t PAOTC TWO F, FOR YOUNGSTERS CALLED PERILOUS LONDON (UP) A group of prom inent medical men of Great Britain, out to debunk a wave of fads for dealing with "unmanageable" chil dren, warn parent to atop "tinker ing" with child psychology. If a young eon li Irritable, reatlu or scatter-brained, the chances are ten to one that he's Just Imaginative. Leave him alone and be probably will grow out of It. "The passage of time," said Or, Reginald Miller of St. Mary's and Padding ton Green Children's hospit als, "and the development of the child do vastly alter the pattern of the child's mind, usually to the ad vantage of everyone. "Thus the old prognostic view that a child will 'grow out' of Its outrage ous ways seems to be a perfectly ac curate forecast of what does In fact take place." Complaining that children always have been "fair game" for enthusias tic theorists. Dr. Miller said that If they are to be analyzed by such strict standards as have been set up by the psychologists they will be put In the status of aliens or lunatics. "Everywhere we meet parents who are tinkering with their children's psy chology as they used to tinker with their children's lnsldes,' the physi cian said. The physicians supporting Dr. Mil ler's crusade of debunking most of them are on the staffs of large chil dren's hospitals in London said that despite mothers' fears children are able to thrive In all sorts of atmos pheres and have their own way of avoiding alt kinds of perils. "The great weakness of the psy chologists," Dr. Miller said. "Is ibe way In which they directly link cause and effect In a manner often too hazy to be convincing. Far too little credit Is given to the beneficial effects of the passage of time and the gradual developments the child." The physicians agreed that there are fewer "backward" children than the psychologists would have parents believe. They also minimized the effects of home environment, stating that en vironment rarely was the direct cause of a difficult child, but that It might aggravate conditions. Many parents whose children dls-1 play strong and aggravating tempor aments are waging a useless fight when they try to change ihem, Dr. Miller contended. "It Is absolutely no use wasting time on these inherent characteris tics, as we cannot change them," he aid. "We ought not to deceive our selves that by modifying certain su perficial matters in a child's life we are producing those fundamental al terations which are natural In growth and development." In discussing the question of child discipline before a meeting of tne Medical Society of London, Dr. Miller said the Ideal discipline Is more a matter of atmosphere than of rules and regulations. "Punishments as given In the home are not of much value In the correc tion of difficult children," he de clared. "Rewards, which I suppose would be called negative punishments, are slightly more useful, and general en couragement of the child always Is neceiutnry. It Is essential that a child, having paid Its price, should get .ts forgiveness and reinstatement. The element of disgrace should be kept at a minimum, for a child's sent of Jus tice enables It to see that to be both punished and kept In disgrace Is not fair. "To keep up a series of punish ments by a scheme now called 'sanc tions' Is mishandling any child. "Children have suffered enough from mothers who are over-anxious as regards their physical health. It Is not plrasant to contemplate what their lot will be like when the same type of mother goes In for tackling their psychological health." Famed Movie Lion Shot For Bounty BAKEHSFIKLD. Cal..

N MEDFORD MAIL NEBRASKA FARFSI DIFFICULTY OVER UNICAMERAL PLAN LINCOLN, Neb. (UP) Nebraska, first state to adopt a non-partisan, one-house legislature, la discovering that people's ways of thinking can not be changed overnight. Particularly, It la learning that it la more difficult to change a politician's mode of thinking and acting. The chief worry now Is that poli ticians In redisricting the state lor the unicameral legislature during reg ular session of the two-house legis lature, have erred so much that It will be necessary to call a second spe cial session. This situation, according to .Tack son B. Chase, Omaha lawyer who has Investigated It, resulted from attempts of members of the legislature to "gerrymander" the state's metropolis for political purposes. A map has been drawn to show that there are blocks In Omaha that are In two districts, other blocks that -ire In no district and territories that are not contiguous, u the unicameral amendment specified. Chase believes there la a possibility there will be no unicameral legisla ture In January. 1937, the date set for the Inauguration of V. S. Senator Qeorge W. Norrls' model assembly. It was Norrls .everyone agrees, who put over the Idea In Nebraska In the race of opposition by most politicians, most newspapers and members of the legislature. The amendment adopting the uni cameral legislature was placed on the ballot In November, 1034, by Initi ative petition and accepted by a vote of 286,089 to 103,163. In the hands of a hostile legislature was pieced the responsibility of districting the state. Chase has called to the attention of Gov. R. h. Cochran and other of ficials the necessity of calling an other special session to redlstr.ct Omaha, which Is given seven mem bers out of 43. If there Is no special session, he says, there will be no uni cameral legislature In 1037. The Omaha election commissioner might save the situation by district ing the city himself, attempting to follow the "Intent" of the legislature with the hope the court, would sus tain him In an Inevitable test suit. Of the first 78 candidates who filed for the unicameral legislature, 40 were members of the last blcameial legislature. Among the remaining 38 there were few who 'were widely known or distinguished. It Is reason able to assume that a good number of present legislators will be elected to Norrls' model assembly. The Democratic floor leaders of the house and senato are candidates. So Is the speaker of the house. Political observers are asking: "Will they be strictly non-partisan?" This applies to the Republicans, too, but there were few of them In the last legislature.

HOLLAND PLANS E FOREIGN TRADE AMSTERDAM (UP) Early this spring an Important trade mission headed by Jonkheer Dr. J. Loudon, the Dutch minister at Paris, will visit as many South American countries as possible and work for an Increase of reciprocal trade between Holland, with Its colonies, and South America. This was revealed by the mlnlsr of commerce, Industry and shipping, Dr. H. C. J. H. Gellssen, who said that not only North America but South America would receive Holland's most Intensive attention during the present year. "Holland Is determined, he said, "to do its utmost to shake off t.ie Influence of the crisis during 1030. The situation Is by no means easy. However, " there are several hopeful' signs, such ss, for Instance, that last year Dutch Industry earned more than In 1034, notwithstanding the fact that Holland remained on the gold standard. The prospects for ship ping are a little better, and Holland at the moment has no sea-going ves sels that are being laid up." The newly concluded reciprocal trade agreement between the United States and the Netherlands Is having a far-reaching Influence on the part of the United States to put Interna tional commerce again on a sane basis. Holland, with Its Important fin ancial and commercial position m Europe and Its tremendous colonies, Is to be a partner In this crusade. Although no official comment ts available, there is no doubt that the agreement with the United States will have the effect of curtailing the gi gantic plans of Dr. Gellssen to In dustrialize a great part of Holland and thus further reduce commerce with other countries. This plan was envisaged before the United States showed Its determina tion to lower trade barriers.

There seemed to be no pros pect for normal commercial relations and the only way out apparently was to occept Dr. Gellssen's proposal to Industrialize the country. It Is safe to assume that Holland now will only build up Industries that can replace the Imports Jr-m countries that are unwilling to grant Holland a fair share In their trade. Holland, apparently. Is going to work on the principle of "I buy from you and you buy from me." It cannot be denied that Holland, with 450,000 unemployed out of a population of not more than 8.000. 000, will need all the Increase In Its trade turn-over that It possibly can get to prevent a serious situation from becoming more acute. The export of agricultural and In dustrial products during recent years had been reduced by $600,000,000 an nually. The government has been forced to assist farmers. Industrial workers, and the unemployed to the extent of several hundred million guilders a year. So Holland Is determined to seek more trade and Its traders are pledged to adapt themselves to the American market. With the United States agreement as a starting point, the mission to South America will seek to extend the benefits of reciprocity. . LOCAL BOWLERS MEET K. F. SIDE BE!
