MAPS AND RESTS.

Until baby on three meal a day
schedule, he should have in addition
to twelve hours of sleep at night, two
maps during the day. When he be-
comes adjusted to having his dinner
at noon, he will take one long nap in
the afternoon. 1t is often necessary,
while his schedule is being changed
from the ten and two o'clock feelings
to a noon meal, to set the hour for
dinner and nap slightly earlier than
twelve o'clock.
The baby who is too exhausted to
eat his dinner and therefore dawdles,
is not setting up satisfactory eating
habits. While the baby take two maps
day, care should be taken that the
afternoon nap is not too late in the
day, or he may acquire a habit Of
wakefulness during the evening.
It is more likely that a child will
continue to take his afternoon rests
well if from babyhood he is accus-
toned to being put to bed directly
after the noon meal. If he is brought
in from play, undressed and washed
and made practically ready for bed
before his noon meal, he will be less
likely to rebel or to plead to be
allowed to go out again to play.
A child should he completely un-
dressed for his nap 1t is important tc
keep child's attitude toward bed anc
sleep a pleasant one. This is why g
| child should never be put to bed a:
a punishment. Two boys who were
frequently punished in this way tool
to whining at their bed hour, cav
we don't want TO go to bed, We haven
done anything naughty"
Parents are often discouraged be-
cause the nap habit seems to be out
grown too early, at three or three
and a half. Very often it is fount
that a change in routine will brinl
about a return to the nap habit. On
boy whose mother complained tina
he would no longer take nap, o
that if he did he remained awak
late in the evening, was found t.
have a series of habits that led VI
to the situation. AS a result of beinl
up late at night, he slept late in tn
morning, often breakfasting as lat
as nine or ten o'clock. This mean
that he was not hungry for his din
ner until one o'clock. After dinner h
was allowed to go out to play, conse
quently it was often three O'Clock be
fore he fell asleep. When his hour
were rearranged so that he at
promptly at noon and was awake ant
ready for outdoor play by three o'clocl
he was quite ready to go to bed a
seven.

inches long when full-grown, was
found feeding on elm trees. The
body is black, dotted with white

Twelve Tank
Cars Wrecked

In wreck on the Low Grade
Railroad near Safe Harbor, Pa, on
Tuesday morning of last week
twelve tank cars loaded with fuel oil
were burned. About 100000 gallons
of gasoline were lost in the fire that
swept throughout the wrecked
tankers.
1t was necessary to send for foa-
mite firefighters from Wilmington to
get the blaze unan~ e7rtrol. The fuel
poured out as Il $ upset, filing
the space along the tracks and sat
urating the wooden ties, which
ignited and burned fiercely.
The high tension electric wires
were burned and supporting steel
upright posts were twisted and bent
by the great heat.
Besides the twelve tank cars, two
empty box cars, one box car loaded
with cased petroleum products and
another loaded with china-clay pro-
ducts, were destroyed by the flames.
A half-mile of right-of-way was
wrecked as the ties burned and the
rails were twisted by the intense
heat.

porary personnel to postal stats,
but this man power is hard to find
and is inexperienced. Facilities of
railroads and air line are heavily
taxed by movements of huge guam
titles of war materials and person
mel. Extra trucks are almost impos-
sible to obtain. Winter weather,
hampering transportation, is begin
ming.
The free-mailing privilege granted
to members of the armed forces has
raised their mailings some 80 per
cent, it is estimated. Expanion of
those forces also is adding rapidly
to the postal burden.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy
personnel overseas with assurance
that the parcels will arrive by Chrit-
mas. The New York post office re-
ports that in late October, $4,000
such parcels were handled daily in
that Office alone.
The Post Office Department is
making strenuous efforts to avoid
such terrific jam as it faced in
1918 under similar conditions, dur
ing the First World War. It can sue
Gee in those efforts--and avoid many
heartaches for its patrons--if the
public will cooperate by mailing
early.

GIGANTIC TASK OF POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT
Movement OF Deluge Of Christmas Parcels
Cards And Letters

The Post Office Department now
is starting the most gigantic task
in its history--the movement of q de-
luge of Christmas parcels, cards and
letters while maintaining the regu-
lar flow of millions of pieces Of mail
daily to and from our armed forces
all over the world.
Indications are that the volume
of Christmas mail will be the larg-
est on record. Already in September,
latest month for which figures are
available, retail sales had reached a
level second only to the record
month of December, 1941, according
to the Department of Commerce.
And sales are rising. Such heavy
purchases always presage heavy
mailings.ss
If thousands of our soldiers, sail
ors, marines and civilian friends are
not to be disappointed at Christmas
time, the public must cooperate by
mailing earlier than ever before and
by addressing letters and parcels
properly. The best efforts of the
Post Office Department alone cannot
be enough, in view of wartime diff
culties faced by the postal system.
The public must assist.
About $4,000 experienced postal
workers already have been taken by
