Trench Coats Are Popular With Small Fry AP Newsfeatures There's nothing that pleases small fry as much as having clothes Just like Dad's?or Mom's. Newest contribution to this type of juvenile Joy Is an authentic trench coat, made in Germany, complete with shoulder epaulets, yoke back, stitched belt, high turn up collar, deep pockets and plaid lining. Boys and girls feel as dramatic as their favorite TV sleuth when wearing this dashing garment, which also is water-repel lent, wind-resistant and washable. The same styles are made for all the family?Mom and Pop as Well as Sis and Junior ? and they're selling like hot-cakes in the United States. It's a strange thing, and one on which clothing manufacturers might ponder, that fads may come and fads may go, but there are a few classic styles that go on for pver. One is the camel's hair polo coat, as popular today as it was 20 ; years ago. Another is the mlddv and skirt, which returns periodical- : ly to fashion favor?as for Instance right now. The plain one-piece wool-knit bathing suit is another item which always conhes back. And then there's the oilskin dicker, which never has gone out jf style since the flapper era, and s one of the best-selling garments My Favorite Stories By CARL GOERCII Dr. T. C. Britt used to be health >fTicer down in Beaufort *County ind I knew him while I lived down n that section of the state. It wasn't long after Doc had ?ome to Washington before he had nade himself decidedly popular vith the folks. He has a genial dis >osition and is mighty good com >any. Everybody who knew him in leaufort County was genuinely ond of him. I ran into him one day in front if Worthy and Ethcridge drug Btore ind I said: "Doc, how about taking i little trip with me this evening?" "Where you going?" "Got to make a talk out of town it an Americah Legion meeting; ve'U be back home by about ten >'clock." "Suits me. What time you going o leave?" ? ' ?* * "Six o'clock.

"Hop in," I told him " "We're all i ?eady to go." He hesitated a moment and i leemed to be in some confusion. ] Tm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't je able to make the trip," he finally i dated. I "What in the world is the mat- 1 er? I thought you said this morn ng that you'd be glad to go?" "Yes. but you see my wife was aken ill during the day and her "ondilion Is right critical. I'm ?fraid to leave her or to go out of own. Doctor said she was in nighty bad shape." "Well," I told him. "I certainly im sorry you aren't going, hut I "an appreciate your position. I lope your wife will soon be better, f>oc." "Thank you." "Just the same, you're going to :hildren visited relatives at Mur phy over the week end. Hugh Early is recuperating at his home after an appendectomy it the Haywood County Hospital. Mrs. Mary Russell is visiting her lister, Mrs. Clinton Holland and Mr. Holland. In Alabama this week.

"Mother, do allow thia character how yon treined rather!" ?a* ? in?inriTii?i w.i ii fit miss a real good time up in Rich Square." He looked at me in surprise, "Where did you say?" "Rich Square," I repeated. "You mean you're going to Rich Square?" "Why, of course; I thought I told you that this morning." "No, you didn't say anything about it. I believe I'll go with you. Move over." "But how about your wife?" "She's all right." "But what?" "Never mind. Everything's O.K. I thought you were going to Scot land Neck." We started off on our trip to Rich Square and gradually I learn ed the whole story. We also had at that time?and still have?in Washirfpon, a citizen by the name of Ed Jennette. The only thing I've got against him is that he has a peculiar sense of hu mor. (Like some other folks you know, but it isn't necessary to get personal.) It seems that Ed had met Dr. Britt on the street shortly af ter I had invited him to take the trip with me and Doc had casually mentioned the fact that he had ac cepted the invitation. "Where are you going?" Ed had isked him. "I don't exactly know," Doc had replied. "Some kituf of American Legion meeting, 1 believe it is." "Oh, yes. Scotland Neck," Ed had remarked quickly. And then, with Itreat seriousness: "But 1 don't be lieve I'd go with Carl up there, Doc, if I were you." "Why?" "Well, you see; he spoke up there JUNIOR COUNTERSPIES . . . They're dressed just like their favorite TV sleuths in regulation imported trenc he oats, water and-wind-repellent and washable. In the juvenile wardrobe today. I The reason must be that all these things are functional, make sense, have no unnecessary frills or furbelows and dtm't cost too much. The same is true of the trench coat, which was born during World War I and has been going strong ever since, with a big boost during World War II and now added im petus from eurrent TV foreign cor respondent thrillers. a couple of months ago and made the people so mad that they've been laying for him ever since. That's the reason they've invited him up there again. I passed through Scot land Neck yesterday and they told me that they're going to greet him with a barrage of ripe vegetables and eggs when he puts in his ap pearance on the platform." "Is that a fact?" "Absolutely true. Of course. If you want to go, it's none of my business, but I wouldn't take the chance." Doc thanked him and left. He's a peace loving man and doesn t like disturbances or trouble of any kind. The more he kept thinking about that trip to Scotland Neck, the less he wanted to go. And that was why he had tried to back out at the last minute. "Why, that darned scoundrel was telling you a pack of lies." I told him. "There wasn't a word of truth in what he said." "You mean. Ed made up the whole story?" "Certainly he did." And that's exactly what the reprobate had done, and both Doc and I proceeded to tell him, when we got back to Washington again, exactly what we thought of him. But he just stood there and laughed at us, so we didn't get much satisfaction. Fiery Mash ANGOLA, La. <AP) ?

' PHREIIT PROBLtmS Developing a Love For Reading Books ty CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. SOMK children vho got their flrat reading lessons at school several months ago have caught on to It very well. Some others can barely read a sentence or even a phrase yet. A few others, In the second or even third grade, have made little or no progress at reading. Nor Is It nearly always a mat ter of Intelligence. Same very bright children may not get the hang of reading for a long while. How Parents May Help Here are some ways of helping the child at home in the early steps of reading. Read aloud to him from some of the many attractive, well Illustrated books you can find In the library, or purchase at your bookstore. You may also find good ones at your drugstore or newsstand. The cost will run from a quarter to a few -dollars. Many of these books are more Interesting than the child's school primer or first reader. As the child looks, and listens, he gets familiar with the sound of words and phrases and their meanings. He sees how the woMs on the page tell the reader what toady. Start Modestly Choose some of these books which have only a few sentences on each page or under each ple ture. Also some which have pic tured words or phrases, or sen tences?one word or phrase or sentence to each picture You will tartly find some very goad onoe . lOwntfta, us*. tn? n which hare appeared In recent months. On? of the children's maga zines, not on the newsstand, has many such aids; also groups of pictured words which begin with the same sound, and pictured words which rhyme. Gcdning the Moaning of Words From such pictured pages the child, hearing each word or group of words In connection with the ' picture It names or tells about, Is soon teaching himself to read these words or group of words. He's not lust pronouncing words. They hare meaning for him, meaning gained from the pic tures. In this age of many pictures In nearly every current publication, the cnlld learning to read can be turned profitably to cutting out certain familiar ones and making a scrapbook of them His parents can help him to group them; pete, toys, furniture, and type or print boldly the name of each thing under lta picture In this way. the child aoon grows familiar with a number of words which he ean easily recognise and say, as he sees them among other words in a sentence he attempta to read, xnswmmo paazam questions Q Our son ean say a multiplica tion table perfectly, but when, for example, he Is asked how many are I times 9, he doesn't know. A. After be has learned a table, place the multiplication facta In It on cards, one to a card. Shuffle the cards. Then hare him practice en the facte In chance order. ?tux IwSku. Im.)
