 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Children react to the attitude which adults adopt toward them. If parents are kind, happy, considerate, more than likely the small boys and girls who depend upon them, will 50, too. If parents are cross, unrea- sonable and irritable, the children are apt to be that way. They can't help this natural response any more than a flower can keep from bloom ing in a fertile, watered soil while it droops in a parched one.
 Two small children, each with his mother, sat at table in tea-room the other day. The little boys were about five.
 One gra..,.d at a menu. He couldn't read, but he made de- mands in loud voice: Do they have ice cream? I want some. Chocolate. And want some mashed potatoes and some gelatin and"
 He leaned all over the table and upset his glass of water and screamed because he got his suit wet.
 On Other Side of Table
 The other little boy waited while his mother read the menu u him. When she finished he said: T think I'd like some creamed chicken, Mother, and some floating island for dessert. Will you have it, too? You said we would have the same deS. sert?"
 "Of course we'll have the same dessert" his mother agreed. And think I'd like some creamed shrimp instead of chicken. They are al- most the same, too."
 T don't want anybody else to have what I have to eat," the first child came back. Nobody else can have ice cream. won't let them"
 Peter, shut up! You're bad, spoiled, selfish little boy. Now you keep still," his mother reprimanded him. Then she looked at the menu. "Oh dear, they never have anything ,, to eat at this place. I don't know why we chose it. I want some oy- sters and I don't see them on the menu"
 Irritation Versus Satisfaction
 The waitress suggested several other delicacies, but she shook her head. T wanted oysters!" And I want ice cream!" her son ordered
 Well go some place else and meet you later" the unsatisfied woman said then, and taking her child by the hand, departed.
 we don't like your food" her gentle son called back to the wait ress.
 When they had gone, the sec- ond little boy looked at his mother. But it's good food" he said. This is awfully good chicken" ! And this is mighty nice shrimp '' his mother agreed.
 A great deal could be said about the point of view which parents give their small sons and daugh- ters. Mothers and fathers can't be too careful of the atmosphere with which they surround their children during the formative years.

From the savage in the jungle to the sophis- ticate along the Avenue, the effect of a new costume is 8 stimulating form of self-expression; and 1mparts to the wearer that self-assurance so necessary to the social and business success of every man, woman and child.

And not content with these staple articles of rainment, this Spring we will shake hands, bloved in bright blue, violet, Kelly green or flame. It will require rare sense of restraint indeed, to express this vogue for color, without offending good taste.
 Here as always, 1t is wise to keep to the strictly conservative side of the lane of fashion. The clever wo- man with keen style-sense, knows her own type. This is more than

Most diseases physicians regard as infectious they know are not com municable or contagious. For in stance acute infectious arth~itjs, otherwise called infammatory rheu- matism, rheumatic fever, IS caused by invasion of the blood and joint tissues by one or another strain of the Streptococcus, which probably first gains foot hold in an attack of tonsillitis. The primary attack of tonsillitis, in turn, may have been caught from exposure to some one who had what purported to be a simple cold" but actually was a Streptococcus infection.
 Chronic arthritis, that is, joint trouble of prolonged duration, is generally regarded as a manifesto ton of faulty metabolism, a nutri- tional disorder, and most methods of treatment which have proved at all successful are based on this con- ception of the disease.
 am no prophet and indeed all ] know is what I read here and there and pick up by listening to real doctors discussions, so don't mind what I say about these medical problems. Just let this idea rattle around in your head for moment: May it not be that chronic arthritis at least in some cases, is essentially a deficiency disease, that Is, 8 dis order of metabolism due to lack of sufficient vitamin, or sufficient calcium, or sufficient parathyroid hormone, or sufficient ultraviolet or two or more of these factors which are all concerned in the utilization of calcium in the body - its absorp- ton, assimilation, synthesis into blood and tissue, elimination and excretion?
 Well. anyway, more and more en- couraging reports are accommodating in regard to the effects of the new treatment of chronic arthritis with massive doses of vitamin D - 20O,- 900 units daily, increased if neces- sary to 100000 or 100000 units daily for months. Send a stamped envel- l OPC iAA6 JOuA doOL GOD uil0 cboh for particulars, or enclose ten cents in coin and ask for the booklet "Tht Ills Called Rheumatism" We gave all the details in a series of articles in this column last month.
 Formerly only the most outspoker deficiency diseases were recognized by physicians in this country, anc then not until the victims were ir a serious state. Only a year age one of the staff of much publiciz- ed "clinic" had the temerity to come out blatantly with the opinion that physicians with large practices rare- ly see cases of vitamin deficiency What the skilfully touted clinics writing man should have said is We old timers have not yet learned enough about vitamin deficiency tc recognize everyday deficiencies when we see them" But never mind that Just wonder with me whether mod crate prolonged deficiency of vita min D has anything to do with chronic arthritis, and another time we'll examine the data on which this notion rests.

 My dear Miss Vail: I am won- dering what you would advise me, in this very personal problem. ana going with boy, and we are very much in love with each other. He has talked about get ting married, but we are not real ly engaged yet. We are about the same age, but he has never gone around with many girls, before meeting me. Now, Miss Vail, my problem is how much should a girl tell a man she is thinking of marrying, in the near future? Frankly, have more experience in love affairs than my boy friend seems to have had. That is. I was very serious with another fel- low; but we broke up months be- fore I went with my present lov- CT. He is very suspicious and jealous. I want to be honest in all my dealings with him, but I'm afraid that if I tell him how much loved this other fellow, he will make things very troublesome. Miss Vail, ask your advice, be- cause I know it will be answered in the Democrat, and I shall be looking for 1t.
 WORRIED.
 My dear Worried friend: That is a problem which confronts more girls than will care to admit 1t. In former generations, girls were ad- monished to make a clean breast of everything which might have hap pened in their past life. Personal ly, would never advise this for any girl, unless there exist certain con- sequences of her thoughtlessness, which must be cleared up before en- tering into matrimony. However former love affairs, are of no inter- est present lovers. After all, no man asks you for your past, he is ask Ing only for your present and future interests. In nine cases out of ten, every man has had affairs of vary ing degrees, and we women have been taught to take that for grant, ed. Well, as the old saying goes, is sauce for the gander, and that holds good particularly in your case. So, unless you have something ser- ious to worry about, forget it entire ly. If you tell your lover, he will either break off this near engage ment, and make you both miser- ablbe. Or, if he pretends to over- look the matter now, after marriage your frankness will only prove a boomerang to be thrown back to you, in years of suspicion and cons- tant nagging.
 Once again I advise you to put this old affair completely out of your mind. If you brood over it., it will grow into an enormity, and make you frightened to live the normal life so necessary in marriage.

Bruno Hauptmann's Attorneys
Plan to Battle for Life of Client
March 31st Is Second Date for
Execution of Man Convicted
of Lindbergh kidnapping

A desperate fight to save Bruno
Richard Hauptmann from the cleo
trio chair will be made in the next
two weeks. Failure means Haupt-
mann must die. probably on the
night of Tuesday, March 81.
His chief counsel, c. Lloyd Fisher,
said Saturday that Hauptmann is
aware his chances of escaping exc
cuiton are slim, but is ever confident
he will be granted a stay of execu-
ton.
"1e is shocked and surprised at
nothing" Fisher said of the con-
victed Lindbergh baby killer after a
45-minute visit in the death house.
Hauptmann, he said, has been ap-
prised that Gov. Harold G. Hoff-
mans 9O-day legal reprieve powers
hav expired, but he feels that
Sc ething will turn up to save him.
Two Courses Are Open
Usher said two courses are open
to the defense: A direct appeal to
S. oreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard, trial judge, for new
trial, and new appeal to the court
of pardons, which turned down
Hauptmann's request for clemency
on January IL.
The lawyer, who has fought
Hauptmann's battle for the past II
months, said he has not decided up
on the first step he will take. He in

con what grounds?" he was asked.
"On everything we have turned
up about the state witnesses Millard
Whited, Amandus Hochmuth, and
Joseph Perone," Fisher answered
promptly.
Three Witnesses Under Fire
IF we can show" Fisher went on,
''that the states conviction was bas-
ed on evidence that is faulty, that's
enough. If we can show that Hoch-
muth and Whited did not see Haupt-
mann that would be extremely i'm
portant."
Whited, the Sourlands logger, and
Hochmuth, Hopewell octogenarian,
placed Hauptmann near the Lind
bergh estate about the time of the
kidnapping. Peronne was the taxicab
driver who swore Hauptmann was
the man who paid him ST to deliver
to DR.. John F. (Jafsie) Condor the
note bearing instructions how to
meet the kidnaper.
