Show Modern Homes Trend In Radio City
By EMILY GENAUER Times Special Writer NEW YORK, April 4 — As a prolog to the New York World's Fair housing exhibits (and it is not unlikely that for persons interested in interior decoration it will rival the main event) there was opened recently at the International Building, Radio City, an exhibition entitled “House of Homes.” It includes three separate units— one a two-story modern structure, built complete within the walls of the skyscraper; the second an apartment decorated in the French provincial style of the 18th century, and the third an apartment done entirely in washable materials. The three of them present as neat | and compact a summary of what's] new in home building, sir condi-| tioning, modern lighting and dec- | orating as you're likely to encounter | in weeks of tramping through regu- | lar commercial display rooms.

To Child’s Mind, Survey Shows

Nowadays. psychologists are attempting to cultivate child mentality
through environmental impacts.
Thirty years ago. Binet, the great French psychologist, described the He said: “A child's mind is like a field for which an expert farmer has advised a change in the method of cultivating with the result that in place of desert land, we now have a harvest. It is in this sense that we say that the intelligence of children may be increased. One increases that which constitutes the intelligence of a school

we know that the child grows up.
He can learn better at 16 than at 4. But some psychologists regard this growth as a direct outcome of internal, organic conditions, dependent upon hereditary factors. : Other psychologists, in growing numbers, admit that these hereditary factors are powerful. But they are piling up evidence to show that what happens to the child after he is born is also important. If he grows up in an orphanage where he is bored and has little chance for learning, he may become less bright than other children who lead a good social and educational life.
The evidence of research experts)
like Dr. Harold M. Skeels and Dr. Beth L. Wellman at the University of Towa shows that children adopted into good foster homes tend to become as bright as other chiidren. Perhaps as bright as their new parents. In good homes children will

Step number one in the right direction toward achieving a figure which will set off your new clothes to best advantage is to eliminate the exaggerated hollow in the center of your backbone. If your spinal column is almost straight, your hips will seem inches smaller than they actually are and your stomach will be perfectly flat.

grow satisfactorily, and many will turn out to be bright children. Early ‘schooling has its effects too. Chil|dren placed in good nursery schools ‘as early as two or three years of age tend to get brighter. You may ask, how should we go about rearing brighter children? The answer is not simple, But here are a few suggestions: First, you should start with the infant. Be sure that.he gets good nourishment and medical attention. Second, encourage the child to be a healthy, social animal. He shouid be active in games, especially those involving other children. Let him use his hands in manipulating objects. Encourage him to make things. In the preschool years especially, be sure that the child has experiences with toys, games, pictures, books and objects in the home. Above all, if you are a parent, spend some time with your child. Take him on small trips and expeditions Finally, it is essential to develcp a home atmosphere of affection and security.

new directors were to be elected by
1the organization.
Mr. Deery stated that approximately $475,000 of the city budget goes to the city’s parks and playgrounds. He outlined the city government organization and explained items on the budget. Mrs. Lowell S. Fisher, council president, asked organization members to aid in cleaning up the city’s streets and alleys. “If we do our part,” she said, “and the city is still in a deplorable condition, we can turn to the government and tell them that they are failing. There are two sides to this matter of cleaning up the city. Citizens and the city department are going to have to work along together.” Mayor Sullivan named recently a committee of civic organization heads to assist in a cleanup and beautification plan for the city. Mrs. Fisher heads the group. “We are promised the co-opera-tion of the city government and if all the civic organizations join, we should see results,” she said.
Opposes Dillinger Film
The council also voted to send a letter to Warner Brothers Studio, Hollywood, objecting to the filming of a story of John Dillinger’s life. The letter said that the group feels that there was enough publicity concerning the person at the time and it is better to forget the details. The organization believes that the picture would contribute to juvenile delinquency. Four directors are eligible for reelection by the organization. They are Mesdames Arthur S. Brown, Ernest B. Thompson, J. D. Smith and Charles D. Vawter. Miss Charlotte Pearson, associate director of Girl Reserves, spoke on “The Proposed Summer Activities for Girls in Town.” “Both Sides of the Counter” was the topic of Miss Eunice Johnson of L. S. Ayres & Co. training department. Louis E. Evans, professor in charge of the training course for social work at Indiana University, will be in charge of the symposium. Speakers will include Dr. Edwin E. Sutherland, head of the I. TU. sociology department; Frank L. Sweetser, member of the I. U. sociology department; John V. Maler, principal of Wilson Junior High School, Muncie, and Lowell F. Fisher. The election committee for directors includes Mrs. J. H, Armington, chairman, assisted by Mesdames Hugh J. Scudder, Malcolm Dunn and Gert Iverson. Credentials committee members are Mrs. E. E. Padgett, chairman, and Mesdames W. H. Meuser, Charles E. Smith and Carl W. Foltz. Mrs. Charles E. Smith, education chairman, asked members to contribute books for a shelf at the Indianapolis Day Nursery. Mrs. Scudder’s legislative report included a plea for the support of neutrality laws prohibiting the sale of munitions to warring nations.
Strong and Pretty The kitchen, bathroom, nursery and recreation room are those where practicality in wall decoration is of paramount importance.

New patterns in these wall coverings are designed with as much eye to beauty, color and suitability as for the most elaborate drawing room.
