I5-Yr. Vacations
As Motherhood
Reward Urged
r the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, June 3.-Fifteen-year
vacations as reward for motherhood
are advocated by Mrs. Harry H. Wood
ring, wife of the Secretary of War.
Herself the mother of three small
children, Mrs Woodring indicated that
women should have time to return to
their careers after they have reared
their offspring.
Since her marriage in 1888 she has
abandoned-at least temporarily-her
career of portrait painting
But the fact have that career in
reserve when my children are grown is
of intense satisfaction to me-" she said.
"Ill have to start over, of course, but
I'll be much better painter in the
end, because I have taken time out for
motherhood

regard him ~ IN oracle. He wants
TO be the head Of the house, the
purse -bearer. and to have his wife In
every way subservient to himself.
THE second reason that the cnneing-
vine woman appeals to men Is
because they have an unfounded be-
lief that the les sense and character
woman has, the easier she will
be to manage. They have An idea
that the tnefncient woman, who never
learns how to manage her own Affairs
and who Is 20 weak she wreaths her
self about any one who will support
her, u plastic clay that they can mold
to their hearts desires. It u only
after they have tried to change the
clinging vine into something human
that they find that it can't be DONE
The third reason why the c1inging-
vine woman appeals to men Is that
she touches the core Of chivalry that
lies in every fine mans heart. She
Is weak and he IS strong. She Is
helpless and he Is capable She is
defenseless in . hard world and all
that is fine and generous and tender
in his nature makes him want to
protect her, and 1t gives her the hold
upon him that Q little child has
upon = grown person.
But, alas, the clinging vines allure
seldom lasts beyond the honeymoon,
for Z man finds that what he really
wants in . wife is not q parasite, but
. working partner.

bones that they are hardly noticeable.
We saw some with tiny ones set In
the top that were only one-thousaudth
of an inch thick. and the introduction
of lastex material has almost elm
mated the necessity for any boning
at all.
The fashionable figure this year will
comprise tiny waist, higher bust and
slim hips, and the new corssts and
girdles are made with this idea In
mind. Important to note are the
styles which pull the ngure down
OF them With up-and.
down panels front and back and bias
cut sides to hold the figure firmly. All
the new styles are made to minimize
the waist and accentuate the high
bustline and they are all designed
for comfort. We spoke With an as
sociate designer for one of the large
corset firms, and were told that no
matter what size woman may be, she
need not wear anything but = COM
Portable garment.
Interesting, too. are the half size"
corsets, for statistics show that CS
per cent Of all the women in the United
States are what Is termed half -sise." :"
These garments are made to At, for
the real meaning Of the term is the
difference In distance from the under
arm to waist line. Hence, in the new
sizes, women may be fitted perfectly
and with elimination Of any bulge.
Foundations are made for the tiniest
or largest woman, and 1t i amazing
what number of amalf girls there are

there is scarcely . woman who cannot
afford the best.
ONE Of the department store buyers
told us she considers founda.
ton garments 100 per cent impruved
in the last 10 years. Even in the lSst
few. there have been many helpful
ideas conceived, for instance. trim
lines, well-cut garments that do not
cut into the skin, upper fastenings,
and the use OF lastex to q great ex.
tent. Many Of the new girdles have an
elastic band 1t the top that insures the
proper At around the waist. Accent
this year Is on the down-pull, built
up in back to prevent cutting, and
designed 10 straighten out the line OF
the figure.
The evening eoFselettes are otter
made strapless for the new gowns
They mold the figure beautifully and
are slightly boned in order to stay up
Not only With strapless evening gowns
but Also with halter necks, they are
tremendously practical. A great many
pantie girdles are being sold to the
smaller girls, and many women find the
new type = satisfactory combination
with well-litting lines that offer Just
the right amount Of support.
Women are classified In three types
BY the corset maker-the girl with
average hips and bust: small bust and
large hips: o. large bust and small,
straight hips, and nearly every woman
falls into one Of the three classes. But
tall or short, thin or stout, whether

Child's Grade
Not Final
Verdict
Development May
Entirely Change
School Rating.
by ANGELO PATRI.

FOR reasons Of organization. Or in
struction. or convenience, schools
grade children into high and low,
top or bottom, classes. Class one u
top. class whatever -it-s y bottom.
It Is quite impossible to grade chill
dren 70 that they are all Of the same
degree Of power In any one phase. II
the grading Is based on intelligence
there viii Be . group that are much
higher in the I. q. scale than others.
II It Is on sine, or social age. or phys
illogical age. or On any other basis,
there will still be some who are top
and some who are bottom. And
what Of it2
There Is no measurement in the
world that sets . nnal stamp upon
normal children. agree that We
can discover feeble -mindedness. but
my experience teaches me that nor
NAL children change IS they develop,
some gaining In one respect, some in
Others. some losing, some reaching
Developments limits early, some who
will not reach their mental limits un-
til old age overtakes them. have
found that the trained teachers judg-
ment IS ~ safe . guide In grading
children ~ can be found.
The teacher knows the child as he
shows himself In ordinary living con-
ditions. She knows his power Of pur-
pose and will, she knows his mental
strengths and weaknesses In . way
that no test can show them. The in
experienced, unframed teacher will
not serve here, but the expert class
room teacher serves admirably. Her
Judgment, and . test made by An
expert. usually give . good picture
Of the child. but not . final judg-
ment upon his mental capacities or
his future success IN any field. These
are hidden within the child to be
disclosed a. he grows.
The importance Of classroom teach
ing centers here. A. the teaching in
fluences the child he expands for
good or Ill. upon the basis Of his
original equipment. II the child "has
it." the teacher can develop It. II he
does not have It. she cannot. But
and this Is trasically important-the
good teacher finds some quality in
every child upon which abe builds.
Every success, no matter what the
subject, adds some power to . bud
ding quality. Children's growth Is
hidden. developing slowly. now in one
direction, now in another, never evenly
and along one line. No taste. no ten
dency, no show Of power. should be
neglected because it h allied to some
other power or quality still to be
born.
I say this for the comfort Of mothers
whose children have been placed in a
class lower than top. It is not i'm
portant 30 long as the child Is normal
minded and Is under the charge Of a
good teacher. His quality will de-
velop. His mind will grow. He will
change day by day and year by year
and become = personality quite dif-
ferent from the one he shows today.
Be happy If he Is healthy, normal
minded child, passing his grades. Top
and bottom in such grading Is not
vital to the progress or the develop
ment Of . child.
And trust the teacher. I have
known thousands Of teachers; and
those who could not be trusted to
teach and protect and help the chill
dren under their care are few.
