RAISING AN FAMILY
 By Olive Roberts Barton
Quick Crack-dOWn Is Cure If Child Smashes Things
 Out of Sheer CuSsedneSS
By Olive Roberts Bar

How can we train him? Shall he be punished? Must he be shown at once that license is prohibited, no matter how great his provocation?
 My own idea is this. Yes, he must yearn that quick reprisal is his just dessert when he breaks over the line. He has to learn, and quickly, to wear out his rage or jealousy some other way than by destructiveness.
 Once an editor wrote to me and asked what should be done with a boy who deliberately took a fine watch and ground it beneath his heel. My answer to that was that this child must have been driven to despair by suppression and un- just treatment. But if he had no other reason than sheer Wanton vandalism, my cure would have been good swift whipping.
 It became an issue and I believe I was censured for being brutal, by some of my readers. Why? If that child had grown up feeling that he could get away with things like that and receive only a few words of admonishment to pay for his deliberate conduct, in half a dozen years he would have found nobody so lenient, if he re- peated his act or went still farther on the way of the savage.
 The child who seeks outlet in destroying deliberately either his own or someone else's property, is a savage. We must try to teach him control, but failing this, we are pretty much driven to taking matters into our own hands and forced to show him the results of his explosion. A fire or fall al- lows no selection as to result. Na- ture never compromises. Our so- cial codes, built on decency and collaboration, cannot always com- promise, either.

BON VOYAGE GIFTS THAT LAST

Rather than the conventional bon voyage gifts of candy, fruit or flowers, cruising friends might pre- fer more permanent gifts-gifts that make travelling smoother and pleas- anter and possibly will be useful when the trip is only 8 pleasant memory. Perhaps an eight-day travelling clock, or a compact little case containing silver spoon, fork, knife and bottle opener, or a silver match box and several refls would endear you forever. And if your friend is feminine. she would simply love an extra set of buckles for her dancing slippers, or clever little jewelled barrettes and tuck-in combs for her new combedup coiffure and, if her wardrobe includes one of those insouciant doli-sized hats, she simply would adore . jewelled hat pin.

that. However, there is another side to destructiveness that we should think about.
 The small child is experimental and atavistic - that is, he has a tendency to revert to the savagery of ancient ancestors. The growing child is prone to the same things. But this brings us to emotion, the rages and jealousies of developing years that have not reached the stage of control.
 The child simply must learn con- trol. He must learn to keep his hands Cor feeD off the property of others or those of his possessions that represent our own effort and struggle. He must learn that rage won't be an excuse for stamping on flowers or throwing mud on the clothes line.

first came to the institution.
 Finally, in connection with most of these institutions there are com- plete staffs of specialists in various forms of medical practice, including particularly orthopedic surgeons.
 These men are not only able to aid by the application of proper splints and braces, but also by sur- gical operations which have been designed to reconstruct damaged tissues and thus give the patient the utmost possible help in recover ing the functions of the arms and legs and muscles of other parts of the body.
 In the paralytic stage of infan- tile paralysis patients must, of course, be moved to the best ad- vantage of damaged tissues.
 They must be protected aganist secondary infections.
 They must be turned to aid them in getting rid of mucus and salvia which may collect in the mouth.
 All of these procedures are best cared for by nurses who have been especially trained in the care of in- fantile paralysis.

kind of job that comes along and work out a future from there.
 Few people can travel a straight line to what they want. When you read the life story of a suc- cessful person you almost always find that he got where he wanted to go by roundabout method.
 Not that the roundabout meth- od is better than a direct one. It isn't. But with the stumbling blocks of "experience"-"no va- cancies"-"later perhaps"-in the paths of most young job seekers, a few detours are to be expected. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

carry out such treatment. However, although I have long inveighed against and still brand as archaic and unwarranted the use of castor oil as a cathartic, when my doctor opined that I needed it downed a brimming beaker without even rais- ing an eyebrow, I hope. I may make more than my share of wisecracks at the expense of the other doctors in the world, but when I consult doctor I do so because I believe he knows better than I what to do in the circumstances. If did not think so, wouldn't bother the man at all.
 There are innumerable prepara- tions-solutions, oils, sprays, vapor- izers, inhalants, salves, drops offered as remedies for chronic sinus trouble. The more effective of these remedies generally depend on adrenalin or ephedrin for character istic action-shrinking of swollen mucous membranes, for short time.
 Experience has demonstrated that the repeated or prolonged use of such powerful vasoconstrictors as adrenalin or ephedrin eventually leaves the mucous membrane in an abnormal condition, perhaps worse than before.
 For the mild soothing effect as well as the gentle clearing of stuffy passages, I would recommend the use of the vitamin D inhalant al- ready mentioned, instead of these powerful vasoconstrictors "a few drops of the bland oil solution of vitamin D with menthol and phenyl salicylate (antiseptics) in each nos- tril two or three times day. h. cidentally, any such inhalant or medicament applied within the nose should have neutral vegetable oil base, not mineral oil which is for eign, non- -assimilable, likely to col- lect somewhere in the respiratory tract and cause trouble. This is a harmless form of self-treatment in any case, and often most grateful. Better leave the use of adrenalin and ephedrin to the physician who knows their bad after effects.
 I'd take plenty of time to consider before I'd submit to any surgical treatment of sinusitis if were sub- ject to chronic sinusitis. The re- suits of such operations are not en- couraging. Too often the sinusitis patient is scared into it when the nose and throat man says "Boo!," and then regrets his nasty decision for years and years of constant or recurring trouble with the old sinus.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Determination of Parentage
 Is it possible to determine by a blood test whether 8 child is the natural child of a given person? (MrS. R.B)
 Answer-No. In some instances a blood test will show that a given person could NOT be the parent of given child, but no test can prove that given person is the parent of 8 given child.

REP. MITCHELL
LOSES PLEA IN
Jim CROW CASE.
ice Examiner Urges
Its Dismissal

QN.S.) An ICC examiner to-
day recommended it find that
present accommodations for col
cred passengers travelling in Arkan-
sas on through Journeys from Chi
cago to Hot Springs, Ark, are not
unjustly discriminatory or unduly
prejudicial and that a complaint
brought against the Rock Island
and Illinois Central railroads ard
the Pullman Company by Arthur
w. Mitchell CD of Illinois, the
only Negro member of Congress,
be dismissed.
The case arose out Of an expert.
ence Mitchell had more than a
year ago. On April 20, 1887, he
left Chicago for Hot Springs over
the Illinois Central to Memphis
and the Rock Island beyond,
travelling on a first class round
trip ticket.
Mitchell had requested bed.
room on a through sleeping car,
but none being available he was
provided with a compartment as
far as Memphis in the sleeper
destined to New Orleans. Just be-
fore the train reached Memphis
the next morning he had a Pull
man porter transfer him and his
baggage to the Chicago- Hot
Springs sleeper then on the same
train.
After leaving Memphis anc
crossing the Mississippi River into
Arkansas the train conductor took
up the Memphis-Hot Springs por
ton of his ticket, but refused tt
accept payment for the Pullman
seat from Memphis.
In accordance with custom, the
conductor compelled Mitchell, ovel
his protest and finally with threat
of arrest, to move into the so-callec
Jim Grow" car, in compliance
with an Arkansas statute requiring
segregation of colored from white
persons.
The examiner said the presen
colored coach meets the require
ments of the law as there is com
paratively little colored traffic anc
not likely to be such demand fol
Pullman accommodations by col
ored passengers as to warrant thu
running of any extra cars. There
fore, the discrimination and preju
dice is plainly not unjust or I'm
due, he found.

After "Snow White"

The. people who are clamoring to have the Seven DwarfS made permanent actors in the Disney short cartoons are moved by pleasure, affection and appreciation, but not by judgment Walt Disney is to be congratulated on his decision not to star those delightful little creatures again. A statement from his studio ex- plains that the dwarfs were created ex- pressly and exclusively for the Snow White" picture. "They will not fit any other story. Of course there is no sequel to Snow White"
 This is not to disagree with the clam orers about the charms of Doc, Dopey Grumpy, Sneezy Happy, Bashful and Sleepy. In heart-warming and enter taining qualities they are all that their most devoted admirers claim. But why take them out of their setting? Why assume that the inventive genius of Mr. Disney and his staff is now exhausted and must merely repeat these characters over and over? Why ignore the fact that the beauty and dramatic qualities of Snow White" reveal linitless possibilities ahead?
 There is a vast mine of fairy tales, folk lore, fiction and sheer imagination which the Disney artists may now dig into with great benefit to the movie-going public, both juvenile and adult. Snow White" suggests that it would even be safe to trust Mr. Disney with The Arabian Nights.

Farmers Pay and Pay

There's nothing about the price of farm machinery in the farm relief bill now before President Roosevelt for signature, but the average farmer would be a lot happier if a paragraph or two dealing with the subject could be inserted, some how. The comments of several midwest erners attending the recent Farmers Week at Michigan State College brought a survey of the cost of implements and the views held by the users thereof Both were interesting.
 The survey showed steady and con- siderable rise in the cost of implements from records as far back as 1900. Then the two-horse wagon complete with whip pie trees and box cost $45. Now, without the box the wagon costs S70. In 1913 S2O4 and in 1887, $219 common har- row in 1913 sold for around $8. Now it costs more than SIS. A single cultivator that in earlier days cost $5 now sells for SIP walking blow formerly sold for S15 Now the price is $25. And so on.
 Of course, the cost of many commodl- ties has doubled since 1900, but these fig ures show rigid prices doubling and more since 1913 Implement dealers, on their side, point to the higher cost of labor and of raw materials, and add that the price of farm products has gone up, too, aiding the farmers.
 And the farmers retort in rebuttal that farm products certainly haven't doubled in price and that, furthermore, the price of farm products is variable and the farmer has no foundation of price Stabil- ity on which to build his economic Struc- ture; that the price of wheat and corn goes up and goes down, but the price of implements stay up forever.
 Labor and materials have increased the cost of manufacturing farm implements, just as they have increased the cost of all manufacturing, but there aren't many trades in which the price of mans pro- duction machinery has doubled over few years Perhaps the material used in the machinery now is little better, perhaps lot better, but that doesn't alter the fact that the farmer has to pay the higher price, either for replacements or to enter his trade = and still stay in buSi- ness while he pays those prices.

Highway Materials

Abolition of all waterbound macadam roads in this state by dropping this material from all contracts made by the State Highway Department IS right in line with advanced ideas on roads conStruc- tion, if we are to judge by what the Amer ican Road Builders Association is saying. This organization claims that ideas on roads have changed in the last decade and will continue to change as builders adjust themselves to the times and the demands of the motoring public. Right here in Connecticut we have seen this happen in the last year or so what with rejection of the once-popular type Of highway con struction material by the neWly-created Public Works Department.
 We have read about criticism leveled at a certain type of bridge to be built along the Merritt Parkway. We have seen the Public Works Department con- demn section of a new roadway and compel the private builder to replace the stretch with materials that measured up to specifications. There will be more Of this for few years then it will dwindle away into nothing as generally accepted standards of road building become com mon and no deviation from them is found But until that time comes we can see battles galore as political raml- fications fall before public opinion.
 Recent tests out in Iowa have proved concluSively that dollars and cents are l1l- volved in good and bad roads. This survey revealed that it costs BOT cents mile to run passenger car over dirt roads. It only costs 2.17 mile to run the same car on gravel roads. The cost per mile on paved roads, however, is LA cents mile. That means more and more good roads are going to be built. That means that more attention is going to be paid to materials that will give long-life and not necessitate expensive upkeep as has been found the case so often today The lesson is that good roads really save money.

It occasioned some little surprise in the Senate this week when Senator David |. Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts brought in a minority report for the con- mittee on pensions.
