FEAR OF TUB.

From Mrs. V. G.. A., Arlington.)
To Mrs. S. G.. of Hyattsville: To re-
move crayon from slate with polish
remover There will be a slight
darkening on the slate for a time,
but constant cleaning with a wet
cloth will eventually remove this.
We tried cleansing powder, steel
wool, everything before a friend
tried the remover. It just vanished
then.
To Mrs. G. j. B. of Mount Rainier
regarding her present bathtub trou-
bles: Relax and give the situation
time. Our small fry loved her hath
until suddenly one night she had
mysteries and it was two or three
months before we could again get her
In the tub. We finally accomplished
our goal by friend bringing her
q new bath toy, "Mr. Babber," and
. she was so anxious to have 1t and
play with it she seemingly forgot
the tub. However, her getting in
was with her permission and then
we made no effort to force sitting
down, just soaping and shower
ing off as best we could. Believe
me, dear lady, I know what you
are being faced with. 1t nearly had
us licked. but we Just did the best
We could about washing her for
awhile. I could go on and on and
relate our problems during this
period and it wasn't any fun. We
couldn't even wash hands in the
bowl or any other vessel contain
ing water. I merely ran water over
the cloth and touched the high
spots on the child.

child Is water babe now.
(From Mrs. v. M. R., LurdyJ
I have had similar experience
as to bathing a baby who is fright
ened of bath. My boys little feet
were in casts from the time he was
a year to 10 months, so he knew
very little about bathing. My solu-
tion was persistence. Try just q
very little water in the tub nearly
covering the bottom, make the child
sit a second or two. Do this twice
a day, before nap and at bedtime
This takes a lot OF time, but will
train him to expect this as he does
his meals and in short time ali
will be serene again.
The quickest way, though, is II
the baby has a brother or sister
or cousin. even a playmate he Is
very fond of, put the other child
in the tub, let the baby watch, have
all his toys in the tub and have
older child playing with them. The
toys must be kept moving to take
mind off of the water Set baby in
front of the other child and hold
in the tub while. Give him a
chance to watch the other one
playing, even if he does fuss, as
the child gradually stops fussing
step behind the baby so his whole
mind Is on the goings on in the
tub. 1t won't be long till he will
be in a water-loying state. I did
this with the baby sister and 1t
really was fine.

FROZEN LEMON PUDDING.
PAINTING SLANTTNG WALL?
From Mrs. D. L. H., Washington. j.
The lady wished for the recipe
for lemon pudding. The one I have
is for frozen lemon pudding and
We just love it, so here goes.
Chill until icy cold "a cup evapo-
rated milk. Mix together 2 we'll

sugar, n teaspoon grated lemon

thickened, about 3 minutes. Cool
Beat until stiff 2 egg whites and
beat in 2 tablespoons sugar. Fold
into cooled lemon mixture, then
chill. Rub bottom of refrigerator
tray well with butter and spread
in tray half of "a cup vanilla wafer

Sprinkle with remaining crumbs.
Freeze without stirring at coolest
temperature. Makes servings.
Does anyone know how to paint

4 feet and then it slants for 6 feet
to the ceiling? We want to get all

whether to paint all one color or

Looking for a Job?
Bv Betty Miles

Actual and impending decreases
In Government stats swing the
spotlight to the labor market. Wash
tngton, city Of Government de-
partments and agencies and small
business concerns, poses a problem
for the fairly high-salaried Govern
ment woman who finds she no
longer has an office in which to
hang her hat.
Miss Jones, our hypothetical en-
ploye, is out of job. She may find
another Government position COM
parable to the one she held former
ly. Or she may find a job In private
industry here IN Washington that
will fill the bill.
But the very fact that small bust
flesses figure greatly in Washing
tons economy makes her job hunt
more difficult. If she was an ad-
ministrator in the Government, her
work implied that there was a staff
under her. A small business, with
few employees, would hardly offer
oppor Gunity for a number of admin
istrative positions. Her solution
may lie in changing cities as well as
positions, since other cities are more
fertile in the large industry field.
The out-of- town service of the
United States Employment Service
is designed to help people like Miss
jones. Through their Nation wide
program, USES learns of job posi-
bilities in other cities and has sue
cessfully helped men and women
find jobs equally as challenging anc
financially as satisfying as the jot
they left.
The out-of-town service operates
In other ways. Miss Smith, from
Oshkosh. Wis, had been away from
Oshkosh for some time. When she
decided to return, she wanted a bic.

THIS, TOO, WILL PASS"

tFTOUt T.. M. NJ, WuSfLtNgtOH.J
For Mrs. M. M. p, Kensington:
This, too, will pass. Oh heart, say 1t
over and over,
Out of your deepest sorrow, out of your
grief.
No hurt can last forever-perhaps to-
morrow
Will bring relief.
This, too, will pass. It will spend itself
its fury
Will die as the wind dies down with the
setting sun:
Assuaged and calm. you will rest again,
forgetting
A thing that is done.
Repeat 1t again and asai,. o. heart. for
your comfort:
This. too, will pass, as surely as passed
before
The old FORGOTTEN pain, and the other
sorrows
That once you bore.
As certain as stars at night, or dawn after
darkness.

Whatever your despair or your frustra-

ture OF the labor market there. She
not only got the picture, but she
was able to send an application for
a job in Oshkosh before leaving
Washington.
Then there was Miss Brown, who
had friend in Laurel, Miss. She
wanted to go there with her friend.
after they resigned their Washing
ton positions. Miss Brown did office
WORK in town, but was also trained
in kindergarten work. A USES coun-
sellor helped place her as kinder
garten teacher In Laurel, Miss.
According to the Civil Service
Commission, there's still a definite
shortage of stenographers in the
Government. Typists are in de-
mand, too, and out-of-work secre-
taries should not have too much Diff
ficulty finding another Government
job.
Locally, USES anticipates that the
competition for jobs In private In
dustry will be keener than ever. A
change-oyer from Government to
private industry will entail some
adjusting, and initial brushing up
for the job hunt will help. The
USES pamphlet. Your Jobology
Check-Up," should prove helpful.
It lists is suggestions on selling
yourself to an employer. 1t helps
the applicant see things through an
employers eyes, helps the person to
take stock Of her qualifications, and
points out the attitude best apt to
bring results.
The pamphlet can be found at the
USES Offices at 1924 H street NV,
1922 Fifteenth street NV. and sos
K street NV. Information on the
out-of-town USES service, and on
other job helps, can be secured at
the same offices.

not too expensive and it means
much to the child to have his own.
AS he reads aloud to you, make a
note of the words over which he
stumbles. Letter each one on the
back of an index card. Use a
sharpened crayon Tin several easily
read colors if you wish) and make
it look as near like the printed
word as you can. Write the word
in smaller letters, too, SO he can
see both forms. Then each night
flash the words before him. Give
him the cards as, he learns the
words WELL enough Sto say them
without hesitation. Review him at
least once a month.
1t appalls me to think how chill
dren today are expected to learn
the thousand Of ways of dealing
successfully with living without
specific instruction. Parents are
guilty, too. 1t is the same prin-
ciple as that of letting a man run
a complicated, delicately balanced,
expensive machine without previous
instruction. Parents had better get
busy or we will all see sorry result.
1t isn't all inexperienced teachers.
it is mostly the modern method of
teaching. Go to your superintend-
ent, teachers are helpless to change
it. They have to do what they are
