STUBBORNNESS is a precious
trait. Without it no person would
overcome strong resistances, stick
long at hard job that is unpleasant
or ever accomplish much. Stubborn
ness is bad only when because of
it a child or other person makes
nuisance of himself. 1t needs to be
curbed at times or be ro~rected. Il
have bulletin on this subject,
which may be had in stamped en-
velope).
A mother writes of her son, three:
ole is very strong willed and indie
pendent. My husband has sort of
encouraged these traits in a great
many ways in order to make the
lad more self-reliant.
At Mealtime
"This child's actions at mealtime
are wearing me out. He insists on
serving himself, larger portions
than he will eat, demanding butter,
etc. when he really does not want it.
When he is refused his demands we
are in for scene. This morning he
was given an egg, he demanded two
and pushed his plate away scream
ing; so he was spanked and isolated
from the rest of the family and his
food was removed from the table.
He cried for exactly 20 minutes.
Then he smiled sweetly and started
playing as if nothing had happened.
Between tantrums he is a very
sweet, lovable child. My husband
has more patience with him than l
have but even he is beginning to
realize something has to be done"
My reply, in part: That lad not
only is stubborn but tyrannical to-
ward his parents. 1t is all right to
let him serve himself at the table
if he will respond to reasonable sug-
gestions. But when in spite of your
suggestions he puts more of any
food on his plate than he is likely
to eat, tell him, "No More" If he
disobeys this forbidding, remove
him from the table and let him have
no more food till the next mealtime.
Let him yell. Act as if you don't

NOWADAYS more and more
attention is being given by the
medical profession to the problems
of spastic children, those unfortu-
nate youngsters, who, because of
birth injuries or faulty develop
ment of the brain, come into the
world seriously handicapped.
Some of these little patients have
what is known as spastic palsy;
and certain muscles are in a state
of almost constant movement.
Others have a rigid paralysis of
certain muscles. These children
often develop deformities because
the constant pull of tense contrac-
ted muscles is so great that it can
not be counteracted by normal
muscle groups. Furthermore. the
tendons which attach these abnor-
NAL muscles to the bone do not
grow as rapidly as the bones.
Careful Study
If these children are To be helped,
careful study must be made TO
determine the muscles which are
spastic; weak and relaxed, or
normal.
Braces are often helpful. 1t must
be kept in mind, however, that
such braces are used chiefly to con-
troll the muscles that are overly
strong and not to support the weak
muscles. Thus, braces must be espe-
cially constructed and fitted with
extreme care.
The feet should be bathed daily
and perfect-fitting socks should be
worn.
If there is a back brace, it is bet
ter to have no underclothing be-
tween the brace and the skin of the
child. The brace should be checked
often to make sure that it is prop
erly fitted. If the brace is properly
fitted, it may eventually be worn
day and night.
Type of Operation
Operations sometimes accomplish
a great deal for these children. The

hear him. He has found that he can
make you and Dad very uncomfort-
able by his RACES.
Spanking at Meals
In the instance Of the egg doubt
whether he should have been
spanked since you isolated him.
Anyway, it usually is hazardous to
spank a child in connection with
eating as the discomfort may con-
meet with the appetite. Yet no child
should be allowed to throw food on
the floor or knock it from your hand.
A sharp slap on his hand then might
be warranted, though it might be
better to practice at controlling him
between meals so that mere NO
there would suffice.
Apparently you supposed 20 min
utes long time for him to cry
while isolated. 1t was not. Three
times that long should not have
bothered you.
Don't let this youngster demand
anything of you. While considering
his real needs, you should ignore his
whims.
He probably refuses something
from one of you parents while de-
handing the other parent give it to
him. Don't be his covering slave.
If he refuses something from Dad,
see that he can't make you give it
to him, or vice-versa. If he asks for
butter and jam and then demands
bread with butter only, let him
choose the former or nothing. Once
he has made choice don't change
your plans to suit his whimsical
change of decision. Let other young
parents take notice and act accord
ingly.
Answering Parents Questions
Q. Why do you, so often recon-
mend chair-sitting as good punish
ment?
A. Because it is good substitute
for spanking, is effective and pre-
pares the youngster for safe and
potent discipline by the baby sitter
and for his profiting from effective
isolation as punishment later at
home and school.

A Beauty
Treatment
For Lips
By HELEN FOLLETT

DO you know that in many beauty
shops special treatments are being
given to prolong the youth and
beauty of the mouth? Specialists
say that war years and the crazy
state of the world have brought on
facial tension among many of their
clients and the tension is directly
conferred in the fine fibers that en-
circle the lips. Unless there is re-
Taxation, the feminine portrait may
look brittle or austere. And that
will not bring any beauty rewards.
Facial loveliness depends to a
large extent upon soft, perfectly
nodded lips. The treatment to which
we refer is very light, very sure,
done with a certain rapidity. The
muscles around the mouth are fine
and delicate, will only become strong
and firm with a light, rapid touch.
A fine tissue cream or muscle oil
is used by the operator.
Under Lower Lip
With the first finger, the operator
does a rotating movement under the
lower lip, above the upper one. Then
the ends of the upper lip are lifted,
brought toward the center, so they
form Cupid's bow. Next a circular
movement is used to iron out little
lines that may have appeared be-
cause of weak fibers or the habit of
keeping the lips tightly compressed.
You can do these movements your
self in odd moments. Or, include
them during your identifying half
hour at bedtime.
The treatment finishes with a
compress of ice cold water to hustle
up circulation. 1t should not be
pressed on the mouth, but should
rest lightly on both lips. Wipe away
the cream, get busy with the lipsticll.
Let us hope that you are not one
OF those hurry-up makeup girls.
1t is impossible to apply the rosy
glow without steady hand, a
strong mirror and a keen eye.
Place the crimson pencil in the
center of the lip, sweep outward,
being careful to form clear-cut
line. Then fill in. A lipstick brush
makes for more perfect grooming.

all about it."
