GOOD HABITS FOR BAD
Mary starck Kerr

MARY OldTCk hGET
How can l break Billy of using
undesirable language, and of saucI-
ness?" asked Mrs. Newcomer of her
neighbor who was a more experien-
ced mother.
"'GoOd habits for bad is my mot
to-" was the reply, and at the won
dering look on Mrs. Newcomers
face, she laughed, then went on to
explain. when my Carl was small,
/ began trying 10 break him of bad
habits by scolding and punishing;
this caused a great deal of distress
to both of us. Then one day after
some of the neighbors's children
had made too free use Of the name
of God, and little Carl had picked up
their expressions, l thought of
better way.
81 explained to Carl that it was
better not to use Gods name that
way and suggested that when ex-
cited he might say christopher Col
umbus.' Robinson Crusoe,' % JOY
or Jumping Crickets.' The last two
seemed quite funny to Carl. and he
went around saying, o JOY and
Jumping Crickets' until the express
sions were fixed in his mind and
came readily to his tongue when an
occasion called for an ejaculation.
when, because of carelessness ON
my part, he fell into the habit OF
whining, I don't want to- when
told 1t was time to come in and get
dressed for dinner, or to pick up
playthings. or go to bed. I took the
time to make the change in his ac-
tivity a pleasant one. Sometimes a
surprise would be awaiting him;
very often l had little joke TO tell;
ALWAYS l met him with a pleasant
Milford chronicle., 1934-08-10

smile. The whining habit was soon
superseded by eager readiness.
Then my Marie used to become
so absorbed in her play that she
never wanted to stop, but would al
ways say. In a minute and the
minute would be multiplied many
fold. So told her that whenever
could l would give her warning
calls. II | called her name three
times. 1t would mean she still had
ten minutes in which to play, II I
called 1t twice, she. would have five
minutes but when l called it once
she must come Immediately. The
habit of coming promptly at a single
call formed quickly, and she was
happier because of It.
II had allowed the children to ac-
quire the habit of throwing down
their wraps and books anywhere
when they came in. They would not
be able to remember where they
had left them. afterwards. Now I
had to correct this. So appointed a
certain table for their books, and
low hooks for their hats and coats
in the hall closet. which was handy
when they came in. Then I took
them to a club to see a checking
room. After that they took turns
playing checking clerk
But the clerk had to be paid for
the three days he was on duty. It
might be an apple. perhaps some
marbles or a cut-out. II was not
long before one child after another
decided he did not need a checking
clerk but could take care of his
things himself. And there really
were remarkably few lapses.''
THAT all sounds like good psy-
chOlogy," said Mrs. Newcomer, as
she rose to go. II shall try to apply
some of your methods with Billy"

admitted to the State Hospital have
not been persons who are actually
insane but men and women who are
mentally aberrated because of the
serious depression" DR.. Tarumianz
continued. They have been con-
demning themselves or others so
that they have become either so bad
or so deeply depressed as to become
subjects for admission to the hOspi-
tai"
DR.. Tarumianz declared cOndi-
tiOns at the hospital will become
even worse If certain adjustments
are not made in the economic sys-
tenn. Even the children of the middle
class, which is most seriously af-
fected. are becoming subjects of
mental alterations due to the de-
preston. he declared.
THE country must think of the
middle class. of the skilled mechan-
les and the clerks who formerly had
a comfortable living. if it is to ov-
ercome this increase in the num-
ber of patients in hospitals of such
character as the State Hospital"
Dr. Tarumianz said.
He called attention to the fact
he had predicted six years ago that
the State Hospital in 1884 would
have 1000 patients. The hospital, he
pointed out. is already housing 974
patients. This steady increase dur
ing the past seven years will not
stop unless the depression is ended.
he predicted.
Many of the patients now in the
State Hospital could be transferred
if other hospitals could take care of
them. DR.. Tarumianz said. At least
35 patients could he transferred to-
morrow to either the Old Age Wei
fare Home at Smyrna or the Della
ware Colony at StOckley. If there
we're room.
DIR. Tarumianz called attention to
the present conditions at the state
Hospital in a report made to the
board of trustees last Thursday.

Peach Markets Active
The peach market season was
near its height around the first of
August with heavy arrivals of FL
bertas from Georgia and the Caro-
linas. Marketing will hardly reach
any great volume later in the season
because of the shortage in the nor
tbern crop. Georgia Elbertas have
been selling at fairly steady prices
recently at IS cents to SIPS per
half bushel in eastern markets.
Haulings are heavy in Georgia pro-
ducing sections and demand limit
ed. Steady market conditions pre-
vail In North Carolina producing
sections where Elbertas are quoted
at $3.50 to $3.50 bushel. The large
Georgia Hales sold as high as $1.75
to $2.75 per half bushel in some
northern markets.
Shipments of western cantaloupes
are much lighter now and many

in quality. pack and size of crates.
and are quoted in eastern markets
