"Safety first should be your guide

"a good wringer has safety feed

another safeguard is an automatic
release that cuts the current and sep
arates the rollers if the operators
hand is caught or if too bulky fabrics
put an excessive strain on the rollers.
Reversible drainboards and rollers
mean added efficiency for the opcr-
ator.
"Balloon' type rollers prevent in

not subject the fabrics to as much
wear as the hard rubber types.
Power wringers should be adjust

ated ones should have adjustable
clamps that hold the wringers firm.
"All moving parts should be encascd
as far as possible to guard against
dirt and injury to the operator"

Prescribing for the Nations Health

Prescribing for the Nations Health
A national program that will bring
good health within the reach of every
one-that's the prescription of the
Technical Committee on Medical
Care, made up of government experts
from the Children's Bureau, the Social
Security Board, and the Public Health
Service.
After examining present aids tc
sound health, this Committee con-
cludes:
/. Preventive health services for the
Nation as whole are grossly insult
ficient.
2. Hospital and other institutional
facilities are inadequate in many COM
munities, especially in rural areas.
3. One-third of the population, in
Guiding persons with or without in
come, is receiving inadequate or no
medical service.
4. An even larger fraction of the
population suffers from economic bur-
dens created by illness.
And here's the suggested treat
ment:
!. Expand public health activities
and maternal and child welfare SER
vices.
2. Build our hospitals up to oul
needs.
3. Provide medical care for the
medically needy-those on relief, ano
those who otherwise self-supporting
cannot pay for medical care.
q. Develop a general program OF
medical care for all the people, dis.
tributing the costs over groups of peo.
pie and over periods of time.
5. Insure workers against loss OF
wages from illnesses which disable
them temporarily or for life.
The Committee said the treatment
would take 10 years to be effective
and should be done by the States il
cooperation with the Federal Govern
ment.

IN the solution Of their problems of
perenthood- and the tremendous rate
at which these appeals are increasing
provide ample evidence of the critical
crossroads reached by thousands of
parents, and tens Of thousands Of
growing boys and girls, in every section
OF our country.
Changing times have emphasized
and intensified the seriousness OF the
problem. It seems to be indisputably
true that most economic and social
trends of the moment have widened
the gap between parent and child.
1T should be borne in mind that this
gap exists always. The problem grows
In seriousness, however, as the gap
broadens and deepens. Disparity in
age, temperament and outlook all make
imperative in every family conscious
effort toward an understanding re.
lationship. In tens Of thousands of
American homes the natural gap be-
tween parent and growing child in
safely bridged. The critical years
years critical for both parent and
child-are accomplished without un-
toward incident.
But In too many other thousands Of
homes . true understanding is not
reached. The consequences frequently
are harsh for all, and certainly are un-
fortunate in so far as the future of
the country as whole is concerned.

she says.
I'm the long run I think this period
will bring toughened moral fiber, as
compared to the so-called prosperous
20s,' when the philosophy of max
ing money was enshrined to the ex-
clusion Of so much else. Flush pros
perity, as we'll as cruelty lean de-
preston days, bring problems in child
development.
"The greatest treasure this country
possesses is not to be found in the gold
vaults but in the homes where mill
lions Of boys and girls now approach
manhood and womanhood. No time
of life presents so many doubts and
indecisions as these years of adoles-
cence. Life becomes perplexing prob
lem; too often day dreams become
futile illusions, wholly unrealizable.
And the stresses and strains Of adoles-
cence now have been intensified for
countless boys and girls.
And 50 the responsibility of parents
grows. It is a responsibility which
must be met adequately.
Uncle Sam realizes fully that not
only the happiness of his nieces and
nephews depends upon it, but the fu-
ture Of the country as well'
Acting upon this realization, the
counsel Of the sympathetic authorities
Of the Children's Bureau has been
made available to all perplexed parents
and cropping youngsters.

amusements. clothes, spending money
ard the like.
"CHILDREN at the adolescent age
undoubtedly would spend money
with more judgment and put a higher
value on the worthwhile things of life
If they were better informed as to the
effort their parents must expend to
supply their needs. Children cannot
be expected to grasp at first the signifi-
canoe Of the necessity Of budgeting
ones time and money. However, it is
reasonable to expect that if the parent
takes the time to inform the child on
the subject intelligently. it will soon
result In something splendidly worth
while to both.
Boys and girls in their teens are
emotional creatures and many new and
strange experiences crowd in upon
them. They need not, as one disdain-
full parent insisted, be handled with
kid gloves What they do need, how
ever. is an atmosphere of kindly under
standing. The touch Of the wisest
parent Is as light as it is sure, as deli
cately careful as it is firm. And that
parent never loses sight Of the fact
that everything may be spoiled by an
insistence upon being boys together,
or the aSSlIrance that we're inst a
couple Of girls talking this over
frankly Youngsters are quick to
understand that such attempts are
artificial props which are doomed to
failure. no matter how well meaning"
It has been the experience Of the

Children's Bureau, Miss Lenroot points
out, that many Of the difficulties in the
relationships between parents and their
adolescent children arise from the
failure of the former to begin setting
the stage at the earliest possible mo-
ment for a harmonious family circle.
I'VE find" she says, that many
parents suddenly awaken to a realiza-
ton that all is not well between them
and their 'teen-age children, and they
hasten to do something about it. Ere.
quently such action simply aggravates
the situation. In attempting to crash
through the barriers which have arisen
the parent oftentimes simply forces the
child farther back into the shell he
has drawn ABOUT himself. The time
to solve the inevitable problem Of par
ent and adolescent child relationship
is not when adolescence is reached, but
long before.
THAT fact is fundamental. It is a
fact which I wish every person would
take to heart from the moment he or
she enters upon parenthood."
IT is Miss Lenroot's opinion that
while the youth of today is con-
fronted with conditions which in many
cases are completely distressing" both
from the physical and spiritual stand
points, the fiery crucible Sof the times
will rot be wholly destructive.

weak lmltation-of using a language

to us down the ages of the STRINGS OF

The Beckman Tower-a New York
skyscraper, by John Mead Howells of
that city, is between the two extremes
an exceedingly fine adaptation of the
modern, tempered by good taste, nei-
ther extensively plain nor yet over
decorated. The same may be saia OF
the Kress Building, New York. by Ed
ward F. Sibert-very simple and a. the
same time quite lovely-as is any work
beautifully designed.
PERHAPS the hardest lesson for
contemporary architects to learn
has been the application of ornament
to monumental works-works which
bulk so large that all ornament seems
to be dWarfed thereby. The secret. CT
course, is through refinement, which
offsets size, and instructive skill in
placement Architects fear ornament
today as do the painters sheer beauty
but they are learning.
For instance, the Joslyn Memorial
Art Museum in Omaha, Nebr., by John
and Alan Mcdonald, father and son,
Of Omaha. is extremely simple and
direct but also very beautiful-winning
not repulsing, the public-giving indi-
cation of its purpose without over
statement-decorated, but with reserve
and excellent judgment.
Somewhat smaller in style-plain,
unbroken walls, seemingly inclosing
and guarding treasure-is the building
Of the Art Museum, Seattle, Wash, by
Bebb g. Gould, local architects.

well-known architectural authority,

Of the best thought of the experts Of
the Children's Bureau In answer to
a need which hiss grown by leaps and
bounds, the bureau has published a
100-page pamphlet, entitled Guiding
the Adolescent," written by DR.. D. A.
Thorn, a noted specialist.
"In our contact with parents and
boys and girls of the teen age" Miss
Lenroot says, I'VE have discovered that
each case should have individual at

general principles are fine, SO far as
they 60, but that to arrive at q real
solution it Is necessary to apply prin-
ciples with tact and q realization that
they must be nodded to meet specific
cases.
1.-THE bulk of the queries come from
parents and children who are seeking
a better understanding of each other.
Somewhere along the route the roads
have, quite naturally, parted. but in
stead Of running parallel, and within
easy hailing distance, they have moved
farther and farther away. Today we
recognize it to be the duty of the
parent to change this situation. In the
past we have upbraided and scolded
our children in well-meaning but
nonetheless blind endeAvor to bring
them closer to us. Now most Of us
are convinced that is is the RESPONSE
bility of the parent to prevent this
divergence which brings 50 much un-
happiness and misfortune in its wake.
IT we have learned any one fact in
our enforced study OF this prooiem II
is that children will become interested

Instead Of telling small child to
run along and play and not to bother
his head about such matters, 1t is far
better to give him an intelligent in
sight into what goes to make up the
life Of his parents. The child should
know something about his fathers

RE American men and women
I failures as parents?


n failures as parents?
~ Is the rift between father
"A and mother and adolescent boy
or girl widening with the changing,
dizzying tempo of the times?
What can parents do to bridge the
critical gap which threatens both the
happiness and security of the rising
generation?
Children as we'll as parents every
where are asking these and countless
other similar questions of vital i'm
portance in family relationships.
Thousands Of such questions are
posed in letters sent to Washington,
where they are turned over to the
Childrens Bureau, headed by that
kindly. sympathetic expert, Miss Kath-
arlne F. Lenroot. An internationally
recognized authority, Miss Lenroot
deals with the problems not with cold
detachment, but as one human being
to another.
From Texas comes a letter from
13-year-old girl who feels crushed by
what she considers to be the failure of
her mother to appreciate her or un-
derstand her problems. From New
Jersey is posted a letter from a 12-
year-old boy, i'll in a hospital, who is
haunted by fear as to the fate of his
destitute family in another State.
From Maryland 15-year-old girl
writes that she wants to keep on in
school, but she does not see how her
widowed mother can afford to send
her. From Massachusetts, a mother
writes that her children are subjected
to demoralizing conditions in the
neighborhood. A boy in a small West
ern town, unable to get help at home
wants to know how to overcome stam-
mering so he may become valedictorian
OF his class when he is graduated.
A ND from these ana countless other
places also come letters to WASH
ington, written by sincere men and
women who acknowledge their difficul-
ties or their failures as fathers and
mothers and appeal urgently for coun-
sell
1t is Miss Lenroot who points out
the extent to which Uncle Sam is
being besieged to solve the problems of
parents and adolescent children, and
who emphasizes the pressing need for
adequate handling of the supremely
important relationships involved.
Certainly it would not be fair to
say" Miss Lenroot explains seriously,
that American men and women as q
whole are failures as parents. But do
not go beyond the facts, as revealed in
letters to us and by our own investiga-
tions. that great many Of them do
readily acknowledge their lack Of sue
cess In understanding and reaching
their children. Their appeals for aid
