To Keep Fit
Tongue s tied ebildren, and
others suffering from nervous,
troubles, stammering, lisping
and excessive shyness, are find-
ing a cure for their afflictions by
playing with puppets,
Manipulating the figures, the
vhildren become completely abs
sorbed, their imagination is set
tree, self-consciousness removed,
and healing influences go to
work, Moreover, if the puppets
themselves play heroic parts, ors
skew a strong personality, then
something of that personality is
transmitted to the children.
This curative power has been
brought to a fine art by Mr. ,S.
W. Salter, a master at Parkhurst
School, Tottenham. He found
that a timid child soon becomes
self-confident when put in charge
of a fine robust character like
St. George, In time, such associa-
tions kill any inferiority com-
plex,
Mr. Slater encourages his pu-
pils not only to help in making
and manipulating the puppets,
but to create their theatre, de-
vise lighting and scenery and
even write plays for the mini-
ature performers,
At another London school,
11-year-old Vivien Goldstein has
had success in writing puppet
plays. She turns out her scripts
at home, using a home-made
theatre and puppets of her own
to work out her scenes before
writing them.
Safe-Crackers Cheap Dollars
The jobless worker, collecting
his unemployment insurance in
50-cent dollars, is getting a tra-
gic lesson on the meaning of
inflation.
This money is not a dole. It
isn't charity or a gift. It truly
is insurance which is the work-
er's legal due. It comes from. a
,fund bnilt up by regular pay.:
ments from emplOyees — money
the worker might otherwise have
received in -wages.
The national average, of week-
ly payments is $30. Such an in-
come would have pinched, even
when the 'system was set up a
little over 20 years ago. But it
would have been at least enough
to tide a family over between jobs.
The cheapened dollar has turn-
ed this insurance into a mere
pittance. The' worker who "de-
pended on it 'is threatened with
the degradation of 'being forted
on relief to. feed his family.
Labor unions in particular; it
seems to us, should think, about
this before they hurry to indorse.

ment and. business slump, now

Why is it that a fair and inn-

The one thing that has distin-
guished American merchandis,

that has made us successful
businessmen, is the fined price,
Somewhere along the line we
have lOst it as far as cars are
concerned. Of course much of the
fault lies with the public, since

school children could tell us that
most of the $400 came not out

price pack. Nor is it easy to find
out just what automatic trans-
mission, power brakes, power
steering, undercoating, white
walls, power windows, autronic
eyes, and what have you cost,
The dealers have grown tired
of this, and favor the bill pro,
posed by Senators Monroney and
Thurmond to suggest a list price
for each model, President Eisen-
hower supports the idea. It could
be if we got out of the Ozieatal
bazaar and, returned to the sim-
ple habit of just buying a car of

Burglars recently attacked a

Another gang took the same
risk in a travel agency. There
was an enormous bang, but when
the dust subsided the safe ,was
as ever. But the office wasn't.
The explosion blew out a chunk
of the wall which landed in'the
road outside, right in the path of

Women' hospital patients are
being given facial massage and
beauty treatment as a cure for
melancholia. Such patients tend
to let their appearances 'go. They
develop all' too' quickly sagging
chins, crow's feet and forehead
wrinkles, while their -hair be-
comes lank and listless. But after
treatment their self-respect re-
turns.
The patient who was once full
of misery and despair acquires a
new pride 'in her appearance
and her health improves mar-
vellously.' That goes for men, too.
Such exdellent results have
been reported of beauty treat-
ment experiments at Goodmayes
Hospital for Nervous Diseases
.that other hospitals have now
'decided to adopt a similar tech-
nique.
St, John's Hospital, near Ayles-
bury; the Mendip Hospital,
Wells; and Coney 'Hill and Hor-
ton Road Hospitals, Gloucester,
will all soon introduce beauty
treatment.
Two nurses from 'each of these,
hospitals ,are now being trained
in a Bond•Street beauty parlour.
This altering of faces as 'a cure
for and encouragement
to restarting life, is '.even, affect-
ing convicts in Texas. There,
prisoners, just before release,
are being' given the benefits of
plastic surgery.
This greatly assists their re-
habilitation problems, and re-
moves old prejudices hampering
their return to society.
"Fur coats are made here from
any skins, ours or yours."
"Here you can get dental
plumbing by the latest meth-
odists."
"You are not allowed to com-
mit suicide here! If you do, you
will be punished with the utmost
penalty of the law."
At Kodzu she saw a whole
family—mother, father and three
children — returning from the
public bath without a stitch of
clothing on! When she herself
went to bath, a coolie was sent
with her to wash her back. She
found six baths there without
partitions and at the door her
innkeeper, Fakuda, arguing hot-
ly with two young men who
also wanted to bath at the same
time. •
"I very clever man!' he ex-
plained when at last they gave
way. "I tell them. English lady
very peculiar; always takes six
baths at once!" It took her ten
minutes to'persuade the coolie to
leave.without-washing her back,
but immediately she had finished
bathing he was back again and
she .wondered how he knew that
she .was ready to 'leave!
SMUGGLERS' PLAN
WAS WALKOVER
How Can I?
It is 'heartening that the "You
Auto Buy Now" campaign, tried
in a number of American cities,
seems to be successful. Cleve-
land, for one, has succeeded in
increasing sales in the last few
months with this campaign. And
now it is trying to stimulate sales
still further by putting uniform
price ceilings on new cars. This
might be a model for manufac-
turers and dealers throughout
the ,country to follow.
Turn back the files of The
Courant for' 25 years to May,
1933, Thanks to the depression
there were' few automobile 'ad-
vertisements. Yet .those that did
appear differed from the present
ones, and not only because ad-
"vertising techniques have been
-refined since then. In one ad the
most visible thing after the pic-
ture of the "new and larger
Essex Terraplane," was the price
in conspicuous letters:' "$505 for
the coupe, f.o.b. Detroit." Again,
all models, of the Willys were
identified with a fixed price for
each. And the "new,cushion-bal-
anced" 'Chevrolet 6 could "now
."be bought for from $445 to $565."
To •these free-on-board prices, of

If you' want to smuggle some-

this is how 10,000 army 'boots

very vigilant French authorities

to it.
Army boots for men are strict-

Miss. Esylt Newbery, lecturer
and world traveler, has seen
some strange sights on her wan-
derings. In primitive Albania
she saw , a woman carrying a
heavy wooden cradle containing
a baby on her head; on her back
was a big bundle of wood, 'Tan
her hands a distaff — and as she
walked along she was busily
spinning!
In the middle of a broad high-
way she saw two countrywomen
in picturesque costume sitting
chatting, with cars, bicycles, ox-
carts, omnibuses, horsemen swirl-
ing past them. Feeling' like a
gossip they had just squatted
clown oblivious of all the traffic!
Miss Newbery, wh6 writes
vividly of her nomad life in
"Parson's Daughter", also saw
something of Albania's vendetta
feuds, for while she was in.
Tirana an avenger killed hie
enemy on the steps of the local
police station.
If he were hanged -his tribie,
would at once try to level tip the,
score so his house and all its
contents were burned down be-
fore his eyes: Only by leaving
him homeless with the ,Iong,
hard winter -approaching would
he wonder if the game was real-
ly worth while. This', form of
punishment Miss Newbery says,
has don% more to end bloody •
feuds than any other.
In Vladivostok . where she
taught a Russian woman English,
she had ,to go to a doctor for
treatment after being stung by
a sting-ray while bathing. When •
he left the consulting room to
make up 'a prescription she ask-
ed her Russian friend what his•
fee would be.
"Oh," she replied "you need
not pay him unless:you like there
is no . settled fee, and he won't
demean himself to ask you for'
money."
"Then how does he 'live?"
queried 'Miss Newbery.
"Well, most people pay , but
it would be very insulting for
you to give it to him personally...
You'must hide it somewhere,. -
about the room.and he will find
it after we have gone."
So she hid a ten-rouble 'note
,in ,a brass jar on his desk, then,
when he came back with th•C
medicine just shook hands,
thanked, him, and left.
Miss Newbery was strolling
along a Vladivostok street when
out of the door of ashouse came,
what looked' like a =new white
punt with deep'.bides, carried on
the head'of a smalrboy who was
tompletely hidden ,by it. Then
came a robed priest, singing
loudly,'.attended by two koy at-
tendants, also• singing and carry-
ing lighted candles. Behind these
came a• shallow coffin ' borne
shoulder-high by six men in%
drees suits.
Seated in it almost -upright,
with hands . folded, was - the
'corpse of• a 'very handsome old
lady.
Family mourners followed, tail
.in masses of crepe, the men in
tall hats with long crepe steeame
ers; then a choir "of girls' singing
a dirge, When the procession
reached the street, friends and
neighbors joined it,
At the - cathedral the coffin
was placed on a bier, a woman
stood by it with a handlterehief
t& keep the flies off the old lady's
face. After the funeral service
all the Mourner's Moved round
the corpse, each one kissing her
on the cheek.
She Was then taken to the
blitnichyard' and lowered into the
grave, the mourners passing in
Oh orderly file to take, last
look at her sitting i so calmly
down below Siitally, ,the great
lid that reSernbled a 'punt was
lowered on to it, and the RUS-
Sian funeral Was over.
"Otir Ways With Deatily" her
Russian friend eXpleened later,
"are so much better than yofirs,
for We keep our dear ones with
us right tip to the end,"
Japan Mis Newbery saw
