 On the contrary, government agencies are hoping that this slice of British economic life will shrink even more. Because in war time your machine achieves greater efficiency when the cogs are few. And having to supply thousands of small shopkeepers with the goods that will keep them alive is waste motion which impedeS the national war effort.

than 200 communal feeding cen- ters, and this week twenty-six new plans which involve the eS- tablishment of 100 new centers for feeding families were approv- ed by the Ministry of Food. That is fine as war measure, though rather hard on family life.
 But not half so hard as having a business slip out from under you. The governmnt will prob- ably give some additional dole help to these small businesses, yet there is no doubt that the move is now toward monopoly dis tribution.
 One plan now before the Food Ministry calls for five firms to manufacture sausaeeS instead of the 60,000 small butchers now do- ing the job. And there are other food distribution schemes like it., all under consideration.
 Whichever one is adopted, it means finish for the thousands of Mother Carys and their little shop around the corner"

NEA Service Staff Correspondent : London, Feb. 2s-There's little tobacco shop around the corner. It's run by Mother Cary and it used to do a thriving business.
 Then rationing placed a curb on the amount of tobacco sold. That wasn't 50 bad ct first be- cause Mother Cary could still get by. She could still take in just enough to pay the gas and light and other little bills and still keep her head above water.
 But then bombs demolished part of the street and forced the permanent evacuation of many of her steady customers. And then on top of that, rationing became even more severe.
 For days the shelves in her little tobacco shop, which repre- sented the few hundred pounds re- ceived when her husband died, were empty. Finally, she placed the shutters over her shop win- dows and went out of business. NEW V1O1lMS
 OF THE WAR
 But that is what's happening all over England today. In every city which has felt the full blast of German bombs, the little shop around the corner" is being gradual ly driven out of business. Run by people just like Mother Cary, sad eyed widows, Spinster sisters, aged couples, they all got along fine un- til now.
 Some owned little confectionery stores, some ran small food shops, others did a fine business catering in mats and delicatesSen pro- ducts. Now. one by one, they are going out of business as the new economic victims of this war.

ton to make various tests and trials
on his own account.
The mother of the pregrade child
can gain a good deal of benefit from
these findings.
First, children need a very large
measure of non-interference in their
play, from the very beginning. Ma
turally they will make mistakes. Don't
scold and don't pity them. Many at
tempts may, at the beginning, be nee
essary before even three blocks can
be placed securely one on the other
Second, nursery school and kinder
garten methods are far better than
those usually used in the ordinary
grade classes If attendance is a pos
sibility, no child should miss the OPP
portunity to begin school in the at
mosphere of cooperation and freedom
that these classes provide.
Third, If when the child is at the
right age, a nursery school or kinder
garten is not available, the parent
should see that as many as possible
Of the conditions that would be en-
joyed there shall be provided at home
Very important is the companionship
Of other children of his own age Each
child should have choice of occupa-
ton and be free to proceed with his
choice without interference as long as
he allows the same privilege to other
people. This does not rule out &C.
casional constructive suggestions when
a problem appears discouragingly diff
ficult. But even then too much help
or supervision should not be given or
the child will be robbed of his feeling
of triumph or victory over an obstacle
Children can be weakened-made de-
pendent and gullible-by being given
too much assistance. 1t is better to
encourage them by praising them for
what they have shown themselves able
to do, unaided, or almost unaided And
one of the most valuable outcomes of
every finished project, if encouraged,
will be the child's own judgment of
its measure of success. This will be
another opportunity for the parent to
learn to be a good listener.

I'm allergic to liquor and seldom drink

Excluding himself, Lentz reported he
studied reactions of 78O persons to
5000 items Of opinion, attitude, inter-
est, preference and practice compiled
by the institute under the auspices OF
the United States office of education.
Summarizing detailed results, Lentz
found that drinkers, in contrast to tee
totalers, are
More inclined to smoke and drink
coffee.
Apparently more liberal-except that
they believe woman's place is in the

Less optimistic and less happy.
More maladjusted socially and emo

More international, except with re-
gard to race prejudice.
More materialistic.
More selfish
More impulSive and affectionate ac-
cording to their own admission.
More interested in the opposite sex.
More adyentureSome
Less interested in churches.
Studying the activity preference OF
drinkers and nondrinkers, he found
that imbibers like poker, dramatics,

like to attend graduations, use type

and hunt wild flowers.
