CHILD PROBLEMS.
(From Mrs. D. M. r., Arlington.)
For Mrs. E. r. G. I have found
Baby and Child Care" by Benjamin
Spock, M. D., Infinitely helpful with
my own two, for it is book which
does not offer too specific methods of
dealing with our own young's chang
ing problems. Rather, it explains
the nature of the child himself and
gives one insight into the motiva.
ton OF his misbehavior. I have
considered it time well spent to read
it from beginning to end, though
my own kids are 10 and 6. And the
book can be had for only Is cents in
q pocket book edition at many drug
stores, etc.
1t would do no good for me to say
"If your little girl won't (or. can'D
keep her hair pinned back why not
bangs?" Even if they'r-. not as be-
coming as the other S, ~ And as
for being happiest when dirty and
barefoot, is that not normal and
wholesome for a 7-year-old? My
kids are provided with plenty of
clean clothes, plenty of baths, but
I certainly do not expect them to
be overly conscious. of dress and
appearance, not yet.
If your youngster is taking the
only means she can of rebelling
against an overanxious attitude
on your part, know that DR.. Spock's
book will help you to evaluate the
situation and bring much greater
happiness to both of you. AS for
the peculiar problems that develop
at a given age, you can get won-
derfully accurate picture Of these in
DR.. ,Gesells "The Child From Five
to Ten" a reassuring book but one
which requires more concentration
than DR.. Spock's.

BRIDGE CLASSES

From Mrs. G. w.. Bethesda.)
My husband and I would like very
much to learn to play bridge but
as we are newcomers to Washington
we have met few people and none
who play. Could some of your read
ers tell us of Glasses that might be
held somewhere? l. know that in
some large cities the public schools
sponsor evening courses that meet
once week. Does any one know If
this Is true Of Washington?

JACK FROST.
know . merry painter,
Who steals up In the night,
When little folks are sleeping
With eyes shut very tight.
He paints on peoples windows.
The strangest, fairest things,
Sometimes, tall. white pine tree,
Or butterflies with wings.
When days are dark in winter,
his pictures all look white;
But when the sun is shining,
They glow with golden light.

KEEPING BATTER.

From O. S., Waskington.)
This Is an answer to Mrs. E. w. LIS
request for breakfast menu hints.
I am sending you little trick I
learned few years ago and which
I think will be a help to. you and
others. Make a really good waffle
batter, I mean take time to separate
the egg yolk and the whites with
plenty of butter (excuse me, mean
margarineD and have waf1les one
morning, and put away the leftover
dough, and the following morning
add a little milk and you have a
pancake dough. Or add n cup flour,
about, to the dough and " teaspoon
baking powder and you have a fine
dough for mullins. have done that
for years, so I know it works, and it
saves time in the morning, too. Gar
nish up your waffle dough with a
little sliced banana occasionally. q
grease my waffle iron just little. I
have done that for years and it is
still good. Put a few raisins occa-
sionally in your muffin dough and
you can have cornmeal mullins by
adding cornmeal to leftover waffle
dough. Don't forget to add a little
extra baking powder to your mullins;
every n cup flour requires " tea
spoon baking powder. Let me know
how you like this method. I would
not keep batter more than two days.

CHILD'S SNOW SUIT.
fFrom Mrs. X. p. H., Arlington.)
For Mrs. p p. of Arlington: Last
winter I bought my 18-month- a
selan- treated snow suit, wind and
water resistant, with a cotton lin
ing. During the chilly and windy
fall days when other. children were
bundled In oyeralls, sweaters and
jackets she was comfortable and
well protected In her cotton-lined
snow suit.
For winter made a wool lining
6or the whole thing 1T was a one
piece suit, not hard to do since 1t
didn't require any fancy finishing.
Evening star., 1947-10-15

tackled it in at ankles, wrists and
neck and down the front, close to
the Upper. When the snow suit
was soiled, I removed the lining
and washed only the outside and it
dried in one day outside Cor one
night in the basement), whereas the
wool-lined ones take much longer
to dry. If the lining needed wash
ing, too, I still took it apart, because
the two pieces dried as quickly as
one. The treated poplin of which
these snow suits are made is much
more desirable than any kind of
wool suit I've ever seen or used,
because of its quick drying, wind
resistance and it's also much less
bulky so the child has more free
dom in 1t.

(From Mrs. L. A. G., Huntington.)
To the lady wanting to know how

for use should they appear. I also

CUTS OF BEEF:
STAR BUDGET.


From Mrs. A. D., Wastington.)
I find it more economical to buy
21a pounds of beef, the round boned
type, for the two of us than to puf-
chase or 31a pounds of the cheaper
kind, say chuck. I can make the
round roasts last five days, fixing
various ways: l. Sliced cold with
vegetables. 2. Meat pies. 3. Hash.
4. Casserole with beef and white or
sweet potatoes. S. Macaroni or rice
with bits of beef. Would be inter
ested to know how other readers
manage with beef.
Stars budget. In letters from the
people q reader takes exception to
some prices quoted. should like
to state that coffee and chuck roasts
are obtainable at the price quoted by
The Star. As was stated, one must
shop a bit here and there. May
say I think a wonderful diet has
been worked out In that 1888
budget?

Landlady States Case

To the Editor of The Star:
So much has been said about land
lords discriminating against children
that I would like to speak for the other
side.
My only income, after years Of being
a semi-invalid, is from renting out three
rooms in my home. This apartment at
present is rented at $85 month, includ-
ing all utilities.
In many cases have welcomed chill
dren but in every instance my roomers
have retaliated with extravaganza in the
use of my facilities.
Extra light, extra heat, extra water,
extra operation of the vacuum cleaner,
extra use of the phone--such has been
my experience.
Are there no appreciative people in
Washington or will have to start say
ing: mo children, no dogs, $50 month
please? DISGUISED LANDLADY.
Evening star., 1947-04-02
Welcome Reversal

A proper appreciation eoI tne
respective functions OF the three
branches of our Government, and
of the Importance of keeping them
in balance, calls for unstinted ap-
proyal of the decision of the House
to override its Appropriations Com
mittee in the matter Of payment OF
salary claims of three former Federal
employees.
This does not entail any indorse-
ment of the records Of the three men
in question-Goodwin B. Watson
and William E. Dodd, junior, former
employees of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission, and Robert Morss
Lovett, erstwhile Governor of the
Virgin Islands.
After an investigation in 1943,
Congress came to the conclusion
that these men had no business in
the Government service and voted
to withhold funds for the payment
of their salaries. There was con-
siderable evidence to support this
conclusion. Nevertheless, the men
were permitted to remain in their
posts for short while, and then
they brought suit in the Court OF
Claims for their unpaid salaries.
The aggregate claim was 81, ,158.01.
They were upheld by the Court OF
Claims, and that tribunal, in turn,
was sustained by the Supreme Court.
Thus, in effect, the question now is
not only whether Congress through
It's control of the purse can dictate
the selection of personnel by the
Executive Branch, but also whether
1t can nullify ruling by the highest
court
Presumably, as Representative
Hobbs has stated, Congress has a
right" to do this, for it can appro-
pirate or refuse to appropriate for
anything under the sun. But 1t
would necessarily follow from this
that Congress also has the right"
to refuse to appropriate for the
salaries of the Supreme Court
judges, or even for the salary of
the President. These are rights"
which no rational legislator would
presume to exercise, for the in
evitable result would be the destruc-
ton of our system of Government.
In the case of Messrs. Lovett, Dodd
and Watson, the difference is one of
degree only. The principle remains
the same, and it is to be hoped
and expected-that the Senate will
concur with the House in refusing
to establish the unworthy and
dangerous precedent advocated by
the Appropriations Committee.
