Finding the early cases helps not only
the individuals involved, but it helps
the business life Of the community. as

people who are infected, and the X-ray
picture measures the damage done by
the germs. Thus treatment can be

Question of Offsets
H. R. PITS was under discussion when

referred again to the question of the
staleness of the claims of the Arapa-
hoe and Cheyenne Indians.
This goes back to 1861, which is
almost 100 years" he said

ments are suggested. Interest. however
attaches to one paragraph.
Interest On ShOshone Claim

The amount in the adjudication of
claims involving lands or any interest
therein would not be limited to the
value thereof on the dates the claims
accrued. In the recent cases Of United
States VS.. Creek nation 1895 U. s., 1887.
and Shoshone VS.. United States 1893
U. s.. 476). the tribes were awarded,
on claims involving lands taken from
them. not only the value of the lands,
but interest thereon at the rate of 6
percent per annum from the dates of
taking to the dates Of payment. which
amounted to more than 200 percent
interest in the one instance and 300
percent in the other In determining
the value of the lands at the time of
taking. the court, in the second deci-
sion in the Shoshone case 1904 U. S..
I'D. included the value of timber and
mineral resources. (See also United
States VS.. klamath Indians, 3O4 u S.
1l9.
These decisions increase the amount
Of the claims in land taking cases now
pending in the courts to more than
S30OO,000. If the jurisdiction proposed
by the bill should be granted. the In
dams would no doubt assert claim
for a taking of more than $4,000 900
acres Of land. some of which is in
cluded in the famous Black Hills area.
II they should claim valuation Of 81
per acre, the claim in principal amount
would be S18,O00,000. If they asserted
an interest claim. as was done in the
Shoshone case, the claim in interest
alone would be more than $50 900 900.
Whether the plaintiffs are to be per-
mitted to recover interest to this ex-
tent is a question of policy to be de-
termined by congress If it is felt that
the amount recoverable should be
limited to the value of the lands on
the dates the claims accrued. 1t is sug-
gested that to section l of the bill
there be added the following proviso:
Provided, That in any claim for

judgment Of the committee" Mr.. Good
win remarked. My only position on
that for these particular Indians is
this, that all these jurisdictional bills
are now pending before the court of
claims and they would permit the court
of claims TO include interest as a Just
basis of compensation as found by the

such cases. 1t would limit this tribe
and put it on a different basis from

Teach Good
To Child
Naughtiness Must
Not Be Allowed
To Continue
By ANGELO PATRI.

This list Of questions has been
sent to me by a troubled parent
and, as the questions are common
ones, an answering them here in
the hope that the answers may be
helpful to this parent and others
who are asking the same questions
Of themselves daily.
/. Should a 4-year-old child be
ignored when he Is naughty, and
not be corrected? Will he stop
being naughty overnight and learn
to be good without being taught:
or should you correct him and teach
him to behave?
All children have to be corrected,
gently and firmly and consistently,
so that good behavior may become
a habit early in their lives. They
will not change into well-behaved
children if they are allowed to
grow into bad habits for any length
Of time. To allow children to 60
unframed is to do them a grave in
jury.
2. Is 1t right to let q child play
while he Is eating-or should he
sit at table until he has finished
eating?
A child should be trained to be-
have properly at table, at least
as well as he is able" which means
that he is to eat correctly, behave
politely, remain to the end of the
meal, or until he is excused at the
end of his meal. Very young chill
dren should have their meals apart
from the family because eating
full meal with grown people is too
much of strain for a child of
2 years or so. Only when a child
has the strength, endurance and
ability to eat at the adults table
is he to sit with them. Then he
must behave correctly and under no
condition mix play or other business
with his eating.
3. Don't you think it Is just as
bad for a parent to tell 6 child he
can't go somewhere and then let
him, as to tell him he can 90 and
then not take him?
No, 1 think that promising him
he can go and then not taking him
Is the worse OF two bad situations.
A promise is sacred. Once broken.
to the child it cannot be repaired
and his faith Is shaken. When he
Is told he cannot go and then later
told that he can, he may think that
this parent is easy, one can wiggle
around his mo" and make it into
yes" but there is that doubt that
maybe he can't work 1t always.
This is not the best relationship
that can be established, but it is
not the worst. The broken promise
Is the worst one.
4. Just what should a 4-year-old
child be taught?
To do what he is able to do: to
love his parents and to serve them
gladly; to do what 1t is right, ac-
cording to his understanding.

Soap Washing
Beneficial
To Skin
Helps Complexion
OF Both Young
And Aging
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Some girls and women harbor
the impression that soap and water
washings of the face should be dis
continued once the cold weather sets
in. This is, of course, silly. Your
skin requires soap and water cleans
ings the year round and the ther-
mometer has little to do with it
but when you wash your face and
how you wash it has great deal to
do with preserving healthy, glow
ing, young looking complexion.
One should not wash ones face
with warm or hot water and soap
and go out Immediately afterward
in zero weather. The warm water
opens the pores and the quick
change of temperature from indoors
to outdoors will, of course, chap the
skin. But If you give your skin a
good dousing with chilled water,
after the soap washing; the pores
will be normally closed and light
protective film of cream will pre-
vent your face from chapping.
II you live where 1t is very cold
you should wash your face well at
night instead Of morning - even
scrub it with q complexion brush
and suds. Rinse 1t well with dous-
ings of warm and cold water alter
nately, and then allow it to be free
of any cream for the night. In the
morning rinsing to make you feel
fresh Is sufficient, to be followed by
a lubricating or protective cream
or face oil.
Make certain that your soap is
bland and pure. Poor soap can
cause more complexion disasters
than almost anything.
1t is good to remember that you
do not have to be too gentle in your
skin care. In fact, 1t is excellent to
exercise the pores by deep finger
massage on clean skin, scrubbings
with especially designed complexion
brushes and hot and cold water
splashings. Your face pores need
exercising and If you do not 60
through q body exercise program
every day, you must resort to local
massage to tone up facial muscles.
If you are convinced that your
skin cannot stand brushings with
soap there Is q new cream which
fathers like soap when rubbed into
your skin. 1t is free from alkali
and non-irritating, and we are told
by the firm which presents 1t, it
may be used with either hard or soft
water. No soap is required. simply
a rinsing after a massage with the
cream. 1t, too, does a nice job Of
deep pore cleansing.

may be successfully cleaned WIFI
ordinary dirt solvents, especially
where grease spots occur. Use a
soft brush or sponge dipped in car
bon tetrachloride; follow the direc-
ton of the nap or pile and use
straight strokes. The Spotty AFTER
effect so often seen is the result OF
a rotary motion in cleaning. A span
clean" chamois is ideal for wiping,
after the fabric seems to be clean.
After the fabric is dry there may be
areas which do not seem to be clean.
To finish up, 60 over the whole sur
face once more with clean fluid and
wipe dry again. Badly solled spots
may be rubbed with chloroform
which is allowed to soak in well.
Then place q clean white blotter
over the spot and pass a heated
iron over the paper to absorb any
grease. Be sure to throw the blotter
away, for its use again will deposit
the spot on a clean fabric.
THE SHAMPOO METHOD.
First prepare your shampoo by
dissolving a half cake of neutral
white soap or cup of soap fakes
in a quart of hot water. Let this
cool and when it is luke-warm mix
with a small amount of cold water
and whisk until a light suds Is
worked up. Apply the soapy suds
only to the fabric. Clean strip
across the fabric and then another
strip slightly overlapping the first.
Use as little water as possible. When
the surface has been completely
covered with the suds, wipe or take
up the suds with the vacuum
cleaner. Then wipe over the surface
with fresh warm water and clean
soft cloths. To brighten faded or
dull colors wipe over with sponge
wrung nearly dry of weak salt
or ammonia solution. The shampoo
method also may take two apphca-
tions for best results, so don't get
discouraged If the first effort is not
satisfactory. Also, do not use the
furniture until it is thoroughly dry.
Always follow the direction of
the nap when cleaning long pile
fabrics. Plush covering may be

Peggy Macarthur happens to be this
second, or demure, type, and the
gowns she is seen in when she
attends concerts show how faith
fully she follows the musical mark
ings of her type. There is, for ex-
ample, a rather formal outfit Of
hers. With it, she wears a white

simple pearl jewelry. Her gown is
of powder blue chiffon, flowing out

floral decoration at the lower right
hand side of the skirt, in old rose.
Her short jacket is of softs blue fox

Less formal, but equally effective,
is the beige crepe dinner gown she
occasionally wears when concert
going. Two delicate, finely wrought
marquisite clips with tiny ruby
stones at each side of the bodice
break up the tailored severity Of
the dress. Further little touches
of femininity are the horizontal

Manners
of the
Moment

I don't In the least mind 1t when
one person carries on a conversation
In bus in a loud tone of voice.
In fact, I usually rather enjoy it.
The only thing I ask is that I be
allowed to listen in peace. I don't
like to be glared at for listening,
when I can't help myself. OF course,
I suppose I could pretend that I'm
deaf. But I don't see why all the
manners should come from my cor
ner Of the bus.
II q lady doesn't want the rest Of
the bus passengers to know all about
her discussion with her husband
over the fur coat, then it seems to
me that it is her responsibility to
keep the secret to herself.
But if she is going to tell the story
at the top of her lungs to her COM
panion, she might as well accept the
fact that all the rest of us are en-
joying it, too.
It's just matter of facing the
facts. Once she has faced the fact
that she has an audience, it may in
spire her to make her story more
interesting.
Every bus load of people loves to
have an entertainer. JEAN.

Don't know how you feel about

we'd rather find in our darned

Take, for instance, the models which
have American flags waving on the

this defense business going on, they
make good-looking and timely gifts.

one on the end of a pencil. It's
so easy to carry and useful that

"a fine supplement In winter or
when you cannot afford plenty of
whole milk, butter, eggs and green
colored vegetables)
After the need for these protective
foods is taken care of, Miss Birdseye
suggests that the boys and girls eat
additional bread and cereals as well
as some sweets and fats. These
foods give them the energy materials
needed for work and play.
Begin the day with a good break
fast including fruit, milk, cereal, and
an egg if possible. Even the first
meal of the day must have its quota
of the protective foods. Sweets be-
long only at the end Of meal. If
you are really hungry between meals
drink milk, eat fruit, or plain bread
and butter" Miss Birdseye advises.
This daily food guide is con-
veniently elastic to fit different
cases. There's a range in the num-
ber Of servings suggested because
different families have different
amounts of money to spend for food.
The smaller number of servings of
milk, fruits and vegetables is the
least you can afford to use and still
insure good health and growth. The
larger number Of servings Is q much
better standard If you can manage
to get them.
Boys and girls who use this list
of protective foods as a guide, often
find that their diets have not been
measuring up to good standard.
In many cases they solve the problem
by planning for better garden and
canning program from which the
entire family benefits. y
This diet guide was planned for
club work on health. Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls and
other clubs besides the All have
found it helpful. But it is just as
useful for young people who do not
belong to such groups, for the
problem Of q good diet during the
growing years Is the problem Of
every boy and girl.
