DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am almost 16 and have been going steady with a boy of 18 for 11 months. We got along swell at first}

but lately all we do is quarrel. He says that if I really like him I will stay home every night except our date nights. I do stay home as he wants me to but he meets the boys he runs with almost every night and they all go out together. He never tells me when, where, or anything else about it. I don’t mind this so much, but even affer he leaves me he goes out with them and this makes me feel very funny. Don’t you think he should go home after our dates, anyway? I told him about it and he said that what he did after he left me was his business. I don’t think he is doing right, do ou?

Answer — What you instinctively feel is that the boy is more interested in running around with a gang of fellows than he is in you and his behavior indicates that this is true. Actually it is none of your business what he does after he leaves you, but conversely it is none of his business what you do when he is not with you. The is young but already he|his shows signs of becoming one of those men who expects & woman to stay put while he does as he pleases. The chances are that he will interpret any girl in terms of his mother who always is home when he wants her but who leaves him free to wander when and where he will. I trust that you see the handwriting on the wall. You have gone steady long enough, too long in fact, and it is high time that you looked for someone else. You are entirely too young to confine yourself to one boy. Now that you have begun to quarrel your cue is fo break off and look for a new interest.

DEAR JANE JORDAN — I have gone steady with a young man for one year and six months. We are deeply in love with each other and have made many Plans for the future. Recently he went to college and I found out that he had a date with another girl. He hasn't mentioned it to me nor have I mentioned it to him. We see each other every week. " Do you think that having a date now and then will lessen his love for me? Should I speak to him about it and come to some understanding? So far he seems fo love me just as much as ever. JULIA.

Answer—In my opinion you should encourage the young man to have other dates in college and you should exercise the same privilege yourself, I do not know whether this will lessen your love for each other or not. The only way you can find out is to put your affection to the test. If it holds out against the competition of others, well and good. If it does not, then you are lucky to have discovered this fact in time to make another adjustment. JANE JORDAN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Problem

iso » she smiled

The Parents’ Manual: A Guide the Emotional Development of Young Children was recently published. “A child has a right to expect a presty high standard of behavior in parents,” said Mrs. Wolf, “Yet, if it is unfair to demand perfection of a child, perhaps we should not demand it of ourselves either. A child might as well find out that we, too, are human. However, no instructions in good manners ‘can ever be a substitute for experience and observation. 2 2 2 “BUT THE MOTHER who wants advice about a problem husband who habitually refuses foods he does not fancy or leaves most of his por=tions on his plate, all this behind a propped-up newspaper or book is, in a way, a problem parent herself. She is making their children the butt of a private quarrel between her husband and herself which really should have nothing to do with the children. “A mother can always tell a questioning child. ‘You can’t do everything Daddy does, because you're not grown up yet. You can’t stay up as late as he does, you can’t have a cocktail, and he can.’ A child accepts those things-and also will be reasonable about eating food that Daddy won't. “But. there is a great deal of foolishness about food habits for children. I can think of mothing that a child shouldn’t be allowed to eat, except, of course, where there is a specific allergy, and that is true of adults as well. A child doesn’t need a balanced diet every meal or even every day, so long as there is longrange planning. j

“TO A LARGE extent children’s eating habits “are the product of their mother’s wisdom—or lack of it. The goal is not ‘to get food in’ but to foster whatever leads to pleasure in eating. “In an experiment several years ago to. determine whether very young children if given altogether free choice would select for themselves the right kind of food in the right quantities babies, who up to

sibilities for a balanced diet. They were left to make their own choice. It was impossible to predict what would be eaten at any given meal, but the children loved to eat, were

“I BELIEVE this experiment is a definite lesson to parents. It certainly suggests that most children are more likely to develop satisfactory food habits if left to their own devices, not driven to eat when they're not hungry. And children should not be bribed any more than forced to eat. «parents’ greatest mistake is to make an issue of anything. Don't let a child feel that what and how he eats is important. Avoid scenes and you avoid trouble,” Mrs. Wolf summarizes.

“Enjoy your children!” is her favorite advice to parents. She believes it is the most valuable thing they can do for their children. By that she does not intend children to be a “free show for the grownups’ entertainment.” - She does insist

Mrs. Wolf has Written uimerous magazine articles on child care and

dependence and responsibility, Mrs. Wolf’s contention. Bub don’t challenge a child with too radical choices such as: “If you don’t go outdoors and play like a nice boy Father won't take you to the circus tomorrow.” Restrict the decision to be made by a small child to such as: “It is time to go out now; do you want to take your skates or your scooter,” she admonishes. “Of course, not all the neurotic disturbances and faults of childhood can be blamed entirely on parents, but on the whole it is true that children who are not adjusted to the demands of living are found far more frequently in homes where there is adult maladjustment than in those in which the atmosphere is harmonious.” 1

WHEN YOU PUT your baby to bed at night or for his daytime naps, be sure he is protected from the danger of smothering, which each year kills about 1000 babies in the United States. in Most of these tragedies occur during the first six months of infancy,

is|life insurance statisticians report. The deaths are largely due fo smothering by bedclothes, to adults rolling over on infants and to, the infant sleeping with his head buried in the pillow. Experiments both with babies and laboratory animals show that it is impossible to smother a normal child under normal circumstances with a pillow or bed' clothing when the muffling is attempted abruptly, Dr. Jesse L. Carr, of the University of California and the San Francisco Coroner’s Office, reported fo the American Académy.of Pediatrics. Under sudden muffling, babies and children will struggle and scream and usually release themselves. During sleep, however, they Preathe into pillows, mattresses, bed clothing or other similar structures and in rebreathing their own expired air gradually build up a concentration of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide sufficient to cause partial suffocation and anesthesia. During this period, with vitality Ldefinitely lowered and-the ability to use their muscles reduced, Dr. Carr explained, suffocation and death occur by gradual muffling from the soft bed coverings, pillows and the like. x ita ca BABY SHOULD sleep. in a bed of

the side. Each year a certain number of babies die shortly afier feeding, Dr. Carr reports, because .they have regurgitated their food and then sucked it -into their breathing tract instead of- swallowing it when flying on their backs. Sleeping bags for small babies

|should fit snugly at the neck, so

there will be no danger of baby's head slipping through the collar into the bag. Many mothers use the kind of sleeping bag which fastens by tapes under the mattress, putting any extra blankets needed inside the bag, to keep the covers from getting over baby’s face. :

dating is going on all over couniry where there are army cam

chance on: romance. Some of the girls who sign up for army dances, of course, are just interested in an evening’s fun. But others are hopeful of finding lasting romance. Those who are hopeful of | turning a blind-date into a “boy friend” should remember that there are definite rules for dating blind, such as: 1. Take /the conversation lead when you are introduced-—as girls are usually better than men at making small talk. But don’t hang on to it too long. Once your young man is at ease, give him a chance to talk about whatever is on his mind—unless, of course, it’s the girl back home. 2 2 ¥

2. DON'T, TELL him all about yourself. Mike him work to find out what you are really like. ? 3. Let him think the idea of a second meeting is something he thought up but hasn’t occurred to you. Then he’ll feel that he’s pretty lucky when you agree to it. 4, Don’t arrange to meet him at a restaurant or movie, or offer to pick him up in your family’s car. Let him e to your house, and when he does introduce him to some

member of your family. Remember |

a girl on a blind-date is at a disadvantage so far as background is concerned. And so if she wants the

blind-date to turn into romance, she

should establish her background as soon as possible. The girl who follows these rules will steer a straight course even

though she is dating blind.
