Your Children

habit of snappilg his fingers ana squeaking in his high treble, "Oh, gee. I guess I can't ever remem- Der anything"
 Being a child and not entitled to criticism, 1t has never occurred to him c blurt out "Oh, yeahp And am I the only one in the family who can't remember from one minute to the next where things are"? .f
 If he did, even in the most po- lite terms, no doubt mother or grandma would say that 1t was different with grown-ups. They have so many things on their minds, you see, they can't be ex- pected to think of everything.
 But there is mother who asks about every fifteen minutes if anyone has seen her glasses. or she is certain she had her foun- tain pen not an hour ago when she made out the check for the gas bill. "Where is 1t now? Who took itp Oh, on the porch tableg I must have had 1t in my hand when the stocking man. came"
 Daddy can't find his cigarette, and storms over the house be- cause The guesses he knows" and put them on the smoking stand and now they're gone. They are in his other coat, which he chang cd when he came in. But nobody shouts at him, "A place for every- thing and everything in It's place"

 Annie loses her pairing knife. Auntie comes over to see If she has left her rain-cape. Grandpa, even Grandpa, who never loses anything, can't find the article he wants to re-read to Dad from the morning paper, and later finds it in the evening paper he has just laid down. Grandma and her die- appearing thimble; or the biz knitting needles she most cet- tainly put in her sewing-tahle drawer" but now finds most un- explaihably slipped under the cover of the swing; exactly where she put them when the storm came up.
 Children should be taught or. der and memory, but are they the only professional losers, l wor- der If Johnny loses dime we never let up on him. But if we lose a dollar be sure we will have an air-proof alibi. do think we set up standards occasionally for children that we don't try to prac- tice ourselves. Example is the best precept, but 8 little of our self-forgiving might include John ny once in awhile too.

4 bowl filled with luscious mixed fruit inspired these designs for a refreshment set-and what could be more appropriate2 The bowl is shown as 6 mat for the pitcher and the six individual mats for glasses are designed to represent a pear, orange, apple, peach, bunch of grapes and three pluns.

"A place for everything and everything in its place." mother was fond of quoting.
 Which I think is just about the best general family rule ever written on 0 tablet. But @ day at home often goes something like this:
 Johnny comes in without his ball. Where IS your ball, Johnny? Don't tell me you left 1t over ct Dicks Go right back and get 1t. I never saw such boy for leaving things around"
 Before the day is over Johnny is greeted by more walls decrying his shiftless habits and disregard of place than Nature ever wept for Baldur.
 Why aren't his shoes put in the closet when he takes them off? Why isn't his wheel in the garage when he is through with 1t? Why has he left his bathing suit in hls room instead of giving 1t to Annie to hang out? Why, in short, does- mt he use his wits and remember to "do things with things" when he Is through with themp

Your BabY's Health
Opening Of Infected Eardrum Relieves
 Pain And Checks Spread To Mastoid

ear, or crying whenever the ear IS touched
 The pain of earache generally IS severe, prolonged, and continuous Immediate relief may be given in such cases by application of heat This may be done in various ways
 You may cover the ear with a piece of cotton and then put Q small hot water bag, or 6 hot applica- ton, over the cotton. The child may lie with its head on the hot water bag, or on an electric pad.
 It is not advisable to drop any medicine into the ear, unless the doctor has prescribed 1t.
 Infections of the ear frequently follow infectious conditions in nose or throat, and acute infectious dis eases.
 When a doctor is called to see a child suspected of having an in- fected ear, he will take its tenn perature, which usually is high in these cases. He will also look di- rectly at the eardrum, using a mag nifying device and a light. This apparatus is called an otoscope, which merely means a device for seeing the ear.
 If the doctor finds that the ear is infected severely, he will ar- range to open the eardrum prompt ly, particularly if it is bulging as a sign of pressure within. Opening the eardrum will relieve the pain immediately and will also help pre- vent the likelihood of infection spreading from the ear to the mas | told.
 Sometimes the pain of an ear ache may be relieved in an early stage by dropping into the ear some warm eardrops, composed usually of glycerin with small percentage of boric acid or phenol. Such a so- lution should not be used without advice of the doctor, who will de- termine also strength of the mix ture to be used in each case.
 When the condition spreads from the ear to the mastoid, much more serious infection, called mastoiditts, develops. In this condition, great pain and tenderness are noted be- hind the ear, over the region of the mastoid.
 a
 From the very first. the mastoid bone may be senistive to pressure because of the swelling inside.
 Puncture of the eardrum is not dangerous. If it is done sufficiently carly there will be no interference with hearing. because the eardrum will heal promptly and hearing will be just as good as it was beforA.
 It is far less dangerous to punc- ture fsie eardrum than It is to post- pcFc the operation too long.

SENSIBLE MEN ARE AS COOL
 AS THEY LOOK
 Within reasonable limitations 1t is quite right that @ man should con- form more or less to established customs, fashions or precedents in regard to dress, but in time of great distress or emergency, such as Q heat wave which seriously disables and even kills many victims, 6 man of character is normally bound to exercise some discretion and If pos- sible manifest some sense about the clothing he wears, especially If he be one of the class that sets the fashion of creates the style.
 Among the minor features which many timid men have not yet learn- ed to enjoy in hot weather are cole larless sport" shirts with short sleeves or none, sandals or similar foot wear, hatlessness except when protection from sunburn or sun glare IS necessary, gauge or similar sheer skelton undershirts with shorts or no underwear at all, and tropical outer garments of white or light shade-dark colors absorb more heat rays, white or light shades reflect them.
 Childen should go barefoot, bare- legged, harearmed and indeed prac- tically naked In hot weather or whenever they find 1t comfortable to do 50. Of course suitable protection for the feet should be worn if the soil of the community is infested with hookworm, as in rural sections in the southern states; and in all public swimming pools, baths, gym nasiuns beaches or play grounds there is danger of contracting foot itch" If one walks about barefoot suitable foot covering should be worn for the few steps from dress ing room to bath or from pool to porch, or even from bed to bath in 8 hotel room.
 Looseness in clothing is desirable in hot weather or in hot climate, for looseness permits betted ventila- ton of the surface of the skin and hence more efficient cooling, wheth- CT the conduction of heat to the air or the cooling effect of evaporation of sweat (chiefiy the invisible or insensible sweat) is concerned.
 Of course all alcoholic drinks are bad medicine when 1t comes to with standing extremely hot weather The invariable effect of alcohol is to increase the Surface flushing, to aggravate the very condition caused by heat and humidity, and so to interfere with the natural cooling process.
 On the other hand cold water and the popular fountain beverages and fresh fruit juice beverages are all helpful in keeping the body cool in

 This is a good time to try Q new coifYure. It takes Q few weeks to train hair a new way, so, If you be- gin now, your hair will look well Hroomed and attractive when your social life begins again in Septem- ber.
 It is @ good idea to change the part at least once @ year. Right now, if your face isn't too long or your nose too long and pointed, you might try Q center part. This lends itself admirably to the brushed backward effects that are popular. Regardless of what you try, re- member that casual curls and soft, wide waves which sweep upward from the neckline at the back and backward at front and sides are bet ter thtan severe lines. Your finger waves always should be brushed out before you leave the beauty shop. Curls, too, ought to be combed through and through, then coaxed back into place by your hairdresser.
 If you are tired of fussing with long hair but hate to give up the fiattering effect of a bun or full ness across the back of your head, try a long bob which can be worn down in ringlets or pinned up in a soft chignon. If you like very short hair for daytime but some- thing softer for evening, try wear ing a halo braid or thick halo curl around your head at night Don't festoon this with ornaments clusters of flowers or groups of wax vegetables. Use one jewel oz one fresh flower and nothing else. If your face is quite full, you'll find sleek. brushed-back arrange ments most flattering. If 1t is thin and long. fullEess at the sides will make tt seem less thin. Older women. especially those with tall statucsQue figures. will do well te forget about curls below the naps of the neck. High curls or digni- fled swirls generally are more suit able.

Summers Nearly Over In Dress Shops
But Eud-of-Se Creations
 WiU Delight COnJOYt Seeker
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New York. = This is practically the last week that you1l be able to buy summer clothes. Silly as the idea seems on such hot days, stores are getting rid of hot weather dresses (bargain hunters, please note) and replacing them with smart blacks and sheer wools for early fall.
 If you haven't completed your summer wardrobe, look at white linens and cottons and dark sheers - the only types of costumes that possibly can appeal to you in weather like this.
 The linen suit that was not only smart but quite comfortable in June probably feels like a coonskin coat about you. You might revive your dropping spirits with short- sleeved model of lighter weight linen. Wear one of these with Q dark monotone or a gay polka dot- ted blouse that harInonizes with the accessories you already have.
 Linen Suits Cut for Goodness
 The newest linen suits (1'm not talking about left-overs now) arc cut low and wide ct the neck-lines and are finished with expensive looking details such as pleated poe kets. Smart linen dresses are done up in tWo-tone effects (dark tops with white skirts, for instance) and give you Q chance to do something interesting with accessories.
 For town, dark shoes are better than white. If your suit is plain white, try black shoes, black gloves and Q black and white blouse. # you can bear bright colored shoes, match gloves and blouse to these.
 The suit shown sketched today IS teamed up with black pumps and gloves and a black and white blouse. Made of lightweight white linen, this is the trimmest, coolest thing imaginable. Wear 1t in town or country.
 Featuring Contrast
 The other linen outfit (on the standing figure) Is & youthful two- tone model in navy and white. It includes 8 navy blouse, trimmed with white bars, that buttons on the white skirt which Is trimmed with navy. It's worn with white hat, finished with navy grograin, white gloves, navy bag and shoes.

chestra, under the direction Of
DR.. Hans Kinder, is rapidly TAX
ing shape for the new season with
a rehearsal called for Monday
morning in Constitution Hall.
While there will be several new
firSt-chair men, the appointment
of concert master is the only
one revealed so far by the office
of the National Symphony AsSo-
citation.
Harry Farbman, widely known
concert violiniSt, and a native OF
Ohio, has been chosen to succeed
Frank Gittleson. Mr.. Farbman
was under the tutelage of Leopold
Auer for a number of years and
was considered by his instructor
to be one of the outstanding Amer
lean violiniStS.
AS a concert artist, the violiniSt
has toured extensively in the
United States and through South
America. For the last few years,
however, he has devoted himself
to chamber music and to the SYM
phony orchestra.
To accept his new position with
the National Symphony Orchestra
in Washington, Mr.. Farbman
leaves q similar position as con-
cert master of the National Or
chestral Association in New York
city.
Rehearsals, beginning Monday
morning, will be in preparation
for the opening concert the follow
ing Sunday afternoon. The solo
list on that occasion will be Tito
Schipa, famed Italian tenor Of the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
The popular reception accorded
the presentation of two operas in
English during the spring season
at the Metropolitan has embold-
ened General Manager Edward
Johnson to include "CaponSacchi"
and the Secret Marriage" in addi-
ton to "Bartered Bride" and
"Gianni Schicchi," in the regular
repertoire of the coming season.
Mr.. johnson claims that the
idea of giving opera in the Ian
guage of the people hearing them
is growing wherever grand opera
is presented. The time seems to
be near at hand when people I'M
schooled in music may attend the
opera and actually enjoy them
selves.
