Children
By AnseIo Pafri

When little sisters and brothers
those too young to be reasoned
with-slap and push each other, 1t il
well to keep them apart as much Al
possible. avoiding any friction be-
tween them. They are too young to
understand explanations and ad-
monitions and, rather than allow
them to form basic antagonisms, tt
would be better to keep them sepa-
rated for q time.
This Is not always possible Try
a. one may, brothers and sisters
will get together and, If there Is
trouble between them, start . row.
When that happens, try to learn
which one started the trouble and
isolate him for a time long enough
to make him feel lonesome. The
fact that children of a family quar-
rel does not mean that they hate
each other-not In the beginning,
at least. They want to be together
and, If they learn that starting
battle means isolation for half a day
or so. they will begin to control
themselves.
When there is q span Of years be-
tween two children, 1t is not likely
that they will play well together. A
girl of IL will take care of baby
brother or sister cheerfully enough;
but she, Of course, cannot play with
him. The time span has done its
work. The girl has experiences.
interests, abilities that the baby has
not. and SO their paths must diverge.
Mothers often tell an older sister
to take the younger one along. The
older one is in her early teens, the
younger eight or nine. Now those
two girls are miles apart in their
interests, abilities and experiences.
Forcing the older girl to make .
play companion of the youger one,
taking her along wherever she goes,
is doing no good to either. 1t ID
building q wall Of antagonism be-
tween them.
Their interests. feelings, needs
clash; and there Is no way Of HARM
onizing them at the present time.
Allow them to grow at their own
rate, enjoying their own stage Of
life, and in time they will get to-
gether happily. Force the relation
ship, and they are not likely to get
together for the rest Of their lives.
1t is poor practice to shout at
quarreling children. to shake and
slap them. They will, in their turn.
shout. shake and slap each other.
Set them an example OF control.
patience and forbearance. Speak
gently and keep suggesting sisterly.
brotherly kindness,

PEASANT DESIGNS;

From Mrs. D. A. G., HyattSDille.)
Peasant designs for Mrs. J. S. A
paint store on New York avenue
near 14th street usually has Peter
Hunt books which will give you
many peasant designs.
Cleaning Silver for Mrs. G. w. B.
Add l tablespoon soda and table
spoon salt to l quart Of water in an
enamel pan. With an aluminium
spoon or fiat piece of aluminium put
silver in and heat water till silver
is clean. The aluminium with soda
and salt causes an electric current.
If you use an aluminium dish 1t will
be ruined for coating.
Polishing Brass for Mrs c. w. K.
An old way is to use salt and vine
gar. There is also a paste which
may be used If 1t Is still on the
market.
I get so much pleasure from the

may be Of use.

TRAVELLING WITH BABY.

From Mrs. L. w. K. Washington J
To Mrs. E. B. K, Arlington: The
first thing you should buy for your
trip is bottle warmer that plugs
into the cigarette lighter of your
car. This will save you all kinds of
driving time and trouble. Cafes
will warm bottle, but many don't
care to bother.
You should also buy car icebox
You can then carry enough boiled
water in fruit jars to last the entire
trip and it stays cool and fresh. This
keeps you from having to change
water on your baby along the way.
Buy your baby food in glass jars
and keep in the unused part of the
iceboX. With a box you can also
make up whole days formula
and it will keep cool. The icebox
holds around IL pounds of ice and
lasts around "a hours. We have
found that most small towns have
ice houses on the highway nearby.
I carry my electric bottle sterilizer
and eliminate the worry of how to
get the bottles sterilized
Much as I don't like 1t. I find
riding in the back seat in easy reach
of the baby. icebox and diapers,
saves many of sore elbows and
muscles.

A union official told a joint CIO-

are the matters uppermost in the
mind of the average man today"
John w. Edelman, Washington
representative of the Textile Work
ers Union of America declared.
The way people will vote" he
said, will be conditioned by high
prices far more than by political

The labor leader said the unions
will continue their fight against the
Taft Hartley Act. He scored the
failure of Congress to raise sociaI
security payments which he de-
scribed as "pitifully inadequate"
