the mothers understand the needs
and growth of children, SO that wise
handling will prevent emotional up
sets. She will show the mothers what
things are usual for children of q
certain age group to do. and what
things are not usual. She will help
them to understand the typical be-
havior patterns of children of vari-
Gus ages.
The attitude of the parents to-
ward the child, says Mrs. Gilbert,
plays major part in helping the
child to develop normally. These
attitudes affect the child. The way
child feels about himself, and
about life, is built up by the parents
in the early years of his life. These
attitudes are carried into adulthood.
Another point that will be stressed
in the course is the fact that the
things parent expects of a child
should be based on reality.
It is known that many mental
disturbances that develop later in
life-with the exception of those
that have an organic basis - are
based on childhood experiences.
Mrs. Gilbert believes that physical
and mental health are very closely
related.
In raising children, Mrs. Gilbert
declares, constructive thinking
opens paths to understanding. The
parents should try to understand
WHY child is reacting in certain
way, rather than simply forcing him
TO break habits or reactions annoy
ing to his parents. When little
Johnny is sucking his thumb past
the normal age for thumb sucking,
the wise procedure is not to devise
ways to stop him from thumb suck
ing. The intelligent approach is to
discover why he is doing this. AS
incredible as it may sound, it has
been proven that prolonged thumb
sucking is not simply hangover
from baby days-it may be an indi-
cation that the child feels insecure
unloved-that the basis for thumb
sucking is psychological.
A similar situation can be avoide
by prevention. For example, whe
a new child enters the family, ao
ditional love is necessary for tn;
older child at that time. KNOWN.
this, a wise parent can prevent az
emotional upset which might mani
fest itself in thumb sucking, bad
temper, and so forth.
Mrs. Gilbert feels that there Is a
growing interest among young
mothers for information about in
telligent care of their children. She
feels that mothers want very badly
to do good job. to see their chill
dren happy This course is designed
to help mother to enjoy her child
It is also designed to help the
mother to raise the child in the way
that psychology has found to be
best for the child now, and that will
help him to adjust to a grown-up
world later on.
The classes will be open to moth
ers from the District and vicinity
They are held in conjunction with
the Well Baby Clinic conducted by
the Child Welfare Society. The
classes will be held at Children's
Hospital, at 18th and w street NV

Gilbert hopes to have mothers OF

built around the needs of the moth

"gas engineer" could be prejudiced
but may qualify this probable pref
udice by stating that I do not work
for gas utility company.
The principle advantage Of gas
refrigerator is that it is absolutely
silent which cannot be said for most
other types of mechanical refrigera-
tors In the second place there being
no moving parts there is seldom any
maintenance required and for most
maintenance work the local gas COM
panies usually perform this service
free of charge which also cannot be
said for other types Of refrigerators.
There are of course excellent re-
frigerators using fuels other than
gas for operation and the fairest
comparison is the operating costs.
In the general Washington area ths
operating costs of gas refrigerator
as compared to an electric refrigera.
tor are approximately the same,
from my own experience. However
Mrs. M. A. J. states she will use gas
heat and il all gas for her new homs
is metered by a single meter she
will find that together with the
other consumptions of gas she will
be getting gas during the heating
seasons at the lower block OF ths
rates as described on her gas bill.
Under these conditions it IL good
economy to install all gas and taks
advantage of the lower block rate
and in my opinion on the overall
costs of utility services will be
cheaper II as many gas appliances
are installed as are required along
with the gas heating appliances.

against such a tragedy to a baby

YOUNG COLLIE,
From j. M. NJ, BetheSdd.)
About your 6-months-old collie
pup that drools copiously and is
shedding to a great extent. I am
fairly familiar with dogs OF most
breeds, and I do not think it natural
or normal for a collie to drool in
this way. English bulls are apt to
drool, and so are mastiffs and any
of the wide-mouthed. Tipped
breeds, but it is not normal in the
narrow -muzzled breeds ! should
think there is some digestive dis
turbance, or some tooth condition
that needs the advice of good
veterinarian Dogs shed in spring
and autumn. My own wire-haired
terrier Is causing me. at the present
time, to 60 about vacuum in hand
from morning till night, but taken
in conjunction with the drooling,
it may well be that some disturbance,
is contributing to the inordinate
shedding. In so young a dog I
should earnestly advise a visit to
a good veterinarian. as this is the
dangerous age in dogs, when dis
temper and other troubles are apt
to occur.

To remove old dec4ls wet a blotte.
Or a pad of tissue paper and place

green and white, there are about a
thousand white lines which have
turned black from insufficient
cleaning. We've tried scrubbing

far the only way we've been able to
