Experts Differ in Use
OF THumb-Sucklng Habit

food as far as quantity is con-
cerned, or because his food is
lacking in the nutritive elements
his body requires.
Comfort is another factor in
this finger-sucking connection.
To the young baby sucking is
one of the big satisfactions of
life. Who can deny it who has
seen a crying baby begin to
nurse or who has seen the almost
absurd look of contentment and
bliss that accompanies the first
ravenous sucking of a bottle.
Nervousness is sometimes cited
as a cause of thumbsucking.
Well. nervousness seems to me
rather vague and meaningless
term in this way.
DENTISTS REASSURING
AS to the effect of thumbsuck-
ing on the mouth and teeth
there have been some reaSSuring
statements made by our fore
most dentists who deal largely
with children. They make us
feel that the apprehensions re-
garding the results in misshapen
mouths and protruding teeth are
largely unwarranted or at least
eXaggerated-though sheer COM
mon sense would tell us that eX-
cessive thumbsucking after the
permanent teeth came in would
almost have to have some i'll ef-
fectS.

By GLADYS BEVANS

Doctors disagree and psycholo-
gists disagree on the subject Of
thumbsucking. Mothers meet it
with varying degrees of distress.
A few ignore it.
It certainly is not one of the
"clear-cut iSsueS-thumbSucking
or fingerSucking. 1t is not clear
cut either as to causes or RENE
dies. And it really isn't "cun-
ming" as some people think, even
in a baby. While in the older
child thumbsucking is not only
hampering, but gives anything
but an impression of intelligence.
OPINIONS DIFFER
Let me show you what I mean
by differences of opinion among
those who are considered author
tiles in their respective fields.
We have a doctor, an eminent
pediatrician, recom m e n ding
painting the finger with aloes or
quinine and using restraining
devices such as cardboard cuffs
and aluminium mitts, and pin
ming the sleeves down. He also
refers to deformity of the jaw,
protrusion of the teeth, adenoids,
and mouth infections as possible
consequences.
We have another school" rep

Sor of psychology. He believes

its results to be greatly eXagger.

sometimes used are harmful

Indifference
Of Boy VexeS
School Miss
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For three years he begged
me to go steady but I wouldn't
agree until this summer. We do
not live in the same city, but
nearby, and he does well If he
comes to see me once a month.
IT can't understand why he's
changed so much since we
agreed to go together.
I'll be a senior in high school
next term, and I've told him
many times that I didn't care to
finish, but for some reason he
seems very anxious to have me
keep on with my school work.
Before we went steady he
mentioned marriage several
times, but hasn't talked about it
once lately.
IF can't be with him, I'd
Just as soon stay at home. I
often wonder if I'm doing right
by waiting for him."
