Should She Accept
This Mad Proposal?

NORMA KENT was a stenographer and Mark
Travers a miHionaire's son. She had known him less than
three weeks yet they loved each other desperately. Should
she marry him in the face of his fathers threat to cut
Mark off penniless? Should she entrust her future to
this comparative stanger and count the world well lost for
love?
Norma's answer is told in Guilty Lips" the new
serial by Laura Lou Brookman. It's a glowing love
story packed with action and suspense. You can't afford

Your Baby and Mine
M MYnrLE MEYER ELDRED.
The wen Timed Baby.

The purely mechanical routine OF 9
baby's day is easy to learn and, once
learned and carried out day by day
without much alteration, it inevitably
becomes automatic, both for the mother
and for the baby. The baby who has
been well trained to habits OF regularity
Is o more dependable warning of the
hour than clocks, train whistles, radio
programs or the sun in the heavens.
Those mothers who allow chance and
immediate convenience to dictate the
hours at which the baby eats and sleeps
and is bathed. soon find that they
haven't a minute they can call their
own. Fortunately this type is diminish
ing In number. II is so surprisingly
easy tc accustom q baby to demand his
meals at regular hours, and to sleep by
the clock, that one wonders why any
mother would do otherwise, If only be-
cause regularity Is the really easy and
convenient way.
Naturally babies do not come into
the world equipped with q program
Of regular habits. The routine has to
be planned before they are born, and
put into effect Immediately. Then
within six weeks, the baby will begin to
tick at particular rate of speed.
went into a hospital caring for
prematures in incubators. There the
tiny, wax doll babies, one after the
other, In their glass and metal cubicles,
lay peacefully sleeping. But at the hour
Of their feeding, as II they had been
simultaneously punched. they opened
their eyes and began their feeble awah-
awaiting. Such precision in such mites
was not only amusing but illuminating.
And the doctor and nurse in charge said
they varied hardly minute in the &C.
curacy of their awakening.
When mothers are in the process Of
training babies to keen such regular
hours, they must establish the waking
habit by arpusing the baby both day and
night on these hours until he has learned
the habit. The first three days Of baby's
life he is awakened every six hours, then
after that once every four hours, thus
6, 10, 2, 6 and 10 and at night.
When babies persist in waking at odd
hours, not mentioned in the "books, !"
the mother can give drink of water,
change the baby's position, make him
comfortable and send him of again.
Obviously. 1t is easier to train the well
fed child than one who IS wide-awake,
as are all hungry babies. If 1t is i'm
possible for the baby to wait or
4 hours between his meals. it isn't be-
cause the interval is too long but be-
cause his nutrition IS faulty. If he is
constantly awake, gnawing his fist,
whimpering, sleeping with one eve open,
ready to jump at the least sound, It is
his diet not his schedule that needs
attention.

Fun and instruction in Games
By LYDIA Ii BARON WALKER.

an element Of instruction In them
whether these are for children or adults
Numerous games are as good fun for
grown persons as children. Therefore
the pleasant habit Of playing games at
home can supply diversion plus instruc-
ton for all members.
Recently knew CT q child who was
able to skip q term Of arithmetic when
entering school because he was so good
at calculations acquired through play
| ing domin0es akthome. He was the envy
Of ether children since arithmetic plays
large part in promotions, especially
In the early years Of schooling. His
ability to add, subtract, ETC., made adj
vancemsnt easier. The child had no
idea he was learning anything except
how to playst the game.
There are numerous other games
which are founded on calculations such
as the old-time favorites, parchesi and
backgammon, together with all games
Of advancement through counts. Cards
are rooted in figures, the number In q
pack equaling the weeks In year, the
four suits, the number Of seasons; the
cards in q suit, the lunar months in a
year, which are thirteen, ETC. Cards
are advanced fer little folk, but there
are all kinds Of other games, which IA
miliarize the youngsters with counting
up TO 10, such as Spin the Platter and
all those in which something must be
done before 10 Is reached. Other games
stress counting by single figures or null
ttples, such as Hide-and Go-Seek, in
which 1t is stipulated that the counts
are 100 by cnes, 500 by fives, or 1000
by tens before the seeker can open his
eyes and start hunting for those thus
given time to hide.
Games which stress observation are
interesting to play. A good one is to put
collection of objects on table and
after allowing the players to look at
the articles for one or more minutes,
to have them write down the number Of
things and what they are. A bunch Of
variagated flowers may be studied in
this same way and the number, kinds
and colors be written down.
The games given are those children
enjoy playing at home either by them
selves or with parents. The adults viii
be an addition to the group only when
they, too, enjoy playing. There are
games which help train the eye and the
hands, but space does not permit giving
them. If any one would be interested
in having me write about them, please
send in requests directed to Lydia lie

Everyday Psychology

"voices."
In certain forms Of mental Illness
the sufferer may hear voices" The
words heard are sometimes pleasant,
but more often unpleasant They
seem sometimes to be commands, some
times warnings, sometimes threats. The
strange thing about these voices" is
that they are spoken by no one, come
from nowhere. They are falsifications
pure and simple, called, in terms of
medical psychology, haIfucinations.
On the surface it would appear that
these sufferers would not wish to hear
these voices" That's only q part of
the truth. Unconsciously they are
ready and willing to hear" somebody
tell them something, and that some
thing refers to matters that can by no
means be harmonized with ordinary
social conventionalities.
The voices" which the sick hear are
similar to the daydreaIns which healthy
people spin and fabricate. Both are
generated In the unconscious mind as
the individual attempts to effect q sat-
isfactory adjustment to unsatisfactory
conditions. The situations themselves
are sometimes self-made. They are
built out of wishes that are not ac-
ceptable to sober reason and social
sanction.
Somewhere between the "voices" Of
the abnormal and the daydreams of
the normal stand ordinary night
dreams. If you have the same dreams
night after night, it is not unlikely
that your daydreams are but duplica-
tons Of them. Then they take the
form Of anxieties and half-conscious
fears. If this general situation con-
tinues you viii begin to hear voices. -

Of great annoyance to flower

mealybugs not only spoil tree and
