CLORlFYING
 YOURSELF ". By Alicia Hart IE
Ol95ysS NIA 5ER7cg iNc

Let children settle their own quarrels, but don't allow a pug nacious child habitually to ruin your own, child's good tme. 4
 Nothing is so catching as fight ing. If your boy or girl is con- stantly cross these days instead of the peaceful little person he was before vacation, keep an eye on the crowd he plays with.
 If every child in it but one is continuously on the defensive, lis- ten to that other for bit.
 'Now look what you dd," he shouts about something he knows a lie-you take it right back" he yells at another who insists that it was all his own fault.
 It is just too bad to see a group of nice little children trying to defend themselves day in and day out against this everlasting plain tiff and trouble maker.
 Sensitive Children
 After a while they won't wait. Defenders almost invariably be- come .aggressors in time unless they are too sensitive and too gentle to cross words with any, body.
 This type of gentle child suf- fers more than the one who can take his own part.
 Moreover, the trouble with such child is that he won't be im- pressed by the fact that other children like him. It is the unfor- tunate things that root in his mind rather than the pleasant things. A child of a sensative nature can be made very unhappy by another child continually putting him in the wrong. He gets to think he is wrong.
 Some children wll forget un- pleasantrless as soon as the game is over. eat well. sleep well. and

 3. No. All that such 8 state fnent shows is your own private estimate of your state of mind which is a very unreliable quan- tity. If you should sit down with a psychologist and go over care- fully all the circumstanSes that lead up to your wrong doing you would see that 1t might have been helped very easily. The reason you did not help it at the final moment was because you had in- reality been preparing to do it long before. You may have thought you were not, but you were merely kidding your own mind with excuses = which you called reasons" so you could do what you wanted to do when the time came without hurting your conscience.

1. More wives than husbands do this because love and marriage mean more to women than to men and also more women than men tend towards interoversion--livfrig bottled up lives with their own thoughts and feelings However, this is not an exclusive feminine habit. To learn to take what the other partner says and does in an unbiased way for what it is really worth is one of the great achieve ments of a successful marriage.
 2. Prof Edgar James Swift, Psychologist of Washington uni- versity, St Louis, in his fascinating book, "The Jungle of. the Mind," quotes Woodrow Wilson's famous question: Must we always go on repeating the same mistakes 2" and answers it: "Yes, we must and will. until the psychology of habit Is understood; until we learn that adaptatoin with the least ef- fort is an organic tendency.

 DO you remember it?"
 Do I! What do you take me for?" He could not go on, for MT Prentice was entering, red and puffy and obviously disgruntled at being switched from the dean to an obscure and young member or the faculty. But he unbent at sight the background. Perhaps 1t would not be too bad, after all.
 And now Edgar oMreland was coming and Alice, his wife-pink cheeks and curly hair and ruffled pink orkandy-and at the sight of another pretty woman MT Prentice began definitely to brighten. Bar ney was next, tall and gray and skeptical, but also liked pretty | women and cocktails and was much less assertive of himself and his mony and opinions and preju- dices than Prentice, being better bred and surer of himself and hay ing tho advantage of height. He gazed about Mm critically, observed that the rom showed the usual professorial good thaste and lack of means, but that his hostess was an extraordinary creature. Really he had not expected Lowe's little girl to grow up to such distinction. He took his cocktail and slipped it, watching Amy appreciatively.

Jane at her most sophisticated in a bareback golden frock, pointed up with jade clasp on her girdle. Jane expected no competition jn that costume. She had brought il with her, knowing that this was Commencement Week and hoping against hope for one chance to show it off in Marburg where Howard might see her in it. She had not anticipated the luck to wear it in his own house.
 The borrowed maid appeared at the door. Dinner Is served, Mrs Jackson" she murmured.
 Amy led them out, seated them -Howard at the head, Miss Rosa at his right. Yes, and she would put Jane at his left, MT Barney at the foot, Alice at his left and Prem tice between Alice and Jane, leav- ing Edgar and herself to fill the other side.

The Economy of Reduction

Ten million will sooner or later have try at one method or another and perhaps ten thousand of these will succeed in reducing to noticeable degree.

 Now open the pad, dip 1t in ice water, spread it over your face and lie down for ten minutes. Close your eyes, relax your body and try to rest your mind, too. Stop thinking entirely if you can. If not, concentrate on pleasant things.

Girls who put aside thick creams and lotions, substituting liquid cleansers, soap and water and skin tonics during the summer months, should give themselves an occa- sional refreshing home facial. A simple complexion. treatment not only improves personal appearance as well as morale but keeps the skin from getting dry and rough. Try one the next time you have a very special dinner date and see how much more charming you'll look.
 First of all, clean face and neck with quick-melting cleansing cream. Wipe off with soft tissues, using upward and outward move ments and then, with a thick cot ton pad that you can make your self, pat on cold skin tonic. Re-

Born and reared q gentle woman, Anna Roosevelt - now Mrs Dall-refused to lead the cOnnpIacent, often un- eventfuI and sheltered fife of a girl of her position.

By Mary Margaret Mcbride

Although she went to the proper finishing schools, was taken to Europe for travel and polish, stud- jed etiquette and languages, made a debut, and in many ways led the life of other young girls of her age and class, Anna Roosevelt Dall gave promise early that she was not a stereo-typed product of the social mold.
 In the first place, from the time she was five, she always said that she was going to be a farmer. The Roosevelt country home at Hyde Park on the Hudson with it's hun dreds of acres was her idea of the finest home on earth. She con- fided to her father when she was still tiny gim that some day she was strong to manage the farm and make it pay. It never had paid of course. Gentlemen's farms don't
 Everybody duly laughed when Anna made these bold announce ments but, in accordance with the family policy of letting each child think for himself, no effort was made to dissuade the little girl from her unique ambition. Per- haps, though, there was another reason for that. Everybody nat urally supposed that it would die of itself as the girl grew older, but it did not.
 Back to the Soil
 Another interest, however, was added to it. Almost as soon as she could talk, Anna began going to political meetings with her father and by the time she reached her teens, she had pronounced views on public questions and could ex- press them lucidly. Her father, seeing her bent, made habit of talking to her about such matters, and her mother was always engag- ed in work for the civic or na- tional good. Besides much of Am mas life was passed in Washington and Albany in the center of off, cialdom. Before she was out of her teens, Anna had helped in poli- tical campaigns and was thorough | ly at home on the platform. But she still said she wanted to be a farmer. And after her graduation from Miss Chapin's school, one of the most fashionable in the coun- try, and conventional, she &C., tually enrolled in. Cornell Univer- sity for short horn course in agriculture. Her classmates were boys and girls from dirt farms. Many had never been to college I before.
 They found Anna an agreeable girl who was as interested as they were in the chemistry of soils and the best kinds of led for cows and pigs. Nobody at Cornell who did not know beforehand, guessed that the lively girl had gone to finish ing school or been guest of honor at a coming-out party in New York city's most exclusive club for women!

Going in Business

But making speeches was not enough for this active Roosevelt. She accepted the presidency of several clubs and agitated for the political education of all class es. She went on committees and oftener headed them. Her mother began to call upon her for help in various kinds of organization work. But even that was not enough to keep such an energetic person busy.
 She decided to go into business for herhelf and open a children's party bureau.2 She was successful too, but dropped that work to be- come assistant to her mother in the editing of a magazine for parents called Babies, Just Babies" In the magazine office she read man. uscripts, helped her mother select what was to be printed and was known affectionately around the place as Baby Dall. She gave up her editorial work only when tho magazine suspended publication. And by that time, her family was ready to move to Washington.

OUTSIDE WORLD LURE To THE PRESIDENTS DAUG

She was thoroughly in earnest about her projected career and said vigorously that every woman should fit herself. for some work in the world. But the day came when she forgot her plans. forgot everything, except one man. For once she did the expected. She fell in love and promised to marry Curtis Dall. They had the usual big wedding with the customary profusion of presents and settled down to a more or less conven- tional married life. Two children, Anna Eleanor, and Curtis Roose- welt, were born to them.
 But before her little girl, nick named Sistie, was two years old, Anna had begun to miss the ex- citementy of political meetings. She welcomed the chance to get back into harness and joined with Emily Smith, daughter of Gover- nor Al, in an exciting state cam paigh the year after the Tea Pot Dome scandal broke. The Demo- ,crats made the scandal one. of their most telling issues and Emily and Anna drove all over New York in roadster with an enormous teapot rigged up on the front.

types of injuries resulting are as
follows: falls; struck by falling
objects; striking against objects;
handling, lifting or carrying OBJ
iects; burns, scalds and explosions;
asphyxiations and suffocations;
firearms; poisons; cuts and
scatches, and miscellaneous. Ma
tionally the measure of the home
accident seriousness can be rough
ly called one-third of the whole &C
cident problem. Last year there
were 29,5OO home accident deaths
recorded out of a total of 10000
fatalities. Preventive social ser
vice, like preventive medicine, is
coming to hold an ever growing
place in the programs of social ac-
ton. It is one thing to rebuild the
health of a disease ridden body or
a socially and economically demor-
allied home, but an entirely differ
ent and more valuable thing to
prevent such maladjustments. 1t
is one thing to take care of the
wreckage and misfortune of such
maladjustments. 1t is one thing
to take care of the wreckage and
misfortune caused by accidents

tions as the Visiting Nurses Asso-

Delaware Has Made For It,

i'm Accident Prevention
HOSPITAL AN AL Y SIS

The fact that automobile accl-
dents snuff out the lives of a large
number of our citizens each year
is an acknowledged fact and a
great deal of effort is being put
forth to control these needless so
called autocides. Happily here IN
Delaware some substantial pro-
sress in this direction is being
made. While we still have a long
path to tread toward greater safe
ty on the street and highways, we
can, however, point with pride to
the fact that Delaware has made
for itself a national reputation in
automobile accident prevention.
Whereas, in 1924 there was one
automobile death for every two
and one-half million miles travelled
as. measured by the gasoline con-
sumption, we have made Delaware
sufficiently safety conscious so
that now a motorist travels four
and one-half million miles before
an autocide occurs. Few people
realize, however, that the home is
almost as dangerous as the streets
and highways. The average per-
son considers himself to be safest
when at home yet last year in
Delaware sixty of our people lost
their lives in fatal home accidents,
just nineteen less than the toll of
the streets and highways. Will
mington hospitals. together with
the Delaware Safety Council, have

cident cases treated in their clinics
with some surprising results. over
