camphor to prevent silver tarnish.
Because silver Is porous, 1t will
absorb the camphor and retain q
taste" Has she tried lining the
drawers with the treated cloth sold
by the yard for that purpose?
cThis should be done with small
tacks and not with glUe) Also
I'm sure she knows that the more
she uses the silver the less tarnish
she will have to bother with!

CHILD PROBLEM?
From c. G. s.. WaShingtonJ

I saw a mother with three chill
dren coming down the street Moth
ers Day. The two older children
were her daughters. The younger
o. small son, was following them or
q tricycle.. He was crying hysteri-
cally. screaming. begging for at
tention. trying every possible way
to demand that his mother and
his sisters do something. His
mother finally gave in, and walked
back and gave him the flowers he
apparently wanted. The child
Jumped of his tricycle. and threw
them on the ground and stamped
on them and then got on the
tricycle. and howled as loud as
ever. The two little girls looked
grave and disturbed, the mother
seemed Inundated and worried
about the people who were staring
at them. The little boy threw him
self off the tricycle., but cautiously
waiting to see how she reacted
No soap! He got on again, crying
following them, but at a distance
Finally, the mother gave in and
started back for him. At that
moment had to drive away. The
children, would judge, were 2
4 and 6.
The thing that bothers me Is
that I couldn't imagine what
could have been done about that
child, knowing of course that there
was nothing, I an observer, could
do to help. But knowing how un-
happy the little boy was, the thing
has had me down ever since
Should I have suggested some
thing? What, for instance? Was
1t any of my business? On the
.other hand. what could tina,
mother have done? She seemed
really faxed. Having read Mrs
Faegre's letter to RICH. I wondered

Dear Mrs. P: If you viii make

rustproof bowl or pan. put In the
infants dresses and sit the whole
business In the brightest sun light
possible, I am sure you will find 1t
a safe and efficient way OF bleach
ing the infants dresses. Just put
it in the sun for several hours and
leave it. I bleached 25-year-old
dress this way and have found 1t
excellent for removing tea stains
from linen and cotton table mats
and even for bleaching children's
white socks stained by brown
shoes.
Another way is to make a fairly
rich suds and add a small quantity
of commercial bleach and leave
the garment soaking for "a hours
or longer.
always use a glass bowl or
enameled one, being sure that the
enameled one isn't Clipped Ito

Here is a suggestion for cover
