 0OvW -" So Steadfast WoaaaD
Mari" I exclaimed.
By Adele Garrisoa

"Nary." l exclaimed.
 "YeA I know" She gave . dry little smile. Tt does put me in the Katie category doesn't 1t? But honest, I couldn't help it at first. and afterward I didn't want to-"
 I stified my own qualms with my realization of the girls need. and spoke quietly.
 Do you want to tell me about it?"
 She twisted her hands out of my grasp. and raised herself to sitting posture. I saw that there was no danger of any more hysteria. She had herself under control now. and the story she was about to tell me would be uncolored by emotion. Without comment or protest, I rose. slipped some pillows behind her and sat down again. With a smiling "thank you" she wriggled herself into a comfortable position, and looked at me squarely with no tfnge of embarrassment.
 How much time have you?" she asked.
 "All that you wish-and more-" I assured her quickly.
 That's good. I'll need a lot. for I'm going way back to the begin ming of this little comedy-melo- drama-it's a wonder old Phil Verit- zen wouldn't want to make a play of it."
 "Veritzen Is to Blame"
 There was sudden venom in her tone at her reference to Noers father. the man who had promised to make her "the most famous Veritzen ind" I was not surprised at the bitter, rancorous words which next come tumbling from her lips. Hes the one who's to blame for all this" she said. ''the alarmed old pole cat! He just naturally made up his mind that he wasn't going to let Noel fall for me and that he was going to toss him over to Flea nor. though why. the Lord only knows"
 Her big brown eyes fixed on mine suddenly quickened into shrewdness-
 But you do, Auntie Madge, I can sec that" she said. adding while regretted by inadvertent betrayal. But that can wait. I'm telling you something first. Do you remember tho day last spring when ] got a conscience attack and decided I ought to tell deah old Phil about that masked stunt?"
 "Yes," had time only for the monosyllable for she was rushing on excitedly.
 "Well! what do you think the old hop-toad made me promise that day?"

Talks p6& &4&t pat'er,ts!

BACK TALK" (By Alice Judson Peale)

When their best efforts at reason. ableness and moral suasion seem to rouse in the child nothing but the desire to argue and talk back. many parents feel that they have no al. ternative but to return to the strong arm methods of past generation. They feel that the more liberal methods do not stand the practical test of daily situations.
 The tendency in the child to argue and talk back is caused by one ot two things-either the child feels that his parent is not sure of his ground or. more commonly. he feels that his parent is too domneerinR and makes for too many unnecessary demands.
 The normal child sensing uncer- tainty in the adults who are direct" ing him is sure to take advantage of the fact. This is not sign or depravity but of a good healthy ego of the sort necessary for survival in predatory world. Tho youngster who fights excessive domination ia armed in a good cause. His Why should r" "Why must t?" But I don't see why not 'are the most convenient ways of saving himself from obeying flood of demands which would otherwise annihilate his own small individuality. The remedies are simple. Both the dominating and the wavcring parent must try to think out con- sistcnt plan Of action. They must give only such commands as are really essential and sec to it that these arc carried out. They should never permit the discussion of any routine measure relating to health or safety. They should give their orders clearly in as few words as possible. If the occasion is such that it seems wise to give a reason it must be honest and impersonal. not prompted by the convenience of the moment.

 New York, Feb. s-With the re- turn of more feminine styles and ruffles have Ncome back also sentt- mental Valentines.
 And the very latest styles in 1929 love missives are reproductions of the beribbboned and bedecorated lace-paper affairs of the Victorian days
 The alternative from the old timer with cupids. violets and coo- ing doves is the modernistic black and silver affair which made it de- hut this year-very tailored looking. with casual verses couched in the easy bantering style of today.
 Cheesed Crouton Hearts
 Another revival" at the ral- entine counter is the modern ver- sion of the old ''coInic" which used 10 carry such mean thrusts under such vicious cartoons. To- days are smaller. and more ex- pertly drawn, but the old punch is there.
 That Sophisticated Note
 Thus today. smart shops are selling, at smart prices. to sophis- ticated youths and maidens of to- day such sentiments as these: Beneath religions cloudless sky. The virtues bloom. the vices die."
 Or:
 II love thee as I loved the first
 Young violet of the spring. Or the pale lily. April nurs'd To scented blossoming."
 Or such a gem of nanchalancs and daring as:
 Since you're slow to take the hint. Here it is, old dear, in print Will you be my valentine?" Valentines today consider every possible urge for human affection and are made up for grandfather grandmother. the boss at the of. flee, the family doctor. or any ac. quaintance in any walk of life The special cards for children arc 
 The modernistic cards, done ir l bright colors in startling effect interpret the usual Valentino symbols in riotous designs. heart, for example. may be broker into confusion by triangles of thu roseate light of an inspiration which begins at the top of tn page and descends in shafts to tn bottom and over to the back an, then to the inside where tn verse. snappily informs you:

 A Mary's voice. still raucous rom hystsris, uttered that broken cry l gave her no verbal answer at hrst. simply frightened my grasp upon her hands quiescsnt. but still auiverine from the emotional storm which had swept over her.

 knew that in . little while Mary would be bitterly ashamed Of her outburst. Her defiant pride is like that of an untamed young colt. and she also preens herself upon be- longing to the hard-boiled modern young generation to whom any show of emotion is anathema. But the years have many times affirmed to me that human nature never changes" and I know that heart break is still able to tear cff the most carefully adjusted mask.

 'But just think of all those good sssds t c so sasy to get from the surface Of the snew." retorted Dan- ny. Tt would bs | shame not to get then while we can. We wouldn't be so fat nov if 1t were not for those sssds."

 Nanny was as good as her word. Danny couldn't induce her to % up to the surface with him. "Pooh!" said Danny. There's no danger. All we have to do is to peep out and look all around before we climb out. I, for one, don't intend to miss those fine seeds"
 So Danny continued to 70 up to the surface whenever he felt like 1t. He had one or two favorite weeds which he climbed. Sometimes he would go up in the daytime and sometimes he would 50 up at night. for Danny and Nanny are as active at night as in the day. You see. they believe in sleeping when you want to sleep. eating when you want to eat. and going and coming when you feel like it. So Danny got in the habit of using the same weeds over and over for climbing up to the sur face of the snow. And having form ed the habit. he became careless ir the manner of climbing. At first, he would climb very cautiously. Wher he would reach the surface. he would first stop for a while witt only his nose and eyes showing, ans then he would look long and care fully to be sure that no enemy wal about.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS EISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hygeta,

the Health Magazine.
 Increasing evidence indicates more and more the importance of a sufficient amount of good rest par ticularly for the growing child or the nervous adult.
 A British publication has recently secured from three leading physi- sleep in relationship to life in gen. eral.
 A special report issued by the public health department of the London county council noted partic- ularly increase of restlessness and nervousness among children, in many instances due to insufficient sleep.
 Not only are the actual minutes spent in sleep important, but the nature tse sleep, since the child may rest for the normal number of hours without securing the type of rest that is involved in good sleep. Resting for several hours in dark ness and silence while lying down is of great aid in restoring the nervous system, but is not to be compared with the type of restora. ton and repair that occurs when one is unconscious of the existence Of the world in completely restfu sleep.
 Certain animals are so con- structed that they sleep hardly al all. whereas others will sleep al winter long. It is the highly com plicated nervous system of man tha makes 1t necessary for him to ob serve proper periods of sleep nor, than any of the lower anima species.
 The actual facts arc that we hav' not as yet good definition or com prehension of sleep. We know tha the lack of it produces seriou changes in the nervous system. re sulting after brief periods in com plete prostration preceded by irrita bility. Authorizations. delirium an' loss of memory.
 We know that there is tendenc for sleeping periods to come witt a regular rhythm between wakin periods. But none of these facts ex plains the onset of sleep. One vie, was that during this period the brai had less circulation: another that had more circulation. One scientist argued that durin the waking state there was an ac emulation Of the products of ia tigue which brought on sleep. an that during sleep these product were eliminated.
 Other views have 10 do with tn passage Of fluid into brain tissue and with changes in the actions c the glands
 It is safe to say that none ( these views has been sustained b |, sufficient scientific evidence, and ths the actual cause of the onset ( sleep and the tremendous desire fo sleep that occurs have not been es :, ia ablished.

CITIZENS TO AID
IN D. c. zON|NG.
Location of Firehouses and
Police Stations viii Be Given
to Special Committee.

Location Of fire engine houses,
police stations and other public ac-
tivities, which has caused the zoning
Commission and District Commissioners
acute problems in the past, will be
turned over to a special citizens COM
mittee, to be formed in the near future,
the Zoning Commission decided yester-
day. The committee will be made up
