Boys who have just recovered from influenza or other cOmiaIlns IcabIe disease should be examined by . doctor before participating
 In strenuous athletics. after going back to school after influenza or any other communicable MENTAL ILLS
 ARE WORST PROBLEMS
 The thyroid gland may develop during adolescence, especially in girls, and result in @ simple goiter. This often is prevented by taking small quantities of iodine under a doctors guidance or by using iodized table salt.
 The most difficult adolescent health problems, however, are in the mental realm, not the physical. Family and community adjustments get out of joint easily and careful adjustments have to be made.
 Mental hygiene has taught us that parent-child relationships in this period are worked out best when the child gradually secures inde. pendence from the parents. Wise parents will see to 1t that their children of this age secure this with the least possible fiction by being their partners, counselors and true friends.
 It may not be popular for par ents to limit use of the family car where adolescents are concerned, but 1t certainly would make for greater health and safety. Many accidents occur when adolescents drive the car late at night. where hllarity In the car makes for eare- less driving.

-"CHYLDREN STRENGTH OF THE NATIoN- Stormy Period Of Adolescence Calls For Wise Parental Guidance
By pr. Richard Arthur Bolt Director, Cleveland Child Health
 Association
 Written for NEA Service Eleventh of i2 Articles

Adolescence = generally speaking between the ages of 10 and 20 = Is 6 very stormy period of life indeed. Parents can do much to ease the strain by making 1t possible for children of this age always to nave a haven of refuge at home where they may seek counsel and guidance.
 This is e time when mental, moral, social and physical ad- justments are being made under considerable stress, with growth and development often pulling in the opposite direction.
 The ductless glands are assort- ing themselves. The sex urge under various guises is tncreas- ingly strong. The child Is getting away from parental control. Neu- roses of various kinds, delinquincy, behavior problems and habit fix" ations often take place.
 If health is harmony and bal- ance of all our functions, then adolescents are having hard time to preserve their health. The death rate is unusually low, but the disability rate is high. The adolescent usually has had most of the children's diseases, but humps often attack children of this age. Accidents. pneumonia. diseases of the heart and appen- dicitis are the leading causes Of death.
 During this period the large muscles of the arms and legs are growing more rapidly than the heart muscle. and any additional strain put upon the heart, es- peciaily after an infectious dis. ease, may prove disastrous. Boys planning to play competitive games should be examined by doctor

more than four people should ever
attempt to eat In a car unless us
a station wagon. Modern back and
front seats will accommodate three
passengers nicely, as long as they
are merely passengers. But when
they become diners, elbows hit other
elbows and things inevitably are
spilled.
Rule No. 2 is to avoid very gooey
and drippy foods. Club sandwiches
and other three-deckers are very
appetizing, but few people can con-
sumo such connections without
popping out a morsel OF bacon or
squeezing loose some very moist
bits of tomato or salad dressing.
AS a corollary, we give you the
suggestion that catsup, mustard
and barbecue sauce should be used
very sparingly, if at all. If you
must use them switch on the dome
light before spreading them around.
Darkness greatly increases the
hazards of handling these items,
and one small slip means a clean
ing bill.
Most young moderns know that
horseplay and edibles shouldn't be
mixed, and they observe the rule
fairly well when they are in a res
taurant. But when they are outside
in a car they revert to the nursery
with a vengeance. Johnny the

Cut out this cleverly shaped scroll
in velvet and applique it at the

have a dirndl dress of character!
And it is a dirndl dress you must

a junior girl facing season of par

eral?
You can have this darling frock
at almost no cost at all when you
make it yourself. Pattern No.

all you do is Join the long torso top
fitted with two darts in front and
two in back with the full, gath

Then apply the velvet touches and

you could dream about.
Notice that the top buttons down
the back, which is a great help in
fitting the frock, and that the pat
tern offers two sleeves-one short
and pulled with narrow cuffs, and
the other three-quarter length.

1t any wonder that the upholstery
takes a beating?
A useful dodge practiced by many
auto eaters is that of opening the
glove compartment and using 1t for
a tray on which drink may be set.
This works very well, but we can't
give a similar recommendation 10
the practice of setting cups and
glasses on the arm rests. In all too
many cases, they just don't stay
there.
Finally, when you patronize a
drive-in, show a reasonable con-
sideration for the car-hops. Most
of these boys Cor girls) work hard
and fast, and naturally they make
an occasional mistake. CThe other
night we first got coke, and then
of all things-a peanut butter milk
shake before finally receiving the
soda we had ordered) But getting
sore or sarcastic won't speed up
your service. 1t will just make the
car-hop's job tougher and mark
you as bore.
And don't forget to tip. The car
hop earns it.

Child Must
Concentrate
Or Fail
Lack of Attention
Is Detrimental
To Studies
By A neelo Patri

The child who fails in school IS
often described as one who does not
concentrate. That means that he
does not attend to his work, looks
about the room, plays with his pen
ell and paper, jumps to attend ia
the door or the waste basket and
does no work that amounts TO any
thing. The teacher says, He does
not concentrate on his work. II he
could learn to do so he would do
as we'll as any other child"
That is true. Any child who con-
centrates on the work in his hands
will do 1t we'll The one who does
not will fail. The teachers prob
lem is to get the failing child to
attend to his work, and she cannot
do that, try as she may. She starts
the child, stands by him, keeps him
going for a few minutes, and then
he stops: his mind is off and away.
She is powerless to catch and bind
It to the task. Why?
Concentration is prolonged atten-
ton. Every child who sees gives at
tention to what he sees, but no TWO
children attend the same length OF
time to any given object nor do
they attend to the same objects.
What attracts one may not attract
the other, and the time they at
tend depends on their interest. That
is true for all healthy children.
Some children have not the power
to "pay attention" for span longer
than the time it takes for them to
look. see and turn away. I don't
know why, any more than know
why some children can run faster
and farther than others. Some chill
dren have very short span of at
tention for some things and longer
one for others: and we say they
are interested in those they attend
to.
Why are they not interested in
the others? They don't attend to
them; they cannot get up interest
in them. There must be a reason.
I suspect that it is lack of power
to be interested. to understand, to
do and to experience in this field.
A child who cannot read because
OF some visual or nervous defect
cannot pay attention to reading les
sons. We find that he tires early and
cannot hold on. He cannot pay at
tention to work he cannot do. I
think that this is behind every case
Of inattention in school, Some in
herent weakness prevents the child
from attending to the work. He
cannot attend to it until that weak
ness, whatever it is-poor vision, de-
fective nerve cells, whatever defect
Is presents removed.
would like to have every teacher
IN the world know that all children,
for the best part of their working
day want to do we'll, want to sue
coed and, accordingly. try to do their
work as we'll as they can. When one
fails it is not because he willed
to fail. He wants to stand high and
be respected by his classmates and
his teachers, and he feels bad when
he loses his place among them.
He needs help, special help, when
he fails
