First Aid in Miniature
Teach Youngsters to Care for Minor Cuts and Bruises
By Helping Them to Play Doctor This Summer

All small children love to play
nurse or doctor. And at the pres
ent time, when they hear so much
of first aid, aid to the injured and
keeping in good physical condition,
a wise mother may utilize these in
terests to help them learn to take
care of themselves.
Let them help Ak up doctors
box" with the necessary things for
minor first-aid treatment and then
instruct them how to use these. A
trip to the five and ten for small
packages Of the necessary things
will be both interesting and instruc-
tive. Cotton, bandage and similar
things are too valuable to be wasted
these days. Large packages of these
will be handled and ruined for prac-
tical purposes, so invest in small
containers or keep the miniature
containers refllled from bottles and
packages out Of the reach Of the
small fry.
1t goes without saying that any
supplies in this kit should be non
poisonous. Antiseptics should be
both harmless and of type that
does not sting or burn. Peroxide
is good for washing cuts. Children
like to see it boil" There are
others which do not hurt and are
highly effective germicides. A small
roll of sterile cotton, narrow and
wider bandage should be included.
Put in a tube OF an unguent for use
in small burns or scraped shinS, zinc
ointment for rashes and calomine
lotion for bites and poison ivy.
Paste in the top of the doctors
box brief instructions for treatment
of minor cuts and bruises. Then in
the first two weeks, whenever a cut
finger or q bruised knee provides
practical opportunity. give each
child in the house chance to play
doctor. You might even have
weekly quizzes OH first aid for very
flrst-aiders, With small awards for
all who qualify.
When sun baths are in order, in
struct the young 'uns about sun
safety. Let them understand that
half an hour of play in the sun the
first day is plenty. Teach them to
oil up with cocoa butter or some
other preparation for the first week
to get a good tan without time lost
with painful sunburn.
On the first trip to the swimming
pool, teach them to look before they

Children Benefit
By Experience
At Camps
Bv Leftice Lee Street,

BY LefHce Lee OfreeH
Summer camps nowadays are re-
earded by foremost educators as an
ideal and integral part of the edu-
cation of the young.
That is a rather sweeping state
ment and, to my mind, the decision
that parents make as to whether or
not their child is to attend camp
depends entirely upon the individual
case-it is mistake to auto
cratically say-"all children should
go to camp" This may be tempered
instead with the sound belief that
most children are helped by the ex-
perience of summer camp and that
many times parents are faulty in
judgment when they think young
child should not leave them even
for a few weeks N the summer.
Even though this may prick your
maternal vanity, the fact is that
children are often notably helped
by being removed from their home
environments for short periods of
time if they are placed in harmon
ious surroundings during their alb
sence from their families. Most
honest mothers will ruefully admit
that their small fry showed changes
for the better after having been
away from home for several weeks
or months in schools or camps
where the youngsters are. properly
supervised and trained.
Families who find they are
obliged to remain in towns and cit
les during the hot months should
seriously consider the possibilities
of sending their children away to
camps-even youngsters as young
as 6 and 7 will thrive and have
the times of their lives in camps
that are designed expressly for
members Of this very young gener-
alton. There is no question about
it-children look better and feel
better If they can have long hours
of outdoor play in good climate
at some time during the summer.
Camp life is indeed a paradise to
most young sprouts-a Utopia in
which they happily learn many in
valuable lessons in fair play, sports
manship, honesty, reliability and
self-reliance. Besides these, many
more desirable character traits are
encouraged and taught as we'll as
the physical skills that include ath-
letic and creative abilities.
Evening star., 1943-06-28

teach them to wash thoroughly four
or five times with plenty Of soap and
to start with the calomine lotion
the minute a rash appears.
If they play in sthe grass or
underbrush, teach them to look for
ticks and chiggers. Chigger bites
may be lessened by washing the
legs with kerosene and then with
soap and water. Ticks must be dis
covered and picked off bodily with
tweezers. They like to settle down
at the back of the neck just at the
hair line, in back of ears or a fold
of the skin. Disinfect the spot i'm
mediately. Best of all, keep the
tick in a jar with tight lid, for
Identification in case a fever de-
velops, and there is chance that
tick fever might ensue.
Most important of all, have your
doctors telephone number written
where the children can find It.
Teach them that this home treat
ment is for first-aid care only and
that anything serious must have the
grownups' and the doctors atten-
ton.
Learning to take care Of them
selves intelligently will save many q
bad infection or hospital care. Teach
them the value of action rather
than tears, the importance of a
clean wound and a sterile bandage,
and you will do much to train them
for safety at home and also be
doing your share to relieve over
worked doctors and hospital stats
this summer.

Jeudi Club Dimes
Armenian Menu Proves Little Meat
Can Be Made to Go a Long Way
As Reborfed BY Arthur Fl. Deufe

What with rationing and all, the
Club de Jeudi. meeting Thursday
nights, with the male members Of
the four couples acting as chefs, has
come to be regarded as the source of
new trends in dinner party giving.
And so it was not surprising to
run, last Thursday night, into an
Armenian" dinner which would
have done credit to any gourmet's
banquet.
Two principal ideas got the Ar
menian dinner under way. The first
one is that it seems the Armenians
can make little meat go long way
The second idea is that in an attic
storeroom one Of the members of the
club found a dozen old-time skew
ers, probably purchased from a ma
tive Of Asia Minor. These skewers
are merely rods about IL inches long
and made from fiat steel, about a
quarter of an inch wide, pointed at
one end.
Thus supplied, the next step
evolved the menu:
Armenian Rice and Tomato Soup
Pttladjan ShtSh Kebdb
Stuffed Eggplant
Fruit Compete
TO make rice soup in the Ar
menian manner, have ready 10 cups
of chicken broth or lamb broth (use
boullion cubes if you like While
heating the broth, wash thoroughly
using the hands to rub it well, halt
a cup of rice and add to the broth
Now add eight large ripe tomatoes
peeled, chopped and seeds removed
Season with salt and pepper anc
cook in covered soup kettle until
rice is tender. Last of all stir ir
two or three tablespoons of chopped
parsley. This makes eight nice
cups.
Shish kebab is to the Armenians
what corn beef and cabbage i:
supposed to be to the Irish. i
means pieces of meat, usually lamt
or mutton, but any kind is good
cut into the size of walnuts anC
strung on the skeWers. In between
each bit of meat place a piece OF
eggplant, cut the same size. The
Armenians broil the meat and egg.
plant OVER wood fire, but placing
under a broiler will do as we'll.
pound of meat will do, but if yol
can find two pounds for eight serv.
ings, that will be generous. Ar
menians can do much with little
meat. We can, too.
Now we make the sauce: In s
sauce pan melt a tablespoonful o.
butter or margarine, and add to i
cup of chicken or lamb broth
same as was used for the soup. Tt
this add a quarter Of a cup O.
chopped onion, same amount o
chopped green pepper and one larg'
ripe tomato or half a cup of canned
tomato. Season with salt ant
pepper and cook until vegetable
are tender. BY this time, the broil
ing is finished Place the broilet
shish kebabs on large platter. Pou
the sauce over it and serve. Eacl
guest removes his meat and egg
plant from his skewer as he make
his way along its full length.
Evening star., 1943-06-28

Some Armenians forego the sauce
and serve a mixed green salad in
stead. AmericaniZed Armenians are
apt to serve small Drowned potatoes
as an added attraction
Armenians make many interesting
dishes from eggplant but here is
one Of the best: For eight servings,
select three large and perfect egg
plants. Peel and then slice length
wise into half-inch slices. Fry
quickly in hot olive oil until each
side is lightly browned-but do not
let them get soft or mushy Have
ready, at this time, the stuffing
material and spread each slice gen.
erously with stuffing. then build the
slices back into their original egg
plant shapes, pinning together with
bits of wood such as are used to
hold lollypops. Now place in a
baking dish, pour over each egg
plant some of the oil in which they
were fried and bake in a moderate
oven about half an hour, or until
tender.
Here is the way to make the
stuffng: Mash a nubbin of garlic
and chop fine three-quarters of a
cup of onion. Mix this with half a
pound of raw hamburger, two cups
of soft bread crumbs, one teaspoon
OF cinnamon, three tablespoons of
chopped parsley, salt and pepper
and last of all moisten with three
well-beaten eggs. Mix all this thor
oughly before spreading it on the
slices of eggplant.
II you think that running too
close to true Armenian menu in
wolves the use Of too much eggplant,
Americanize your version by sub
Stltuting mushrooms or onions with
the meat on the skewers You can
also omit the hamburger in the
mushroom stufhng if your ration
book indicates such a step is neces-
sary. Or you can replace the whole
dish Of stuffed eggplant with a raw
or cooked vegetable salad However,
to give the dinner a really exotic
flavor, in keeping with its national
ity, the more eggplant the merrier!
Fruit compete may include any
cooked fruits which one fancies, but
"mustS" include some pears, cher
ries, apricots and, for each serving,
a good steWed plum. See to it that
they are well chilled before serving.

PEACHES.

Raw peaches need but a slight
sprinkling of sugar or dab of any
jelly into the center of each half
when pit is removed.
A really company dessert! Save
orange skins from breakfast. Wash
and wipe thoroughly and bring them
to boil in saucepan with about 3
cups of water. Add 2 cloves to 4
orange skin halves, if you like a
pungent stimulating flavor. Boil
about minutes, turn off the heat
and leave as is until wanted. The
longer the better. This helps to
draw out the flavor.
Peel and cut peaches into slices

SUMMERTIME HINT.
(ThGnkS to Miss E. T., BetheSdd.)
A short time ago you published a
very interesting latter from reader
giving suggestions on coping with
Washington summers. I've only
been here a few months, SO this is
my first experience Of the famous
temperatureS-but already I've
learned trick that really helps a
lot. That is, when I get up in the
morning, I get bowl of ice cubes
from the refrigerator and stick my
bottle Of face tonic or astringent in
the bowl, while I am bathing and
before make up my face. You can't
imagine how much more refreshing
the tonic Is when applied after this
session in the ice. Makes me feel
peppier right away!

The fact, Mrs. S. F. c., Arlington,
that you cannot spread the rasp-

cooked it, but that your sugar con-
tent is too high for the liquid or
