QUESTION, BOX g

Q—How many diapers should a baby’s layette include? A—From three to six dozen. If you have good washing and drying facilities, three dozen will be enough.

Q—What is the name and address of the Government office where free publications on care of children may be obtained? A—The Children’s Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C.

Q—How should a hdmesmoked ham be cooked? A—Soak it in cold water about 48 hours. Change the water and boil the ham half an hour for each . pound. Let it cool in the water in which it was cooked; remove the skin, sprinkle generously with brown sugar, dot with whole cloves and bake for one hour, or until the ham is a golden brown. Add two cups of vinegar and four cups of water when baking, and baste frequently.

. Q—Does shaving promote the growth of hair? A—There is no scientific proof of it. Tests were made by shaving one leg clean of hair weekly for four years. At the end of that time the hair on the shaved leg was permitted to grow and was no thicker or longer than on the leg which had never been shaved.

. Q—Recently, when my baby was|

{ll, I kept her in bed with me and now she refuses to go to sleep when placed in her crib. What should I do? : A—Place a large soft doll beside her and pay no attention to her. Simply close the bedroom door and leave her alone with the doll. It may take several days to cof¥ince her that crying will not result in removing her from the crib.

Q—Is there any way to cook frankfurters except boiling or frying? : A—An excellent picnic or supper dish may be made by rolling frankfurters in pastry and baking in a hot oven, like tarts. A medium-sharp cheese may be grated over the pastry before placing the frankfurter on it. Seal the dough by moistening the

edges and pressing together,

JANE JORDAN

DE JANE JORDAN—I read your column daily and approve of he sensible way you answer each letter, but can one act so sensibly when the emotions are all in a jumble? Can one dictate to one’s|emotions and expect them to conform? Three years ago my husband, at 21, and I at 18, were married. We have been fairly happy and worked out most of our problems together. As far as I know my husband never has stepped out on‘me but he does get interested in other girls, especially when a certain type, which I am not, comes along. He flirts a little and watches the girl when he thinks he is unnoticed. ‘He even tries to quarrel with me at these times. When no young girls are around, no one could treat me better. He admits that he would date these girls if he were not married. Suppose he yields to temptation? * It would cut me to" the, quick. Worrying about it doesn’t help, but how can I ignore the possibility of losing my husband? I cannot analyze my emotions. I do know I feel unwanted, but have learned that my presence lends strength to my husband to resist the temptation. He knows he is free to get a divorce at any time. Other men are attracted to me. If my husband notices it he either flirts to the extreme, pouts, or pays more attention to me. It is vitally important to me to have this solved. Please helpme. Iam ” BEWILDERED.

Answer—To gain intellectual control of the emotions is not an easy task. It is easier for a person like you who recognizes the trouble, than for one who has repressed it with such severity that the conflict has dropped below conscious control. ; Your husband isn’t unusual at all. Most married men are attracted to other women. They aren’t naturally monogamous, but like change and variety. Actually there is more safety in mild flirtation than in rigid prohibitions. The man who is free to enjoy lively conversations with women friends is more apt to stop at that than the man who must meet an embattled wife every time he smiles at a pretty face. It also is quite usual for a man in the grip of guilty desires to try to pick a quarrel with his wife. If he can make her act like a shrew it gives him an excuse to say, “she drove me to it.” Be glad that you have charm for other men and see that you retain it. A man puts more value on a woman whom other men value. To flirt for spite is a rather cheap trick which invites retaliation, but to charm other men by your own graciousness is a source of power for you. Your task is to keep your marriage so satisfactory that your husband is willing to sacrifice his minor desires in order to maintain the major satisfaction of your approval. You do not have to condone irregular conduct. All you have to do is to make fidelity more desirable than cheating and you can’t do it by being depressed. JANE JORDAN.

CHILDREN

E hear a great deal about social attitude these days, and particularly about “anti-soeial” children. So I am going to do a little explaining. Any child who fears the world and thus dreads people, preferring his own company and his own way, is anti-social. This feeling of fear leads to defense. The ‘anti-social child thus becomes difficult to understand, as he defends himself in various ways. Sometimes he is a bully; again, a complete incorrigible. Or he may resort to whining complaint or try to set himself up by over-wistful-ness and ingratiation. : Trere is no fixed pattern for the anti-social child. He started out by being overly-sensitive, was given his way too much or not enough, learned to dislike what people stood for, and decided he did not like to be governed by the things other people accepted as law. The best cure I know of in general for the anti-social child, unless he is a real problem, is school, where he must mix with all types of children and learn that it is not hard to conform to rule. Once he sees 30 or 40 other children happy in their school lives, he may gain more confidence in the big world. He is hard on his teachers very often, resenting the regimentation she stands for. But a wise teacher, suspecting that her unruly or sullen child is suffering secretly from fear, and needs to have his confidence bolstered, can do wonders. Indeed, if it were but known, our public schools not only teach the “R’s”, but they have become real “behavior clinics.”

” ” ® . ” #® =

OT all the credit goes to the teacher, but to the system itself N that throws the child with other children every day. To be held «in the good graces of one’s fellow students, a child - knows he must be fair. Children are quick to speak their minds if they go too far. So he tries to keep in with them, and that is good for him. Once he discovers that he is liked and trusted, he loses his suspicion, and that, also, is good for him. If there is one child in the family who has never been able to get along in school, causes no end of trouble and still refuses to make the best of it, then I suggest that the mother go to one of the behavior clinics and ask advice.

BEAUTY

XPERTS agree that the mother who resolves that her babies will grow up to be attractive youngsters usually finds that they do. Your daughter may never be a real beauty, but if she has clear, fine skin, thick, glossy hair, perfect posture, nice teeth, attractive nails and is neither overweight nor underweight, she’ll be attractive. There are no two ways about it. And all of these fundamental points are every bit as important to your son. It won’t make him “sissy” to have straightening bands put on his teeth if he needs them or to be taught to stand and sit correctly or to file his nails occasionally and always keep them clean. General untidiness isn’t necessarily synonymous with manliness.

# 8 = 8 » 2

JNSTILL habits of cleanliness in your children while they are very little. You won’t want to make them STAY clean. But neither, will you let them STAY dirty. Mud pie stains are one thing. A perennially grimy neck is quite another. : . Your baby doctor no doubt will agree that olive oil is a fine thing for your little baby’s skin. When she’s a little older, you'll continue to put olive oil on her cheeks when she goes out to play in the snow, on her knees when she wears short socks on cold days. You'll clip the baby’s nails regularly. You may even do this little chore while she is sleeping. yin : Furthermore, youll attach proper img®rtance to your child’s first set of teeth. Your dentist will tell you that they should not be neglected simply because they are temporary. .
