The Handling
OF Disabled
Children
Let Youngster Live
AS Normally as
It Is Possible
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Accidents happen. They are never
welcome, never come to anybody in
vited, but they come. Children are
hurt, sometimes so badly that they
are injured for life. A lame leg, q
useless arm, some awful burden
comes to them early and stays to
the end. What Is to be done about
it.?
Fathers and mothers feel so bad
about the injured child's predica-
ment that they usually do the worst
thing possible, make a pet of him
If ever child needed to stand
alone, to feel himself adequate in
his own right, it is the handicapped
child. Some consideration we must
always show him, but along with it
must 60 evidence that we believe
him capable of taking care Of him
self in most OF the situations life
imposes upon him.
Let the lame child walk as much
as he is able. Don't let him sit in q
chair and be waited upon. Let him
help himself to the things he needs,
60 after them, and If at all possible
let him do his share of the family
running.
Have faith in his ultimate success
in overcoming his handicap. Give
a thought to those brave men and
women who have lived useful, even
outstanding lives Of service lying in
bed or bound to a chair, and encour-
age this disabled one to do like
wise
Don't, above all else, hide the
child or his infirmity. That is fatal
to his mental, physical and spiritual
development. Let the world know
it If 1t must. Say nothing about it
but be as casual about him as you
are about the other children. Teach
the child to do the same. You
are lame? It's too bad, but after
all 1t doesn't matter so much. Go
ahead and forget It,"
Keep searching for ways of use
fulness for him. you can do this
easily" is much better than say
ing, Now be careful. Don't tire
yourself. Be careful"
Try to treat this child as YOU dc
the other children. Don't soften
your voice when you speak to him
unless you would do SO with his
sturdy brother. Correct him when
he is wrong. Don't excuse his bad
manners, his selfishness, his impa-
tience, any more than you would
another child's, but hold him to q
healthy standard Of behavior, within
his own power.
We don't ask a lame child to
dance If he doesn't have the power
We don't ask child with withered
or missing hand to sew a fine seam
unless he discovers he is quite able to
do so. We ignore those things he
cannot do and supply him with
plenty of opportunity to do what he
can do and hold him to the stand
ard he can reach.
| Letting such children see you are
sorry for them is bad. Showing
this feeling by treating them differ
emily is quite as bad. Letting them
live as normally as possible and with
other children as much as possible
is better. A scolding, kiss, a direc-
ton and word of praise, a place
IN life, recognition of power, lust
what other children, what all chill
dren need, is what this child ought
to have

BY BARBARA BELL.

One of the very best of the new
fashions inspired by fashioned
album frocks (and they're the very
smartest kind for falD is this pep
lum style. There's something so
saucy and youthful about it, and
1t calls attention to the tiny waist
line that everybody covets this sea-
son.
BY making this simple design in
your own chosen materials-wool
crepe, faille or fiat crepe-you can
be among the first to wear this ex-
tremely important fashion, and
without making any appreciable
dent in your budget Put gay little
twinkling buttons down the front,
as your grandmother did on her best
basques. and wear one of the blaz-
ing new necklaces at the collarless
top.

model and that's just what the fash
ion world has been needing" And
she's perfectly right. Formal gowns
have achieved new silhouettes, i'm
provements and variation in fabrics,
trimmings and colors. and have as
sumed a general air of elegance that
will be hard to beat.
Silhouettes Permit
Suitable Choice.
You must be elegant" That's the
keynote of the whole formal scene,
50 bear it in mind when you pur-
chase. Two distinct silhouettes
stand out so far and they offer the
chance to select a becoming type
First, of course, there is the pencil
slim line, sheathGke and downright
"slinky." The sophisticated woman
with an excellent figure will be likely
to choose a velvet or crepe dress
that hugs the figure and may be
split from hem almost to knee. This
idea was emphasized in some Of the
Paris shoWings, you know, and seems
likely to be favorite here.
At the other extreme is the full
skirted type which is especially well
done in faille and bengaline. But
more about the fabrics later. OF in
70 ho ho{
are to be used, but in a very diff
ferent way from last year. The 1889
versions are actually frames under
the dress and the fullness is not low
but rather centered about the hip
to create hustle effect all the way
around. Now there is very def
mite reason for this: Accent in all
clothes is on a tiny waistline and
what could emphasize it more than
an exaggerated fullness at the hips?
Speaking of the hustle, it is con-
spicuous by its absence in most of the
very new models. The suggestion
is there, and back interest or back
talk" as it is often called, still is one
of the leading fashion motifs How
ever, you will discover that the bus
tie suggestion may take the form of
q tiny padded peplum or a full
but fiat working of material at the
derriere. Bustles. however, did not
last in their first form. And we
won't say II toldya So"
Fabrics Stress the
Elegant Trend.
Next to silhouette fabrics are of
principal interest. Failles and ben
galines look as though they were
going to be very important, and the

vets, crepes and lame-the last for
those who can afford it-all are stiff
fabrics that reflect the ladylike
trend of present fashions. Even the
old-fashioned changeable taffeta has
been revived and is most effective
when done in skirt and used with
long-sleeved top of velvet. Every
rich material is being used, and none
has escaped the watchful eyes of
designers. Most interesting, too, is
the lavish use of trimming on fab
RIGS. Embroidery, jewels and sequins
are used with generous hand, and
this is especially true on the dinner
suits, which, have become more IA
nous than ever this year. These
suits are usually composed of a
decollette gown topped by perky
long-sleeved jacket of the same ma
terial. They are most effective in
velvet and have been adopted en-
Enthusiastically, both here and in New
York. Larger women find them be-
coming, too, which is help.
The reason we stress the fact that
larger women find them flattering
is mainly because almost all Of the
new clothes look as though they had
been designed on a size II model.
This overemphasis on a tiny waist
makes all clothes appear extremely
youthful and tiny and gives us the
feeling that the small girl has all
the advantages. However, this is
not entirely true. It is certain that
a small waist is terrifically impor-
tant, but there are plenty Of styles
for the stouter woman. Corsets
should help, too, and youll even
find little corselets or girdle effects

which, when applied, will bring re-
newed vigor, better appearance and
restored health"
The quoted words are those of q
food authority whose teachings on
the science Of eating are bringing
better health and more beauty to
an increasing number of people in
this and other countries.
His theory of proper eating is so
simple and SO effective it cannot
help but have great following. He
believes (after years of arduous re-
search and study that the body
thrives best on a balanced menu
which contains so per cent of pro-
tective foods (which are fruits and
vegetables and the juices Of BOTH ,
20 per cent proteins (meats, sea
foods, cheese, nuts, legumes, eggs +,
10 per cent carbohydrates (dried
fruits, natural sweets, fresh starchy
foods, starches) and 10 per cent
hydrocarbons fats and oils.
Learn to Know
Food Values.
Few of us take the trouble To
learn about foods until we become
i'll and it is necessary to go on a
corrective diet" That diet is usu-
ally guesswork. This or that food
is taken from us and then the re-
result is checked If there is no i'm
provement, those foods are REIN
stated in our menus, and others are
prohibited. Finally we may arrive
at list which gives us comfort and
which may or may not correct the
ailment of which we complain. And
while we are treating that particu-
lar ailment we are most likely starv-
ing the body Of specific foods upon
which non-ailing parts depend!
How much i'll health, unhappi-
ness, expense and worry we could
avoid if We would but learn how to
eat correctly and thus avoid the
numerous diseases which seem to be
ravaging civilized society! All of us
could remain younger longer and
enjoy life more keenly if we would
1--we according to the sane, health
rules of life-proper nourishment
for the climate in which We live,
sufficient rest and exercise-and a
balance between work and play.
Counting Galleries
Unnecessary.
Somehow the caloric theory con-
fused a great many people. When
they were told to count their calo-
ries they were simply in a fog! And
don't blame them for being in that
fog! For even food authorities seem
to disagree upon the counts of calo-
ries-one will say there are 80 calo-
ries in slice of bread, another will
tell you there are so. So counting
daily intake of calories is almost All
impossible job.
There is absolutely no need to

! to her except to insult and revile
her.
Many another woman married to
man who drinks or CANDLES or
philanders or for whom she has to
work and support shuts her eyes to
his faults because he treats her as
a Lady Love in his sober moments
or uses upon her the technique and
the charm that make him lady
killer and is so interesting and COM
panionable that he somehow makes
life worth while and his faults for
givable.
Unfortunately, for some inexpli-
cable reason. many old people seem
to think that age gives them the
right to make themselves disagree
able to live with. They boast that
they say just what they think and
do what they please. that they are
not going to change their ways and
If Mary's husband and Johns wife
don't like 'em they can lump 'em.
This attitude on the part of the
old is what makes the problem of
father or mother going to live with
their children such a tragic one, for
the old people cannot understand
why their children do not want to
have them The children cannot ex-
plain that while they themselves
may be willing to put up with the
old folks idiosyncrasies, they do
not feel that they have a right to
force their children and wives and
husbands to live in a home that is
made place Of torment by the per-
petual nagging and criticism Of a
querulous old man or woman.

Girl Visiting Boy
Alone in House
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t wrong for me
to go to the house Of boy know
very well, to play ping-pong when
his family is out? I did this the
other evening. 1t was very early
IN the evening, but mother was
furious about it. l stopped in with
him for a game without even think
ing to ask if his family were at
home. But on thinking about it
now I would not have asked be-
cause that would have looked as
though I was afraid to go into his
home alone with him. Mother won't
understand that making a sudden
fuss is just going to spoil everything.
We've been best friends for years
and I've known his people my whole
life long. Oh, Mrs. Post, can't you
understand?
AnsWer-Yes, I think I under
stand perfectly and I agree that
suddenly making fuss would be
exactly like breaking something OF
great value. 1t was entirely natural
to do exactly what you did; and
having gone into the house it was
best to play the game and then leave
promptly, but casually. On the
other hand, I can also understand
your mothers attitude. I think,
however, that she will give you an
other answer if you explain your
point of view as you did to me. In
other words, I doubt whether she
would want you to make the mis-
take of bringing self consciousness
into your spontaneous friendship
with this-or any other-boy. AT
the same time this does not mean
that mean 1t a good idea to keep
on running into his house when
none of his family is there.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have twin sis
ters who are five years older than I
am and another sister who Is sew
eral years younger. Usually, I be-
lieve, an older sister is chosen for
the attendant of honor, but in this
case I think it would be nice to have
the twin sisters walk together. They
look very much alike and naturally
would look best walking together.
Will it be wrong to choose the baby
sister for the place of highest honor?
Answer-It doesn't make bit Of
difference to any one except the
bride and the attendant concerned
which sister is maid of honor. I
think under the circumstances
everybody will know why the un-
matching one was chosen to walk
alone.
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister is %
wears old and I'm 16. We are taking
an apartment together-you see, we
are all alone now. Will our living
alone mean that I can never have
boy friend come to the apartment, or
give little parties unless my sister Is
home? The reason I am worrying
about this is that my sister Is a pro-
fessional woman and isn't home very
much.
Answer: If a boy goes often to see
you when your sister is at home, then
no one will criticise you as they GER
tainly would should he never go to
see you or call for you except when
she happens to be out. OF course,
you must not let a boy come in
later than very early evening. Nor
must you give parties only when you
know your sister will not be home.

Old-Age Insurance
and Unemployment
Insurance Distinct
Social Security Number As
Used In Both Systems Is
Only Similarity

Confusion still exists in the minds
of some Ohians regarding unemploy-
ment compensation and old-age insur-
ance programs, according to accumu-
lated reports in the Ohio Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation.
Social Security account numbers
are used for purposes of Identification
and record keeping in both systems
However the two agencies are entirely
separate, it is pointed out by Warren
A. Mathews, Manager of the Bureaus
East Liverpool office.
Judging from the great number of
questions, it is observed that many
claimants for unemployment compen-
sation consider that their right to out
of-work benefits is based on deductions
from their wages" Mr.. Mathews said
"Such is an erroneous conclusion, be-
cause the Ohio worker pays nothing
for unemployment compensation COW
erage, and any deductions from his
wages are for his old-age insurance.
"The Ohio law expressly prohibits
any deduction from the wages of any
worker for the purpose of unemploy.
ment compensation benefits. Both the
worker and the employer are taxec
under the oldrage benefits program
which is administered by the Fedora
Government" Mr.. Mathews added.
