Nekolikrate jsem si vzpoinnel vYroku skytuje, na na g NernccenskY odbor. Sta.*dila by jedna otazka, asi takto: Rex Jame&ova, ze valycky dekame, se nagi elenove roskYvaji. Napsal jsem "Toto pojigteni je pro pi'ipad smrti cd to doby elanek o nagi nemocenske ncbo trvanlive neschopnosti, kdy nemusipodpote a umistil jsem jej na ptedni stra- te platit sve mesieni poplatky na Sivotne Vestniku nekdy koncem , tijna.

Proto zorneni je organisatorovou pcvinnosti.

ate jednu Sadost, totiS pkihlasita se do Nemocenskeho-odboru.

Proe je to, Se nevysvetlime naairn novym elentim, jake vYhody a slulby naae SPJST poskytuje? Proe nemaji naai organisatoki pottebne listiny, aby Sadosti do Nemocenskeho odboru mohli vypiniti zarovett se Sadosti o pojiteni? Prod to nebylo nikdy nagim organisatortim pkipomenuto? Jedine proto, z nag NemocenskY odbor nebereme \ratite, nevidime v teto otazce dale net nekolik krokil pied sebe. Vribec netrvatujeme rJ nemoci, ani o moSnosti firazu.

Statistika poSaroveho poji gteni udave., Se pouze jedna budova ze 1200 shoti. Avgak ye stati 35 let zemte jedna osoba na katdYch 220 lidi. Odbornici odhaduji, Se kaklY den v tomto roce bude 25,000 lidi nemocnYch nebo neschopnYch nasledkem arazu a ne gtesti. Jestli znasobrine tuto Oislici poetem clni v roce, znamena to, ze v rode 1953 budeme miti pi-es 9 milionri lidi postiSenYch nemaci nebo rirazem.

tleninn od redaktora... 're dneeh, kdy etenove budou eisti toto eislo Vestniku, na g e Hlavni iadovna bude ji2 sestavena podle rozh•dnuti 16. sjezdu, konaneho loni v eervnu v Houstonu.

Podobne v novkch stanovdch jsou Udana jmena a adresy v g ech vedoucich.

Mezi hlavnimi eincvniky, ac nejsou iiiedriiky, jscu zane g eni elenove Tiskoveho vkbortt, ptedseda a tajempik budoueiho ptedsjezdoveho stanovniho vkboru, a teZ vrchni lekat a redaktor VeStniku.

Vim jiZ ptedem, -1e referat bude dcsti •b g irnk, nebot' byla cell). iada novkch problemii a otazek, ktere musely bYti vyte g eny. PonevadZ latka pro toto eislo musi bYti hotova a ukladdria do tiska • skYch forem v pondeli, kdy se schiize kond, neni moZno na zpravu o schtizi Hlavni fitadovny aekati.

V sobotu tohoto tydne, 17. ledna, bude miti svou pravidelnou schtizi Tiskovk vkbor, vyclavatele Vestniku -a redaktor listu. PonevadZ Vivala funkce vkpomoeneho redaktora pro anglickou east odpadla a sjezd tizeni celeho listu vlaZil do rukou jedne osoby, nynej g i redaktor pozval TiskovY vkbor a vydavatele, aby schtize konala se v Houstonu v residenci redaktora. Stanovy natizuji, ze v teto koname jednou rOdne, projedna-. ji se v g echny p • ednasti a nedostatky Vestniku. Osobne bych soudil, ze o piedncstech neni tieba jednati, zato o ne7 dostatcich ano. Je to vlastne schfize, kde se ma naznaelti lep g i price a reklama, jakou ma na g organ mezi etenati konat.

Proto jakYkoliv pokyn od kterehokoliv olena SPJST, smetujici ku zlep g eni listu a k usilovnej g i spolupraci mezi eleny, Hlavni fitadovnou, domacimi tady, no• ve utvatenYmi sedmi distrikty a redaktorem, mel by bYti poslan, ptedsedovi Tiskoveho vkboru, bratru Jos.

V nedeli, 18. ledna bude paradin g g tola pro organisatory v g estem distriktu.

Jak ptedseda. Marek sdelil, ka,Zdy crganisator v g estem distriktu dostane pozvani, aby piijel , do Hallettsville tuto necieli a piipravil se na vyslechnuti novkch instrukci pro organisatory. Bylo by radno, aby kaZdY organisator p • ines1 si malou poznainkovou knilku a tuZku nebo pinici pero, by 'ph ptedna g ce mchl si de/ati poznamky.

Podobna organisatorslui schilze bude potadana etvrtou nedeli, dne 254eStia, pro organisatory v distriktu sKimem.

Dosud nebylo misto stanoveno, ac Floresville nebo Kenedy by byly nejvYhcdnej g i vzhledem ku vzdalenosti. Misto teto organisatorske schfize bude oznameno kaZdeinu organisatoru v sedmem distriktu osobnim dopisem z ,Hlavni ittadoyny. Bude to skuteend g kola organisatoru, a proto Zadny organisator nernel by schazeti.

HOUSTON POLICEMAN HONORED The readers of the Vestnik will rea story, printed in the Vestnik only a short while back, about a young dope fighter who had enrolled at the Wichita Falls High School to uproot a gang that had been selling marijuana to students there. Before printing the story, I wrote to Brother Otto Stehlik, president of Independence Lodge No. 76 in Wichita Falls, inquiring how much of the story was a pure fiction and what part of it was true.

Brother Stehlik replied that every word of it was true. Not only that, but Brother Stehlik gave me the young man's name, his Houston address, also his telephone number. At that time, of course, I was not free to reveal the identity of the Houston policeman.

Last week Brother Stehlik mailed me a clipping from a Wichita Falls newspaper. The clipping is reprinted for the benefit of those who had read the previous story published in the Vestnik, It says: JOE FOSTER IS HONORED

BY JAYCEES

Texas Joe Foster of Houston, 26, who won nation-wide fame for his outstanding work in cracking a dope ring operating among teenagers in Wichita Falls, has been named by the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce as one of the 10 outstanding men 'Of the country for 1952.

Better known here as "Weedhead," a title given him by officersand newspapers until his identity was made public months later, Texas Foster posed as a teen-age dope addict, attended Wichita Palls public schools and breezed up and down Wichita Falls streets in a flashy automobile as he gathered evidence that blew the lid off a narcotics ring providing dope for teen-agers here and elsewhere.

His work here and the resulting story won for him nation-wide publicity. A member of the Houston police department, Foster undertook the undercover work because of his intense hatred for peddlers of narcotics. His father. working to track down a narcotics ring, was killed in the line of duty while Foster was a small boy.

The following day after I received Brother Stehlik's letter with the abovel newspaper story, The Houston Chronicle, in its Sunday issue, January 4, 1953, brought a picture of Texas J. Foster, Houston policeman, receiving the congratulation of Jesse H. Jones for Foster's/ undercover work as a narcotic inspector, The Houston Chronicle had a bit more

Orlon continuous-filament yarn is the most silklike synthetic fiber, while orlon staple is the most woollike synthetic fiber cf which we have knowledge.

Its resistance to exposure is so good that we feel it is the best fiber we know of —natural or .man-made for outdoor use.

Another synthetic fabric that has worked its way from the chemical laboratories to 1the dePartment store is Dacron. It s derived front petroleum or coal and natural gas. Dacron has many chemicals used in antifreeze. Dacron is known chiefly for its durability; to hold its shape despite perspiration, rain or net weather. Sour notes about dacron are that it has a tendency to glaze tinder an iron at normal pressing temperatures; it tends to pucker in the . ciga seams; and sparks from cigars Cr rettes will Melt a hole in dacron before they can be bras.hed off, whereas it would only singe a woolen garment; also suit prices are too high.

The fluffy blanket, lighter and warmer than wool and as soft as mashed potatoes, is made of another synthetic fiber called Dynel. It comes from acrylicvinyl, and; according to Union Carbide, it is the only organic fiber that will not support fire in fine textiles. Dynel is used in the draperies and bedspreads of the 'fireproof" liner "United States".

While it is noncombustible yet it can be ironed only at very low heat, otherwise it will shrink and stiffen. High heat will set a crease in it and neither water nor wrinkling will remove it. According to popular Mechanics for e June 1951, '`dynel men in the home office of the company will show you some startling exhibits. There's a pleated • woellike dynel skirt hanging in a container -of water. 'I think it's- been there two months'--- or is it three . .?' says the man. Every pleat is as knife-sharp as the day it went in. In a container of pure Clorox there were placed two Pi eces dynel and wool. Now there's just dynel.

The fiber is manufactured like rayon' Ind nylon, by forcing through fine holes a liquid which hardens into fibers when it emerges.

Aralac is the first animal member of the synthetic textile family to make its debut. As such, it is like sheep's wool, elastic, soft and warm. It has successfully been used as a blending fiber in suits, coats and dresses.

In view of the great advances in synthetic textiles one wonders if the sheep are not bowing out as the horse did to the tractor and as the silkworm to nylon. Will wool be able to hold its own against the onward march of synthetics?

Everything is being done to keep the woolen industry alive, but in the event that it must bow the bend will not be great, because sheep have not only wool to offer but meat as well.

A few years ago a man operating a soft-drink stand was called before a magistrate for selling adulterated syrups and instructed to tell the truth about the ingredients. Later when an agent checked up on the man, he was found to be complying with the law and his business was booming. In front of the stand was. new sign reading: "All of our soft drinks are guaranteed to be highly adulterated."

WE ARE BEHIND IN READING Someone rang a door bell at the front entrance of my home. I had just inserted a clean sheet of paper in the typewriter and had been sitting there, looking in space and waiting for inspiration to flash. And there was that annoying door bell, A young man came to borrow my copy of the Vestnik. His father had been anxiously waiting for his copy before the New year and every day since. I had to explain that there was no number published the last week of the year. But the young man was pleased that I could loan him a Czech book to take to his father. He was amazed that he could go td the Houston Public Library and borrow almost any number of Czech books.

Than a flash of inspiration came. I recalled that Dr. George Gallup, the famous poll-taker, made a statement that we in America are dragging far behind other democracies in reading habits. And I also recalled how the old SPJST members used to work so that a library would decorate one corner of the todge hall. The .old members still have the habit of borrowing any Czech book that they can locate.

Dr. Gallup have been probing into the book-reading habit of the American people. He claims that fewer people read books in the United States than in any other democracy. Dr. Gallup also asserts that the typical Englishman reads nearly three times as many books as the typical American.

How true is Dr. Gallup's assertion? Let us look at some figures. Let us compare the number of bookstores in the United States with the number found in other countries, for instance, in Denmark. The population of the U. S. is nearly 40 times that of Denmark. The American Booksellers Association reports that we have in this country' 1,400 booksellers. Denmark has 650 stores where books are sold and nothing else. If we had the same proportion, we would have not 1,400 but 22,000.

Dr. Gallup goes on explaining what he and his research crew found out in a recent survey about, the reading habit of Americans. "Many of out college graduates'read only one or two books a year.

We discoved that one in four had not read one book in three months preceding the interview. Five out of 'every six had not done any reading of a serious nature in three months. Of the entire group interviewed, only a little more than half could name any recent published book which they would like to read."

Let me quote some more statements

from Dr. Gallup's survey about our reading habits. He goes on saying: Even more discouraging were the findings on reading habits of teachers, Their habits and knowledge of books were not much different from the reading habits of those in noneducational fields.

One teacher we interviewed in a western state, a graduate of a teacher's•college, admitted she had not read a book for a year. She confirmed this fact by proving that she knew only one book on the current best-seller list.

Another college graduate had not read any book since he left college ten years ago. He knew nothing about any of the current books. Among his amazing answers were these: Shakespeare wrote the Canterbury Tales, Longfellow wrote the Origin of Species a Byron wrote Tom Jones.

Most college graduates are not so illinformed, t am glad to report. But the amazing fact is that we still continue to give Bachelor of Arts degrees to persons who know so little of literature.

I am frequently told that we Americans spend our reading hours on magazines and newspapers. That may be true, but I assure you that if this is the case, a lot of time must be spent reading Lil' Abner and the sport pages.

A few weeks after the two national conventions, we asked people to name the vice-presidential nominee on each ticket. You will recall that virtually every hour of television time was devoted to the two national conventions, that the news mazazines dealt with almost nothing else, and that newspapers covered their front pages with this news. There was a terrific concentration on the convention and personalities involved.

Yet, only one person in four in the adult population could tell us the names of the vice-presidential nominees.

I could cite other examples. A third of all adults ' .questioned in a similar test couldn't identify Dean Acheson. Fewer than half know where the Suez Canal is.

More than half the people cf this country have no idea whatsoever of the size of the population of China.

The plain fact is that, as a people, we are intellectually immature. We have many wonderful qualities which no one is more aware of than I. We are young, strong, generous, and have a copious amount of what might be described as good horse sense. But we aren't intellectual.

My second observation is that our educational system is admirably designed to keep the nation mentally immature.

We need to inquire into our system of

education, which succeeds so well in killing the desire to continue learning after graduation.

My friends in the educational world will agree that one of the first goals, of education should be to instill a love of learning. Another goal should be to teach students enough about government and world problems to enable them to participate in elections. Still another goal should be to give students certain basic skills, such as ability to read, write, and think.

How well do our schools accomplish these goals? I'll leave that answer to you.

Too many of our teachers are men of methods, not of learning. We ditt almatt everything we can to kill the'• desire t,4 continue the- learning process throughout life. Students who are graduated from high school or college are inclined to take the attitude that "we-ve had it.'

But as Sir Richard Livingston, perhaps the greatest authority on education, once said, "It is as unnatural to stop learning at an early age as it is to die at an early age."

The universities of Europe have been far more successful than we. They turn out students who have learned to do their own thinking. As Carlyle put it, "After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place to get knowledge is from books."

The man who has not had the advantage of a college education still has 'a great opportunity. Through books, he can cover the equivalent of many college educations. But before we can expect him to do this, the intellectual climate of America must change. We must get o new respect for learning. We must look at the years after graduation as the period when mental growth is all the more essential.

Sir Richard Livingston puts the case in these colorful words: "A man lives with details and irnmedia.te problems in the narrow, deep-sunk pit of his daily work, and needs to climb out of it and look around. Every moment, the crust of routine is forming over the mind, thickening and impairing its fertility: only a continually renewed activity of thought. can break it up."

It is too much to ask that every petson spend some time each day widening his intellectual horizons? Can anyone think of a better way to lead a richer, mov satisfying life? ) ••( Next time misfortune strikes, remember 'that the dog who lost his tail has one consolation. He holds no feat of tin cans.

DO YOU VE First, you may want to know what are talking about, this inferiority ,co Alex.

About forty years, ago, an Austrian psychologist named Alfred Adler put together a word combination to express a specific psychic situation. His American disciples took up this word com bination and gave it the benefilhof ballyhoo. . Soon il became a topic of conversation at evc , ry breakfast table, and wound up an accented household term.

Adler died in 1937, dismayed and distressed ,it the fate of a scientific coinage that ,had the bad fortune to catch popular fancy.

The LOAM, as you may have surmised, was "inferiority complex." (The word "complex" was borrowed from Freud and his psychoanalytic band.) Broadly speaking, a complex is a series of ideas, the nucleus of which is a central idea with a high ein1ional charge. We all have complexes of one kind or another. mine 1-11 ,,,y be politics, yours religion; a neighbor may react with great emotional.force to the subject of racial discrimination.

Suppose we illustrate by , a simple and relatively minor example. Let us say that you have large ears. They are neither as huge nor as prominent as you imagine them to be. Yet we cannot denY that from the rear 3ioll give somewhat the impression of a g loving cup on display.

Incredible as it may seem, you can, in the period of sensitive adolescenee, build up a substantial complex even of such apparently trivial Material. Normaiiy, if you ,Ire well adjusted, you will come to find that you can win love, respect, business advanCement, and other desiderata despite this crushing handi cap. Somewhere along the line it may have been painted to you that Clark Gable has large ears and has done rather well for himself, despite 'the possession of ears that are scarcely minute.

Or you may have become impressed by the consoling assertion that large ears are a mark of intelligence. At any rate, yOu tend to outgrow pour abnormal sensitivity, your inferiority complex, People are not born bashful or shy.

As in the case of all neuroses, there is a cause. That cause must be discovered and eliminated before there can be any lasting relief.. The victim may read -`will power" volumes and "personality" tomes until he suffers cronic eye strain. They are of no avail.

Let me relate a Tittle experience story: A boy whom I know well was' born left-handed. A trivial circumstance. But

Wednesday,

RITY COMPLEX?

this particular boy nervous, sickly youngster. His mother once told me that, as a baby, he cried more than all her other four children combined.

This boy's first recollection — he could scarcely have been more than three at the time — was of his father correcting him for extending a left hand in greetOng to. a stranger. The patents were not stern, but they were persistent. It was their duty to "break" a left-handed child of an antisocial "habit."

The result was that this little boy, a nervous system not too staunch and sturdy, became hopelessly confused. Instinct told him to do one thing while parental authority bade him do something different — something troublesome and unnatural.

He became overwhelmed with a sense of insecurity. He felt that he was awkard, queer, different in some unaccountable way from his right-handed brothers. He came to dread and fear visitors. Theit approach signaled the hand-shaking ordeal. Whenever possible he would run and hide. And since the father was a university president and their home a social center, the kid got a good deal of exercise. If escape was impracticable, he would cry in genuine terror, and later in futile rebellion.

At the age of five this boy was a full-fledged "neurotic, although the condition was not then recognized. In school, teachers continued the program of converting a stubborn "southpaw."'

The boy did well enough in the prepara, ton of his lessons, but was diffident about reciting. He continued' to live in mortal agony at the prospect of meeting strangers. Regularly:, on "speaking day," he became physically ill at the prospect of delivering a recitation. The pattern of pathologic timidity was becoming firmly established.

When he was eleven, this buy suffered a complete nervous break-dowil. He was taken out of school and thereafter educated by private tutors. Fortunately, by that time, doctors had gained a better understanding of the neurotic. Educators, too, were beginning to see the light.

The boy was permitted to function as a =Mal lefthanded person. The timidity was scientifically combatted and, over a period of years, gradually eradicated.

In fact this boy, perhaps as a result of what, datrists call overcompensation, became, in later years, a professional lecturer.

I have outlined this case in detail because it is a concrete example of how a neurosis actually develops. As it happens; speak with some authority because

I was the victim! I may add that I am still lefthanded! — Told by Maxwell I Droke, publisher of "Quote" magazine.

Mysterious Burial Customs ms Recently; Brother Anton Kopecek of Ennis had a series of articles in the Czeeh section about his and his family's trip to Mexico. It was an enjoyable reading. He had made a mention that they visited the Mexican pyramids where he, in his mind, tried to see a connectien in the similarity of the Egyptian and the Mexican pyramids.

Last month, remarkable parallels with the burial customs of ancient Egypt have been found in a newly discovered Mayan tomb at Palenque, a ruined city in the heart of Mexico's southern jungle, which archaeologists say has been deserted for at least 1009 years.

The tomb lay at the base of a pyramid, surmounted by a handsome temple called the Temple of Inscriptions. The Mexican pyramids had been thought be be solid pedestals for temples atop diem.

The Palenque discovery will give new orientation to 1V1exicon archeology and perhaps lead to illuthination of the mysteriouS development of the Mayan em, vire.

Besides the fact that the pyramid obviously was constructed to hold its prin cely burial Chamber, the discowerers found offerings, saerifices, and a doublee lidded sarcophagus, all reminiscent of Egyptian practices.

Dr. Alberto Ruz of the Mexican Institute of Archaeology, who led the expedition to Palenque, said he considered the parallels evidence that man, wherever he lived, developed his culture along similar lines, rather than a sign hat the Egyptian influence reached the Western Hemisphere in pre-Columbian times.

The chamber at the heart of the Palenque pyrainid was found early this summer. At its center was an ornately and beautifully carved five-ton slab of stone which scientists at first believed to be an altar.

Last month they succeeded in prying it up and found instead that it was the upper covering of a double topped sarcophagus. The second oval lid was pierced with holes. Beneath it lay the . preserved bones of a man who must have been a prince or perhaps the founder of Palenque.

The bones were those of a tall, broad shouldered man, unlike the short lithe Mayans who live in Southeastern Mexico and GUatemala today. They were stained red, presumably by dust or red burial robes, In the sarcophagus were 10 jade rings,

to avenge itself! It darted out its sting; body, contracted by my fingers, strained itself with all its strength in an attempt to sting me. But I ignored its pro testatiens, and, stretching my hand out the window, opened the napkin. For a moment the drone seemed stunned, astonished; then it calmly took flight out into the infinite.

CUs little nervous

(By Victor Hugo) The other evening I was a little late in going down to dinner, and this was the reason: I noticed a number of dead bees lying on the floor of the lookout where I am accustomed to work—a sight that I encounter every spring The poor things had come in through the open window. When the windows were clicvd they found themselves prisoners. Unable to see the transparent obstacle, they had hurled themselves against the glass panes on all sides, east, north, south and west, until at last they fell to the floor exhausted, and died. But, yesterday. I noticed among the bees, a great drone, much stronger than the bees, who was far trans being dead, who, in fact, was very mush alive and was dashing himself against the panes with all his Might, like the great beast that he was "Ah! my fine friend," said I, it would have ban an evil day for you had I not come to the rescue. You would have been done for, my fine fellow; before nightfall you would be lying dead, and on coming up-stairs, in the evening with my lamp, I would have found your poor little corpse among those of the other bees." Come, now, like the Emperor Titus I shall mark the day by a good deed: let us save the insect's life. Perhaps the eyes of God a drone is a valuable as a man, and without any doubt it is mere valuable than a prince.

I threw open the window, and, by means of a napkin, began chasing the insect toward it; but the drone persisted in flying in the opposite direction. I then tried to capture it by throwing the napkin over it. When the drone saw that I wished to capture it, it lost its head completely; it bounded furiously against the glass panes, as though it would Smash them, took a fresh start, and dashed itself again and again the glass.

Finally it flew the whole length of the apartment, maddened and desperate.

"Ah, you tyrant!" it buzzed, 'Despot! you would deprive me of liberty! Cruel executioner, why do you not leave ilie alone? I am happy, and why do you persemite me?"

After trying very hard, I brought it down r and, in seizing it with the napkin, I involuntarily hurt it. Oh, hew it tried

Well, you 'see how I : . :1(1 the drone.

I was its Providence. But (and here is the moral of my story) do we not, stupid drones that we are, conduct ourselves in the same manner toward the providence of God? We have our petty and absurd projects, our small and narrow views, our rash designs, whose accomplishment is either impossible or iniarious ipz.,, ourselvee. G i rag no farther than ogr noses and our eyes fixed on our immediate a i J we Plunge ahead in our blind infatuation, she madmen. We would succeed, we would triumeti: flint is to say, we would break our head:; egainst an invisible obstacle.

And when God, who sees all and who wishes to save us, upsets our designs, we stupidly complain against we accuse Hia Providence. We do not comprehend that in punishing us, in overturning' our plans and causing us suffering, He is doing all this to deliver us, to open the Infinite to us. ° More American families than ever before now own automobiles and an increasing lumber own more than one car. by the Crowell-Colcomp lier Publishing Co., ',11'1;er a mid-1950 study shoW 31,725,000 families own approximately 35,670,000 automobiles.

Tricks in Keeping Your' Husbands Like To Fee Diet Important You need this lesson if you wish to keep your friends and your diet. In card playing you use finesse. In dealing with your friends, and your diet, you will ' probably need a whole bag of tricks. After all, when you are invited to a dinner party you cannot come right out and say, "I'm on a diet." Yes, some people do just that, but we're assuming that you want a repeat invitation some day.

You can avoid second helpings easily.

Keep talking and eat slowly. Spring a joke or two; pay rapt attention to what the man on your right is saying; get all wrapped up in appreciation of the host's puns. By the time the second serving comes around, most of yours first still be on your plate. Then you can tackle it with every a ppearance of zest.

You don't have to consume everything on your plate, either. Polish off the salads, leafy vegetables, lean meat. Forego thick gravies and mashed potatoes rich with butter and cream. Mess around with them a little if you wish. Make it appear that you were just about to attack them when the dessert course came.

Leave the thick pat of butter covered with a neat thatch of celery leaves.

Dieting is one game' in which you are not entitled to your just deserts, at least the ones into which he hostess pours love and whipped cream. Fancy footwork is called for here. Sometimes you can eat the cake and leave the sugar icing. If it's ice cream, you can dawdle while it melts.

When you're really cornered, whip out the old recipe dodge. Go into ecstasies over the desert and demand the formula.

Get busy scribbling. The desert will have been carried away while the hostess beamingly warns you not to forget the half teaspun of chopped orange rind.

If you are a gentleman reducer your problem is a little different. Some of the above methods will work for you but you have an added weapon or two in your arsenal. Practically sure fire is the trick of tossing an argument bomb. Just mention taxes or the administration. Nobody will notice whether you are eating anything or not. In fact, others may lose their appetites too.

Simplest protection of all is to skimp on breakfast and lunch so that you can consume a hearty dinner without upsetting your calorie budget. A single big meal a day is not good physiology, but after all an emergency is an emergency.

Highballs, cocktails, wine? Well, no host in history ever succeeded in refilling

This article is not for you, brother.

Just hand it to your sweet wife. You, brother, go and read the funnies. Or, better still, wipe the dishes while your wife reads it.

It really is _not my idea what is to follow. I, myself had read it in the Good Housekeeping magazine. And being approved by the Good Housekeeping, it must be tested and found good and working. The whole thing is only a few simple tips to make your housekeeping easier as far as your husband goes.

Make the first five minutes or the first quarter-hour all poetry. Your husband resents bad news the moment he steps in the house. Home is a wonderful place •to him where everything is running without any trouble by his home partner. His ego had been rubbed the wrong way all day long by an unfriendly world, and he wants to step into a peaceful home atmosphere. If you have any bad news about the children, the neighbors, or the broken washing machine, feed him first. The bad story can wait until after supper.

Every man likes to feel that he's a big shot. He has an innocent desire to make the world believe that trifles don't concern him. A wife is sthart if she lets her husband get away with this, even though she may know better. It's a display of manly power, and something goes out of a man's soul if he gives it up.

Life commands that you be the gracious mistress of the house at night, even though you have probably been elbow deep in soap and children all day. This may be difficult. But remember, your husband will be much more likely to help you wash the dishes if you're wearing an evening gown than if you're in a house dress.

Never pull your husband -down in Some married couples fall into the disastrous habit of needling each other in company about small faults.

There's something seriously wrong if you need the Inotection of a roomful of a full glass. Why, you can nurse a highball all evening and be set down as a gay dog: "You know. I didn't see John go for one minute without a drink in his hand!"

People aren't paying so much attention to your conduct as you think they are. They're concerned about theMselves.

In this business of weight reduction, its you against the world.

Btrana 21 people and a gag to tell your husband I a home truth. Intimate revelations in public may mean that you two haven't been close enough in private.

Save the lad his dignity. His mail left unopened says subtly that -here is a man who hasn't given up the protection of the first ten amendments to the Constitution by getting married.

Don't ever send your husband to the grocer's with instructions to order only the specials that were advertised in the paper. And he will shrink inside and wish to go through the floor if you hand the druggist a $10 bill for a postage stamp. Men hate to take small advantages.

If you have the feeling that your marriage would be perfect except for one fault in your husband, then there are two faults in your marriage. he second one is thatitou expect perfection. What credit would it be to you to love your husband if he were a. perfect man?

What makes you the fine huinan being you are is that you loVe the character you're married to just the way he is. The demand for perfection may kick back on you. It makes you try to be 'perfeet and creates tenseness and anxiety.

Sometimes the finest thing that can happen to a marriage is for a careful housekeeper to break a cherished- dish and have her husband grinningly forgive her. Takes the strain right cut, ) • 4•( CALL A PLUMBER City Boy: "Say dad, how many' kinds of milk are there?"
