THINK I was about the first
psychologist to point out that when
a child creates he does just the oppo-
site Of what he does when he de-
stroys. It's somewhat amazing that
in all the literature exalting the
value of creative activity programs
at school, in clubs and in other
groups Of children the character and
citizenship values have not been
given q bigger place. While coopera-
tive play with other children has
been emphasized, care Of property
has not. (My bulletin, "Teaching
Child Care of Property" may be had

Have you observed the tender,
careful attitude Of an adult toward
some piece of handcraft he or she
has made? As a rule, the more time
and skill employed in this achieve
ment the more precious it becomes
to its maker.

Liver most frequently comes to
table broiled or fried and served
with onions or bacon. Good dishes
these, but we'd suggest liver in .
slightly different role. For instance,
here's liver and sausage casserole
that is economical but wonderful in
flavor and nutritive value.

ONE Of the most stubborn COM
plexion ills is coarse texture of the
skin. Pores become enlarged, usu-
ally because of excessive activity Of
the sebaceous glands. The direct
cause, it is believed, is a diet that
contains too much fat. Rich sauces
and pastries must be deleted from
the daily intake of groceries; cream,
butter and chocolate must be cut
down to the limit.
At cosmetic counters, the afflicted
one will find astringents that are
useful in combating this trouble.
Witch hazel, applied with pledgets
of cotton, allowed to dry on, may
prove an effective treatment for re-
fining the texture of the epidermal
coat. A good skin freshener also has
mild astringent effect. Plenty of
cold water is essential; it causes
the pores to contract.
Foundation Cosmetics
Creamy cosmetics can be used to
allay a chapped condition or rough
surface, but they should not remain
on overnight. Foundation cosmetics
of dry nature are better than oily
ones.

Different
Causes OF
Dizziness
By HERMAN n. BUkDEsEN, MD.


AT one time or another nearly
everybody suffers from dizziness or
vertigo. Usually it is a passing
thing, but, if it persists, an exam
nation is in order so that the cause
may be determined.
Some people find they are both
cred In this way only when the head
il tsld in certain positions, whereas
othIls become dizzy only when the
head Is moved from one position to
another. The latter type Of dizziness
IL usually accompanied by a dis
turbance Of the eyes, known as nys-
tagmus, in which the eyes roll slow
ly to one side and then move rapidly
in the opposite direction.
Cause of Dizziness
This symptom is very important
in helping the doctor to determine
the cause Of the dizziness. In carry
ing out an examination of a patient
with nystagmus, the doctor will first
test the hearing. Then the patient
10 studied to see whether nystagnrus
10 present lying on the back. Then
pressure is put on the neck over
what are known at the carotid sim
uses, which are a collection Of
nerves. Pressure on these sinuses
may produce dizziness and fainting.
The patient then turns to the right
side, and then to the left side, and
then the head is hung backwards;
finally he sits up, steps forward,
and shakes his head.
During all these various move
ments, he is studied to see if nys-
tagmus develops. If, in changing
position, the nystagmus does occur,
and there is deafness or ringing in
the ears, it indicates that there is
some disease of the inner ear.
Ringing in Ears
One of the conditions which may
be responsible is known as Meniere's
disease, in which there is ringing
in the ears, deafness, and attacks
Of dizziness.
In some cases, the disturbance
may be due to an Inflammation OF
the middle ear. In other cases, the
trouble may have been caused by
undetected hemorrhage into the
inner ear.
Disorders within the skull more
often cause dizziness with changes
in the head position than general
dizziness.
Usual Cause
Dizziness without evidence Of
either damage to the nerves or the
brain commonly indicates some cir
culatory disturbance or infection
affecting the nerve cells. The usual
cause is disturbances Of the circula-
tion related to low blood pressure,
or disturbances produced by the
change of life.
For example, the underlying
cause may be an infection of the
stomach, bowel or breathing organs,
poisoning from a drug, such as alco-
hol or streptomycin. or hardening
Of the arteries in the brain with
high blood pressure.
In cases of dizziness, thorough
study is always necessary to deter
mine the cause before proper treat
ment may be carried out.

or playing at pretend with other
children. or enjoying his toy ami
mails or dolls. How quietly and care
fully he handles objects then. Ex-
cept at violent play like "Cops and
Robbers" there is no running, push
ing, hitting-and no roughhousing.
Also when the child from four to six
or seven is saving, cutting, pasting,
or painting he does not often merely
dwell on the activity. He doesn't
merely saw, pound, cut, paste, draw
OF paint. Each activity has q pur-
pose for him. He is making some
thing. And if we adults appreciate
his crudest creations just-s see how
much we stimulate him to 60 on
creating.
Fortunate the older boy and girl
who has a workshop with ample
tools, who spends many hours max
ing things for fun, other children
often creating with him.
A Workshop
Guided well from early years, the
older child may gradually develop
a workshop in the attic, basement
or garage where he will enjoy max
ing things until he grows up. Then
when he has a family Of his own
he may help his own children de-
velop a workshop.
To this end it requires parents
with understanding and patience
and a zeal to find . place for the
growing child to make things. Even
in a house of few rooms, a corner
of the kitchen or another room may
be used by this child. There are a
number Of good books and maya
zines full Of suggestions Of things
for younger and older children tc
make and do for fun.
