We shall be glad to discuss your own requirements for such services without cost or obligation. 1 Self-Reliant Babies By MRS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT THERE is vone thing which I would like to say to young parents: Do not look for trouble.

Trouble will come" sometimes, a baby will be sick and you should be quick to notice any of the signs which mean real illness, but some of the children whom I know who are ill most of the time are those wrapped around in cotton wool. I always remember with joy, a story of some poor little ricbchil-dren who went into the street accompanied by two nurses and who were never allowed if they dropped a toy on the floor of their nursery to pick it up again, for fear they might acquire germs. Some one them on the street one day saw their nurses talking to' a friend and these carefully guarded darlings were licking a line along the stone building, acquiring probably more germs" than they had ever encountered in their lives before! Fear is a bad thing at all times and should be eliminated from our lives as much as possible. The atmosphere created by the people around little children will react very quickly on thpm and so remember if you are bringing up a baby that it is important for you to watch your own discipline. You must not lose your temper if your baby is to be good-tempered and placid.

There is much truth in some of the time-worn jokes. In very truth a child does bring up not only his father but his mother, too. I would like to emphasize again the value to the motherland father as well as to the child, of mothers caring for their own children at least at some period of their lives, preferably during the first year. Of course, this is advice, which Lodge of Odd Fellows, the United Commercial Travelers and Wachusett Country Club. He was grand chaplain of the Commercial Travelers in 1932.

The funeral will be held Friday at 2 in the funeral chapel of the George Sessions Sons' Company, 71 Pleasant st. WILFRED J.

DeMeule, the son of Mr and Mrs Edmond DeMeule of 60 Perkins st, died yesterday at the Mare Island Naval Hospital in California, according to word received here today. Seven years ago today, at the age of 18, DeMeule joined the United States Marines.

In a skirmish with Chinese bandits on April 9, 1933, he was wounded severely in the stomach. For six months the youth fought for his life in the naval hos pital at Shanghai, and then was transferred to the- Mare Island Hospital, where they felt he could receive better attention. He was there slightly more than" six months. During the past year he underwent 10 operations. H( is survived bv his Barents, three sisters, Mrs William Morgan, Mrs, Jean Italian and Gertrude, and two brothers, Robert and Armand, all of Salem.

The body will be returned here, but no date has been announced for the funeral. COL EDWIN A. SHERMAN NEWPORT, June 13 (A. Col Edwin A. Sherman, owner and publisher of the Newport Daily News, died following an operation at a local hospital late tonight.

Col Sherman was born here, June 16, 1879. the son of Albert J. Sherman. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1901 and spent his entire life in this city. He purchased the Daily News In 1918 from the late T.

Jr and Albert and his mother, Mrs Mary Barker Sherman. VAN BORING (He Never Says a the average woman does not need, because she knows that when 'her baby, is born she is going to have to take care of it herself. Even when the circumstances of the parents allow them to have nurse, they lose much of the -joy if they do not themselves do everything for the baby. Besides, the average young mother father are timid and willing to rely on the judgment of somebody more experienced. It is in order to get over this idea and develop their own self-reliahce' as far as the children are concerned that I would urge them to accept this responsibility without any outside assistance.

However, if the mother has to work as well as the lather and economic necessity makes it advisable for her to provide some one to look after her child, that person should be chosen with extreme care. If it is a neighbor, be sure that she has the qualities of mind and heart and intelligence which will make it possible for her to bring up your baby in the way you would do it And remember how vitally important are those first years and that the qualities of the person coming in close contact with your child make an indelible impression on that child's mind. Every child should have periodic examinations by a doctor in order to make sure that he is-kept in good health. The same general rules apply to children as to adults; but they must have more air, more sleep, better food, more carefully chosen and carefully, cooked, and a greater amount of exercise. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.) Tomorrow Economizing Wisely DR DAVENPORT, 109, DISCUSSES "YOUTH" Smoking a cigarette and laughing, Dr Charlotte Davenport, now at the tender age of, 109, delivered a lecture on "Youth" at the Hotel Brunswick last night before a group of 100 people.

The amazingly active woman, who has been married three times and has had 17. children, the oldest of whom is a man 93 years young, living in Spain, informed her audience that they could Vpotter around if they wanted to, but that she was through with it, and was going straight ahead from now on. She opened her address with a quotation from her husband, a former war correspondent for a London newspaper, and now recovering from shell shock: "You are as old as you doubt, and as young as you hope. Youth is not a period of time, but a condition of the emotions, and a love of adven ture." The doctor recalled adventures of the past and spoke of her hopes for tne iuture. JAMES J.

Word) By Tish Tash On a balmy Saturday in June, 1 90 1 Boston turned its attention to the Country Club race track at Clyde Park, Brookline. On this occasion the dust on the famous old track was not to be kicked up by galloping hoofs.

It was the dawn of motor racing in Boston. Ten times around the half-mile circuit at the Jjreath-taking pace of 35 miles an hour sped the odoriferous procession. Victor's laurels in the final and championship race between Robinson's 1 8 horse-power gasoline carriage, Riker's 8 horse-power electric racer and Skinner's quadricycle fell to Robinson in the smashing time of eight minutes and forty-four seconds for the five miles. Boston picked up the reins and drove home, impressed, but entertaining no immediate plans for putting the horse out to permanent pasture. In 1 90 1, with a new era of prosperity dawning, the management of property held few of its present-day complexities.

Mr Champlin was a member of Montacute Lodge of Masons, Ridgeley Allied with The Firs a i a a of X3 THORNTON Another Member PETER RABBIT was just about to ask if he might go along with and see his nest when a new voice broke in.

"What are you fellows talking about?" it demanded, and there flitted just in front of Peter a little bird the size of a sparrow, but lovelier than any sparrow of Peter's acquaintance. At first glance he seemed to be all blue, and such a lovely bright blue! But as he paused for an instant Peter, saw that his wings and tail "You mioht to he thankful. Pptr bit, that you haven't a coat like his." were mostly black, and that the lovely blue was brightest on his head and back. It'was Indigo the Bunting. "We were talking about "our family," replied Chewink.

"I was telling Peter that we belong to the largest family among the birds." "But you didn say anything about Indigo," interrupted Peter. 'Do you mean to say that he belongs to the same family?" "I surely do, replied Indieo. "I'm rather closely related to the Sparrow branch. Don't I look like a Sparrow?" Peter looked at Indigo closelv. "In size and shape you da," he confessed, "but just the same, I should nevpr in the world have thought of connecting you with the Sparrows." Mow about me? asked another voice, and a little brown bird flaw up beside Indigo, twitching her tail nervously, one looked very sparrow-like Indeed, so much so, that had not Peter seen her with her handsome male she wa Mrs i ston BURGESS of a Big Family Indigo) he certainly would hav taken her for a sparrow.

Only on her wings was there any of th blue which made Indigo's coat so beautiful, and this was only a faint tinge. "I'll have to confess that so far as j-ou are concerned it isn't hard to think of you as related to the Sparrows declared Peter. Don't you sometimes wish you were as hand some as indigo? Mrs Indigo shook her head in tht most decided way. "Never," she declared. "I have worries enough raising a family as it is, but if had a coat like his I wouldn't have a moment of peace.

You have no idea how I worry about him sometimes. You ought to be thankful, Peter Rabbit, that you haven't a coat like his. It attracts altogether too much attention." Peter tried to picture himself in a bright blue coat and laughed right out at the mere thought and the others joined with him. Then Indigo flew to the top of a tall tree and began to sing. It wai a lively soog and Peter enjoyed it thoroughly.

Mrs Indigo took vniji opportunity to slip away unobserved end when Peter looked around qp Chewink, he. too, had disappeared, He had gone to tell Mrs Chewink tha? he was quite safe and that she had -othing to worry about. (Copyrieht. byT. W.
