By MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Every day a Boston bull terrier we
know of goes to work in the city.
Sometimes he is accompanied by a
lady, more often by gentleman, but
go to work he does. Just what his
occupation might be we've never
found out. But the only time he
missed keeping regular Office hours
last winter was during heavy snow
storm. He was late that morning!
One noted writer has called the
Boston" Uncle Sans pet by ap-
polntment. Others, when they wish
to feel patriotic in a canine theme.
refer to him as Americas dog. +"
Possibly that's because he's Ameri-
can-bred following an American
ideal. Whatever the reason, his fans
are ardent.
The black and white gentleman
originated in Boston. His mother
was bulldog, his father a brindle
bull terrier. Going a little behind
the father one finds an English
white terrier and the old black and
tan or Border terrier" The tan and
white colors gave the early breeders
many a bad moment. Tan would
pop up. Then thered be too much
white. The dam of the breed caused
less trouble. Her stock was steadier.
No one worried much over weight
in the beginning. Tis said each of
the early forebears tipped the scales
at about 80 pounds. The breeds
managed to come down to the neigh
borhood of IS pounds per canine at
the present date.
Bostons as breed weren't recog-
nized by the American Kennel Club
until 1898. That was due to habit
the dogs had of reverting to ex-
treme types. One would look too
much like grandmother, the other
like grandfather. The idea was that
they should all look alike. The A. K.
c. has always felt that way about a
breed and saw no reason why they
should change in 1890, even if the

Temper Tantrums
Must Be Stopped
Immediately
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Business passed out, and Sally's
father and mother had to go back
home with her until way out
could be found. The old folks well
coined the child, and soon she un-
derstood that her will was the law
as far as they went. Whenever her
father or mother made any sugges-
ton or gave her any direction con-
trary to her wishes she went into a
temper tantrum. Nothing pacified
her until she had her way. Her
parents were helpless, because they
dreaded making a scene in their
parents home. Things went from
bad to worse until Aunt Ida visit
ed her father and mother at the
homestead.
why don't you do something to
control Sally?" she asked her sister
as soon as they were alone, after
one of Sally's tantrums.
What can I do? Father and
mother will take her part, and I'll
only make a scene for nothing.
I've tried every way to get them to
see that she is becoming unbearable,
but they won't have it. I'd like
mighty well to correct the child but
I'm afraid we just have to wait
until we get back to our own
home"
Don't you wait another day.
While I'm here you attend to her,
and I'll attend to father and moth
err Next time she raises a yell you
shove her into the bathroom and
douse her face with cool water un-
til she stops. Then put her to bed to
sleep it off"
Il thought I'd put her in her
room to scream it out"
And have them going to her res
cue. Anyway, screaming tires her
out and annoys the household into
the. bargain. Cool water won't hurt
her any. and it will stop the tantrum
quicker. Just go to it and splash
her we'll until she understands she's
licked"
Strengthened by her sisters COM
mon sense and encouragement
Sally's mother halted the next tan
trum at the start by using the cold
water. Sally was SO surprised and
shocked that she couldn't yell much
and when dried and dressed for bed
was penitent and sweet enough to
be angelic After a nap she was
quite her cheerful. happy self.
Temper tantrums should not be
permitted. The child uses them to
force older people to his will. That
is bad enough. 1t gives him a false
idea of his power and it tends to
bad habits of thought and behavior
that leave lasting traces on the
child's character. But the habit is
likely to do harm to the childs nerv-
Gus system. Nerves form habits,
and if those habits lead to disease,
as some of them do, the result is a
lifetime handicap. Temper leads to
hysteria and if that is not cured
promptly the patient is, to say the
least, unfortunate.
Some children start crying in pro-
test, without temper. They cry so
long that the crying gets out of
control. and what started as
comforting crying spell ends in hys-
terics. Teach children that they are
to do their crying in the privacy of
their own rooms. Nobody is to see
them cry. Insist upon that and send
weepers to their rooms right at the
start.

Dorothy Dix Says
Mothers With 16.Year.Old
Daughters Have a Problem

Dear Miss Dix: How much lib
erty should be given a 16-year-old
girl? Should she be permitted to
go out with boys and girls for a good
time, or should she be kept in like
child? How much chaperoning
should be given her? A lot of us
mothers who have adolescent daugh-
ters are up against problem that
we do not know how to solve.
MRS. C.
Answer-Certainly the mother of
16-year-old girl is on the spot.
She needs the wisdom of a sage and
the finesse of diplomat in dealing
with a young creature who thinks
she knows more than she will ever
know again in the world, who is
drunk on her first draught of free
DOM who is determined to have her
own way; who thinks that her par
entS and all people above the age
of 18 are fossils whose opinions are
something left over from the Stone
Age.
But the thing has to be done.
There is Sadie who, at 16, can't be
wished back into babyhood as her
mother devoutly wishes could be
done. Sadie's problem has to be
dealt with. And the best advice that
I can give to her mother is to drive
with a light rein, but keep it taut
enough to drag the girl back when
she begins to show signs of taking
the bit in her mouth and running
away.
Realize that you can't keep your
daughter from doing all the things
that all the boys and girls with
whom she associates do, but you can
make her do things in moderation
If you don't let her have any dates
or go to any parties, she will regard
herself as prosecuted martyr and
you as a tyrant, and you will lose
your influence over her. Also, she
will lie to you and sneak away to do
the forbidden things on the sly.

braclng effect on your scalp. 1t gives
the hair luster and pliancy. and
does not leave faky particles on top.
The creator of this lotion is a dy-
manic woman who believes that life
is too short to spend hours sitting
under dryer waiting for a sticky
lotion to set" Her new product
is said to dry in Is to 20 minutes, de-
pending on the thickness of your
hair. 1t may be used either at home
Tor your own wave sets, or many
women will take it with them to
their beauty salons. And anything
that will cut down your simmering
time under the dryer is blessing.
Treatment for
Fingernails.
One of the smartest ideas yet to
be introduced is that of giving your
nails an oil shampoo. You know
how the same idea gives sparkling
brllliance to the hair, so why not
try it at your fingertips? There
is a new product designed to give
your nails a clean, scrubbed look. at
the same time working oils into
stubborn cuticles. The package con-
tains bottle of foamy substance
that resembles rich, creamy milk.
First you wet the nails with water,
then apply the lotion underneath
with the RUBBER tipped applicator
that comes with it. Hold the nails
downward so that dead cuticle and
CRIME flow down. Work the appli-
Gator around the cuticle to soften
and lubricate it. Some of the pack
ages also contain rubber nail scrub
and sponge, which gives added luster
and brilliance to the nails
1t does seem fine idea to cleanse
and lubricate the nails at the same
time and should prove a boon to
business girls troubled with carbon
dirt and office CRIME. Try keeping
package in the desk drawer if you're
particular about your hands.
With all the talk about the visit
Of English royalty it's no wonder
that famous English cosmetic firm
has dedicated its new shade of
makeup to the Queen. 1t is a deli
cate rose pink that is symbolic of
her majestys preference for pastels
in clothes and cosmetics and it fits
in beautifully with our present fash
ion trend toward simplicity and
ultra a-feminine modes. The new en-
semble includes ipstick, rouge and
nail enamel and can be worn with
the shade of powder best suited to
your coloring.
Sunburn Cream
Is Helpful.
It's not too early to start think
ing about sunburn preventives.
These first hot days are just as
hard on the skin as any summer
weather, and it's a wise girl who
knows the value of cream as a pro-
lection. A particularly popular one
will prevent burning if applied
often and in generous quantities,
and since fashion says mo tans"
this season. you should investigate.
However, if you want to tan, the
cream applied in varying amounts
will enable you to get just the right
shade, whether you prefer dainty
cafe au lait color or a dark, Ha-
Wallan tan. Lots of women like
this particular brand as a powder
oase, and many man has been
caught using it to prevent lobster
red neck, face-or bald spot!

But as long as she is in school you
can limit her dates to over the week
end only. She will recognize the
justice and fairness of that, and
you can be nice to the boys and girls
who come to the house and she will
be grateful for that. think that
1t is mistake on every account not
to let girl play around with bows
after she is IA. If you segregate a
girl from boys. you make them
romantic creatures in her eyes and
you are sure to make her boy crazy:
while if she has known Johnny and
Freddy all of her life they have no
glamor for her. Also, unless a girl
gets her technique in handling boys
While she is growing up she is awk-
ward and doesn't know how to
manage them when she is grown.
AS for chaperoning girl, a mother
has to do that under cover these
days. She has to keep her eye on
Sadie without Sadie suspecting it.
She can best do that if she lets
Sadie bring her friend to the house
so she can know what sort of boys
she is associating with.
Dear Miss Dix: I am looking
for a girl with the following
classification: Height, feet 4 inches.
Eyes, blue. Light brown hair.
Weight, about lis pounds. Good
family background. Not conceited
Good sense of humor. Good cook
and housekeeper. Popular, but not
too popular. Good looking. No
makeup. No glasses. Doesn't smoke
or drink. Economical Small-town
girl preferred Should 1 wait until
I meet this girl or should I marry
some one else? WONDERING.
Answer am afraid you will have
to marry some one else, as you will
hardly be able to find any one girl
who will come up to all of your
specifications. DOROTHY DIX.
