I have a fine home, fine parents, have everything I want, but some times I’m so blue that the tears just roll down my cheeks. I am in High School, have plenty of girl friends, and favorite looks from a number of boys. I love good times, and usually have them. It happens that some of my very best girl friends have been chosen by certain boys to be their favor ites, although they do not give up others they know, of course. No 'dCne has particulary done this to ^ne. I w'ould love to have one boy standing above the rest in my estimation, and not feel them all the same. How can this be done? Thanking you very kindly for the Information in advance. BROWN-EYED SUE. BROWN-EYED SUE: Instead of being sad you should be happy, my dear. You have many advantages and not the least of them is the host of good friends you talk about. And, Sue, don’t worry about not having a boy-friend “to stand above all the others.” It is very foolish for a girl in high school to devote all of her time to one boy. The fact that you have many friends attests your popularity, and that is all you should ask for some time to come. Try to look on the happier side of life, dear. Forget the boys in any light but that of good playfellows. KISSES SPEAK ^NnSnTS 'WORDS When your little ones are half tick, out-of-sorts, they can seldom -sill you what is wrong.

Babies Are Spoiled Within an Hour Of Birth, Psychologist Discovers 11 I,,. —i |<p|; - » i Three slumbering infants and, inset, Dr. Sadler By ROY J. GIBBONS CHICAGO, July 3.—It’s not the first hundred years that are the hardest, but the first hour of life. Spoil a child during those 60 min utes and he stays spoiled to the grave in 75 out of 100 cables, ac cording to Dr. W. S. Sadler, eminent psychologist and director of the Chicago institute of research and di agnosis. Don't pamper him during the crit ical hour after birth and he’ll grow from a little man into a big one, able to take and give knocks with the best of his fellows. Must Be Forced to Work “The subconscious mind has got most of us tricked,” Dr. Sadler ex plained. “Man is not naturally a working animal. He’s a fighting and hunting animal, and he’s learned to be a playing animal, but he will not work unless forced to it. “When a baby is born, the cold air strikes it and it has to breathe. It doesn’t like to because breathing is work. Because it feels cold, it cries. Almost at once it gets a warm blanket wrapped about it. “It is hungry and it lets out an other howl. Baby is fed. Next the baby misses the swaying movement he has become accustomed to in ges tation and it squalls some more. Someone hastens to rock it. “Finally, it misses the rythmic, surging of blood through its moth er's veins, the regular syncopatic throb of the blood beat it has known for months. Mother begins to sing a lullaby and the infant is satisfied. “By that time the baby has be come cognizant of the fact that he gets anything he wants when he be gins to yell. And. as a consequence, he’s going to yell, and yell, and yell, for a good many years.” It is during this important first hour of life that parental influence is needed most. Dr. Sacller declares. Then is the time for the mother to show her nerve and stamina and not give in to this child of hers who lc the things he has been accustomed to and which have been taken away from him. If she doesn't, it’ll be a. case of just one more spoiled child in a spoiled world. Reverts to Nursrey “This is not a bawling world,” said Dr. Sadler. “No one ever got anything important by bawling yet. Crying is a trick of the subcon scious mind, just as all form of nervousness are tricks of the sub conscious mind. It goes back to the nursery. “The child who cries and the adult who cries, as well, are try ing to retreat from the reality of things and get back into the nurs ery, where, in the past, their howls brought them what they wanted. “Most people don’t lose control of themselves. That’s their diffi culty. The subconscious mind does ’nt believe In anything excecpt na ture. If he can’t get what he wants the fear-anger-rage m°chanism in man starts operating and the ad renal juice, or fight juice, squirts into the blood stream. That gives stimulus and high blood pressure, to the end that one may either fight or run. as seems best. “Civilizatilon has taken away man’s either fight or run, as seems best. “Civilization has taken away man’s enemies in the physical sense so that most of his fears are imag inary. but>he still works only when he has to. The subconscious mind is tricky. When it finds that the crybaby act won't work, it has re course to other methods, such as is demonstrated in the fatigue com plex. which effectively acts as a de terrent to work. It's the subcon scious mind working when mosf women break down, blow-up or -- have to take a prolonged vacation.” Baby, in. the first hour of his life, has two fears only, Dr. Sadler de clared—fear of falling and fear of sudden noises. From these, with the aid of his parents and those who surround him, he builds up all the other fears that assail hem in life, which grow like weeds in a garden. “The parents’ job is to sublimate fear thoughf into forethought in the child,” said Dr. Sadler, who is the author of a score of books on psychology. It’s the firts 60 minutes of life that are going to determine whe ther your child is going to be a cry baby all his life, continually at tempting to creep back into the nursery—at least in his subcon scious mind—or whether he’s going to be a prop to lean against and a <nan in his own right. Pampering a baby in that first hour is only shifting the burden of unspoiling him or her on to his teachers in school and to their helpmates in married life, Dr. Sad ler warns. GIVING BRILLIANCY TO DULL, FADED HAIR Miss Huddleston Gives a Formula for a Combination Shampdo and Dye Which May Ee Used at Home By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON Changing the color of the hair from gray or faded brown to a more desirable tone can be done at most reliable beauty establishments, but to perform this miraculous feat at home without injuring the hair or without gaining a streaked effect is another matter, one that calls for accuracy in the smallest details. During the Summer months, the hot rays of the sun may cause the hair to become faded or bleach ed. Therefore, today. I’m going to suggest a simple shampoo to keep the color of your hair true even though you’ve been careless about preserving its natural tone. This shampoo, although containing a dye, is used so sparingly that no one will suspect you of actually dyeing your hair for it will do nothing but brighten the dull and faded locks. Many of the better manufacturer have specially prepared dyes in all shades ranging from black to light blond so unless you wish to change its color I suggest that you choose the shade that most nearly matches the natural tone of your hair. JOSEPHINE Dissolve one tablespoonful of the selected dye mimvm r«nnid m must be Powder form) and a pinch of borax ruwi-wiwn in one pint of coId water When thoroughly dis solved, strain through a double layer of cheese cloth and add one small bar of castile soap that has been shaved fine to make it dissolve rapidly This should be put into an enamel pan and placed over a slow fire to simmer until the soap has completely melted. It should then be set aside to cooi. wnen coia it wm Des in jelly form and is then ready for use. This special shampoo for the hair is used as any other shampoo in that it cleanses as it tints. First moisten the hair thoroughly with warm water, then rub a sufficient amount of the jelly through the hair to make a heavy lather. This first lather removes the surface dirt and oil and should be rinsed out of the hair before the second application of shampoo jelly is used. After this second applica tion has been fully worked in mere ly remove as much of the lather as you can with the hands, then bring a third portion of the shampoo jelly to a lather and bind an old but clean cloth around the head, letting it remain for five minutes. I mention old but clean cloth, be cause the dye powder stains and you won’t want to ruin a good towel. At the end of five miuntes rise the hair thoroughly, preferably un der the shower or with a bath spray. If, however, neither of these are possible, you will want to use five or six basins of clear wa ter to make sure that all excess soap and dye are removed. And that is all there is to it! If you find that your hair is a bit brighter than you wanted it to be it is because your hdjr absorbs more readily, than the average hair, and a second shampoo, in which only soap and water are used, will remove the over-bril liancy. This, however, cannot be determined until the hair is dry. Then the next time let the last portion of shampoo jelly remain on the hair for only three minutes instead of the prescribed five. If the hair is not as changed as you desire let the jelly remain on for seven or eight minutes or use per haps a quarter or half a teaspoon ful more dye than is suggested above. In either event no permanent harm to the color of your hair will be experienced, as the additional shampoo subdues the coloring if it is too bright and a bit more dye or time tones it up more if that is desired. A few trials and you will know exactly how much dye to use and how much time to let the last lather remain on. It is of the utmost importance that every hair have an equal amount of jelly, and the best way to guard against a streaked appear ance is to be liberal with the sham poo jelly and to work it into a heavy lather. Also the thorough rinsing is necessary so that all dye that has not been absorbed is re moved. Dry the hair naturally if possible, but m no event dry it in the sun.
