The Wakeful
Youngster
Needs Aid
Have a Specialist
Look at Child to
Locate Cause
By ANGELO PATRI.


Sleep usually comes naturally to
children. They sleep soundly, rest
fully, long hours. Occasionally we
find a child who does not follow the
pattern, but sleeps lightly. wakes
often, perhaps lies awake for hours
on end. This Is serious because the
child needs sleep for growth.
A wakeful child disturbs the
household. Everybody's sleep is
broken, consequently the family
is irritated. Mother is especially
distressed because she worries about
the child's health and the disturbed
rest of the other members of the
family In desperation she tries to
discipline the wakeful one.
I've spanked him hard but 1t
does no good" said one such trou-
bled mother.
Spanking is about the worst treat
ment a wakeful child can have.
Sleep will not come to a distressed
body and mind and spanking GER
tainly is not soothing. Talking,
scolding, anything that centers the
childs attention on his troubles
only increases them. Quiet, soothing
measures are needed.
First have the child specialist see
the child Go over the child'S back
ground thoroughly, trying to tell
the doctor about any possible cause
for nervous anxiety in the child's
mind Think about the people with
whom he must come in contact, the
children he plays with and his en-
tertainment to discover any over
stimulation there Examine his
whole being. physical and mental
for hidden causes. The wakefulneSS
will not be cured until the cause
is found and removed. Be assured
he won't grow out of it, without
help.
well-routined day, happily spent,
is great help. A warm bath before
getting into bed, a soothing rub
down, a gentle powdering, a sleepy
sort of story-one with plenty of
sing-Song repetition like 'The House
that Jack Built" or Creep Mouse"
are good aids. Soft, soothing
music or a lullaby helps some
children. But the one thing most
needed is contented mind.
1t does not take much to make
little children contented. All they
need is a feeling of security in the
affection of those about them;
simple play; simple, nourishing
food: kind and firm treatment; a
regulated consistently administered
life. Anybody who sets about giving
his children that sort of environ
ment can succeed. 1t is not mat
ter of simple routine and will to
see the job through.
There is no royal way to sue
cessful child training. No child has
ever grown into successful maturity
without giving his people plenty of
bother and worry. Rearing a child
is a lifetime's task. No two are
alike, so no two respond alike to the
same treatment. Always one must
adjust the training to the needs of
the individual child. But all chill
dren eat and sleep and grow accord
ing to schedule. varying slightly of

ally, is we'll stocked with fashion
necessities and is, as our bellboy
escort remarked, "a miniature
Macy's."
OF course, no report on the
America would be complete with
out mention of two most interest
ing Sections-the kennels and the
playroomS. In the former, canine
cruise passengers sleep in individual
compartments decorated with oil
paintings of dog champions. Each
compartment has a rack to hold a
mattress, and the rack can be put
down at night and drawn up in the
daytime to give Fido more room to
stretch. A doggy bathtub is also
included in these smart kennels,
where it would be almost a pleasure
to be put into the doghouse."
In the playroom, where the very
young set will spend great deal of
its time, there are all sorts of toys
and amuSements, including a doll
house big enough for your reporter
to go in and walk around. Adjoin-
ing the playroom is lavatory, COM
plete with. of all things, miniature
bathroom fittings!
When this is printed, the Amer
lea will be at sea on her maiden
commercial voyage, a 12-day cruise,
bearing with her Miss Urquhart and
Miss Marckwald, who will actually
discover how complete and salts
factory their decorations are. Both
of the smart career women have
been successful decorators for more
than IS years, proof enough that
their good taste and wide knowledge
were integral factors in the COM
pletion of this liner. which is the
essence of simple dignity.
Important, too, is the fact that
the woman's touch Is everywhere
in this ship, and that conveniences
designed for her are those which
only a woman could appreciate and
understand It's far cry from the
day when a proper young lady was
concerned only with her crocheting
and her well-worn copy Of "Godey's
Lady Book" Today the girls are
going places-and really doing
things!

the starboard, the other the port"
That it was a tremendously Scien-
tifc piece of work there seems to be
no doubt. For example, a model
stateroom was constructed in the
shipyard and completely equipped
with lights, fixtures and all the
other essentials. Then the decora-
tions and comforts were planned
and ideally suited to women, who
make up such large part of cruise
passengers. For example, the rods
in the closets will hold the longest
evening gowns successfully, for the
decorators actually measured the
longest evening gown they could
find and then added few inches
to be on the safe side. In the dresser
drawers are special racks to hold
cosmetics and keep them from slid
ing about, and there are dozens OF
the other convenienceS near and
dear to the hearts of women. Every
piece of furniture was specially de-
signed by the decorators; none was
bought already made, and about rs
per cent of the fabrics used in the
staterooms were also individually
designed by the organization or by
those with whom they work. Lamp
shades, special carpets and even
hand-hooked window draperies were
created for the sole purpose of max
ing the America the luxurious and
perfect ship that she is.
A visit to this magnificent liner
Is a revelation and a lesson in good
taste and comfort. In addition to
the staterooms, each of which is
air-conditioned and equipped with
shower, there are magnificent salons
and lounges, two beauty shops,
gymnasium where milady may keep
her figure in trim on the bars or
electrical horses. Dressing rooms
adjoin the swimming pool so that
she may leave her wet swim suit
to be carefully dried and ready for
the next dip. A complete shop is
available and here she may purchase
anything from an evening gown to
a bathing suit. This shop, incident

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Being Noble Is Very Fine Thing,
But It's Better to Be Sensible

the girl whose selfish and preda-
tory family robs her not only Of the
money she earns by her hard
labor, but of her youth, her happi-
ness, her chances of love and mar
riage and home and children. Yet
it happens so often.
Sometimes it is an older sister
who is called upon to assume the
burden her parents are too weak
and selfish to bear, and who has to
slave to support brood of younger
sisters and brothers.
Sometimes. in your case. the
married children leave the entire
support of mother to the youngest
child, and because the girl makes
a home for mother they feel they
have right to flee to it in any time
of trouble.
But in every case the story is
the same and the end is the same
Everything the girl earns goes for
the food for parasitic mouths, doc
tors bills, clothes, schooling for
brothers and sisters and the hordes
of children that those who cannot
support them seem to always have.
The girl cannot think of mar
riage. She grows old working for
others And, at last, when she can
earn no more and when she has no
more money to give, she is kicked
about from house to house. an un-
wanted, unloved, unthanked old
woman who is regarded as bur-
den by every one
Whether the family martyr is a
fool or a saint is a matter of
opinion. Personally 1 think nine
times out of 10 she is a weakling
who lacks the backbone to stand
up and fight for her own rights,
and that in sacrificing herself she
does more harm than good.

But after we've made such sug-
gestions, we still feel helpless in the
face of parents who refuse to discuss
their sons and daughters problems
with them, or who are so suspicious
and narrow minded that they see
evil in every natural impulse toward
wanting a normal social life which
a healthy young person exhibits.
To any reader facing such prob
lem, We can only suggest that first
of all, you make very sure that your
your own lack Of responsibility, or
'wildness," or previous poor record
when allowed any freedom or
privileges. When any such faults of
yours have been corrected, then you
should do what you can to win over
your parents in the ways we have
already mentioned.
But if these steps fail-and they
sometimes do fail-you can only
make the best of a bad situation,
consoling yourself with the knowl
edge that the matter is not your
fault, but your parents. And you
must try to compensate. as soon as
your increasing age makes it pos
sible. for the mistakes they have
made in denying you a chance to
develop your personality and your
character through normal social
contacts with other young people.

Dear Miss Dix-I am 80 years
old. Went to work when graduated
from high school at Is and since
then have supported my mother
entirely, none of her married chill
dren ever contributing a cent. Now
my sister has decided to divorce her
husband and has come home with
her four children, in need of medi-
cation as well as food, clothing. and
so forth, and l shall have them to
take care of, as her husband never
provided for them. My brother has
also come back for me to support
until he gets another job. He earned
a good salary for many years, but
he and his wife spent much more
than he made. so not only did he
not save anything, but he was al
ways in debt and I have had to
help him out from time to time.
They all take it for granted that I
will support them. Guess they are
right, because if I had a crust of
bread I would share it with them,
but to do so I not only have to
deprive myself of every comfort
but of needed dental work and
clothes. And, worst, of all, because
of these burdens upon me, I am
cutting myself off from love and
marriage and ever having a home
of my own. What should do?
FRAN.
Answer-There is no use in telling
you what to do because, with your
character and disposition. you will
go on being the family goat to the
end Nobody can save you. You
are the foredoomed sacrifice to your
people.
