Loborife Sees
Inside Spain

LONDON, Aug. 26 (LPA) -
Francis Noel-Baker, 26-year-old
son of the British minister of
state, last week reported on the
results of ten day trip incog-
nito through Spain. Young Noel
Baker is Labor member Of
Parliament. He said that in San
Sebastian, where Franco was,
1T was not pleasant, for the
place was thick with police and
troops"
He reported considerable dis
unity among supporters of die
tator Franco, but added that
"The Republican leaders have
to proceed with great caution.
Friends of the people conducting
me were arrested while I was
there and beaten up. One man
died of the ill-treatment he re-
ceived." " Noel-Baker consulted
with all anti-Franco groups ex-
cept the Communists. He is ex-
pected to give a further report
to the group of members of
Parliament which he heads who
want to restore the Spanish
Republic.

DeconfroI Board
Hit BY Criticism

WASHINGTON, Aug 26 -
(LPA) - The Price DecontroI
Board last week had to take the
rap for Congress, as criticisms
began to pour in because of its
decision to keep dairy products
out from under price control.
Milk, butter, cheese, ice
cream and other dairy products
will remain uncontrolled by
OPA ceilings as a result of the
action. Milk prices have gone up
two to three cents quart, and
in many cases are a half-cent a
quart higher than might be war.
ranted because o fsubsidy re.
movals. Butter rose three to
four cents a pound wholesale
during last week alone.
The Decontrol Board admit.
ted that there were "some in.
stances" in which prices had
gone up unreasonably, but that
there was not enough evidence
to merit recontrol.
The Board was placed on the
spot because Congress set up
three standards which had to be
met before the Board could or
der recontrol of dairy products;
scarcity of supply; unreasonable
price rises since June 30; regu-
lation is practicable, enforceable
and in the public interest. Dairy

BeIgion Strikes Grow

Last week 10000 Belgian

solution of the so-called labor
problem. Social justice demands
that organized labor and organ
lied management come together
in an occupational group system
--an organized system of CO.
operation for the solution of all
of the major problems of eco

1t is necessary to add that IN
the absence of an occupational
group system the government
has the moral responsibility to
do whatever it can by direct leg

establish the rule of social JUS

Patients in Singspore's Cen

other day with some rather
curious attendants - short-term
prisoners from the local prison.
When Chinese and Indian hos
pital ward attendants struck for
higher wages and for better
treatment - one of their de-
mands was that they should no

the hospital asked for volun-

When not enough volunteers

This week starts the fall parade
of holidays-Halloween-with all
its traditional hilarity, pranks, and
hi-iinks. It's a good time for party
giving-a fine solution for keeping
q watchful eye over the young fry.
Do you remember the grand old
parades we used to have over on
Constitution avenue? In the gay
colored floats, bands, music, the air
full of confetti, people in weird cos
tunes, noise makers-every one in a
fine carnival mood. They were great
fun for every one, young and old.
Whether you're giving a party or
not this Halloween you will still
need to be prepared for those callers
who come round crying tricks or
treats" Apples, nuts, doughnuts,
popcorn, pumpkins all symbolic
this special occasion. And good
popcorn candy recipe that doesn't
take a speck of that precious horde
of sugar in this:

Children's S
Speech

Children Of 3 to 4 years OF age
have not, as usual thing, complete
control Of their speech mechanism.
There are some words they fno
difficult to say, some sounds that
they do not make quite correctly.
Sometimes they choke and starn"
mer.
When this happens do not begin
drilling the child on the correce
sounds or words. Content yourself
with saying the word or the sound
clearly and correctly, just once ana
no more. Don't try to teach ,.
or 4 year old the phonetic ele-
ments of. words. Don't drill him ON
any form of oral language. At
tention should be centered on parts
of words that are likely to cause
stammering. This stammering ID
often confused with serious speech
defect and so makes a lot Of avoid
able trouble.
Children who have begun to talk
in connected sentences are likely
to stanmer. When this happens be
careful to keep your eyes OH the
child's face and be sure to appear
busy with something else. though
listening to him with calm and
seemingly aloof attention.
The stammering child has flooded
his speech area with power and
jammed it. If he is allowed time
to adjust this he will begin again.
bit slower this time, and tell his
story. 1t will not do any good what
ever to tell him to stop and pro-
nounce that word carefully. He is
trying to express a thought that il
pressing on his mind, and when
that thought Is checked still more
by this drill exercise. the pressure
is increased and the stammertng
gets worse.
If the child chokes on . word
and cannot go on, look at him
kindly. without irritation or anxiety,
and say, We'll, I see you've had .
busy morning. Take time out now
for drink, I'll be here to listen.
Now tell me the story!"
You redirect his attention and
give him time to recover. You set
an atmosphere of calm and secur-
ity for him. and he will feel easier.
The tension that causes the stam-
mering will then be eased, and he
will do much better. Few children
have real speech defects. When
one appears it must be treated by
experts.
Talk clearly, slowly, to little chill
dren. Use no baby talk. Don't ap-
plaud a lisp by laughing at 1t.
L5ps are not funny and they can
be set strongly in infancy and be-
come handicaps later on. Just ig-
more them and say the lisped word
clearly. And don't drill speech.
Children initiate the speech of the
family. and when that is good theirs
is good, too. Give them time.

What's YOUR Hobby?

According to Mrs. Frederick Hag-
gerty of Washington, Cattleya or
chids do well as house plants, and
are not any harder to raise than
primroses! She's been growing
orchids for seven years-and those
we saw would serve adequately in
any corsage. Authorities at the
Botanic Gardens have declared
that her orchids are as healthy as
hothouse plants - although they
were at first doubtful that the
plants could be grown without ben
eft Of q greenhouse.
| To begin her venture, Mrs. Hag-
gerty equipped herself with books
from the public library, some in
structions from firm that sold
orchids, and her first plant, which
she received from her husband as
gift, and cost the comparatively
small sum Of IS. The orchids grow
In osmunda fiber--no fertilizer or
dirt is used. All the nourishiment
comes from the air and water.
From June to September the
plants hang in the back yard on a
mulberry tree-in spot where they
will not receive too much sun. The
rest of the year they stand in bed
room window facing south. In dry
weather, Mrs. Haggerty puts the
plants in the bathtub and sprays
them. A good deal Of humidity
leads to their growth, so she also
places water in the bottom of the
box in which the plants stand and
the evaporation of the water sup
plies further humidity. In damp
weather, she just sprays little wa
ter on the plants. They are usually
aired in the evenings and during
the day as we'll on warm days.
The plants bloom once year, and
blooms last three weeks. She cuts
the flowers on the fifth day, and the
icebox preserves them for the rest
of their existence. .+
Twenty-three cents was her initial
investment in q gardenia plant in
1937-and at one time Mrs. Haggerty
raised 1853 gardenias on one plant.
Flowers have been a definite part
OF Mrs. Haggerty's life for 80 years.

In answer to the recent request

That the reader asking the ques-
ton Is notivated by a desire far
greater than to increase her own
knowledge and background, the gain
OF better understanding in order to
share the establishment. of world
peace, is worthy of encouragement
by both the YWCA and the RICH.
Under the leadership of well in
formed lecturers who have lived in
the parts of the world they discuss
there are two specific classes in
affairs of today.
Back of the Headlines" an analy-
sis of current world affairs, is taught
by Mr.. Henry w. Abplanalp, a grad
uate of the University of Cincinnati
A discussion period in which MEM
bers of the class participate follows
each lecture. Mr.. Abplanalp's en-
thusiasn, stimulated by the daily
happenings which are so vital, en-
courages questions.

us Is ably handled by an attractive
little lady, Mrs. Amea Willoughby
whose charm bellies the experiences
that inspired her book, Il Was or
Corregidor,. Aided by maps, the
class visualizes the Orient: Some OF
the members of the group enrolled
have lived there, too.
A few weeks ago some one in
auired in RCH about daytime bridge
lessons. The YWCA has them on
Saturday under the guidance of Mr.
Charles A. Lyon, who has taught
more Washingtonians than any
other bridge teacher.

study of Home Management. This
class is available either in the day
time or evening. 1t is conducted by

Beginning with a roll call OF
household hints we learn the en-
ployment of modern efficiency meth
ods in housekeeping. Suggestions
such as these are included: Stream
lining the preparation of breakfast
to seven minutes including the boil

toward saving time and money that
housework hurts your pretty hands

happiness paramount in the art OF
