OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO pATRI.

Mother, read this book to me-"

When children are little, it is right,
and necessary, to read to them. That
is the way we begin to interest them
in books and reading. Even then there
must be in the back Of our heads the
idea that We are teaching them TO read
books for themselves. We do what We
can to get them to read along with us.
Little children learn to read by lis
tening to you read the favorite story
again and again and watching the lines
on the page as you read. For this it Is
well to select a book that has clear
type, open-spaced lines. many pictures
with good captions and a beloved tale
like Peter Rabbit.
Snuggle the listener in the curve Of
your arm, read along slowly, now and
then put your finger on an important

one, day after day. and soon you'll see
a little finger pointing and hear wee
voice chanting Peter Rabbit" "in the
garden Soon that little voice will be
reading the captions under the pictures
The child is reading.
There must be no notice taken of
this, more thar to say: Right. First
rate. Soon you'll read the whole story
point, Soon you'll read this story for
yourself"
Once the child has mastered the
reading Of simple .Stories-along about
the time he gets into the third year
give him books Of his own. Do not ex-
pect him to read the whole of them
independently unless he is an unusual
reader. Read with him. Let him read
all the easy places, the conversation.
the short paragraphs. and YOU do the
closely written lines that tie the story
together. You save the child fatigue
that way. and so preserve his interest
Reading aloud is a fine evening pas
time. But the family ought to take
turns. The children must be weaned
away from listening to reading for
themselves. When a 10-year-old child
begs you to read to him and refuses to
read for himself, one or two things
have gone wrong. Either you have read
to him too long, and he has formed the
habit Of listening rather than reading,
or his eyes are bad and he needs the
help of skilled specialist.
Reading is such a precious habit
that we must covet it for the children
and do all in our power to cultivate
it. Reading aloud is the beginning
reading to oneself the final accom-
plishment.

MAY FLIES.

M dance! Such mad whirling
wv @ and svay s5s .s sach o sof1
Couples flying together, rising
and falling with wings outspread. the
dance of the May flies is a gloricusly
happy affair.
The family name means lasting for
a day." and the grown May flies never
see the sun rise. Through their trans
parent bodies you can see the pulsating
OF their hearts. They have delicate
wings with a fine network of veins.
The forewings are large. the hind wings
very small. From the tip of the slender
abdomen float thread-like streamers.
Near stream, river or pond great
swarms of the grown May flies will ap-
pear. Sometimes they cling to the sides
of buildings or stick to your clothes.
You may hold them by their wings.
They are gentle and fearless. They
do not take food. Their mission in
life is to see that the family does not
die out and then their short span Of
life Is over.
Watching the merry dance OF the
May flies. you will notice one break
away from the crowd. She rushes toward
the stream or pond. The young bride
folds her wings and steps on a stone
in the water. She presses the surface
with the tip of her abdomen. then,
wrapping her wings about her, she
fastens two masses of eggs to the
smooth surface Of the stone. There
are from 80 to 300 eggs carefully
anchored to the stone with sticky
substance. The fragile mother is often
washed down stream before her task
is completed, 1t not. she crawls to
the surface of the water and clings
to a plant. BY night all of that gay
dancing crowd are dead.
In one month the little eggs hatch

lives they are strict vegetarians They

strong jaws and feathery antennae
They are provided with thin-walled.
leaf-like sacS, called traceal gills, which
are located on the sides of the abdomen
The tiny gills set up a vibration and
draw currents of fresh aerated water
to the little swimmer. On each OF six
feet is one claw and at the tip of the
body are three feathery streamers.
The youngster grows rapidly, out
growing about 26 coats. From June
until October he swinls. eats and out
grows his clothes. When ready to grow

usual looking May fly leaves the water

held straight up and he holds this po-
sition for l8 to "a hours. May flies
are only the insects that mott after

rods run across them high enough to
escape the top of the head of even the
tallest person. Sometimes this means
having them extend from holdings
firmly screwed in position Better than
this, however. is to have cleats on which
rods rest, or to which they are fastened.
AS these rods are at right angles to

them will be parallel with the wall.
Wire coat hangers or modem wooden
ones are SO slender that from three TO
six can be suspended on a single rod.
Even with frocks on them they will
take up very little room. The space
between rods should be a little more
than the width of a coat hanger thus
allowing sufficient room between for
hangers on one rod not to interfere

Browns Boy. that he could study them
to his hearts content.
In general they looked like sheep,
but never had he seen a ram with such
great massive curved horns as those
Bighorn wore, and never had he seen
sheep without woolly coats. These
coats were not of wool at all, but of
hair. 1t was not long hair such as
Billy Surefoot. the Mountain Goat,
wore, but more like the hair of Light
foot. the Deer.
After a good nap the lambs awoke
and began to gambol and play much as
he had seen lambs at home do. They
would butt each other and push each
other about They would make funny
little jumps. One leaped over his

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.
Treatment Of Linoleum.


A careful housewife writes asking
how to treat her new linoleum to keep
it fresh and in good condition
The right method of treatment de-
ponds to some extent on the kind of
! linoleum she has. The most important
thing, though is the same whatever
kind it is. That is, don't abuse it.
/ Don't drag heavy furniture across limo
| leum without expecting to scar and
mar it. Don't allow it to go I'M
| brushed and then be surprised when
! you find it spotted and stained. Limo
leum repays care Of that sort.
II 1t is inlaid linoleum. the best
method Of treating it is to give it a
coat OF wax every once in while, Just
as you would parquet floor.
I know plenty of linoleums that are
not waxed. But they stay in much
better condition, are kept soft and
smooth and disable much longer If they
are waxed.
Printed linoleum should be shellacked
or vanished with transparent, colorless
varnish when it is first laid, and often
| enough thereafter to keep it glazed
! This keeps moisture from reaching the
! real surface of the linoleum. and so
protects it just as it does wooden floor.
! The vanished surface is then washed,
with clear water, often enough to keep
| 1t clean.
| The only trouble about the waxed
finish to inlaid linoleum is that waxed
surface really shouldn't be washed. And
you can't possibly keep a kitchen floor
clean without occasionally washing it.
| Well, then, once in while, remove the
wax and put on fresh coat. Perhaps
just removing the wax will clean the
linoleum sufficiently If not, you can
have it washed with clear, lukewarm
water and thoroughly dried, and then
| rewaXed.
The wax can be removed with a spe-
cial remover that comes for the purpose
or with turpentine.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Repression.

Nature is conservative. Her aim is
to preserve or revive her established
forms. In physics this conservatism is
called inertia: in history. "repeti-
ton; in economics. cycles; in psv-
chology. repression" or a turning back
to the days that are gone.
For centuries the we'll known, but
much misunderstood. disease called
hysteria was veritable no mans land
for medicine. Since Freud 1892 hys-
terra is known more and more as a
psychological repression; an attempt
to meet obstacles by going into re-
verse: flight from the realities of an
everyday life to the unrealities of in
fantilism. Hysteria is mistimed child
hood, at least in many cases
Another form of repression is known
among adults as flying off the han
die" 1t is then that the bewildered
and annoyed adult temporarily revives
the common childhood propensity to
indulge in temper tantrllms." It's an
innocent sort of behavior among chill
dren; serious symptom among adults.
A still more subtle form is called pro-
crastination. When one delays doing
the disagreeable, one merely makes the
childish gesture of pushing the dis
agreeable aside.

Do Bangs Cause Pimples?
Dear Miss Leeds: I have pirnples
on my forehead only. Do you think
this is because wear bangs?
VIVIAN.
Answer-Bangs do not usually cause
pimples, but they might If one is not
careful to keep the fringe of hair clean,
especially if it is thick and oily. It
would be a good plan to wear your hair
some other way while treating the
pimples. Wash your face daily with
soap and water and after rinsing and
driving it battle the pimples in boric
acid solution. peroxide or other anti
septic The ripe pimples may be care
fully pricked with a sterilized needle
and the contents expressed. Battle
again with an antiseptic. Wash your
hair once a week. Be sure to keep
your digestive tract in order and drink
six to eight glassfuls of water daily.
