Successful Parenthood

RESEARCH PROGRESS IN
PARENTHOOD

There is a vast amount of fascl-
mating research going on in the field
of parent education. There have, for
example, been studies at both Yale
and Harvard on how bodily type af-
fects temperament and disposition.
Yale has also just completed study,
begun 80 years ago, which proved
that the children of alcoholics, II
placed in acceptable foster homes,
were no more apt to grow up into
alcoholics than the children OF ab-
steminus parents. Other words, an
unhappy home environment is more
responsible for alcoholism than an
inherited fondness for strong drink.
These are but two of hundreds OF
scientific surveys of human beings
and family life made at universities
and in local communities under par
ent education leaders. But how to
make them available to the whole
country has been a problem especial
ly during the war years. To help
coordinate and distribute this price
less knowledge a Parent Education
Clearinghouse has been established
by the publishers of Parents maga-
zine.
The Clearing House will create a
file of what is being done-and by
whom-in the field of parent educa-
ton throughout the United States,
to be published from time to time
and to be kept up to date. In addi-
ton, the Clearing House will publish
mimeographed Parent Education
News Bulletin which will carry notes
on significant parent education ac-
tivity from all parts of the country
and abroad. The Bulletin will also
include photographers of current
books, pamphlets, magazine articles,
and study materials. The more i'm
portant articles and books will ap-
pear in the Bulletin in digest FORM
Miss Ruth Malay, former editor OF
the Bulletin of the National Council
of Parent Education, is Director Of
the Clearing House.
One of the most practical aims Of
the Clearing House is to help local
groups with suggestions for pro-
grams and personnel and to keep
them informed of group activities
throughout the country.
A Parent Education conference will
be held from May 2 to 4, 1916, at
Atlantic City, New Jersey. The con-
ference will bring to the lay and pro-
fessional organizations attending, the
guidance of recognized leaders in the
field. Well have more to tell you
about this later on for it promises to
be an exciting gathering, bringing
together the worlds best thinking
on how to educate and rear children
for their responsibilities in future
their parents can't even imagine. Lo-
cal teachers and group leaders who
are interested should write the Par
ent Education Clearing House, So
Vanderbilt Avenue, New York II,

th-Douglass Must
Mark All Fertilizer
With Yellow Tags

Raleigh, Jan. 10-The State Board
of Agriculture has directed the
Smith-Douglass Fertilizer Company
of Norfolk, Va, to put yellow tag
on all fertilizer sold in North Caro-
lima and containing more than 8 per
cent chlorine.
The rule, allowing increased chic
rine content, is effective only for the
1916 growing season. and directs that
it be applied only to tobacco fertilIz-
ers. Other fertilizer companies may
sell the same per cent chlorine fer
tilizer, but also must use yellow
tags.
Ralph Douglass. vice-president OF
Smith-Douglass, said his company
would not contest the Board of Agri-
cultures ruling. as long as it did not
direct that red tags be used. Red
tags are normally used on low-qual-
ity fertilizer.
The fertilizer to bear yellow tags,
also will carry the information that
the fertilizer does not comply with
recommendation of the North Caro-
lima Experiment Station, and that it
produces tobacco with a none-too-
good burning quality.

Food Plight Of
Europe Deepens

London, Jan. 10 - In spite of all
the United Nations Relief and Re
habilitation Administration is doing
and proposing to do, it is still un-
certain whether starvation and pesti-
lence will be averted in Europe this
winter.
As cold winter winds begin to
sweep over Europe from the frozen
north the full extent of Europe's ma
terial distress with possible pockets
of actual starvation is beginning to
emerge in stark outlines.
Announcement by UNRRA Direc-
tor Herbert H. Lehman in Washing
ton during the last few days of the
sudden deterioration of the wheat
supply will be sad blow to coun-
tries like Yugoslavia, Italy and
Greece, where a quarter to half of
the population is being kept alive
this winter on UNRRA grain.
Mr.. Lehman blamed the internal
transport difficulties of getting
wheat from the United States, Aus
tralia, Canada, and the Argentine
for the slump. Reports also come
from the Argentine of the current
wheat and rye crop failure due to
drought and locusts. The Argentine,
reports say, will have no wheat to
spare for export to Europe from its
crop.
Translated to the villages in the
starvation area of Bosnia and Gro
alta, failure of wheat and rye to ar
rive from overseas means that peo-
pie will be reduced to eating roots.
There are starving regions in Eu-
rope UNRRA does not pretent to
reach like Hungary and German 81
lesia, and still others like Byelo Rus
sia and the Ukraine where UNRRA
aids an admittedly "infinitesimal pro-
portion of the needy" to quote Mr..
Lehman.

Wage Farmers To Get Small Pay Raise;
Big Business A Windfall In Tax Cuts

Wage earners got small pay
raise" and big business a wlndfall
in new tax cut that became ettec-
tive on January l.
Under the $500, 100000 tax re-
duction bill passed in November both
big and little taxpayers benefit and
about 100000 people with very
low incomes stop paying any taxes.
The tax collector will claim a
smaller chunk of the incomes of the
$4,000 900 to 3S,OO0,000 individuals
left on the tax rolls. So extra dol
lars will start appearing in pay
checks received after New Years
day-even though the pay is for time
worked in 1945.
For example, under the reduced
tax rates a man with no dependents
who makes $50 week has had $S.Zo
withheld for taxes. This weekly de-
duction will drop to $3.50.
Persons in higher wage brackets
and those not subject to withholding
will feel the differences when they
file estimates of their 1916 taxes and
make their first quarterly payments
which are due March 10.
The new law, first general tax
cutting measure passed by Congress
in 16 years, is designed to reduce
taxes of individuals by 1854, 900, 600.
Repeal of the automobile and boat
use taxes in June will add another
S14O,000,000 of relief.
At the same time lower corpora
ton tax rates and repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax are expected to re-
duce business taxes by 3,l36,OOO, 900.
The excess profits tax, which ex-
pired at midnight Monday, was I'M
posed before Pearl Harbor and by
1943 had risen to a flat rate of 99
per cent. More than $2S,OOO,OOO,OOO
has been collected through it.
1t was imposed to prevent busi-
ness from getting rich out of the
war and applied only to corporation
earnings above normal" as comput-
ed on 1868 average. The cor
porations revert now to paying only
the regular corporation tax of SO per
cent. Thus, industry can keep a
much bigger slice of its profits.
The Treasury Tuesday also started
paying out S1,112,000,OO0 in excess
profits refunds by redeeming non
interest, non-negotiable bonds. And
this represents only a part of the
total to be refunded.

HOUSE AND HOME
By MARY E. DAGUE


After the holidays we are more
than likely to find stains on table
tops and table linens, so let's lay IN
a supply of stain removing agents
and get things back to good condi-
tion.
Glycerine is one of the most effec-
tive stain removers for beverages
tea, coffee, chocolate and even beer.
To remove coffee and chocolate
spots apply glycerine to the stain
with a small sponge, let it stand 4
few minutes and then wash as usual.
Tea stains respond best to slight
" different treatment. Stretch the
stained cloth over bowl, pour gly-
cerine on the marked area and
rub in. Let stand for 80 minutes and
then wash as usual.
Beer stains are removed by soak
ing in equal parts of ammonium
chloride, alcohol and glycerine COM
bined with water to equal the amount
of the first three ingredients. If the
stain is on upholstery, sponge the
spot with the preparation and then
rinse in clear water by sponging.
Fruit stains that have dried in or
have a sugar base should be soaked
in glycerine for several hours. Then
pour boiling water through the stain
just as if the stain were fresh.
Stained marble can be cleaned by
using a mixture of sodium citrate
crystals, glycerine, whiting and wa
ter. To solution of one part sodium
citrate crystals in six parts water,
add an equal amount of glycerine.
Mix thoroughly. Then add enough
whiting to this mixture or add the
mixture to whiting, to make thick
paste that will cover the spots with
a layer about one-fourth inch in
thickness. Leave the paste On until
it dries. Then replace with a new
layer or moisten by adding more of
the solution. Repeat as often as nee
essary until stains are no longer no.
ticeable.
Small rugs in bathroom and kitch-
en- have a way of kicking up after
they are washed. If you dip them
in starch and dry them flat on a
clean floor they acquire an appre-
ciable amount of body that keeps
them where they belong. Also they
will wear better and require less
laundering.
With cold weather, moisture is apt
to form on the window panes. Their
it condenses and runs down onto the
window frame and sill, spelling var
nish and loosening paint. A coating
of floor or furniture wax will pro.
tect the finish and keep the window
frames and sills looking like new
This coating of wax makes for easier
cleaning, too.
The color of flower and leaf o1
houseplants is improved if the plants
are watered with a weak SCOT water
Also, instead of emptying ash trays
in the fireplace, throw the Leftover
tobacco into water. This solutior
used for watering houseplants keep;

Oren Sterling, president of the Ha-
gerstoWn Baseball Club, phoned me
on Tuesday morning to tell me that
he had just received word from the
Detroit Tigers office that the terms
for a working agreement between
the HagerstoWn Club and Detroit
had been accepted, thus assuring the
"Owls" plenty of material for next
year. Mr.. Sterling said that he had
contacted Bunny" Griffith, manager
of the Owls, who is out on the West
Coast attending the Minor League
meeting, instructing him to imme-
diately contact the Detroit repre-
sentative at the meeting, so that they
may begin making plans for next
season
With the agreement with the Ha-
gerstown club completed, Detroit
now has a well-rounded out farm
system, consisting of: jamestown, in
the class D Pony League; Rome, in
the class G Canadian-American
League; HagerstoWn, in the class B
Interstate League; Williamsport in
the class A Eastern eague, and Buff
falo, in the class AA International

League.
With such a farm system, it is
reasonable to expect that the Owls
will get plenty of help and, unless
miss my guess, the Hagerstown
club will be better balanced team
in 1947 than they were at any time
in 1916.
Players who are owned by the
Hagerstown club include: Catchers
Crumling and Jackson, outfielder
Matarazzo, and pitchers Minogue,
Stratton, Curtis and Grimes.
Sterling also said that he had sew
eral strings out for good, expert
enced business manager for the club,
but that there was nothing definite
to report at this time.
The news that the agreement with
Detroit has been definitely made
should be good news for all local
baseball fans, particularly since De-
troit will have so many other farm
clubs, but more particularly since
it will enable Detroit to send PLAYERS
to HagerstoWn in time for spring
training, thus giving Griffith plenty
of time to look them over.
