 Washington, Aug S-(U. P.) - Congressmen who carry relatives on the goNernment payroll are be- ing retired at rapid rate, with 23 already fallen by the waysfde.
 Fifteen were defeated for re- nomination by their own parties. Eight saw the handwriting on the wall or for other reasons retired.
 Others are due for retirement. as barely half of the states have held their congressional nominating pri- maries. All survicvors await the voters decision in the general cleo. tions in Novemb Der.
 The casualty list reached into every section, including North Da- kota. Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania and several other states. Minnesota turned up four casualties, Missouri three.
 The payroll racket has figured in numerous congressional contests since the house payroll records were thrown open to pubic inspec- tion as result of United Press dis patches last spring. The United Press revealed that more than 100 members of congress were suppert-- ing on the government payroll. wives, daughters, sons, and in-iaws, some of whom never appeared in Washington.
 One of the hardest fights was in Tennessee. Representative J. Rid- ley Mitchell, democrat. has just been renominated by close vote. He introduced a bill in congress last spring to abolish nepotism and to punish 1t by dismissal. By close vote, which may be contested. he defeated Representative Ewin L. Davis, democrat, wha was charg ed with having sent two daughters to college while carrying them on the congressional payroll.

SELF.CONFIDENCE
In CHILDREN
Expert Opinion on How to
Educate Little Boys
and Girls
A WORD TO PARENTS

Speaking In the weekly broad
cast OF the state department Of
health, DR. s. Harcourt Peppard,
director of the departments bu-
reau OF mental hygiene, to-day
urged parents Of timid children to
give them more self-conhdent
mental attitude.
DR. Peppard described self-con-
fdence as the mental attitude In
which the child recognizes his
capacities and limitations In COM
parison with other members Of
the group In which his estimation
Of himself Is such that he Is able
to make his own decision and to
stand up for his rights; he feels
secure within himself and has a
feeling Of comfort andl ease in the
presence Of others.
The timid child, on the other
hand, Is shy, f-conscious, has
no confidence in himself, fears
making decisions, rarely or never
speaks voluntarily, has few friends.
answers questions almost inaudi-
bly,. shuns strangers and needs
constant urging in their presence
or to join competitive games.
Timid children want to be like
others, but their feeling of made
quacy, lack Of security and fear of
failure in competition prevents
them. AS a result they resort to
day dreaming to achieve fancied
world of their own making in
which II is easier for them to live.
With such fantasies and imagined
achievements dominating them and
becoming their outlet of emotions.
they cannot possibly make proper
use of their endowments. can never
attain any degree of success either
In terms OF their own standards or
In terms of the standards of the
group.
A child's feeling of timidity may
be produced or increased both be-
cause parents may be over-severe
or because they are over-protec-
tive. In the first case. the child
fears to speak or act because OF
the consequences, should he make
an error; In the second, he be-
comes too dependent on the par
ents. relying on them to meet his
responsibilities and falling to build
UP hts own judgment.
The timid child needs sympathy
but not pity. He needs opportu.
nifty to gain satisfaction from his
own achievements rather than to
be held up as an object OF ridi-
eule because OF his unwillingness

The transfer of Officer Bergin
has excited plenty Of comment. The
board OF police commissioners after
three private hearings found no
evidence against the young officer
and referred the case back to the
police department for an investiga-
ton. Captain Frank Cutting and
two sergeants had offered testi-
mony which refuted complaints
from interested parties. Superin-
tendent Mclean when asked today

Officer Bergin stated that no did
not and would not unless someone
came forward with q substantial
complaint ana was willing to testify
against the policeman.

inclined to believe that he IL being

either the management or some OF
the patrons. When Spallone left the
restaurant and attempted to drive
his car he was placed under arrest
by supernumerary John Walsh. In

the case was nolled on the payment
OF o5.
A week later following a COM

Attorney Harry w. Minor, chair
man of the board Of police COM
missioners, n special meeting of the
committee on men and discipline
was called. officers Bergin and
Walsh were cited before the COM
miasioners to whom they told their
story. Later the owners and pat
rons of the restaurant we're called.
After the private meetings the mat
ter was shunted back to tho police
department. No formal complaint
was made direct to superintendent
Mclean. The latter after making
an investigation dismissed the mat.

appear and offer testimony under

The complaint, however. Is now
believed to have resulted In Officer
