Dear Helen Worth What can I do with a little son of four who is already more than I can manage? lie Is really wearing me out, for it simply impossible to make him mind, and no is forever getting Into mischief, I am afraid to have him play with the neighbors' children, yet I cannot Icepp him In the house nil the time.

He has hurt other children, arid also annoyed the neighbors in various ways. I can Ret no help whatever from my htis-band, who only laughs and says he Is Rind the boy Is not a sissy, and that he was a "tough Ruy" and "look at him now, a law-abiding citizen, a Rood provider and everything" But Helen Worth, that does rot help me, and I am at a lost what to do, for the child Is too much for me, Any ndvlce you can give me will be appreciated. WORRIED MOTHER. My dear "Worried Mother" If you cannot manage him at four, where will you be and what will you both do when he Is fourteen? It would seem to me that the first thing for you to do is to educate yourself for your Job the greatest one In the world I Go to the public libraries and procure for yourself some of the many fine books on child training which have been written by experts. Apply yourself to these as you did to your text books In youth, Learn from those who have gone before the meaning of your child's misbehavior, and Its correction.

If personal reply la desired, stamped, addressed envelope MUST be Inclosed. By JANE LESLIE KIFT. When your Easter lily hai finished blooming you naturaUy look forward to that time, several months hence, whe the plant will again be covered with perhaps a half dozen large, pure white blossoms. Your expectations will be realized provided you give your plant prop tr care at this Boon It will enter Its period of well-deserved rest, co that it must not be molested in any way. The first thing to do as the flow, ers fade is to cut them off one at a time in order to encourage the last bud to unfold.

When the last flower is gone, gradually stop watering the plant. For five. days give it only two cups of water a day; for five more days give it two cups every other day, after that give It none at all. After you have stopped watering your lily, set the pot containing the bulb in a dark, dry place and leave It for several weeks. After the soil is quite dry and hard in the pot, remove the bib and shake off the dry loam from about the roots.

From now on the treatment you should give It depends entirely or what you wish the plant to do. Usually the Easter lilies have been so thoroughly forced in the greenhouse that the vitality of the bulb is at low ebb, so that larg heads of bloom cart rarely be developed In the house the following year. However, If you are content to have rather indifferent- blossoms next Easter you may be reasonably sure Df having especially fine ones the third season, For the benefit of those impatient persons who cannot wait two years 1 or reaiiy nne lilies, allow me to suggest that they set the bulbs when they are entirely ripe, some sunny place in the garden and leave them to follow their own Inclinations, Usually If the soil In which they are planted Is rich, the bulbs will begin to grow immediately and by the last of August there will be more lilies. These flowers will not be quite as large as those obtained at Easter, but they will be equally perfect ones. This method of outdoor culture is, I think, a much more practical one than attempting to make the bulb flower every Easter.

This is not due to fat, for I am a very strong, muscular type. Should I try to lose weight? My ankle measures 8 Inches, my calf 1214 and my thigh 22. Are these correct? STELLA.

Keep Household Machinery Well Oiled for Good Results Give your household machinery small but frequent doses of oil, prescribes the New York Slte College of Home Economics.

A drop or two of oil used often on the moving parts of washing machines, vacuum oleaners and sewing machines makes toea Jiore efficient than a large apotint of oil used occasionally. Most household machines should be oiled every two weeks. For machines which are not often used once a month is enough. The sewing machine should have a little oil three or four times a year. Every bearing and Joint where one part moves against another should be lubricated, including the bearings beneath the table.

Too thick as well as too much oil tends to clog the maohlnery. Dirty oil with grit in it may actually harm the machine. A high grade of light machine oil like that used in the generators of automobiles should be used for the larger electric motors such as those on washing machines, Most vacuum cleaner motors have ball bearings and do not need oiling.
