material that will not blow or

ground corncobs, or other ma
terials may be used.
Dogwood planting may be
undertaken with less risk Of loss
If the trunks. of the trees are
sprayed with a or 10 per cent
solution Of DDT to control the
borer. The trunks should be
wrapped with cheesecloth, bur-
lap. or paper to protect the ten
der bark from Sunburn. The
wrapping should be left on the
trunk until next winter. Stake
tall dogwoods to prevent their
blowing about. A good mulch will
protect the soil from hot sun
light and will avoid the neces-
sity of trimming grass about the
trunk. The University of Mary
lands leaflet on dogwood care
suggests that much injury is
done by bruising the bark with
the lawnmoWer.
Now is the time to make the
first planting Of gladiolus corms.
Succession paintings are deSira-
BILE for continuous bloom, al
though by a careful selection Of
varieties a single planting will
provide cuthowers over a con-
siderable period. Most garden
ers. however, will prefer plant
ing a dozen or so corms every
two Weeks-until the first of
June. Fall bloom is seldom as
satisfactory.
Because of the mild winter
and a better understanding Of
their requirements. the camellla
bloom this spring has been very
fine. A number of gardens have
these attractive early spring
bloomers and undoubtedly more
will want them. However. it is
important to obtain the later
blooming varieties, those that
flower in March and April. Or
better still have fall bloomers,
too. Avoid those whose normal
season of bloom is December,
January and February. unless
you plan to keep them in pots
or tubs and to move them in
doors for winter.

An Idea for School

to show ability to read along with

view. a new teacher, will work
wonders in stimulating his in
terest and attention. OF course,
we are inferring that his eyesight
has been tested and any defect
in it remedied. Also that his
hearing is not faulty.
Children who fail regularly to
complete the assigned work in
quality and quantity are not go
ing to profit much by repeating
a grade. They are likely to do
just as well. or as poorly, in the
higher grade because they have
not the ability the work requires.
When that is so, and it can easily
be tested, there is nothing gained
in leaving him back" Send him
along but keep him on a special
program under the direction of
an interested teacher. Often such
attention coupled with time al
lowance for growth does the job
adequately and sometimes is un-
expectedly rewarding.

When it is evident that a pu-
pill has not grasped the work that
the class has done during the
term and it is decided that he
must repeat the work, thought
should be given to the effect of
this on the youngster. There
should be method of procedure
that will enable him to grasp
the task in which he had failed.
Usually there is only one i'm
portant subject in which a child
is unsuccessful. It may be arith-
metic or reading. Instead of
forcing him to remain in the
same class among strange asso-
ciates it would be better to send
him along with his class and as
sign him to the class he failed
in for the one subject he needs
to work up.
If, for example, he failed in
the first half of the third year
in reading but passed in arith-
metic and satisfied the teacher
in other subjects, it might be
well to allow him to enter the
second half of the third year
but go to the lower half for the
required subject until such time
as he qualified in it. going on
with the upper group in the other
lessons. Thus, he may make up
the subject in which he failed
and keep abreast of the advanced
lessons.
In repeating his reading he
should not use the same book
as before. Drilling a child on
the same material time after
time is not effective, because
the familiar pages, words and
sounds hold no interest for him.
The memory of the struggle and
failure is discouraging whereas
a different book would probably
give him a boost. The book might
be a little easier than the one
used in the grade, until he begins

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
single daughter, who is %, is
working at a fine position in a
distant city. She is a charming,
intelligent, well-dressed girl. Yet,
when she meets a young man.
he'll date her several times
sometimes for months - then
when she begins to consider him
seriously. he fades out of the
picture. Could it be that she's
too sincere, or too proper?
w. M.
ANSWER: Sincerity and pro-
priety are not qualities that
would drive away a man of seri-
Gus intent. The fault must be
sought elsewhere. Perhaps your
daughter has subconscious de-
sire to retain her independence,
and actually discourages her
beaux when they approach the
proposal state. Or, she may be
overeager, and, again, perhaps
subconsciously, tries too hard to
make an impression. Since she
has no difficulty whatever in at
tracing young men. the snag
comes with the fact that she
can't keep them. The trouble,
therefore, is within herself, and
calls for a little analysis from
both herself and you; the assist
ance of a third person in un-
raveling her problem would be
helpful. but the third party OBJ
viously must be someone who
knows her quite well. To make
the proper impression on altar
bound young men, it's a good
thing to have domestic abilities.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: MY
problem concerns my 4-year-old
stepdaughter. Her mother has
custody of her. with visiting

days a month. The mother is

father by his first name, is tell

proper care of the youngster. The

Care Of hair is a year. round
business but in the summertime
it assumes greater Importance
bacause the sun can do your hair
a lot Of harm.
The best care for your hair
according to New York hair
stylist. Bernord az euro, is to
cut it short and get a good
permanent that will give your
hair a foundation. That way it
will not dry in raggle-taggles
after swimming. With the aid
of a comb and brush you'll be
able to direct it into soft waves
or ringlets. Whether at the
beach or in the mountains, a
hairbruSh. we think, is girls
best friend in keeping her hair
looking right. Brushing will draw
forth the natural oils of the scalp,
distribute them through the hair
and keep it from having that
fried" look.
Here are a few tips to keep
your hair in good condition. Be-
fore swimming, particularly in
salt water, apply a light coat of
pomade or dressing cream to
your hair to protect it. Before
entering the water, comb it into
its own natural waves or into
curls in which it has been set.
Put on a hair net if you can and
then spray it with a good, light
weight hair lacquer that comes
in a non-breakable plastic con-
tainer. Put on your swim cap
and have a wonderful swim.
If you haven't taken our pre-
liminary steps. towel dry your
hair after your swim and set in
large, soft curls. Little curls
will look like fuzz after a session
with salt water.
AS often as you can during the
summer season have a good, reg
ular oil shampoo. A competent
hairdresSer can detect the danger

returned to us. The girl never
wants to go home after visiting
us. My husband and I would
love to have her with us perma-
nently. What can be done about
it? il.
ANSWER: Your husband
should take action to have the
custody order changed. A lawyer
will arrange the details. If the
facts are actually as presented
by you. it's quite likely that
consideration will be given his
petition. You have the makings
OF a conscientious. loving STEP
mother. and I hope your cause
succeeds.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I'm en-
gagged to a very nice young man
I've known for nearly a year.
He assures me he loves me, but
his actions make me doubtful.
He has an awful habit of lying,
and is not dependable as far
as dates are concerned. He'll
make date, then fail to keep it,
and doesn't even offer an ex-
PLANTATION. My mother has in
vited him for Sunday dinner a
few times and, after accepting,
he just didn't come. F. L.
ANSWER: It's barely possible
that the boy is afraid of people
and deliberately Shuns gather
ings. yet hasn't the gumption to
come out and tell you so. Then
again, he may dislike the re-
strictions of a social group, or
the fact that he feels inferior
in one. One thing is sure, if he
doesn't overcome his shortcom-
ing in this respect now, he won't
after you're married. He will be
as loath to settle down to the
restrictions of domesticity as he
is to carry out his social obliga-
tions.
