plenty of cream mas
saged into skin afterward.

MINIATURE STATION
IS GRANTED LICENSE
Will Be Used by Chute Jumper in
Descent-WLS to Install
i 50,000-Watt Transmitter.

The worlds tiniest broadcasting sta
ton, using exactly one watt of power,
and which will repose on the chest OF
q parachute jumper in descent, has
been licensed by the Federal Radio
Commission. At the same time the
commission authorized another station
OWLS, at Chicago) to use the maximum
power output of $4,000 watts.
Radios newest tot will be operated
by Roosevelt Field, Inc, at New York
City. It will be used by the parachute
jumping instructor at the airport in
teaching the art of parachute jumping.
With the mite microphone and trans
mitter strapped to his chest he will tell
his class, on the ground, just what he Is
doing in order to execute a proper jump.
Down on the field the instructors
words will be picked up by a radio
receiving set and amplified. The broad
wave channel Of 1858 kilocycles and
cannot be picked up by the ordinary
receiving set adjusted for reception ever
the range of the broadcast band only.
In marked contrast to the grant of
the lowest broadcaSting power Of record,
the commission has authorized station
WIS, known throughout the West for
Its farm programs, to install $4,000
watt transmitter. The commission re-
station for the right to use the maxi
mum allowable power, but has recon-
Sidered its previous action.
Chicago, which Is waging a warm
battle with New York City for the
honor of being radio hub of the Nation,
thus gets its second 50,000-watt station.
Station WENR, operated by the insult
Power interests, but on the air only the
equivalent of two full days a week, has
b. g.. -
year. WIS Is on the air five-SeventhS
time, sharing the 870-kilocycle channel
with WENR. It now uses 5000 watts.
Within the past two weeks the COM
mission has granted three applications
for the right to use the maximum
broadcaSting power Of $4,000 watts.
Station KIT, at Los Angeles, was
licensed to use this power after 1t had
completed installing 50,000-watt trans
mitter. Later the commission granted
the application OF station WABC, key
Of the Columbia Broadcasting System,
in New York City, for a construction
permit for such a station. And now it
has sanctioned the request Of station
WIS, which is operated by the Prairie
Farmer, farm publication.
There are now eight stations in the
country using the maximum power, all
on cleared channels. Although there Is
q OcClOeO ulONeIlcuL dSdulSI high power
and the cleared channel, the protago-
nists have been successful In overcoming
this opposition. There are 40 cleared
channels reserved for high power, and
it is the object Of those fostering the
plan to have as many Of them as pos
sible using a power wallop" so that
they may provide radio service for lis
teners in rural areas who otherwise
would be deprived of good programs
coming over big stations.
