sHe has many friends among both Repub-
lican and Democratic factions who know him
as a congenial political character who studies
legislation in which he has an interest with

fit in power to paper the walls OF
their homes with cancelled bonds.
Messrs. Robespierre, Lenin, Trot-
sky and Hitler would have re-
mained in their usurped jobs just
about long enough for the news to
get around.
There is a habit of believing that
tyrant can kidnap a nation and
hold that nation in subsection
against the will Of its people This
is not the case An individual or
a group can grab control and hold
it for a limited period, but they can
maintain that control just so long
as the great mass of the people is
satished-or at least just so long
as they do not become violently op-
posed TO the regime. When the
French people turned against
Robespierre, they cut off his head;
and Oliver Cromwell just squesked
through until the devil carried him
off; after which the public dug him
up and cut off his head. ALI Of
which transpired few years after
King Charles ''got his' from dis
satisfied public. And so 1t always
goes.
No matter what sort of govern
ment is in control of this nation In
postwar days-its greatest care
will be to avoid infuriating half the
citizenry by trifling with their pock-
etbooks. The stability Of the gov
ernment's debt to half or more Of
its citizens. in the form of war
bonds, will be maintained no mat
ter what happens to other values
and investments. And the wider
the ownership the greater the secu-
rity. The treasury hopes to have a
hundred million holders of war
bonds some day-and If we have
any doubts about our personal
financial future-we had best help
them attain their objective.

That is o K so far as it goes. but
parents being human, sometimes
they'd like to be told how to live
through a certain phase! For in
stance. there is the exploratory
stage. as psychologists call it,
which begins when the child out
grows his play pen and the toys
handed to him and starts investi-
eating the house. with the very
laudable purpose of learning his
environment But how can you en-
courage him to get the most out Of
this learning experience and still
live in comparative peace with a
child who is into everything?
There are two approaches to the
problem. II you are a very busy
mother you'll probably have to
take the Safety First approach,
which is TO put everything break
able out of reach, as well as every
thing on which the child might hurt
himself, such as light cords. Your
house won't look as nice as you
like il to. but this stage of your
child's development will be a more
comfortable one for you both. And
after the baby has been put to bed
il doesn't take long to dress the
living room up bit for a sociable
evening with your husband or
friends.
The other approach is the "guid-
ance" one, and if you have the time
