- CHILDREN

By OLIVE BARTON

BY THIS TIME, if Mary has been in school for two or more years, parents should know pretty well just what studies are hardest for her. A glance at past reports will tell the story. Or it may be that Mary lost some time last term through illness and has never quite made up the work. It is never difficult to tell what - rocks-are ahead, and knowing this you may be able to help over the rough places. In this case it is wise to talk to the teacher who had her last year. She will be able to.tell you what Mary's weakness was, or. explain the work that has been skipped.

Then, a bit at a time, on Saturdays or on evenings before regular home work begins in earnest, it is -fine policy to do some coaching. No house is secure if one or two stones are left out of the foundation, and no school work can be expected to stand up well where they have been holes in former studies. * Many children go through’ thelr entire school life in a state of mental confusion about one study. They get the name of being slow in arithmetic, for example, when the real trouble was that they ‘failed to comprehend fractions at the time, for some reason.’ Not getting that part of it straight, they floundered pitifully. thereafter. The feeling of groping sgpread to other problems and they set up a wall against all figuring. This is the psychological result of missing an important part of school work. Sometimes a child falls on careless ways and is not accurate in his work. At home we can teach him the importance of ac‘curacy. He must learn to dot “1's” and cross “T’s” and place decimals where they belong. "must see that in adding, colu ‘have to be straight. There

A chic substitute for the simple, neatly embroidered little collar which came with the basic frock might be one of those fluffy, lacy jabot and collar effects which were copied from photographs in old albums.

Council Hears Of Unity Plan

Plans for a co-ordinating committee representing Indianapolis women’s groups to seek .improvement of the City’s recreational program were outlined to the Indianapolis Council of Women today by|2 Mrs. C. Severin Buschmann and Miss Gertrude Brown, members of the Mayor's Recreation Advisory Committee. The projected program calls for unification of activities on recreation by the Council, the ParentTeacher Associations and other local women’s organizations. If adopted and carried through, the suggested plan may bring a concerted drive for adoption of the merit system in the selection of Park Board employees. The Council, meeting in Ayres’ Auditorium, also heard talks by Dr: John G. Benson and Charles! Ww. Chase. Dr.. Benson, head of Methodist Hospital and vice president of the Smoke Abatemant League, compared the problem of cleaning the air with that of obtaining pure water. ; “All we want,” he said, “is air at least as near pure as our water. We are breathing filth for lack of social co-operation.” Fred G. Bales will talk at the afternoon session on “The Fiddler and the Fire.” Luncheon was served at 12:30 p. m. Mrs. Hugh Scudder, legislative .committee chairman, will make a report on her committee’s activities and will read its correspondence.

QUESTION BOX

-Q—How may fruit stains be re-

fabrics?

- A—Spread the stained garment over a bowl filled with steaming hot water, to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Then apply peroxide of hydrogen from a medicine dropper at about 5minute” intervals. Whether this treatment will fade colors depends on the dye in the fabric and can be determined only by trial on an unexposed part of the material. If the stain is old and has become dark, apply, alternately, dilute acetic acid or vinegar, and boiling water.

Q—Can you suggest a way to eliminate weeds in walks and drives?

A—They usually can be controlled by spraying a solution of 2% pounds of salt to each gallon of water. The herbicide should be strictly confined to the area one wants to rid of plant life. There are a number of proprietary. weed-killing herbicides available. Weeds may also be killed by directing a blow-torch flame ‘on them when the ground is dry.

Q—When substituting brown sugar for granulated white sugar, what proportions should be used? A—About one and one-fourth cups of brown sugar equals one cup Yotf granulated sugar.

Q—How may I prevent colors from running in a silk scarf? A—Use lukewarm suds for washing, rinse in the same temperature water and roll the scarf in a turkish towel. Be sure that a fold of the towel lies on each side of the

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. (NEA) —It’s no use feeling sorry for worrying, ‘mothers whose debutante daughters go tearing arouhd to parties almost

Leaves Decisions to Them

Mrs. Plunkett doesn’t believe in laying down the law.to the fledglings. “I take the attitude that when a girl is through school she is sufficiently advanced to be considered an adult woman being. You can’t say to her, ‘You do as I say because I say it.’ They're too intelligent for that. ! “You can tell them what you think is right then leave decisions to their judgment. I began doing that when my son and two daughters were children. If I couldn't bring up my own child so that she will respect my opinion and-regard me as a friend, it would be just too ba a.” .

They Don’t Like Liquor .

“They don’t go to parties every night,” Mrs. Plunkett defended. “No person could do all the things that are on Patricia’s calendar during the winter weeks, and she just won't try. A girl gets too tired if she goes to more than three a week; then she | gets colds or gets sick, and that isn% fun.” She said that her daughter invariably checks in at mother’s room and tells what happened at the eve-

Another thing: All the debs she knows, except a very few very wealthy one, want to be good at some kind of work. “My goodness! A boy out of Yale and the Harvard Business School probably doesn’t earn more than $30 a week. Girls are sensible about admitting that they may have to do their share of the earning” she said. “They're pretty level-headed.”
