= NAIL BITING.
(From J. r., WashingtonD

(From J. r., WGshingtonD
A very good way to cure nail
biting in children is to provide the
child with this own set Of mani
curing accessories-a nail file,
orange stick, cuticle oil and emery
boards. Teach him how to keep
his nails and cuticles smooth.
Rough nails prompt the child to
smooth them the quickest way
possible-by biting them. This
tends to continue merely as a
nervous habit. Once the child be-
gins to get his nails in good shape
YOU will find the trouble will de-
crease sharply.
Always see that nail file or
emery board is handy at times
when the child tends to be under
nervous tension. For many years
nv standard examination imple-
ments were paper, pen, pencils and
a nail file. If a rough place de-
veloped on a nail (and nails were
always breaking), I could smooth
it in a moment-and save the
looks of the nail.
The child should learn early how
to care for his nails-and if he
does it will relieve him of great
deal of annoyance later on.

TRAVEL WITH TOT;
ECONOMY HINT.

from Mrs. M. v. H., WashtngtonJ
In regard to sleeping accommo-
dations for babies and tots on
motor trips, two years ago we
took our 18-month-old child to
California and used her play pen
as a crib. Her mattress was a
cut-down Navy mattress at home
but as far as we can recall, we
just used her play pen pad as the
mattress while on the trip. She
enjoyed the trip and lost her
allergy to cows milk somewhere
en- route.
An economy and comfort hint
that we have prof1ted by is the
dime-store rubber soles. How
ever, the glue supplied with the
soles seems to work only on
leather-Soled shoes.

BATHING SUITS?

(From Mrs. J. A. w., BetheSdaJ
I've kept my family's and my
bathing suits in paradichloroben-
zine over the winter, and as
result, we now find that when
getting in the swimming pool that
our hides are nearly burned off
How can I remove the chemical

MATTRESSES.
(From Mrs. S. r. B., FartarJ

fFIOUL IA D. ~ xts L., L vi ytIL
Thirteen years ago bought two
innerspring mattresses, springs
and beds from a well-knoWn firm
The mattresses have outlasted
three others that have bought
in the last nine years.
Three years ago my husband
suffered a back injury and the
doctors said his bed was too soft
so I bought 2 inch by 6 inch
plywood board and put it between
the mattresses and the springs
He sleeps we'll every night and his
back has improved.
We think that a good inner
spring is a good investment.

highest hope. That is why the
greatest emphasis is being placed
on the proper training of teach
ers-why textbooks are being re-
written with scrupulous care.
Hitter's Spirit Still Lives.
There are skeptics. Of course.
There are those who ask: How
can you trust the teachers? Or.
assuming that you can, how much
influence will they have on
youngsters who come from homes
where Hitler and what he stood
for are still worshiped? How can
you make peaceful democracy.
which promises only a long. hard
grind of rebuilding, as glamorous
to the young as some dictator's
dream of rapid conquest and
Aryan glory?
Americans administering the
characterization program are
aware of these pitfalls. They
know Hitler is dead only in the
flesh and that it will take a long
time to drive his spirit out OF the
Reich. They know that every dol
lar spent by the United States for
e-education in Germany is a
gamble-perhaps with the odds
against democracy.
But it's a gamble the Americans
here feel must be taken. With
communism pressing from one
side and the embers of fascism
still smoldering. Germany's fu-
ture doesn't look too bright, from
the American point of view. Yet
there is optimism among Western
occupation officials that democ-
racy properly instilled in the next
few years may emerge victorious
from the political struggle that is
certain to come when Germany
finally is left to her own devices.

Democracy Can Win
In Germany, but Job
Is Hard, Experts Say
By Mormon A. Kohl
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

FRANKFURT, Germany (By
AirmaiD American authorities
most closely concerned with
planting the seeds of democracy
in Germany believe they can do
the job, if they're given another
three to five years.
They have no illusions about
converting all Germans of all
ages in such short time. A ma
ton imbued for generations with
the precepts of Bismarck, Will
helm II and Hitler can't be ex-
pected to embrace Jefersonian
ideals overnight. But the Amer
ican officials believe that. given
the proper start, democratic
movement here will roll along un-
der its own momentum.
Actually, the re-education OF
this conquered. rubble strewn
country has just begun. During
the first two and a half years of
he occupation, the emphasis was
on feeding the former enemy.
Very little was done about the
German mind during that period
on the sound theory that de-
,nocracy doesn't take on an
empty stomach.
8 Divisions Handle Program.
AfterWard it was necessary to
bring in the sort of supplies that
would make re-education possible
-newsprint, textbook paper, ink,
ilm, radio equipment. In the
EAST two years the United States
las sent to the American zone
lere nearly $4,000,00O worth of
1ewsprint and $750,000 worth of
yeXtbook paper.
The reorientation program is
administered by three divisions.
he Information Services Di-
ision, headed by Col. Thornton
:. Textor, supervises the setting
p of German newspapers. radio
tations and film companies. Lii
censes must be obtained by Ger
'lans before they may establish
ado stations and movie studios,
ut the licensing provision relat-
. lg to newspapers was dropped
:, few weeks ago.
The Education and Cultural Re
tions Division is directed by DR..
lonzo Grace. It is this DIVISION
at is most closely concerned
it'll educating the German people
ong democratic lines. It's fields
lclude music, art, literature and

sion of textbooks, conducting

in the face of the overall problem
OF rent control itself he preferred
to discuss how to end rent control.
II could talk about the little
schemes and tricks to get rent in

Last night, Harold G. Moulton,
president of the Brookjngs lnsGicu-
ton in Washington, told banquet
of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers that residential
building probably will continue
at a high level for the next year
or so" and that the picture Is
much the same for Office buildings
and for some types Of commercial
construction.
Mr.. Moulton said he believed
construction costs would continue
to advance-until such time as a
depression of substantial propor-
tions may occur"
Keyserling Views Attacked.
AT another convention in Chi
cago yesterday, the housing views
of Leon H. Keyserling, acting
chairman of the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers,
came under attack on much the
same basis as they were criticized
earlier in the day by officials Of
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards.
Henry A. Bubb, Topeka, KanS.,
incoming president OF the United
States Savings and Loan League,
said Mr.. Keyserling's estimate
made in Boston this wek that an
average of 1,750,00o houses year
were needed over the next 10
years was typical Of Mr.. Keyser-
ling's political thinking and q

Morton Bodfish, chairman Of

Real Estate Men Told
To Beat Rent Control
|By Curb on Funds
BY Robert }. Lewis
ksoi Estate Editor of The Stor

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Kendall
Cady, past president Of the In
stitute of Real Estate Manage
ment, believes the real estate in
dustry must battle rent-control
indirectly through whiting down
appropriations for enforcement
rather than by a frontal attack.
1.-The time to fight this battle
against rent control is now and
not next June 80, when rent con-
troll expires, and I think I have
a gimmick to fight this battle, "
he told q session Of the conven-
ton of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards yesterday.
Explaining the. plan, Mr.. Cady
said that essentially 1t amounted
to influencing Congress "to tell
Tighe Woods (the National Hous-
ing Expediter in charge OF rent
controD that he has had all the
money he is going to get and give
him no more"
1--WE must go to see our Sena-
tors and Congressmen now" he
continued. They're ready to
listen now, and in June they will
be thinking Of November and not
of ending rent control. We must
go to them now. and we must send
our bankers to them. and our min
listers and every friend we have.
''If we can send enough men,
bers of Congress back to Wash
ington with this idea, we can
win this fight before the APP
preparations Committee.
Cut in Appropriations Cited.
Mr.. Cady explained that after
Congress last tightened up rent
control, Mr.. Woods sought about
$26, ,000, 900 for administrative pur-
poses, but that Congress cut the
appropriation to $17,000,000.
Referring to Congress, Mr.. Cady
said:
"They didn't give the money for
it. They weren't willing to pay
for it, and that was good sign." "
Today. the institute official said.
"Tighe Woods is spending this
money too fast. He is spending
at a rate exceeding one-twelfth
of it every month. And that's
the place we can get him.
HE is not going to have
enough money to pay his bills.
Next January he is going to ask
for 100000 or .$s.ooo.ooo more
money.
IF We can get Congress to tell
Tighe Woods that he has had all
the money he Is going to get and
give him no more. That's where
we can get him. That's where
we can do the job"
Would Kill Entire Plan.
He cited q few examples Of in
creases that had been obtained

Last year Florida accumulated
more tourist dollars than any other
resort area in the United States.
Southern California was second
with $457, $1,000 In other sections
tourists spent $3OO,O00,0O0 in Wis
consin, $116,0OO,OOO in Washington
state, 100000 in Texas and
American sightseers left $4,000, 900
in England and $50,000,000 in
France.
It is encouraging that Florida
still has potential possibilities to in
crease it's tourist trade for American
travellers last year spent about $11
billion in the United States. This
means that our state only received
percent of the total spent so that
with our climate and recreational
resources, we should be able to tap
the tourist reservoir even further.
The reduction or elimination of
the existing Is per cent federal
transportation tax would do much
to stimulate travel to Florida. Tax
experts in the Treasury Department
admit that the tax acts as a deter
ment to travel and especially to
pleasure travel because those on
business can deduct the expenses
| from, their income taxes,
The entire federal system of ex-
else taxes is long overdue for
complete revision. 1t may be that
the forthcoming session of Congress
will take this matter under active
| consideration because the Senate

ator George of Georgia has already
