Difference Between

II did not want him to buy the
motorcycle. Now this has hap
pened"
Badly hurt?"
Hell be lucky if his leg is saved.
And we are being sued for damages.
1t wasn't really his fault, but he
shouldn't have been going so fast
and then he wouldn't have had a
blowout on the curve. But what can
you do with boys? He had earned
some of the money. some was his
birthday and Christmas gifts that
we had put in the bank for him,
and they let him have it on time"
Hes about Is, isn't hep"
eyes. But what could we do?
You know how boys are these days"
They are no different from what
they have been other days. They
want the things grown men have
and they will get them if they can
manage it. If they are boys of
proven responsibility they can be
given some privileges in this di-
rection, but if. as often happens,
they are spoiled children who think
that their wish is anothers obn-
cation, they should be strictly con-
trolled.
There are few boys who do not
dream of owning a motorcycle, or
an airplane, and beating the speed
record. That dream comes as natu-
rally to them as the down on their
cheeks. That does not say it is to
be made an actuality by the cowed
parents of noisy boy.
There is difference in my mind
between the exercise of a parental
duty and interference with a child's
way of life. The two are distinct
and equally valuable ideas in child
rearing. Authority is to be used
sparingly but it is held in reserve
for use in the rare times it is needed.
as when a boy of no experience and
no background of personal respon-
sibility wants to take savings out
Of the bank to buy a motor car, a
cycle. an airplane, boat or any other
toy of his dreams. When children
are irresponsible their parents must
step in and use their authority.
When authority is used to thwart
a child's perfectly healthy desire to
be person in his own right, that
is interference, and it is wrong
When parents brush aside a child S

not what you are doing to do. I've
always wanted a doctor in the family
and you're going to be it," they
abuse their authority and they in
terfere in a childs life. Nothing
good ever comes of that.
Experienced parents know the
difference between these two at
titudes without any chart. If they.
in Incidence and selfishness, choose
to ignore it they ought not to blame
the child for the catastrophe that
follows. They alone are to blame
for not doing their duty. Children
need their parents. Nature allows
parents to live only because they
are needed, removing them when
the need has passed. Usefulness is
rewarded by long life and happiness.
The happiness of parents is in
proportion to the happiness of their
children, the love their children have
for them. No spoiled child ever
thanked his people for spelling him,
but many a happy man and women
blessed their fathers and mothers
for the training and discipline they
gave them.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The wall paper in my stair hall
is badly soiled where my small
baby puts his hands on it. Can
you suggest any way I might cover
the soiled part without having the
whole hall done over. 1t has been
on only six months.
MRS. G. H. S.
Answer-You might use dado of
one of the washable coated wall
fabrics to extend above the small
ones reach. This may be put on
over the wall paper. 1t comes in
nice colors which might blend with
your wall paper and if narrow
moulding is placed where it joins
the paper it will look as though
you intended it that way. This
may be cleaned with soap and wa
ter and would solve your problem
for some years. Or you might use
one of the wall paper paints which
may be painted on right over the
wall paper. This is most inexpen-
sive and when soiled may have an
other coat painted on. If you work
out a nice color scheme your hall
will be decorative as well as utili-
tartan.

I have some good dark dresses
which I will not be wearing for the
next two months, and though they
are not winter dresses l would like
to store them so they would be pro-
tected from damp and mildew.
How could I DO this SO that they
would be wearable when / took
them out? REV.
Answer-There are garment bags
of heavy paper or transparent plio-
film that will keep the damp air
from your dresses. If you wish to
free your closet, why not get one of
the mothproof storage cupboards?
They hold about IL garments, hang
ing on hangers so that they come

looking article that you would not
mind having in the corner of your
room or it might be placed in a
storage closet. You will find it USE

that you wear only occasionally.
The fact that it is mothproof also
means that it is dust and damp

the presses turned them out by the
thousands all day yesterday.
There will be three copies of the
official list for each of the 6,253
boards listed at the latest tabula-
ton at headquarters. Some draft
areas were split just before the lot
terry to avoid unwieldy registration
lists and the final count may show
few additional boards. Governors
have authority to recommend as
many additional boards as may be
needed, if the work of the draft
grows too heavy for the volunteers
who are directing this vital task.
Final Count Awaited.
A complete official count of the
number of men who registered on
October Is still is awaited at head
quarters. Late registrations and the
mailing of cards from nonresident
registrants to their home boards has
delayed this tabulation. Estimates
run somewhere between 16,400,000
and 100000.
While the newspapers of the coun-
try gave wide circulation to the
numbers drawn in the lottery, boards
are required to follow the official
lists in determining the sequence of
questionnaires and examination Of
men for potential military training.
With comparatively few of the
selected men expected to be called
out by the War Department before
the first of the year, most of the
boards will not send out a large
number OF queStionnalreS at this
time. They were instructed to send
a sufficient number to assure enough
men to furnish the quotas which
the Governors will assign them from
the State allotments made public
recently.

tive plans to call the first 10000

shortly after noon said there had
been little air activity over Eng
land during the morning.
Early in the afternoon, however,
the air raid sirens screamed in the
London area and Nazi planes we're
reported over the Midlands and a
west coast town.
Two NaZi planes crossed the Kent
Coast and penetrated to the out
skirts of London during the after
noon. They stayed in the area I'M
til anti-aircraft fire apparently drove
them off. No bombs were reported
dropped.
British authorities, meanwhile,
permitted publication of the fact
that the center court at Wimbledon,
where American tennis stars have
played before the King and Queen,
had been damaged recently by Ger
man air raiders.
Other famous landmarks dam
aged in recent air attacks, which
British officials permitted to be
identified today, were London's Lei

theatrical district and short dis
lance from Piccadilly Circus; st.

18th Century Stationers' Hall and
the Dutch Church at Austin Friars.
Al Districts Bombed.
The saith successive night of Ger
man air raiding on London tapered
off into complete silence early today
and, although, AZ districts of Eng
land were bombed, the nights at
tacks were described as among the
lightest since the aerial bltzkrieg
began.
Anti aircraft guns roared up and
down "Hells Corner"-from the
southeast coast to the capital-in
one of the most intense barrages
yet thrown up and Kent villagers
reported that plane after plane
jettisoned bombs into the sea in the
face of the fire and raced back
across the channel.
The government said the nights
attacks were confined mainly to the
London area and Eastern and South
ern England, though some bombs
were also dropped on the Midlauds.
Damage as whole was slight
and casualties were few"
The Merseyside shipping area Of
Liverpool was reported hit hard,
while other attackers struck at East
Anglia and the southeast coast.

come this trend remains to be seen.
The President visited New Haven,
Hartford and other places in the
State yesterday. He had large
crowds but not so large as turned
out for him four years ago.
The Republicans have stronger
State ticket than have the Demo-
Gratis, which should be a help to
Mr.. Willkie. Gov. Baldwin has
given the State an excellent admin
istration. Connecticut is out of the
red and has a surplus of a million
and a half dollars in its treas

to which he was appointed in 1887
by Gov. Cross. At the Democratic

to nominate the veteran again for
Governor. Mr.. Cross has been in

State and U. S. Tickets Linked.
Senator Francis Maloney, Demo-
crat, is seeking reelection and has
as his opponent Paul Lincoln Cor
nell, Republican. The fate of the
whole Democratic State ticket. in
Guiding Senator Maloney. is closely
tied in with the national ticket.
President Roosevelt is expected to
run we'll ahead of the State ticket,
and impartial observers, even some
of the Democratic leaders, figure
that unless the President leads Mr..
Willkie by 10000 votes or more the
Democratic State ticket will have a
tough time getting through. 1t may
be that Senator Maloney will run
ahead of the Democratic guberna-
torial candidate, for he has some
Republican support. That in turn
may be offset by some New Deal
OBJECTIONS, for the Connecticut Sem
ator has been off the reservation in
Washington on number of occa-
sions.
While the Democrats claim that
labor in this State is still as strong
for Mr.. Roosevelt as it was in 1886,
the Republicans say they are max
ing some inroads. They feel, too,
that the support given Mr.. Willkie
by John L. Lewis. president of the
C. I. o., will win them votes. They
point out that on Sunday, after
Mr.. Lewis had spoken. the C. I. o..
State Convention meeting here did
not indorse President Roosevelt and
did not attack Mr. Lewis. The con-
vention shelved all political resolu-
tons and let it go at that.

State are supporting the Repub-
lican State ticket. Gov. Baldwin has

bers were placed in capsules, shaken
UP in hat and drawn by news
papermen who had kept an au-night
vigil at the lottery.
DR.. DykStra held that this expedi-
ent served the purpose of the lottery,
since 1t was scheme of choosing
numbers by chance. 1t was entirely
chance that dictated which of the
numbers were missing, he pointed
out-they might have been any Of
the 5000 to be drawn-and it was
uncomfortable" that there could
have been design back of the mis-
hap.
Lost Numbers Still a Puzzle.
The director was inclined to think
the missing numbers were lost, some
how, during the drawing Some of
the many officials, veterans and
others who pulled capsules during
the long grind might have acct
dentally lost these six, he explained.
He said the capsules were packed
and checked so carefully that he
did not see how the bowl could
have failed to contain all the num-
bers when it was set up on the
stage.
1t was surprising, he added, that
In such large lottery so few num-
bers were lost.
IT don't see that any one was hurt
or that the lottery was not entirely
fair and impartial" he said.
A Detroit newspaper informed Dr.
Dykstra by telephone that a holder
of the first number drawn, 1853,
planned to contest the lottery in
court. Some court actions were to
be anticipated, he remarked, recall
Ing that during the World War drafts
several suits were filed, challenging
the validity of the lottery method of
selecting men, and none was sue
ceSSful.

vote, taken en- masse, is Republican,
although some of these Yankees will
support Mr.. Roosevelt because of his
foreign policies.
Two years ago the Republicans re-
captured control of the State gov
ernment-much to the surprise Of
the Democrats. Gov. Raymond E.
Baldwin was elected over former
Gov Wilbur l.. Cross, veteran
Democrat and member of the Yale
faculty. Senator Danaher, Repub-
lican, defeated former Senator
Lonergan. The Republicans also
captured four out of the six con-
gressional districts.
The Republicans were aided ma
terially by the large vote cast in 1888
for Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy
of Bridgeport, candidate for Gov
ernor, and for other candidates of
the Socialist party. Mr.. McLevy
polled l66 900 votes, and drew ma
jority of them from Democratic
ranks, although Republicans also
punched their ballots for Mr.. McLevy
in considerable numbers. There had
been State scandals involving the
expenditure of money, in which both
Republican and Democratic officials
were involved. A cry for clean gov
eminent went up and thousands of
voters who had never voted the
Socialist ticket before turned to
Mayor McLevy.
Gov. Baldwin, in that year. actual
ly ran few hundred votes behind
former Gov. Cross But the
Union party had Endorsed the Re-
publican candidates, and their trend
votes were counted for Gov. Baldwin
and gave him a 2,500-vote margin
of victory. Senator Danaher had
10000 vote lead over former Senator
Lonergan, while his Socialist party
opponent ran up a vote a little less
than 100000.
McLevy Again in Race.
This year Mr.. McLevy is again a
candidate for Governor, but the
largest figures quoted for him are
about $4,000 votes. Mr.. McLevy is
keeping hands off in the presidential
race. He prevented the Socialist
State Convention from indorsing
President Roosevelt for a third
term. The McLevy Socialists are
not of the Norman Thomas faction,
and therefore did not place Thomas
electors on their ticket. The con-
sequence is that there are no presi-
Dental electors for any candidate
on the Socialist ticket here, and the
Socialists are entirely free to vote
for any presidential candidate they
see fit. 1t is expected that majority
of them will turn in for Mr.. Roose-
welt.
The trend in Connecticut since
1887 has been Republican, as it
has in many other States. Whether
President Roosevelt's appeal to the

College Engineering
Advisers Here for
Defense Farley
U. of Nd. Dean Named
To Coordinate Work
In This Area

Regional advisers in charge of en-
cheering defense training in the
universities and colleges throughout
the Nation today began two-day
conference at the Interior Depart
ment with representatives Of the
Army, Navy and other defense
agencies to discuss details of the
program.
At the same time it was learned
that Dean S. S. Steinberg of the
University of Maryland's college of
engineering has been named to the
post of regional director for the
area embracing Maryland and the
District of Columbia.
Already i'm Progress.
The training program, already in
progress throughout the country in
trade and technical schools of high
school grade, is being sponsored by
the Government. Many w. P. A.
workers have been sent to the school
for refresher training and schooling
in trades necessary for defense in
dustries.
The original project contemplated
also refresher training for numerous
graduateSof engineering colleges who
had been unable to find jobs in their
profession and had accepted other
jobs. Many of these men are needed
for defense work.
To Coordinate Programs.
The college training program has
two main objects: First, in-Service
training courses for engineers who
are already employed but are in
need of further after-hour instruc-
ton, and, second, a pre-employ-
ment course for those going into
defense industries.
Dean Steinberg will try to CO.
ordinate engineering defense train
ing programs in the District and
Maryland engineering colleges.
Universities offering engineering
training in the District are George
Washington, Catholic and Howard.
The University of Maryland and
Johns Hopkins University are the
two Maryland schools affected.
