Overcare Is Harmful
Child Can Slump in Mind and Body
If Allowed to Drift Aimlessly

All children should be taught to
be useful from the day they are
first able to flap a washrag about
their ears until they are fit and
able to earn their living. 1t is SIN
full for mothers to do all the work in
the household. even to the errands,
while the children lounge about the
place, bored to death with them
selves and with life generally.
1t is sinful because it shortens
the mothers lives and cheats their
children out Of the values that make
life worth living
When people cease to be useful,
they decay. Even children can de-
cay in body and mind if they are
allowed to drift aimlessly through
their days. I'd stop calling young
people children when they reached
the age of IA or thereabouts and
had the mentality that suited their
ages.
Id teach every child to be useful
in whatever place he found himself.
Id cease calling youth childhood.
I'd insist that each child and each
youth learn a technical trade, craft
or art along with his general edu-
cation. Usefulness is essential to
healthy living. Healthy minds and
bodies face life without fear.
Let's ask children and all young
people to be useful.

Make Nails
ABeauty
Asset
Use the Very Best
Equipment You
Can Afford
By Patricia Lindsay

"A good workman never complains
about his TOOLS" Is an old adage
which want to tear to pieces. For
any good workman will insist upon
good tools and there is no doubt
but what he does superior job be-
cause his tools are good!
That brings me to discuss mani
curing nails-all the tools used to
make fingers and nails lovely.
Every woman and girl should
have the best manicuring set that
she can afford To give ones self
an adequate manicuring, one should
have a stiff bristled nail brush, a
pair of true clippers, a supply Of
emery boards, at least two sizes OF
orange sticks. fresh cotton, cuticle
OIL a small stick brush to get be-
meath the nails and under the
cuticle. and nail polish. a remover
and sealer. If one Bluffs the nails,
instead of lacquering them, a buffer
and paste or powdered nail sinner
are needed. Without such supply
of tools 1t is difficult to give a mani
cure which looks professional and
which gives beauty to the nails.
How one goes about the manicure
is important, too. Always soak the
nails in warm soapy water after
shaping them gently with an emery
board. When dried, apply the cuticle
or nail oil about the rim of the nail.
and under the nail. Wrap a bit OF
cotton on the end of a narrow
orange stick and dip it into cuticle
remover. Then gently and rhyth-
mically, push back the cuticle and
scrape away any dried skin which
might tend to cling to the nail.
If there are any hangnails clip them
off with the clippers-but do not
cut around cuticle with scissors. If
you do, the cuticle will grow cal
loused and thick. If you buff your
nails, use bit of pencil whitening
beneath them, after they have been
scrubbed again with soapy water.
If you paint your nails see that they
have thoroughly dried from the
brushing, before applying nail base
or lacquer polish. Practice will
steady your hand, and you will soon
be able to paint even moons and
leave hairline rim on the edge of
each nail. Most poishes require 10
minutes for drying well.
The new nail polish sealer, which
is colorless, shortens the drying time
of polish. 1t is applied over the
polish when it is partly dry, and
those who produce it claim it pro-
tects the polish from chipping or
peeling
inexpensive, washable cotton
gloves, which are loose fitting, are
marvellous to use during special

Why Grow
Old?
Bv Josebhine Lowman

y
Pygmalion was a skilled sculptor
who lived in Ancient Greece. For
reasons I cannot possibly imagine,
he hated all women, perhaps because
he could abide nothing short OF per-
fection and all human begins are
fraught with imperfections which
mar the spirit and figure faults
which detract from perfect beauty.
Therefore, Pygmalion hied himself
to his studio and carved himself q
statue of a woman who was perfect
in every way.
His art was so flawless that It
ceased to look like art but more like
nature. Propinquity being what 1t
is, he promptly fell in love with his
statue. In fact, he became so OBJ
sessed with his love that he offered
sacrifices and prayed to Venus to
give his statue real life.
Venus answered his prayer and
Pygmalion, arriving home from the
festival a shade late, was met at
the door by his enlivened love. They
lived happily ever after.
While modern husbands cannot
order their wives to specifications.
they do spur them on by wishing
to have them lovely. Many women
today are exercising and dieting for
the sake of some man they love.
Modern ladies can just about decide
what kind of figures they wish to
have and then make their wish
come true.
The following exercise is fine for
the legs and hips and thighs: Lie
on your back, arms at sides. Lift
the legs up, rolling back onto your
shoulders. Quickly catch yourself
by placing your hands under your
hips, Strengthening legs toward
ceiling and bracing your elbows
against the floor.
You may need help getting up to
this position at first. While in this
position separate the legs and bring
them together. Do this several
times. Now lower the left leg to
the floor (stiff knee while still
pointing right leg toward ceiling.
Raise left leg. Now lower right leg
to the floor Raise leg. Continue,

I am sorry for a boy whose father
and mother have protected him so
carefully since his birth that he has
had no life of his own and now, at
the age of 10, is not likely to have.
There is no real reason for this Sc
clusion of a healthy boy save the
parents fear and selflshness.
Since birth this boy has not been
allowed to be alone for an hour,
never played with other boys, never
has been to school on his own. He
is escorted there; hedged about with
restrictions; escorted home again.
Wherever his parents go he Is
taken along like so much baggage.
He sits by the side of his father in
the car. He does not drive the car.
He cannot swim: he does not ride a
horse: he plays no game; he is
learning to do no work. If this boy
were described to you, you would say,
He is feeble minded"
He is intelligent and used to be
healthy. Lately he has been de-
veloping nervous disorders. and his
parents are taking him to physi-
clans for treatment. One of the
physicians suggested that he be
turned loose to look out for himself,
but the parents were so shocked at
the suggestion that they stopped
visiting that physician.
This Is an extreme case of pro-
lection of childhood, but we have
so much Of this overcare that it is
time to consider where it is lead
ing. For example, we say children
should not work for their living I
agree with that idea. But is that to
mean children should grow up in
idleness?
And how long is a child a child?
When young people of 80 are called
youths and adolescent boys and girls
of II, as big as ever they will be
and mature in many ways, are called
children and forbidden to work, 1t
is too bad for them and for us.

centuries of earnest effort.
Furthermore, we're wondering just
what you do when you're walking
with one boy and happen to pass
another who is extremely attractive.
Honestly, now, don't you steal maybe
just one tiny little glance? You're
probably tactful enough not to do it
openly, but We can't help suspecting
that you feel at least slight flicker
of interest in the handsome stranger.
Okay-how can you blame a boy
if he has the same natural impulse?
OF course, there's no excuse for his
being tactless enough to let his eye
brows knock his hat off and GER
tainly he shouldn't go "M-mm" or
woo, wool" under his breath. But
you really have no justification for
getting angry just because he no
tices pretty girl. After all, the
fact that he's walking with you
doesn't make him blind.
When boys stop being conscious of
girls and appreciating their good
looks it's going to be just too bad
for the girlS-you included. So we'd
advise you to accept this situation
with as good grace as possible. Pre-
tend you don't notice his interested
glance. Or, if you can do it sin
cerely and not cattily, you might
even say, Isn't she pretty!"
But certainly you should not re-
buke the boy for his innocently
wandering eye. Granted that he
has committed a breach of good
manners. it's still the best policy to
ignore all such breaches when they
occur in your presence. To dc
otherwise would be equally bad
manners on your part.
AS for you fellows-well, you see
how the girls react to those linger-
ing looks you've been bestowine
upon some neat number. We're not
suggesting that you wear blinders
or that you concentrate your gaze
solely on AIMS soulful eyes when
you're walking with her.
But certainly it's rude and tactless
to let your attention stray from you,
feminine companion to some passing
glamour dish. II you must look, de-
1t briefly, silently, and as casually
as is humanity possible.

Clothes Care

If clothing is hung up carefully,
you will save a lot of pressing.
Select your hangers with care. Thin,
dainty garments need wider hangers,
covered with felt or velveteen to
prevent tearing. To keep sheer
clothes from slipping off, stick
thumb tacks two inches from each
end of a wooden or covered hanger.
Often, best" dresses should be hung
by straps attached to the waistband
or the shoulders. Fasten the straps
to covered hangers with small pins
Give each garment plenty Of closet

none falls down.
