Your Chidrgn
BY Olive RObeEts BarlOn

Just Ro downtown and buy that mosquito netting before you forget 1t. Baby won't sleep if Q fly keeps buzzing around his head, and he will certainly be a sight for the weepers if you live where the mosquitoes pre- fer baby food.
 Next to the netting on your list, good mother, write "six ny swat ters." Present one to each of the children, your husband, your helper if you have one, Aunt Nellie and the house guest.
 Swat 'em out and swat lem in. Swat flies and mosquitoes house bugs or anything that wanders llil- invited into your realm. The realm includes porches, the garage and the roof. Wherever these pests are, be sure they will have evil inten- tons.
 To Patch Screens
 Next comes one yard of wire screening, to patch breaks in wirl- dows and doors. It is so quick and easy. Out Q piece larger all round by an inch than the hole to be fixed. Fray Q little, turn wires out, lay over hole, run ends through screen, then bend flat. There you are. And snap. py coil springs ct Q dime or 50 each, keep doors shut tight. What's Q blam or two compared to a fly in the milk2
 The garbage can? There you have me. I've always used ammonia in the scrub-water to broom 1t out af- ter the garbage man had turned the corner. Then upend 1t to drain, and give 1t 8 hot sun-bath for hours and hours to Sweeten 1t up. Wrap gar- baeg in paper thereafter before feed- ing the renovated can. One blue fly can fill Q can with its lnaggot children in no time. A catch on the lid or a weight to discourage Fido, is Q help.
 Watch Garbage Can
 If anything is worse than Q wind of the stockyardS, it is Q badly policed garbage can in summer, tho land of the fly and the home of the grave. For, seriously speaking, ob- scure summer complaints, and sometimes not too obscure, are due to his dirty germ-infested feet.
 wish he hit us and raised welts like marbles: or that he stung and thus aroused our hate. As he does neither, we tolerate him, worse luck,
 If there are too many mosqui- toes about for comfort, there must be reason. Perhaps 1t is the frog pond near the station that breeds them. This requires community ef. fort to get oil spread over the sur. face. Maybe it's your own fish-pool Well, l can't tell you to kill your fin- tails, but might suggest covering an exposed drain or the good old rain barrel if you ever heard of one, or thinning out the over-grown vine on the verandaj What the birds don't get, the pruning knife must. Keep birds around, by incarcerat- ing Tabby. Birds eat up millions of insects. Keep water about a raised shallow pan for the birds to drink Freshen 1t each day.
 Quite an order, all this, but it will pay, l am sure. Down with the in- sects that prey on our babies.

New York.-ehe may gaze admir- ingly at the array of cotton, silk and linen bathing costumes in a variety of printed designs, but the girl who can have only one bath ing suit and buys this knowing full well that 1t may have to last a sec ond season usually chooses a w0oletl model. In the first place, wool dries more quickly, thereby enabling the owner to wear the same suit with comfort several times day. Sec- ondly, 1t requires Q minimum of care to keep the fabric fresh as new.
 Absolutely new this season are perfectly styled woolen suits with
 brassiere tops. These mold the fig. ure, uplifting instead of fastening the bust, and slenderising the waistline.
 Also new bowknots that look like innocent little neckline decorations but which turn out to be the ends of heavy-duty cords. On one suit, a deep brown cord runs through the top of the bodice, then goes around to the back in a continuous line that adjusts, from three points, the fit of the garment. You pull the cord ufl- til the suit hugs your particular fig-

talent can be transmitted to a child, but there is no reason to believe the mothers talent Is more likely to be transmitted than the fathers.
 The mental, moral and physical characteristics of the child are de- tertiined years, perhaps generations before the child is conceived. Let the expectant mother devote herself rather to maintaining her own phy- sical and mental well being and rest assured that if her ancestors have contributed good material to the strain her baby will carry on the line. Notwithstanding the many ilonsensical books on the subject, 1t is silly for an expectant mother to imagine she can consciously influ- ence the sex, mentality, beauty, character or moral tendencies of her baby by vain willing" or wishing or concentrating.
 No reason why the prospective mother should not continue her ordinary activities, dancing, swim. ming, playing golf or tennis, bowl ing, skating, hiking, touring or driv- ing if she enjoys such diversions. Just 50 long as she avoids strenuous or fatiguing stunts.
 One of the silllest notions that hamper the fnisinformed is that the expectant mother must not stretch her arms above her head, lest the umbilIcal cord Strangle the baby. Actually no such accident can hap- pen. If the cord Is around the neck at time of delivery the physician can easily correct the difficulty be- fore the child has need of breath ing. This is a trivial incident in q large proportion of normal labors.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 Answer-No can do. Coronary thrombosis is no laughing matter. You really should consult your physician. This is . health column, I hope.
 Hair Never Grows In
 Can you give me Q sure cure for ingrown hairsp Have been having trouble with sore neck about a year. (F. s.
 Answer--IIair doesn't "grow in." The tissue around the hair follicle swells from inflammation or infec- ton, so that short shaved hair seems covered up. While 1t is ad- visable in certain cases to epilate or pull out hairs, the proper treat- ment of the infection, be 1t sycosis (barber's itch) or simple folliculitis is a problem for a physician. Better not let barber monkey with 1t. Sep- ticemia (acute blood poisoning) too frequently has its inception in bar- ber-shop surgery.

 Ultra Conservative Criticism
 If you think woolen suits are too conservative to be interesting wait until you have tried on a lnaillot with separate, flaring skirt that can be worn as Q shoulder cape. Or at a white jersey dregsmaker model, eftl- broidered with deep coral, blue and bright yellow dots. This has knee- length cape to match. Both are ex- treinely attractive as well as prac- tical.
 Incidentally, for those who shlver and shake even when brezeeS are warm, wool jersey capes, beach dresses and pajamas are ideal. one neat dress, shown here today, is of lightweight wool jersey in navy blue

 When the baby is a year old, 1t will be taking diet approximately as follows: :.
 At 6 o'clock in the morning, 1t should have from seven to eight ounces of milk.
 At 10 o'clock, 1t may have some cereal, about four tablespoonfuls; seven to eight ounces of milk, some of which may be placed on the cer- cal; and Q cracker or piece of toast. At 2 o'clock, the baby may have from four to six ounces of vegeta- ble or meat broth, or 1t may take one egg, or, as third alternative, some scraped or chopped meat.
 TO this may be added some white vegetables, such as two tablespoon fuls of potato or rice, and from two tO four tablespoonfuls of green vegetable, such as string beans, peas, or spinach.
 The baby also should receive from five to eight ounces of milk, the smaller amount if 1t has some broth.
 Then, at 6 o'clock in the evening, it may have four tablespoonfuls of cereal with seven to eight ounces of milk, some of which is placed on the cereal.
 It may also have, at this time, a cracker, or a small piece of toast, and one or two tablespoonfuls of cooked fruit, which has Q slight laxative quality.
 Babies thrive best on strict daily schedule. If you compare the life and character of a baby who has been suitably trained with those of a child who has been allowed to de- velope in haphazard manner, you will realize at once the importance of a definite routine.
 Babies become accustomed to a fixed schedule. They will act al- most like an alarm clock in noti- lying those who take care of them that the time has arrived for some definite procedure.
 A baby that is fed irregularly will be yelling most of the time for food.
 
 The baby on a regular schedule is fed at 6 o'clock in the morning: gets some orange juice at 8:30, and at Q o'clock is put on it's chair for action of the bowels. At 0:i5 1t has bath, and at 10 o'clock another feeding and some cod-liver oil. From 1O:30 until l:45 p. m. the baby may De outdoors in it's carriage. pre- sumably asleep. If 1t is a normal baby and comfortable, tt will not cry during this period.

 From Occur d'Alene, Idaho, which city is about as big and as famous as Winsted, Connecticut, came a note the other day warning me that I am evidently mistaken in my no- ton that nothing is absorbed through the unbroken skin, for the correspondent had been applying olive oil to his face and several of his friends have assured him his cheeks look fatter now.
 Lots of folk are convinced like that of the marking" of expectant babies. People who believe in marking have never studied efn- bryology. At least I have never en- countered such a person.
 Embryology is the study of the velopment of the child from con- ception to birth. An elementary course in embrology ought to be in- cluded in the common school cur- riculum of every child. This knowl- edge would save prospective mothers, yes, and prospective fath- CTS too great deal of needless worry; 1t would conduce to better health of mother and child.
 Fear or fright, worry, anxiety, anger, jealousy, envy and sorrow are injurious emotions, injurious to health. There Is no question that the health of the mother has a di- rect influence on the health of her expectant heir.
 Pleasant surroundings, cheerful companions or friends, wholesome entertainment, music, reading, arr tistic pursuits or work or play it1- volving the exercise of intelligence and skill, scientific study and social culture conduce toward mental health and vigor, and that favors mental health in the child.
