THANKS to Mrs. S. W., jr,
Greenbelt.)
Here are a few suggestions that
might help you with your problem: !:
First, see that the baby's mat
tress is not lumpy and feels as you
would want your own to feel under
your body. Then see that the sheet
is pulled tight so there are no wrin-
kles in it. that the room is well ven-
tilated. Pull the blinds down a bit
so the room Is semi-dark, wipe his
face with a cool cloth after you put
him to bed. Maybe if you put him
to bed half hour earlier he would
fall asleep a half hour earlier, after
he has had his exercise" When
you 60 into the room to put him
down, let him see that you mean
what you say, and don't tie him or
try to restrain his movements.
When you 60 to bed let him lie in
any position he happens to be in
if he is asleepi Babies are COM
Portable in any position they fall
asleep in. My girl would 60 to sleep
on her knees with her arms straight
out from her sides, but we let her
alone. She is two and still moves
around lot. She gets up during
the night and jumps up and down,
and then lies down and goes to sleep
again. Babies are 80 active that
they just can't be restrained until
they want to be!

FOR IDLE HOURS.
(Thdnks to Mr.. J. r. G.,
Wushtrotou

I'm q mere man, and, as such, not
supposed to stick my neck out on
the ladies page. However, have
noted that several of my ilk have
had the temerity to do so at one
time or another-and seem to have
lived to tell the tale. So, although
it's rather like attacking beach
head, I'll take my chances with the
rest!
There was q request the other day
for suggestions for keeping the
young out of mischief this summer
after the close Of school. My first
Recommendation would be, keep 'em
In 1 barrel and feed 'em through
the bung hole. As that, however,
doesn't appear quite practical in
these somewhat barrelless days, the
alternative would be to put them to
work. And for them and every one
concerned, working on q farm, or a
Victory garden, or even tending
lawns and back yards would be the
best choice In jobs.
Think of the older backs that
would thus remain unbroken-the
older hands that would be less
weathered and painful, the older
knees that would be spared! Young
sters don't mind the dirt, they love
1t, and getting down close to 1t is
no stress and strain for their bones
and muscles. Yes, keeping the yards
and gardens In shape and flourish
ing would be the ideal solution for
the out-of of-school-child problem.
Probably the Victory Garden Of
fee would be glad to take applica-
tions for such jobs-So let the line
start forming on the right!

STORAGE SPACE?
(ReQuested by Miss E. c. D.,
Wdshington)
Here's q funny one-and I'm al
most ashamed to ask it except it's
a very real problem to me. live
In a one-room and bath apartment
that has only one closet-and a tiny
one at that. But almost all of one
wall is a huge, modernistic window,
at which / had heavy draperies
from ceiling to floor, and lavish
enough to pull entirely across at
night.
sent these draperies while ago
to the cleaners, expecting them to
take all summer to do them or to
store them for me there. Much to
my dismay they finished them in
short order and sent them back,
saying they had no space to store
them for me. Goodness knows I
haven't any space at all and they
make a tremendous bundle. The
only spot where they might be kept
is under the bed-but they would
have to be refolded and wrapped
in some way to make them fiat
enough. What's the answer?

POT POURRI.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. E. J. W.,

| BerDyn, Md.
Published recipes for pot pourri
always call for so many special
ingredients that I never tried them
Then one year simply collected
petals of roses that were ready to
fall when shaken dried them in
the sun on shallow trays, sprinkled
well with salt and packed loosely
in jars. The result was not so
strong, or spicy as the usual va
riety, but it was far better than
nothing.

Here are few suggestions to
women with small babies. I use
the small glasses that cheeses come
in to store extra amounts Of baby

out odors, ETC., you shouldn't use
the food for the baby after two or
three days or 1t win upset his

I find that by soaking oranges
In hot water they are easier to
squeeze and also the orange Juice
is warm for baby. If you have trou-
BILE getting the baby to eat cereal

sweet, such as custard, ETC., added
will be enjoyed.
I have been very interested in
the discussion on time schedules.

Many of the people in this area
make their living by farming, or
selling fruits, nuts and wine (vine)
I've been into town several times
since my arrival in these parts.
From what I've seen there is very
little in the way of amusement ex-
cept for the movies. They have
two shows daily.
The children in town worry the
G. rs to death calling for cigar
cites. Everyone is either Joe" or
Johnny" to them. So far, cigar
cites are very scarce over here. We
are allowed only seven packages
weekly, one candy bar and one
package of gum. The natives GER
tainly do crave the American Gig

Dear Dribbles:
1 know it will be quite surprise
to you to receive this letter from
me because it's the first time I've
written to you since I've been in
the u. S. Army. That was a bit
over a year ago.
In the year that 1 have been in
the Service, I've seen much of the
United States. Some parts were
better than others. OF course, I'm
just like most of the Boys, think
my home is the best place in the
world. But, if we all stayed at
home we would never win this war.
Before forget it, I want you to
know that I really did appreciate
your Christmas card. 1 hope you
and the rest of the home town
folks spent a Merry Christmas.
This past year I spent Christmas
and my twentieth birthday on my
way overseas. I'll have to admit
that it wasn't such a pleasant holi-
day, but I'm sure We'll all have a
merrier Christmas this year.
So far have not seen much of
the country in which I am station
ed, but from the little that has
come before my eyes, it's really
beautiful. We have some trouble
with the native language, but man.

it would seem that it was the

liked the card at Christmas. AL
though, in your case it was birth
day and Christmas combined.
What a day, what a day, if you
were in a good position to cele-
brate both events at the same time.
Well, Dribbles hopes along with
you, that Christmas 1914 will be a
much happier one than was 1943.
The pressure is now being applied
to the Axis in many parts of the
world. BY the time it reaches its
full force, something is bound to
break-one hundred and thirty mil

Dear Dribbles:
Now that I'm getting settled
down again, I'm finding time to get
in touch with my many friends. So
far. I've enjowed my stay but af-
ter the newness wears off, I'm sure
Tn long for those days and nights
back in the ole home town.
Tn rather fortunate in being
able to have my own radio, and
maybe that doesn't boost morale.
Even when you're listening to
French music. We do receive some
recorded American programs, and
tho old to you perhaps, they're new
to us.

My work now, as Battalion mail
clerk, keeps me plenty busy, and
believe me, I'm the most popular
boy in camp when the mail arrives.
Working locally will seem like
snap, for a mail man in the Service
has quite a few problems. not
known to civilian postal employees.
The Red Cross is doing fine work
over here, and the U.S.O. too. Hats
off to both of these organizations.
Time for bed now. Wish all my
friends would write me, and be-
lieve me I'll answer every one.
One of the boys,
George
