Jane Tells Of Dangers In Pick-Ups

Please Boys by Keeping Proper Formality, She Advises.

Jan Jordan will help vou with your problems by her answers to your Qquestions in this column daily.

EAR JANE JORDAN— I am a 15-year-old girl who has an ordinary number of girl friends but few boy friends. I know many boys,

several of whom are perfectly satisfied to come and see me when there is nothing better to do, but they very seldom ask me for dates. Recently several of my friends have started to pick up strange boys at "a nearby amusement park and although I may be an old maid I don't approve of it and won't do it. Am I foolish in not approving of pick-ups As a youngster I was not overly pretty and 1 was terribly self-conscious. How@'er, on growing older I have become a little nicer looking and have outgrown some of my self-consciousness. Please tell me how I can learn to talk and act with more ease in the presence of boys, and how I can interest them for dates rather than Just to camp on my doorsteps and take up space? LONESOME. ANSWER—In the first place you are right to turn down pickups. No fastidious girl wants to pick her friends from an amusement park. They may be very nice boys for all I know, but they would be the first to condemn you for discarding the formalities. Boys divide girls into the sheep and the goats and the ones they pick up in amusement Parks usually are regarded as goats. You must remember that few boys of your age have much money to spend on dates. About all they can afford to do is camp on your doorsteps. I should think they would be good material for you to practice on, for ease of manner comes from much experience in mingling with others. If you learn to please these boys and make them like you, you will know how to please older boys who work and have money to spend on their girl friends. Men are comparatively easy to entertain. Most of them like to talk about themselves and will do so with ~almost no encouragement except a willing ear or an admiring glance. It is much better technique to be the sort of girl a ‘man enjoys talking to than to spend the whole evening in a huddle on the couch. The thing that puzzles girls the most is whether to show their: liking for a boy+or not. It is necessary for him to believe that you like him very much indeed or he won't come around. You can be more reticent on the subject of “how much.” Make it clear that you aren't exactly certain “how much” and he'll try all the harder to make you more certain. Whenever a boy implies that he is disappointed in you because you aren't an enthusiastic and easy necker, don’t show your fear that he is going to drop you on a moment's notice, but put him on the spot instead by letting him believe that

‘you are the one who is disappointed. After all you had a pretty high ideal of him and he is in danger of falling off the pedestal. I do not mean that you should never under any circumstances kiss a boy, but you would do “well to avoid the dark corners for ; boys only laugh at the easy marks. JANE JORDAN.

Baby Is Calmed By Sponge Bath

When his majesty the baby grows fretful in hot weather, try the water treatment, inside and out. Of course, first make sure that he isn’t ill. But if his health is good, a drink of water, a sponge bath, or both, may be all he needs to restore his disposition to its normally winsome state. Always boil the baby’s drinking water, then let it grow cool buy not too cold. Be sure the bottles and nipples have been washed in hot soapsuds, sterilized, and scalded just as carefully as when his milk is served. An extra sponge bath or two in torrid weather may be a welcome addition to baby’s regular daily bath. The sticky combination of perspiration and soil is just as uncomfortable to babies as to grownups and a sponge bath before bedtime will often enable him to sleep soundly all through a sweltering night. Go over his face and body, first with warm soapy water then with clear warm water. Pat him thoroughly dry with a soft fresh towel, sprinkle him with talcum, th dress him in a clean diaper and slip, and he is ready for his playpen or crib.

undertaken more frequently than safe contracts of the same number of tricks at a suit. The bidding was not good. Six whereas six no trump required lots of luck, and then an end play, to be made. The end play would not have succeeded had the spade king been situated otherwise. However, even bad contracts require a player's best efforts.

The opening lead of the spade six was won with the ace in dum-=-my, and the diamond finesse was taken at once. Dummy was reentered with a club to take a second diamond finesse and the ace dropped the king on the third lead. Two more diamonds were cashed, East discarding the heart seven and a spade. Three high clubs were cashed, the last two being won in the closed hand. East again had to discard twice. He gave up his two small spades. Now South played a spade, and East was forced to lead up to the ace and queen of hearts in dummy. While the contract was bad, the play redeemed it. (Copyright, 1 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Child Owes Courtesy to His Parents

Wheedling, Pertness and Silence Are Marks of Bad Habit.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Fortunately the mother of this particular family is plump and placid, and not given to nerves. Otherwise I should have felt sorry for her, when the children spoke as they ‘did.

Now these were right nice children and well-enough behaved, but they had one fault in common, all three of them, and that was t0 use a wheedling or whimpering tone of voice to their mother, and pull down their mouths and eyes into an expression of deep injury when addressing her. It provoked me considerably, because they had everything children could wish, permissions that other parents might bar, and all the rest of it. Yet immediate demands, if not acceded to at once, caused a protest in the way I have mentioned. Take Opposite Sides

Habit. That's all it is because both parents are brisk bright people themselves, but they do not see what is happening right in their family, Then there is another growing family that I watch with interest, because each child is on his own side of a fence, and mother and dad are on the other. Right out in meeting they announce their rights, company no objections, and make ‘every effort to put their parents in wrong. “Oh, you know mother,” one said to me. “It's her idea to keep me down in some prissy school where I can't have any fun. She needn't think I'm going there.” This is only one remark of dozens along the same line, and “mother” is forever on a defense of her own, trying to argue that she knows best. While I believe in youth holding its views, I don't believe in any boy or girl discrediting the opinions of his parents all the time. They make it personal, as though their elders were in their dotage. Habit again. A bad one, Those Who Ignore Parents

Then I have a third grievance—

| though mother wasn’t there. They | neither look nor answer when spoIt is { to6 much trouble. Besides, they | don't intend to take her suggestion anyway. This habit also grows un- | less checked. No matter how small | the mother’s comment, it merits a | reply, and a courteous one. | I know, of course, that mothers | can be trying to the patience of | youth, and that they are prone to | fussing ‘'overmuch, but allowing for all the shortcomings, I find the balance of fault many times over on the part of the children s6 much ‘of the time. Products of New Century

Where has respect gone, and common courtesy? The wheedling unhappy voice that loves to sound miserable; the pert correction; the languid silence that is supposed to imply dignity, but merely impresses the observer as ignorance and rudeness—all are products of a new century. Be happy, mother, if your boy and girl treat you as an equal. Be happier still, if their manner implies the regard due a wiser head and a leader. They would not presume to treat anyone else otherwise, and it should not be permitted at home,

Gadgets Featured

Boys with traditional masculine love of gadgetry will probably like some of the new belts that have been brought out for them. One has a leather loop in front, just large enough to hold a short pencil. Another, bearing a small change purse with snap-fastening flap, provides mother with the answer to that perennial question: “What did you do with the pennies I gave you yesterday?” One of the most novel ideas is the ‘“double-luck” belt which offers supercolossal good luck in the medium of a horseshoeshaped buckle from which hangs a real rabbit's foot.

ny 2, 1087. Rest Often. Necessary For Kidney

Shifting Part of Work To Other Organs Is Recommended.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor, American Medical Journal

As has probably been noted from the previous discussions, the general purpose of treatment in disease of the kidney is to find out the cause and to gét rid of it." The next purpose is to take as much work from the kidney as possible so that it may have opportunity to recover, or if not to recover, to carry on the amount of work that it can do. Like the heart, lungs and brain, the kidneys function steadily from birth to death. They get little opportunity for rest. They do not work incessantly because at times there may be little for them to do. When they do work, however, they may have to work fast and ine tensively. As with the heart, resting the kidney is the most important step in the control of disease. Dr. P. S. Hench has pointed out that the kidneys can be rested in several ways: 1, by not adding to their burdens; 2, by shifting part of their work to other organs; 3,-by helping them to carry on stich work as is unavoidable, Rest In Bed Beneficial Rest in bed will stop the kidney tissues from doing a good deal of their usual work, and in that way these tissues will form less waste products for the kidneys to handle, Sometimes certain waste products may be eliminated from the body by the bowels or by perspiration, Stimulation of these organs helps to take work off the kidneys. Sich stimulation may be brought about by the use of hot packs, hot water bottles or warm baths so far as tha skin is concerned, and by the use of enemas, laxatives, cathartics and similar methods as far as the bowels are concerned. Obviously it is the greatest ime portance to protect a kidney diseass patient against a secondary infece tion of any kind, particularly a sSevere cold or pneumonia which will add to the burden on the heart Ma on the kidneys. Regulation of Diet In consideration of the diet which regulates to some extent the amount of work on the kidneys, the impor= tant features are the amounts of salt, water and protein. Some doce tors decrease protein in all cases; others allow a certain amount of
