Raising a Family—

United Front In Parental Care Ur ged

Mother and Father Must Not Have Conflicting Ideas on Child.

(Fourth of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Mothers are one way and daddies another. Oh, yes, they are different But this difference should be made to help rather than hinder in raising the family. Mother, you have nursed and cherished your little girl, or your little boy, and you think you know more about them than anyone In the whole wide world. You are right at that. You do, in most ways —but not in all. Besides, you lack the courage, sometimes, to get a little rough with them. Isn’t it true? You can’t bear that word, can you? Well, maybe you will have more patience with me when I say that 1 don’t mean beating, or boxing their ears, but just plain discipline. We shall go into that later, but since we are talking of parents these days, 1 must mention it here.

Children Sense Difference

Children never judge their parents by the same standards. They know that daddy has the “lowdown” on their laziness or their pranks better than mother has, because he sees them just a little more impersonally. He is away all day, and when he comes home he usually has a certain perspective that you, dear mother, ¢annot possibly have. There is something, you know, about not being able to see the woods for the trees, or missing the sea on account of the waves. Day after day small shortcomings pass right under our noses, and our forgiveness, love and sympathy won't let us do much about it. Then home comes father. He sees. And he calls a spade a spade. The only thing I have against the good man is that he is likely to bellow and threaten, which only makes the children believe him an enemy instead of a friend. The children then naturally look to you, mother, to save them from this outsider who expects them to march. They get to like you much better. They look at your face and instantly dub daddy a crank; and then watch them trade on Your weakness later. Sometimes it happens the other way ‘round. Mother is the strict one and daddy the cushion for hurt feelings. But I think you'll agree that mostly it is daddy who gets in wrong. Just because he raises too much of a dust storm all at once.

Talk It Over in Private

Now all this time, he is loving his little folk just as much as you are, mother, Maybe not so emotionally, but in the deep way that men have. Maybe he is walking to work to save carfare so Jack or Kay may have new shoes; or eating peanuts for lunch to take them to a movie. When you hear change jingling in his pocket, he isn't spending it on other girls, or betting on the whippets, but doling it out sparingly for his weekly needs. And yours. And the children’s. Even if he's not perfect, he should have a vote. And he will see tihngs that need correcting. Listen to him. One good plan is to settle important items just between yourselves, and agree to use this method or that, to pep up Jack on his behavior, or Kay on her slacking. Each of you might give way a little. Of course, much correcting has to be done at the moment, but a planned course and general tactics are matters for private council, and sober figuring.

NEXT—What can we do about emotion?

Today’s Pattern

ge ||

DRESS as softly detailed as this model leads in fashion importance for spring. The neckline shirred and softly draped is becoming to all figure types and is very young. Note the manner in which the waistline is lifted to give a smooth, sleek look to the midriff —a detail that is of paramount importance for spring. The skirt swings with becoming fullness at the hem and makes the waistline look inches smaller. The dress (Pattern 8138) is perfect for bridge and luncheon and in a sheer fabric, goes smoothly through the dinner hour. You can make the dress at home with confidence. Pattern includes complete sewing instructions. For a more formal afternoon

CALLANDER, Ont., Feb. 3 (NEA). —Slight head colds which have put the Dionne quintuplets to bed for perhaps a week, failed utterly to dampen their ardor for play and pranks. Nurses charged with keeping the children quiet were in despair at the noisy squealings which rang from bed to bed with the same gusto which marks their antics as shown at the table in their latest photograph. Dr. Dafoe regarded without concern the fact that three of the little girls lost weight in January, noting that weight fluctuation of the quins

routine statement, “This is your daily test; has your telephone given you any trouble?” subscribers would answer, “Not today, thank you very much for calling.” But, “Wha-da-ya-wan?” would be shrilled back at you in high, blurred nasal tones if you attempted such a test now. “Even though I am no longer actively connected with the telephone company, slovenly speech provokes me,” Miss Schmitt declares. Small, white-haired and prettily dressed in a mauve knitted twopiece sports frock, she sat in a quiet, sunny back parlor and spoke her mind. Diction Stressed Before her retirement, in 1930, Miss Schmitt's last job was that of training telephone operators for the New York Telephone Co. Their

first lesson was always on good diction. “That and a resonant voice under control are essential to distinct speech,” she said. “Resonance only comes through proper head tones.” Miss Schmitt learned to key her voice at the right pitch in the old Nassau office: “In those days it took three persons to complete a local call and five to connect the two central offices,” she said. “Orders were shouted into space, instead of being given in a clal over the circuit. I soon found I needed a strong voice.” While there were only 3000 telephones in New York at the time (today there are over one million), it was more or less of an engineering feat to make a local connection. Calls had to be shouted by the girls to “switchmen—boys of 16 or 17— who plugged in control board wires at the opposite end of the room. “Hello girls” were such an oddity when Miss Schmitt joined the company that she stayed in the building all day rather than face the gaping crowds which gathered when she went out to lunch.

Original ‘Hello Girl’ Finds U. S. Public Has the Mumbles

WORDEN

Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-—Miss Katherine Schmitt, the original “hello girl” of the New York Telephone Co., says the American public has got In 1882, when she first became a telephone operator in the Nassau St. exchange, people spoke slowly, distinctly and a little formally.

Each morning, in answer to her ®&—

brought her sandwiches from a nearby bakery. Her hours were 8 to 6 and she got $10 a month salary. She rode over on the Fulton St. ferry mornings because the Brooklyn Bridge had been completed only recently and was not thought entirely safe. Men handled the night work of the phone company. “It wasn't considered proper for young ladies to be out alone after dark,” said Miss Schmitt.

Invented in 1900

The training school for operators was her idea. In the old days the operator had much to learn. She had to learn to use her one free hand; the other was busy clutching the receiver to her ear. During calls she had to lean forward to reach the transmitter. In those early times only business companies could afford telephones— and not many, at that. A single telephone cost $240 a year. The highest number in the Nassau exchange was 600. The first New York telephone directory, published in 1878 had just 243 names in it. By 1882 the number had increased to 3000. In 1896 Miss Schmitt was asked to be the: chief operator—the first position of its kind in the telephone company. This meant that she had to train girls under her. That year marked the end of the male operator. The boys were not discharged but absorbed in other departments. The system of training which Miss Schmitt organized then is practically the same one used today. Before that, training had been a hit-or-miss matter. Miss Schmitt taught the telephone girls to use the volce with a Smile.” “It simply meant injecting kindness and unselfishness into your tones,” she said. “Which is just another way of saying ‘Give a courteous reply.’ ” She also taught the girls to use their lips to form words, exercise their voices by breathing deeply, then exhaling on the word “sing” and make it actually sing through their heads as they spoke it.

Bridge Kit Is Complete

For the commuter who enjoys whiling away otherwise tedious hours en route with a quick game of bridge, there is a new compact kit containing all the necessities except a partner—score pads, pencils, baize table cover and clips and two decks of cards. The case 1s attractive in green baize and “gingerbread pig” leather.

that’s a car!”

Today we announce a new “lowest priced” car «.. the new Hudson 112. You have heard about it. Now you can see it, and find out for yourself why owners of the “other three,” after actual comparison and test, vote it “biggest and best.”

Just read what some of these owners say:

“I thought my car had all the room I'm entitled to, even for my 232 pounds, but that new Hudson 112 opened my eyes. It’s longer, wider, bigger in every way.” Here's another: “That new Hudson 112 motor is not only smoother and quieter than mine, but it even seems to have more pep. Boy,

Still another: “I bought my present car because I thought it would save me money. I was satisfied, too, until I saw it come off second best

A. president, and Mrs. Davis, Maj. and Mrs. R. N. Lockwood and Capt. and Mrs. Preston B. Waterbury. Dancing will be from 9 p. m. to 1 a. m. A buffet supper will be served at midnight.

Gold Tassels Popular For personal adornment, heavy antique gold is one of the most important fashion items of the season. One Fifth Ave. shop introduces solid gold old-fashioned tassels on heavy gold chains. Wear them with your tailored suit, a cluster of tassels fastened on the lapel of your jacket. Or wrap the chain about your wrist with the tassels hanging in a group or at intervals. Long gold tassel earrings are new, too, and tiny gold tassels to attach to your charm bracelet.

2 Methods Of Roasting Compared

‘Constant Temperature’ And ‘Searing’ Both Win Support.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX You don’t invest a fortune carelessly, nor should you cook a giltedged roast without thought to its returns in taste and value, Over the two highly satisfactory ways of roasting meat—the searing method and the constant temperature method—there is a minor controversy. ’ Searing Method Wipe meat with damp cloth. Never immerse or allow to stand in water. That draws out the juices. You paid big money for the juices, better use them yourself. Season roast with salt and pepper. Have oven heated to very hot (500 degrees F.). Place roast in open pan with fat side up.

Run roast into very hot oven and sear for 20 minutes. Then reduce oven heat to slow (300 degrees F.) and continue roasting at that temperature until done.

Constant Temperature

Wipe meat with damp cloth. Season with salt and pepper. Place fat side up in open pan. Preheat oven to slow (300 degrees F.). Place roast in oven and continue roasting at this same temperature until done. For fresh pork, increase the constant temperature to 325 degrees F. Meat cooking researchers prefer the constant temperature method. About small roasts they have this to say: “A small piece of meat does not make so satisfactory a roast as a large one. The fact. remains, however, that many one and two-rib roasts of beef are used. A one-rib roast would be called a thin roast. Searing may improve the appearance of the meat, but a low temperature for the greater part of the cooking is advisable.

in that Hudson 112 economy test.” If you're interested ip safety, read this: “What got me was that reserVe set of mechanical brakes. I saw a test in which the hydraulic brakes on the Hudson 112 were disconnected, yet when the driver pushed down on the same foot pedal, the car stopped. That's the kind of brakes I want!” And Hudson has many more statements like these from actual owners of the other leading cars in the lowest price field . . . the best judges of automobile value in the world. Is it any wonder that this new Hudson 112 has aroused the greatest interest of any new car in years? It’s a new car for mew times, bringing you a better deal for your dollar! Come and see it, . . drive it. Let it prove everything that’s being said about it.

THE NEW “LOWEST PRICED" CAR

WE ARE naturally pleased at the tremendous amount of interest

aroused by advance news of the coming of our new “lowest priced” car.

Let me tell you some reasons why Hudson, rather than any other company, isqualified to produce so remark. able a car at so remarkable a price.

For nearly 30 years, this company has been developing the principles of design and methods of construction which enable us to do the thing we are doing today. Our company has always operated as a self-owned, self-managed organization. We have been able to work out certain basic engineering ideas, some of which at least have proved to be in advance of those used elsewhere,

_ As you probably know, Hudson engines are generally considered superior to others in smooth operation, fine performance and long life,

Hudson steel bodies are built in our own body plant, instead of elsewhere, This enables us to engineer body and chassis as a single rugged unit, stronger, yet free of excess weight. We have been able to develop an advanced type of brakes, combining finest hydraulics with a separate mechanical reserve system that takes hold automatically from the same foot pedal NE yu, er added safety u particularly im i lowest priced car. ii The result is the car we are an. Amn to you. A combination of y room, smoot rfo sturdiness and sa os the ro hand and of remarkably low cost of ownership and operation on the other, such as has never before been offered in a “lowest priced” ear,
