back of her hand into her mouth
and looked away. Take your hand
out Of ybur mouth" mother cor
rected. Then turning to her friend
she inquired with mock seriousness.
What would you do II you had .
little girl who was so bashful?"
The ACCOMPLISHMENT intended for
the tot was not lost on her. Even
m-e re self-conscious n W. she
swayed awkwardly from side to side,
with head lowered and the hand
still thrust into her mouth. Mother
removed the child'S hand several
times, but soon gave up trying be-
cause 1t always went right back to
her mouth again. The mother, evt-
IDENTITY, did not know that this &C
ton symbolized the child's utter
helplessness.
When q situation reaches q point
where q young child no longer can
cope with reality. IL Is natural for
him to revert to some type Of baby
response. The most common exam
pie Of this Is the tired youngster
who resorts to tears or liSping. It
provides an escape In which he
finds consolation. In Eleanor's case,
the hand in her mouth made her q
baby again. A baby cannot speak to
strangers. As q baby. no one could
make her speak no matter how
much they pushed and urged her
to.
A wise mother will not call atten-
ton to q child's shyness before
strangers. Rather she viii try to
ease him over embarrassing social
situations. Noticing his pcrplexity
when someone asks him. How are
you?" for example. she Will answer
for him. "Tne!" or Hes q good
boy" Then she win promptly turn
the guests attention from the child
with o new topic Of conversation.
Or she may send him along to play.
A child has q much better chance to
outgrow shyness when he isn't told
and doesn't hear himself talked
about as being shy. He needs 70 de-
velop self confidence hrst, 70 get
rid Of his fear and timidity. Q

Britain's Salter
Shops for Ships
In America
BY TALBOT LAKE

LIVERY day Britishers arrive in
America to carry on the fght
for Britain on a business 'front.'"
They are an interesting lot Of peo-
pie, who battle calmly to keep the
wheels of England turning. ,
A new and important visitor Is
Sir Arthur Salter. Parliamentary
Secretary to the Ministry Of Ship
ping. Britain needs ships desper-
ately, so Sir Arthur hopes to pick
up some cargo vessels and possibly
spur our shipbuilding program.
Square-headed. m n looking.
with rimless glasses. the 60-year-
old Oxford professor and economist
has been connected with shipping
for a quarter Of a century. He Is q
short. gray-haired man. as precise
in.his manner as he Is In his work.
He saw King George vi in q fare
we'll audience and was sworn In as q
member Of the Privy Council before
he left England.
He is said to get his. smart
lunches by taking a swim. floating
on his back and getting bright
thoughts. Back in 1896. under such
circumstances. the economist got
his idea of floating" the pound.
franc and dollar. He Is q scholar
ly clasSicist and for years headed
the financial and economic section
of the League Of Nations.
His love for the sea began with
the start Of his career in the British
Navy. He kept right on with his
classical studies and forsook the
service for them.
Sir Arthur has made many visits
to America and has lectured here,
and in Canada. His cannineSS was
revealed when, In 1881, he said Of
League of Nations conferences: "A
conference, however, is still q pro-
cedure and not q remedy"
Sir Arthur has worked so hard all
his life that he has never found
time for holidays. At so he had done
the work Of ten men and never
married because of It. He put over
the first national insurance scheme
of Britain: controlled the whole Of
the merchant shipping in the last
war: dominated the Preparations
commission; gave the Dawes COM
mittee its basic ideas: reconstruct
ed half a dozen war broken states:
organized the first world economic
conference; wrote q book on world
recovery which became a best seller.
and so on and on. His work today is
probably the most important in his
whole rich career.

To Buy lequme Seeds

Farmers who will have to purchase
summer leguNe seed to plant their
required acreage in 194l should do
SO as soon as possible, judging from
indications. Prices will possibly 60
much higher than they are now list
ed.
Common Lespedeza seed has al
ready gone too high and so has the
Kobe variety, but Korean Lespedeza
can still be purchased at a fairly
reasonable price.
In buying Korean Lespedeza seed,
watch out for dodder seed. Always
purchase dodder free seed if possible.
The price might be higher, but
you don't want dodder infected
