AND coHoco M OIL
oIl-PlATeS YOUR ENGINE!

Long the keystone of Conoco success,
oIL-PLATING comes from another
great Conoco synthetic Tnan-nade
under the famed Germ Processed oil
patent. BY nasnet-like action, OIL
PLATING is bonded TO inner engine
parts. Then it can't al, drain down
not even overnight - not while you
use Conoco Nth. So OIL-PLATING is
and helps mileage, as it did in Death
Valley. An oIL-PLATED engine is one
more economy you get from a change
to popular priced new Conoco Nth oil.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1941-08-15

The finish came only as one brand of oil
after another quit work entirely, causing
final engine destruction. And Conoco Nth
oil far outlasted all others; outlasted the
runner-up by 1858 miles; outlasted another
by all of S, PCS miles. Conoco Nth outlasted
the average of the others tested by 1857

When you re wringing wet these days, just
think of Death Valley. 1t holds the official
U. S. record of 134o hot. Wild animals there
rarely come out in the heat of day. You'll
admit that hotspot for testing any motor
oil. And that's exactly where representa-
tive oils got fair trial for their lives-to give
you up to date certified mileage figures.

This Death Valley mileage record is today

was proved for you in advance-by dar-

6identical new stock coupes We're broken
in alike Test officials had checked en-
gines, part by part, insuring uniformity.
The Referee bought 5 big-name oils at
retail. The other oil was the same new
Conoco Nth that you can buy today.
The Referee put one strict 5-quart fill
in each engine; locked it up tight.
Never a drop could be added.
All cars ran 81 miles an hour-in the
same Death Valley desert-on the same

One Of the greatest mistakes that
parents make in dealing with their
children is in not realizing that
praise has the same effect upon
them that it has upon adults. 1t
Is uplifting and inspiring. It is the
Archimedes lever that moves the
world. All of us know that the thing
that makes us grown-ups put our
hearts and our backs in our work is
commendation. Yet most fathers
and mothers go upon the theory that
the way to incite ambition in a child
is to tell it how dull and stupid and
blundering it is. Apparently, the
great majority Of parents seem to
think either that it will develop sin
full vanity in their youngsters to
give them a word of appreciation
for good performances, or else that
compliments are too valuable a
commodity for home consumption.
At any rate all that the poor little
tikes get from morning till night is
criticism, so it is no wonder that
when little girl was asked her
name she replied that it was Don't
Mary.
OF course, the fathers and mothers
who bring up their children on the
nagging theory are not Intentionally
cruel. On the contrary, they love
their children and think they are
doing their duty by them in keeping
their faults and weaknesses ever be-
fore them, and they are blissfully
unaware that they are doing them
the greatest harm that one human
being can do another, for they are
establishing inferiority complexes in
their youngsters that will doom them
to failure as long as they live.
What parents forget is that they
are their children's public. and if
the youngsters never get the glad
hand from Nom and Pop they feel
just as Inundated and discouraged
as an author does if his book falls
fiat. or business man does when his
enterprise goes into bankruptcy.
Also, children take their parents
estimation of themselves as final
and if all Of their virtues are passed
over in silence and the spotlight is
always turned on their mistakes and
blunders, they feel that they have

been weighed in the balance and
found wanting, and there is no use
in trying to do better and to be what
they can never be.
Parents are always wailing out
that all their efforts to improve their
children seem to get nowhere. Il
have told Johnny a million times
to act like little gentleman and he
still comes barging into the house
like a hoodlum." II am always cor
recting Mary's posture, but nothing
I can say keeps her from tying her
self in knot when she sits down"
Il am simply at my wits end to
know what to do with my children.
I don't seem to have any influence
with them" How often we hear
that wall from fathers and mothers
OF course, they haven't. because
they are going about influencing
them in the wrong way. Children
get hardnened to abuse They learn
to shut their ears against fault-find-
ing. But they are avid for praise.
They hunger and thirst for their
parents appreciation.
There is no surer way to make
boy give up all efforts toward getting
an education than for his parents
to keep harping on how dull he is
and terrorizing him over his report
cards. Nor is there any surer way to
kill whatever personality a plain girl
has than for Mother always to be
complaining about how awkward she
is and bemoaning that she took after
her fathers family in looks. 1t is
the parents who put out the fire on
the altar in many a child's soul by
destroying his self-confidence in
himself.
OF course, praise, like every other
good thing, should be given a child
in judicious amounts and only when
it is deserved. 1t should be recog-
milton of good work and have in 1t
that element of hope that makes a
youngster feel that it can 60 on to
achieve what 1t wants in the world.
Tell your children how good they
are, but they can be better.

Also, her outer coating is likely

If you don't wish to bother with
any of this, you can use a suntan

"a fence across the room. BY using
modern headboard beds, which are
actually comfortable box springs on
legs with headboard attached, in
the usual twin bed width of 80
inches, the room was Immediately
much better in composition and
comfort. The heads of the beds
were upholstered in the chintz to
match the draperies and dressing
table, thus repeating the fabric pat
tern on the wall opposite the WIN
dowS to give much better balance
to the room. In this arrangement
there is no sacrifice of comfort for
appearance. A generous 22-inch
pedestal table with reading lamp is
used between the beds and there
still remains wide passage into the
room, 30-inch passage at the
foot of the beds, and room at the
side to make the beds without mov-
ing them.
A standard dressing table would
be at least 18 inches wide, but it is
not necessary for use as a makeup
table and would have been impos-
slble in this room. Instead, a 10
inch shelf placed on the wall be-
tween the windows has a skirt to
match the draperies and a mirror
glass for the top. This is adequate
in size for dresser lamps and the
usual accessories. An old gilt oval
mirror makes graceful wall decora-
tion and small bench slides under
the dressing table skirt when not
in use.
There is no effect of scaling
down or of sparse equipment in
this room. The white chintz chair
is wide. generous and comfortable.
Cool green walls give an open,
spacious feeling to the room. The
white background chintz with green
leaves and soft pink roses repeated
on both sides of the room gives all
the pattern interest necessary so
that wall spaces are uncluttered
with pictures or bric-a-brac. A
shirred valance of rose -colored ma
terial across the windows repeats
the color in the chintz and adds
the necessary warmth to the room
This same color forms the band
around the dresser skirt and the slips
under the white organdy bedspreads.
All of these details give an illusion
of space while actual inches are
conserved by careful selection.

best perhaps of all, the simple,
beautifully tailored little black
dress" enhanced this year with
tiny forward tilted hats or those
set far back on the head, with
snoods or other back interest.
Reminiscent of the Victorians
were jacket dresses with peplum and
hem edged in beaver. worn with tiny
beaver muff and hat. Skirts in
most of the daytime models tended
toward fullneSs, some with side
draping. Despite much talk of softer
shoulders and deeper armholes,
these were so modified as to be
almost unnoticeable Very much in
evidence, however, were such 10Th
century trends as the coachman's
collar, the jacket dipping in back,
the suit with bottle green jacket,
sulphur coiored Weskit and fawn
skirt.
Definitely breath-taking was Berg
dorf Goodman's display of evening
modes shown with exquisite jeWelry,
including, of all things. a solid gold
evening helmet" Also shown were

up dinner types to the most reveal
ing evening styles, particularly
stressed a low V neckline which in
many cases looked almost unWear-
able Slender sheaths with dar-
ingly slit skirts, figure-revealing
gowns with tiny straps, were worn
with long mitts, often in taffeta or
lace to match the dresses. An eX-
quisiteneSS Of detail was obvious
throughout, with a new, fattering
bodice drape worked in both day
and evening modes. Ornate but
tasteful detailing appeared in the
form of tiny pastel beads in flower
design, almost covering the front
of a black crepe gown, or, heavy
pearl embroidery placed at the
bodice of a black velvet dress and
repeated again in great chunky de-
signs at the hem. The ''harem type"
skirt looks important for winter wear,
best done in black or pastel taffeta.
Also outstanding are sheaths of
lame which reveal even one extra
pound, and dresses of gold cloth
which may be worn with a shawl
of gold and turquoise.

two very popular fashions. Pattern
No. 1459-B is based on the dirndl

and full skirt, the unique feature is
that the top is open so that a dickey
Is worn with it, and the fabric of
the dickey is repeated in a band
around the hemline of the swingy
gathered skirt. At one and the
same time you are dressed peasant
fashion and tailored, too, when you
wear this frock. 1t is destined for
wide success with the returning COL
lege girls. Girls who are in business
will find it ideal for it provides the
opportunity to wear a fresh touch

Needs Care
OfDoctor
Functional Upset
May Have Serious
Consequences
By Lettice Lee Street,
Dear Mrs. STREET.:

OcdI UIS. SlIctLl.
My question is what to do about
vomiting baby? He weighed
pounds 9 ounces at birth and now
at months he weighs 18 pounds.
He loves to eat, but brings back food
as late as two or three hours after
feeding. This is very upsetting as
I never know how much food he
retains. Thank you kindly for your
help. MRS. c. H.
A most encouraging fact is that
your baby boy is apparently gain
ing and growing as he should
Eighteen pounds is a normal weight
for him and this shows that he is
vomiting only a part Of his food.
Perhaps he is just very greedy
little fellow, and eats more than
he should. However, it sounds as
though he might be what is known
as a "ruminator." Illumination is q
functional disorder and the name
describes vomiting that is not
brought up in a rush, but which
more or less seems to roll out of
the mouth. Strange as it may seem,
babies sometimes do this because
they like to.
! A doctor can decide If this is true
OF your baby by watching action of
the tongue and the jaw muscles.
Thick cereals are sometimes help
full in feeding children who have
developed this habit and the doctor
may order that the baby wear a
cap with a wide band pulled snugly
under the chin to keep the jaws to-
gether. The baby will wear this
cap for about two hours after each
feeding.
At any rate, let me stress strong
ly to you the Importance of your
taking your little son to a pedia-
trician at once. 1t is impossible for
any one to tell you what the true
cause is without seeing the baby, so
please do not delay in visiting the
doctor.
There are many reasons why bot
| tle-fed infants vomit, and among
them are:
The forcing of food when the baby
Is not well or has eaten enough.
Illness or acute indigestion.
Overfeeding. Some babies will eat
more than they need when the food
Is offered to them.
Irregular feeding schedule.
Eating too rapidly.
Eating too slowly.
Rough handling after feeding.
Excitement, fatigue, nervousness.
Milk that is too rich in fat, or
an improperly balanced formula.
Sleeping in stuffy, poorly venti-
lated room.
We have prepared two useful
gifts for you: One is a chart that
clearly shows the value of foods
suitable for the average young
child and the other describes a

Encounters
Misunderstands
Request to Use
First Name
By Emily Post

The modern generations bad taste
in the matter of unrestrained first
name calling apparently does meet
with occasional rebuff. At least this
is the evidence sent me by young
man who went to stay with the FAM
lily of his college roommate. The
family includes two younger sisters
and young stepmother. He tells
me, "She seems young and acts
young. although she has been my
friends stepmother for quite a few
years and now has two small chill
dren of her own. My friend and his
sisters call her by her first name
Jane. This is the only name I have
ever heard them call her. I called
her Mrs. Smith, although she
seemed too young to be called that.
When I wrote my thank-you
note, told her what a wonderful
time I had, and that as she had
seemed so completely one of us
wondered if she would let me call
her Jane the next time I saw her.
Well, l don't think there will be a
next time-becauSe she has mis-
understood me entirely and resents
my freshness and so far as / can
guess, the front door is shut to me.
I think her attitude is silly, and I
never once called her Jane. I only
asked her if I might Ali the same,
I feel sorry about it."
This sort of question is difficult
to answer, because I have no idea
how your letter was worded. If at
the time you were staying in the
house you had asked, do you mind
If I call you Jane, too?" she might
have said NO; but she might not
have misunderstood you as she evi-
IDENTIFY did your letter. The point is
that many things can be said briefly
and lightly, but they become as solid
as stone cutting when they are put
down in black and white If you
have read your "Iliad." you know
how much Homer spoke of winged
words" This is just what spoken
words can be, but which written
words cannot! Even so, if I were
you I would write her another let
ter and say briefly that you feel
very sad as we'll as upset to find out
that you had been fresh, because
you had not intended to be-and
let it go at that! I can't imagine
that she will shut, the door on you
for long-if at all.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it wrong for a
soon-to-be divorced person to an
nounce her engagement before final
papers have come through? Every
one knows she and her husband
have been separated for some time.
Answer-It is certainly not in best
taste. Although it is done by many
who might be expected to know bet
ter. The answer is definitely no.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
who travels on the same train with
the deceased, whose body must be
taken from one place to the other
for burial Some say the nearest
kin, others say this would be cruel.
Answer-Not only are the nearest
kin expected to perform this Office,
but those to whom the deceased was
dearest, usually do.
