Dorothy Dix Says
One Parent Must Not Counterfeit
Others Discipline of Children

children have the habit OF affection
for her, to do anything with her
youngsters II their father opposes
her attempts to rear them properly.
And for a stepmother the task
becomes impossible under such con-
ditions.
For the children, in addition to
their instructive dislike for being
civilized, always think that the STEP
mother is trying to impose upon
them and that it is nothing but
sheer cruelty that makes her insist
upon their washing behind their ears
and eating like human beings
instead of pigs.
If you are strongly imbued with
the missionary spirit, you may con-
tinue your efforts to turn your
adolescent stepchildren into gentle
men, but with their father thwarting
you at every step fear it will be
loves labor lost.

Dear Miss Dix: We talk about
mothers influence, but how is a
mother to have any influence over
her children If the father blocks her
at every turn? And especially how
Is a stepmother to help the children
II their father takes their part in
everything they do and makes them
think that the stepmother's ideas
are silly and useless? I married q
widower with two boys, IL and IA
years OF age. They had been taught
no table manners, none of the usages
OF good society, not even how to
speak correctly. I am very anxious
to be of some real service to these
children, but when I try to get them
to eat wholesome food instead OF
stufing themselves on candies and
cookies their father makes fun of
me before them. When I ask them
to do some little household task, he
thinks it is funny when they
impudently refuse. And when the
Oldest boy uses vile language and
calls the other child horrible names
and I try to stop him, the father
says: whats wrong with it?" Is
there anything I can do about it?"
A DISCOURAGED STEPMOTHER
Answer-It takes teamwork, q
mother and father working together,
to bring up children properly, and
it is virtually impossible for either
one to do it alone and turn out a
good job.
Children are amazingly clever and
soon find out which parent is the
soft one who can be cajoled or
frightened or worn down into giving
them their way. This nullifies all
family discipline. For when little
Johnny discovers that he can ap-
peal from father to mother, or from
mother to father, he is left free to
follow his own sweet will.
Undoubtedly the reason there are
so many young hoodlums, without
manners or morals or respect for
law and order and other peoples
property, is because SO many parents
can never agree on any line Of
rearing them. When father thinks
that John Should be punished for
something wrong he has done, he
fees to mother, who kisses him and
poor childs" him. She makes him
feel that he is prosecuted martyr.
And when mother wants to punish
him, If father is in good humor
he pooh-poohs it and asks her why
she wants to pick on the child; that
boys will be boys and don't mean
anything when they break the
neighbors' windows or steal their
flowers.
Many mothers turn their hus-
bands efforts to discipline their boys
and teach them responsibility and to
be good citizens into useless, nerve
racking conflicts not only between
the boys and their fathers, but also
between themselves and their hus-
bands. Many a man negates all of
his wife's efforts to teach children
good manners by making fun Of
her to the children.
So you see that it IL very dimcult

Rubber-E. and w. vul. i

"part score"?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. West should not overcall. He is vulnerable, and lacks sufficient honor strength to justify an over call. Furthermore, the opponents may reach game contract in no trump, which a heart lead may de- feat, while heart overcall might steer them into a safe contract.
 The complete bidding, with East and West passing, follows: South, one club; North, one diamond: South, two no trump; North, three clubs; South, three no trump.
 2. West must lead his fourth best heart. While his hand contains no re-entry except the ace of hearts, the suit is long enough that it may become established in one round.
 3. East should play the ten of hearts. Had he played the four, his partners fine pass and opening would have been in vain, as the heart suit would be blocked. By play ing the ten-spot, he will be able to unblock the suit and allow his partner to cash all of his long cards in the suit.
 4. In rubber bridge, the part score is scored below the line. While no bonus is given, it is great asset, as it makes it unnecessary to go to game on the next hand. In duplicate and party bridge, if your contract is for less than game and you make 1t, with or without overtricks. you receive 8 part score bonus of 50 points.
