from Mrs. E. M. j., Washington. J
The United States Department of
Agriculture leafet No. 149 on sill
verfiSh and fire-brats states that an
inexpensive and effective POISON
GUS bait may be made as follows
Oatmeal ground to four, 100
parts by weight or 134 cupfuls.
White arsenic, 8 parts by weight or
Il teaspoonful. Granulated sugar,
parts by weight or y teaspoonful
Salt, 212 parts by weight or Il tea
spoonful.
Mix together. then moisten the
mass thoroughly to bind the sub
stances together. Then thoroughly
dry the bait to prevent mold. Then
grind it into small bits so that it
can be scattered easily. Sodium
f1uoride powder can be substituted
for the white arsenic but do not add
moisture.
This formula is enough to treat
several houses. Place about a tea
spoonful in each of several shallow
cardboard boxes, such as necktie
boxes. and place them near the
haunts of the silverfish and cover
each box loosely with a crumpled
sheet of paper.
Keep unused bait in clearly lab

The Young Idea
By Betty Niles

What we are as grown people
the way we walk, the way we laugh
and how much, the people we enjoy,
how We feel about tackling new
things or going to new places
all these things have their roots
away back in childhood" according
to Your Child, From to g." the
latest bulletin of the Children s
Bureau, literally rolling off the
presses as this is being written.
The bulletin points out that along
with blocks and dolls and miniature
airplaneS, parents are constantly,
consciously or unconsciously, giving
other things to their children-at-
titudeS, ideas, outlookS, inhibitionS,
fears. So much, the authorities tell
us, depends not on WHAT you do,
but on HOW you do it. Not rules,
but the attitudes and personalities
of the parents. their emotional ma
turity, are the important elements.
This bulletin emphasizes the how
of raising children, the child's emo
tional needs, his relationships to
others in the family, the extent to
which the family can equip child
with a sense of security, self-reli-
ance and self confidence.
Many chapters, dealing with
learning emotional control, learning
affection and love, the growth of
personality, how families are diff
ferent, and children's questions. are
devoted to covering the child as a
person. We wish we had space to
review thoroughly this bulletin
actually bulletin" is deceiving,
since it contains l40 pages packed
with information. 1t has a good
deal to say about good many
subjects.
1t discusses fear: IF the adult
is continuously disturbed and un-
happy he may expect his child to
feel the tension and to react in
some way any way in which
the tension may be released" i.
Parents are sometimes the cause
of a kind of fear that they would
be the last to bring about if they
were conscious of what they were
doing. This is a fear caused by
their ambition for their child to
shine" Confidence in ones own
good judgment can grow only in an
atmosphere free from overmuch
concern about criticism.
1t discusses anger: "If parents
could only train themselves not to

Cooling System
BY Evelyn Hayes

If you can spend the next couple
of months sitting in tub of ice,
skip this story. You'll be better off
than any of us. However, If keep
ing reasonably cool and decorative
in the face of beauty-wilting hu-
midity is one of your problems, this
may help. The first two rules for
keeping cool are to drink plenty
of water Ito replace what your
body loses in hot day through
perspiration) and to wear loose,
comfortable, porous clothes. This
season the bare-arm, bareback
fashions offer wonderful cooling
systems. However, they bare a
woman's weakest beauty spots-her
arms and hands. To set of these
new cool fashions and to have
them do the most for you, arms
should be soft and lovely. To that
end one of Americas beauty ex-
perts has evolved special seven
point treatment for arms, elbows
and hands. This treatment, given
at a local salon, starts with a
thorough deep pore cleansing with
SDeCldl tllAlI WlIACAl 10 a AALAAN
bleach. Amounting with oil and
lubricating cream-with special en-
phasis on roughened elboWs-pre-
cedes application of thin film
of a cucumber emulsion designed
to even the skin tone as it lightens
it. After excess cream is removed,
hands and arms are washed well
and then sponged with cooling skin
freshener. Finally you're patted
dry and liquid powder is applied in
a shade to blend with your skin tone.
Result: Soft, smooth hands and
arms that can bear barring.
OF course, every cooling system
calls for a daily bath or shower
and more if you can spare the
time. Gently but firmly is sum-
mer's rule for Scrubbing and-th
pat yourself dry so as not to in
crease your circulation. AS fin
ishing touch pamper your skin with
a cooling soothing emulsion that
will help satinize winter-neglected
skin-a fine daily follow-up to the
professional treatment. At the very
least you should concentrate on the
three-point bette noir of any wom-
ans beauty: /, throat; 2, elbows;
I3, backs of the ankles.
After you are dry and before you
dress, check your daintinesS. Re-

half the battle of feeling
cool these days is looking cool, and
you can't do that unless you're al
ways daintily dry. You'll probably
find liquids effective and one in
particular is both an antiperspirant
and deodorant which means that "
will help check both moisture and
odor from one to three days. This
should be as much a part Of your
daily routine as bathing and brush
ing your teeth.
While you are waiting for the
deodorant to dry, you can fix your
face. In the dog days this usually
involves keeping one pace ahead of
the moisture which clouds you and
the bathroom mirror at one ar.e the
same time. A good trick to outYit
this humidity is to pat your faCe
with ice (held in your face cloth)
until it feels cool and firm. Then
pat gently dry and proceed with the
makeup. And the less the better on
that! You'll probably enjoy liquid
makeup that doubles for founda-
ton and powder. Simply finger-pat
it over your face and watch it give
your skin lovely smooth mat fin
ish. Apply it correctly and no one
would ever guess you had skipped
It's an emollient liquid
that won't dry your skin and will
stay put for hours achieving an un-
painted deWy-freSh look. In colors
that enhance sunglow, it's a good
bet for tWixt-season quick change.
For final pleasantly refrigerat-
ing touch, slather yourself with
pleasant cooling cologne. BY keep
ing a bottle on ice you can assure
the proper degree of coolth. Qnci-
dentally, postwar bathrooms should
have small refrigerators, according
to our deSigns.) And to be pleasant
in the upper Fahrenheit days, the
scent should be as light and fra
grant as a breeze waited over a
summer garden. One of our favor
ties is a cologne which has cap
tured the delightfully."- spicy scent of
summers white phlox. There are
also matching satin sachets-packed
in three's-to keep your clothes
subtly scented. The twosome will
surround you with an elusive air of
feminine freshness suggesting the
cool sweetness of summer garden
in bloom.
BY the way, where are those peo-
pie who were complaining not too
long ago, Wont it ever get warm?"

be shocked when their young chill
dren express their anger by saying
I hate you!' or by calling them
names, they would improve their
relations with their children"
1t discusses nine qualities listed
for a family life that earns child'S
respect for his parents. Among
these nine qualities are: Respect
of the parents for each others
opinions; truly self-reliant out
look on life; treatment of the child
with respect as an individual; skills
or, traits in each family member
that the others are proud of; recog-
milton of lasting values rather than
desire for excitement and amuse-
ment
1t discusses the difficult questions
fred at parents by children: What
children really want is to feel that
their parents can be relied on. If
the father and mother never let
them down by silencing them or
telling them they are too young to
know or making them feel ashamed
of having asked, they will continue
to think of their parents as the
natural source of information.
An earlier version of this bulletin
had circulation Of one-quarter of
a million copies annually. 1t stressed

ton about diet, health, habit train
ing and so on found in the earlier
version is also very vital part of
the new edition. The book has been
compiled and reviewed by experts in
child care-physicians, child psy-
biologists, nutritionists-and shaped
to the mold of the best that is
known about raising children in the
formative preschool years.

basement near a window where 1t
gets sunlight, always keep it watered
and pick off all dry leaves. When all
danger of frost is over We put it out
in the yard, leaving it in the con-
tainer. If necessary, give your plant
new dirt, also be able to give it sew
eral plant food tablets. Just put
them in the earth around the plant
These tablets can be bought at any
drug or hardware store. Put your
plant where it gets early morning
sun. but later has shade when the
sun is hot. Keep it watered; if
ground gets dry, leaves droop. At
present my plant is lovely, the leaves
are beautiful, rich glossy green. IT.

TOURING WITH BABY.
from Mrs. L. NJ. ~, Washington
My husband, daughter, az, and

think there must be many people
who have made such trips with .
children. We would deeply appre-
ciate 1t if people who have made
such long trips with children would
give US the benefit of their expert
ence. We have thought to make a
level play area in the back seat by
means of pads and luggage, but
there are other questions, such as
are there any foods which can be
packed in the evening before, which
might eliminate, for instance, the
midday stop? What kinds of
clothing are easiest to keep clean?
She is used to sleeping in a crib;
what does one do about the sleeping
problem, in case there are no cribs
to be had in the tourist camp or
hotel where We stay? If there are
any helpful ideas forthcoming from
the other readers, l am sure it
would make the trip much more en-
joyable for us all. Many thanks.
