Five spectacular nortravala Ijy of native American cere- monial head- dress will be A 25 Slater Mill, built by English immigrant Samuel Slater, was the first factory in America to successfully produce cotton yarn with water-powered machines, marking the beginning of the factory system in Rhode Island.

During the 19th century and into the early 20th century, textile manufacturing was a major industry in Rhode Island. Rhode Island, the smallest state, boasts the longest official name, "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." The first settlement was made in Providence by Roger Williams in 1636, followed by others searching for religious and political freedom. 1992 Olympics The U.S. Postal Service will sponsor the 1992 Olympic Games in Albertville, France, and Barcelona, Spain, Postmaster General Anthony M.

Capital scenes A colorful 15-cent postal card featuring our nation's capital is now in circulation. Washington D.C. is the fourth city to be celebrated in the America the Beautiful Series of postal cards, which pays tribute to our nation's diverse regional beauty.

The design of the Washington postal card portrays an evening view of the west face of the Capitol illuminated by a full moon and framed by foliage in the foreground. A deep blue starry sky provides a dramatic backdrop. A mark in stamps As was the case in many postal developments, the breakthrough in the use of stamps occurred in England. Sir Rowland Hill, about 1836 or 1837, was staying at an inn in England.

The story goes that the postman called with a letter for one of the maids. Sir Rowland was standing by when the mail came. The maid looked at the letter, which came collect, and returned it to the postman, saying, "You will just have to destroy it; I can't pay the postage." Sir Rowland, sympathetic with the maid's plight, gallantly paid the charge, the maid took the letter and the postman left. "I'm sorry you did that," said the tnaid. "My sweetheart and I have adopted the plan of putting our messages on ElacklleritagoUS A started out with a mean frequency of 90 minutes.

Here, the parent maintained the child's established bedtime and ignored tantrum behavior for specific time intervals determined by the child's age and the parent's tolerance for crying. Parents were allowed to comfort their child between intervals for 15 seconds or less and then told to leave the room until the next interval if the child was still unhappy. Anytime the child got out of bed. he or she was put back mn and told it was time to go to sleep. Then, each week, the interval between comforting sessions the waiting period was lengthened.

Of the two approaches, Adams prefers the positive reinforcement To begin with, she thinks it has a carry-over effect. You're teaching a child to go to bed, she said, but you're also teaching them that if they behave they get something good for it They have some kind of a framework to understand that if this happens, then this happens. Also, the parents seemed to benefit most from this mode, she said. They weren't as stressed out having tS listen to the child cry. Continued from Page 1 the child normally falls asleep anyway.

But don't panic. Just because the child normally falls asleep at 10 p.m. doesn't mean that it always has to be that way. It's just that the parent needs to start the training at a time when the war is just about won anyway and then work backward. Slowly.

Starting the bedtime routine 15 minutes earlier each week until parent and -the child reach a bedtime both can live with. Adams said that the first two weeks are the hardest Yet if the parent can hang in there, the results are impressive. The positive routines group started out the study with a mean tantrum frequency of 90 minutes. By the second week that time had been reduced to 50 minutes, by the third week 30 minutes and at the fourth week, 10 minutes. If positive reinforcement isn't your style, Adams also had a group that used the graduated extinction method for reducing bedtime trums.

And it worked almost as welL Tantrums by the sixth week lasted only 20 minutes, having Folk Art Series ROTHBLUM next summer. A colorful commemorative in the Constitution Series will honor the 200th anniversary of Rhode Island statehood. Rhode Island was the final member of the original 13 colonies to ratify the U.S. Constitution on May 29, 1790. The Indian headdress commem-oratives depict colorful feather bonnets from the Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Flathead, and Shoshone tribes.

The designs are based on a privately owned Comanche bonnet and four bonnets in the Plains Indian Museum in Cody, Wyoming. The Rhode Island Statehood commemorative features the historic Slater Mill in Pawtucket. It contains the notation "Slater Mill. 1793" since the mill as completed 1 three years after Rhode Island achieved statehood. Rights activist: Ida B.

In that way it doesn't cost us anything to exchange messages." Sir Rowland began to think that the English Post Office Department should devise some scheme for requiring prepayment of postage.

Out of his thoughts came the idea of postage stamps..
