that a certain farmer had inherited
about a zillion dollars and was
building a new house which he
wished to have made all electric.
Roy slipped out to see him SO none

had a prospect that made him

Roy and the farmer got down to

to the country to see the farmer.
In great excitement they walked to

They knocked again, this time loud

A woman came out of a house

Long ago in Athens, when Alex
ander, the warrior, by chance met
Diogenes, the philosopher, the fol-
lowing conversation took place
Alexander asked, How can I serve
your" Diogenes replied. Stand out
of my light"
We, as individuals, too often stand
in each others light. We dump our
petty troubles on the shoulders of
those we love. We give discourage
ment and advise caution when some
times encouragement would be
kinder. In the name of friendship
we tell persons bad news instead of
good news. We poison their happy
moods with our melancholia and we
bring pessimism instead of opti-
mism to the surface of conscious
ness. We are constantly shadowing
the hopes and ambitions of others.
If we are determined to allow pes
simism, fear, jealousy, envy, and
sensitiveness to cloud our own ex-
istence, at least we have no right to
let these personal viewpoints lessen
the light in the lives of others.
1t seems to me that we are most
at fault in our relations with those
we love, our family and our friends
In the name of friendship, conf
dence and frank advice, we insert
fear and doubt into the glowing
dreams of others.
Particularly in these times, when
cowardly defeatism and pessimism
are likely to run riot, the people who
add to our light rather than detract
from it are the best friends we have

Feed Baby on
|FOur>HOur
Schedule
Average, Healthy
Child Thrives on
This Routine
By Leffice Lee Street,

| DV LHfIfCG lee OVpeH
In olden days, many, many years
ago, an infant was led whenever he
cried or his mother wished to feed
him, and not according to any reg
ular rule. The result was that collie
and digestive disorders among babies
were much more prevalent then
than now.
Proper feeding and cleanliness of
the milk, bottles and nipples is the
first vital rule of feeding and reg
ularity is the second.
Almost all pediatricians advocate
the four-hour schedule for infants
after the second or third day of life.
Sometimes feeble, tiny infants are
fed oftener than this. But the four
hour routine is much the best for
the average, healthy baby with a
good appetite.
1t takes about three hours for a
baby's food to digest. and the extra
hour is used as needed rest time
for his little stomach. If a baby's
stomach is continually kept full with
frequent, irregular feelings. the first
feeding is not digested properly by
the time the next is given. Cramps.
collie, gas and vomiting are apt to
result.
The correct four-hour schedule is
as follows: q m 10 am, pm,
s pm, 10 pm. and am.
Some doctors dispute the advis-
ability of the a m. feeding. and in
some hospitals the new babies are
given boiled, tepid water instead Of
milk at this hour. But most doc
tors think that an infant should
have this 2 am. feeding until he is
s or 8 weeks old. This regular four
hour schedule is benefit to the
mother, too. She is not so tied
down by this routine as she would
be if she had to feed her baby
oftener. She has more time for her
housework and for relaxation.
Whether your baby is breast or
bottle fed, hold him over your Shout
der for a few moments after each
feeding and gently pat his back to
help him get up any air that he may
have swallowed. Little babies al
ways take in a certain amount of
air when they eat There is no need
to be alarmed if a small amount of
milk comes up at the same time;
this oftenS happens with even the
healthieSt infants.
II you want your baby to grow
and gain steadily you will have TO
follow your doctors advice about the
proper kinds and amounts of foods.
Take your baby to see him once
month and faithfully abide by reg
ular feeding hours.
This means considerable sacrifice
on your part. If this is your first
baby you will discover that you must
change your daily life to fit the de-
mands of the beloved new member
of the family

A few parents allow their children
to turn their own homes into gang
headquarters.
But in the absence of such desir-
able facilities, you can be pretty
sure that the crowd will find some
place to congregate. And since
neighborhood drug stores offer re-
freshments to consume, magazines
to thumb, and juke boxes to play,
they become the favorite teen-age
rendezvous.
We don't think parents should
worry about the situation unless a
fellow-or a girl, particularly
starts spending too much time In
such place. If a girl can be found
at the Cozy Soda Bar every after
noon or evening of the week, peo-
pie will inevitably get the idea that
ca she hasn't any home, OBJ she's
completely boy-craZy, or Co her
appetite for double chocolate malt
eds with egg and pl-lenty whipped
cream is nothing short of patho-
logical.
It's all right for Jane or Jack to
drop into such a place for a while,
but we certainly don't think that
hour after hour spent there is a
good idea. Boys don't get a very
f1attering impression of a high
school miss who hangs around a
drug store all the time, apparently
on an endless quest for masculine
attention and an occasional bid for
a date. It's a little bit cheap, and
a little bit shoddy.
But before parents completely
condemn the practice of going to
such places, we think they'd do well
to drop in at their offspring's favo-
rite drug store themselves, and size
1t up. We've sat. quiet like mouse
in the booths of such places in a
dozen different cities, and we've
never seen anything happen that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-05-29

could be called worse than slightly
silly.
However, the fact remains that
these places can be definitely bad
influence on young people. Drug
gists and drug store employees have
been known to sell marijuana Gig
arettes, liquor and other highly OBJ
jectionable commodities to the high
school trade. If you have that kind
of joint in your community, how
ever, it isn't enough for parents just
to keep their own sons and daugh-
tiers away from it, They should use
their influence as citizens to have it
cleaned up.
The doubtful parent should there
fore make a point of getting &C
quainted with the proprietor and the
employees of the store which his son
or daughter frequents. Tune in on
the conversation between the boy
behind the soda bar and the girls
who drink his connections. You can
soon tell if things aren't quite as
they should be.
Also, size up the magazines which
the store displays for the edification
of its youthful patrons. If you find
a lot of humor magazines featuring
questionable jokes and cartoons,
and picture sheets specializing in
undraped photos, that's no place for
Jane or Johnny. The magazines
themselves are bad enough; but even
more, the fact that the owner caters
to that type of demand shows that
he is an undesirable influence-or
acquaintance-for your son or
daughter.
AS for you fellows and girls, we
suggest that you apply these same
tests to your gang-gathering place.
You're not dumb-you know what
goes on there and whether or not it
is good place for you to be.
And don't forget this: Loafing may
be harmless, but it isn't exactly a
productive pastime. A little of it
never hurt anybody, but if 1t gets to
be a regular habit, you've got dis
NAL future.
