Fewer "crybabies" among
children now, m'liss writes

Despite Critics of the Modernists, New Way of
Training Youngsters Thus Far Shows
Advantage Over Old Method
IN A day -when the old folks have raised
their hand? in an nttlludo Of holy
horror at alt things that pertain to tho
modern child, h Is gratifying to know
that bo eminent a man as tor. Abraham
fclexner, of the General Education Board
ef the Rockefeller Foundation) believes
the child of the present day to be better
mannered than tho product of a bygone
age,
"The old-fashioned obedient youngster
Is gone.' Doctor Flexner Is quoted as say
ing, "but what wo have got in his place,
in my opinion, Is a far bettor product. As
I look back on my own childhood and
remember tho manners of my contempo
raries I must say that tho child of this
day, oven my own children, havo far bet
ter manners than I had In my time.
"Tho educational system pays a great
deal of attontlon at tho present tlmo to
tho teaching of real manners, and any
modern system of education which may,
to tho outsldo mind, upset the regular
routine of dtsclpllno will not result in
any deterioration of tho child's manners
If tho teachers proceed with tho proper
respect for tho dignity of tho individual
child."
Dignity of tho Individual child! Shades
Of our grandmothers! When In tho old
days was a youngster credited with hav
ing any individuality, much less dignity?
Even thoso parents who woro not qulto
certain in their minds as to the wisdom
of corporal punishment and who woro
wont to sparo tho rod moro ofton than
their neighbors approved of brought
their children up with the bollef that they
hould bo seen and not heard.
In thoso days, though one's daddy said
black was whlto, to contradict him was
treason. Moreover, such a contradiction
wns fraught with grave consequences.
Ono or all of sovcraf catastrophe-! wero
urojto descond upon him. Thero was
tho prospect of a sovero paddling, or of
being sent to bod without one's suppor,
or of being shut up In a dark closet and
being scared half to death.

Trinidad's Asphalt Lake
Is It true that the aspmtltum lako In Trinidad
la bottomless and that It Is making now
asphalt all tho timet Where does It coma
from? And how thick Is tho crustT And how
wldo Is tho lake? Or Is It but n traveler's
' table, after all. that thero la such a lake?
J. M. S.
There Is certainly such a lake, but It Is
not making new asphalt all tho time.
Asphalt was once liquid petroleum, and
centuries are required to make It solid,
or so we aro told. The lake Is about
a hundred acres In extent Nobody knows
how deep. Some years ago It was bored
Into to a depth of 13G feet without reach
ing the bottom. Thcso Items are taken
from a recent magazlno article by a traveled
author of note. You may accept them upon
his authority. 'The Trinidad asphalt lake"
is one of tho mysterious wonders of nature,

mous, Contrast the old with the new
methods. Picture to yourself a modern
mother sending her child to bed without
Its suppor. The neighbors would call In
tho authorities to stay her cruelty.
"Control yourself before you attempt
to control a youngster," is tho now doc
trine dinned Into tho ears of thoso who
havo no patience with moral suasion and
would resort to tho old slipper tyranny
to curb tho ebullience of tho young.
Tho modern child Is heard on all occa
sions. All stop to listen to its viows. Its
remarks on eugenics or dietetics are re
garded na cuto and worth hearing. Im
pudence and impertinence In many cases
pass for precocity and "smai'tnes." But
oven so, It Is as Doctor Klexner has" said.
Much good has come In with tho new way
of training children. It may bo that
they lack somo of tho shyness which was
tho first qualification of tho well-bred
child of yesterday, but they havo gained
In Its placo a confidence which, If prop
orly wntchod, doci not ncceswirily de
velop Into annoying forwardness.
Certainly there aro fewer crybabies
ntnong tho modern children. ThH may
bo attributable to tho fact that mothers
now ralso their children according to
sciontlllc principles rather than according
to tho old traditions. Kvon tho slum
mothers havo acquired a rudimentary
knowledge of food values and hygiene
All of which you will say has nothing
whatever to do with manners. Hut thoio
you aro wrong. Good behavior in a
child depends on Its stato of health first
of all, for it li another modem "notion"
that all disobedience, stubbornness and
refractoriness can bo traced back to somo
physical ailment, and although tho
mother of 25 or GO years ago would havo
laughed In your faco had you told lur

Keeping Foods Without Ice
City families really have few troubles In
regard to preserving their meat supply as
compared to those who live In the country.
But many of us venture forth to the country
or tho woods for our summer outing, and the
problem of keeping the meat supply fresh
without a dally Ico supply looms up for the
first time.
Nature Is becoming more productive each
season and exact knowledge of what condi
tions are harmful to her bounty Interests
people as never before. It Is only by such
close attention to agricultural problems that
enough food can be secured to feed our
growing population. Now It Is time that
the housekeeper took an active Interest In
foods and their preservation, not by canning
and preserving particularly, but by saving
the' foods that are plentiful now against
the coming winter when the prices begin to
soar.
Foods spoil because of the living organ
isms that feed on them and change them
so they are unfit for human consumption.
These organisms are destroyed by steriliza
tion. Canning, preserving and such pro.
cemea are only successful when the steril
izing process is complete and no germs are
left in the food.
Food that Is stored In cool cellars, hung
In wells or near running water can only be
kept wholesome and palatable when closely
covered. This protects it from the air and
from Insects.
Meat Is the most difficult of alt foods to
keep. Small quantities are usually pur
chased to preserve the meat, although this
Is an expensive process. Veal Is the hardest
of meats to keep in edible condition, then
chicken, lamb and fish.
Cook your meats as soon as possible after
buying them. It Is an economical process,
for If you cook by gas or coal It takes but
one cooking to do them you can cook 10
roasts as economically as you can cook one,
since It takes the same time and the same
amount of fuel. Cooking destroys all the
organisms that cause decay. Reheat fre
quently only safeguards your meats. One
housewife does her week's roasts and meats
every Saturday during the hot weather.
If meat or food of any kind la kept en
tirely away from all air it will spoil A
perforated lid on the container vill admit
air to circulate. Crockery or earthenware
dishes, once thoroughly chilled', are the best
containers for food that must be kept fresh
without th use of ice. These crocks must
be set In some other receptacle and runs
nlng water supplied to them. s0 that the
contents are kept quite cold, or you can
wrap cloths wrung out of cold water around
the crocks and sink them In the ground
All foods may be kept in cans, of course,
even meats: may be preserved this way after
proper sterilization, although it is better
to set fresh meat and cook it or to eat it
once or twlae a week with vegetables and
fealadj in between. The amateur sterilizer
is Ukely to spoil more than tie navej.

Where Is the Rag-Bag?
Every well-regulated family of half a
century ago had a rag-bag. Perhaps you
remember It, for the rag-bag has really only
disappeared since the last two decades. In
the country the farmer's wife purchased
her supply of tinware from an Itinerant
peddler, exchanging her well-stuffed rag.
bag for It. But the rag-bag has gone where
the tinware went, nobody knows where.
The city housewife has also banished the
rag-bag. thus getting rid of a goodly sup.
ply of moths and bugs. Now, after all this
Is done, comes the Department of Commerce
urg ng us to keep our old rags and waste
papers, because we waste too many things.
It Is said to be very lucrative to save rags
If you get enough of them, so start your

CliARITY AND CHILDREN
HER HOBBIES, DECLARES
FOUNDER OF 'CHILD DAY'
Rabbi's Daughter, Originator of
Idea, to Bring Youthful Prob
lems Into View, Explains
Thought
MISS ARMHOLD PLEASED
"Charity and children havo always been
my two hobbles," declared Miss Nettlo
Armhold, tho originator of the National
Children's Day, at tho Nixon Apartments,
her Atlantlo City residence. "Now pleaso
don't let people think I am prude," she
haBtlly added. "I lovo a good tlmo nnd lots
of parties.
"I mippone It sccmi strange that a bach
elor girl should want to hno a day sot
nsldn to consider the problems of tho little
folks, but 1 have always been Interested In
children, although 1 am free to comfess
that I don't think very much of the present
generation. However, poor kiddles. It's not
their fault. I believe If wo nan moro
womanly women wo would havo better
mannorcd children.
To my mind, tho greatest fault of par
ents Is that they refuse to pay any atten
tion to the arguments of tho younger mem
bers of tho family. Very often, when a
child has apparently been naughty, It has
been through a lack of understanding
rather than wilful disobedience. Few
mothers will tnko tho time to listen to the
explanations of their children "
Mlts Armhold has taken a most attract
ive little girl of 10 years to Itvo with her,
so sho Ii not without feme knowledge of tho
all-absorbing child problem.
Then, again. Miss Armhold, who Is tho
daughter of Rnbbl Armhold, who recently
celebrntfd his 87th birthday, haB nlways
worked with young people. Sho helped to
organize street services for children of tho
slums, beginning with OB In one of the
poorest districts of Philadelphia, and In a
few months had a club of 400 Juvenllcn.
who met once a week for a religious serv
ice, which Included a ton-mlnutos talk by a
minister or a prominent layman. Onco a
month tho kiddle wero Invited to a party,
for Miss Armhold bollovos In giving pleas
uio as well ns alms.
"I am not planning any gonernl celebra
tion for September 1, to bo known as the
National Children's Day. I Just wnnt to
bring tho subject of child welfare beforo
tho public ahd let each Individual think
out what ho or she can do for tho boys
and girls nearest them.
"I nm Issuing buttons, which will be sold
for 5 cents npteco or $12 a thousand. They
picture a golden-hnlrcd child with a red
roso in her hand against tho background
of tho American ling. Tho roso Bymbollzes
charity ; tho Hag, freedom, nnd tho child,
love.
"Last year wo had a tag day for somo
of tho children's Institutions; but I didn't
llko tho Idea. I don't want Children's Day
to emphnslzo tho raising of money for tho
poor little unfortunates, as much as I want
to bring before tho minds of tho people
the need of personal service.
"For Instance, If you are musical, or aro
a good reader, sot aside a certain part of
your time for tho entertainment of chil
dren In an Institution near you, or maybe
you can plan an outing for them, or Interest
some nmusement house In giving them a
treat. Any federatod charity will supply
you with names of children's Institutions,
or will tell you of families whera children
are In want.
"I am having pledge cards printed to be
distributed. On one stdo will be a pledge,
reading. I pledgo myself to do ."
And for the other side I have selected this
saying:
Do not keep the albaster boxes of your lovo
and tenderness sealed up until your friends are
dead. Fill tlielr Uvea with sweetness, Bptak
approvtnr. cheerlne words while their cars can

"Do you see that picture to the right?"
she asked, pointing to a postcard of a little
boy without his legs, seated on a bench,
"I raised (360 to buy that lad a pair of legs.
Just below you will Bee how well he looks
with his legs," And there was a picture of
the same boy, looking radiantly happy with
his newly acquired redal extremities.
"I know a boy out In Kensington to
whom I have promised a pair of legs ; but
will have to ralso more than JS50 for him,
for the price of legs, as well as everything
else, has gone up,"
She related other Interesting stories nbout
her various proteges. Pausing before tho
pictures of the late Mrs. Ilose Krauskopf, of
Philadelphia, and the late Mrs. Hertha
Itayner Frank, who did so much charity
work In Baltimore, she said:
"These two women have been my inspira
tion. I feel that much that I have accom
plished has beep due to the friendship of
those two noble characters. Itabbl Kraus
kopf has always been my faithful teacher.
The wise council of Peter Doyle, Journalist,
has also been most helpful, and hero Is an
other Inspiration." she added, as bhe picked
up a painting of Christ standing on the
table. "I am a great admirer of Christ,"

Advice About Ice Water
Do you take Ice water with your meals?
It Isn't it good thing to do, but most poop o
do It in hot weather. It Is no moro troublo
to do tho thing properly than It Is to go
to tho refrigerator and hew a pleco of Ice.
wash It and put It In tho drinking water.
"Whatever your method, there Is no doubt
nbout tho fact that the gcnernl health of
the family during the warm weather de
pends to a great extent on their methods of
chilling "Ico water."
Water cooled by dropping Ice Into It Is
harmful. The reason Is apparent. You
do not know whether the ico Is pure or not,
It la certain to contain Innumerable germs.
Freezing doesn't lessen their nctlvity, It
suspends them temporarily, but Just as
your water becomes icy, tho Ico that made
It so has thousands of freed germs, waiting
and nnxlous to do their deadly work 1
Chill tho wntor, do not Ico it Hither dls
tilled or boiled water that has been allowed
to cool is placed near tho Ico In bottles nnd
allowed to chill. One Ingonuous mother
who knows how the little folks llko to make
Ico water nnd suck tho Ice, keeps her side
board supplied with a vacuum bottle In
which sho. has boiled, chilled water. This
keeps tho youngsters supplied with cool
water, but not Icy water to upset their
digestions. It Is a bit of troublo, but it's
health Insurance.
