Household Methods
BIZ BETSY 'cALLIsTER.
Quiet Mealtime.

When do you settle scores in. your
house? At what time of the day is 1t
customary for your children to ask for
needed funds, or for you to reprove
them for extravaganza? When do you
bring them to task for not keeping their
hair as we'll brushed or. their hands as
well scrubbed as they should be?
In most households these and other
rather unpleasant matters are brought
up at meal time, and breakfast seems
to be the most favored. meal of the
three in this regard. There are many
men who choose dinner as a convenient
time In which to bring UP the discus
sion of family finances or to unburden
themselves of the business troubles Of
the day; and the children of the family,
seeing that complaints and "grouching"
are in order, follow suit by complaining
of their teachers and their school as
sociates.
The enjoyment of many a well
cooked, carefully planned meal has been
spoiled Just because of this habit, and
for the benefit Of the one who gets the
meals-h for no other reason-it would
be a better plan to consider all such
unpleasant subjects taboo during meal
time
Raising the tone of mealtime con-
versation is not, however, a game that
one can play. 1t takes the cooperation
Of all or at least majority Of the
family.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Placing Things.

You live in space and recognize
everything in terms of space. Geometry
Is the handmade of psychology.
For example, you place a person
when you meet him for the first time.
For, when you meet him again, you re-
call the place first and the name Sec
ond. Further acquaintance is really
made up of a host of related aSSocia-
tions-his name, his business, his home,
his other acquaintance and relations,
and perhaps most of all his real or sup
posed social status, all of which are re-
membered as forms, taking definite
places in space.
Furthermore, you recognize an ac-
quaintance by set Of personal features.
To name them in the order of their
probable importance, eyes, mouth, hair,
chin, walking gait, ears, voice. These
items can be tested for their relative
geometrical significance. Let a person
whom you know very well change the
style of his eyeglasses, and you at once
notice the difference. Let him shave
his muStache or grow one, and your
recognition almost completely vanishes
for moment. A different style in
dressing the hair, or its growth, or its
change in color, is probably the third
most important item.
Placing a person once met, then, calls
up an image of some locality. To this
you gradually add personal and bodily
traits. making a grand complex of as
ISOLATED items. Our working who's
who" is really where's where with the
trimmings.

SPRINCTIME

To the real nature lover, every years
calendar has certain hours OF certain
days that are lettered in the gold capi-
tails of pure delight They are for him
the supremely happy hours Of the
twelvemonth, and he usually has no
difficulty at all, after his own taste, IN
naming you his favorite dozen; his only
trouble will come in keeping 1T down,
even to a bakers dozen.
Almost everybody would give at least
out of IL awards to some aspect Of
bird life; above all to the Songs of birds.
But how really wonderful are the sorts
Of music that do not come from that
miniature marvel, the vocal chords Of
the birdsl The last ventriloquistic cry
ing of the cricket in the cellar, in Au-
tunn, for instance, or the roar OF bee
in flower on a blue-and-gold June
day. But most of us would vote the
geological class of insects not more
than 2 places out of IL. Perhaps l
am nearly unique in wishing to save
one place f.. the humble amphibians-
the tribe of the frogs and toads.
There comes a moment in some chill
green Spring twilight when the Potomac
runs high and boiling and yellow, ana
the full ponds brim to the margin and
over it, and the first green fronds OF
the cinnamon fern uncurl, when the
tree frog begins to trill. Most people
think it is the thrilling of the first pond
frogs; but their voices will not be heard
for some time yet, and it is lusty and
a Grass sound in no way musical, but
rather laughable, and it issues, OF course,
only from the low grounds where the
wild blue flag blooms in May.
The tiny green tree frog is even at
home in the hills, wherever there is a
wooded patch, and there, as evening
steals across the high, chilly skies,
where the last of sunset glimmers, she
lifts her small, shaken voice in lullaby.
For, almost alone among wild creatures,
the tree frog is endowed with a voice,
in the case of the female, not the
male, and the song is not persuasion
to mating, but PAGAN OF maternal
ecstasy-or SO at least wiser naturalists
than I avow. Without myself vouch-
ing that the tree frogs song is
nanny song, can truthfully say at
least that the first time one hears her
singing through the dusk such delight
descends on one listener as even the
thruSh's evensong can scarce evoke.

Your Baby and Mine

Proper care Of bottles and nipples IS
not to be passed over carelessly. To
properly feed baby arttf1cally depends
not only upon the correctness OF the
formula, but also upon the scrupulous
care given the feeding utensils, bottles
and nipples. Intestinal infections and
sore mouths are just two results OF
thoughtless cleansing and care OF bot
ties.
A reader asks some more questions
about bottle feeding: do you think it
best for q 3-months-old baby to take
his bottle while he lies in bed propped
up with q pillow? What do you think
of mother who lets her baby's bottle
lie around In his bed or stand just any
where? Will you please write In your
column how to give bottle to a baby
and how to take care OF bottle prop
erly?"
When a baby Is deprived of breast
feeding, real deprivation, we should
gladly devote as much time to correctly
feeding him BY bottle as we would If he
were being nursed. AS long as propped
bottle Is full of milk, which doesn't de-
scend inopportunely into baby's eye, the
baby won't suffer. Unless its position is
changed constantly, the moment 1t be-
gins to empty the baby gets equal doses
Of air and milk. This Is @ careless way
herself Indifferent to baby's comfort.
The baby should be held on the lap, and
the bottle tipped at an angle that keeps
the nipple full of milk. Stop frequently
to give baby breathing spell. Change
his osition to encourage the belching
Of any air that he has swallowed.
As soon, as the bottle is empty, rinse
thoroughly with cold water and put
aside to be washed and boiled with the
9TH ivrNA tIA tVaer
Wash with hot soap suds and bottle
brush, rinse, put on stove in large
vessel of cold water and bring to boil.
Fish out bottles, place them on clean
towel and cover with a clean towel until
ready to fill. When filled they must be
kept on ice until used.
Nipples receive the same treatment.
They should be reversible so that they
are easily cleansed on both sides. Dip
moment or two. Too lengthy boiling
soon ends their usefulness. They should
be kept In a clean, covered, glass jar
until ready for use.
Our leaflet on Proper Care Of Bottles
and Nipples and Ways to Mix Formula"
supplements this article. Send a self
addressed, stamped envelope with your
request for it to the your Baby and
Mine" department in care of this news
paper This is a good leaflet to hang in
the kitchen for reference until repeti-
ton has made each step habitual
It Is inexcusable for a mother to al
low baby's bottle to lie in his bed or
carriage or anywhere. Fifteen or twenty
minutes is long enough to devote to a
bottle feeding. If baby refuses to finish
it then, remove the bottle and empty it.
Leftover milk should not be used again.
From the moment milk is warmed it
begins to deteriorate. No mother would
drink milk that had been warmed and
then left standing for even an hour.
Why victimize the baby because he Is
too Young to be discriminating? Such
methods might easily result fatally in
the Summertime.

tied their old nest, which was on q
marshy place not far from the Big

couldn't repair It. They would have to
build new nest. The question was
whether to build again in the same
place or build somewhere else.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLY MONROE.
Soups for Nothing.

Most folk relish a soup course for
every good reason why soup is a good
addition, even to the simplest dinner
menu.
In the first place, soup prepares the
stomach for heavier viandS to come.
We 60 TO the dinner table fatigued and
sometimes overhungry. We tone up
our systems and come back to normal
while partaking of the soup course.
An interesting test for the housewife
to set for herself would be to see
whether she were ingenious enough to
provide soup for her family every night
for a ridiculously small sum. Soups
really cost more in time and resource
fulness than anything else. Here are
some good soup suggestions:
When you have such vegetables as
spinach, carrots, celery, save water
poured from them. This makes a good
foundation for q cream soup. If you
have little spinach left besides, this
should be rubbed through a sieve and
added to the liquid. With the addition
of a little milk, and a little -four and
butter to make the thickening, you have
a very tempting soup.
Always make use Of the bones and
odds and ends of a roast or other left
over meat for stock. To be sure, this
Is not quite so fine in flavor as stock
made from raw soup bones, still it is
excellent, and may be used to make
a clear soup or to flavor a tomato
bouillon.
1t is a good plan 10 have on hand
beef extract to add to soup stock when
it is not very rich. Then there are
preparations. made from the extracted
havors of vegetables that can be added
to any sort of soup to give piquancy of
flavor.

cases, the FIRST thing to do is to massage
the scalp. Unless the scalp Is kept
loose through daily massage and the
circulation kept active so that nourish-

such conditions as dandruff and dry

-OIo Mother nature
Have you ever thought Of how un-
interesting the Great World would be
If every one lad the same ideas? If
all the houses were alike and everybody

people wanted to do the same Ghings,
what a dreary place the Great World
would be. So Old Mother Nature has
taken care that all her children shall
have ideas Of their own and that these
ideas shall change and grow, that life
may be always interesting and living
constantly grow better and better.
The ideas Of Redshoulder the Hawk
and Whitehall the Marsh Hawk are as
different as ideas very well can be. OF
course, each thinks his are the best
Redshoulder likes the Green Forest. He
loves trees. He doesn't care to go deep
into the Green Forest, preferring to
have his home only q little way in,
so that he may enjoy and hunt over
the open country, and at the same time
have his home secluded. AS for the
proper place for q nest, tree is the
only place to be thought Of. Whitehall,
on the other hand. has no use for the
Green Forest. He loves the open coun-
try. He loves it so much that he builds
his home in it and spends all his time
there. AS for a nest in q tree, he
wouldn't think Of it.
IT see," said Redshoulder to Mrs. Red
shoulder, that our cousins, the White
tails, have arrived. I wonder If they
will nest here this year. They'll make
It harder hunting for us If they do.
They have the craziest idea about the
proper place for nest that ever
heard Of"
DO you mean because they build
on the ground?" asked Mrs. Red
shoulder.
Redshoulder nodded. That's it." he
replied. "The idea of a member of the
Hawk family building on the ground.
Yet they always do. I shouldn't think
they would have . minute Of peace
when they have babies there. Just
think of all the dreadful things that
can happen to them there. When we
leave our youngsters to hunt food for
them we know they are fairly safe. 1t
