- RAISING A FAMILY - Parent Who'd Teach Child "Selective Generosity
 Faces Knotty Problems

And Vicltor had to be entertained Take him out and let him try your scooter" said mother.
 But you said not to lend it to anybody" her son reminded her You said that Daddy wouldn't want it bent"
 But this is different. Victor is your guest. He came ever SO far to see you. You must be kind and make him have good time"
 All Very Confusing
 "But Andy came to see me, too. He crossed lots of streets to come, and he had nothing to play with. He"
 What a little arguer you are," sighed mother. You can think up more things to say and every word I utter is used against me"
 What, mother?"
 "Oh, never mind. Just run along, the two of you, and have a good time."
 Outside stood Andy. He had a wonderful new wagon. It be- longed to his brother, who is in school, but who allowed Andy to use it when he was not delivering papers.
 T came to give you a ride" said Andy. T can give him a ride, too," pointing at the new boy.
 Billy and Victor were wild about the wagon. It was much better than the scooter. Mother started to call them back, as he could not allow favors to be accepted unless return ed. Then she said, 'They are all so generous. I can't interfere. They know better than I do."

Billy sees him and calls, Hello Andy" And Andy says "Hello," his eyes on Billy's shining blue scooter. "I'll give you a ride" offers our William. Down to the corner and back. You can work it."
 Andy tries several times and loses his balance. The scooter falls side- ways and Andy gets some bumps. But finally he manages to keep it steady and away he goes like bird skimming the sky. He is so happy he laughs all the way.
 Billy's mother calls her boy in. Billy, I don't want you giving rides to wandering children" she said. Andy should not be here at all. And, besides, Daddy said you had to be careful of your present. It will get dinged and spoiled if you keep lending it to people,"
 "Andy isn't strange. I know him. I gave him that candy you said to. And you said for me to be generous with my nice things"
 That's true, dear I did say that. But there are things to give and things to lend and others that we have to keep. I think it would be better not to let Andy ride your new scooter any more. Just tell him you are not allowed"
 One day some visitors came to spend the day. They brought Victor.

'@The Menopause." Thousands of women with healthy bodies and an intelligent understanding know from expereince that there is no crisis, no significant change, no danger and no disturbance of health associated with the menopause.
 Tonsils and Aden0ids
 Is there danger of serious compli- cations to a f1ve-year -old girl by de- laying much needed tonsil and ade- noid operation? CT. F)
 Arswer-AS a rule, no. If breath ing is obstructed or embarrassed the harm is rather gradual impairment of normal development of jaw, palate nasal chambers, chest, and chronic anoxia or under -oxygenation, which of course retards both physical and mental development. To many in- quiries about diathermy (electro- coagulation) of tonsils and adenoids it is ideal for children over ten years of age, but not applicable for chil- dren under six, since such young children rarely cooperate with the doctor as the patient must in order to employ the diathermy method successfully.

Anyone who tells you that your looks don't matter at either of tht Worlds Fairs so long as you see all of the exhibits, just doesn't know much about women.

 Pick your wardrobe carefully, choosing dresses which will pack perfectly and stay reasonably un- wrinkled and fresh in spite of hot weather.
 Take compact of cleansing pads to carry in your purse. It's mis- take ever to apply fresh makeup over stale.
 Choose a coiffure which doesn't require constant attention.
 Wear a brimmed hat during day. time hours. If not a brimmed hat, then sun glasses, by all means. Otherwise, you'll accumulate new network of fine lines around your eyes and across your forehead.
 Use your favorite anti-perspirant preparation often.
 Wear shoes with walking-height heels for actual sightseeing. Tired aching feet will spoil your appear ance, not to mention your fun. Un- cidentally, take bottle of foot To- tion and some foot powder and use both every night).
 Resolve to put layers of tissue paper between the folds of dresses and jackets which have to be pack ed.

In the current war in Europe the
diplomats and not the generals have
won the victories thus far. And the
conspicuous winner in this diplomatic
poker game is Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
the former champagne salesman who
became Hitler's foreign minister and
the greatest gambler OF our time.
1t was Won Ribbentrop who put over
the deals with Soviet Russia that amazed
the world. This smooth, youngish- look
ing man engineered the coup almost
single-handed, it is reported here. In
the triumphant hour he flew to Moscow
and "a hours later was photographed
In the Kremlin beside Stain at the be-
ginning of strange friendship. Later,
when Poland was partitioned, he went
back to sell another bill of goods to
Stain.
OF all the climbers who came to power
with Hitler none has travelled farther
or faster than Won Ribbentrop. At the
moment he stands at the top, having
put over one of the most extraordinary
diplomatic deals in recent history. There
are those who are deeply skeptical of
the ultimate outcome of the Soviet -Nazi
pact, believing that Russia has already
overshadowed Germany and will eventu-
ally take the dominant role. Neverthe-
less for the present the pact has served
the Nazi purpose and Ribbentrop is
the hero of the hour
AS the super-salesman of German for
eign policy he has made friends out of
enemies when it was convenient to do
so. The British, the Italians, the Rus
slams, have all listened to the suave
persuasion of Ribbentrop. His siren
voice has done not little to change
the face of Europe.
Glib Tongue Impresses Hitler.
Hitler was attracted to him In the
beginning because he was one of the
few persons around the Nazi leader who
knew the world outside Germany. He
speaks French and English with scarce
ly any accent and his travels for a wine
and liquor company had taken him all
over Europe. He has glib tongue and
Hitler was definitely impressed when
Ribbentrop attached himself to the Naz
party in the late 'twenties.
Then, too, Ribbentrop had more nearly
an aristocratic background than most of
Hitlers followers. He could lend the
color of respectability to what was, after
all, merely gang of adventures deter
mined on seizing power. So there was
every likelihood that he could be useful.
AS events have proved, Hitler has had
an uncanny knack for picking men to
serve his ends.
Ribbentrop was the son of colonel
in the army, born at Wesel on the
Rhine on April 80, 1893. An ancestor was
quartermaster general to Marshal Blu
cher at the Battle of Waterloo. Ribben-
trop went to school at Metz and COM
pleted his education in England and
Switzerland.
In 1910, at the age of 18, he went to
Canada In search of his fortune. His
family could not provide him with even
small income and he was therefore on
his own. He began by getting Job as
construction laborer on the great Que
bee Bridge then being built across the
st. Lawrence River. For two years he
did hard labor, part of it in the cais-
sons beneath the surface of the river.
With the outbreak of the first World
War in 1914, he started back to Germany
on Dutch ship. On the way the boat
