Cure for 1antrums Often Called
Greatest Boon to Humanity

in walking on eggs for fear Of unto
wardly doing something to arouse a
temper that is hung on a hair trigger
will unite in tending a unanimous
vote of thanks not only to Mr..
Groves, who devised this simple ex-
pedient of dealing with the pest,
but to this correspondent who has
passed the good news along to us.
Not even the discovery of radium
or the sulfa drugs or the use of
blood plasma is a greater boon to
humanity than is a good, reliable
remedy for shutting off tantrum
before it really gets a start. But it
is going to make life awfully dull
for the high and put a
terrible crimp in their style. Home
won't be what it used to be when
father merely murmurs placidly:
Maybe so. maybe So when mother
demands to know if it wasn't three
o'clock when he got home this morn
ing: and when mother agrees with
father that her new hat does look
like heck and suggests that perhaps
she had better buy another, instead
OF arguing over the subject.

Like Father, Like Son
Help Your Children Acquire Pleasant Speaking Voices
By Constantly Setting Good Example for Them

A pleasant voice is one of the
most attractive features any young
person can possess. The parent,
who by precept and training, helps
a son and daughter to develop a
charming speaking voice gives them
a gilt-edged security on future.
Beauty, charm, wit and intelligence
are all important, but the addition
of lovely voice intensifies all Of
these.
Most small children have pleas
ant voices. When they start to
speak they have none of the nerv-
GUS tension which later causes
stridency. They are wonderful lit
tie imitators. and if mothers and
fathers would watch carefully the
tone of their own voices, speak
correctly and clearly during the
children's first talking months they
would be amazed at the rapidity
with which the baby would speak
pleasantly and we'll. Instead of that,
grown-ups spend hours of training
time mumbling strange squeaks a
baby talk" which not only retard
the use Of correct words but pitch
the voice at high, unpleasant level
that perseveres for years.
A famous ancient philosopher had
some excellent advice for mothers
on this score. He said Let your
speech be better than silence, or be
silent" Too often many of us break
a pleasant peace by raucous speech.
Much of the stridency we deplore
in the u to 16-year- is re-
Election of the scolding voice of
thoughtless parents. Keep the at
mosphere of your house as serene
and unruffled as possible if you wish
your children to grow up with the
emotional stability that is the foun-
dation for fine voice. Nagging,
shouting and whining make for taut
nerves which in turn produce the
harsh, Strident voice. If you are ir-
ritated beyond control, go into re-
tirement until the storm blows over.
instead of blowing up" before the
family
On the other hand, voices can be
too quiet and Ineffective. "Shush-
lng" children constantly for one
reason or another may make them
grow up into one of the feeble
voiced individuals who are inarticu-
late and self f-conscious about eX-
pressing themselves. They are the
nice, mousy little people who never
get very far because their colorless
voices never CHALLENGE anV one tn
stop very long and listen to them.

As the four couples who make
up the Club de Jeudi assembled for
their 37th weekly dinner party
at the home Of the Kendalls-
dinner being cooked by Joe Ken
dall-this thought was expressed:
These wartimes are hardly days
for going out and having ourselves
time. One the other hand, friends
seem to be more closely drawn to-
gether and these weekly meetings
at one home after another are i'm
portant high spots in this business
OF living in this day and age"
These dinners of the Club de
Jeudi, which started out as gala and
festive occasions on the night when
the cook is out, have become less gala
and festive what with rationing, but
they have become optimistic and
intelligent examples of what can be
done in the face of this and that
shortage.
For instance, this last dinner,
cooked as they all are, by the hus-
bands, featured menu of no mean
proportions. Here it is:
Antipdsto, Assorted
Chicken Liners and Mushrooms
as per Joe
Victory Garden Lettuce
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Starting meal with a platter Of
antipasto is always popular: The
platter contained ripe olives, green
olives, celery, bread-and- butter pic
kle rings, a couple of dozen of very
thin slices of salami and a package
OF Antipasto SOL a special gift from
Joes Aunt Minnie With this was
served a loaf of fresh, crisp and
crusty French bread, warmed in the
oven and served III thin slices-and
very, very good, indeed.
Now, the chicken liver and mush-
room dish is not exactly original
with Joe Kendall. There is a res
taurant where Joe Kendall goes now
and then and the chef is an ex-
marine cook who cooked from pole
TO pole and around the Equator
and this is one of his own favorites.
For eight, one starts with 10 cups
OF cooked macaroni, two cups of
fresh chicken livers and two cups
of fresh or canned mushrooms cor
II dried, then when soaked they
total two cups. Also, one onion
minced fine and two cups of left
over or made brown gravy.
The chicken 1ivers, mushrooms
and onions are cooked in a little
bacon drippings. Then the brown
gravy is added and the mixture
heated together. And then all this
is mixed with the cooked macaroni.

Dear Miss Dix: In regard to
your recent article about temper,
which, as you say, wrecks more mar
riages than drink or sirens or any
other cause. I would like to make
the following suggestions which
may be of help not only to those
who have violent tempers, but to
their victims.
In the first place, giving away to
temper is habit. Those who in
dulge in it get kick out of riding
roughshod over all about them. and
they practice it so often that they
don't even realize that they are
doing it. Also, temper is always
associated with coWardice. Never
yet have I seen a tantrum- -thrower
abuse a person who was bigger and
stronger than he was and who could
physically resent it, Or who was
equally hlgh-tempered and who
would retort in kind They always
choose some one who they think
can't defend themselves. Think of
the people whom they bawl out,
clerks in stores, telephone girls,
walters. etc, etc, and particularly
the members of their families. The
tantrum-throWer is always yellow
Not since Benjamin Franklin and
William James laid down their tru-
isms has any workable remedy for
temper been added until Ernest
Groves of Chapel Hill, N. c., offered
his cure for it. He doesn't bother
about the source of temper. but says
that the tantrum-throWerS can be
controlled when they start by agree
ing with them in indefinite terms"
as, for instance. the one on the re-
ceiving line saying amiably: quite
possibly you are right" Or: May
be, perhaps, such is the case
The last cure l saw worked by the
Groves method was a grandfather,
aged Sc, who was riding his 17-year-
old grandson, of whom he was in
sanely jealous. and who abused the
boy so cruelty l decided to tell him
how to handle his tormentor. The
lad looked grandfather solemnly in
the face with steady eyes and mur-
INJURED indefinite terms, such as
yes, yeS-of course-no doubt" and
so on, and grandpa not being able
to get rise out OF the lad or hurt
him, or even start an argument, was
SO flabbergasted that he pulled
stakes and went to Florida for the
winter, to the great relief of his
family.
So say to all victims of tantrum-
throwers: Try the Grove method.
1t works. S. F. C.
ANSWER: There are very few
families so fortunate as not to have
a tantrum- -throwe1 in their midst

Just try to imagine how you would
feel if today some spokesman for
our Nation took you aside and said
Listen, we can't use you. Because
we're civilized, We'll keep you alive

it out of your head that you can
help in any way toward winning this

Well, fortunately our Nation ism

is the need for manpower today that
ways of using every employable per-
son are being earnestly studied by
The War Manpower Commission
And it seems, with little thought
and effort, almost every one can be

In the past a good many children
growing up blind, crippled and deaf
have, as they approached maturity,
read that dreaded ultimatum in
the very kindnesSes of their friends.
Don't worry, we'll look after you.
You don't have to work you'll
be taken care of by your family

If you are the mother of a crippled
child, or blind or deaf child. stop
being overprotective of him. Change
your tactics.
If you have a physically handi-
capped son or daughter approach

prepare to be a useful American.
Sit down today and write to the
Vocational Rehabilitation Service in
your State capital. The State Grip

you help. Your child can have a
review of his particular physical
handicap to see what further cor
rective help is necessary and to find
out what kind of job he is able to

We're most of us handicapped in

Among the many cures for hiccur
are frightening the patient, slapping
him suddenly on the back, pressing
eyeballs with fingers. trying to drink
water with a glass tipped away from
the mouth.
A more recent method is: An Or
dirary paper bag. medium size, is
placed over patients face and held
so that it tightly incloses the moutE
and nose. Patient is instructed tc
breathe into bag. Gradually oxygen
in bag is replaced by the carbon
dioxide from lungs. and in a few
minutes there is enough carbon diox-
ide in bag to stop hiccup.

There are any number of voice
exercises which may be tried to
develop voice placement, articula-
ton and pleasing diction. These
are definitely helpful and some
training in this art is of benefit to
every child to help him learn how
to use and modulate his voice. Ex-
ercises to timber and relax the Jaw
muscles and the throat are con-
ducive to better voice, and small
youngsters can stick out their
tongues to their hearts content in
front of a mirror while they exer-
else the muscles at the base of the
tongue.

your best voice. Teach them to
speak pleasantly and understand
the musical quality of various
