their responsibilities than ever
before. Thousands are enrolled ir
parent study groups. The last
thing you should do is to rub in
to them their mistakes. Parent.
: are getting so iittery and anxious
they don't know what to do next
They need help"
| Mrs. Littfedale believes the
main cause of the difficulty which
many parents are having ir
| bringing up children is p a r
lack of knowledge of children
and what it is fair to expect
of them.
Parents get upset BECAUSE a
tWo-year- old dawdles or is dis
obedient. They don't realize it
takes long time before children
have sense of time. Mothers are
disturbed because a thrse-year-
iold tells lies. but it is not so vary
serious. The whole world looks
strange to three-year-old and
he sometimes mixes fiction with
: fact.
'If a child of eight or ten lies.
, however. it is serious Fathers
IVORY if their little boys are not
good sports. They don't realize a
four or six-year-o can't be
a good loser yet.
Because q parent doesn't
know what to expect. he some
times makes the child feel he
; is a failure-can't do all the
things he is expected to do"
AS further causes of the
twentieth century parents diff
ficulty in rearing his offspring
Mrs. Littledale cites CD the strain
lof the war and postwar periods
on parents and (2) parents fail
ure to tell their children often
enough that they love them.
'Ws assume that we reveal it
in our care of Them" She said.
"but they need to be told. Chill
drep. like adults, need love"
Mrs. Littledale-small. gentle
hammered and silver-haired has
married daughter and son in
college. She is a former New
York newspaper reporter and
Woman's page editor. After ner
marriage to Harold A. Littledale
and motherhood, she assumed
editorship of Parents magazine
then a young struggling publca-
ton of more than d million cir
'culation.
Mrs. Littledale gives these
three suggestions as possible
helps to puzzled parents:
l. Go on studying par&1thoocl
in study groups and in material
made available by the Children's
Bureau of the U. S. Dept. of La
Dor and elsewhere.
2. Put the children'S good
ahead of a spick and span house.
3. See that the children have
some fun with their father.

City Manager o. J. S. Ellingson
said today that a detailed study
! of two types of insecticide APP
plicators, one costing $l310.50 and
the other $1,000, has convinced
him that the latter would be
"a more economical buy for the
.city in the long run.
Ellingson was instructed by the
City Commission at its last meet
ing to investigate the various in
secticide devices on the market
and have an ordinance drawn up
authorizing purchase OF one. 1t
would be used primarily against
mosquitoes.
Ire city manager said that he
has given serious consideration
to the Tifa Todd Insecticide Fog
Applicator) produced by the Todd
Shipbuilding Company of New
York and sold by FOG, Inc, of
Tallahassee, and has also closely
studied the machine produced by
the Brewder Eastern Supply Co.
of Gowanda, NY.
The Tifa sells for $1700, deliv-
cred to Key West. Inc Brewder
machine sells for $3.50 for the
Type No. l Sprayer-duster, with
Buffalo turbine, water cooled. An
air-cooled engine would cost $780,

Lauderdale's BroWder is water

chimes require one 200 and one
500 gallon tank and the For.
Lauderdale device a 500-gallon
tank. The Browder machine, Ell
lingson declared. is for general
spraying of all types while Tifa
is designed primarily for insect
controller. and throws much
finer spray.
Cost of materials will be the
same for each-60 cents a pound

cent solution in 10 gallons of
diesel fuel oil or total cost of

Highway Commission. owner of
the Tifa machine which has been
used here recently by the Navy
carries 55-callon barrel from
which the Tifa sprays 40 gallons

At 81 cents a gallon, the Tifa thus
costs $12.40 per hour.

Stunning that the Browder covers

is improbable. the cost would still

twice the cost of the Tifa per

Paco looked and whistled. Alicia
was seated at a table with Barrios
and his wife, and she stSod out like
a gorgeous cameo.
There were two other men in the
picture as we'll. They were at the
adjoining table, but the distance
between the tables was micro
scopic. Seated next to Alicia, and
leering at her possessively. was a
handsome blond man of about
thirty. There was another man at
his table, smoking cigar and star
ing out into space, but Barrioe
shrugged Paco's question about
him aside.
"WEDIDN'Teven catch his name,"
he said. Hammond is the one who
forced his way into our party.
And Alicia was so full of enthusi-
asrn she didn't stop to figure that
none of us knew him or anything
about him. 1t was her first night
in New York, and there was no
holding her down. BY now she
probably thinks she's in love with
the man."

to marry an American. but not this

ALICIA came in shortly after
wards, and Paco gulped. Her pic
ture had been beautiful, but she
was ten times more so. She was
fragile, but there was enough dyna-
mite in her flashing eyes to blow
up dam.
'Is good thing got fiancee,"
Paco confessed to himself. Other
wise I would lost my prospec-
tives."
He was still enough off balance
that he found himself having din
ner with Alicia that night, with
out quite knowing how he hap
pened to be there. And his equa-
nimity was not restored when he
looked over the glamorous Alicia's
shoulder half way through the

him.
