Comfortably Fitting Clothes Aid
in Improving Child's Disposition
FretfuI, Restless Attitude
May Be Remedied by
Riqht Barb.
BY CLARICE L. SCOTT
q. s. Bureau of Home Economies

The child'S chance for health and
a happy disposition is better if his
clothes are comfortable and con-
venient. So don't blame a child
when ne is fretful and restless, with
out first taking a look at the gar
ments he is wearing.
Feel the materials. Are they soft
and pleasing to touch, or harsh and
.scratchy? This is important be-
cause a little child's skin is tender
and extremely sensitive to the feel
of his clothes. Are they light in
weight, with no feeling of heavineSs
to discourage healthful play?
See also if the materials are pill
able. Do they really go with childs
natural body movements or are they
stiff and unwieldy so that they get
in the way and hinder his play?
The cut and fit of clothes also af-
feet child's health and disposition.
1t is not enough, as many folks be-
lieve, simply to buy large sizes.
just as uncomfortable and harmful
as those too small. The point is to
have garments so made that they
give" with such activity as reach
ing, squatting and climbing.
Raglan Sleeves Preferred
How to know the features that
provide this freedom is not difficult.
Simply watch different styles and
their performance on little children
at play. Think also of what we
grown-ups find comfortable in our
own clothes made for work or sports.
You will then be sure to see that
such features as wide raglan sleeves,
without cuffs, respond much more
readily than do those perky little
puff sleeves.
FullneSS of some kind, either
pleats or gathers, or even bias cut
sometimes, is good to provide the
spread that is always needed to pre-
vent strain across the back and
chest. And a low-cut neckline looks
even prettier when you see that it
never pulls back and chokeS as
close-f1tting ones do.
Growth is something else to think
about when planning comfortable
clothing for child. But fortunate
ly the very same features that pro-
vide for so much free action and
comfort are just as helpful in keep
ing clothes from being outgrown
quickly.
Taking time and care to choose
right in the first place not only
benefits the child but saves the
trouble of le-ting out seams, and
setting in pieces that may make
clothes wearable, but seldom pre-
Sentable.

LEARNING TAKES TIME
Parents Err in Pushing knowledge
Upon Child.

Give child time to learn. One
of the hardest things for parents
is to let a child do things for him.
self at his own pace, neither hold
ing him back nor pushing him too
fast.
1t takes time and patience to sit
by and let the 3-year-old try to lace
his own shoes, but he is learning a
new and complicated act, and he
needs plenty of time to do it cor
rectly.
Do not hurry a little child when
he is learning. Do not force him
into prolonged exercise when he is
tired.

Let Him Battle Self

The child should. learn as early
as possible to battle himself and dry
himself well. However, the mother
should supervise the bath until he is
of school age. The tub bath with
final spray gives the child the best
opportunity to learn to battle him
self.

BABY EXPOSED

Suggestions Offered With
Idea of Minimizing Chance
of injury.

So often in the development of a
baby the things he does are consid
cred either cute or naughty. Why
must we take it for granted that the
poor child has some motive for be-
having as he does?
AS a matter of fact, his actions
are spontaneous and are prompted
by nature alone. 1t is we ourselves
who interpret these little tricks to
suit ourselves.
For instance, we laugh when. at
10 or IL months, he picks up comb
and tries to go over his hair. That's
cute we think But let him pull at
a table cover or lamp, or open a
drawer-which he can sometimes do
at his age-and get our best bridge
score and chew it up, we get mad,
slap him and call him bad boy.
He Doesn't Know
A little tyke like that (and even
older has no way of knowing what
is permitted and what is not.
OF course, he learns not to touch
certain things after several warn
jngS and mo, nos" But it takes a
long time and many repetitions. I'm
patience on our part will do no
good 1t will make him afraid of us
rather than the article touched.
Particularly if we slap or shake him
or shout at him.
T.. hi
that can not be put away and are
dangerous to him. These are the
biggest worries to the mother. How
is she to teach the baby not to up
set the fire screen, or turn the stove
key or lean out of an open window?
From a year on up these will be
the very things he will want to ex-
pertinent on. Being initiative he will
attempt to do all the things he sees
his mother doing.
Menaces Fill Home
The answer, you say, is to tie the
fire screen, to take out the gas key
and to lock windows. Which can be
done, provided they are made that
way. And provided these three
things are the only things that could
harm him. They are, as it happens,
only a fraction of the dangers in
house.
1t is best never to leave him in a
room by himself nor to leave him in
a roomful of other children who are
supposed to watch him but won't.
There are, then, these rules to
remember:
Put away as many dangerous
things as possible.
Strip the house of too many CAD
gets
Fasten everything that can be fas-
tened.
Never leave him in a room alone
unless he is in his high sided bed or
his pen.
Try to have one safe room for him
to play in.
Do as much training as is possible
at his age. This can not be depend
ed upon because his interest and
curiosity will overcome his caution.
Never leave matches or medicine
around
lake out removable gas keys.
1t won't do to say or think that
he won't touch things just because
he has been taught. A baby is never
taught He can be disciplined, but
at his age discipline consists of reg
ularity in physical habits and little
else.

PLEDGES u. S. Aid

By Jnitcd Press
GENEVA. Sept. 3. - The United
States Will cooperate fully with
the League Of Nations if it proves
capable Of stopping the Italian
Ethiopian war, Senator James P.
Pope of Idaho said in a statement
today.
The recent acquisition of oil con-
cession in Ethiopian territory by
American interests" Senator Pope
said, has in my opinion served to
convince most Americans of the
ease with which our country can be
involved in war.
For this and other reasons, there
is as much or more interest in the
League in the United States as in
any other country. The people of
the United States want to stay out
OF war and public opinion will de-
mand our full cooperation with
any agency that proves itself cap
able of maintaining peace"
