For the average home maker
January is a dull month. 1t Is
especially noticeable because 1t
follows the round Of holiday activi-
ties. It is a time when cooking
interest Is at lowest ebb.
However, with furniture and de-
partment stores featuring sales on
all types Of house furnishings,
smart new accessories can be had
at tempting prices that add a new
allure to the kitchen and dinette.
Since spring Is not too far dis
tant, 1t would be fun to tncor-
porate gay colorS and designs that
emphasize the approach to this
cheerful season.
For your kitchen windows trans
parent, washable curtains are
practical and very attractive. Buy
ing kitchen and table linen, an
ticipating needs, would be smart
now, when prices are cut.
AnaIyze Needs
For your dinette, gay drapes,
chair pads, with a matching wash

transform the room. Bought by
the yard they are not expensive.
In planning your kitchen pur-
chaseS, first carefully analyze the
working space and see if work
centers could not be rearranged to
conserve steps. Many years ago
in college one Of the class prof.
ects in home management was to
draw o plan of the kitchen at
home. This I did, and I felt that
it was quite perfect-the kitchen
as had noticed no awkwardness
in cooking.
However, when meal preparation
routes were mapped and revisions
made found how many hundreds
Of steps my mother was wasting
every year.

and heartleSSly surveyed its posi-
bilities. They replanned the work

Health
Child Training
Problems
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d,
Enuresis. or bed-wetting, is a
problem that arises in the devel.
opment and training of a child
in about one out of 10 cases. One
out of three or four households
is, therefore, disturbed by it. 1t
may be of all grades of severity,
and may cause every grade Of
worry to the parents. The amount
that the parents worry quite as
frequently determines the severity
Of the condition as the other way
around.
The child should have, control
Of the urine in the day time by
two years of age. If not established
by two and one-half years, the
condition should be regarded as
abnormal. Control at night
should be accomplished by the
end Of the third year. If it is
not, it is time to do something.
Lack Training
A certain number of cases are
due to lack of training. Training
should be begun at the age of 10
months, and the child should
learn to void regularly during the
day and before going to bed and
upon getting up in the morning,
In the past, emphasis has been
placed upon the psychological and
emotional basis for the habit, but
of late a number Of studies have
been directed toward the POSSIBLE
ity Of physical abnormalitieS-
sensitivity of the bladder, its Ca
pacity, the amount Of liquid 1t
will hold, and the amount of pres
sure which it will stand. Un.
doubtedly in certain cases there is
some organic condition to account
for the habit.
Most cases, however, are Of the
functional kind due to bad habits.
These are by all odds the most diff
ficult ones to cure. To show how
much of the condition is psyche
logical-it is very frequently OBJ
served that while a child will wet
the bed at night sleeping at home,
when he sleeps away from home,
visiting another child or taken to
the hospital, the habit stops en-
tirely. When he returns home
again it is resumed. When con-
troll is accomplished it appears to
be as much due to the subcon-
sciouS determination of the child
as to any treatment that has been
imposed by the parents.
Best Schemes
All sorts of plans have been used
in treatment. Encouragement and
cooperation will usually be effec-
tive when the trouble is func-
tional. DR.. M. E. Campbell wisely
says. THE bed-wetting problem
should not be permitted to consti-
tute the child's entire horizon" q.
"Reminiscences, cajoling, whip.
ping, and otherwise Furnishing the
patient serve only to furnish a sat
isfactory alibi for continuing the
practice" Nearly all of them get
over it anyway, and in only very
few instances does it persist into
adult life.
The two best schemes for treat
ment seem to be, first, to prevent
the child from lying on its back
by tying a towel or some other OBJ
ject on the back so that it will
be more comfortable for it to lie on
the side. The second scheme is to
get the child out of bed frequently
during the night, allowing it to
void at that time. Most children
wet themselves about two hours
after falling asleep. Hence the
child should be awakened about
one-half hour before the expected

HER ADVICE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Talk of a bolt from the blue,
got it in the mornings mail. A
girl I've been going with for two
years and expected to marry,
wrote me il I Janted to keep her
friendship 1 should shave, tub,
scrub and make myself generally
presentabIe.
"She said that while she cared
q great deal for me, it did not out.
weigh the humiliation she felt in
going around with a man who
never looked clean. She gave me
not only those orders, but added
that I must have my clothes
pressed occasionally.
"NOw, Miss Fairfax, / am Just a
farm boy who has taken root, and
not badly, in the big city. I wasn't
brought up in the bathtub belt,
and If we got around to a Swab in
the washtub on Saturday night,
we felt we were doing our duty.
In fact, I've always regarded city
slickers with a certain contempt.
81 liked this girl, but her letter
has Infatuated me, and am con.
Sidering breaking off. Do you
think I'm too hasty?
MATE"
Whether you break with this girl
or not, I honestly believe in time
you'll be thankful to her for that
sharp ultimatum. Literally scores
of letters come to this column,
voicing the complaint that young
men are SO unshaven, impressed
and untubbed that the girls are
ashamed to go out with them.
You tell me that you are a farm
boy taking root in the big city
My dear young friend, you will
take deeper and better root if you
pay more attention to your
physical appearance. And if you
keep on with that young lady
she's likely to keep you up to par

Those who have rushed to the
divorce courts are more often
girls who have closed their books
in the grade schools.
This leads to the conclusion
that if you have the intelligence,
industry and perseverance to
stick it out in the classroom,
you will be prepared to face
matrimony as a life job rather
than q temporary experience.
The sort of risk that young
people describe as willing-to-try-
anything-once is too often moth
ing more than dare" the wind
up Of q gay party-and youngsters
who never get beyond grade
school lead the figure here.
Knows Own Mind
The girl who has had the dis
cipline Of college. or who cares
enough about educa ton to patch
I'D the gaps at night school, is
more likely to know her own mind
than a youngster OF Is or IT
whose approach to marriage is
apt to be romantic.
Often these very young girls
have not had their play-time out,
and they rush into matrimony
under the influence Of tempo
rary fascination, only to repent
at leisure and wind up in the d.
vorce court.
On the other hand, a college
girl has seen a good deal Of what
is called puppy love" around the
campus and at promS. She knows
what "rush'' is worth, and per-
hapS has had several herself. She
does not take these will-o'-the-
wisp affairs too seriously.
A proposal is not the matter Of
life and death to her that Sweet
Sixteen imagineS it to be.
A week or so ago there was pub
liShed . group Of a dozen hap
pieSt couples" Naturally it led off
with the LindberghS, whose ideal
marriage IS conspicuous. With a
courage equal to her husbands,
she has flown with him across un-
chartered oceans and continents.
Together they have faced an
unspeakable tragedy. with a forti-
tude more than human.
More Practical
And yet, if Smith College is to
be trusted, Anne Morrow did not
decide to marry the Young Eagle
till she took some time to think
it over.
Again, college women are more
practical where the financial side
OF marriage is concerned. A girl
who may have helped to put her
self through those four academic
years Is apt to be a better do
nestle economist than a romantic
child Of II, who flutters away
from the parental nest with lit
tie thought of the bread and
cheese-but only the kisses-and-
moonlight side of the contract.
These are some of the reasons
why statistics show that the girl
OF only grade-School education is
divorced oftener than the high
school graduate and the high
school graduate oftener than the
college woman.
Apparently, the more you know,
the less you squabble.

Louise Sparks
Assists Revue
Former Professional Helps
With Hold Your Hats

Not all the professional talent is
to be before the footlights at the
opening of the Civic Theater's Hold
Your Hats" at the Playhouse to-
night. One of the important mem
bers of the back stage crew is a for
mer director of music for Lew Les
lie, Louise Sparks, who is assisting
Charles Gaynor, composer of the
tunes and lyrics in the revue.
A native of Indianapolis Mrs.
Sparks studied music and dancing
as hobby rather than as a profess
sion. But after an addition at the
Keith booking Office in Chicago, she
was sent to New York to start a
tour in song and dance act.
Positions as arranger for Warner
Brothers New York Office and RKO
radio programs followed two years
in vaudeville. Later she had part
in the production of Leslie's Inter
national Revue" arranging all the
music and coaching the principals.
Mrs. Sparks marriage and subse-
quent retirement have taken her
from professional ranks, but have
not lessened the demands for her
services in amateur circles. Hold
Your Hats" is her first real produc-
ton since she retired.

10 Pianos Make
Novel Program
Mu Phi Epsilon Recital Also
Entertaining.

The thought of concert by 10
pianists is apt to be rather alarm
ing, but the expert performance by
that many members of Mu Phi
Epsilon music sorority in Caleb
Mills Hall last night, dispelled any
advance fear and provided novel
and pleasant entertainment.
The players were ably assisted by
Bomar Crane in the role OF con-
ductor, composer, arranger and duo
pianist with Miss Sara Elizabeth
Miller, and oy Miss Elma Igelman,
soprano, who was the guest artist.
Miss Igelman, in one of her too
infrequent appearances here, proved
again her mastery of her art. In
two arias, "Lusinghe piu care" from
Handel's "Alessandro" and the Mad
Scene from Donizetti's Lucia" her
singing displayed the tonal splendor
and brilliant facility of true Italian
colorature.
The pianists opened the program
with two delightful old Italian
pieces, transcribed by Respighi and
further arranged by Mr.. Cramer.
Following these, Mr.. Cramer's 10
piano version of the much arranged
Bach Tausig Toccata and Fugue
was heard with 100 capable fingers
making light work of the difficulties,
and with the conductors ample
knowledge of pianistic effects it
produced a stirring performance.
Piano Team Well Received
Miss Miller and Mr.. Cramer
played the Arensky Romance and
Waltz and played them splendidly.
They are an excellent piano team,
judged by any standards, and in ad-
dition to the necessary f1nesse of en-
semble and tone quality, they
possess a rhythmic vitality which
many better known combinations
might envy. AS an encore they
played Mr.. Cramer's concert" YER
sion of Fare Thee Well, Annabelle, -
played first at the Lyric by these
same performers nearly year ago,
and just as much fun now as then.
The 10 players offered Poulenc's
Promenade" each of the 10 parts,
titled ION Horseback" I'm Steam
boat" "By Plane" and SO on, played
individually. 1t was the least sue
cessful part of the program. Poul-
enc's dissonant history of transpor-
tation, though obviously intended to
be amusing, seldom was.
Mr.. Cramer's Loco de Amor" was
very Latin and very warm, as the
title might imply. 1t sounded to us
much like rumba, though it is a
damon; something quite different,
the composer insists. 1t was played
with gourds, sandpaper and other
persuasive instruments in addition
to the pianos. The concert closed
with Manuel Infante's "Ritmo," like
wise warm, Latin and enjoyable.
The audience and Mr.. Cramer
seemed to have the time of their
lives. The players looked a little
more grave, but their music was
grand. (By j. I'd
