and butter, plain or spread with jelly,
should not disturb young tummies.
Be firm about allowing too many hot
dogs or hamburgers that are highly
spiced. If you can cook your own
steak-there's nothing better. And
don't let the youngsters have too many
soft drinks and sweet between-meal
snacks.
Take along little kit containing
some reliable disinfectant. sunburn
cream or oil, eye cup and lotion-for
invading insects-and q small tin Of
tiny bandages. This may sound like
Calamity Jane, but If you don't have
to use it, it wasn't much trouble to
take along!
Here are few suggestions for the
contents of the picnic basket. One or
two Of them should be considered only
when other things are provided for
the younger children on the party.
But they might prove helpful If you

Dorothy Dix Says
Mother Should Guide Daughter,
Not Rule With an Iron Hand.

No doubt the mother OF the woman
who writes this letter was a conscien-
tious woman who was doing what she
thought to be the right thing by her
daughter in denying her all the pleas
ures OF youth. No doubt she thought
she was keeping her daughter safe
by not letting her have dates with
boys. or dance, or 20 to any place of
amusement.
RUT the result Of her strictness did
not quench in the girl her love
Of fun, or her desire for excitement
and going places and having good
times. Nor did 1t turn her into an
Alice-sit-by-the-fire, who was content
to spend her evenings at home doing
crochet or reading an improving book,
with only Mamma and Papa for COM
pany, while all the other youngsters
were dancing and going to the movies
and enjoying themselves.
All that it did was to drive the girl
away from home and send her out on
the road that leads to ruin. 1t deprived
her Of the protection of a home, of
the guidance of her parents. It took
away from her every restraining in
huence and just because all of her
natural craving for pleasure had been
suppressed 50 long. she went the limit
when she could do as she pleased.
Youth demands pleasure and youth
must be served. You can't get away
from that initial fact in life, and it
is just As much q mothers duty to
provide her growing girls with inno-
cent amusement as it Is with whole
some food. And 1t is her duty not to
keep them under lock and key, but
to teach them how to have the right
sort Of good times. She should teach
them how to judge boys 50 that they
will be able to distinguish between gen.
tlemen and cads. She should teach
them how to have pleasures that leave
no bad taste in their mouths. And,
above all. she should teach them how
to draw the fine line between liberty
and license.

dSdlllSt. LII ldCt,
there are few devotees of any outdoor
amusement that are so "sot in their
ways" as the true picnic advocate
They know all the fine points to be
considered; they have adequate equip
ment and plenty Of it; they have long
since decided upon the most satisfac-
tory sites and menus.
X X X Il
IF, however, you are new at the game,
or a recent convert. you may need
some suggestions to help you weather
your first attack successfully. Mind
you-these suggestions are being put
forth in a coldly impersonal manner:
I still choose the living room with the
awnings down!
First of all, the containers. Vac
sites, if you would have the food at
anywhere near the proper temperature,
and especially to keep things from
spelling if you are going to travel a
long way before they are consumed.
There are many versions of these on
the market-but if you can't afford
even the least expensive. treat your
self to a scrub bucket (used for Moth
ing else, of course) filled with cracked
ice; sink your beverage bottles and
other food to be kept cold in metal
containers in the ice. Set the bucket
on several thicknesses of newspapers
in the back of the car, and you will
find when you reach your destination
that things have kept very Well indeed
You have to be on the lookout, natur-
ally, to see that the ice doesn't melt
too much, and the water slop over
to ruin the floor of the car. But then,
that's little enough trouble to take
for picnic!
Remember that tin or other metal
boxes will retain the cold better than
china or glass ones-but also they
may give the food funny taste Try
and get hold of ones that are lined
with a special metal that does not
have this effect. Tight screw-on tops
are essential.
Take plenty of water. You never
know just what you will be up against
as to the water supply. It's no trouble
and lot safer for all hands to take
along the water you are sure is all
right.

By q Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. Serving
notice that the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees will
continue to oppose any Admins
traticn plan calling for dismem-
bering of the bipartisan Civil Serv-
ice Commission, President Charles
I. Stengle told AFGE delegates at
their convention that such plan
doubtless will be a paramount
question in the new reorganization
bill.
Stengle called on the delegates
to "give careful and positive con-
sideration to this matter" citing
the action of other American Fed
Grafton Of Labor affiliated bodies
that reiterated their approval of
our last years program in behalf
of a bipartisan Civil Service Com
mission"
NEGATIVE YEAR
It was because the reorganiza-
ton bill was injected in the last
session that Federal employees
failed to receive their share of
helpful legislation. Stengle con-
tended in his address to the dele
gates. ut is only natural that
such a negative year on legislation
has had a bad effect upon our
membership generally, as they
were anxiously looking forward to
remedial legislation of various
kinds" he said. Stengle con.
ceded, however, that there were
a great many good features in the
reorganization bill"
Stengle continued: 1T wasn't
long before we discovered that
either by inspiration, suggestion
or direction, the committees Of
Congress were reaching an agree
ment not to bring forth any civil
service legislation until the re-
organization bill was finally dis
posed Of"
