Crawling on Floor Is Vital For Baby Crawling on the floor for ex ercise is necessary for the baby. So is exploring his surround ings and learning to recognize by sight and feel all the furnishings- which are a part of the grown-up world. And at this stage, the mother who has been so conscientious about sterile feeding bottles, clean club sheets and hygienical ly laundered baby clothes should ask herself: "Is my living room really clean enough for the baby?" The neat dusting and surface cleaning good enough for grown ups may not be enough for the baby at alL Dust and germs lurk in .uphol stered furniture and apparently in rugs on which the baby plays. Naturally these can not be con stantly washed and made sterile as can the baby's own equipment, but they need and should get plenty of brushing, air, and thor ough treatment with a vacuum cleaner to draw out lurking dirt. Vacuum cleaners with extra at tachments, therefore, become an almost indlspensible appliance in the home where there is a small child or a baby. "Skyline" Chairs A nationally known manufac turer of high chairs has designed .a new "Skyline" series designed with straight skyscraper lines. There are three different types. One is a regulation chair with wide base and removable tray. One is a two-purpose chair (play table and high chair). The third is a three-purpose nursery chair). All come in maple finish. Soap For Baby Clothes Baby's clothing needs a differ ent kind of soap from that used for the rest of the family laun dry. Only the very mildest white soap should be used for baby things. Frequently the rash ea and skin irritations that are so painful to a small baby can be traced to the use of the wrong kind of soap. HXRIOIT. T Months, in DTTLCE. S Jttn, aaoshtara of Mr. sad Mrs. A.

Doctors write books about it. Psychologists sug- gest remedies for it. Mothers grow worried and desperate about it. What does it mean? Lack of appetite! It's what happens when little Billy or Betty dwadles over a meal won't eat the nice spin ach, won't drink the lovely milk, has to be ccaxed and cajoled through every bit of the meal. It's grown to be such a prob lem that on doctor has drawn up quite a list of the various rea sons which may cause it in indi vidual cases. Some of these causes are real ly physical. Some are hygienic (an insufficiency of fresh air, ex ercise, sleep or sunlight), and some are dietary. Diet May Re Wrong Dietary causes may be over feeding in general or overfeed ing of some one type of food. There may be a lack of vita mins. There may be too much eiting between meals. The diet may be wrong for the child. But the longest list of possi ble reasons has to do with psy chology with the mental atti tude of the child or his parents. Maybe the child simply likes to be coaxed! That's one way of getting the attention children love. Maybe it's the parents' own dislike of spinach or milk that Child Health Is Guarded by FRIGIDAIRE Keeps Foods Safer, $92.50 Pun-to i prict jmeluJn rmtomriam.

Children are imllativd by nature. .But at least a good part of the doctor's list is a reflection on the parents' attitude toward this whole business of meals and eat ing. Causes Are I-i.-tetl He gives all the following as possible causes of anorexia: Forced feeding. Over-solicious, hovering atten tion. Too much talk about eating habits. Too much discipline especial ly stressing of manners. Emotional strain before eating, or at the table. Rewards for eating. Unpleasant surroundings at meals. Too much time at meals. In other words, the mother who ha3 "tried everything" in an effort to make her child eat has worked so hard at it that she may be encouraging the diffi culty she seeks to overcome. If there is no real physical or dietary reason why the child should refuse food or eat it re luctantly, try making the family mealtime jollier, with more con versation about other things and less about food and eating. Parents might try displaying a bit of zestful appreciation for the same foods they wfit their chil dren to eat. Make mealtimes shorter, if Better, Longer!

And if the child still shows a lack of appetite, authorities agree that the best thing to do is not to coax, but to let him go hungry until the next regular mealtime. PetSUB6iy By All Youngsters The child is to be pitied who has grown up without ever know ing the joys of owning a pet. Birds and fish and turtles are fun to watch, and an education in themselves. Puppies, kittens and bunnies are more than mere live plaything to be toddled. As soon as a little child is old enough not to commit acts of unconscious cruelty, a pet may serve to instill valuable lessons in kindness. He will learn to be gentle and self-controlled in or der to win his pet's trust. The youngster who is an only child, and runs the d'-i'cer of be ing self-centered, is in particular need of such companioship. No pet need be a nuisance to the rest of the household if the children are taught that the re sponsibilities, as well as the pleasure, of owning a pet are to be their very own. Phone. 7953 For Appointment MILLER'S BEAUTY SHOP The very young miss, ranging from two to four yeara old, is al most as clothes conscious as her older sister or her smartly gowned mother. She adores new frocks and like a grown-up, the stimulus provided by a becoming ensemble Will encouragp her to be her most ' charming 'self. A brief tour of Salem shops reveals a stunning array of spring apparel for the baby-deb. (She is a deoutante, in the sense that this may be her first season ot stepping out in society and meet ing tha world. Perhapg she has just mastered the art of walking and the social grace of talking). When mother takes her down town, she would look adorable in one of the new washable ensem bles which have Just been de signed this year. The frocks are made of ribbed dimity or shan- tune and are plain or frilly, ac cording to your taste. One model WM Ol tUnjMise hUv ribbed dim ity with a ruffled collar which fitted over the outside of the loose coat fashioned of beige crash. The coat pockets wre bound in turquoise to accent the dress.- Another shantung frock was of brown and blue polka dot print which was matched with a plain brown picque coat fastening with two buttons at the throat. For spectator sports, which will have to satisfy this young miss for a few years yet, she would make a picture in a white shan tung dress with red stars sprin kled down the front and the sailor collar trimmed with red braid. This number also comes in navy blue. If the baby-deb is assisting her mother at tea or carrying in the shower gifts at a party, a dimity or Jawn pastel frock with a touch of handwork on the collar and yoke wpuld enhance her fem ininity. Cottons are much more sensible and appropriate than silks for the very young miss. They wash beautifully. :
