YOUR :. CHILDREN

A mother is worried because a neighbor has suddenly decided not to allow her little girl to play with this lady's small son.
 What am 1 to do?" asks this mother. Robert is little gem tleman and he cannot understand why Ruth won't play with him any more. Ruth has gone off with q new girl just moved here and al- though the three played together beautifully for 6 week or two, now Robert has lost his old friend and he is heartbroken. We two moth- CTS supervised their play and ev- erything was fine-I know there was no complaint to be made in any way. have an idea that the new child's mother objects to boys in general from something she said. Is it all right for boys and girls to play together" told her that 1t certainly was in fact, they should. There has been much talk on the question but 1t is now unanimously agreed that boys are good for girls and girls are good for boys. There should be no sex line.
 In the first place, to deliberate ly separate them, particularly if there are mysterious remarks ac- companying the interference, only makes them conscious of some- thing that should not be there.
 Children, until they are ap- preaching adolescence, have little or no sex consciousness. They like the same things, have largely the same instincts and tastes and fhink nt,1U nP AthAro yNa1v
 Group Interests Important
 If they are guided toward in- tensely interesting activities. play games together, are read to to- gether, have parties together, and particularly are encouraged to group interests, the friendships of boys and girls are necessary to the full rounding out of life.
 From boys. girls learn to be less emotional, they learn to be good losers, think less of their own feel ings and develop an interest in things outside themselves.
 From girls, boys learn consider ation. sympathy, gentleness and alertness.
 I think 1t Is wise to guide the activities of such groups and to fill their minds with u wholesome respect for each other. Certain frank and satisfying talks with them will govern the natural cur iosity of the growing child. Street talk should be disarmed by our own sense in informing them of as many fundamental facts as 1t is necessary for them to know This is an important point v- the age of the child should determine the nature of our conversation. Parents can do harm by over- emphasizing the question of dif- ference. Let them accept dIffer- ence. Let them accept difference as n natural thing. Open frank friendship does not think of 1t.
 The girl or boy who has always played with mixed friends will have right attitude when he or she reaches maturity. To be truthful. there is often great harm done by cooping girls up with girls and boys with boys, then when they are eighteen or twenty suddenly unlocking the doors.

 "Walked!" Ann protested. "All the way across the river? It's miles from your place. What possessed you?"
 "I felt like & walk. Needed the exercise"
 "But, Phil - I shouldn't have dreamed of dragging you right out again if I'd known. You must be very tired. Why didn't You tell me?"
 Ann, in the darkness, could not see his shrug; but she could hear 1t plainly in his voice as he an- swered, "Oh, well, what's tho dif- ference? We had to bring her, didn't we?"
 Mary Frances delivered safely into the Hills bright front hall. Ann said again, But, dear, wouldn't have asked you to como here, not for anything, if I'd known you'd walked so far"

 Nothing whatever. But what Is the matter with you, Ann?"

The day was gray and dreary. That was just the way she felt. and catching sight of herself in the mirror, she knew 1t was the way she looked.
 An, perhaps that was the trou- ble. She was reflecting the som berness of her clothes.
 She realized then, that 1t was some time s!nce she had a new house dress. She was still wear ing some which had been new when she was & bride, three years ago.
 A lecturer at the club had made the point recently that clothes worn around the home set tho keynote of ones own and ones fainily's appreciation of the job of homemaker.
 That afternoon she went to the store and purchased some gay washable print for house dresses. She planned to trim the creamy yellow one with the small brown flowers in brilliant coral. The one with lavender ground would have & sheer edging of clear green, and the red and white one would have a trimming of petalled white rufflc edged with pIcoting.

Rugs are used in these modern times, not only as floor coverings to save wear and tear, but also as decorative features of the room, this being true particularly in sleeping rooms. Such rugs, usual- ly of tufted chenille in plain, heavy solid colors with hand set borders of contrasting tones, are always in good taste for bedroom use. be- cause of their softness, their fast colors which allows of their being

the parents will be notified of the ex-
aminations and may appear with their
family physicians.
The examination will include dental
inspection and where the parents are
unable to pay for necessary work, the
treatment will be given at cost. 1t is
hoped to eventually carry out these

the county children who are cared
for at the Miracle Home, the Asso-
cations Preventorium. The county
is also expected to reimburse the
State Association for any expenses
entailed in the handling and con-
Quoting of the annual Seal Sale
Campaign"
In 1881 mail sale campaign was
conducted in Montgomery County
and was handled by the State Asso-
citation. $2850.0O was raised and
this money was received at the State
Office in Baltimore. The 5 per cent
assessment for the National Asso-
citation amounted to $142.50; the %
per. cent assessment for the State
Association for statewide work was
$712.50. The State Association, after
deducting the 5 per cent for the
National tuberculosis Association,
had on hand $2707.5O. It expended
during the fiscal year the following:
Seal Sale supplies, envelopes,
educational material, let
tiers and labor ........ $1,000
Postage stamps for Seal
Sale Campaign ..... 10000
Clinics in Montgomery Coun-
Montgomery County children OOO'OO
at Preventorium, 10000
For statewide work and Ma
tional Tuberculosis Asso-
citation $500
$2257 90
Deducting the expenditures of
$2257.00 from the receipts ($2S50.O0)
received by the Association leaves
surplus of $4,000.
Mr.. Matthews stated, however,
that the settlement for the 1881 re-
turns would be made on the follow
ing basis:
Seal Sale supplies, envelopes,
educational material, let
tiers and labor ..... $512.00
Postage stamps for Seal Sale
Campaign .......... 10000
Half of cost of Clinics ~ 10000
Half of cost of children at
Preventorium - $500
300, including National and
State assessment ,..,... $500
$1892.OOI
This leaves a balance of $95S.00.
Mr.. Matthews also said that even
though there was deficit to the
State Association for the years 1929
and 1880 that he would recommend
to his Board of Directors that the
surplus from the 1881 Seal Sale,
amounting to $958.OO, be spent in
Montgomery County in the further
ance of the county health officers
