TT is important to teach the child
Il not to delay after he gets on
the toilet. If he is permitted to
sit at the toilet playing with a toy
or looking at book, or otherwise
amusing himself, without giving his
main attention to the matter con-
cerned, he will form a habit which
may eventually result in constipa-
ton.
The baby must learn to attempt
to have an action of the bowel Just
as soon as he feels contact with
the toilet seat.
Many mothers, because of excess
modesty. teach the child all sorts
of tricks to indicate that he wishes
to go to the toilet. Queer words are
used for the purpose, and also
strange gestures.
1t is just as well to realize that
this is a normal activity of the
bowel, and that the child should
learn from the beginning the suit
able words in relation to this ac-
tivity.

NOW ION THE SPOT"

XXTHEN Federal Agents recently cleaned up un-
w finished business with fugitive American kid
napers, people we're pleased but not surprised The
captures Of Karpis, Mahan, Campbell and Robinson
had been confidently awaited.
The significant thing is the change in public
opinion from the gangster era of a few years ago.
Public opinion certainly was not then vigorously
and militantly on the side of law enforcement The
crime problem, which reached brazen and ire
mendous proportions during that period still is far
from solution. Yet encouraging progress has been
made.
Citizens can thank themselves for much of this
They have backed the attack on crime in the last
few years
This change OF sentiment may be seen in the
movies. The gangster pictures with sentiment in
evtably created for criminals have been sup
planted by films of the G-Men type Newspapers,
magazines, the radio and other agencies of infor-
nation reflect this same change Much of the false
glamour has been stripped from criminals. There is
more applause for the efforts of police
A powerful factor in law enforcement public
opinion paved the way for better legislation for
state police systems, for coordination in the war
on crime. indianapolis now is one of several Mid
western cities which are experimenting with inter-
SIaCe ponce raulO
Through training schools for police officers in
Indiana and other states the personnel standards
are being raised More cities are using the merit
system of choosing officers.
Gains have been made in centrazing law
forcement and crime prevention activities
TNHUS today partly as result Of the widespread
public attention given the crime problem, the
gangster and kdnaper longer in the spotlight
For several months, the focus has been on the
reckless automobile driver, the drunken driver the
negligent driver.
Last years new high death toll from traffic acct
dents of 36,400 persons challenge to make
the streets and highways safe.
The traffic problem is being studied scientifically
by safety Institutes such the one at Northwestern
University and the one at Purdue University under
direction of Frank M. Kreml. Problems of speed,
highway and automobile construction city traffic
rules and signals, the fixing" of traffic stickers,
getting attention. New drivers license and respon
sibilty laws being enacted.
In the public eye, the dangerous and incompetent
driver has replaced the kdnaper as an enemy. If
people become sufficiently aroused the nationwide
campaign for traffic safety will get results.

TRAINING the child to control
l. his bowels is easier than train
ing him to control his bladder. In
teaching the baby bowel control,
these seven suggestions may be fol-
lowed:
/. Begin during the first month to
train your baby to use the chamber
2. Hold him comfortably in your
lap on the chamber. Do this at
regular times; when he wakes up
when he is ready for his nap. and
before each feeding.
8. Change diapers promptly when
wet. This helps in his training. The
baby soon learns to feel uncomfor-
table in a wet diaper.
4. AS soon as the baby sits up
easily of his own accord, have him
use a chair in the bathroom, instead
of the chamber in your lap.
5. Leave him on the chair not
longer than five minutes. Do not let
him have toys to play with.
6. When the baby can walk sue
cessfully, take off the diapers and
put him in jersey panties.
Z. Do not use rubber panties-
they injure the skin. When trav-

ASKS FOR LIGHT ON
WPA CONTROVERSY

By Hiram Lackey
In the name of common decency,
the public deserves to be presented
with more of the facts about the
WPA controversy. The destructive
criticism of the Republican press
contains enough truth to make
dangerous yarns.
The WPA worker. like every other
normal person, wants shameless
place in Gods scheme of things. He
knows the thrills of self respect and

nNE of the effects of the recent
- depression, if may use either
of those words, is the boy (Burke's
the narne) who stands at the en-
trance of the Central Library, ready
to relieve you of your bundles.
His polite way makes you believe
it is free checking service, to do
with as you please, but you'll learn
better if you try to pass him with
something in your hands. The fact
of the matter is that you can't get
into the library except with bare
hands.
Everybody thinks it's something
thought up to check thievery but
it isn't if you listen to the library
people. It's the depression.
The depression brought so many
customers to the library that Luther
Dickerson had to figure out a new
way of handling them at the cir
culation desk. The result was a
new system which required the book
borrowers to do their own work
something like they make you do at
the cafeteria. Mr.. Dickerson fig
ured that everybody had a lot of
time on his hands, anyway.
Well, to make the new system
fool-proof, Mr. Dickerson had to put
girl at the entrnace to see that the
customers had done their work right,
which, in turn, required somebody
else to see that nobody got past the
girl. That's where Mr.. Burke comes
in. The fact that Mr.. Burke re-
lieves you of your brief case when
you come in is just polite by
product of the origina, idea.
Incidentally, it turns out, that the
number of brief cases carried to the
library today is just half of what
it was before Mr.. Dickerson thought
up the idea.
A ND speaking of gallant services
4 n rendered around here, there is
a Mr.. Robinson or Robertson, at
tached to Ayres' delivery depart
ment, who tries out every lawn
mower before handing it over to
the consignee. In one case, he
moved half the consignees' yard
before he could be persuaded to let
go of it.
Its a sweet little machine" said
Mr.. Robinson or Robertson or
whatever his name is.

A MONG my many puarile and
n unlucrative accomplishments is
the ability to hear what people are
saying to one another in the street
cars. Thus, the other day on an
East Westinghouse car (Sheridan
av) heard one woman tell another
that she "honed" for a new hat.
1t turns out that she longed for
new hat. To "hone," corruption
of the Welsh word shawn" meaning
eager" was brought to Indianap-
oils more than a hundred years ago
by way of the Cumberland Gap.
Fifty years ago, it was still a good
word around here but you never
hear it now except, possibly. on an
Irvington street car.
There are lot of fashioned
words like that around here. I
once heard a woman call her
daughter in-law "daunsy." If you
or I had felt the way the old lady
did we would have called the girl
dull" I picked up that one a
Brightwood street car.

What stands between him and
this honorable goal? It is the fam
ing sword of reactionary hatred,
aimed at all humane, logical So

bored by reading the reactionary
complaints about the inef1ciency of
WPA.
In November what is the WPA
worker to do? Should he cast a
vote to send the old gang of Re
publican politicians, perhaps be-
hind some new faces, back to pow

Why should a WPA worker vote
to increase the power of industrial

have no more love nor respect for
a relief worker than they have for
a homeless dog, and who are now
planning, in Hoover-like fashion, to
put the married relief workers back
on pauper baskets, and to throw the
single men back into flop houses?
