On Resting Mothers
Dr. Earl J. Baker, of Traverse City, Mich.,
has his own system of providing rest tor tired
mothers. Each year the doctor invites twenty-
five mothers to spend lour days at his 50-
acre report on a Lake Michigan bay. The only
requirements are that the mothers leave their
families behind and that they do not work
while at the resort.
Dr. Baker says he is trying to repay his
own mother for a vacation he promised her
but never managed to give her before she
Fast Start In Wrong Direction
Police in White Plains, N. Y., recently filed
,\ charge of bicycle theft against a nine-year-
i.jd boy. He was released in the custody of
hi ; :other, but continued to be observed by
r :r. .dual policemen.
A few oays after the bicycle theft charge
had ueen tiled, the lad was found loitering on
the streets and a suspicious policeman
h: ought him into headquarters. The story of
"veral unsolved burglaries in the neighbor-
ho d were obtained from the boy, and police-
men were surprised when he told them he
was a top-notch safe-cracker.
died. In her honor, he has made the four-day
vacation tor twenty-live mothers an annual
afiair.
He pays the expenses of the mothers to his
resort and provides all the luxuries necessary
for a vacation. And if the mothers want
breakfast in bed, he provides that, too. The
Michigan doctor's program to reward deserv-
ing mothers seems to us to meet a need long
neglected and we suggest that the example
be followed in other states.

Modern Theory On Children
The Iowa Supreme Court recently uttered
a lew sentences with which we are heartily
in accord. The State’s high court rejected a
challenge to the long-accepted right of a lath-
er to punish his child for wrongdoing. The
case which brought the test was one in which .
a 14-year-old has been convicted of killing
his lather, after an argument about raking
leaves.
in upholding the father’s right to discipline
his son, the Iowa State Supreme Court said,
among other things: “The modern trend is to
restrict the degree and extent of chastisement
a parent may inflict (but) the right still
exists, in moderation and for the purpose of
correction and training . . . Proper discipline,
including corporal punishment when needed
... is the serious duty of every parent . . .
There is a growing current of opinion that
lack of parental discipline is responsible for
much of the juvenile delinquency now so ap-
parent.”
The Iowa State Supreme Court hit the nai.
on the heau when it reterred to a growing
current of opinion that lack of parental disci-
pline is responsible for much of the delin-
quency now observed among modern-day
youth. Although we are not one of the school
which holds that the modern generation is
going to the dogs, we nevertheless remain i think of any alternative or
highly skeptical of the modern theory which stitute courses of action
has convinced many parents they' should
never say no to Junior. Such a policy, which
is supposed to encourage Junior’s creative
abilities, more often results in a carnage of
destruction in Junior’s path.
Moreover, the modern-trained brat seem
to find it exceedingly difficult to fit himseli
into normal life patterns after he emerges
from his adolescence and new-fangled train-
ing. As we see it, parents have a right to dis I question. I feci there are many
ciplinc their children intelligently and with
moderation, but they, nevertheless, have the
duty to exercise discipline when it is needed

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I
am turning to you in the hope
j that you may have some practical
j suggestions, iri helping me to meet
I a problem that affects the happi-
1 ness and security of three of us—
my fine husband, our son and my-
self.
I am nearing 40 and, in the past I
13 years, I have- had two major
illnesses and breakdowns—the re-
sule of deepseated psychological
and emotional disturbances. Re-
cent psychoanalytic treatment, on
a trial basis, discloses my need for
perhaps several months’ hospital-
ization, during the early stages of
analysis.
The cost of combined analytic
and hospital care would seriously
jeopardize the family's financial
security, and I feel restrained,
from considering it. So can you
sub-
that
might help? Any reading from
which I might benefit? Any ways
in which I might be helped to
help myself rise above my prob-
lem for my family's sake?
I am eager, and willing, and
determihed to work towards a
solution: but I find myself not
knowing quite where to start, now

WASHINGTON Tha Washing
ton monument, the nation's moil
famous memorial to its Brat Presi-
dent, is now celebrating its 88th
birthday
More than 27 million people
have visited the imposing 565-foot
shaft sluce it was first opened to
the public in October. 1888.
The custodian, attired in a blue
uniform ano a black derby, and
a newspaper reporter were the
firet to ascend the monument The
trip took 12 minutee In the steam
hoist elevator. It now takea one
minute.
The following day, 210 visitors
were taken to the top and during
the initial week 184 persons
walked up the 898 steps.

Tin; ERECTION of the monu-
ment to George Washington took
many years and was accompanied
by considerable controversy. In
1883 a group of prominent citizens
formed the Washington Nations1
Monument society, with Chief Jus-
tice John Marshall as its first
president, to erect the memorial.
The society opened a campaign
throe years later for private con
trtbutions Architect Robert Mills
designed the structure.
Seventy thousand dollars wtb
collected by 1847 and the follow-
ing year Congress authorized Its
erection near the site laid out in
1781 by Major L’Enfant for a
Washington memorial. The corner-
stone waa laid July 4, 1848.

WORK CONTINUED on the
monument until shortly after 1864,
when an incident 6ccurred which
eventually halted Its construction

feet

DEAR R.Y.: The first sugges-
ion that occurs to me is to ex-
scarch undertaking, which sup-
plies the finest diagnostic and
therapeutic treatment to persons
accepted. Either later this year,
or early next, some new lines of
research are to be launched by
the institute, and you might qual-
ify as a type of patient whose spe-
cial needs will be intensively con-
sidered in one or another of these
pre-determined projects.
Such factors as age, weight, sex,
nature and history of illness, etc ,
figure in the accrediting of appli-
cants. Request for admission can
only be made through your fam-
ily doctor, or the specialist who
supervised your recent analytic
experience. The doctor who is fa-
miliar with the case acts as me-
diator in referring individual peti-
tions to Dr. Robert Cohen, clin-
ical director of the institute, at the
Clinical Center, Bethesda 14, Md.
Certain Aida
To Soul Health
As for helpful reading matter,
I know of nothing better for sick
souls than Glenn Clark's two re-
cent books — “A Man’s Reach,"
which is autobiographical; and
"God's Reach," which states the
metaphysical laws of well-being,
and incorporates a wealth of data
about contemporary Individuals
who testify to the concrete value
of learning and keeping these
rules.
Sooner or later, too, you must,
find Christian fellowship and join ] I
a prayer group, if you arc to main- *
tain good, health, once regained.
You need such help to keep your
energies flowing outward towards
fraternity with, and social service
to, all God’s humanity.

"Please write an article explain-
ing the difference between dip-
lomacy and hypocrisy," a Louis-
ville, Ky„ reader requests.
He compliments me for being
blunt, but not diplomatic. But at
least I am not hypocritical, he
says.
"I’d like to be the same way,"
he goes on, "but it gets me in
trouble. Maybe I. got the wrong
idea about what is diplomacy and
what is hypocrisy. So please ex-
plain.
* * *
I take it for granted that my
Louisville friend does not mean
by diplomacy the kind that is
practccd in Washington, Paris,
London, Rome.
That kind of diplomacy is sim-
ply hypocrisy in frock coat and
striped punts.
It remiruk me of an old saying,
“when a diplomat says yes, he
means perhaps; when tie says
perhaps, no means no; when he
says no, he is no diplomat." Or
the other one, "a diplomat is a
man who remembers n lady's
birthday but forgets her age."
No, that isn't the kind he means.
What he really does mean by dip-
lomacy, I suppose, is tact, cour-
tesy. good manners.
And there is nil the difference
ill Jhe world between tact and
hypocrisy.
• • •
My old friend Shakespeare de-
described hypocrisy with these
words, in Henry VI:
"I cau smile, and murder while
I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which
Brieves my heart:
And wet my cheeks with artifi-
cial tears,
And frame my face to all oc-
casions."
So. I think, mv I-ouisville friend
Is wrong when he condemns the
hnhit of having In sav "Glad to
