CHILDREN GET
WORM'S-EYE
VIEW
By Constance Cameron

By Constance Cameron
livery day and every week
seems to produce new OBJ
Stacles to beset us when we try
to concentrate on any one sub
ject. There are more interests,
more noises, more responsible
ties and more frenzied speeds
confronting uS every moment,
until 1t isn't any wonder that
some OF us stall our motors, or
accidentally get into reverse
and roll down to the bottom
Of the hill.
And whea we consider that
things look even bigger, even
more important and more hur-
ried to little children than they
do to us, we can well wonder
how they ever pin their thoughts
on one thing for any length Of
time at all.
And we don't help them
much. We interrupt. We send
them on a million trivial er.
rands. We insist that they 60
to dancing school, that they
practice, appear in recitals, that
they do a thousand and one
things which wrench them from
their business Of living, which
in early childhood is play, unin-
terrupted and unguided as much
as possible.
We begin away back in baby
days to Shatter a child's power
Of concentration unless we are
careful. Baby is sitting on the
floor, gravely picking UP O
block and putting it down.
Over and over again he does it,
and we say, thinking how
dreadfully monotonous such a
proceeding must be: Here, see
the pretty ball" And we dangle
a bright ball before him until
he reaches for it, or knocks it
away in a tit OF temper Then
we wonder what is wrong with
him.
The block play certainly looks
unamusing to us. But we are
no longer babies. There is
something happening in his
tiny mind when he does such a
thing over and over. He is
figuring out something or
other to his satisfaction, and
our prime duty is to allow him
to keep at it until he is salts
fled and stops of his own &C
cord.
We complain that children
fit from one interest to an
other, yet we don't seem to help
them much when they want
to keep at one thing until they
finish.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett-

For general everyday use, for
the purpose Of keeping the skin
smooth, to clear away atmos-
pheric dust, to allay Smarting
and burning caused by wind
and sun. the cold cream jar is
the good ole fren'. Disappear
ing creams are designed as
foundations for powder and
other makeup. They aren't
Tapped up eagerly by the pores
as are the oily types. Vanish
ing creams now come in flesh
and tan tones.
Pouches or loose tissues under
the eyes may be inherited. II
they come and go, they are
probably 6ue to fatigue or in
testinal organs that are slug
gish. A treatment that is Of
value, especially as a facial
pick-me-up after a trying day
and before the merry evening,
consists Of dipping a pad Of
absorbent cotton in hot water
and applying for three or four
minutes. Then dip the pad in
ice cold water and apply, fol-
lowing with applications Of
witch-hazel. Hot water, with
cold tagging along afterwards,
lessons the swelling.
In a dry climate and in high
attitudes the complexion con-
:,iderS the idea Of suicide. It
trieS to fluff itself away. MoiS-
ture and oil are friendly to the
human hide, and the more
moisture and oil it has, the
softer 1t is and the finer its
texture. A quick steaming of
the skin is all right If followed
by an ice rub. There is no
such thing as giving the COM
pleXion too much cold cream
except when it is burdene6
with excessive oil of its own
manufacture.
When selecting q perfume
don't sniff too many samples.
If you do, your nose will suffer
from aromatic confusion and
won't know what it likes or
what it doesn't like. Some
scents are fragrant; others are
merely odoriferouS. You must
watch out. A good grade Of
jasmine or jonuuil is usually
delicate and refreshing. The
perfumes with catchy titles are
all bouquets, blends of floretted
aromas. Beware Of over-power-
ing synthetic scents: they
wander round and yet always
stay home.

have sketched that are just as
new, in as good taste and as
modeStly priced, from a num-
Der Of Washington stores.
Ten salient points make the
dress right in fashion that is
sketched at the left; the normal
waiStline, the use Of bows, The
bolero, the fact that it is black,
Of flat crepe, that it has low
placed fullness, a longer skirt,
intricate scanning, a tight hip
line. And newest of all, it has
short sleeves. ...
The other dress is equally
correct. It represents the re-
vival Of lace for afternoon and
evening. It is also black. The
little bolero jacket is removable
and shows a dinner gown un-
derneath. The hipline is tight,
fullneSs appears low, the hem
line is more even, and is long
for formal wear. Intricate seam

Injunction to Restrain Rail-

Members.

Portland, Ore. ILNS)-System
Federation No. 100, Railway EN-
ployes' Department, American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has filed application
in federal district court here, asking
an injunction be issued that the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle railway be
restrained from discharging employees
for holding membership in the unions
comprising the federation
Application for the restraining or
der recites that employees have been
intimidated and coerced into joining
the company union" and have been
kept from taking or retaining mem
bership in the bona fide unions. The
case was filed by Fred Ross, member
of the Brotherhood of Railway Car
men, who is secretary of the system
federation.
Several pages of the complaint are
required to enumerate the incidents
cited to prove intimidation and CO.
ercion. Among other charges against
the railway is that it violated a pre-
vision of the federal law in requiring
employees to ballot on their desire for
bona fide union membership in the
presence of their superiors. 1t is
charged that while voting was in
progress officers of the company un.
ion" circulated among the employees
making pointed suggestions that any
who voted against the company union
would lose his employment.
The complaint declares that the
employees are without remedy to
meet the conditions of coercion and
intimidation, excepting by the issu-
ance of an injunction.
Railroad employees here believe that
this is the first suit of its kind ever
filed in the United States court, and
they hope to obtain the restraining
order for their own relief and as a
precedent.

Edward d. Shaw, secretary of the Mer-

likewise changed the merchandising
methods of Washington stores" Mr.
Shaw said.
'Based on recent experience, particu-
larly that since the war, the progressive
merchant today had his conplete holi-
day stocks ready for shopping early in
November instead of waiting until after
December /. The merchant has been
forced to this by reason of the steadily
increasing number of people who insist
on getting their holiday shopping well
started weeks in advance of the general
rush. These people know that by max
ing their selections early they have an
opportunity to examine complete stocks
which later will be somewhat depleted.
They have the opportunity of inspecting
leisurely and comparing gift merchan-
disc and values and the pleasure Of
dealing with store employees who are
