Yo si | Treat Children's 'Fears Seriously Sympathy and Understanding Required In Dealing With Toddler From -two-to three is a time of great emotional development in a baby's life, Tt Is then that little fears begin to crop up, fear of the darkness, fear of falling, fear of strangors in the case of a shy child Everything depends upon the way mother hapdles these fears. Too strict a hand will defeat its own purpose, Fear of darkness, for fnstauce, is very real to some chil dren. To Insist that a sensitive child must never have a light dur- fng the night will lay the founda: tion for a very unstable, nervous disposition in later life, It causes "night terrors." And mother has only herself to blame if fear, of the darkness gives rise to fits of loud screaming accounts of "bogeyman" and "things that go bump in the night." A child who wants a light at night should have it. A nightlight is Ideal, or if there Is a light burn. ing on the landing, a child's bed- room door can be left open so that he is not afraid. If mother makes no fuss about it at all and gives a light as il it were the natural thing to do, she will probably find that tho fear of darkness passes ns the baby grows older. 1] ( \ It Makes a Nicer Cool Drink a a Neer Coo rm . y = '| i Kingd Sy Ing om " u OREN ARNOLD Gd 1 CAST OF.

It you don't you're part of the hatless 'trend, and the cause of sleepless nights for milliners, The trend has cut {nto millinery sales.

The Millin- ery = Stabilization ' Committee, to which most of them belong, has, set up a bureau to find the cause of the hatless trend and to combat it. Why don't you wear a hat when you should, they'd like to know? The milliners are doing something about it. They've enlisted the sup- port of dealers, movie producers and college boys: They say the mov- fe people promise to make film stars wear hats more often, College boys are writing pro-hat editorials In campus newspapers, saylng men don't like hatless women, "We .re starting a girlcott against girls who boycott hats."

It is the strange fusion of souls, of spiritual entities in man and woman, when consciousness of love is declared, mutual. and sincere, It grows with a sudden ecstatic surge, thence in a gentle and somehow staccato harmony, ever increasing, never reaching an end of its own accord. It is as old as Adam, but cach man must dis- _cover it for himself. Robert Barry discovered it there when death was hovering, when he fully be- lieved that both he and Melissa were losing their minds. They had been lost in utter darkness for many hours, per- haps several days. They could not even guess how long. They had slept at times, fitfully. Em- braging each other nowy in the |. most sacred of moments, they re- mained silent and very still. Sec- onds passed--Bob knew not how many--and then suddenly Bob got 'a grip on himeelf. He saw himself as a whimpering baby afraid of the dark. Anger re- placed fear. Then his trained mind took command. * * * The Rescue Party "Why, I'm not hysterical!' He murmured it to himself, even as he held Mary Melissa -there. "On the contrary, I feel remarkably _calm'. He shook his head, as if to clear his eyes of the darkness, He, looked behind him .again, which would be down. " 'LISSA!" He almost shrieked it. " 'Lissal" He was: tense .with excitement again. But he forced himself to be analytical, critical of his own ractions. - No, this was nct hy:- teria, © " LISSA! That IS 'a light! Look--HEY! HEY! HELP!" Thirst had muted his voice ter- ribly, but he made all the noise he could. He threw rocks. 'Lissa yelleditoo, and between them they made 'a din of it. Voices answered, from far be- low. The two understood no word, but they were suffused with' happiness. Salvation seemed at hand. They were almost hys- tercial : with anticipation now. "It's Hades Jones! It's Jones! And Holliman! They, must. have found an outlet hole below some- where. They're coming! Oh, 'Lissa, they've found us! They--" She too was. talking, jabber- ing. They called and hallowed, and hugged each other as the lights grew stronger. Help was approaching. They dared not move much, lest they fall over the ledge, but they squirmed in righteous glee. A The rescue party was slow in approaching. It had been far -be- low, and the lights disappeared the men moved around. ; rock formations. They flickered, too, Bob saw.

"Are you--all right? Do you see what 1 do? I mean, are we out of our minds? Is this another nightmare after all?" = LN "NO! No, I'm sure! But I don't know what. It's nct our party, that's certain. Stand still, and watch. HELLO THERE! WHO IS IT? WE NEED HELP!" Somebody answered immediat- ly, but--in a strange tongue! Bob was utterly amazed. He was a linguist. He spoke Span- ish, the Mexican dialects of it, not to mention the ordinary In- dian languages of southwestern tribes. But this garble was for- cign to him, And the men them- selves, slowly apprecaching, were foreign. The whole thing was sible, It was a scene from some weird, imaginative fairy tale, a bit of stage imagery, theatricai and impressive and almost dev- ilish, Bob was breathing hard, and he could feel 'Lisza tremb- ling. - * 'Good Lord!' He mumbled it, "I never knew it would be this way." But in the same knew it was real! The light was visible. The men were tangible. They were brown men, * he could see now, which impos- Dy moment he would most likely make them [n- dians. But the setting, the utter- ly fantastic circumstance--it was something to read by a fireside and scoff at, or a bit of trickery from Hollywood, except for the | - salient fact that the brown people approaching: were absolutely- alive, and that his own mind was now as clear and. alert as he had ever known it to be. t * * * From A Lost, World The strangers spoke repeat. edly to him. Some of them, he noted, held weapons; rather well made, weapons of * natural sticks and. stones. - They wore scant. clothing, mostly. loin. cloths: and a crude sort of sandals. They were muscular men, and they were graceful, but they were not menacing. They tried time and again to communicate with Bob and: Me-. | lissa, one man especially. doing the talking. Bob talked back, in all the dialects he knew, but in vain, ! ; Then he motioned for water---' and got .it. - Some man had brought a skin container, from which 'Lissa then Bob drank and asked no ques- tions. Bob forced her to take it swallow at a time, with long waits between, lest she suffer spasms of sickness and .pain, Somewhere -he had forturttely heard this warning, probably. from old _Hades. They got food, too, a dried --meat. It was hard, and unsalted, but it was an ambrosia. Bob then thought to divide the last amall piece of chocolate candy with, Lissa, but suddenly thrust it at! the man who appeared to be lead.: er, The brown man sniffed it, + tasted it, ate it then with child. ish 'glee, All the brown men had been staring with a consuming curiosity, 'at: white skin, at cloth ing, "(at Maty Melissa: especially, Finally they signaled to the two to: come, heading back down the. trail, "I suppose 'we'll awaken after" a while, honey," Bob grinned and. held her as they walked, 'But. whatever this is, it's one to write down in| the books!" £5 2 , She: gave. no, answer. She was too overwhelmed. = (To Be Continued) Fewer Canadian Mothers Are Dying at Childbirth Survey Shows The maternal death rate in Can. ada last year was the lowest on re- -cord at 4.2 each 1,000 live births, the Maternal Welfare Committee reported at the annual convention of the Canadian Medical Associa. tion. - Three undesignated provinces had a death rate of less than three each - per 1,000, and there was reduction in all provinces for deaths of new- born babfes, the report stated.
