A much better angle at which to perch n hat, when a more rejuven- ating effect is desired. is a slight- ly backward tilt or a side slant that looks saucy,

If you don't believe that a_hat is capable of adding tn the ap- parent years of a face, try angling one completely forward on the head of an obliging youngster. You'll discover that’ even a l5- year-old will look like twice her age if you pull forward the hat that you put on her head so that it hides a good part of her face.

We came to the last of our hay- ing this morning. "No more!" James said tipping back his hat to wipe his brow,‘ when the help- ers suggested entering another field of it.“tliat's the end of it for me!“ As a farewell gesture. we drove the mare in the lift for a final load. and with this re- linquishecl all the delight: of the season-the dewy sun-klst morn- ings we had come to. the serene. evenings.

All this we bade a lingering Good- bye with that last load this morning. “No". James commented. "long or short Winter, lean year or fat ycar to follow.

And the younger men went in the afternoon with Mr. A. and his helper to lend their assistance to a neighbor, whom the continued cloudiness of the day was warn- inlZ to ilet last loads of his under cover. James with scant time out for leisure by way of celebrating the cnd of haying for us. hitched our own mare in the farm-cart, and went briskly to add to our rows of stored wood. A warm still day it was, attended by low- hanging clouds, but as we agreed remembering that recently the sun had been too hot for our comfort at out of door tasks "just the one we wanted” and with every add- ed load tucked safely away against Winter's storms and cold we were grateful for the inspiration which had selected this work for our hands.

"You know. Ellen" James re- marked picking up a handful of small sticks to leave the place tidy, mid backing the mare nearer the heap, “it's not going to be Sum- mer always. I doubt if we could get the wood in better condition for saving than it is today." "No". we assented, wondering if James. sympathetic as he can be, could catch our long sigh. “it's not go- lnlz to be Sunlmer always."

Doling Grandparents

Parental Training Disrupted By Unwise Indulgences

DEAR MISS DIX: How can one protect one's children from doting grandparents? How can one kecp grandparents from actually killing their children by giving them food that upsets the children's diges- tions and makes them sick? Why do people who have disciplined their own children spoil their grandchildren to death?

My wife's parents have come to live with us and they are absolutely ruining an unusually fine child and we are helpless to do anything ln the matter. All of the child's habits have been broken up. He goes into tantrums to get what he wants, which he never did before, and when we attempt to control him his grandparents undo all our work by pitying him and making him feel he is a little martyr. I know a lot of other young parents who are going through this same experience and we don't know what to do because we don't want to hurt the old ‘people.

W. E. B.

ANSWER: l heard a famous baby doctor once say that the greatest curse that any child ever had was grandparents and maiden aunts and that these killed more children every ycar than disease did.

Perhaps that ls not as exaggerated a statement as it sounds. All of us have seen a poor baby kissed into hysteria by doting aunts and we have seen grandma surreptitiously slipping candies and sweet- meats, to anemic and dyspeptic little Mamie and Johnny, that laid them low with stomach disorders n fcw hours latcr.

it is a matter of common knowledge that many grandpaiants re- gard the modern method of child-rearing with scorn and contumely and look upon the baby book which ls the young parent's Bible, as a heretical document that should be burned at the stake. Why, tho very idea of refusing to wake the baby when Aunt Sully and Cousin Susie have just come in to see it is perfectly ridiculous. And refus- ing ta let it have even a teensy-weensy bit of candy or Just a morsel of cake! New-fangled nonsense that is awful when your daughter does it and positively criminal when your daughter-in-lziw does!

Didn't they raise a big family without all this torrffoolcry? Well. they lost three or four babies, but that was the Lord's will and had nothing to do with sterilized milk or tomato juice. Didn't their chil- dren turn out pretty well, though nobody had ever heard about child- psychology in those days or bothered with such nonsense as fixing the pattern of a child's life in the cradle?

So there you are, and it is the old school of child-rearing against the new, with the old thinking, that they know best, and the youni keen for experimentation. . .

Teach a child regulawhabits. Teach it that screaming gets it no- where. Teach it that there are things that it cannot have because they are not good for it. Teach it patience and courage. These are all invaluable lessons and it is a pity that grandparents try so hard to nullify them with their spoiling. It took those of us of the last generation half a lifetime to get over the way we were raised and for life to give us the discipline that our parents should have given us.

Grandparents regard their grandchildren as delightful playthlngs provided by Providence for their amusement and diversion .They feel they have no responsibility for them. so they are at liberty to spoil them and leave their parents undo the harm they have done As we grow older, we have an immense pity and tenderness for children as we realize all the stress and storm of life that they are bound to go through. They seem so little and so helpless that we have an overwhelming desire to shelter them. to protect them. to in- dulge them in their heart's desire, to give them all the happiness we can before they encounter the hardships they must meet.

DOROTHY DIX '

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am a young man of 25 years old and have done much thinking concerning this thing called life. Is life really worth carrying on now or in the future considering the trend of busi- ness and living conditions? What chance has a young man with lim- ited capital to start on?_

OBSERVER

ANSWER: Every generation of young men has thought that things were easier l_n the past than they are now, but the way has always opened up for men of ability and energy. So don't be down-hearted. Put your heart and your back in your work and you will succeed. DOROTHY DIX

That‘ Body ' Of Yours

James W. Barton. M. D. 0%

TEACHING THE DEDICAL STUD- ENT TO STUDY THE PEI? SONALITY OF THE PATIENT

One of the benefits of World War H is the importance now at- tached to the emotions and their effect upon the whole body. Most of us n0w know that an infected tooth, a sluggish gallbladder or a lazy bowel can affect our physical and mental ability and make us cowards at times.

What we were just finding out during World War 1 and thor- oughly learned during and since world War II is that just as phy- sical dlsabilities affected us men- tally and emotionally, so can men- tal and emotional disturbances af- fect every organ in the body and interfere with its proper function.

When we speak of neurology we mean the brain and nervous sys- tem nad how they work an‘: how any change in structure causes symptoms. When we speak of psy- chiatry we mean the odd behavior of the individual—double person- ability, obsessions. illusions or ex- citable and depressed moods. There ls no change in structure in a psy- chiatric case but there is a change in behavior due to some condition in home. school, factory or office which arouses the emotions and causes a change in the personality of the individual.

Because of the effect of the emo- tions on the behavior of the indivi- dual which actually causes a change iii the action of an organ or organs, medical schools are now giving more time and attention to psy- chiatry.

Most physicians of middle age remember when the course in psy- chiatry was short. a few months at most, while the course in neurology (structure of brain and nerves; was much longer. Today the course in neurology is not shortened but the course in psychiatry is greatly lengthened.

Instead of a few lectures in PSY- chiatry during the final year in medicine it is now taught in all medical schools during the two final years. in fact Dr. William Mala» mud. Boston, profgessor of neurol- ogy and psychiatry. Boston Univer- sity School of Medicine, in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation states that the leaching of psychiatry should begin in the first year of the medical course. Since the medical student will meet normal and abnormalpatients. lie will learn to the different types oi personality and how certain per-l sonalitles react. not only to dis-l ease. but to the everyday respon- slbilitles of life.
