Child MUST
Learn to
Be Alone
He Will Gradually
Overcome Fear of
Being Deserted
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children soon learn to impose
their will upon their elders. They
know that loud wall brings imme-
diate help, and use that knowledge
to their own selfish ends. Three
year -olds can be tyrants, making
life miserable for their conscien-
tious mothers
One little girl of won't let her
mother go out of her sight. When
left alone for a moment she lifts
her voice In such sorrowful wall
that people come from all directions
to lend her comfort. Grandfather
comes running and, when mother
appears, reproaches her for max
ing her poor child suffer so. Grand
mother mods approval and when
the din subsidies says, so little Miss
Caesar can hear, "It's a shame to
let her cry So
At times mother has to leave the
house without taking the child. She
makes elaborate plans for her es-
cape. Father and mother mus be
on guard to keep the child enter
tanned. Mother has to secrete her
hat, coat, bag and gloves on the
side porch and sneak out softly.
Once her absence is discovered
there is terrible scene. Now
things are so bad that even grand
father is making a protest. "You
ought to be able to train her bet
ter" says he. But let mother try
1t and see what happens.
But mother will have to try it
And she will have to make the
family, to a man, understand that
they are not to give comfort to the
oppressor when her mother is trying
to free herself from her grip. Begin
by leaving the child alone, where
she can see and be seen, but alone
with soeething to play with for II
minutes. Mother keeps out of sight
At the end of 10 minutes she re.
turns, without explanation, anc
ignores any demonstration on the
child's part. Gradually she lengthen.
this period of loneness until ths
child can be left for half an Lou
at time without too much protest
Now it is time to let her see hel
mother dressed for the street ane
on her way out. The child is lef
in the usual place with something
to do and her mother leaves, stay.
ing away only 10 minutes. Gradu.
ally this time is heightened unit
mother can be out as long as i.
necessary, leaving the child with
her grandparents, without a scene
The SAME program is to be fol
lowed to train her to know tina

times 60 out at night and leav'
her in bed at home. When chilt
learns by experience that >mothe

that nothing happens in the mean
time. 1t adjusts itself to the ex

Then give the crowd pencils and
paper, and ask them to identify
famous individual dogs as you read
off their names. Include in your
list such renowned CANNES as Asia

cartoons, and Sandy, Bo, Bulls

dozen breeds of dogs. with the let

them down. Then allow a specified
time to straighten out the lette. :.
1t won't be easy to make Newfound-
land out Of Dalunenwfond or Irish
Setter out of Risethierst.
After this, 60 on to other games,
doggy or otherwise, and end up the
evening by dancing.
Another good idea for late August
is a County Fair party. Let the
fellows wear overalls and big straw
hats, while the girls come in sun
bonnets and gingham dresses. Each
guest must bring the biggest speci-
men of any fruit or vegetable which
he can find. These are placed on
exhibition, and contests staged to
guess their size and weight.
Then comes food exhibit. Num-
bered articles are placed on coun-
ter, and the guests receive lists
with corresponding numbers They
must figure out which foods the
articles represent. Here are few
examples, and you can think OF
more-the gaggier the better.

3. Picture of a kitten drinking,

No country fair is complete with
out its horse races. Line up six
starters at a time on track made
by marking lines a foot apart on
porch, lawn or sidewalk Hang
large number Il to g. on each
horses back.
The hostess then throws two dice,
one black and one white. The black
dice tells which horse moves and
the white shows how many spaces.
The first horse across the finish
line wins-and 1t gets pretty ex-
citing toward the end. If you
have a large enough crowd you can
run two or even three heats with
a final run-off for the grand prize,
These are only two of many
stunt" parties which will make
any August evening an event to be
remembered. You might also have
a tin can party as a spur r-of-the-
moment affair with each boy bring
ing can of food, while the girls
supply sandwiches and other
"musts." Or stage a come as you

Cold Meat Ideal
For Hot Season

AS assorted as a Smorgasbord
and in many ways just as interest
ing, is a platter of cold cuts of
meat attractively arranged to entice
hot-weather appetites.
There's salami of many kinds,
veal loaf, minced ham. liver sausage,
corned beef, spiced tongue and many
other specialties. Leftover roast
thinly sliced and very cold can also
find it's place on a colorful platter
arranged for buffet entertainment,
the family supper or for the un-
predicted times when guests "just
drop in"
| Potato salad fits into the picture
In fact, there's a special place for
fright in the center of ring
bologna in the middle of platter
/ The most attractive cold meat
platter will have meats with variety
in color, flavor and shape. A con-
trast of dark and light colors makes
the arrangement interesting.
The assortment of cold meats
offers decided variety in flavor
Some meats are smoked, others
are not. The seasoning of colo
meats is important and since. it is
done on a scientific basis. each meat
contains the distinct spices and
seasonfhgs peculiar to it alone.
Many meats, particularly the dry
sansages. hive the favorite formula
of the foreign lands which made
them famous.
Variety in shape is obvious as
you see rows of cold meats on
counter-square, round, .oblong
rectangular.
Slices cut diagonally give a
larger serving and a different shape.
Large slices may be rolled into
cornucopias and filled with carrot
slivers, cheese wedges, sweet pickles,
olives or cream cheese.
Large slices may also be cut into
strips, triangles or other geometric
shapes for variety.
Served with a cold meat platter
you'll want an assortment of bread

One thing which has long been
an annoyance to women is the diff
f1culty of looking presentable while
swimming. Spoiled by makeup and
other beauty aids, they rebel at hav-
ing to be plain James" in order to
enjoy swimming and summing. So
the creator of famous beauty aids
has decided to do something about
1.-THE something" Being rev cos
mesics that are sun and water proof.
Created especially for the Aqua
cade performers at the Worlds Fair,
this idea was quickly adopted by
smart women everywhere. TNe
products consist of water resistant
foundation or lotiors a fine. tex

your current ski tone and which
may be dunked" in water with no i'll
effect whatsoever, a vivid, creamy
hpstick which does not smear, and
mascara that clings to your lashes
until it is Semoved with oil! In ad-
dition, there is hair pomade which
keeps the hair glossy and shining
in spite of salt water and sun.
Women everywhere are applaud
ing this asw discovery and the most
absolute tests have been made to
determine its practicability. Nice
to know that you will still be fresh
and pretty no matter how much of
a confirmed mermaid you may be,
and wonderful to feel that you will

improves either oilv or dry scalps,
makes the hair soft and silky and
is routine that is particularly
valuable in the summer when sun
and salt water tend to make your
flowing tresses a thing to be viewed
with no little despair. Briefly. the
way it works is this: The hair is
brushed and a salve massaged into
the scalp. Following this. a vibrator
is used and the hair is then sham
pooed with special lather oil that
is far superior, in this instance, to
the ordinary shampoo. The operator
then decides whether your hair is
oily or dry in type and uses tonic
accordingly. They tell us that par
ticularly good results on excessively
oily hair have been obtained by this
method-even on hair that has a
dark streak down the back day or
two after it is washed.
The products used in these treat
ments are of the finest and the
entire routine affords you about an
hour of soothing relaxation that
pays off in glowing, lovely hair. So
many women have tried the process
and found it satisfactory that they
refuse to give up their treatments
while they are away on vacation
Therefore, it's also possible to buy
the products and take them away
with you, giving yourself thorough
treatment even though you can't
get to the beauty salon. We have
heard. nothing but enthusiastic
praise for the idea, and we've seen
some of the results which are moth
ing short of amazing.
OF course, our description of the
process is a sketchy one, for there
are many steps not mentioned here
Surprisingly inexpensive, it's one. Of
those discoveries that we are always
hoping to find.

of the results of German air raids

United States Government have ev-
cry shred of information regarding
the war, he sends this cabled sum-
mary to the White House.
This is probably the most anthem
tic report of what is now going on
in Great Britain. 1t gives names of
places bombed, together with cas-
ualties. Recently, of course, bonn
bardments have been so heavy and
so scattered that it has been diff
cult to make the report complete,
but from these and other intel
ligence reports received in WASH
ington here are few Indications as
to how the Battle of Britain is
going.
Cd Before the intensification of
Hitler's air raids, Nazi airmen con-
centrated on industrial plans, ship
ping and railroads. AS reported in
this column, they had done consid-
erably more damage than got by the
censors, though not enough serious
ly to threaten Britain.
co Now the raids are staged at
night instead of in the daytime, as
previously, and pilots can now only
roughly guess the location of the
targets. This indiscriminate, almost
random bombarment undoubtedly is
calculated to shake the morale of
the English people in preparation
for actual invasion; though a sec
ondary factor is Hitler's pique at
Britain's raids over Berlin.
go Damage to property since the
intensification of air raids has been
tremendous, but it has been scatter
ed among civilian areas and actual
damage to military detectives has
not been much greater proportion
ately than before.
"a Most serious damage has
been the gradual weakening Of Bri-
tains air defenses, including the
Royal Air Force. The British scarce
ly have time to get their defenses in
shape again before the next raid is
upon them. Furthermore, little by
little the proportion of German
planes shot down as compared with
the number of planes attacking Lon
don has been decreasing. In other
words, the Nazis can afford to lose
far more planes than the British,
