No child is perfect, and the bestmannered will have occasional lapses, but the consistently naughty or disobedient child is the result of poor training. Miss Norris points out that such a child causes his parents shame and concern when he should be the source of infinite pride and joy. lovable little beings. They can be trained into politeness and pleasantness. They will have their lapses, of course. But if a mother can steel herself to a little heroism in the beginning; if she is not afraid to establish a few rules of conduct, she will win for herself some of the happiest years a woman can know. All the baby authorities tell young mothers that no child should be fed for more than 20 minutes. When he begins to dribble out the spinach, or play with the bottle, or work food about in his mouth in the manner described by the disgusting word ‘‘sloshing,'"' he is having a good time at your expense. If you have the courage to stop right then and refuse him all food until the next feeding time, you won't have to repeat the process more than three times. One reason why many of us grew to strength and stature years ago was because our mothers, with ten, eight, seven children to raise, didn't have any time to waste on our infant vagaries. Besides that, anyone who wanted a second helping of pudding had to make brisk work of the first helping. Puddings, in the nineties, vanished more quickly than they do today, when we all pamper and coax and flatter small appetites too much. A Cure for Rudeness. "The one thing of which we had to cure our child was rudeness,"' writes a Kentucky mother. ‘‘Don was an adorable, well-behaved baby, but at six he returned from his primary school ruder and noisier and bolder every day. We didn't mind the boldness and noise, but to get a surly impatient answer from our adored boy was too much. His father scolded, I sent him from the room, refused lollipops, did everything I could think of. All no use. "This went on for three or four months, and I began to feel that I suggested a simple cure that she said had worked a miracle with her sons. It was just to give the child warning that a request or command was to be made. "We tried it, and our problem vanished into thin air in less than a week. Before asking Don anything, or interrupting him in any way, his father or I would say mildly, ‘Don, I am going to ask you in a minute and if you realize that it is bedtime, I would like a gentle answer.' Or, ‘Don, when I ask you if you want more steak please say yes or no nicely and quietly.' "From the first trial this worked like a charm. It never once failed, except when Big Donald and I failed. Instead of fmpatient rudeness, the child began to listen and to consider. He is still as wild as an Indian when he is with the other boys. But at home I have my gentleman again. "Last night,'' the letter ends, ‘‘his father happened to speak to him abruptly Don and smiled pleasantly, inconsiderately. at big ‘Would Don you and like Little asked to ask me that again, Dad?' His father was honest enough to answer yes, and the question was _ repeated. It seemed to me then that all three of us had learned a valuable lesson, and I pass it along." ap400 miles north and south across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the widened mouth of the St. Lawrence river.

The Bahama islands group, roughly 700 miles southwest of Bermuda, over which the duke of Windsor now presides, consists in all of more than 3,000 islands, islets, cays and rocks strewn over some 630 miles of ocean between Florida and Hispaniola (the island of Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The aggregate area is less than 4,500 square miles. All of the islands are low and of coral formation. The island nearest Florida is Bimini, about 60 miles east of Miami. The most historic is San Salvador (Watling island) on the eastern fringe, where Columbus landed in 1492. Jamaica, 500 miles south of the Bahamas, and on the southern side of Cuba, is one of the vital base locations because of its nearness to the Panama canal which lies about 550 miles to the south. It is the only one of the bases squarely within the Carribbean sea; the others nearby lie on the outer fringe of that body of water. It is Britain's watchdog island beside the busy Windward Passage, shipping channel between the North Atlantic and the Panama canal. Kingston is capital and chief port.

In a message to the quarter-million members in 45 states, Mrs. Melville Mucklestone, NCTC president, declared that "if our local governments would eliminate inefficiency and waste from the administration of their affairs, American taxpayers would be saved a sum so large that it would more than offset the annually to be raised $994,400,000 act defense national the through which went into effect July 1." This seemingly too-good-to-be-true solution to a large part of the defense problem is an actual possibility, Mrs. Mucklestone said, for the simple reason that the local taxpayer is the same one who foots the national tax bill and therefore costs of defense measures. "Experts agree that making our city, town, county, and other local efunits thoroughly governmental ficient and honest would cut from 10 to 20 per cent from our total local tax bill," the NCTC leader declared, ‘‘without curtailing essential governmental services."

Trinidad, close to the shore of Venezuela, serves as an ‘‘abutment'"' for the arch of the Windward and Leeward islands which enclose the Caribbean on the east. The island is 1,862 square miles in extent and has a population of 412,000. On the basis of production it is one of the most valuable of England's West Indian colonies. The island has an enormous deposit of natural asphalt, Pitch lake, which covers 114 square miles and from which more than 100,000 tons has been exported in one year. The island also produces as much as 10,000,000 barrels of petroleum in one year, raising this comparatively small island at one time to eleventh in world production. St. Lucia, one of the Windward islands only 200 miles north of the island of Trinidad, has an excellent harbor. Its area of 238 square miles supports a population of about 65,000, mostly Negroes.

The island changed hands between England and France several times, so that the natives speak with a strong French accent. It has been English territory since 1814. The southernmost of the defense bases will be located in British Guiana, Britain's only territory on the mainland of South America. It will give the United States a base some 1,450 miles east of the Panama Canal and about equidistant from the canal and the hub port of the South Atlantic, Natal on the projecting ‘"‘shoulder"' of Brazil. The chief port and_ capital, Georgetown, dominates the 270 miles of coastline. This narrow British strip of South America extends for nearly 500 miles up into the continent's northern highlands. Its area is 89,480 square miles. The colony has less than a third of a million inhabitants, nearly a half of them East Indians. Antigua, in the northern half of the sweeping arc of islands that guards the eastern doorway to the Caribbean sea, is about 200 miles north of St. Lucia and 260 miles east of Puerto Rico. An irregularly shaped patch of land, it is the smallest of the West Indies islands offered to the United States for bases. It is only about 12 miles in length from east to west, with a total area of 108 square miles. It has a population of little over 35,000. Although at one time Antigua's English Harbour was headquarters for England's Leeward Islands naval station when the island was comparatively rich and active, it is today merely a sleepy tropical outpost, off the regular tourist ‘‘beat."'
