There seems to be considerable
argument these days over that 6
am. bottle for the baby. Which
parent should do the job, when both
parents were out late the night
before and neither is a natural
early riser?
If you aren't careful about the
way you handle this knotty problem,
one of you will be saddled with the
job for good, simply because one of
you is less belligerent than the
other. Or, if you are both determined
and obstinate characters, the baby
gets no bottle until eight, and then
what happens to his sense Of
security?
OF course the pat answer would
be that "it's the woman's job" That,
I refuse to accept. If it's a share
and-share-alikeh home that you have
started, the 6 o'clock bottle should
be shared too.
My suggestion would be to toss a
coin the night before. Heads, you
get up at 6. Tails, I get up at 6.
Then mark the results down on a
piece of paper and pin it to the
end of the bed so that there will be
no argument when o'clock comes.
A man with a strong sense of
honor about paying his gambling
debts ought to be able to fit that
routine. JEAN.
P.S.-Let me know how it works.

Right Height
OfDesk Aids
Efficiency
Very Necessary
To Health and
Fine Posture
By Patricia Lindsay

Twenty years ago a woman wrote
to one of the woman's magazines
explaining that her kitchen sink
was too low, so she put a box under
her dishpan and thus prevented
backaches. This letter awakened
the kitchen equipment people to
the fact that for generations wom-
en- had been working at sinks, stoves
and tables which were the wrong
height, and that resulted in kitch-
en- revolution with all working sur
faces raised higher.
Business women have suffered
just as long-they have been work
ing at desks that are too high for
comfort and health, and they prob
ably would have gone on wonder
ing why their backs ached and
their nerves were jangling if ar
enterprising manufacturer hadn't
taken a hint from the kitchen revo-
luton. He designed low 29-inch
desk which seems to lessen Office
slaves fatigue!
To assure good posture while
working here are a few working
rules to follow. Try the 29-inch
height for your desk; have the seat
of your chair 1712 inches from the
floor; sit so that the lower part of
your spine touches the chair with
your abdomen in, head up, back
straight and both feet fiat on the
floor This is the correct position
for typing, too, at your typewriter
table
1t pays to prevent fatigue, so dc
check up on your working equip
ment and see if it is to blame for
those after-office- hours blues! Hours
spent in hunched or strained po-
sition is positively ruinous to fig
ure beauty, and good health is af-
fected too. My hat is off to the
employer who looks into these i'm
portant considerations for his work.
ing staff. He gets his reward In
greater efficiency.

Dorothy Dix Says >~>
1t Is Often Very Difficult to
Make Old People Happy

68 is too old to marry, provided
he marrieS a woman of his own
generation, one who was brought
up in the same school of thought
that he was and who has the same
way of looking at things. Between
middle-aged and elderly men and
women there can be a beautiful
companionship which can make the
last lap of the journey happy and
contented for them both and that
will give them the home without
which both are restless and dis
satisfied.
But this problem of making the
old happy is very difficult one to
solve, because as people grow older
their interest in things fades. their
zeSt in life dies out, and yet they
demand of life the thrills and Joy
that they had when they were young.
They want to be amused. yet
few things entertain them. They
want companionship, which is hard
for them to get, because their old
friends and those they loved have
died, and they take no interest in
new people. They want to indulge
in the amusements they did in their
youth, but their feeble old bodies
will not permit them.
This is why we should all culti-
vate some fad in our youth so that
we may have something to fall
back upon for entertainment when
we are old. An interest in COL
lecting postage stamps or prints
or autographs, or in reforming
something or other, or in playing
golf. This is a staff that carries
many an old person safely over
the latter end of life.
But we have to let people find
their own amusements. They in
variably reject the one we offer
them. But pray heaven that your
father doesn't find his in marry
ing a gold-digger young enough to
be his granddaughter.

Dear Miss DiX-My mother was
my fathers constant companion and
he was greatly dependent upon her.
She worked beside him all day and
was rarely out Of the SOUND OF his
voice. She died about two years ago
and naturally he is very lonely and
he has begun to get moody and feel
that he is being prosecuted. He does
not play golf nor go to church. He
belongs to several clubs, mostly of
people of his own age. but when I
urge him to become active in them
he becomes angry. I have tried to
get him to take part in civic and
community matters, but he refuses.
The only thing he wants to do is
to go around with very young
women. He tries to make dates with
them and when they evade him and
make excuses and keep him waiting
he is very miserable. He is 60 years
old. Now feel that he has as much
right to happiness as any one, but
where can he find it? LOIS.
AnSwer-Well. one thing is certain
and that is that he won't find it in
pursuing young girls. If your father
thinks that he will find happiness
in marrying young girl he is sadly
mistaken. He will find nothing but
misery, which will be all the more
intense when he contrasts it with
the companionship he had with your
mother.

Teach Child
Meaning Of
Freedom
By A ngeio PGtri

A teacher in a public school In
one of our larger towns was assigned
to class of children between 9 and
10 years Of age, all of whom had
unusually high los. The teacher
had no experience with such chill
dren who, in bulk, afford difficult
problem to any educator.
Things began to happen in that
room during the first 10 minutes.
The teacher, accustomed to the rou-
tined classroom, was aStoniShed to
discover that these children paid no
attention to directions, turned a
deaf ear to commands and. in short,
finding that she did not know what
to do with them, took the bit in
their teeth and ran away with her.
In a period of approximate calm
the teacher protested against their
waste of time, their disobedience
and disorder.
One bright 9-year-old said: But,
Miss Rosa, this country fought
against England to win its freedom.
We are free. What's the use of be-
ing free if we can't do what we
please?"
That idea of personal freedom is
not children's alone. Many grown
people hold it, which goes far to ex-
plain this child's attitude.
This is not Russia" said dis
orderly boy to the teacher who ad-
monished him. You can't make
me do anything I don't want to do.
This is a free country"
His father had the same idea,
isn't this a free country? Can't
child enjoy himself little?"
When an elderly woman objected
to the bad manners, the noise and
disorder of some schoolboys who
boarded a train in which she was
travelling, another woman, also eld-
erly, said: They're only children.
Let them be happy as long as they
can" This about boys of II and up
who were racing through the cars,
falling over peoples feet, even into
their laps, shouting and pulling the
emergency cord.
This is mistaken idea of freedom
for childhood and youth. The free
dom that we would have for them
is a disciplined understanding of
their relationship to others, their
duties toward them. their place
among them. American freedom is
based on decent regard for the
rights and feelings of others, de-
sire for the common good. Any
other freedom is not to be called by
that name.
Children and youth need guidance,
control and leadership-the sort that
tends to persuade them to want to
be right with the world, with their
conscience and with their duty.
That requires a certain humility in
the mind of the child. He must ac-
knowledge to himself that he needs
help from his teacher, his parents
and all people wiser than he. He
must be in an attitude to be taught.
Parents have a responsibility in
this. It is not wise to applaud a
child who dominates others in the
belief that he is demonstrating lead
ership. Between bullying and lead
ership there is a far cry. 1t is
unwise to do for a child what he can
do for himself in the mistaken be-
lief one is loving him. Between the
love that strengthens a child and
the love that destroys him stretches
q whole world of difference.
Our clear duty is to free child
from his ignorance, weakness and
tnexperience so that he may know
the real freedom of a cultured, dis
ciplined, informed mind There is
no other freedom worth the naming.

Help to Longer Life

Good sleep means longer life, as
indicated by action of a leading life
insurance company in issuing a
booklet on the subject. The two
worst enemies Of sleep, it points out,
are noise and light, but even when
a room is dark and quiet it may be
hard to get to sleep if the bed is
"lumpy" or "creaky," or too soft or
too hard. To protect the body from
annoying sensations, it is important
to have a comfortable bed. The
mattress should be flexible enough
to give" when the sleeper moves,
but firm enough to keep the body
from sinking down into it.
