Greeks as within 1t. In the final
analysis, it's the individual, and not
his or her organization, that mat
ters. And that bit of wisdom comes
from college graduate with enough
fraternity and society badges to
start small pawn shop!
AS for your attitude toward your
instructors, the college authorities,
your classmates, and other persons
with whom you are in daily contact,
the same principles apply in college
as in high school, Office or factory.
What you get out Of the four years
before you depends largely on what
you put into them. Professors won't
nurse" you; if you prefer to loaf
and funk out, that's your privilege.
You're on your own now. It's up
to you!
You'll meet new men and new
girls. You'll have new dates, new
problems, different experiences.
You'll test your abilities-mental,
social, athletic-against wider, stiff
er competition than you ever faced
before. You'll have your triumphs
and your disappointments, your sue
cesses and your failures.
But it will all be fun-a glorious,
exciting adventure-if you make 1t
just that. And you'll be learning
constantly. You'll acquire more so.
cial poise, along with your Shake
speare and organic chemistry. You'll
learn much about getting along with
people-the sophomore who is q
childish bully, the house mother
with heart of gold but jumpy
nerves, the date who insists on
showing you the football bleachers
by moonlight
And you'll come home for your
first Christmas vacation with q new
standing in your own community.
You'll be a college man or girl,
and it will all be pretty wonderful!

to do when you were her age?
Weren't you boy-crazy? Didn't you
feel that you would die with disap-
pointment If you missed going to
some party? And was your idea of
a good time spending the evening
at home listening to grandpa REM
inisce about the Civil War. and
mother and father thrash over the
domestic problems and groan over
the way the price of eggs had
gone up?
You know very well that your
Janey is just a reincarnation of you
in your adolescent girlhood. You
know that you got over thinking
that every little pimply faced pip
squeak of boy was hero OF ro-
nance. and of believing that you
couldn't live If you didn't have a
new hat. You thought it was all
important to do exactly what all the
other girls were doing, and, in
credible as probably your mother
and father thought, you developed
into a fine, sensible woman.
So why take Janey so seriously?
Why not give her the benefit Of
the doubt and trust to her good
breeding and the wise teaching you
have given her to come through
this wacky period Of life unscathed?
Quit worrying about Janey and use
little common sense in dealing
with her. Give up the foolish idea
that you can make over the modern
girl into the prunes-and-prisms
young person of the Victorian era,
which you can't do. Streamline her
ideas of what a nice girl should be,
which you can do.
OF course, she wants to run with
the gang. All young people are gre
garious and naturally she wants to
60 with boys and girls Of her own
age. We oldsters are awful bores
to the young. But take the danger
out of that by letting her have her
friends come to the house Enter
tain them. Make them welcome.
Let them have good times. In that
way you can find out who her COM
panions are and gently and insidi-
ously freeze out the undesirables
without her Knowing it.

Child Needs
Individual
Attention
Don't Lower Level
Of Family Life to
Weak Member
BY ANGELO PATRI.


Il can't imagine what is the mat
ter with that boy of mine. Every
once in a while, try as may, he
goes into q tantrum about come
thing or other and always he is
abused. I am partial to his sister OF
to his younger brother, he never
gets a chance, brother or sister
gets just the thing he or she wants,
although 1t may have been offered
him first and he refused 1t.
II lean over backward trying to
treat all the children alike and !
can't do a thing with this childs
disposition"
1t is, in my experience, a mis-
take to try to treat all children
alike. There are no two alike. not
even twins. No two members of
a family are alike, nor do they al
ways love each other and work har-
moniously together. Treating them
alike is to treat some of them un-
justly. The best way out is to study
each one as he grows from day to
day and try to give him what he
needs regardless Of what the others
need.
One child tires easily while an
other can 60 all day long without
break. Give the easily tired child
an afternoon rest, special diet
longer hours Of sleep. Immediately
this makes q difference in the fam
lily routine, but it should not trou-
BILE anybody, especially the tireless
one.
One child does well at school and
his brother, maybe the older, does
poorly. The bright child is pro-
NOTED rapidly and leaves his brother
behind. Is the fast one to be held
back for the slow one? Never. Let
each go at his own rate Of speed
1t is cruel to try to alter the speed
of development of any child. If he
is slow he must be helped accord
ing to his rhythm, but holding back
the fast child will not help the slow
one at all. 1t will ruin the fast one
50 there are two special cases on
ones mind instead Of one.
One child sticks out Of the family
like sore thumb. He wants what
he cannot have, he will insist that
he wants to do something he can
not do, he does not want to do what
he can or what he ought to do. This
child keeps the family on edge, try
ing to avoid rousing his negative
temper, trying to find q way to keep
him going along pleasantly. Usually
they meet with scant success.
Don't try to level the family life
down to the power Of its weakest
member. That is the tendency al
ways, but 1t will not work. The
weak one grows weaker and he
drags down the others. Give each
his chance. Let each progress as
fast and as fully a he can and
ring the slow, the weak one round
about with silence, kindness and
much letting alone.
Have the children's specialist zee
him and follow his advice. Do what
is possible for him, but don't try
to treat him as you do his brothers
and sisters. 1t won't do any good.

It's a beautifully cut, basic style,

Dorothy Dix Says
Sensible Mothers Will Not Keep
A Leash on Young Daughters

Dear Miss Dix: My daughter, who
Is not quite II, has become a great
problem. Instead of being content
to spend her evenings with the
family she wants to have dates and
60 out with what she calls "the
gang" Worse still, when I refused
to let her go she told me that If
I did not give her more liberty she
would 60 without my permission.
She even threatens to leave home.
How can I prevent her from run
ming wild like the rest Of the young
people?-B. J. L.
Answer-Perhaps your daughter
wouldn't seem quite so much Of a
problem If you would think back
to the time when you were nearly
II. 1t is because parents forget
what they were like when they were
boys and girls that they get so
pessimistic about their own chill
dren and lie awake at night wonder
ing what the world is coming to,
and glooming over the depravity of
modern youth.
You are worried sick over your
16-year-old who wants to do what
all the other youngsters are doing; !;
whose feet are aching to dance
and who wants to run with the
crowd instead of spending her eve
nings at home in the bosom of the
family. But isn't that exactly the
way you felt and what you wanted

success? Great! You couldn't have
q better attitude toward your new
adventure.
We've just been talking to a couple
Of college men and women, and we
asked them how they like their
freshmen. 1t may surprise you to
learn that these campus veterans
prefer the newcomers a little green,
q bit naive, trif1e on the wide
eyed, wondering side.
I'm always skeptical of the fresh
man who's too much of smoothie,"
Is the way one chairman Of fra
ternity rushing committee put it.
If a fellow pretends to know all
the answers, and is cynical about
college, we consider him poor ma
terial. Give me the boy who is
quietly self-confident, but who
knows he has q lot to learn; the
fellow with enthusiasm, and alert
interest, and a little diffidence. He's
the freshman who will amount to
something and who will be really
smooth a little later. The wise
newcomer who acts as though every
thing were old stun to him is al
most sure to be q phoney.'
Greenness Is Expected
In Newcomer.
His opinion was echoed by girl
who last year was elected secretary
of her class. and who hasn't missed
dance since she matriculated
Upper classmen expect freshmen tc
be greenland they like them that
way. They may pretend that the
neophytes amuse them, but it's a
kindly, sympathetic sort of amuse-
ment. And that's a far better SEN
timent to create than the annoy
ance or ridicule that is inspired py
the fellow or girl who apparently
learned everything there was tc
learn while still in high school.

Meats are skyrocketing, too-for
no good reason that I can discover
It seems to be a psychological cause
rather than an actual one, for GER
tainly there has been no change in
Washington's meat supply since
last week. There hasn't been time
for any real pressure to have been
brought to bear-and so again I
say keep a steady head, buy the
cheapest cuts and wait to see what
develops.
There Is Plenty
OF Everything.
Our markets are full to overflow
Ing with everything one could wish.
There is no scarcity of any food
with the possible exception of fish,
which this week has been bit
hard to get, due probably to the
severe storms that have been sweep
ing the sea coasts Even here the
war intruded-one dealer laughing
ly remarked he guessed the fish
were so scared of submarines and
depth bombs that they'd all gone
into hidingD But in spite of this
so-called scarcity I saw plenty OF
sea food everywhere, with nice lit
tie Norfolk spots among the best
buys of all. oysters are, of course,
with us, but 1 must admit I don t
yearn for them until the weather
and the water have turned truly
chill.
Meats, as I said before, are really
higher in most instances. Pork and
its smoked relatives, such as bacon,
ham, ETC., have started reaching for
the moon. Lamb is still pretty rea-
sonable, and veal seems very good
and not too expensive. Stick to
stews and meat pies and pot roasts
for while!
There have been a number of
fresh young turkeys from nearby
seen recently in the markets. There
is not always a supply on hand, but
they do come in from time to time
and are a welcome and economical
change from our summertime meats
and poultry. They average from
8 to IL pounds and are deliciously
tender and plump. Young roasting
chickens are also excellent just now

is especially good; eggplants from
New Jersey are round and smooth
and almost too pretty to eat. Peas
are selling very reasonably indeed;
there are nice white radishes for
cooking and tender green broccoli.
Country Gentleman corn and
homegrown okra are seen on all
sides. The lima beans in general
are too big and fat to suit me-and
the shelled baby ones are too high
in price for the average budget.
AS for fruit. There is a wealth of

ines, blueberries, seckel pears and
the big, juicy Bartletts; Rocky
Ford melons, papayas, small but
excellent pineapples, and so on and
on-so many items that we haven't
space enough to list them for you!
They are all of excellent quality,
and their prices haven't joined the
sky-high movement as yet.
