Commissioner lludncs' oil mi said
no calculation bad been made to
determine what the increase would

The cost of collision insurance

The increases are the result of

the rate of automobile accidents
has increased over 22 per cenl in

Training The Child
In Safety Habits
By CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.
THE kitchen is a very interest

toddler. Vet many a little child
spends considerable time there,
lie w ants to be where his mother is.
The mother should be very care

s' dangers in the kitch-
i r how careful the
iliay be.
ce.'Jain mother's back
was turned lr two -year -old
cliinh. d to the '.kitchen cupboard,
swallow ed suun cathartics and
died scvoftd lnuirs afterwards,
't his could not have happened if
the child had Li-cn sufficiently
trained to iwnid automatically cer
tain def.mloaets a.od places in the
kitehen.
The u n restrained! tot can easily
climb uii anil seize a knife or pull
down on himself at vessel of hot
liquid. Also. h; can -easily turn on
the gas jet. Ttnei otlua- day a mother
who said Fhe .did not believe in
spanking admit-ed'-she did spank
her you n"--tor, tliree. "He made me
so angry for he tc rned off,the gas
mil ruined my cake"
Iludget X'ime
I suggested to her that if she
.arc, about the safdty of that child
she budget her time so as to make
sure she will be right near him
every time he is near a gas jet, and
always when he i about to reach
. for it she smack him soundly on bis
I bare bottom making sure it really
'hurts.
The wise mother is never too
.busy to train the tot consistently
to avoid all specific, known con
stant dangers in the kitchen,
i Every time he reaches above him-
; self for anything on the kitchen
j table and the like he will get in
stant pain. There must be no ex
ceptions. Then he will be compara
tively safe in the kitchen. My bul
letin, "How Teach Tot Meaning of
No may be had in a stamped ad
dressed envelope.
Let the young child play only In
the safest place in the kitchen and
have lots of pans, lids and food con
tainers to enjoy. Fine if he can
have a box or drawer or low shelf
or cupboard full of them to get at
as he likes. No better toys for a tot.
Stand on Box
Also, find time to let him stand
beside you on a solid box or chair
to watch and help you wash vege
tables or the dishes and mix dough
and the like. Wonderful when he
also can have some dough to knead
or water to pour through a funnel
into bottles at the kitchen sink.
This takes time and patience but
wins his co-operation and helps
him learn all the faster through
necessary pain to avoid the few
known hazards.
Let me add that the toddler who
has learned through pain consis
tently applied to avoid a few spe
cific constant perils acquires an
attitude of caution toward unex
pected dangers. If, for example,
he automatically avoids the gas jet
and reaching above himself in the
kitchen, he will be more likely to
pause and merely look with amaze
ment at a vessel of hot water left
on the floor by a careless person,
without touching H. As you know,
caution is the basis of safety at
any age.
Collection Of Bugs

Schumann, recently discharged
Army captain, collected the SOU

collection probably is the most
valuable of ils kind ever received
by the museum.

deadly poisonous snake which fre
tiienlly reaches eight I eel in

The collection will be placed on
