Handicaps
Treatment Should Be
Given as Soon as
Defect is Noted.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

VOU, vino have perfect hearing. who
can hear the soft rustic of the
leaves whispering to the coming rain,
who can hear the first cheep of the
birds morning song, who never miss
a syllable of the beloved voices about
you, please consider for an instant
the child who Is hard of hearing
Cast up the sum Of joy he must
subtract from his life. Measure-you
cannot, but for this moment try
measure the amount of usefulness he
must subtract from his mature life,
and then give thought to helping the
unfortunate one.
There are hosts Of hard-of- hearing
children of pre-school age. Nothing
is being done for them, but much
could be done. They could be taken
to the specialists, their defect tested,
measured and treated. The parents
of these little ones could be taught
how to help them SO as to check the
progress Of the deficiency, or, failing
that, how to best overcome it.
Parents do not always know that
their little children are hard of hear
ing. The defect is discovered when
the children are of school age, but
1t is not so easy to detect in infancy.
If child does not jump and turn
his head when door slams behind
him, better be suspicious of his hear
ing. If he seems to be slow in CATCH
ing your meaning, suspect his hearing.
If he has had illness, test his hearing.
1t is precious possession which, If
once damaged or lost, cannot be easily
restored. Nothing makes up for the
loss of hearing.
The training of the rd-of-hearing
child should begin as soon as his
deficiency Is discovered. Do not try
to correct it by shouting at the child,
by scolding him for inattention. Never
say, You could hear If you wanted
to-" That is cruel. Don't ever lose
patience with him, but make every
effort to get help for him. Only the
specialist can be of real service. He
must examine the child and prescribe
treatment for him. Then the special
teacher, usually attached to the spe-
cial staff, or to the clinic staff, will
teach you what and how to do for
the child. The earlier the start
Of remedial treatment the better hope
Of success there is. Don't delay.
Respect a child's ears. Never pull
them. Never box them. Never touch
them, save to wash them gently. Don't
put drops of anything into a child's
ear until the specialist tells you to do
so. When the child complains of an
earache take him at once to the spe-
cialist. The longer you delay the
worse the situation becomes. Ear
ache is one of the most painful ex-
periences a child can have.
Teach children to cover their ears
in stormy weather. The little ones
who 60 to school on cold, snowy days
ought to have caps with ear laps.
Remind the children not to hold their
noses tight and blow hard, because
such a performance is likely to injure
their ears. They are to use their
handkerchiefs as gently as possible.
They are to remember that noses
and ears are connected and both must
be treated with respect and gentle
ness. Otherwise they are likely to
cause plenty of trouble,
Are you sure your little child hears
accurately?

Grateful: Thank you for your nice
letter. am glad my column has had
valuable hints for you. If your hair
is normal, it does not need any extra"
care before a permanent. The usual
brushing, one or two warm oil treat
ments and scalp massage should be
fine. After the permanent, continue to
brush your hair, massage the scalp
and give yourself the oil treatment
occasionally the night before the
shampoo. I have bulletin on "The
Permanent"-also several bulletins on
Hair Care" (rules for shampooing
the hair at home, ect) which I am
sure would be of help to you If you
would send a self-addressed envelope
and please repeat your question.

forward foot in front Of the center

H. P. L.: To hide the defect of q

he comes home he doesn't want to

Women also make their husbands

DEAR MISS DIX have been en-
- gagged to a young man for six
years. He wants TO get married, but
We have no money saved. We both
work steady and I would continue to
work after We are married. About
year ago he borrowed sum Of money
from me and so far he has been un-
able to pay it back. I feel that if
don't get it now, before we are mar
ried. that will never get it. and it
means quite a bit to me, because
worked hard to save it. Do you think
we should wait until he is out Of debt,
which may not be for years, or DO you
think as long as We intend to be mar
ried some day it will be better to for
get about it as long as We will be
working together? MAUD.
Answer: My advice to you is to
forget it if you are going to marry the
young man. His paying you back will
be a mere gesture, anyway, because all
that you both have and make will go
into a common pool. But when say
forget it mean just that. Forget
the money. Don't marry the lad and
then be forever throwing in his teeth
the fact that he owes you money that
he has not paid.
1t is a pity that money should spoil
loves young dream, but, alas, such is
the case, and you are wise to thrash
cut the whole problem before mar
riage instead of waiting to fight over
it afterward Marriage should be a
business as we'll as a sentimental part

in common, especially the pocketbook.

YOU think is the most likely
to give in after marriage, the
~ husband or the wife? Which
are more tyrannical, men or women?
GIRL AND BOY.
Answer-The generally accepted
theory is that the man is the head OF
the house and that the wife meekly
gives in to his wishes and obeyS him.
But SO far as my observation goes in
America, at least, it is the wife who
rules the roost, and 1t Is the husband
who has mighty little to say in the
house he supports.
I know plenty of men who draw
fine salaries as executives, but who
can't even have hot bread and fried
eggs for breakfast If their wives prefer
orange juice and toast. know plenty
OF men who rule hundreds, sometimes
thousands Of other men, but who can't
boss their own families. And 1 knew
one general of the Army who had his
breast covered with hero medals for
bravery in battle who was scared to
death by a two-by-four wife and
jumped and said eyes ma'am" when
she spoke to him.
IF YOU will look around among your
own circle of acquaintance, you
will observe that in SO households out
of 100 it is the husband who has to
adapt himself to his wifes ways. To
begin with, it is nearly always the
wife who picks out the home and the
furnishings of it and allots the space.
II the man wants to live in a big,
comfortable old house in an unfash-
ionable part of the town and his wife
prefers a sardine-sized apartment in
a swell neighborhood, you don't have
to ask what their address is. 1t is
always the Swagger Arms.
If the husband likes sophisticated
highly seasoned food and the wife
was brought up on plain cooking, the
husband spends the remainder Of his
life eating roast beef and boiled pota-
toes. If the husband likes to step out
anu Tie Wlle pIGIeIS SJdJlIIS dL IlOiIe,
the husband goes domestic, or else
there is a continual family row.
When either party gives up his or
her church for the sake Of harmony,
it is nearly always the husband who
does. And, as general thing, it is
the wife's family who camp in the
spare room and the wife's people who
are helped in times of need instead
of the husbands. A hundred times
more men support their wives parents
than their own. 1t is common thing
to see a wife change all of her hus-
bands habits and tastes, but it is
rare thing for a woman to adopt her
husbands even when she knows that
he is more intelligent than she is and
has had better social advantages.
X
THE reason for this is not that men
are more easy-going or adaptable
than women, but that they are more
peace-loving. A man gets all the

days before Christmas. Ana
what hectic days they are!
~ Last-minute gifts for Aunt
Sue and Cousin Mary, Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Brown. If they happen to be
'homebodieS" your concern should
not be such a serious one, for there
are ever so many attractive and useful
items one can give for the house.
Make a tour, for instance, through
the linen departments in some of our
local stores; you will discover a varied
selection of useful and beautiful gifts.
SHEETS-linen or peroale-half a
dozen, or in pairs, with pillow
cases to match, are cleverly packed in
neat boxes and attractively wrapped
all ready for Santa's sleigh! The mon
ogrammed ones make really per-
sonaliZed gifts. Smart finger towels
pure white, rich cream or brilliant
colored nnen-with either initials or
individual motifs, hand-embroidered-
come to the rescue for a hostess"
gift. They are boxed in sets of two
and six and are amazingly low in
price. We saw a stunning pair made
of imported, handwoven linen, with
an interviewer design and border. The
smart two-inch fringe gave a genuine
peasant touch. Guest towels may be
found at little cost, and two or three
of various colors make a very at
tractive gift for neighbor or an out
of-toUn friend. And don't forget the
smart bath ensembles-towels, mats
and cloths to match. They come
in dashing colors and may be mono
grammed to order The deep maroon
with white moderniStic initiating is
especially striking.
DURE Irish linen face towels in del
icate pastel tints, or white with
colored borders, six or dozen, have
great gift possibilities, as do linen tea
towels. If you want to give the very
newest in tea towels you will choose
either the Scotch plaid ones or those
of Roman strip-they are stunning,
and ideal for the cottage or apartment
kitchenette Dish cloths are now
made in bright colors and in neutral
shades with vivid colored bands. A
dozen or two of these with tea towels
in harmonizing colors should please
any woman. Though wash cloths do
not seem quite as interesting as other
items to give, any sensible person
would appreciate a score or two!
