 There ought to be law and there will be at least Q moral law soSa@ day requiring every person who has an alleged "cold" to wear Q suitable mask whenever he or she approaches within effective spray range of other people.

PARENTS SHOULD
 QUESTION THEMSELVES

During those months of wonder ing what to do, ask yourself these questions:
 i. Are you the kind of parent who is 50 nervous and anxious pr bothered about your own prop lens that you lack both patience and firmneSS and tend to fly OH inc handle with your children?
 2. Are your child's faults improv" ing as he gets older? Is he grad ually gaining in self control and the ability to get along with oth- CTS, or are his bad traits becoming more fixed and preventing him get- ting along at work and play?
 3. Is your child happy? Does ne enjoy the things most children do, so that he finds living interesting and worthwhile? Or is he sullen, indifferent or depressed most of the time?
 If the answers to these questions are unsatisfactory and keep on be- ing unsatisfactory despite your best efforts, dor't be discouraged. but go for help to someone who knows more than you do. Don't go to just anyone who calls himself a psy- chologist or whom your neighool says is really wonderful"

Put altogether in e single layer in heavy frying pan. Cover tightly and cooa until brown, turn, brown on other side. Just be- fore they finish cooking, sprinkle with a little salt and sugar.
 Apple tarts may be made up quickly by baking tart shells on inverted muffin pans, then filling them with well-Seasoned apple sauce. A spoonful of whipped cream atop each tart adds eye appeal as well as taste appeal. And For something extra special - sprinkle whipped cream with cinnamon, nutmeg, chopped nuts, or candied ginger root.

 Be sure to buy the apple that suits your needs, If you aren't quite sure, take home sample before you in- vest in large quantity. Use little or no water in cooking. The apple itself is over 30 per cent water, and much of this cooks out. Avoid over cooking,

THE MEN HAD HAD IT EASY

And that. of course, is why 1t takes a national emergency and Q scarcity of men for mems work to show the women just how the men have been putting 1t over on them all through the years.
 The jobs men picked for them- selves and labeled "men's work" were for the most part better pay- ing jobs than anything they left as being suitable for women. Not only that, the jobs didn't demand as much dull drudgery as the jobs they willingly handed over to women. Nor did they take as much tact and nerve-tiring diplomacy.

WHY GO

There's no reason why women now that they have crossed the line labeled "men,s york;" should ever return to the limited fields in which they used to be content.
 For, if Q woman in times of eEa- ergency can hold down a job men have always pretended was too hard for her, she has a perfect right to compete with men for the same Job when the emergency is over.

of course, misuse thus generates e lot of empty flattery that we rec. ogniEe instantly for what 1t Is. But we also know the difference be- tween that and the honest appre- ciatlon of other people.
 The two remarks which women resent most of all, of course, are, "That makes you look old" and '"That makes you look younger" So why not try instead. "Wtat blue eyes today they're BLUEl" That Is, if the wozman's new blue hat does enhance her eyes, call attention to the result, rather than to the means.
 And, at the very least, remem- ber its much better to go your own sweet way, making yourself as att tractive as possible and letting 1t go at that, than constantly seek the others Achilles heel and thus call attention to your own.

 The personality experts sound Idea that you never build yourself up by tearing someone else down applies fully to beauty. And I'll go a step further and say it's worth- while to look for tho other wunan's charms = and look honestly - and tell her about them.

 New York.-A great deal has been said about the necessity of cou- nonsense in getting along with children. Again and again we hear reiterated, "Al a child needs from his parents is old~fashioned coIn- nonsense - all these fancy psy- chologists do more harm than good"
 There is of course much more than a grain of truth in this. Many no-called problem" children turn out to be unloved or mismanaged children who respond eagerly 70 someone who treats them with warmth and understanding. These things are fundamental to success with children,
 Yet good as 1t is, common-sense has been vastly over-rated; espe. cially, it should be added, by per. sons who possess 1t least, It is not & remedy that always works. Com mon.sense has limitations; there are some children, without being physically i'll, who are SO unhappy or so out of tune with their world that only special knowledge and treatment by experts with scientitic knowledge can get to the bottom of the difficulty,
 FULFILLING CHILDREN
 SCIENTIFICALLY HELPED
 If parents have children who pug gle them because they are ttmtd and shy, who are diSobedient and willfOl, who are bored in school, who can't take responsibilities, who are jealous, who are bullies and can't get along with other children who tell lies or are generally an tagonistic to reasonable suggestions -of course they should try to help them overcome these things by every common-senSe method.
 Children, even naughty or ~dtf. ficult" ones, need affection and reaSslirance = Q chance to ''grow out of 1t" in their own way and time. They need opportunities to develop skills and capacities that build self-esteem and friendships that satisfy.
 Yet, not all children ~grow out of It." Sometimes they do and some times they don't, Parents use this phrase too freely as though 1t were inevitable. They use 1t to avoid facing responsibility for problems that may really lead to serious handicaps. There are problem" children, and it is not always the parents fault either. Parents should, however, feel the responsibility Tor doing all in their power to insure healthy character development, just as they feel this responsibility to their child's physical health.
 If they are in doubt as to wheth- CT a character trait is likely to come out in the wash or remain a fixed handicap, they should not hesitate to consult a child guid- ance expert, any more than they would hesitate to call a doctor when they fear illness, There should he no more sense of failure and disgrace in one case than in the other.

Fodder Saving Time
Comes To Sussex Co.
Corn Fields Are Rapidly Maturing
With Bumper Crop Expected

With the arrival of September
come watermelon parties, fodder
saving and cider time.
The corn fields rapidly are ma
turing and a bumper crop is ex-
pected and in some sections al
ready the farmers have started to
harvest the fodder crop. Years ago
it was customary to strip the
blades and top the fodder and bun
die them at the same time. For the
past rs years it is different. Farm
ers pay but little attention to the
blades, but in many cases top the
fodder. There are hundreds of
farmers, however, who do not bo-
ther with either the blades or tops,
but cut the corn to the ground and
place it in shocks" and in the late
fall shuck the corn and feed the
entire stock to the cattle. This is
one revolution in farming processes
within the past three decades. 1t
means less work for the farmers
and at the same time the cattle |
and horses have the benefit of the
stocks of fodder. Fifty years ago,
no farmer would think about cut
ting down the stocks. They had

Back in the snsallss college grid
spotlight after passing through
several dismal seasons, followers
of the University of Delaware foot
ball team are looking forward to a
continuation of the winning COM
plex which infested the squad just
before mid-season last year.
With Bill Murray, former Duke
athlete, at the helm, the Blue Hens
served notice to their rivals that
they aren't to be taken too lightly
in the future.
With Murray making his coach
ing debut at the university as
successor to Steve Grenda, last year
began in an all-too-familiar style
as the Blue and Gold dropped three
straight tits, but they hit stride
just before mid-season and pro-
ceeded to bowl over opponents with
a spirit that has been lacking in re-
cent years.
Five straight victories were re-
corded, including wins over old RI
walls such as Pennsylvania Military
College, Lebanon Valley, and Wash
ington College, as the rejuvinated
eleven responded to Murray's
treatment.
