They need God-made trees, hills, prairies, fresh, clean air and bright sunshine during their formative forma-tive years. In this environment they find the beauty of nature and many healthy, normal exits for their excess energy. This is Kathleen Norris' message mes-sage to woman whose three children are getting out of hand since they have moved into a city apartment. "With only a baby at home, peace would descend like a garment, and week-endi week-endi would take on new delight with the prospect of seeing the children.'' By KATHLEEN NORRIS NANCY MILLER Is a Chicago woman who lives in a six-room flat. Her husband is devoted and makes good money, but he works hard, comes home tired and lately has grown strangely strange-ly nervous and cross. "The trouble is the children; we have two girls and a boy," writes Nancy. "Ann is eleven, Billy nine and Gloria five. I'll admit I'm a bad manager, a too indulgent or too exacting mother, I'll admit that they're not well-disciplined children. Til admit ad-mit anything! But as things are now we're all g oing crazy, and even If we've made mistakes all 'round, even If we've been very stupid, there must be some more sensible way to manage things than the way we're going! Ann and Billy quarrel constantly, con-stantly, and Gloria lives In a state of whining and tears. "William and I adore our children. We were mighty proud when our beautiful girl baby was Joined .by a small brother, and Gloria we regard re-gard as a fitting crown to a lovely family. For the first eight years of our married life we lived In the suburbs sub-urbs and I felt that my children were as fine In manners and deportment de-portment as any other woman's children. chil-dren. But now Will must be near ,his work, his hours are irregular, so we traded homes with my mother, and moved into town. And since then everything has been going steadily downhill. Ann and Bisty just recently have become rude. They pretend not to hear my requests and suggestions; they resent being asked to help me, and do whatever I ask slowly and ungraciously. All our Joy and pride to them b gone; it is scold, scold, scold and hush, hush, hush all day and well into the night. Home in Uproar. "My mother has this apartment rent free because she acts as manager man-ager of the house. There are 70 apartments; her job, for which she also receives a salary, is not arduous. ardu-ous. It is merely a matter of seeing new tenants, of which there will be none, for the place is filled, approving approv-ing bills, and paying the Janitor staff once a month. I have taken over this work, to insure my mother her income, and that with the household work and wartime marketing, keeps me busy. I need rest and quiet as much as my husband does. But we live in bedlam, and for the first time William, in speaking of a childless child-less couple, said to me thoughtfully the other night, "perhaps they were lucky "It breaks my heart not to be able to rejoice In my children, feel sure of my Influence over them and their affection for their father and me. But they are getting entirely out-of-hand. Do you know any cure, any type of modern school, psychiatrist; system that will reach their stubborn stub-born little souls, and give us back the delight that parents ought to have?" ' My dear iVancy, let me say in reply re-ply that you don't need psychiatry, or any other means of cure, when you are attempting the impossible. And impossible it Is for two adults and three small children to live in six rooms with comfort for all concerned, con-cerned, er even with reasonable dignity dig-nity and privacy. Racket and noise and restlessness are inseparable from childhood; children need space and air, room for all their activities and projects. That all threats CANNOT give their children those advantages is one of the faults or pivilization one of the faults that I hope we will cure in the newer, wiser world that is com ing. But until it comes, mothers might Just as well face the truth. Fathers, possibly, never will. They are less with the children, they have less authority. Shortcomings of Apartment Life. But mothers are smart enough to realize that three children, penned in a few rooms, restrained for 24 hours out of the 24, without a backyard, back-yard, a windmill, a few fences to climb, an empty meadow available, will be unmanageable pretty much all of the time, and will get into crises of serious trouble whenever they can. Boys break windows and climb into parked cars, throw rocks and pick up swear words, snarl and whine unless they are fed a constant con-stant diet of funnies and movies. Girls grow lazy and saucy, disappear disap-pear after school and don't come home until just before dinner, and later on, at a surprisingly early age, jeopardize their later years by reckless reck-less experimenting with night clubs, motor trips, overnight stays, and lovemaking. Small girls of 12 and 14 are sometimes involved in these adventures, and a police matron describing de-scribing them to me told me that almost always a crowded, cramped, noisy home was a part of the explanation. ex-planation. But about your own case, Nancy. Couldn't you board these children, or at least the two older ones, with your mother, in the old environment? With only the baby at home, peace would descend like a garment,' and week-ends would take on a new delight de-light ' with the prospect of seeing the children. These are wartimes, nothing is normal; don't try to run your affairs without taking into consideration con-sideration the changed conditions, the infinitely increased difficulties that attend everything we do today; marketing, catering, transportation, deliveries, delayed tailor ,and laundry laun-dry services, inexperienced saleswomen sales-women in the shops, incomplete stock of everything. Make a compromise, and send Ann and Billy to their grandmother. Once back again with room to spread out, physically and mentally, they will become their old selves, normally nor-mally well-behaved American children. chil-dren. Mother Alone Responsible. And you other city mothers, whose growing boys and girls are becoming becom-ing increasingly hard to handle, remember re-member that if you coop children up in city rooms, rob them of their right to woods and fields and roadside road-side trees, their right to hammering hammer-ing and digging and picnicking and tramping over the countryside, yon have only yourself to blame if they grow unmanageable and impudent, bored and unhelpful, and go on to more serious defects as they grow older.

Troops Use Bombs Against Pesty Insects "Health bombs" play an important impor-tant part in the protection of America's fighting men. These so-called so-called "bombs" are really dis pensers, each holding one pound of liquid insecticide which protects our soldiers against malaria and yellow fever. When discharged on tents, barracks and planes, these "bombs" release a mist which is fatal to flies and mosquitoes, but harmless to human beings, k In less than 15 minutes one such discharge will fumigate 240 army pup tents or 50 giant bombers. - I P Protect abrased akin and fin a m,mm soothe with Mexsana, for- ullArfc nierly Mexican Heat Pow- vsina Ba er Aigo reiieva) burning ANNOYS of heat-raah irritated skin.

Nam Address New Powerful Microscope Uses Beam of Electrons A new kind of microscope is so powerful that it shows particles too small to be seen by optical methods. Secret of the new instrument in-strument is the use of a beam of electrons instead of a beam of light, and by this means even the shape of particles of smoke can be clearly seen. Zinc oxide smoke is shown to consist of long thin needles; magnesium mag-nesium oxide smoke of groups of small, cubic crystals; while carbon car-bon smoke from a wax taper consists con-sists of very small units forming long chain groups. The instrument, the electron microscope, mi-croscope, was designed by Prof. L. C. Martin, Imperial College of Science, London. .The "lenses" of the electron microscope mi-croscope consist of electrostatic and magnetic fields which refract the electron beams in much the same way that the glass lenses refract the light in an optical instrument. in-strument. By the use of magnetic coils an enlarged image of a small object can be reproduced on a fluorescent flu-orescent screen, or photographed.
