Child Study Association Director Opposes All
 Corporal Punishment

Baltimore (UP)-When your child eats all the sugar in the bowl, don't spank him-cnll the doctor, Mrs Marion M. Miller, asso- ciate director of the Child Study Association of America, advised parents at the 10th anniversary conference of the Baltimore Dis trict Child Study Association.
 Mrs Miller said that such a prank should not be placed on a disciplinary plane. She said that if a child displayed excessive lik- ing for sugar a physician should be consulted.
 She urged mothers not to make an issue of untidiness. She op- posed all corporal punishment.
 In reply to questions concerning the lying phase of child behavior, she said truthfulness is a matter of education and not an instinct. She believes eort should be made to discover why the child lies and the cause removed, without intiict- ing punishment,
 pr Sidonie M. Grenberg. direc- tor of the association. urged par ents to allow their children to ex- pertinent with money.
 She said children first should be given small amounts as extra spending money.

 sacks of loose hair off of Poten- tate, the camel, that permitted new winter coats to grow better. Cfocodiles had their teeth trim

general strike there.
On March Quickly
A total of 4,600 men, recruited
from virtually all sections of the
State, shouldered arms and
marched to posts of duty within
a few hours after the general
strike was ordered.
Several hundred others were on
mobile duty in the nearby East
Bay cities-Richmond, Berkeley,
Alameda and Oakland.
Approximately 3,400 guardsmen
were ordered into Minneapolis
late yesterday after nearly two
score persons were injured in q
clash between striking truckers
and police who were escorting a
truck from the market district.
Ready for Cali
Although no guardsmen have
been called out in Portland, Ore,
scene of other strike disturbances,
1000 are held in Camp With
