Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We thought we had this subject of
outstanding ears put in its place, for
last Summer we published what seemed
to us innumerable articles on ears. But
here comes another young mother fac
ing the usual problem and feeling that
in some way she can circumvent nature.
Here is the plant:
MY baby is months old" says Mrs.
L. M. D., land can you tell me how to
keep his ears close to his head?
have tapped them back but as soon as
I remove the tape they stand out again.
Is there anything can rub on his ears
to make the cartilage Stiffen so that
they will stay in place after removing
the tapes?"
One must realize that ears, just like
eyes and noses, fingers and toes, are
entirely matter of heredity. The baby
with outstanding ears probably resem-
bles in that particular characteristic a
good many members of his family. The
child who has ears close to his head is
also bearing a family feature and
doesn't represent, as so many mothers
believe a mother who has been con-
scientious about keeping them in place.
The cartilage of baby's ears is always
very soft. They bend over as if they
were rubber or a piece of soft cloth.
Time and development stiffen this carti-

lures of babys body, and nothing we
could rub on the outside would in any
way affect it.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
one can prevent babys ears from be-
ing Tapped over and slept on in that posi-
ton by using snug tape and net cap.
This is more comfortable than adhesive
tape, which pulls each time baby turns
his head. 1t is likewise the consensus
of opinion, and mine as we'll, that out
side of this one legitimate use, a net
and tape cap has no power to make
naturally outstanding ears change in
any way.
We have had many letters from moth
ers who have tried the caps faithfully
and without success. We can keep
baby's ears in their rightful position,
we can prevent him from constantly
pulling at them, which, like constant
thumb sucking, will alter their rightful
shape. We can see that caps are not
too large, so that they do not press the
ear out of position and hold it there
for long hours. Other than this we
must recognize that we grow by ma
tutres ordained plan, and that manipu-
lating ears, nose, fingers or anything
else in the hope of changing their shape
is vain one.

spicuous features. The scenic effects are
typical of Holland. Even a novice car
soon distinguish Dutch silverware just
by the patterns.
Sterling Dutch silver has a little
more alloy in it than English and
American sterling, but it is just as truly
solid silver when marked sterling. It
Is of like quality throughout, and is
never plated when 1t bears the sterling
mark.
In this silver there are many notable
pieces - beakerS, cups, etc. - that are
treasured in museums. The most IA
miliar articles for present home use are
small pieces such as spoons, sugar and
cream sets and mats for hot dishes and
teapots. These mats are of felt or
leather and are topped with the silver,
which forms but comparatively thin
surface. For this reason these hot-dish
mats are inexpensive. They are adj
mirably suited to their purpose and are
among the choice decorative dining and
tea table accessories.

The term Dutch silver" is Elusive.
1t may mean sterling-that is, solid
silver-or the name may apply to the
design rather than the grade of metal
In the latter case the silver may be
plated. In modern parlance Dutch
silver" or at least that found in Amer
lea, is as apt to be plated as sterling.
If the latter it will be marked "ster-
ling so look at the underside of the
ware or in some inconspicuous place
for the mark if you would be assured
that it is solid silver.
The charm of Dutch silver lies in its
distinctive designs. These are generally
IN soft and peculiar finish that may
be likened to oxidized silver, form
of which it undoubtedly is. This finish
accents the pattern, the darkened low
portions throwing the raised portions
or lines into relief, as shadows accent
high lights
Patterns are intricate and distinctive,
covering almost every available spot of
the surface. Figures abound and scenes
are much in evidence, either interiors

Everyday Psychology
Secret Memories.
BY DE. Jesse W. sPRowL.

1t is impossible to be honest in every
respect with other people.
It's next to impossible to be honest
in every respect with yourself.
Polonius laid out an almost impossi-
bic program when he advised the young
Laertes:
This, above all, to thine own self be
true"
Perhaps you have some time or other
gone over your past with an unusually
faithful memory. You succeeded in an
of moment in raking up something that
surprised your own sense of self-hon-
esty. And you blushed in the face of
your own memories. Perhaps.
II you have ever had this experience
with your own memories, you know
what it is to entertain secret thoughts
You have had a peep into your own
unconscious mind.
Freud holds that it is these secret
memories that turn out to be the i'm
portant part of all dreams. He calls
them the latent content" of dreams.
This latent content is so secret, so con-
trary to our conventionalized minds,
that even in dreams it is obliged to
disguise itself in order to get out of the
unconscious. That is why your dreams
seem queer to you. They are made up
of secret thoughts adorned with strange
gowns.
OF course, Freud's statement is fig
ure of speech, rather than an explana-
ton of facts. But how else are we to
talk about the things we refuse to &C
knowledge? Right or wrong, Freud has
succeeded in inviting study of that
l. s. lfNar
to recognize.
Ii it were possible for each to explore
his unconscious mind for himself, it
might then be possible to reach Po-
lonius' conclusion:
Thou canst not then be false to
any man."

My Neighbor Says:

Drop a half or whole walnut
into boiling cabbage and there
will be no odor through your
rooms.
Ink stains may be removed in
the following ways: If white
goods, wash in ammonia; if
colored, wash in sour milk; if on
carpets, spread Immediately with
-four, salt or cornmeal, then wash
with milk. But these must all
be done Immediately after the
ink is spilled. If red ink is
spilled, use strong mustard water.
Keep a jar of petroleum ONT

TurnipS, carrots, parsnips and

with boiled meats, while peas,
beets, beans, corn and tomatoes
are good with either boiled or

New Fashions i'm PIeated Skirts
By MARY MARSHALL.

VIII pleated skirts be worn this
Spring? is question that readers often
ask, and 1t is a question that we ask
ourselves when we take inventory of the
clothes We have on hand.
The answer to the question is that
pleated skirts will be worn, but there is
a decided difference between the pleated
skirt of last season and the season be-
fore and those of today. The side
pleated skirt set on a deep yoke, to be
worn with long overblouSes, has little
place in an up-to-date wardrobe, be-
cause blouses of the new sort are either
worn tucked in or else they are so short
as to extend only a little below nor
NAL waist line
The new pleated skirts are usually
made with q. smooth yoke, and the
pleating is wide and flaring. Some
times the material of the skirt is set in

How Family Diversiies.

1t is just as sensible to diversity the
investments held in your family as it is
to diversity your own
BY this we mean that if you and your
husband, respectively, hold copper, rail,
utility and other stocks they should
preferably not be in the same compa-
MES.
If 1t is possible to select a sufficient
number OF good stocks, you should also
buy stocks which represent industries
In different regions or sections of the
country.
In the past We have too often wit
messed family debacle due to the fact
that husband and wife owned shares
IN identical companies, with the result
that adverse business, a depression or
other crisis affected the entire family
fortune.

You get many hundreds of miles Of
more effective fabrication with this
new motor oil.
New Iso-Vis is, we believe, the
most important advance made in oil
for the automobile engine. Every

can now supply you. Begin today to

1T is incorrect, perhaps, to call this
story complete. The complete
- story would be the record of
mouths of work in one of the worlds
greatest oil research laboratories-of
experiments running into hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
That is past. The important thing
now is to tell you what this new motor
oil which has finally been perfected
will do for your car.
First Of all, it means tremendous
reduction in the carbon nuisance.
New Iso-Vis Oil actually reduces car
bon formation far below most oils
selling today at premium prices.
One reason for this is the fact that
New Iso.Vis is a wholly distilled

oil. Made by special process, its
sturdy body is not obtained by the
usual method of adding undistilled
parts of the crude.
New $50 Wis also makes possible
better fabrication at extremes of tenn
perature-both high and low. 1t not
only gives better starting, and a free
flow of oil in cold weather, but it does
not break down under high engine
temperatures.
In addition, New Iso-Vis resists di-
luton and wiU not thin ont in your
eramkcase. The enormous importance
of this feature cannot be exaggerated.
Ninety per cent of all crankcase dilu-
ton actually takes place during the
first 200 miles of driving. BY over
coming this dilution Iso-Vis assures
you of fabrication not only when your
oil is fresh but right up until the time
you change.
With Iso-Vis, the important reason
for changing oil is not because of
thinning OUTPUT because it is i'm
possible to prevent certain amount
of dirt from getting into the crankcase
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-03-13

THESE Walls show the different amounts
of carbon formed in the same motor after so
hours of running under exactly similar con-
ditions with four different oils. Iso-Vis is at
the extreme right. Carbon in the other vials
isfrom three premium-prioed oils. An inter
esting example of the actual reduction IN
carbon formation made by New Iso-Vis.

The MORE "BoDY" an oil has, the slower
che little ball falls 10 the tube. You can see this
sest at any Standard Oil service station. Notice
not only the sturdy body of NeV ISo-Vis, but
the difference between used ISo-Vis and any
other oil drained from the crankcase. Iso-Vis
does not thin out.

SOME OILS lubricate effectively
at high engine temperatures but
do not work well when the mo-
tor is cold. Others reverse this
condition. New Iso-Vis not only
stands up better under heat but
it gives unusually good results az

Leagues and Clubs Strengthen

President, National Baseball Assn. Rock Island, Jll., Jan. P,- Warm, balmy spring weather and more conservative business methods
 by Class B, C and D leagues are the only ingredients necessary to make I93O q banner year for mi nor league baseball clubs.
 All leagues and clubs have strengthened their positions during the fall meetings by many sales. trades, purchases Of players and by the formation Of new alliances,
 making the outlook bright.
 Many indications point to greatly improved weather conditions for
 193o. A return Of the warm balny
 spring weather such as prevailed
 prior to 1920 will do much to re awaken baseball interest and ma tcrially increase attendance. The
 late. cold and disagrccable spring
 weather of recent years has done much to lessen our patronage. When the baseball fans cannot sit in comfort to watch their favorite
 clubs in the early spring games, they soon become impatient and seek
