MO.MFNT My Alice .ludson 1'eale Three-year-old Andy had made himself a train by hitching, one be hind the other, his cxprcwi waon. his push car and a lure wooden box. Ar, ho turned the corner from the sidewalk into the garden path, the wheel of the push car caught in the gate. Bt ill seated in his express wagon, ho tugged and- pulled. The car bo came only the more firmly Jammed. Ho got out and pulled ut It, Ho Climbed back Into his wagon, be coming moro and more angry as he continued to push and tug In vain. Ho was about to give away to a fll) of temper when his mother came to his. rescue. Quietly she took him by tho hand and showed him how to, get the wheel loose from the gate. She moved it part way and let him move It the rest. The train went on Its way with An:ly beaming at Us head. Next tlmo a toy won't behave as ha wants, Andy will be less likely to waste his energy In anger. Instead ho will examine it carefully to see what is tho matter and muke It act right just as mother did, i It Is for Just such momenta that c. mother should keep an oye on her child's play. If she can roach him bnforo his helplessness In tho face of' some difficulty thrown him Into a tantrum, she will bo helping him to, learn self-control and to acquire a 1 purposeful Instead of a merely emotional response to obstacles. The emotional, headstrong child often has great difficulty in learn ing to copo with tho resistance of merely inanimate things. Ho Is likely to develop the habit of Indulging in futile rages unless ho is painstakingly taught a more sensible way of behaving. A mother writes that her O-ycar-old son has become suddenly an over quiet, shut-in child. She ascribes thin change to the fact that tho family has moved recently Into a new neigh borhood where thero are no children near his own ago. She wonders whether the right play materials might not help to engage his attention once moro In whole fiomo activity as well as attract pos sible playmates even though they live at some distance. The right play materials ar0 desir able In any caso. It is doubtful, how ever, whether In themselves they would cause other children to come a long distance to play. Six-year-olds aro not generally al lowed to wander far from home unless some grownup will tako the robpon sibility for their safety. Companion ship, under the circumstances, will bo hard to provide unless definite ar rangements are made with the moth era of other children. Perhaps tho best thing for thts mother to do is to Invito playmates for different days of the week and bo ready herself to devote consider able time to the supervision and ex tra work which their presence will surely necessitate. Her task will be made easier when the mothers of the other children re turn her hospitality and she can leave her child at thP homes of others on two or thre? days of the wrex. Although good play materials and companionship arc a help in meeting almost every childhood problem it should be remembered that every sud den change in a ciuid a behavior should not be ascribed simply to the lack of them. Always it Is possible that some phy sical cause, some shock, an over se vere punishment, or some himponing that has given impetus to feelings ol guilt, inferiority, and Jealousy may bo at the bottom of it.

Watvliett Tho presidential vote indicated, however, that Bavaria is not exact ly aflame with Hitler's ideals, it gave Hindenburg 2,547,459 votes on the first ballot and Hitler 1,261,807 and the latter's home city of Munich gave him only 80,607 as compared with Hindenburg's 220,615. Yet these figures reveal that the nazis are likely to win, 40 seats In the new state diet as compared with their present representation of nine. Similarly in the former kingdom, of Wurttemberg, although the state gave Hindenburg an outright ma jority on March- 13, Hitler's vote indicated that the new state gov ernment Is likely to contain a con siderable nazl, element. An halt, with Its 350,000 inhabi tants, Is too small In Itself to figure prominently in. federal affairs, but this, year Its vote will be watched as a possible further reaction to the Hitler chemicals In the body politic.
