By d'Alessio "Does this mean I'm finely allowed to kiss BROOKLYN EAGLE, SATURDAY, JAN. 16, 1943 5 Some Parents Feel Duty to Children Ends With Feeding and Clothing Them Dear Helen. Worth--I was so interested in the letter written by 2-B teacher, because it touched upon a subject so vitally important--the welfare of children. Some parents, I regret to say, believe they have fully discharged their duty when they have dressed and fed their children properly and, if they are the age for it, sent them to school, leaving rest to teacher.

A professional man of my acquaintance, with six little daughters, assured me solemnly that each one has a distinct and definite personality, each has certain traits and talents peculiarly her own, and he 1s bending every effort to develop each one individually. They bid fair to become fine women. Our public schools are overcrowded and no teacher can possibly be expected to look for and develop the good in each individual child. Children need love and sympathetic understanding, and sometimes I am amazed and pained beyond measure at the lack of these very qualities displayed by parents. Having children is grave responsibility.

Reform schools and juvenile courts bear testimony to the fact that this responsibility is often shirked or not seriously considered. A delinquent child may not be really bad, but 1 badly misunderstood. It 1s worth every effort to become thoroughly acquainted with our children. They can teach us so much. I declare I sometimes feel quite humble in the presence of their disarming honesty, candor and wisdom.

Here is a nice red apple to 2 Teacher. She is doing a fine job. May she live long to carry one! GRANDMERE. Ma Chere Grandmere Letters from you are always welcome. My own belief is that the average parent makes every effort to be a through ignorance, not intentional neglect, in many cases.

Little by little the world progresses, and when we realize how far we have come we may take heart and hope for the future of our children. HELEN WORTH. Dear Helen Worth-A happy New Year, ma'am. I noticed a piece in your column from Song Writer, but I have not seen any replies so far to his query. too, have written several songs, but so far have not had the courage, or knowledge, or something or other, to have them considered by any firm or publishers.

Just don't know HOW to go about it, I guess. I have two patriotic songs as well. Would you be so kind to let Song Writer know this, if ever you find it convenient. I have received three or four kind replies to letters from you in the past, and also from outside sources through your column, for which I am most grateful. C.

W. R. Known Reputation My dear C. W. you.

One word of caution--beware those firms that advertise in glowing words concerning the sales of songs, for many of them are fraudulent. Why not write to the publishing houses of known reputation? That seems the most logical thing to do. HELEN WORTH, Fresh as a Daisy Dear Helen Worth--My net evening gown comes up fresh as a daisy from this treatment.

HELEN WORTH. THE JURY DECIDES: Should She Inform Friend About Husband's Trips Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: I am a good friend to a neighbor of mine and have been for the past five years. This neighbor is a fine woman and she is much in love with her husband. Her husband is no good and not worthy of her. He is always making business trips out of town, or that's what she thinks, anyway.

Recently my sister was visiting in another city nearby and she saw this man with a young She recognized him and watched him for several minutes on the street and the way he was acting up to this girl. Later they went into a taproom. A few nights later she saw him with the same girl. I have always suspected this man of being that kind because once he tried to get fresh with me. I never told my friend about this because she thinks butter won't melt in his mouth.

I think she is getting a terrible bad deal and deserves better and ought to know. Should I tell her about what I know? A FRIEND. How the Jury Voted Women-Yes, one; no, two. Men-Yes, none; no, three. Haberdasher -No, tell her it's niece or someone.

Brady says: At first glance, it seems incongruous, perhaps, to consider spinal curvature and varicose veins aS having anything in common. But it is notable that these two conditions, as well as other common ailments of civilized man, such as hemorrhoids, varicocele, visceroptosis (sagging, floating or displacement of abdominal or pelvic organs) and hernia do not occur at all in animals and such conditions are so rare in primitive races or tribes that they constitute anomalies. Not merely the conductor of this column but many recognized authorities account for all of the diseases or weaknesses mentioned hereby ascribing them to one ple factor--lack of exercise. As Rudolph Klapp (Munch. Med.

Wehnschr, 1vil, 546) expressed it: "It seems that civilization, by its customs of living, which limit the natural exercises of our muscles, predisposes to a degeneration connective tissue which, combined with the imperfect adaptation of our bodies to the erect posture, 1s the basic cause of postural diseases." Lest this seem too academic to the casual reader, let me say here that you increase your tendency to these postural diseases or weaknesses every time you hop in the car to run to the grocery or the barber shop instead of running (or walking if that is the best you can do) on your own power. And while you're forgetting that AS quickly as you can, let me add that one of the most effectual preventive and curative remedies for varicose veins, visceroptosis, hernia and the like is a season of walking to and from work or business instead of riding which, fortunately, the war will provide for us. In saying this I am not at all concerned about the condition of your tires but purely about the condition of your health.

"I enjoyed your talk," writes Pete Young, "but one think I would like to ask you is about the schools and of Japan. How are they run?" eign Another pupil, Howard Rubin, asks, "In Japan is Hirohito a real man or just a name they worship?" To answer the second question not first, let me say there is an emmy in Japan with the name of peror Hirohito.

He is supposed to be the of the country, but there is reason to believe that much of the power is in the hands of Japanese generals and admirals. According to some statements, the "warlords" have been able to push their nation into war, whether or not the emperor wanted to have them do 50. The Japanese have the story that the earth was created by two of their deities, a god and a goddess. They also say that their emperor is a direct descendent of the sun goddess. I asked one Japanese man about the sun goddess idea, and he said it was "just a fairy story." Most persona in Japan, however, would be afraid to say such a As to Japanese schools, I spent afternoon in Tokio making a to one of them.
