What is the fighting word in your
house?
In practically every family circle
there is some subject which is ta-
boo and which cannot even be men,
toned without precipitating scrap
and from which the participants
emerge battered and bruised and
suffering from wounds to their af
fections and self-esteem from which
they often never recover.
What is the fighting word in your
house? Is it: John, will you leave
me some money? I'm going shop
ping. And here's the bill for having
little Johnny's adenoids taken out.
And Mary has just simply got to
have some new shoes" Since
Providence did not see fit to arrange
for people to grow their own fine
feathers, or send down mamma from
Heaven for their sustenance, it is
obvious to even the meanest intel
lect that it takes money to support
a family and you would think that
in time married men would get
hardened to the daily holdup.
However, such is seldom the case.
The financial problem is just as
good for a row in the home as it is
in Congress, and there are thou
sands of wives who practically take
their lives in their hands every time
they buy a new dress or a hat that
costs over IS. 1t is husbands ac-
cusing wives of being spendthrifts
and wives calling their husbands
tightwads that paves the way to the
divorce court.
Is it: Did mean old papa slap
mothers precious darling just be-
cause she broke his horrid, smelly
old pipe? Why parents can never
agree on when their children should

co POSTMASTER-"What can

ounces-and very special?" runs a
question we've heard often this past
week or SO from those who let the
mailing deadline slip by. As though
any of you really needs to ask! We
all know the incest present for any
body to give anybody else anywhere
this Christmas is still War Bond
which can be very special or very,
very special depending on you
know-what. The average service
man overseas, worrying about his
spot in the postwar world, would
welcome this as a tiny piece Of

the mysteries of the world But the
reason there are so many bratS is
because father and mother are Sc

youngsters they let them get away
with murder.
Is it: Mother says so-and-so,
and father thinks that you should
do this and that The in-laws are
dynamite that can be guaranteed
to blow up even the most peaceful
family circle. They can always be
dragged into any quarrel to make it
hot and peppy. And only those who
are looking for trouble and are
trying to start something should
ever quote mothers or father s
opinion even Of the weather.
Is 1t: My heaven! Do you call
this coffee? Why can't you learn to
cook like mother does?" No hus-
band can say this to his wife and
expect her to take it lying down.
Yet thousands of reckless men dare

the boy probably knows he can ge

l f1nd many problems are SOLVED

This also helps some employed

Thanks to Mrs. E. w, Washington.
Having encountered your problem
with both my children, maybe I car
help you.
First of all, don't be too alarmed
over it. My doctor advised us that
If they don't bump" they twist
their hair, suck their thumbs or dc
something equally annoying.
The cure is slow. The first thing
did was to tie small pillows al
the head and foot of the crib ano
used rubber caster cups to prevent
the crib from skidding all over the
room. A child loves noise! When
they discovered the bang" was
gone, the humping became very
gentle, but persisted, nonetheless
When they sat in an arm chair
they used to bump back and
forth. This I cured, in time, by
saying You can't sit there, il
you're going to bump" A small
rocking chair seemed to satisfy the
urge very well. However, whenever
we went off in the car, they'd both
sit in the back seat and bump" in
uniSon
Frankly, they were nearly years
old before they quit! I was living
in New York at the time and the
doctor there thought it was a ner-
vous tension. My second child de-
veloped the habit and technique I'm
sure, by copying from his sister
He stopped the first and his sister
is still rather nervous child and
highly strung.
Discourage the habit as much as
possible and I'd advise padding the
crib. I used to wonder if my two
would be all right in the head
when they grew up! Also, I feared
mine were the only ones who'd ever
done this. Six years later, a niece
