Your .
Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

When we speak OF habits In O
child, usually 1t rs about manners,
kindness, regularity, punctuality and
30 ON. But actually, there Is some
thing far more important than any
Of these. The habit Of feeling. The
way the child feels about this
world Is the way he will be. 1t Is
called attitude.
The way any man looks ut things
and his place in the world either
makes him or unmakes him. And 80
we should do our best TO give every
little boy and girl healthy View
point toward life.
have always stressed the vir-
tue OF work habit" 1t has to
be ingrained early to count for any
thing at all. Neither mentally lazy
nor physically-lazy children will
ever be happy. 1t Just can't happen.
Rich and poor alike must teach
their children to hustle about and
get things done. Why? Because they
won't learn to love exertion later,
and really lazy ones get to thinking
that the slightest task or the small
est responsibility will kill them.
Interest Is Revivifying
Just what work is, depends on at
titude. It is surprising how the
mind can suddenly bounce o sup
posedly tired body UP and about
when something very exciting or
pleasing happens. A girl who has
gone to bed presumably exhausted
after a busy day, has been known to
get an astonishing amount Of sud-
den strength when invited to 60 to
q party. She can dance all night
and come in at dawn with a laugh
and song on her lips.
We are all that way. Our trou-
BILE is In classifying the things we
like TO do. And usually we don't like
to do much.
And then there Is the child whose
mother and aunts and Grandnlas
say all too frequently. Daisy rs the

weak one OF the family. She Is not
strong enough to help with the
dishes" Maybe Daisy isn't, but re-
peating 1t to her day after day won't
make her stronger. She may grow
into woman feeling so sorry for
herself, that never smile will
brighten her features. And she will
get out Of breath easily and let
everything and everybody walt.
Attitude Affects InvaIldism
OF course, II there is any part Of
her body that won't function prop
erly, or II some illness has left her
with permanent deficiency. such
as a bad heart, she must be cared
for and watched. But even here, ex-
cept, for her to be told that she
must not do certain things, she
should not grow up with the mental
attitude of the confirmed invalid. In
fact, she may outgrow what was
considered incurable, II she Us not
perpetually alarmed about herself.
There are so many things. An
other liz a deep-seated unhappi-
ness caused by the parents resent
ment against fate. 1t passes on to
the child at once. And 1t may sour
him against the world forever, rob-
btng him Of the chance to be hap
py when he can.
These early mental habits are The
result Of feeling. not thinking. The
wholesome mind % seldom too sorry
for itself, htIstles Itself out Of tight
places, gets over knocks when they
come without brooding, does not
take health too gloomily without
any real reason, thinks of others In
stead OF self much OF the time, and
above all, has some fun.
As the child thinks, 80 will be the
man or woman.

Great Excess Of Red Blood Cells
May Lead To Serious Symptoms

Diseases OF the blood concern

Obviously, the presence OF such
large numbers Of red cells makes
1t difficult for the blood TO flow

A slight increase IN red blood

diseases and also Is associated
with slight degrees OF poisoning

slight increases indicate that the

For example, there may be cases
In which the blood loscs great

which the body has failed To get

the red blood cells OF course will
be Increased In proportion 10 the
total amount OF blood circulated.

Protection Was Need of Frontier
Long ago man braved the wilder
ness while woman cooked the buff
falo meat and fish that he obtained
while he braved 1t. Therefore. he
was an automatic protector. Being
strong, he was the ruler. A certain
type of man hasn't forgotten. His
wife may support the family on her
weekly pay check, cook breakfast
before she goes TO work, run home
TO prepare lunch, cook dinner and
spend the evening mending, baking,
scrubbing and pressing his trouserg,
but he wants her TO know he's the
head OF the house. Custom and
usage demand 1t. Long live the

Such a man. by the nature Of his
haircut and his clothes, likes TO
feel that he rs the lord In minor

power behind the throne, but he
wants to sit on 1t. He may lean on

BUSINESS GROUP
IN HOLIDAY FETE

With a program Of singing,
dancing and speech-making, the
Eighteenth Street Business Mems
Association will dedicate a revolv-
ing Christmas tree tomorrow eve
ming at the Longfellow triangle,
Eighteenth Street and Columbia
Road Northwest.
Replete with vari-hued lights
and other decorations, the tree
will be unique in the Yule decora-
tons sponsored by civic organiza-
tions in various neighborhoods, the
association predicted.
Approximately 1000 persons will
be given employment by two local
department stores as extra help
during the Christmas rush. Lans-
burgh and Brother and the Hecht
Company have announced they
will remain open until 9 p. m, be-
ginning tomorrow and continuing
through December %. The new
hours not only will afford Govern
ment workers opportunity to do

cause the hiring of 1000 persons

AUTO INDUSTRY
Dive PRECLUDES
YULE BONUSES
Recession, Strikes
Given as Reasons

DETROIT, Dec. IA U.N.G0.
There appeared little prospect, If
any, today, that automobile work
ers will receive Christmas bonuses.
Where Santa Claus had more
than $15,000,000 in bonus checks
in his pack for motor car work
ers last year, the advent of Christ
mas, 1887, finds automobile COM
panies unable to help him out.
Three things were blamed: l.
The current business slump; 2. In
creased wages, some of them re.
sulting from strikes, and 3. Costs
of strikes during 1887, with cor
responding boosts in price OF mate
rails.
It was learned definitely that
General Motors Corporation,
which gave its workers $4,000, 900
in bonuses and a $25. 900 900 wage
increase just before Christmas
last year, would not declare a SINH
lar bonus this year.
Nor was it deemed likely in in
formed circles that the ChrySler
corporation would declare a Yule-
tide bonus. Last year, Chrysler an
nounced a pre-Christmas bonus OF
$4,000,000, bringing its total
bonuses then to $8,300,000.
Every Chrysler worker then re-
ceived a $50 Christmas bonus If
he had been employed by the COM
pany one year, with 81 additional
for each year of service up to 10.
Many other automobile and au-
tomobile parts firms also gave
their workers Christmas presents.
Spokesman for the industry
said definitely none was in pros
pect this year. One automobile
company executive declared that
The Washington times., 1937-12-14

in his opinion the fact the in.
dustry would be unable to give
Christmas bonuses comprised
negative news" and refused to
discuss the situation. Nor did he
want it publicized, claiming it
might lead to further unrest
among workers already troubled
by lay-offs.
However, another spokesman
said it was important from the
viewpoint of general business,
since the retail market would be
lacking the stimulus which the
Christmas bonuses had provided
in 1896.
STRIKE COST CITED
Still another observer in the In
dustry said it should bring home
to the worker that labor can't
eat its cake and have it, too" He
said auto firms would not be able
to pay bonuses because Of the cost
of strikes called by the CLOS
United Automobile Workers Union
and the wage increases demanded
by the JAW.
However, whatever the debate,
auto workers will miss checks of
$50, $50, $40 and even $50 in one
lump sum in their Christmas
stockings this year.
