ed a little instruction. In addition
to showing him how to battle the
baby, these are some Of the things
the nurse told him to do in order
to protect the baby from infec-
ton:
/. Keep a clean coverall apron
handy to slip into before you pick
up the baby, because your clothes,
worn in public, may carry germs.
O. Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and water and clean your
fingernai1s with toothpick before
you touch the baby.
3. Always wash your hands with
soap and water after you change the
baby's diaper, before you do any,
thing else for him.
4. Always wash your hands with
soap and water before you fix the
babys water bottle, or give him to
his mother to nurse.
S. If you have the slightest sign
Of cold or cough, before you do
anything for the baby, cover your
nose and mouth with clean hand
kerchief, folded cornerwise and tied
at the back Of your head.
6. Be very careful to keep the
cord dressing on the babys UNI
bilious dry and clean. This can
usually be done If the baby's shirt
and diaper are kept clean and dry
also.
Z. Do not allow the baby to be
kissed on the mouth or face by any
one, and do not let anyone who has
a cold or illness Of any kind into
his room.

important to be a good mother.
SO they got busy being othel
things, at the expense of being
good mothers. They ran arounc
in circles being club women
They wasted away their time try
ing to stay eternally young. They
tried to out-do each other at being
charming hostesses and making
their homes the proper back
ground fir entertaining. Or they
concentrated on careers.
Then came the war and they
switched their interests to volun-
teer war work, or took on wal
Jobs. And their children suffered
from neglect, even though they
weren't under privileged" &C
cording to the welfare workers use
OF the word. Their homes had bath
rooms; they had enough to eat;
and they had proper clothes.
LOSE INTEREST
But they didn't have mothers
who thought the job of mother
hood their most important job.
Once upon a time you couldn't
give q woman higher praise than
to say she was a fine mother
But when women discovered
that being a good mother wasn't
enough, they lost interest in being
considered good mothers.
In fact you almost never hear
Che phrase today, unless 1t is
spoken somewhat condescendingly
BY a really successful woman, one
who excelS, say. at the important
business of entertaining, or who
has an enviable career, or who is
q we'll known club woman.
i Could all this have anything
TO do with today's juvenile del
,1nquency problem? The time
element is just about right, isn't
It?
