Smoking in School
By AnfeIo Pafrf

I school building full Of children. A
carelessly tossed match may mean
tragedy. Since when were high
school students who smoke In q
school building careful about
matches? If they were careful.
which means thoughtful, they would
not be smoking in a school.
Some students have a habit Of
going to the retiring rooms and
smoking there. To do that they
leave the recitation room, they miss
time for lessons, for study. and they
get no good out Of the smoking.
They toss the butts and dead
matches on the floor and the sight
Of dead match is sometimes
enough to suggest using live one
to some children. Even dead
matches are not to be allowed in q
school building for that reason.
The students complain. He
smokes himself" Suppose he does?
He certainly Is not smoking In the
school building. There is nothing in
the world that so chills the blood
of teacher as the smell of smoke
in the school building. Teachers
carry the responsibility of the lives
Of the children in their care and
they are not going to allow any boy
or girl to add to that RESPONSE
bility. the fear Of fire through the
heedlessness of some childish stu
dent who thinks 1t smart to smoke
where there are hundred OF children
in classes.
II high school students must
smoke. they have all outdoors-and
the yard at home. when mother will
have something to say about 1t.
Evening star., 1946-09-13

The principal of the high school
asked the boys and girls not to
smoke In the building or near It.
saying 1t was bad form, a menace
to health, fire hazard. and making
for untidiness about the building
Some OF the students thought this
restriction unnecessary, restrictive
and altogether dictatorial, un- Amer
lean. and the like. High school STU
dents can find so many words to
make a case, mainly for the sake of
using them.
The argument, mostly on the boy
students side, but the teachers and
the principal said little, went on
until few Of the parents took 1t
up. some for the smoking, some
against. The PTA took it up at
meeting and no decision was ar
rived at because Of the differences of
opinion. The principal held to his
order and finally one student who
openly defied the order by smoking
in the main hall during an inter-
mission, was suspended. Such a loss
Of precious time and energy over
a trif1e. We do not smoke in school
and that's the end of it.
A school building holds many chill
dren and teachers, principals, and
members Of the board, are re-
sponsible for the care, the develop
ment, the character growth Of their
charges. They are responsible to the
community and to their conscience.
Smoking Is not good for children. 1t
has no place in school because it
means flre and anything that means
flre must be rigidly excluded from a

Dorothy Dix Says

hard for the girl to resist the
pressure that is going to be put
upon her.
There is nothing really that you
can do to alter the girls decision
because all of your cards are on the
table and she knows what you have
to offer. If she let's Mother force
her into q marriage against her
will, you can comfort yourself with
the thought that she was lacking
In the courage and stamina that
you would want in a wife who
would fight by your side and help
you build up your fortune.
Personally, I do not know of any
thing that is at once so pathetic
and so cruel as that mothers, who
perhaps married for love them
selves and found that they had
gotten husbands who showed them
no affection to compensate them
for the hard life of poor woman,
are so anxious for their daughters
to marry money. Yet, when they
do, so often the rich playboy hus-
band loses his money and then the
girl has neither love nor money.
Evening star., 1946-09-13

Dear Miss Dix: I am an ex-
serviceman, very much in love with
q girl who is engaged to another
man. The girl Is in love with me,
she says, and has tried to break off
her engagement with the other
chap, but he refuses to take back
his ring. He and his family are
coming soon to see her and prob
ably to try to arrange about the
marriage. The girl is much worried
because the family Of this lad is
very wealthy and her mother is
pressing her very hard to marry
this man who can give her every
luxury, whereas I can only give her
four room cottage and a modest
living. But I have a good job and
I am industrious and am a decent
man. with no bad habits.
What do you think about it?
BLACKIE.
Answer-After all, the decision is
up to the girl and your fate de-
pends upon which she Graves the
most, love or money, and how much
she is under her mothers thumb
Evidently the mother is one of the
ladies like the one in the poem who
with a little store of maxims
breaches down her daughter

in the bank is better than love in
the home, SO it is going to be very

COD LIVER OIL STAINS:

Some months ago some one asked
for method of removing cod liver

to remove such spots first apply
baby liquid shampoo, rub, rinse and
then use usual soap. 1t works beau

this method. OF course, II possible,

SLEEPING ROBE.
Answering Mrs. A. G., Washing
ton: I think the sleeping robe, with
tapes, Upper and adjustable neck
band is entirely safe and I heartily
recommend it. 1t is the only way a
mother can sleep through a cold
night with assurance that her in
fant is well covered. I used heavy
one and thin one for each of nv
8 children, from their first winter
until they outgrew it at years. They
loved 1t and didn't want to part with
1t. No doubt your baby will cry for
q while the first and second nights.
Try make game of it and tell her
what nice blanket 1t is and how
snug she will feel In it. I prefer the
thin kind, as you can add blankets
as needed. Also, the factory used to
repair them at small charge. I
found the sponge rubber neckband
on the type I used would not dry
In one day when laundered.
fFrom Mrs. W. E. P, WASHINGTON. J
In answer to Mrs. A G. putting
her 20-month-old baby in a zip
pered sleeping bag, I do not think
she will have any luck getting him
In it at this late date My three chill
dren have all slept in them from
three weeks to almost three years.
I think they are wonderful. Your
baby Is always in one spot and
covers can be put over him that will
stay in position. However, I recon-
mended it before to my friends who
waited until the baby was couple
of months old and then they couldn't
get the baby in them. So unless you
are starting at 2 or 3 weeks I would
not advise you to spend your money
for them. Some of the pediatricians
do not recommend them but I have

mine in them.
