You can make some Of your own
Christmas gifts and charm the
family with your ingenuity. But
start early. A last minute rush
will take the edge off your own
holiday fun
First. make your gift list. But
don't be too ambitious. Give to
friends and family and if there is
time, energy and cash spread your
gift cheer to others. Here are
some suggestions:
FOR MON Crochet or knit a
nice warm stOle-either q colOrful
one for early summer or a dark
one for dTafty winter evenings. A
white one might be threaded with
metallic yarn for special evening
glamor if Nom is the type who
likes to CAD about. If you don't
have al favOTite crochet or knit
stitch, a local shop where you
purchase yarn should be glad to
furnish you with simple free di-
rections.
FOR LITTLE SIS Big bro
ther should give you a hand with
this project at the start. Take a
small nail keg (12 to IA inches
high, remove One-half of one side
of the keg to provide a cradle
shape. Scrap wood may be glued
or nailed to the bottom of the
cradle to make small rockers.
Milford chronicle., 1953-12-11

Pad the interior of the cradle
with cotton batting. Then line it
with old plastic shower curtain
material or sheeting. Either or
both may be tinted with all-purpose
dye to an attractive decorator col
or. Make a flounce of the same
tinted sheeting and thumb-tack it
to the cradle in draped folds Put a
ruffle of sheeting across the top.
Little rOsettes of ribbon may be
added to make a doll bed any little
girl will love.
FOR DAD At the 10-cent
store or department store you can
find interesting glasses-cOcktail,
beer or highball glasses which Dad
uses for special parties. Ordinary
household twine in it's natural col
or tor dyed) or Taffia make inter-
esting base decorations. For small
glasses start up the glass about
IA inches, larger glasses may be
twine-wOund 8 inches from the
base.
Take ordinary household cement,
apply it to starting point of twine
or raffia to hold it in place, wind
around glass applying more ce-
ment to twine if it shows a tend
ency to slip. Tuck ends in at bot
tom row and anchor with cement.
Spray clear plastic oyer twine or
raffia for a glossy finish. If you
dye either twine or raffia use an
all-purpose dye for an all-Over
tinting job.
FOR BROTHER Knitted
socks are the only homemade
things that will go over with most
young gentlemen. They can be
kept happy also by a subscription
to a science magazine, tickets for
show or sports event, hobby
books or games.
FOR TEACHER A thought

are turning to chemicals to replace
expensive hand hoeing.
Chemical weed control can now
be used successfully on an exten-
sive scale with several of our ma
jOr vegetable crops. However.
Rain cautions growers the chem
ical method should be tried on a
small scale at first. It is important
to know how these "high-powered"
chemicals work and what equip
ment is needed to apply them
properly.
Recommendations must be fol-
lowed to the letter. If too much
chemical is applied, crop plants
may be killed or stunted; if too
little, you won't control the weeds.
To get the right amount of chem
ical per acre, Rain stresses three
most important details-speed of
the tractor, the right nozzle tips
and the pressure. When wettable
powders or Oil-water emulslOns are
used. agitation is an additional i'm
pOrtant factor, especially since
many weed sprayers fail to pro-
vide adequate agitation.

Your Child Today -
Give BubY Juicy Bone
By DOROTHY '. wHlPpLE. N. D.

By Dorothy " WHIPPLE, N. D.
AP Newsfeuiures
When your baby begins to teethe
he will chew on everything ne
can get hold of-his toys, his
bed, his playpen-and' when he
cannot find anything else he will
chew on his fingers. But in spite
of all this chewing, your baby is
apt to object to chewing food.
Up to this time all his food has
been either liquid or else soft
pureed things that need only
swallowing, no chewing. He is
we'll accustomed to the spoon by
this time, but he expects spOOned
food to be smooth. He knows Just
how to push the smooth food back
in his mouth with his tongue and
swallow it. If there are Jumps in
the food, however, they confuse
him; he cannot manage them the
same way, so he is pretty apt to
spit out any lumpy food you give
him from spoon.
Chewing Helps Teething
Nevertheless, he will put almost
anything he can get his hands on
into his mouth and chew on it..
His chewing is to help Dush his
teeth through the gums. He hasn't
learned to chew food, to prepare
it for swallowing.
Try it with your own mouth and
you will discover that you use
your tongue and jaws quite diff
ferently when you chew and swal-
low a mouthful of food from the
way in which you use them to
swallow a spoonful of something
like applesauce. Your baby has to
learn this new method of eating.
Drumsticks Excellent
If we give the baby a bone when
we are ready to teach this i'm
pOrtant lesson, chances are it
will go directly to his mouth as
does everything else he gets hold
of. He soon discovers that as he
chews on the bone, tiny bits of
meat come off in his mouth. They
taste good, he is already chewing
and in less than no time he dis
covers how to swallow the bits he
has gnawed off the bone. He
wasn't confused by being asked to
chew spoOned food which he eX-
pected just to swallow.
Give him any kind of a bone
that will not splinter and is not
sharp. Leave only a little bit of
meat on it so that he won't get
too big pieces in his mouth and
choke. Chicken drumsticks are ex-
cellent but many other kinds of
bones are good for the first expert
ment with chewing food
Don't Wait Too Long
Bones are better than zwie-
back or toast because baby is apt
to bite off too big a piece of zwie-
back and choke on it. The meat on
the bone comes off in tiny, more
manageable pieces. If you do not
teach your baby to chew food when
he is working on his teeth and has
a great urge to chew you may run
into the problem Peter had.
Peter was 8 years old. His mo-
ther complained bitterly that he
wouldn't eat anything but pureed
food. Lumpy food he just held in
his mOuth-if he didn't spit. it out.
One morning she found a piece of
a prune skin in his mouth that he
had held there since the night be-
fore!
ALI through childhood lessons
are learned more quickly and cas-
lily when we can teach them at the
time the child is eager to learn.

They are pledged not to tell any

One reason for the secrecy is to
prevent some book authors from

"There are five books, to my
knowledge. which hope to beat us
out as condensations," he said.

Smart Man Can
Turn Out ToBe
Poor Executive
By ARTHUR EDsoN

WASHINGTON On - If your
boss strikes you as being not
particularly bright. don't fret. A
smarter man might make a much
poorer executive.
This advice comes from DR.. VII
liam ]. Morgan, a psychologist
who can tell you how to pick a
man for everything from a boss
to a successful spy.
Let's look at the boss first.
"A man of high intelligence, Z"
Morgan told me, "often becomes
impatient with other peoples fail
ings. He may be too critical, too
quick to find fault. Furthermore.
he may become bored with the
routine that goes with every Job.
"a man with a fine personality
and temperament, but who isn't
so bright, may do much better"

ed with IS students who were TO
take course in the Russian Ian
guage.
He got all the data he could
about each student. Had he studied
foreign languages before? Was he
married? Any children? Had he
won scholastic honorS? Was he the
ambitious type?
From this Morgan guessed what
grade each student would get in
the course. His guesSeS were
sealed and kept secret.
At the end of the course they
were opened and compared with
the grades the students actually
made. Morgan was right on the
nose with IL Of the students. The
18th was a near miss.
Yet he didn't know the students,
the teachers or the Russian langu-
age.
He said be began by assuming
that each student was smart

This second book is part Of a

in humans. Under way simuItan-
eously are studies of sex offenders

elements in art.
Already. $500 confidential per.

Guests at the Southern Cross
Hotel they said they had no elab-
crate plans for celebration. "The
trip to Key West is our celebra-
tion." Mrs. Almy said in the quick
clipped speech of New England.
Il always wanted to come here
ard it's a real treat"
1t seems that back in 1888 they
started to motor down over the
Florida Keys, but half way on the
road, they learned of stormy wea-
Their in North Florida and turned
around, vowing someday to COM
plete the trek.
However, said she "That wasn't
our first journey to Florida. We
got sand in our shoes long time
ago"
Mr.. Amy put in, eve came to
Tampa back in 1911. l was a sales
man before l retired. We lived in
Cleveland. Ohio for IS years, but
we never forgot Florida. Now we
have settled down in Orlando. We
have been there six years and that
is our present home"
The address for the Almys after
half century of marriage is
uniquely indicative of happy liv-
ing. They have a trailer home in
Orlando at 1878 Orange Blossom
Trail.
The Almys were born, reared
and married in Rhode Island.
Their old hometown is Forestdale,
r. /. During the salesman years
they moved around quite lot. One
firm for which Almy worked was
the Armour Packing Company. 1t
was during this time that they
came down to Tampa. Mrs. Almy
observed that progress had chang
ed Tampa so much that they would
not be able to recognize any of the
old landmarks with which they
were familiar forty-two years ago.
They have one son living, Mervin
