Smug Attitude No Cure, Fiance Is Told by LL Jane Jordan. San Put your problems in a letter to Jane : :

Jordan, whe will answer your questions | in this column.

EAR JANE JORDAN-—-I wish you would untangle this one. 1 am engaged to a young woman. ot late she has started running with a | pretty fast crowd. She frequents | taverns, smokes, and that sort of | thing. I have coaxed, scolded and | so have her parents, but she con- | tinues to transgress. You should | know- the whims of women. Is this | insanity merely a temporary dis- | order or is it likely to continue? | She is only 22, yet most girls have | reached their senses at that age. | Her dad says she needs a good, | old-fashioned spanking. What do you think? If her case is wd : of course I'll have to break the | engagement. LEY ANSWER—Since I don't know | the girl I have no idea whether her fling is temporary or permanent. | Even if I did know her she might | fool me. My guess is that her be- | havior is largely a gesture of de- | fiance against her parents who may have held her down too much. | § Where parents are too strict, virtuous, prudish or stodgy it is not | § unusual for the child to develop | a wild streak in an effort to escape | dullness. Where you made your mistake was in siding with the parents. Usually a girl marries to get away from parental domination, to feel grown-up, independent, in charge of her own life. If all she sees is more of the same thing in her husband, her defiance may include him, too. | ry ’ Your cue was to go with the girl | 1 odav S Pattern to her taverns for a time and let | 4 her have a taste of gayety. If you don’t like the places she frequents and the crowd she goes with, subttitute some other form of amusement. Very likely she only is highspirited and wants a good time one way or another. What can you put | in the place of what you want her | to give up? Forgive me if I say that your letter has a smug ring | which may account for your difficulty. The next letter in the col- | umn may instruct you more than I have.

I was not behaving much like a lady. | Well, Jane, the short of it is I want the first boy back. He has so | much character and I know I can be happy only with him.

1. An Optical Examination

First among your child's needs for a successful school year is good EYESIGHT. Strain from trying to see the blackboard, and fatigue from long periods of close work, cause irritability and exhaustion in children. Glasses may relieve these conditions completely. = Have your children's eyes examined by a competent optometrist before they return to school,

Child Often Needs Help In Studies

Parent Can Aid by Analyzing Youngster’s Past Difficulties.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Forewarned is forearmed and the mother who remembers past difficulties in school of William or Mary could help considerably if she would. Perhaps she has blamed William's defiance of authority on poor teachers who didn't uanderstand him. Or Mary's confusion in arithmetic upon poor instrucors. But if the years have rot ironed out the kinks, and last term was the same old story, then she really should know that the school is not to be blamed, not altogether anyway, and perhaps a little thought may straighten marcters out a lot. What kind of a boy is William? She thinks he is pretty fine, and so he is, of course. But generalizing does not help much. Many children are fine at home who are always in hot water elsewhere.

Covering Up Deficiencies

William may be very sensitive, and feel it terribly if he can’t lead the class or even make creditable marks. To cover up, he pretends to be a careless fellow, and endeavors to make his teacher think that he won't try harder because it is not important. He will try to annoy her to call attention away from the low spelling mark, for example, as he would rather have the kids think him a bad boy than a dunce. Or maybe he just cannot concentrate. At home he is permitted to do his tasks when he gets ready and he is making mental comparisons at school. Why should anyone expect him to make the minutes count when his own mother does not

| expect it? Again we have a situa-

tion that needs airing in the mothers mind. Of course, she cannot know ex-

actly the trouble, but by analyzing

and observing her son in his con-

tacts with other people than the teacher, possibly she can figure out reasons. Mental Blind Spots

If Mary cannot get arithmetic, while other children seem to be doing well on the average, this is neither disgraceful nor unusual. It is quite true that some of the most intelligent people have blind spots on one subject, or even more than one. I should not put it down too quickly to poor teaching. This does not mean to work her problems and hand them in, because this would not be fair to Mary herself. But. extra and patient explanations that cannot always be given in a busy school hour may unravel the knot. Besides many a child succeeds when he thinks that the personal interest of his parents is behind him. After a week or two, when school is organized, it may be a good idea to talk to former teachers as well as to the present one. Co-operation of parent and teacher often will gain the pupil's co-operation, too. Friendliness will get results, while antagonism or criticism only makes matters worse.

Babies May Have Allergic Reaction to Some Foods Eaten by Their Mothers

Minute Particles of Irritating Substance Are Capable Of Causing Illness in Varying Degrees, Experience Proves.

. By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal From 10 to 15 per cent of all people respond to the eating of certain food substances with constitutional reactions. The foods to which they are sensitive may be such wholesome articles of diet as milk, eggs or cereals or such appetizing luxuries as strawberries and shellfish.

As I have already pointed out, a®

baby who is sensitive to eggs can be made severely sick by eating an amount of egg that is to small to be weighed on a chemical scale. In fact he may be made sick by a kiss from his mother after she has just eaten some egg. A person who is sensitive to honey may be made severely ill not only by eating honey but by eating a piece of candy in which a small amount of honey has been incorporated. A person who is sensitive to cotton-seed oil may be prostrated by eating a biscuit baked in a pan that has been slightly greased with cotton-seed oil. The reaction In some cases are the eruptions that have already been mentioned. In other cases they consist of severe intestinal irritation with diarrhea and in still other instances they me be just a feeling of illness. Nowadays the attempt to deter mine the nature of such sensitivities involves some scientific detective work. Here is a story of a typical case. Girl Is Typical

A baby girl, 6 weeks old, suffered with an unusual swelling of the leg for which no cause could be determined. The baby had received nothing but its mother’s milk and had gained weight steadily until it was three weeks old. Then the swelling began. It lasted five days. Later the face and the right arm swelled. In the next three weeks the swell ing came and went in different portions of the body. Finally it was decided to study the mother’s diet. She lived largely on pork and bacon, supplemented rarely with chicken, and the main source of her diet

was corn bread and dried white navy beans. Occasionally she had potatoes, onion or canned corn.

Tests Were Made.

Scratch tests were made on the skin of the baby, using its mothe er's milk and the milk of three other mothers. The baby reacted promptly with swelling where its mother’s milk was injected but did not react to the milk of the other mothers. Then the baby was tested with the different foods which the mother had taken. The baby ree acted promptly to extracts of navy beans.

The mother was put on a diet from which beans and corn were eliminated and within 36 hours the swelling disappeared.
