The First
- Warnings
About Fire
Explain Liza bilities S
of Matches Firmly,
. but Calmly.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN, like all other people,
love fire. They love to see its
flaming color, watch its uprising
waves of light and the soft smoke that
curls about it. Something glad and
wild and primitive rises in us, all of
us, at the sight of flames soaring
toward the sky. Children, having lit
tie or no understanding Of the danger
Of fire, want to play with 1t.
This is true of all children. Very
young ones, those about years old,
out to learn all they can Of the world
about them, discover that matches are
fire. They like to feel able to bring
that lovely jumping fame out of the
little stick, and the first chance they
get they try it. Everybody about them
uses matches; they want to share in
the general activity. Not understand
ing the rules, not knowing there are
any, they take box Of matches and
begin.
This frightens people terribly.
Children are likely to set fire to them
selves, to others, and to the property
of others. Unless they can be trained
to leave fire alone their lives will be
in danger and the people about them
are going to live under terror that Is
unbearable. Mothers think about all
this in the first flash of the match,
and unless they have prepared them
selves for this moment they are likely
to DO more harm than good in their
+o
Try not to scream. Move gently
toward the child, and if possible stand
by while the match fickers out, in
safety. Take the box of matches away
and say something to the effect that,
"You should not take matches to play
with, child. Nobody plays with
matches because they make fires and
fires are very dangerous. When you
want to light match ask me about
It, and I'll stand by to see that moth
ing dangerous comes Of it. Will you
do that?"
The calm reasoning tone will i'm
press the usual child with the idea
that this is just another one of those
things that a person likes to do and
mustn't-just because. Children ac-
cept that idea to great degree, which
Is what makes them as obedient as
they are The one thing to remem-
Der is to keep ones head when this
fire situation arises.
Children will soon forget the for
hidden thing if their attention has
been directed to different and quite as
dramatic things. Now there are few
things as dramatic as fire, so We have
to be specially on guard when redi-
recting the children's minds. Offer
an immediate, happy and, if possible,
rare experience. Show no fear, no
anger; use no severity with the child.
Remove the matches, put out the fire,
calmly, and occupy him Immediately.
II you make great commotion you
fix his mind on the wrong idea. This
fire love will pass in good time if you
are careful not to deepen it by sur
rounding it with drama Of your own
making.
Teach children how to light fires
properly. Teach them the safe way
of storing matches Have only safety
matches about and keep them where
they belong. Pick up and destroy even
the dead matches lest they be sug-
gestive to overstimulated children.
There is nothing to fear more than
Sour own fear.

DEAR MRS. POST: On wedding
- announcements may I omit the
name of the town in which We were
married? Or II there must be some
town mentioned may use the name
of my home town instead? We were
married out Of the State and I don't
care especially to use the name Of
the town If it is possible to omit it.
Answer-The best way to overcome
this is to leave a space between the
line giving the year Of the marriage
and the name of the town. In other
words, actually the announcement
ends with the date. Adding the name
of the town merely gives the people
to whom the announcements are sent
your parents address.

THE Better Vision Institute Issues
little book written In simple.
non-technical language and amusingly
illustrated. 1t refers to our eyes as
the twins-our best friends when they
are good, but proverbially horrid
when bad-in fact twin imps or
"twimps" for short.
when the eyes are strained and
neglected. these twimps start raising
mischief. You'd think they'd begin at
home, and sometimes they do. Then
we are on to them. We go to an eye
sight specialist, who spanks them
properly and makes them behave"
Very often the twimps start mis-
chief away from their immediate
neighborhood and make it hard to
find who's guilty. They're largely re-
sponsible for the largest number OF
headaches in the world. And very
often a pain "in the tummy' can be
traced to the twimps' mischief.
They even go galloping all over the
body, their well-worn paths being the
nerves. Every nerve in the body
hooks up with the spinal cord and
thus with the brain. And II you have
severe headache that you may have
self-diagnosed as lumbago, rheuma-
tism or sciatica, the twimps may be at
the bottom Of it all and once eye
strain is relieved the pain will be re-
lieved, too.
Did you know that nearly all nerv-
GUS people have eye strain and nearly
all people with eyestrain have jumpy
nerves? And that undue sleepiness
and undue sleeplessness can both be
traced to the twimps?
Fatigue can be traced TO eyestrain,
too. Those twin imps tire not only
/ the eyes, but nerves and entire body.
The acknowledged cure for shin
giles is treatment of the eyes. Eye
strain may affect the nervous system
to the intercostal nerve, then gallop
around on that until belt Of pain
and irritation about the body is the
result.
1t is difficult to imagine that the
eyes can do so much damage and in
sucn 1orelgn ports. But 1t is never
theless true. 1t is certainly true that
eyestran affects our disposition as
we'll as our nervous system.
And it is too true that we abuse
the eyes, the most important feature
from a beauty point OF view and IL
goes without saying the most i'm
portant feature TO our usefulness, our
pleasure, our very life. One would
think that the mere fact that the
tw!mps make us squint would be
enough to make US want TO keep them
at bay.
My bulletin Eyes Beautiful" Is
yours for the asking. Send self-ad-
dressed. stamped (3-cent) envelope for

ferred to-the story about the twimps

Now, however, the oyster crab has

WHITEBAIT.
This is a rather difficult fish to
before going on to the oyster crabs
and fancy combination dishes.
Wash the little fish thoroughly and
dry carefully in clean cloth. Shake
the cloth gently up and down to re-
move all trace of moisture. Place the
fish in a bowl with a piece Of ice and
set in ice box until just before fish
are to be fried. Dry again in a cloth.
Place in another cloth (dry) and
sprinkle lightly with pepper. -four and
salt. Shake up and down so that
the whitehall are evenly covered.
Place in q frying basket with very
fine mesh, plunge into deep hot fat
(370 degrees) and cook for three to
five minutes, depending on their size.
Shake continually during the frying
process. Drain on paper and serve

crabs or alone with tartare sauce,
