If you ran across the
anonymous play "Mr. H."
among a bunch of old PAM
phlets, you would scarcely
guess, unless you knew your
literary history we'll, that
here was a rare Charles
Lamb first edition.
The Philadelphia dateline
seems odd, but the fact re-
mains that the Lamb farce
actually was published first
in this country instead of
England. The title page
reads, in part:
MR.. H. OR BEWARE A BAD
NAME. A FARCE IN TWO
ACTS. AS performed at
the PHILADELP HIA
THEATRE. PHILADEL-
PHIA: -. 1918.
Collector Elmer Adler
recalled, in an issue of the
Colophon in 1882, how as a
youth he had bought a copy
of "Mr. H." for a dime, and
then netted enough to keep
him collecting money for a
year and a half. A few years
ago dealer Charles P. Everitt
paid half a dollar for a copy
faultily priced by a rival
bookseller, and later sold it
for $3.50.
About $500 is what a copy
in good condition might
bring if it turned up today.

Corry-out Jobs
At Stores Urged
As VunduI Curb

The Deanwood Civic Associa-
ton last night appointed a
committee to encourage super
market managements to en-
ploy youths as carry-out boys to
curb vandalism in the area.
Members plan to inaugurate
a button system to identify area
boys seeking carry-out work in
Deanwood supermarkets.
The committee appointees
were the Rev. Andrew Allen,
Walker Clark. Carl Wesson,
Henry Caldwell and David
Franks.
Sarah Carter, vice president
of the Spingarn High School
student council, spoke on her
schools block-by-block cam
paign against vandalism.
SergtS. INLAND Ritter and
George Greegs of the Four
teenth Police Precinct answered
questions concerning vandalism
for association members.
Dean Parker and Walker Clark
were selected to investigate
what possible action the organi-
cation may take against land
lords violating District housing
and fire codes and creating
hardshipS or hazards for Dean
wood residents.
Members of the association
discussed the recent transfer
of the associations deposit
from the Bank of Commerce
to the Industrial Bank. The
transfer was made, according
to the discussion, in protest
against employment policies at
tributed to the bank, where it
was said Negroes were employed
only in menial jobs.

North's bid Of two no-trump
was the unusual no-trump,"
showing length in both minor
suits. South understood the
bid, knew that his partner
wanted a takeout in clubs or
diamonds, but still wanted to
bid a game in no-trump.
Up to this point the bidding
was perfect. North had shown
his values, and South had bid
the only makable game. If they
had stopped there. everybody
would have admired the ex-
pert auction.
AS it happened, North didn't
trust his partner. What was
South doing bidding three no
trump, North wondered. Didn't
he understand the meaning of
the unusual two no-trump? So
North ran out Of four dia-
mondS.
South should have passed.
If North knew what he was
doing, he had an outlandish
hand with, perhaps, two badly
broken six-card suits. But
south stubbornly went on to
four no-trump.
The rest was exactly the sort
of chaos that you get in the
Tuesday afternoon sewing cir
Gle rather than in a national
championship. When the smoke
cleared, North was down two
at five clubs doubled.

back to her mother.

DEAR ABBY: I have a
problem concerning my Is
year-old daughter. She is
attractive, well-developed
and popular. She does we'll
in school, and we have never
had any trouble disciplining
her. My problem concerns
her modesty. She runs
around the house with next
to nothing on. She has an
swered the front door in
her bra and slip, and says
there is nothing wrong with
it. The other night, while
my husband, our son 1D
and 1 were watching TV in
the living room, our daugh-
ter came in, complained of
the heat. and proceeded to
take her skirt and blouse
off. My husband and I are
concerned, but she won't
listen to us. Perhaps you
can get through to her.
CONCERNED
Since your daughter ac-
tually sees nothing wrong
with running around with
"next to nothing" on, you
can keep her properly COW
cred by demanding it. She
may obey to please you but,
unless she understands why
it is important to have a
sense of mOdesty about her
body, you are fighting a
losing battle, mother. A
frank mother and daughter
talk is long overdue.

MASON ON EDUCATION
If Junior Gets an A
Should Daddy Pay?

In their book, THE Dy-
namics of Personal Adjust
ment." DR.. George F. j.
Lehner, former professor of
psychology at the University
of Southern California, and
DR.. Ella Kube, social psy-
chologist at Occidental Col
lege, discussed this very
point.
Commenting on ways of
developing satisfactory par
ent-child relationships. Drs.
Lehner and Kube wrote:
IF a child is to achieve
emotional security, it is eS-
sential that he be accepted
as it is. His emotional Sc
curity derives from unquali-
fled love-love that is not
dependent on how he be-
haves; love that is not
withheld when he is bad or
awarded only when he is
good"
Other Kinds of Rewards
In short, we need to un-
derstand and accept a
child's limitations as well as
his abilities. If rewards are
not attainable, it would be
better if they had not ex-
listed. But if the desired goal
is within the capacity Of the
child. the reward is an in
centive rather than a call to
disappointment.
Not all rewards for grade
Improvement need be in the
form of money. In many
cases, a promise to spend a
day with a child at the ball
park or zoo, or perhaps even
a camping trip into the
mountains might hold a
higher value for a child
than money.
1t is important to encour-
age and reward a child for
good behavior and good
school work. This is the
positive approach. 1t is also
vitality important that par
ents never permit a child to
feel that they have with
drawn their affection from
him or are rejecting him in
any way because of misbe-
havior or because of poor
marks on his report card.

DEAR ABBY: I am the
luckiest woman alive 1854
nights of the year, but on
New Years Eve I wish I
were dead!
We always go to the New
= Years party at our club.
and this is the one night
my husband really lets all
the bars down. He gets
himself loaded, and makes
a fool of himself kissing all
the women. He tells me he
loves only me, that it doesn't
mean anything, but I get so
jealous and mad I could
choke him. What should I
do this year? Should I tell
him can't take it any more
and send him alone? I can't
go through another New
Years Eve like the last five.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
read the letter you received
from a mother concerned
about her 15-year-old boy
still sucking his thumb. 1
have several dentists in the
immediate family and they
advocate a small appliance
attached under the upper
teeth. 1t covers a portion of
the roof of the mouth and
in that way prevents the
child from being able to get
any suction.
1t also has a few sharp
prongs which help to dis
courage the habit. I have
seen this method used and
it works and is much cheaper
for the average person than
a psychiatrist. I hope this
suggestion will be of help to
parents who are confronted
with the problem of thumb
sucking.-Mrs. D.

any simple appliance that
will do the trick. But those
few sharp prongs"! Count
