Gro,Uing With Your Child
University of Minnesota Institute of Child Welfare

ready for school, the only sure and
definite cure to cure lies in making the
child responsible for himself. AS long
as he knows that eventually his mother
will scramble around and find his cap,
wash his face, and comb his hair, he
won't take the initiative in doing these
things for himself. If child has got
into the habit of dilly- dallying, and
then expecting help at the last minute,
the only thing to do is to warn him
and withhold the help. Time him for
a few days, to find out how long it &C
tually takes him to dress and eat, then
call him at the required hour, and tell
him it is up to him to get to school on
time.
But he'll be late!" cries the appre-
hensive mother. What if he is? That
will be the best possible lesson in show
ing him that he must learn to rely on
himself. Tell his teacher privately, If
you like, that you are trying the ex-
pertinent, so that she will understand
the situation, and handle his hardness
wisely. 1t will be hard to control your
desire to urge him to hurry, and tc
scurry around in the effort to get him
off promptly. But if you can manage tc
keep in mind that you are doing it fol-
his lasting benefit, you'll presently fine
that the problem has disappeared anc
that your child is enjoying being self
reliant

What is the keynote to smart spring
dressing? The keynote is good groom
ing Maticulous grooming is always the
keynote of being well dressed. This
year no matter how carefully you ar
range your hair, it won't rate even half
glance unless it has been brushed to
shining glory. Use enough makeup
to subtly accent your coloring, but never
enough to cover up your skin.
What is the woman'S perfection
standard for 1889? A jury of famous
women who are fashion and beauty
authorities have set forth these rules
for us to try to live up to or forget.
The measurements for the 1889 ideal
girl are height 5 feet z inches without
heels (this is inches taller than last
years ideal GRID, weight of 100 pounds
(this is 5 pounds heavier than any
fashion weight rating for the past Is
years., a bust measurement of 3412
inches, and a waist that is 26 inches
The catch is that the ideal girl must
look muscularly rounded but not volup-
tuously curved.
Bleached blondes, fake carrot tops and
henna queens are out of the picture
Green and violet eyes take the lead over
baby blue ones. Skin and hair must
radiate good health. Plucking eyebrows
to thin line is definitely out, and SO
| is everything that gives an artificial
look to a woman.
The much discussed upswept hair
dress is voted out this year. In its
place we have a softly curled short bob
or hair swept softly back to show a
natural hairline and then curled to fall
| forward.

BIG DROP In
| ARRESTS HERE
Only One-third as Many for
First Three Months of '39
as in Previous Years.

Arrests in Ely during the first three
months of 1899 decreased by two-thirds
as compared to January, February and
March of recent years, Chief Douglas
Nankervis of the Ely police force, states
1.-The closing of taverns at the proper
hours is responsible for this decrease, y
Nankervis declared.
Recently Mayor B. M. Lambert issued
orders that tavernS observe the law
in regard to closing time and the Serv-
ing of drinks other than beer unless
they are licensed for sale of liquors
These regulations are being rigidly en-
forced, the Chief states.
Taverns selling only 80 beer are re-
quired by state law to close at l a. m
at night, and they cannot open until
noon on Sundays.

DAWDLING

INV four-year-old is so slow about
eating that our meals are anything but
pleasant" What can you do when a
seven-year-old who can dress himself
very easily is so poky that it requires
the efforts of the whole family to get
him ready for school?"
Such questions are so frequent as to
make it seem probable that dawdling IS
a natural and normal activity-or lack
of activity-in children. It makes one
wonder if we don't expect too much in
the way of time-senSe in young child
rem. Because adults have learned
through practice to live by the clock is
really no reason for expecting children
to acquire such habits without training.
Take the slow eater, for example.
Young children are seldom interested
in food for it's own sake. They can
think of a great many more interesting
things to do than to sit still and eat
neatly Sometimes a child has become
a slow eater because he has closed his
mind to the many admonitions that
are being given him-to chew well, to
take small bites, not to spill his milk,
and so on. If he succeeds in becoming
deaf to his mothers entreaties, he can
daydream to his hearts content-and
thus forgets to keep on eating. In such
case, it often helps to give child notice
of how much time he has Quitting the
clock right on the table if necessary
and showing him where the hands will
be when the half hour is up), and then
to make no comments whatever, but
simply to remove the food at the end
of the period, and give no more until
the next meal.
Again, a child may dawdle because
he's so much more interested in the
adults conversation that he IS in his
food 1t may seem like stern meas
ure to tell him that unless he can keep
up with the rest, he must eat alone, but
it sometimes works After all, it is hard
to do more than one thing at time
and it takes some adjustment for him
to learn to eat, and listen, and con-
tribute to the conversation as well.
Sometimes children are slow eaters
because they enjoy the attention they
get, in which case a wholesome neglect
is indicated. If a child finds that he
can, by eating slowly enough, succeed
in getting someone to feed him, he may
deliberately set out to become de-
pendent.
AS for the child who is slow in getting

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 6.-Today
we are going to conduct a spring
fashion quiz, and our first question is
what is the most important style trend
for spring?
The answer to this question is, en-
phatically, the revival of the shirt
waist. We saw its beginning last
spring and we called it the Gibson
Girl" and early 1900 influence. This
season We have a new name for it..
We call it the gypsy style. 1t was
brought to our attention as such during
the recent Paris openings. Designer
Gabrielle Chanel introduced it. Pace
settlers and store buyers went wild over
it, and so it became springs most i'm
portant style trend.
The second question automatically
follows: Since we are going to wear
shirtwaists, and most of them sheer
and even transparent, what are we
going to wear underneath them?
We are going to wear the old
fashioned camisoles under our blouses.
They have already arrived in numerous
versions. For example, you can match
white or tea rose gathered-at-the
waist petticoat with a lace trimmed
canisole. Or you can buy one-piece
slip with a lacy camiSole top. Best OF
all, white cotton underwear has come
back to fashion. Stores are showing
snowy muslin petticoatS made with dust
ruffles and ribbon threaded beading,
These have matching camiSoleS. An
other cotton style is the slip with the
camisole top and dust ruffel bottom.
Cottons can be kept so starched and
white that women are taking to them
in big way. Then too, they are not
expensive. For those women who do
not wish to return to the camisole,
certain foundations and brassiers are
being made with decorative tops that
are quite all right for wear just be-
meath sheer blouse.
What trend from the Palm Beach
season is being carried into our spring
and summer fashion picture? Infor-
mality for all daytime occasions. Life,
as well as our clothes though they may
look feminine, is returning to sim
plicity and a natrralness that is most
pleasing. Even in the largest of cities
hardly anyone dresses up until evening.
and then for the spring and summer
months city jewellers turn to simple
rather than elaborate evening clothes.
Also, out of the Palm Beach season
come new colors-citron shades, browns,
all the yellows and a coppery color
called japonica.

Nearly Half of Cancer
Deaths Are Needless
s:.:;::;s.,.,.::;:s:
;.;;:::..::.;.:::ss

Close to 1000 persons died needlessly
from cancer in Minnesota last year.
This IS the estimate of Minnesota
physicians. 1t is based upon reliable
studies made over period of many
years and it is given by officials of the
Minnesota State Medical association
today as the reason why cancer was
selected as subject for April in the
associations series of monthly educa-
tional campaigns to be carried on
Throughout 1885, Last months sub
ject in the series was the degenerative
diseases of middle age and next months
subject will be care of mothers and
babies. The cancer campaign coin
cides with the April membership cam
paign of the Women's Field Army
Against Cancer which has the support
and approval of the doctors.
Cancer was second only to heart dis
ease as a cause of death in Minnesota
last year. The total number of deaths
for the year was 3,775. It has increased
each year since 1925 and the reason
for the increase, in the opinion of the
medical association officials, lies chief
ly in the fact that more people are
living each year to the age when cancer
makes its appearance.
In spite of the fact that much still
remains to be discovered about the
cause and control of cancer, enough is
known today so that complete cure can
be promised in close to half of all cases
if they are treated early enough. Only
about 10 or Is per cent of cancer cases
are cured, however, and the physicians
believe they have ample evidence now
that more than half the annual deaths
are needless and could have been pre-
vented by early treatment.

Petrified Worm
Found In Well,

Blue Eearth-In the process of drill
ing well at the canning factory a
Clipped off rock of about the size of a
half dollar was brought to the surface
while drawing up slush from depth of
about $50 feet. The rock shows un-
mistakable evidence of petrified life at
great depths. Embedded in it was what
appeared to be a petrified worm, about
a quarter of an inch thick and an inch
and half long. It resembles some of
the common, heavily segmented worms
seen about in summer. The formation
is as hard as the rock itself.

Adolph Rosetter doesn't think so much
of this day of rest business prescribed
by the patrol. 1t is too dangerous.
Now take last Friday for instance. Fri
day was Patrolman RoSetter's day off
and he and Francis Wilson started up
on the highway in the latter's car and
went into the ditch. That was &C
cident No. /. A short time later Patrol
man Rosetter, driving his own car and
accompanied by Bert Brown, started to
make turn when the car skidded and
crashed into lamp post, completely
demoliShing the cars fender That was

either accident.

Auto Runs AUay'
With Young Rider.

international Falls-There's a parent
in town who has received both the scare
and lesson of her life. She parked her
car with the motor still running and
in the car she left her small child
While she was in the store the child
showed the shifting gear into reverse.
The car backed wildly down the street
for about so feet, careened all the way
to the other side of the street and
crashed into another parked automobile.
Fortunately the child was not hurt, but
both cars were damaged. Moral: Do
not leave your car motor running when
you park.

Health Officials Nome Handling
 Measles Gases

pr. Thomas Morcom, Public Health Officer for Nome, scoffed reports received from the States that there was an outbreak of spinal meningitis at Unalakleet, or that the current spread of German measles among the na- tive populations of Nome were alarming and getting beyond con- trol in the epidemic stage, when interviewed today.
 Officially, he declared today there were not more thas 150 cases of measles turnout the en- tire community of Nome.
 At the King Island settlement at the east end of town there are possibly 70 cases; among the Dio- mede Islands on the Sandspit, about 25 or 30; and about 10 or 12 among the remainder of Nome ties" he said.
 "The estimate of 150, would allow plenty of margin in esti- mating the total,' declared Dr. Morcom.
 Dr. Morcom stated that all pub lie health officials in Nome were taking care of the known cases. and urged the public if cases oc- sur to report them promptly and thus permit them to be isolated and prevent further rontagion.
