BABY PROBLEMS?
(From Mrs. G. II. e., Alexandria.
I would certainly appreciate sug-
gestions for taking child off the

interested in peoples experiences
in using the bottleholders which
seem to be very popular right at
this time At what age can a child
use them?
SILVERFISH?
(From Mrs. d. w. M. Arhngton,)
I am sure there must be others
who are troubled with these pesky
silver fish that eat anything and
everything about the house. Com
moth-proofing devices don't
seem to even slow them down. I
do hope some one can suggest a
means of Kidding my house of such
destructive pests.

COMMENTS.
From E. M. c., Riuerdnle, Md
Here is an offering on hair care
for busy mothers. One tablespoon
of CASTLE soap clippings dissolved
in one cup of water. Lather the
hair twice and rinse we'll, removing
all soap from hair. With other
shampoo, my hair was dry imme-
diately after washing and oily soon
after. This method leaves my hair
soft and manageable Gust as in the
"ads") and it seems to stay clean
longer.
To Mrs. A. r. R., with 4 children,
under 5, you know the important
things in life, our children, which
are our future. 1t may sound rather
different in this day and age, but I
would say, pray. Not that there will
be the sounding of drums and
miracles performed (as I looked for
when Younger. but a strength in
your self and clearness of vision.
Science will explain the miracle of
prayer, that you shift your worries
to some one higher and bigger and
so you are free of them and that is
just what happens. And God. does
not ask us mothers to make a career
of the house, clothes and food But
that we love our husbands and love
and teach our children. Teach
them Jesus and God by simple
stories and songs and then when we
are gone, our children will have
some one bigger than they are to
take their worries to.
People grow beautiful, wise and
healthy and strong all over the
world on all sorts of diets. 1t is
the food that is put into relaxed and
happy bodies that nourishes us.
Food is only food, cook it simply,
eat 1t slowly and forget about it.
And teach your children the BROTH
erhood of man in simple stories and
songs and references to foreign |,
lands and peoples. For that is the !
teaching of God that will be the
salvation of the world. The lady
that says "dramatize yourself and
your job" Is right. And another
contributor said, When they are
grown, you wish you could do it all
over again, and give more time to
the moral thinking How about
our generation wising up and let
ting the house suffer but develop
ing the children's minds?

(From Mrs. E. L. S., Washington. J
To Mrs. S. L. H., whose 5-month-
old turns over on his back and can
not go to sleep, I would say, play
with him awhile before expecting
him to go to sleep-put him in his
bed and roll him back on his stom-
ach every time he rolls on his back.
When he has had enough of it, you
will probably be able to 60 away
and leave him on his tummy and he
will go to sleep. You didn't say,

learned this new trick and needs

More striking than any monument that may be erected to the memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt is the organized fight against infantie paralysis which he inauguraed personally symbolized in his lifetime and unified by founding the National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis

TUESDAY, JANUARY g

Benefic aspects rule today. Clearer views of complex world problems will contribute the partial solutions .cf international misunderstandings.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women with vision are to assume public responsibilities of great im- portance to the nation, it is fore cast.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Delay in settling demands of labor will affect Spring trade but there are promising signs for merchants and manufacturers. Builders will overcome numerous obstacles and break speed records in the construc- ton of dwellings. On the Pacific Coast thousands or war workers from east and south will establish per- manent homes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Educators, after scientific surveys, will cause resentment in American homes by announcing the high per centage of young men and women who possess only the most superfi- cial knowledge and most juvenile aims.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Until people are fed in Asia and Europe, they will reject new teach ings, the seers point out.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of happy year in which they progress toward financial in- dependence.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be remarkably clever. They should be taught to work hard. Laziness may be besetting sin.

VETERANS PROBLEMS

Lieut.. Col. R.. P. Bronson, chief Of the Contact and Service Branch of the Veterans Administration, blinked when he was handed . telegram from a distressed veteran the other day. It read
 Assistance needed stop Brother murdered here December 26 stop Reply by wire"
 Colonel Bronson instructed an aide to phone the Veterans home city and see that he was given im- mediate help. Then he continued to leaf through the daily file of pleas that come to his desk.
 Its all in a days work" he said But I'll admit that one had me stumped for a while"
 Wide and varied are the sos ap- peals the Veterans Administration receives from men wearing the dis charge insignia They range from vets wanting to get traffic tickets fixed" to these who want to adopt children, purchase new automobiles, or get liquor licenses.

NAZUSM IN CHINA

Stilwell could not get enthusiastic about the recent truce announced between Chiang and the Chinese Communists. "The Gimo has been making and breaking promises for 25 years,' he said.
 ''The United States is the only reason he's in power today, and If the United States should say to China, We don't like the kind of government you have here because it's too much like the Hitler Gov ernment-and we won't help you until you change that form of gov srnment, why that guy Chang wouldn't be able to get two blocks flom his house.
 'It's Naziism all over arain-a dictatorship at the top by the Gimo with the same sort of econ omic base we fought in Japan.
 As for the question of permit ting the Communists to retain their Elrlv, why there's no differ encc between 1t and the Gimo's Army His Army isn't national armg-it's strictly an army of the Nationalist Party, just as much po- litical as the Communist Army"
 Stilwell said he had never gone to North China to see the areas under Communist control; not be- cause he didn't want to, but be cause l would have been thrown out of China that much sooner
 To illustrate his point that the Chinese don't like Chiang and de- serve something better. he recalled that in a village not far from Chungking, rumor spread in l94a that Chungking had fallen to the 5aps. At once, signs reading "Dowr with Chiang Kai-shek" appeared throughout the village. When asked if that might not have been inspir- ed by Jap agents, Stilwell snorted
 Not at all" he replied. Those poor people simply don't like tc have to pay the tax on their lanc 75 years ahead-and they don't like to have to pay an annual tax or their land four times year"

 He added that it wasn't all di- rectly the fault of Chiang Kali shek. Chiang would send message to some local chief, asking for two divisions, and the local chief would reply that he could have the men but not the supplies. Then, after sending the men, he would send message to the Japs that the lines were pretty weak at the spot from which the men had just pulled out.

SAFETY SUGGESTION

Editor, The Citizen:
With the coming tourist season
and the commenced school term,
our thoughts turn to the safety OF
our children.
Division street is unquestion-
ably the busiest thoroughfare IN
Key West, and unfortunately
schools are located on this street,
exposing hundreds of children to
this congested traffic, which is
to be lamented. The anxiety of
parents can be noted by the num-
Der that are present at the Dr.
vision Street School during the
recess hours.
While town cars proceed with
great caution in these areas and
the watchfulness of police and
teachers is admirable, the impuls-
es of children cannot be easily
checked and out-of-town cars
come into this area without
knowledge. 1t is believed that
no precaution to prevent an acct
dent or protect these children is
too great. During the recess
hours and after school, this street
is not only used by the youths of
both the Grammar School and
Convent School, but also by
youths living on the west side of
Division street attending the high
schools.
1t is believed that this traffic
situation can be relieved by de-
waiting the out-of- town traffic,
which mostly arrives during the
school hours, to Eaton street via
Palm Avenue. This route is al
ready greatly used by business
and freight trucks making regu-
lar trips. Information and di-
Fctions for the tourists can be
more readily and visibly posted
along Eaton street to business
sections, hotels and points of in
tereSt.
Serious consideration of this
would greatly relieve
the concern of parents.

ANCIENT SHIP
(Continued from Page One

CONTINUED from Page One)
Constellation had in the gale.
The date is December 5, 1894.
She was under command of
Boatswain Arthur B. Smith.
The Constellation was built in
Baltimore in 1897 when Washing
ton was president, and was tow
ed to that city for participation
in the Star Spangled Banner
centennial. En- route she put in
at Norfolk where guns were ship
ped and spars installed. This
gave the ancient sea fighter the
aspect she had in the old days
when she covered herself with
glory with Capt. Thomas Trux-
ton in command of 800 sea-dogs
who defeated the French frigate
L'Insurgente in a four-hour bat
tie February 8, 1899, off the West
Indies. She took part in the war
with Tripoli in 1902 and struck
terror to the BritiSher in the War
of 1912.
Originally the Constellation
carried 36 guns and was rated at
1865 tons. She cost $313,314.
The Key West emergency
which summoned the Constella-
ton to the isolated town brought
the frigate into port January Is,
1886. She proceeded to Pensa-
cola, February 8.
