CATHERINE CONRAN EDWARDS % AMMiofti MMot, PofMito* Mapwriw WHEN parents were warned that ! ** they shouldn’t encourage “baby \ talk” Just because it Bounded cute, ^ xnany of them went to the other ex- : treme and expected their children to speak fluently ms soon as they had l#amed a few words. This gave rise to a lot of need- } U j less worry on childish stutter ing. And since labeling a child a stutterer is one of the prori causes of habit ual speech diffi culties, parents ' should go slow, about the \ child’s attention to any peculiarities ; of speaking. Perhaps the child will outgrow them—if not, remedial \ spaech instruction can be give£ later 'OB. . This doesn't mean that parents v should be indifferent to a child’s \ c speech habits. But it is better to i guide them indirectly through word .'games, memorising simple rhymes * and other ways in which speech can | be enjoyed. For example, the child’s 1 lore for repeating sounds can be ; given play in sing-song descriptions -of what her Is doing—“Here Z go. here Z go, here Z go up,” the child * chants aa you give the swing a push ! (and ha thinks it's fun if you join * him in vocalising the experience). * f la the early stages ef speech / development, the child think* faster than he can ferae words, for It takes pretty good control ef Ups, tongue and ether me chanisms to make the many dif ferent sounds necessary for act ual! doesn't know the ■'*» .

"MOW VO- IDEA THAT SERVED ARMED FORCES Dale Carnegie i * 11 > , r , t A FEW years ago John W. Speaker in Wisconsin went on a' .picnic. ‘ When he and his friends got to the place in the • woods, they wanted to start a fire. But the wood was too moist. ^and so were. the leaves and moss; and there w^s no paper available. No fire. . ‘x, • . Mr. Speaker got to thinking about this. If he had tha^ .• trouble, why other people must have it, too. He decided to : invent some kind of stove that a person could use anywhere, in any weather; a stove that .* wouldn’t weigh much. He did. Instead of mooning around about the - idea, he perfected it, patented it, began to manu- * facture a “vest-pocket" stove. ' The people who used this outfit were hunters, fishermen, hikers, the outdoors crowd. Then came Pearl Harbor. If Suddenly there was the problem of get ting a small, light, compact “field stove” for the service men. So Mr. Speaker put his stove in his pocket and hied off to Washington and showed his midget stove to the bigwigs. They were interested but said, “Too big. Make it smaller, then come back." And that’s what he did. Took it back and again ^ they said, “Too big." SPF* He made it smaller; so small it would slip into a coat pocket. . , 'At last the government men said, “This is it." Then he • began to manufacture the stoves for government orders. It / became most valuable, for it was found that the armed forces , , moved so fast that the field kitchen could not keep up with 1 them. Then it was that Mr. Speaker’s stove began going into ■ the foxholes. If a man bailed out, the stove went with him. ! For that is really what the device is now—a pocket stove. It folds up like an accordian, and can be opened when time to cook comes. So there is the start of an idea—an idea a man thought of ' while he was on a picnic and its finish is that it is helping our armed forces. .\.w. ’KAIN ^ UDGETCjfya 1.—In what year did Panama gain her independence fv< lombia?
