By Betty Miles

What we are as grown people
the way we walk, the way we laugh
and how much, the people we enjoy
how we feel about tackling new
things or going to new places-all
these things have thu r roots back ir
childhood. The combination, for ex.
ample, Of a father who is solely de-
voted to his business and mother
who, suffering from sense OF neg.
lect, pours out on her children the
affection that would otherwise &c
to her husband, will have its effects
on the children.
Some parents, to satisfy their own
vanity, or because they have always
felt unsatisfied, expect such perfec-
ton of child that he becomes
afraid to tackle new situations. Lit
tie happenings-a glass overturned
at a party, lines of a piece forgotten
at a school entertainment-may SO
humiliate a child because he has
disappointed his parents that he
carries with him into later years
feelings Of urieasiness in a social
group.
Because early childhood is such an
mpressionable period, parents should
keep in mind the need for being
cool and objective about many
things that they otherwise might
take too personally and get excited
about. Upon how parents meet the
innumerable little unexpected ups
and downs depends to a great ex-
tent the emerging personality Of the
child. But we must not take our re-
sponsibility too seriously. The con-
scientious parent who is reading this
article will probably be much more
apt to be weighed down by problems
to take them too lightly. There is a
sensible middle ground.
The results of parents chance
words, woven into child's feelings
SO subtly in early childhood that he
has no notion later as to how he
came to feel that way, are often not
realized. A little girl, knowing that
she bears her fathers name adapted
into q girls name, and hearing her
parents laughingly tell people that
they expected her to be a boy, may
carry with her the fear that she is
unwanted and looked upon as only
second best.
If a child who feels unequal to
other children in many situations
has a chance to use some special
skill that the others do not possess,
he will show marked self-confidence
In his association with other child
rem when using that skill. Such a
child will even make greater efforts
in other directions, once he has
gained little prestige.
Early home training that gives a
child a sense Of self assurance and
belief In his own ability is invaluable
to him. Thus, to laugh at a 3-year-
old who tries something that Is hard.
to show him that we expect him
not to be able to do it, may cause
damage that is much more far
reaching than we can possibly know.

not have this card you drew from
the board until you obtained it even
if it meant taking all the cards.

The object of the game was to get
rid of all your cards first and you
could lay down books as in Rummy.
The points I am unsure of are:
What kinds of cards constituted a
book, sequences or cards alike, If so,
how many? II in drawing for a
certain card you picked other COM
pleted books from the board could
you lay them down at once or did
you have to, wait your turn? If
your opponent gave you the card

vice as to the kind to get. I like
the bright shiny kind (see more OF
them In the stores) but my hus-'
band says the fire will darken them
and we will constantly have to keep
them polished. On the other hand,
he thinks the bronze or dull-look-
ing ones, sort of speckled, would
be better, as they wouldn't show
the results of the fire, at least not
so fast, and therefore would be
more practical.
We would appreciate it If some OF
the readers would give us the bene-
fit of their personal experience.
'ROL Pulls.
from A. M, Arlington.)
For Mrs. L. NJ. Alexandria. and
others who have requested direc tions
for making "Rol Pulls"
Buy beef flank. AS purchased,
1t will be too thick for rolling, so 1t
should be divided into or thinner
layers, either by the butcher or by
you. When doing so, try to have a
layer of fascia on the outside OF
each layer of meat; the fascia serves
as a jacket for the finished roll.
Each layer makes one roll. Lay out
fat; trim off jagged edges. Sprinkle
generously with sliced onion, using
a good-sized onion to one roll, salt,
pepper and plenty of allspice. Add
thin slices of suet if meat is very
lean; the amount of suet will de-
pend on individual taste. Roll into
tight roll and sew well all around,
ends too. Tie well around after
wards with strong string to pre-
vent bursting in cooking. Rub out
side all over with salt. Place in
crock or large pan In cool place or
refrigerator, to season. After 2 or
3 days, the rolls are ready to cook.
One may be cooked at time, since
the others will keep quite a while
in the refrigerator. Use pressure
cooker with very little water, or boil
as any meat, saving the broth for
soup. When cooked, take from rec
ceptacle while hot. Press between
2 boards covered with waxed paper
and apply weight, using a brick,
f1atiron, stone or large quilting
screws. Leave until cold. Serve
sliced as any luncheon meat.

CHILDREN AND COLDS.
(Front Mrs. w. A. w., Bethesdd.J
I know that I am bit late about
getting in on the discussion Of colds
and their prevention, but I do not
believe any one stressed the i'm
portance of keeping your child iso-
lated while he has a cold.
I have just gone through very
narrowing experience with my g.
year-old son. All because a neigh
Dor carelessly permitted her young
son, runny nose and all, to come
to our yard to play. I did not dis
cover the situation until the dam
age had been done. My son barely
escaped pneumonia. My husband
Cancelled an important business trip.
Two doctors were called in, and we
battled for three weeks with severe
infection. At times his fever rose
to los degrees. His ears were badly
infiamed and very painful. At last
we were able to relax, and look at
the emacia&ed body of our once
sturdy small son, and say "he will
get we'll now!" Incidentally, we
both contracted his cold.
Few mothers, I imagine, have
escaped similar experience. Many
hundreds of children die each year,
or are invalided for life, just be-
cause of such carelessness.
I have discussed this matter with
a number Of women. Some fight
to protect their children from in
fection, as well as the children OF
others. Far too many Of us, how
ever, simply shrug helplessly and
say 'They just WILL get colds!
You can't coop a child up for q
week or so. You can't keep chill
dren apart"
I know that harassed mothers
of large families do find 1t difficult,
but still say we can keep them
apart! I firmly believe that SO to
rs Der cent of the misery our chill
dren, and we ourselves 60 through
year after year during the cold"
months, could be prevented.
II another woman slapped one
of our children we would probably
do our best to scratch her eyes out.
Yet most of us hesitate to say
Please come to see me when you
have recovered from your cold" or
Lets keep these children apart un-
til all danger Of infection is gone. "
Let's toughen up q bit, and fight
at home as well as at school for
the health Of our children. Moth
ing Is so wonderful as good health.

TO COOK SMITHFIELD HAM.
SAND TARTS,

From Mrs. H. w. B., Alerdndria.)
Soak in cold water overnight,
covered with water If possible. Next
morning, scrape and scrub ham and
cook in deep pan starting with cold
water to nearly cover. Bring to boil
then lower heat until it just SIM
mers. Cook slowly about 80 min
utes per pound first with skin side
up, then turn about last half hour.
When fiat bone underneath skin
side of ham can easily be lifted out,
then ham Is just right.
Let ham stand in its own juice
until thoroughly cool. Remove skin
and spread or baste as you would
any other baking ham. My favorite
Is to make paste of brown sugar.
cracker crumbs and ham juice.
Spread over ham and dot with whole
cloves. Bake at 300 degrees until
brown, basting just enough to keep
from crusting Hope it's good!
Here's another you may want to
use:
Sand Tarts: One-half pound but
ter, tablespoons powdered sugar,
q cups chopped nuts, flour. Cream
butter, add sugar, nuts and enough
flour to hold together. Roll in small
