Son Object Of Dislike

By F ather

Boy Would Be Better Off Away From Home, Jane Believes,

Jane Jordan will study your problems for you and give you her opinion in this column,

Das JANE JORDAN—Perhaps

you can advise in regard to the unusual situation in my home: Dislike which my husband has for his eldest son, 17 years old. My husband has an overbearing, domineering disposition, is quarrelsome, unreasonable and a nagger. He never could get along with his par-

ents, brothers or sisters. He was the one who kept things in an up- | roar at home and now he keeps his |

own home in an uproar. |

The way this boy is treated by | his own father is turning him from a happy child into a sullen, rebel- | lious youth. He quit school and | went to work. Then his father nagged him to pay $3 a week board out of $9 wages. His idea now is| to browbeat this boy until he leaves home and after he has been “kicked around” by the world, he will be | glad to come back and appreciate | his home. When the older boy is not here he picks on the 15-year-old and when both are gone he picks on me. He can’t get me down. His actions have caused me to feel so superior to him mentally that he hasn't the power to hurt me. I have a small income of my own. Would it be worth while to send this boy away to school next fall to get him away from his father? Or, inasmuch as he doesn’t apply himself very well in school, would it be just as well io let him go ahead working? | Please tell me what my duty is in this situation. A WORRIED MOTHER.

years ago. The chances are that he secretly believed himself to be an unloved child, contending with his brothers and sisters for the love of his parents. When a child imag- | ines:himself to be neglected, ignored, | left out of family conferences and | decisions, he does not have the wisdom to ingratiate himself with the! others, but struggles to assert himself by arguing, quarreling and overcoming his competitors by force. A sullen, stubborn, disagreeable child is one who is painfully uncertain about his relationship to others.

When this reaction is not understood by the child’s parents, he often carries it with him throughout his life, clinging to the same old behavior pattern after he is married and has children of his own. Sometimes he identifies his wife with his mother and his children with his brothers and sisters. Occasionally he avenges his own childhood by identifying himself with his father and treating his own children as he fancies he was treated.

How often have you heard a man say in defense of corporal punishment — which never is right — “My father thrashed me and didn’t hurt me any.” Remember the little boy who flew into a passion when his father refused to let him watch the boats come in. . . “And when I get to be a man I bet I won't let my little boy see the boats, either.” If you knew the original circumstances which started your husband off on this habit of taking pleasure in displeasure, your heart would ache for him. Now all you see is that the whole mess has fallen in your lap and you're getting a late | start on habits already well-estab- | lished. By all means send your son away. You'll find him more studious in a boarding school where his time is organized and he is away from the | distractions of home. Many a par- | ent, including myself, has been amazed at the improvement in a! boy in school away from home. If not school, then work away Irom home and conflict between his parents is the next best thing. Your cue is to increase your hus! band’s self-esteem by every subtle Jeans at your command. Ask his opinion, seek his advice even if it’s worthless, lean on him when you can, and pretend to when you can’t. Compliment his good traits, compare him with others to their disadvantage, praise him in company. Request little favors and thank him for everything. Keep your eye on the cowering little ego underneath the blustering which results in such childish attempts to rule. The bigger you can make it grow the less

trouble you'll have. JANE JORDAN.

Thus if their estimate of available tricks is right, they can gauge with great exactness the range of profitable overbidding.

In the recent Adirondack cham pionship « tournament, one of the events provided a hand which offered North and South a slam in hearts, provided East and West did not sacrifice by taking a paying penalty playing for a grand slam in diamonds. East and West made a very sound sacrifice, as they could win at best one diamond trick against a six heart contract, so even a loss of five tricks was justified, as the value of a small slam is 980 points and the penalty of five tricks down, not vulnerable, is 900. Thus North and South were in duplicate parlance “fixed.” However, they might have made the best of their defense, and won as many

North should have opened a spade, and South should have returned the ace and another club. If another spade had been returned South would have won and led another club which his partner would have ruffed, and the penalty of 900 points would have been assured. East and West, against perfect defense, are two tricks better off playing the hand in clubs, although no pair tried to play the hand at seven clubs.

Simplicity and

Necatness Are Governing Aims

| { | | By ALICIA HART NEA Service Writer The girls who wore too much rouge and layers of mascara and arranged their hair in hundreds of frizzy little ringlets just are not in sight any more. Instead, we have an array of trim, natural beauties wearing just enough rouge to give cheeks a healthy glow, fine films of powder, no eye makeup in the daytime and coiffures which show the shape of the head and are clean-cut and neat looking. It’s smart to be subtly made up, very trim and exquisitely groomed. No fastidious girl who needs a girdle (and there are few who do not) waddles around without one." She knows that modern foundation garments are light and comfortable, easy to wash and that dresses and suits are much more flattering if the body beneath them is sleek and firm.

Considers Shape of Face

Also, she takes into consideration the shape of her face and the type of hats she generally wears before she plans a new hairdress. She likes the way motion picture stars do their hair these days and, with few exceptions, the Hollywood beauties eschew tight waves and corkscrew curls. : One shining example of neatness Is Jessica Dragonette, whose voice [is loved by millions, and her grooming secrets include some which might be useful to vacation | travelers. Miss Dragonette packs her favorite cosmetics in a rubber-lined case and | always includes a tube of liquid soap and a bottle of cologne. She carries a net cap to protect her waves while she sleeps and a rubber headband | to put around her head while she | applies makeup. This keeps foundation lotion and powder away from | the hairline,

All of this may seem pretty in- | volved, but the fact remains that | when Miss Dragonette arrives at her | destination, she looks neat and her | clothes are in order. And neatness | is the order of the day right now.

‘Hot Oil Manicures Are Recommended

Hot oil manicures are an excellent idea. When you have removed the old polish and whisked the nails into shape with an emery board, soak the fingertips in warm olive oil instead of soapy water. Or, it you like, dip pieces of cotton in the warm oil and wrap one of these around each finger. Leave the cotton bandages on for 10 minutes, then finish the manicure in the regular manner.

Hay Fever Relief Aids Are Listed

Conditioned Air, Pollen Extracts and ‘Free’ Areas Help.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor. American Medical Journal Only the Northwest seems to be relatively free from ragweed. Ragweeds and related hay fever plants do not grow in that region and the Cascade Mountains prevent the pollens from being blown in from the intermountain region. California and the Southwest are not greatly troubled with ragweed, but many other pollens which cause hay fever are found in that section. Florida suffers little from ragweed pollen. Winnipeg and upper Saskatchewan in Canada seem to be relatively free from these pollens.

The winds and the amount of rainfall are of great: importance since the winds carry the pollens and the rainfall tends to precipitate the pollens to the earth. |

Air Conditioning Aid ie]

In 1924, a Dutch doctor developed a room for the treatment of sensitive patients. This room was absolutely dust-free and the air in the room was pumped in through a filter. Nowadays it is possible, by air conditioning, to cut down the total amount of pollens coming into the air of a closed room. Many patients with hay fever are improved when they spend a considerable amount of time in an airconditioned motion picture theater. Various nasal filters and air filters also are available for inside

rooms, but the extent to which they

are effective in various cases depends on the depth of the sensitivity in the cases concerned. Humidity seems to be an important factor. Among the scientific possibilities for treating hay fever is that of desensitizing the patient by the use of extracts. Specialists who treat these conditions begin with a small dose of the substance concerned before the hay fever is expected and then inject increasing doses at various intervals well into the time when the season begins. Many believe that the beneficial results following injections of pollen extracts is not due to a desensitization, yet it does seem to bring about improvement of the symptoms in many cases.

‘Bad’ Child May Have Best Mind

‘Goodness’ Is Often Sign Of Mental and Physical Laziness.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON We call children good when they are completely under control, bad when they are not. This is not fair. The child with an easily satisfied spirit, the good child we are so fond of, may not get so many compliments when he is clder. He may still depend on other's to see him through. So we must not get our adjectives mixed. Usually it is the self-confident, strong-willed child who is called bad. He may be, of course, particularly if he has made up his mind that no law but his own matters. Bul the colt that is hardest to break to harness or saddle usually leads the race, or can pull the greatest load. He can, on the contrary, be ruined in his “breaking,” by spoiling his disposition and making him untrustworthy at any job.

Strictness May Be Wrong

Our tendency today is to allow children their heads, it is true— often, 1 believe, unfortunately. But in spite of the fact that I am in favor of general regimentation and the “musts” of childhood, I still find many cases where a misunderstood boy is too strictly handled. There is a family whose two boys are treated almost entirely

in reverse of the right order. One boy is negative, a born conformer, because it is the easiest way. He has few sins of commission against his record, but omission is his middle name. He is mentally and physically lazy.

Brother Is Energetic

His brother, overflowing spirits and ideas, is always “at something.” Naturally, a certain percentage of his experiments are over the line. He is always being “spoken to,” or making up infractions. He hears, “Oh, why can’t you he like Paul?” from one week's end to the other. Naturally he is irritable, while Paul the perfect is perennially good natured. Paul, exalted a lot by his own reputation, trades on it and finds it, an incentive to make spectacular bids for still more praise. He, too, thinks Bill a bad boy.

Good Boy Merits Criticism

All this his smart brother senses instinctively and resents, of course, Why does Paul not come in for some correction? He is merely negatively good, because he has not the energy to be anything else. He has no natural appetite for thrill. Energy usually has a certain exe citement hunger for a side partner, What is temptation for one person is only a bore to another. Why noi Jack up Paul for not showing more interest in life? It is Bill who needs the human understanding. Badness means deliberate vicious ness, and he is not that now. So why call him bad and his brother good? If Bill's parents were fair, he would probably try more self-cone trol. (Copyright, 1037, NEA Service. Ine.)
