By Olive Roberts Barton

Baby slapped dradnma. Baby is o year and 0 half old. Mother slap- ped baby hard and he cried himself sick.
 Another baby, also Q year and a half old, upset Q vase of flowers, She was firmly told she mustn't touch," when order was restored, Baby reached out chubby hand and did 1t oil over again.
 still third infant, at Q baby party, began to pummel his neigh- bor. Ills mother said, I'm delighted that at least he can take his own part It Is best to leave them alone"
 Here we have three examples of naughtineSs, so called and although they came to me separately, I've lot them pile up in order to make a case.
 Should one punish on eighteen month-old child9
 No.
 And this is why. He cannot asSo- ciate his punishment with his mis- behavior.
 He will know you are mad and trying to hurt him, but he will not know why you are mad,
 The mono" method, tiresome as 1t becomes, Is best, because tho mem tal development Of oil little chil. dren iS more sensitive to negative commands than to positive ones
 If struck or scolded or shaken, the baby has no idea of reprisal. True he won't be likely to touch c hot stove Q second time, but this W be. cause his hurt is eo-incidental with his gesture. Even moment inter. vening will not register. He might even touch the stove again.
 Back of behavior lies motive. Why does the baby hit or knock things oVer2 He is developing will, but the big urge to have his way does not begin until he iB c year older.
 At c year and Q half he iS af imitator. He does very little think ing for himself. Moreover he iS al. most purely elemental. His instincts arc there but his mental processes are not far enough advanced to on. able him to weigh his acts.

 Too much excitement or too great fatigue are often responsible for baby'S temper.

6EAUTX GIoriEing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Active sportswomen who cut fine figures on tennis courts and golf courses last summer arc taking their exercise on bridle paths these days. October and November are the very incest months for horseback riding, and If you want to slice inches off your present dimensions and have fun while doing 1t, investigate the possibilities of th1 popular sport.
 Riding the forward seat affects ankles, knees, hip joints, shoul- ders, neck, arms and thighs While seemingly uncomfortable to the beginner, it makes for Q slim, trim figure, does not strain little-used muscles, Is safe for the rider and especially easy on the horse. ..
 Tn riding the forward Seat the equestrienne sits erect in the Sad- de. Heels are down, the outer sole of the foot Is turned slightly upwards. The upper half of the log, the knee and the thigh are pressed firmly against the sides Of the horse. The back and loin muscles are held straight, but not stiffly (think of c heavy coll spring). Shoulders are erect, chin up. Arms extend forward from the elbows, which are slightly In front of the body, and hands maintain Q light but constant grasp on the reii1S.'
 At faster gaits than the walk, the upper part of the body - from hip bones Up Is bent forward, the degree determined by the speed of the gait. However, the position of the legs Is never changed.
 If you becoms particularly en. thusiastic about riding, 1t will De encouraging, If not actually help. fiil, to know that q couple Of women won victories at last years National Horse Show in c jumping class In which the best men riders were entered.
 When the National Horse Show opens this year at Madison Square Garden (November 5-i1), most of the country's best women riders will be on hand ready for cotnpeti- ton against crack military riders from ali over the world, aS well ag the best male civilian amateurs and professionals in this country. Likely as not, the girls will win several events, for the record Is filled with victories by women. They are barred only from international jumping contests.

and the x-Ray. The x-ray has beer, tremendously improved in the last 20 years and much more has been learned about radium.
 Long ago 1t was found that the tissues which make up e cancer are more sensitive to radium and the x-ray than are normal tissues.
 A surgeon may remove @ cancer by use of 6 knife or the electric cautery or by similar methods. When he removes the cancer, he tries also to remove all of the tis- sue near the cancer which may have been invaded and all of the swollen glands related il1 any way to the growth.
 The radiologist is particularly concerned with cancer of the skin and cancer of the cervix and uterus, and these methods are used also in certain tumors of the mouth, throat and larynx.
 Radium has really been found to he a rather limited value in cancer of the stomach, liver, gall- bladder, pancreas, kidney and in- testines.
 The dangerous methods of treat ment include ointmentS, plasters or caustic drugs may damage the neighboring tissues and make them more susceptible to cancer. Mas sage or any rough manipulation may help to spread 6 tumor throughout the body. Diets, drugs, glands, ser- ums, colored lights and similar methods also have been used with. out any real success.
 It has been rather well estab- lished that neither worry nor cheerfulnesS can control the cause or disappearance of 6 cancer in any way. It Is not possible to cause 6 cancer to disappear by adopting Q cheerful attitude to- ward 1t.
 Chief danger of attempting to treat serious condition by men, tai methods Is the possibility of overlooking any possible chance

 This tension or stretching of the skin over the body contributes tc the frmness, grace and beauty Of the body in youth. It helps to re- store the normal contour or shape after stretching or displacement This resiliency of the wrapper of three-way stretch B due not en- tireiy to the elastic flores In the skin but partly to the voluntary and Involuntary muscle flores in the skin itself and to the reSilienCy or tone of the Skeletel muscles under the skin. ..
 Tho texture and condition of the skin, and of course the state of the 'cofnplexion," depends upon the general health and that iB largely q question of nutrition. And nutrition, in the scientific sense, means much more than food, aS any one who reads the red book "Victuals and vite" will readily understand.
