Both Profit

No one suggests that he per-
form them regularly-he has
his own daily routine of duty.
But let him watch the mother
handling the delicate little
body. Let him learn from her
how it must be tended.
The father with normal affec-
tons and sympathies will get a
lot of fun out of the lessons
and out of putting them into
practice, now and then. It will
be a new experience for him.
The more personal response
bility he assumes for his child,
the more time he spends with
1t, the more things he does for
it, the richer his emotional re-
ward. He will love the baby
better. The baby's dependence
upon him, it's trust, its natural
affection will increase.
That in so many homes a
father Is used as a sort of DOGGY
to terrify little children is a
most unfortunate circumstance.
Even a tired, harassed mother
should never form the habit of
threatening:
"IlI tell your father when he
gets home" or "Wait till your
father hears about thiS-hell
settle yOu."
To encourage a small boy or
girl to think of father simply
as a dispenser of. punishments
is to promote a false and hurt
full relationship.

The Rhynning
Optinnist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
David COpperfield

From out the well.loved book they
stepped
And once again I laughed and
wept
For David'S joys and woes.
With Agnes, Dora, Peggotty,
And daring, madcap Emily
1 saw old leaves unclose.
o, little David Copperfield,
There is no mother but would
shield
And hold you in her arms:
Would brush each shadow from
your face,
And joy in all your childish grace,
In all your artlesS charms!
How much Of magic moved the
Which wrought this mimic world
of men,
Micawber, Steerforth, Heep!
How much of triumph in the art
OF actors who lay bare the heart,
Its passions strong and deep!

self, I would suggest a din
ner party-or a red, white
and blue luncheon, which
ever you prefer. I am CIV
ing you a menu for both.
Decorations should abound
in tiny hatchets, cherry trees,
American flags, ETC., etc. A
pretty and effective conterpiece
could be concoeted out Of red
and white carnations arranged
in a white porcelain vase,
about which you might tie a
big blue ribbon bow. Red and
white candles in the candleStickS
and blue ribbon twined around
the sticks themselves would
further the patriotic idea.
Order your ice cream in
Ratchet molds, and have your
little cakes decorated in red,

There are wonderful red,
white and blue minis, in the
candy shops, and with the
cocktails you might serve little
cheese logs, tied with red.

white china, if you can, and
red glassware if you have it.

More Appreciation

Equally false is the position Of
the father who virtually abne-
gates his position and will an.
swer no childish request. settle
no problem except with the
phrase:
"ASk your mother"
The best way to avoid these
unfortunate paternal roles is for
father to be quietly and help
fully and naturally on the job
during babyhood. Then his
closeness to the youngster, as
well as his needed contribution
Of masculine qualities to its up
bringing, can never be queS-
toned.
Fathers must help take care
Of babies. Mothers must well
come and encourage such help.

assumes entire charge of his in.

appreciation of what a painstak-
ing job mother has to do all the
time!

Marking the Silver

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it considered good taste to
have flat silverware mono
grammed? If so. how many and
which letters would you advise
using? S.
It is excellent taste to have
flat silverware monogrammed.
And the type of lettering and
the design of the monogram are
most important, for those
should, Of course, be artistically
related in feeling to the design
of the silver. Some patterns
seem definitely to call for Script
letters: some for severe block
letters; some, modern patterns,
for modern lettering.
Usually three letters Of the
hostess informal name are used
in the monogram: Grace Brown
Smith uses GBS. A bride-to-be
uses either the initials of her
maiden name (the traditional
custom) or the initials Of her
informal married name.

Easily Learned

Should not that simple salts
faction and trust flatter a
father? He can soon discover
for himself that his youngSter
enjoys being Graded in his
strong arms. Probably it is
this feeling of the mans
strength, with the subconscious
sense of security which it con-
veys, that the baby finds so
delightful.
A little baby, Of course,
spends large proportion OF its
time in slumber. When it is
awake it's father very often is
away at work. Nevertheless. he
probably will be at home Sum
days and Saturday afternoons.
He should neglect no opportun-
ity to get acquainted with his
child and to share the care
which it requires.
Especially in the home OF
moderate means, where the
mother has little or no paid
assistance, it won't hurt a man
one bit to learn the perform
ance of all necessary work
connected with the baby's COM
fort. Then, in an emergency
such as the mothers illness
or necessary absence - neither
father nor child will be help
less.
Bathing, feeding, dressing
and changing the baby are
tasks which a mans fingers
can perform as well as a

BILL
STUDIED BY
SENATE
Subcommittee to Consider
Amendments to Make It
Near Local Scheme

Unemployment insurance for
the District will be considered At
p. m. tomorrow by a subcom'
mittee of the Senate District Com.
mittee. .
The subcommittee, made up of
Senator Royal S. Copeland (D).
New York, and Senator Arthur
Capper (R.), kansas, will have
before it the Ellenbegen bill as
passed by the House.
Several amendments to the
measure will be offered to make
the bill conform more nearly to
the national social security legiS-
lation now in conference.
The local bill, which is much
more stringent than the national
bill, differs in three major points.
EmpIOye Tax Out
The first difference, which will
be subject to amendment. is the
provision which eliminates con-
tributions from employees. ID
Under the terms Of the Ellen.
bogen bill the insurance fund
would be built UP by 3 per cent
pay roll tax on employers in
creased by per cent contribu-
ton by the District Of Columbia.
Those who advocate a contribu-
ton from employees argue that
the employees would evince more
interest in the plan if they also
contributed and that this alter
nate system would lead to better
administration of the fund.
Another difference is in the
manner in which the contribu-
lions would be levied. The ma
tional legislation calls for a grad
uated tax from one per cent up
to three per cent over a period of
years. The local bill calls for a
three per cent pay roll contribu-
ton at the start.
Record Rules Tax
It was originally intended that
after the law had been in effect
a certain number Of years the tax
would fluctuate in comparison to
the record of employment of the
employer.
If he had a good record for
keeping his employees on the pay
roll the tax could drop to as low
as one and a half per cent. If
his record was bad the original
bill called for a tax increase to
five per cent. The reduction item
was cut out of the Ellenbogen bill
on the House floor because it was
not believed the national bill
would carry this provision. Now
that it does, an effort is expected
to be made to bring the two
measures into conformity on this
problem.

The order for Italians to leave

grave concern in foreign quar-.
tiers, where Italy was believed

Alarm of foreigners here was
reflected in the exodus of a
number of women members of
the families of American mission
aries today. Several trains leav-

women out of the zone of posi-
bic. hostilitieS.

from the government of Emperor
