Tbe Neighbor Child was two years uld. rhia occurred: Vera was on her little rocking ehair. Neighbor Child waniel It. Shf tame over, updumped Vera on the grasii, and, riglitiDg Uie chair, aat down. She then saw Vera pick up a doll. Bhe got off the chair and snatched tbe doll. Vera then ran and climb- ed up on the chair. Updumped af;ain. There sat Neighbor Child rocking thfr dolly. Vera looked about. She found a little bucket and started ti\ load it with blocks. Aggressive Tacticf Nelghljur Child dropped both doll md chair and appropriated the buc- ket. The hostess went back to the cliair. After a while Vera climbed up on ft big chair. Her uninvited guest Irled to push her off. Vera clung. N. C rliribed up beside her. Then she edged behind her, braced her- «elf against the back and pushed with her feet. Off dropped Vera. Vera's mother had been watchin;:. She said. "Mary, run on home." Mary Just looked \t her. Mother picked up .Mary, carried ter to the pavement and said firmly, "Now scott." Mary thought for a Diiuute and then darted for a ball on the grass. Possessed of the ball she "scooted." Vera's mother said to herself. "My child has no spunk. She's goinjc to be a softy. She'll never take her own part and children will always abuse her. I know what's going to happen. That other girl will run everything be class president and marry a ;nillionaire. Vera will be one Womsn*s Institutes A Real Boon of those S. S. G.'s ("sweet, simple and girlish." jf you don't know) and especially the simple. What am I going to do's' The "Give-Up" Attltud* In the house Vera put a pillow on the floor and put her head on It. ".Mustn't touch." said her mother. "Get up." She hastily took up tlie pillow, plumped it_ and replaced It on the sofa. Vera went over to the bookcase and pulled down a book. "Horsey" she said. Her mother jerked 't awaj. "No no â€" that's Daddy's good book. Put 1*. hack." She perke! t!ie brrk out of the tiny hands and put it where it belonged. 'Go get your own book.'" AlKiut two-thirds of the tiiiiig.i the cliiKl vent after were sumuiar:!y re- moved. Once or twice when she whimpered she was made to stop it at once. You have the picture. Vera was accustomed to giving up. Sh« was too little to distiiiguish between a playmate and her mother. She was being conditioned into a "give up attitude. The other little pest was the exact opposite. Probably her indifferent or else too-kind mother never crossed | her at all. Or perhaps she had to fight her way with older brothers and sisters. Tvook at it as you will. I think there is nourishment for thought here. Will a child be able to elbow his way through the world if he has been trained always to turn the oth- er cheek? Will is one thing ftd obedience another. Vl'e need both. We ought to be able to strike a balance Maternity Mortality Rate Down For '32 New Low Level of 5 per I OOO Birthsâ€" Still Too High Says Ottawa Journal The Canadian materual mortality rate has reached the new low level of five per 1,000 births for 1932. How- ever, it remains a tremendous problem still involving in actual flguies the deaths of 1.191 mothers in that one year, writes the Ottawa Journal in this editorial. Child birth causes more deaths among white women frotu 13 to 45 years of age than any other cause except tuberculosis, and the greater number of these deaths is declared to be preventable. A recent survey of materual mor- tality by tbe Manitoba Medical Society over a five year period, showed the continued necessity o£ education of mothers in both urban and rural areas, as to the need of medical supervision. Prenatal care was recognized as the 'one means of reducing deaths from toxemia, which accounted for 25% of the total of 393 deaths This group is entirely preventable and could be elimiuated by the supervision o£ the physician in co-operation with tlie mother. Only an insignificant per- centage of the mothers dying from toxemia were actually under medical care. Septicaemia or blood poisoning ac- counted for approximately oue-third of the maternal mortality in Manitoba during this period. Adequate care, both medical and nursing, at the time of the birth of tlie baby could greatly reduce this number. These facts are an indication of the need still existing for additional pro- vison of adequate prenatal, neonatal and post-natal care for mother and baby and the realization on the part of the parents of tbe need for that care. As its contribution to the treatment of these problems the Canadian Coun- cil on Child and Kaniily Welfare semis free on request to Canadian mothers and fathers a series of nine monthly letters published in English or in French with simple scientific informa- tion for the mother, on the care of her- Belf before the birth of the baby.

At the monthly meeting of the coun- cil after the passing of the resolution only two wives sat with their hus- bands, though seats were provided for 24. One ot the women who did not attend told a reporter she would rath- er sit in the public gallery, as she would be too conspicuous and would leel embarrassed sitting on the tioor of the Council Chamber.

"Female Valet" Says Other Women Should Go into Profession New York. â€" Clothes make the man, according to the copybook, and no one knows it any better than the man, according to Miss Theresa Lewis. The conviction that eveo' crease and but- ton is in its proper place helps out a man's ego just as much as a new bon- net helps out a woman's â€" which makes it nice for her. Mis Lewis ad- mitted, as she is probably the only fe- male valet in Manhattan. It is her pleasant southern voice which says "valet at your service," when you are connected with that de- partment at the New York Hotel em- ploying her, though she frequently is startled at the service demanded. "-â- Vt halt-past eight to-day a man telephoned me that he was sitting on the edge of his bed with his only suit a mass of wrinkles He had a date at nine â€" and he had his pressed suit, too. His comment was the same old story: I'm here without my wife, and I was certainly glad to hear your voice'." There is a splendid opening for other women to get into this profession, .Miss Lewis is convinced. (Owen Sound Sun-Tines) The recent visit in North Grey Dis- trict Women's Institutes of Mrs. Laura Rose Stephens, the first speaker ever to be sent out by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture to the Women's Institutes nearly 40 years ago, brings a realization of how from a humble but earnest beginning, nearly two score years ago, tbe organization has grown. Characterized by eminent statesmen in the Old Country as On- tario's greatest gift to the world, the movement lias extended to practically every civilized country in the world, until this year a great international convention is being held in the heart of Europe. The success of the Women's Insti- tute, which was organized for and which continues to be practically con- fined to rural women, may be said to be due to the great spirit of common interest and common good it has en- gendered. It is primarily a medium of exchange, an opportunity for rural women to benefit by the experience of others, to share household hints and knowledge and to give women whose lives are often necessarily very restricted to their homes an oppor- tunity to develop their abilities of leadership, promoting study and read- ing, getting up papers and speaking in public. Because of the education ?t opens up before the rural woman, the Women's Institute has been called the university of the farm woman. From this worthy task of sisterhood, of sharing and helping, the Women's Institute spread its activities to the community and later through the weight of the opinion they command as a provincial, national and interna- tonal organization, to the world at large. The community activities of the branches are legion. Many have built community halls, where the resi- dents of the community and particular- ly the young people can enjoy social pastimes. Practically all branches take a keen interest in the rural school, belpug the teacher whenever the need arises, providing first aid kits for the scholars and introducing wherever possible everything for the physical w^ell-being ot the children, medical inspection, hot lunches, etc. Extending a helping hand to homes and families in times of sickness, fire, distress, etc., is always foremost in the minds and hearts of those closest and most influential in the Women's Insti- tute. In countless little ways the in- dividual branches bring sunshine and cheer to those in need. A bright instance of the many little acts of neighborliness enacted by the Women's Institute without discrimina- tion of any sort as to class, religion, etc., was related by the recent speak- er, Mrs. Stephens, who told about a little rural branch near Manitowaning, on Mauitouliu Island, which has a standing contract with a grocer to send a little box of good things to every person â€" man, woman or child â€" who may be ill in the community. In the very early days of the Wo- men's Institute movement the Govern- ment recognized what a boon had been created for the often lonely, hard- working rural woman, upon whose health, strength and welfare in such a very real measure rests much of the country's true prosperity. Through their co-operation, the Department of Agriculture provides the branches with a very fine series of short courses, training in food values, in dressmaking, home nursing, etc. Through the short courses many of the young girls become interested in Wo- nieu's Institute work, and at the same time fit themselves for their task as the future mistresses of the farm home.

"It is re- markable that in Ontario f-ata!ities in the water are now much greater than those on the road. The example set by Austr.^lia in rescuing- the drowning suggests that something of the same kind might be attempted here. With their long coastline, .A.ustra- iians are keen swimir.ers, but on the s;ifest beach there is danger for the beginner. Twenty-five years ago the voluntary life-saving movement be- gan. Since then it i. estimated that 20,000 lives have been s.-wed from drowning. There are 14,000 of these young sea-fighters belonging to 140 clubs who now save on dn aver.ige annually about 2,000 lives. There are life-saving clubs in every state of the Commonwealth, writes Alan Moyle in The London E.\pr,.'ss. Membership is voluntary. Each mem- ber is schooled to master the roughest surf. He is taught -s a unit of a life-saving team how to reach -a drowning man in the quickest way possible, handle him in the water, bring him to shore safely, revive him. The teams are trained to miitary pre- cision. They march in platoon forma- tion to parade on tlie beaches. They give displays frequently. They wear a disti;-.ctive bathing dress uniform. Perfect discipline is the basis of their organization. The iife-saver takes his liobby seriously. He contracts to go ^ . beach duty in a definite shift, week after week. Shifts start in the early morning and continue throughout the day â€" until 11 p.m. in the summer. On the main .Australian beaches they bathe at night under arc-liglits. The Austi-alian life-savers are described as physically the finest organization of youth in the wo'-ld. In Ontario instruction in life- saving, including resuscitati<>n, is s<.,mewhat sporadic. Several organiza- tions olfer it as part of their regular jrograms. The Red Cross has done good work in this direction. The Y.M. Q.k. has issued a valuable book, en- titled "Swimming. Diving and Life- sr.ving," the price of whid is only 25 cents. But the persistence of drowning fatalities and the general ignorance of correct methci': of resus- citation sug.cests the necessity of uni- ried efforts and a special organization such as that in Australia."' .J .â- Vs a result of the increased imports into the United Kingdom market from Canada.

Experiencetl observ- ers sent out from England have car- ried on siinihr work in a r umber of other countries. The census has been aided by gr-ants from the Empire Marketi-ig oBard, the Ministry of .Agriculture, and pri- vate sources. \ow, however, when the work has become of wide scientific iniporCance, the C.xford University Research in Economic Ovnilhologj.' is faced with the cessation of Its govern- ment grant, and this emergency has led representatives of all the import- ant elemerts in British field ornithol- ogy to unite in forming a British trust for ornithology which may act as a perpetual t'-ustee and co-crdinating body. The trust, according to the plan, is to take over any funds to establish and suiport an institute oi ornithol- ogy- at Oxford. The latter will "oe under the university's administration ani will carry out organized resean:h regarding the numbers, distribution, food, habits, and migi-ations of British birds. It will form a clearing house ard directive cent-e for ail British bird-watchers. Co-ordination has been assured, and an experimental area of more than seventy acres is nov,- at the disposal of the trust. SAFE WAY TO REDUCE 39 lbs.
