March 14, 1940 Page Three 'C •imm Children Enjoy Housework When 'Helping Mother" Is Made Fun . • V -i w>}* § VV7HY do some children like housework, and why do others use all their Ingenuity to escape any part of the homemaking responsibility? There always have been children •who did their daily part in "helping mother" with full willingness and interest, just as others always have resisted any effort to bring them into the dally activities. Now psychologists tell why there even may be both kinds In one family. They explain, too, how mothers may interest children in being eager assistant homemakers, and how the junior members of the family can be kept that way. "Tie desire to play is uppermost in the minds of little children," the authorities point out. "The desire to imitate Is just as strong. The average little girl wants to do her washing when the family washing is done. She wants to iron when she sees the ironing being done. % "If she U given actual household articles, even only one or two handkerchiefs, to wash and iron, a start has been made toward arousing her interest In household responsibilities. "In the home with a household ironer, for example, It is, literally, 'child's play* for a little girl to watch her mother seated at the machine and then to begin taking over a share in each week's ironing. The imitative instinct and the play desire still are strong in her. The mother uses both to enlist the child in a routine feature of homemaking which is made pleasant for her by the fact that difficulty and drudger; have been banished from it." -- " Bnllding Doubles Remodeling Twice as much was spent last year in America fof new construction work as was spent for remodelfag, work, according to Harold M.

Harry Kipke, former University of Michigan football player, was one of the greatest of punters. He kicked 225 times during his career And never had one of thejn blocked. WASHINGTON.--Notable progress has been made in 1939 in answering some age-old mysteries of the science of life. Can plants lose their green color and still "eat"? How did primitive vegetable cells grow? Can a baby rabBit have only one parent? Summarizing some of the biological achievements during the past year, the National Geographic society says: "It has been believed that plants live by the absorptipii of the sun's energy which they stolre in the foods that they make, such as starches and sugars. The theory has been that plants can carry on this process (known as 'photosynthesis') only in the light, but Dr. E. D. McAIister, Smithsonian institution, found that it goes on in the dark as well. The process is regulated by a chemical as yet unknown. The action of the chemical, which is set in motion by light, creates a time lag, so that photosynthesis does not start immediately when light fails on the plant and continues after the plant is in the dark. Mysterious But Common. "The green matter in plants (chlorophyll) which enables them to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (starches, sugars, etc.) by means of sunlight, is one of the most common things in the world, and of the most mysterious. Study of this substance was further complicated when Drs. O. L. Inman, Antioch college, and A. F. Blakeslee, Carnegie institution of Washington, reported the discovery in jimson weed grown from X-rayed seed of a second type of chlorophyll. This is the first such discovery to be made. "Since the presence of chlorophyll ts regarded as the fundamental distinction between plant and animal life in the one-celled section of the biological world. Dr. Andre Lwoff's discovery in his laboratory at the Pasteur institute, Paris, that a single-celled plant can be forced to lose its green coloring, or chlorophyll, and to feed itself on vegetable matter was of especial significance. Further experiments may reveal how animal beings evolved from plant growth, so that life on earth was not restricted to vegetation. "One of the problems in studying plant life is the difficulty of isolating living plant* cells so that elemental life, not complicated by specialization, can be investigated. The first pure cell culture was believed to have been achieved by Dr. P. R. White, Rockefeller institute. The original substance was a bit of primitive cell material about the size of a grain of mustard, cut from a wartlike bump on a tobacco plant. In theory at least, if the cells had been provided with ideal food and not smothered by their fellows, (that is if part of the growth had not been periodically discarded) the culture would have developed into a mass 600,000,000 miles in diameter within 40 weeks. A risk Just the SuHr "A fish caught off the tip of South America was found to be a coelacanth. This type of fish was previously believed to have been extinct for 60,000 years. The identification was made by Dr. J. L. B. Smith, Rhodes university college, Glrahamstown, South Africa. "Rhesus monkeys, most useful of all animals to medical research workers in the study of such diseases as infantile paralysis, tuberculosis, and leprosy, proved to be good pioneers. In an effort to obtain the animals more cheaply for research in America, a number of these 'jungle folk' were taken from their native India to Santiago island, a half mile off San Juan, Puerto Rico. Within less than a year nearly 100 monkeys have been bom in the colony. "Climaxing years of research, Dr. Gregory Pincus, Clark university, was able' to bring to normal birth a rabbit which was produced with only one parent (by scientifically induced parthenogenesis). The ovum from which the fatherless rabbit developed was not fertilized in the usual manner but was subjected to a saline solution and heat, and was then implanted in a 'host' female rabbit. By the laws of heredity only female offspring can result from this procedure. The fatherless rabbit has already produced a litter of young in the ordinary Popular Marriage Age Younger Now in Britain LONDON.--While war has doubled and trebled the number of mai> riages, it also has made sweeping reductions in the marrying age here. The prewar marrying age was drifting perilously near the 30-upward stages, but it has gone back with a bound to the early 20s. Two young women--Miss Mary Oliver and Miss Heather Jenny--who started a marriage bureau several months ago--are doing such a prosperous trade that they have put up, as an additional lure, a $200 bonus to babies born of weddings arranged by them within the first year of w«, the only condition being that the father must be in the fighting forces Goarult the, WANT ADS SLOCUM'S LAKE Harvey Obenauf of Libertyville spent the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wlagner.
