Your Baby and Mine
Reason for the Cross Child.

What on earth makes Jimmy so
cross? He does nothing but cry. If I
speak to him he cries. If he doesn't get
his way the first thing he cries. All
Gay long that child's mouth is open,
bowling. It just drives me wild.
When the child is going through the
cross, irritable period between and 4
or Whereabouts it is helpful to look less
at the child. and more keenly and criti-
cally at his surroundings. Just play is
not always enough to keep some chill
dren interested And play interests
change so rapidly, too, that what en-
frances the child ct eighteen months
may bore him to ready tears at two
and one-half years. The kindergarten
period is close at hand with some A
year olds, and they are ready to take up
those new and developing interests.
It is difficult for parents to keep pace
with the child. Just as the mother
gathers what she feels sure is a choice
selection of toys that would keep any
child happy, she finds the child no
longer interested in them. There may
be nothing wrong with the toys or with
the child but perhaps this particular
selection of simple toys no longer
stimulates his interest, or possibly the
toys may be so advanced that he must
wait few months or even years before
they will serve to amuse and inspire
him.
Being cross is not enjoyable to the
child. He'd far rather be happy. He
can't always tell you what is wrong,
even if you ask him. Often he needs
companions his own age. It is pitiful
when lonely child has to develop all
his play interests alone. Some children
manage by bringing an imaginary COM
panion to life, clubbing him Mary or
John and making him the confdant
of their play plans, and a participant in
them. Sometimes these rather pathetic
substitutes for flesh and blood children
grow more real to their creator than
any child on the street. There is dan
ger in letting this go too far, for play
companions never criticize, they never
quarrel, they never differ with their
small companion and children can't
develop normally under such placid and
ideal conditions of play. They have to
learn to meet adverse situations and
hurdle obstacles.
If the well child is cross, the mother
must cease being satisfied with his sur
roundings, no matter how splendid they
seem to her. We have a leaflet con-
tanning lists Of toys and play apparatus
which may help TO decide what may be
wrong with the present assortment of
playthings send a self addressed
stamped envelope with your request
please-then the next step is an even
deeper one. Is it need for companion
ship? Physical handicaps? Fatigue is
state of which all children are not
aware. Or just lack of inspiring play
material? There is always a reason
why little boys and girls are cross.

Bedside Table,
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

When Janet was convalescing from
an illness longed for a small table
for her bedside. Finally thought of
wheeling my sewing machine close to
the bed and opening the lid back over
the bed. 1t was just the right height
to set her tray on at mealtime and be-
tween meals she had paper dolls and
her playthings on 1t. As she was able
to reach all these things easily, she
could entertain herself for some time
while was busy about the house.

need not be a professional to make
them successfully, but one must have
patience and the willingness to take
pains.
The tab trimming as shown in the
sketch calls for bias strips of material
usually of the same sort as the dress
on which they are used. This gives a
smarter effect than contrasting ma
terial. The strips are turned in along
the edges about a quarter of an inch.
The ends. that are to be tied are also
this. the strips are basted very care
fully to the dress. The ends are tied
and basted. Then the applied strips
and tied ends are carefully stitched
down to the dress.

Peter Rabbit sat on the bank of the
Smiling Pool and Jerry Mustrat sat on
the end of log a little below him
Jerry had just seen a stranger APP
preaching. At first he had taken him
to be Longlegs the Heron. Peter had
thought it was LonglegS, too. The
stranger flew like Longlegs. His head
was drawn back between his shoulders;
his long legs were held straight out be-
hind him, and his great wings were
beating in slow. steady strokes; all of
which was very like Longlegs the Great
Blue Heron. But in one other respect
he was wholly different.
Hes all white!" exclaimed Peter.
Anyway, he looks all white. Perhaps
it's the way the light strikes him"
Jerry Muskrat shook his head NO.

TAXI BILL IS UP
BEFORE HOUSE
GROUP TO-DAY

The Mcleod bill requiring taxi
cab companies and operators to
show financial responsibility"
was to come before the House
District Committee today. Senti-
ment in the committe, following
. recent hearing at which Chair.
man Mason M. Patrick, of the
Public Utilities Commission, ap-
peared in support of the bill, is
thought to be favorable and the
Dill may be reported out this
afternoon.
General Patrick has written O
letter to Acting Chairman Mcleod
suggesting various amendments
which would broaden the control
or the commission over buSSeS aS
well as taxicabs and other public
vehicles.
Mcleod Is Cautious
However, Representative Nc
Leod said today that he was in
clined to stand at present by the
present bill, taking up later the
Patrick proposals. The taxicab
and traffic situation here Is such,
IN McLeod's opinion, that there
should be made a thorough inves-
tigation during the recess Of Con-
gress, the investigating Committee
to have the benefit of the Patrick
recommendations.
The taxicab bill is the un-
finished business before the
Senate District Committee which
1s to hold another meeting be-
) fore the end of the week.
The Reid subcommittee Of the
House District committee con-
Quoted a hearing last night on
the zihlman bill providing for
the election of the members Of
the Board of Education. Among
proponents of the bill were Major
julius Peyser, a former member
Of the school board, and John
ColpoyS, representing the Central
Labor Union.
Both alleged there were defects
in the present system; that poll
tics and political cliques had in
the past played part In ap-
pointments, and an elective board
was preferable to an appointive
board.
Willing to Bear Taxes
Peyser said he thought 30 per
cent of the residents Of the Dis
trict preferred the popular cleo
tion of Board of Education mem
bers, although it might mean a
slight increase in taxes to conduct
an election.
The subcommittee acted favor
ably on the Smoot bill extending
retirement benefits to a small
group of teachers who, for one
reason or another, did not qualify
under the existing teachers re
tirement law.

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Jan.
4 GN.S0.-Tn the hope that the
seven missing bodies lie within
the fuselages Of the two moving
picture planes that carried 10 to
their deaths, naval mine layers
today were to attempt to salvage
the wreckage.
All night the mine layers held
the two smashed planes at the
ends of graphing chains which
reached 800 feet to the ocean
floor.
The two planes crashed in mid
air over the ocean late Thursday
and fell a flaming mass into the
ocean.
The bodies still missing are
those of Kenneth Hawks, 80, di-
rector, and husband Of Mary
Astor; Capt. Ross Cook, NS2, and
Lieut.. Hallock Rouse, 80, pilots:

MANY VETS FAIL
To GET BONUS

Because they do not follow the
course OF current events several
hundred Washington veterans Of
the World War and their benefi-
ciaries have lost their opportunity
to get adjusted compensation from
the Government for their war
service.
No official estimate of the num-
beF of veterans who were eligible
for the service bonus or who took
advantage Of it is available. but
Capt. Watson B. Miller, chief of
the American Legion's rehabillta-
ton committee, estimates that
more than 500 Of them could
have and didn't.
OF this number, many, knowing
OF their opportunity. simply neg
lected it. But. almost incredibly,
considering the publicity it has
received during the last five years
and more, a greater number was
ignorant of it altogether.
Between 500 and 800 appeared
at Legion headquarters Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday to have
applications filled out, notarized
and finger-printed, Miller said.
Almost all had learned only re-
Gently that there was such a
thing as compensation for war
services, though they had been
eligible for years. They found out
just in time, for all applications
had to be in the possession Of the
War Department not later than
midnight Wednesday.

u. S. Diuorce System
Hit By Lindsey

"The House Of Human Welfare,
thus constituted" he continued,
would hear all divorce cases,
and either reconcile the couples
or grant divorces where both
parties insisted upon them after
the State had attempted to effect
a reconciliation through scientific
approach.
where there were children,
stricter. rule with reference to
time for granting a divorce would
be in vogue. The man would be
required to support. the children
and the mother. But If the State
failed to compel him to perform
that duty or found it impossible.
and the mother needed help for
the support Of her children, the
State itself should extend that
help and support so long as she
was q fit and proper mother to
have the custody Of her children.
Gives Views on AlimOny
"Alimony should not be granted
at all in cases where there were
no children, unless the special
fact and circumstances in such
case appealed to equity and
conscience, in which event the
commissioner could make a reas-
enable and proper allowance.
Breach of promise suits, gen.
orally speaking, would be abol-
ished altogether, or If entitled to
any consideration, would be heard
only in the House Of Human Wei
fare.
Property settlement and sup
port settlements would be made
with reference to the facts and
circumstances in each particular
ease.

After several years Of crusad-
ing to have the present divorce
courts abolished, Judge Ben B.
Lindsey and his work are known
the world over. His books, espe-
cially The Revolt of Modern
Youth" and "Companionate Mar
riage," have caused more discus
sion than anything ever written
on these subjects.
Asked to sum up his ideas on
the divorce courts, in connection
with Beatrice Burton'S new serial,
"Lovejoy," which starts in The
Washington Times next WedneS-
day, Judge Lindsey replied:
They are unscientific and ab-
solutely inefficient. Through
these courts most divorces are
had by mutual consent. This is
in violation of the law, but made
possible by subterfuge, collusion,
fraud, and perjury.
while I am not blaming the
judges or lawyers so much as I
am the system of which they are
a part, do blame them for not
showing more intelligence and
frankness in, admitting what they
are doing and assisting me in the
fight to put an end to it.
Urges Welfare Houses
Again. through no fault Of
their own, but that of the silly
system Of which they are a part,
they are in no way equipped to
deal with divorce problems"
Referring to his plan for a
House of Human Welfare, "
which he discussed at length in
Compartments Marriage" Judge
Lindsey said there would be one
for each State.< and each would
consist Of Q conmiSSian et ex-
perts.
