Toto bylo oznameno ye Vestniku ze dne ttetiho fmora. Byl jsem od to doby v nekolika shromadenich nae'ich elenfi a zavedl jsem s nekterS7mi rozmluvu o tornto bodu. Bylo odividne, ze yeteina z nich to oznameni eetla, a mall. svoje opsouzeni dela veci, ale ne pro vekejnost. Dekuji bratru Gajevskemu, ze se odvaal vysloviti svoje mineral vetejne a tim mne dodal odvahy napsati, co si o torn mislim, a to hned od to doby, kdy jsem se dozvedel, ze platime za yyudova.ni rtfetiny, a eekina je skoro v podruZI. Kdy'A za odpoledniho zasedani posledniho sjezdu, ve Ctvrtek dne 26. eervna 1952 dal bratr Olexa p nvrh, aby shromaAOral vy,slechli tee doktora Mareshe, nayrh byl ptijat. "Doktor Maresh vyz,Vval ku podpofe vyueovani aeskeho jazyka na A&M koleji" — jak pravi protokol tohoto sjezdu. 0 vyueovani ruske feel nebylo a.7 ni slova zminky. Jen po keel doktora Mareshe byl sjezdu piedstaven Dr. Jan Sktivanek jako ueitel slo yanskYch ja,zykt na universite, myslim Houston. To jest yk, co jsme slyseli o jine keei nezli 'desk& Z celeho jednani bylo zfejme, ze tato zaleZitost byla dobie ku piedu vyplanovana, a adkoliv bylo sjezdu oznameno, ze to bude stati Jednotu etyti tisice pet set do peti tisic dolarfi rodne po dva roky, el° to jako namazane, a to proto, ze bylo no, ze po dvou rokach plat profcsora bude zahrnut v rozpoetu ekolniho Yydani na A&M Koleji; ted' ze je jiz pozde, aby se ten plat profesora eeetiny mohl zapoeitati do statniho rozpoetu na Skolni vydani.

Podival jsem se pii torn na nakho doktora Mieka, kterST sedel nedaleko mne, a povidam si: "Mieku, piisel, jsi do Texasu o tficet rokft moc brzy"; — a pii torn tahly mne vzpominky na zapas, jakjr bratr Mieek musel podstoupiti, aby se vyueoyani Ceske feel na na,§i Statni uniyersite uditelo. Vzpomenul jsem si na to debatu, jakou jsme men ye schtizi nakho tadu, kdy jsme byli Hlavni fitadovnou poladani, aby kaZdSt elan ptispival deseti centy mesiene na ud0;eni bratra Mieka a vyueovani Ceske teei na, Texaske Statni .Universite, Ale pies velkou debatu to proelo u nas, a ptispivali jsme radi.

Jsem jist, ae kdyby se bylo tin mesice pied minulYm sjezdem ohlasilo, ae redaktor Vestniku bude rr4ti etyki sta pet -a-sedmdesat dolarii platu, bylo by se do toho ter resla hlasilo dosti zajemcil, —a mezi n' ni i nektery mlady profesor neb yYpomocnY profesor.

A kdya jsme jia pti to schtizi Tiskoveho vYboru, snad to nebude povaaovano za nemistne, optati se ptedsedy tohoto YYboru, dle ktereho elanku na gich stanov si vzal pravo volati do schilze tohoto vYboru nahradniky tiskoveho vYboru, kdya v gichni tti pravidelni Menlo tohoto vYboru se do schtize dostavili???

A at' je to mistne nebo neni, dovolim si poznamenati, to toto uvetejneni by melo bYti provazeno dnkladnou reklamou, ae nage Jednota dava dividendy ptedem a dati k tomu doklady. Existuje jicla dosti a nemusi se nikdo pti torn jmenovati. To davani dividend oznamovane jinYmi pojigt'ovnami jest ta nejtua gi soutea jakou jest nag im jednateltm ptekonavati.

Have you noticed what had happened when two of our districts challenged each other? In a friendly rivalry, the two districts accomplished more than the remaining five districts.

We MAY NOT BE THE TYPE OF PIoneers who conquer wilderness. But we have plenty of virgin soil around us, and plenty of stubborn stumps to clear away, figuratively speaking. Every meeting — be it the lodge meeting or the district meeting — is a challenge which requires pioneers, thinkers, leaders. Most of the men and women who come to these meetings are willing workers. They may not consider themselves as pioneers, but they still have plenty of determination to do the pioneering work in their own unassuming way.

SERVICE OF HUMANITY Alfred B. Nobel, inventor of dynamite, left $9,000,000, the interest of which is distributed yearly to those who had most contributed to the benefit of mankind during the preceding year.

Albert Schweitzer was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.

Who was Albert Schweitzer? What did he do to promote peace among mankind?

Like the kindly country doctor he is at heart Albert Schweitzer has been prescribing benign, common-sense medicine for the spiritual ills of the harassed world.

The most distinguished of living philosophers, he has diagnosed the world's ailment as this: men, animals, plants, everything in the universe, are engaged in a deadly struggle for existence always competing with and destroying each other..

"The world is a ghastly dream of willto-live, divided against itself," he has put it.

And as medicine, this tall, stooped man, with his shaggy white hair and mustache, who actually looks like ,,a country doctor, has advocated "reverance for 'life."

Each man should recognize, Schweitzer feels, that he has a "responsibility without limit for all . that lives" and that he must do everything in his power to help his fellow-creatures live.

"It is good to maintain and encourage life; it is bad to destroy or obstruct it," he says.

"To everyone, in whatever state of life he finds himself, the ethics of reverence for life does this," he declares. "They force him without cessation to be concerned with all the human destinies which are going through their life course around him, and to give himself, as man, to the man who needs a fellow-man. They will not allow the scholar to live only for his learning, nor the artist ony for his art, even if by means of it he gives something to many. They do not allow the very busy man to think that with his professional activities he has fulfilled every demand upon him.

"They demand from all that they devote a portion of this life to their fellows."

It cannot be said that this message has been widely accepted by those most in need of it — the spewers of hate and intolerance, the makers of war and disaster. It can be said that it has had a genuine effect upon philosophers, theologians as well as educators in all parts of the world and that through them it may still help to Jul-

fill the selfless hopes of its author for "the coming of the Era of Peace.'

"The man of the century," the artists, writers and musicians of the 17 countries voted Schweitzer in 1950, in a poll conducted by the National Arts Foundation.

"If his ideas were adopted, they would solve the world's problems," it was declared.

As a youngster, Schwietzer was imbued with a deep -seated love for all living things. He wouldn't wear the new shoes his family gave him because the poor children in his native village of Gunsbach, in tipper Alsace, didn't have any. He wouldn't go fishing. "The treatment of the worms—and the wrench of the mouth of the fish" pained him.

"Oh, heavenly Father," he prayed each night, "bless all things that have breath."

The son of an Evangelical minister, his first great interest was theology. By the time he was eight—in 1883—he already was thoroughly conversant with, and critical of, the Bible. He couldn't understand, for instance, why Jesus' family was still recorded as poor after it had received so many costly "gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh" from the Magi. It was incomprehensible to him "that the Wise Men should never have troubled themselves again about the Child Jesus."

He kept pondering such questions throughout his youth, throughout his years at the University of Strasbourg where he concentrated on philosophy and theology, and throughout his early years as a minister in Strasbourg. In 1906, they gave rise to the Quest of the Historical Jesus.

In this book, which brought him international fame, he took issue with what he considered were the general misconceptions about Jesus.• Jesus was of divine origin and nature, but the world had neither understood his history nor his teachings," he held.

"The true understanding of Jesus, he wrote, "is the understanding of will acting on will . . . To those who obey Him, be they wise or simple, He will reveal Himself in the toils, the conflicts,, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience who He is."

Meanwhile, Schwietzer had also been manifesting extraordinary talent in the musical field. He had become renowned as the best organist in Europe and also as the author of a masterly biography of Bach.

Despite all this, he came to a momentous decision. It was that "I would (only) consider myself justified in living until I was 30 for science and art in order to devote myself from that time forward to the direct service of humanity."

At 30, he had resolved, he would begin the study of medicine and, as soon as he was qualified, go to Africa as a doctor. He'd picked Africa because the need was the greatest there.

Objections—there were many— could not stop Schweitzer from giving up both his clerical and musical careers. He spent the next seven years getting his M. D. at the University of Strasbourg and in 1913, newly married to nurse Helene Bresslau, he set out for the tiny missionary settlement of Lambarene in French Equatorial Africa. Here he helped build his own hospital, with a chicken coop as his first operating room, and here in the sweltering disease - riden jungles he has remained, dispensing gentle but expert medical care to thousands of sick natives each year.

Between treatments, he has continued his thinking and his writing, producing a wide variety of important philosophical and theological works. The most significant of them has been The Philosophy of Civilization, a many volumed work setting forth his "reverance for life" thesis.

At the core of Schweitzer's philosophy is this: Modern man must liberate himself from the overpowering domination of mass institutions and mass ideas.

He must learn to think for himself and to judge for himself what is good and what is evil. And, on his beliefs and behavior, he must always bear in mind the will-to-life for his fellow-man. Otherwise, Western civilization is doomed.

"The final decision as to what the future of society shall be," he has wisely said, "depends not on how near its organization is to perfection, but on the degree of worthiness in its individual members." )• A panic-impelled rabbit was leaping through the woods near Washington, D. C., when a fox stopped him. "Why are you running?" asked Brother Reynard.

"Senator McCarthy is after me!" panted agitated Peter.

"Nonsense," opined Reynard, "he's just after kangaroos, and you're no kangaroo."

"I know it," whimpered the terrified rabbi;, "but I can't prove it."

Winner of the Th.i7 Prize

AMERICANS NOT MORE NEUROTIC THAN OTHERS

Aimiimaisiesimmonnammitentosmatistiesnetal LUCILLE HANUS The judges of the Essay Contest conducted by District Three awarded the third prize to this charming young miss, a member of Slovanska Lipa Lodge No. 66, of Waco, Lucille Harms, now living in San Antonio. Lucille's father, who is a manager of one of the Sears, Roebuck Company's stores in San Antonio, was successful in reviving the Lodge No. 66 in Waco to the extent that the Waco SPJST members bought a 5-acre tract and are planning to build a hall on the property.

We sincerely congratulate Miss Lucille to the award. Her essay is as follows: WHY I LIKE THE SPJST I like the organization first because it has given me opportunities to attend local lodge meetings which are always interesting and instructive. It is fostering protection, social life, promoting better understanding of the American way of life, promoting education and encouraging good citizenship.

The SPJST is a fraternal life insurance society founded, on Jul' 1, 1887, in the District Court Room, Fayette County.

Court House in La Grange, Texas. It was formed in Czech language because , the majority of the pioneers could not speak English. Their background was their experience from Europe, their native land being Czechoslovakia. This was to help them understand the American way of life better. They were

Americans are no worse off mentally than the citizens of any other country, a Yale University psychiatrist has declared.

As a matter of fact, American preoccupation with emotional troubles— as evidenced by the prominence given mental problems in magazines and newspapers and on radio and television programs—may even have its good side.

It probably is a sign, the Yale authority asserted, of America's high standard of living, and of freedom from the fear of physiea.l diseases.

"Now that people are reasonably secure against the ravages of epidemic diseases," says Dr. Jules V. Coleman, associate professor of psychiatry at Yale, "they are much more interested in what goes on inside themselves, and in their relation to- other people."

LETTERS SPJST LODGE NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members: At our last meeting, we completed plans for one of our important projects.

We have decided to start a softball team and enter it in a locally sponsored league. If any of the readers, who are members of the lodge, are interested contact either Ben Jarma or Ben David.

These two members are in full charge of the team.

February certainly was cupid's month this year as was proven by the sound of wedding bells. First was the celebration of the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Brother and Sister Adolph Jez, on cupid's day, February 14. Both have served as secretaries of the lodge in past years. A reception at the lodge, attended by many friends and relatives, was given in their honor by their children.

February 20 was the date of the marriage of Brother Robers Duron Jr. to Miss Olga Chudej, of Temple, Texas, and Brother Raymond Prasifka to Miss Mildred Makofsky, of New Orleans, La. Then on February 24, Brother Richard Pokladnik was married to Miss Pavia Vales. To each of these couples the lodge extends best wishes for a happy and prosperous merried life.

On Monday, March 15, at 7:30 p. m., the Fraternal Congress will hold its annual meeting at Lodge Pokrok No. 84. Afterwards, there will be a short program. Anyone who wishes may, attend as they will be welcome.

Our regular monthly meeting will be held Sunday, March 21, at 4 p. in. Right after the meeting a snack will be served followed with bingo. I would like to ask that some of the sisters of our lodge bring some of that good pastry. Sandwiches and coffee will be furnished, and, of course, everyone is invited to attend the meeting as Well as join in the fun afterwards.

I Two of our members are on the sick list. Helen Pokladnik was recently re leased from the hospital and Jerry Slovacek Jr. is still confined to the hospital.

We wish them both a speedy recovery.

Guess this winds up the news for now, so, until next month, I'll say bye— — Fraternally, Frances Baleja. )• •( DALLAS FRATERNAL COUNCIL Dear Readers: II has been some time since I have written a line to the Vestnik so here goes with a few.

Social Security benefits may, seem like no great shakes to most executives. But there's more than one way of looking at them: To assure yourself and your wife the same retirement income that you could get under social security, you'd have to lay out about $25,000, if you were to buy a joint life and survivorship annuity at age 65. To pay a wife and two dependent children what social security could pay them for 15 years, if you die before retirement, you'd need about $25,000 in life insurance. To match every $1,000 of social security income, which is non-taxable, you'd have to get about $1,430.00 of taxable income, assuming that it fell in the 30 per cent bracket.

Social Security is actually two things: a retirement benefit, when you reach 65 and quit your job: an insurance benefit, payable to your survivors if you die. ) • 4. • ( IN THE TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT After a junior high school 'class toured the White House, a teacher asked each student to write impressions of the visit.

ONE LIVING PIONEER On May 30, 1897, he married Miss Franees Bubela, of Ellinger, daughter of pioneer Czech settlers here since about 1873. The • wedding was performed

by Justice of the Peace, Conrad Bertsch, at Courthouse, at Fayetteville, Texas. The following year he started farming for himself — first as a "renter". And it was again at Mr. Chupik's he was in rent for the first six years, on his farm.

After twelve years the couple was able, with some borrowed money, to buy a smaller farm. Staying on that place For two years, they sold it and bought anothe • farm about two miles north-west of Ellinger, and on this farm — since 1912 — he stayed until this day "and wants . to stay for the rest of his life."

The farm, taken over by his sons some years ago when for advancing age and prolonged illness climaxed with a very serious operation he wasn't able to work it himself anymore, is now operated by son. Charles J. Divin.

He was always a hard worker, from young years into high age; a farmer fond of his occupation, and he loved the hard work that was with it — and loved the soil he worked. And was always willing to help his neighbors, relatives, friends.

Once, when a young man, while enjoying a swim in the Colbrado River with party of other young men being a good swimmer, he saved one of the members of the party from drowning. He was Brother J. H. Novosad, also a charter member of Lodge Verno.st, No. 51, SPJST, and its Treasurer for number of years — until his moving from Ellinger to East Bernard from there in later years to Smithville, Texas, -- and where he is still living.

Here I may "squeeze in," what had happened to him at another time on the Colorado River. It was something unusual, little bit hair-raising, what happened to him and to three of his friends, when they were bathing together in her waters then. All swimmed to the other side of the river then, and stayed there in the water for quite a while. It was hot Sunday afternoon and there, at the other side, they were in the shade. But when wanted to swim back again, they saw that a good-sized alligator was laying on this side of the riverbank, right close at their clothes.

So what? With feeling like some small ants crawling over their bodies, they immediately got out of the water on the other bank, walked piece down t h e stream, where they, as good swimmers as they were — after first carefully "lOoking up and down the water" — crossed back the river maybe before one

Brother John Divin Sr., is now nearing 81 (May 9, '54) and his wife, Frances, is 79. Both are in pretty fair health. Although "retired" and of high age, he still likes to work as much as able; in fact, he said, "he wouldn't feel good if wouldn't work." She was his faithful companion and an efficient helper in all they were achieving on the farm, in the years gone by. She is also a member of Lodge Vernost, No. 51, SPJST, joining shortly after the Lodge was founded in 1904. They have three sons, Emil, Charles and John Jr., all married, all residing and farming in the Ellinger area. There were no daughters. • Two of their sons and their wives and several of the eleven grandchildren are members of Lodge Vernost, too. There are several great-grandchildren, if any of these are already in the SPJST, information is lacking. When asked, "Greatgrandpa," Brother Divin, wasn't quite sure. "If they are not, I hope they will be sooner or later," he said. It may be mentioned here, that in the line of their eleven grandchildren, there is only one granddaughter.

When the couple had its Golden Wedding Anniversary seven years ago, on May 30, 1947, naturally that their children and grandchildren wouldn't "let the day go by as any other day," and surprised them with a heart-warming party, at their home; also close neighbors participated with them in honoring the celebrants, and in helping them making the affair an enjoyable and a memorable one.

Five of their grandsons served in World. War II, four in the Army, one in the. Navy; the other five didn't because they hadn't then been old enough. However, two of them served in the Army after the war as volunteers, and two are in the service at present when this is being written. And indications are that also the youngest one of them may be in the service before this gets into

NT ES TNIK WEST, TEXAS

HOW TO TELL A WOMAN'S AGE Science, moving ever forward and letting the chips fall where they may, says it is possible to tell a woman's approximate age by close observation of certatin key signs.

I am prepared to divulge this information, fully aware that it is an - undertaking potentially more explosive than trucking nitroglycerine in a brakeless hot rod. But progress is progress.

The inside dope comes from interviews with geriatricians — medical specialists who know what happens to us as we get older — anatomists, dentists and beauty experts. Most of the informants requested anonymity, taking the understandable attitude that the subject required singular courage.

But they did state that, while beauty treatments, cosmetics a n d proper clothing, seen and unseen, work a kind of magic, there are a number of maturing signs that cannot be hidden. They are apparent to the trained observer in eyes chin, neck, hands, teeth -- even elbows and fingernails.

So let's get specific. There may be; as Shakespeare p aid, seven ages of man, but there are only fotir ages of woman --under 20, Under 30, under 40, and 40 plus. To determine about where a particular female stands currently in each group, it is necessary to study her at close range in a good light. This is no problem. Cocktail tete-a-tetes on a terrace or by a window, resting in a rock after ice skating, or beach lounging are just a few possibilities.

Once the subject is in observational position, select the age group into• which you thinks she fits and apply these tests: Look into her eyes -- any pretext will do. Do you notice very faint lines fqnning from the outer corners? In men these are called crow's-feet; • in women, kindly refer to them as laughing lines.

It may surprise you to learn that the first barely perceptible lines appear as early as age 20. So if she hasn't got them, chances are she's still a teener playing grownup.

If her skin is extremely .smooth, with no' pores visible, she ought to be home 'doing her plane geometry. At 17, the pores can just be detected; by 20, they are more marked.

Notice her teeth as she smiles. In front are the incisors. four on top, four on bottom. When these teeth first emerge at about seven, they have prominent saw-like ridges on the biting surfaces which get worn smooth by chewing as the years go on. By the time a girl is 16 or 17, the edges are generally all

(By Lester David) flattened out. So if her front teeth still have ridges, she's a very young chick.

Watch her elbows when she raises her I glass to sip a drink. Are they smooth?

Then she's 20-ish. A bit dry and wrinkled? She's pushing, or has already pushed, 30.

Eyes are important here. A girl of 20 has firm and smooth lids, but the uppers and lowers have drooped and developed finely etched lines by the next decade. At 20, the lashes are soft, silky and full. By 30, they ha v e become coarser, drier: less full and lighter in color at the ends. Caution here: if she wears carefully put on mascara, she can louse you up completely on the test.

Horizontal folds on her forehead just above the eyebrows, as well as vertical lines right above the nose, begin to appear by the third decade.

There is• an interesting sight test for this category which can be conducted with no trouble during the summer, or bathing-suits-and-shorts season. At other times it is done at your own risk. It's got to do with legs.

At 30, the muscles of the calves are still smooth and firm but by 40, they have become relaxed and soft. Same goes for the upper arms and thighs.

But careful now — a woman who exercises a great deal can keep these muscles looking ten years younger.

Heweve •, nothing much can be done to hide the network of tiny veins that become perceptible on the leg surfaces, nor the prominent veins on the backs of the hands. These are fourth-decade giveaways. So, too, are the two diagonal folds which extend from the base of the nose to the angles of the mouth.

These get quite deep as she reaches her 40th milestone.

This is really tough. one expert declared: "With all the beauty aids available, all women , should look 40 years old for at least 10 years, and many do." But there are some telltale pieces of evidence.

One of the most unusual is now being studied by Dr. Martin Gumpert, a wellknown geriatrician. He discovered that vertical ridges begin to appear on the fingernails at about 40. These get deeper as the decade advances; by 50 they are pronounced indentations. Certain illnesses and strong , emotional shocks, Dr. Gumpert points out, can produce horizontal ridges at any age, but not longtitudinal ones.

is a fatty protruberance at the base of the neck which appears after a half century of poor posture. By 50, the on the back of the hands loses elastieity.

If it's pinched, the fold will stay upright fer an instant and then settle back sloWly, instead of descending rapidly as in a younger woman. And also at 40 plus, there is a marked laxity of the skin of the neck in two areas: from the chin to the top of the collar bone and from the ears to the same place.

The'Se, then, are four ages of Woman and the investigation has to stop there mainly because, as everybody knows, no woman gets older than 49.

There is, .however, one more important point. It can't be overlooked. The author feels that he should make one more amendment, a piece of information for the ladies: All of the tests given above apply with absolutely equal force to MEN! —Reprinted .from This Week ) • 4 • ( THE DANGEROUS AGE Two little boys were playing together one clay when one said to the other, "I'm five.

The only thing to do was to turn around, and on passing the road block again they observed this inscription on the reverse side of the sign: "It really was closed, wasn't it?"

A series of experiments conducted Insist on a restful atmosphere at jointly by American industries and sev- meals. Keep the dining area as far

from kitchen sounds as you can, and keep a firm hand on the radio and TV sets as well. Music, if softly played, may be restful, but the radio soap opera and commercial is a definite deterrent to healthful eating. Keep in mind that home ties are strengthened immeasurably by quiet, peaceful meals.

Sometimes it is the slamming of a door or the slapping of a screen door each time it is closed that keeps you on edge all day. You may notice each time that your muscles tense to the impact. Why not try installing a mechanical door check? It will pay for itself ten times over in calmer nerves and reduced muscular tension.

Of course, there is usually no easy cure for the outside noises. There's not much we can do about traffic and factory noises, or even about a neighbor's barking dog if he wants to let him bark.

However, there are individual remedies.

Ear stoppers are one. The stoppers recommended by doctors are usually made of cotton impregnated with wax, which can be molded to the ear. One new type, called a "sonic filter," is said to soften loud noises yet permit the wearer to hear sounds of ordinary voice level. It has a soft silicon rubber tip that resists skin oils and ear wax. Millions of ear stoppers are sold each year. Some industrial plants, such as those run by General Electric, buy them in batches of thousands for use by their employees.

Whatever you do, though, don't make the mistake of just trying to ignore noises that irritate you. There are better ways of testing your will-power and self-control. And such a course is not only likely to be futile but dangerous as well. * "The normal person," says • Dr. Parran, "can never adapt himself physically, mentally or emotionally to heavy noise."

So while we cannot change our nature, nor the kind of world we live in, still we can make changes in the noise climate immediately around us. And anything we do to cut down noise and confusion in our offices and homes is a step in that direction. It is also a step toward better nerves, a clearer head, more energy and less fatigue, and a more peaceful, happier state of mind for ourselves and the entire family.

HOPPING WITH YOUR HUSBAND No matter who wear8 the pants in your family, the odds are good that you help buy them.

Recently the Department of Agriculture came up with figures that 38 out of every 100 men take their wives or sweethearts along when they go shopping for clothes. Another 10 per cent of the men march in to the clothing store alone — but they have pretty firm directions about what they should bring home. As for the supposedly independent half, I'm quite sure women are keeping a watchful eye on most of thein.

We're all in favor of this feminine assistance. Leave a man on his own and he worries about two things — does the snit fit and can he afford it. But a woman, experienced' in the subtleties of fashion, knows that for a garment to be • right it has to do more than just fit. When a woman watches a man trti on a new suit she checks if the model does the most to enhance his build, ii the color suits his complexion, if the styling compliments his personality.

All this is for the best except for two things. A woman may have her eye on the most suitable garment, but sometimes she doesn't use the right tech-. niques to convince the man he should buy it. And, often she doesn't understand what constitutes correct fit for a man.

To help a man shop, you must first understand masculine psychology. For a woman, a shopping trip is usually an exciting experience. For a man, shopping is often a necessity.

Knowing about fashions has always been second nature for a woman. And, -surprisingly, male attention to fashion is catching up. According to a survey made by the men's clothing industry, 71 per cent of men expect their suits to make them look stylish and well groomed.

Despite this, when men walk into clothing stores, they're embarrassed to come right out and ask the salesman for colors and styles that will flatter them.

That's where you come' in. You have to see to it that your man picks clothes that make him intik his best — without letting him know you're doing it.

When you step into the clothing store, the first thing you should do is — nothing. Let the salesman show you a chair, look interested, and wait. Remember that the salesman is on your side. He wants the suit to look, right and he wants you to approve.

When you're shopping with a man, .make the mistake of criticizing the fit it's your job to help him understand of a man s suit by comparing it to their

Wednesday, March 10, 1954 own form-fitting clothes. When you're ready for the final decision, make sure the whole suit is tried on, including the trousers. The coat should be buttoned.

Now check the following: The coat should fall in straight unwrinkled lines in front and in back.

It shouldn't be so tight that it falls in at the small of the back, or drape so loosely that there are folds in the front.

A properly fitting coat lets a man move about without straining it, doesn't pull at the button holes, and is long enough to cover the seat of the trousers.

The collar should set smoothly and closely to the back and sides of the neck, with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of shirt collar showing. There should be a smooth, unbroken line from collar to shoulders. Shoulders shouldn't look built-up and artificial.

Sleeves shouldn't touch the palm. They can cover the shirt sleeve or leave to 112 inch of shirt cuff showing. Don't put a crease in the sleeves. They'll wear better.

Trousers should be slightly full at the seat, neither form-fitting nor baggy.

The crotch should be loose enough for free movement, but free of wrinkles.

A man can check the fit by bending and making sure he has enough room to move easily.

The trousers should hang smoothly, with the creases falling straight up and down. Trouser legs are the right length if they fall straight in the back, and, in front, break slightly at the instep or just touch the shoe tops.

Remember, too, that most stores stock a garment in several models — long, short, regular stout etc. Make sure your man gets the model that fits his build.

A man may never quite admit it but he feels good when he knows he looks well dressed. It's your job to use all your feminine tact, knowledge and patience to make sure he'll look and feel his best when he puts on his new suit and walks down the street with you on his arm.

MY BIRTHDAY GIFT It was a blistering August day. The men from the fencing company were putting up a fence around our property. I called my small son Danny in for his nap, and carried out a tray of drinks for the men.

I went first to Jim, the man whose task it was to dig the post-holes in our sun-baked adobe soil. I hesitated a few feet from him. He was standing, bent over the post-hole digger, and I could swear I heard him crying! True, his job was enough to make a strong man weep, but it would be embarrassing for us both if he knew I had seen him, I started to turn away when he raised his head, and I saw he was, of all things, laughing! My amazement must have shown on m_ y face for he said, reassuringly, "No, Ma'am, the heat hasn't got me. It's that boy of yours."

I started to say that I would keep Donny out of the way if he was being a nuisance, but he went on to explain.

"I'm digging away, getting nowhere in this damned — excuse me, this adobe.

Well, every time I look up, he's standing there, just staring at me, Ins eyes all shiny line

(By Betty Hendrix) something.I finally take time out for a smoke, and he come up and, real careful,runs his finger along one of the handles of the post-hole digger. Then he says, "Gosh, Mister, I bet you have a lot of fun playing with this! Did you get it for your birthday?"

Later in the afternoon, I heard the men loading their tools on the truck.

Jim was whistling as I came out of the house.

I called to him, "You sound pretty cheerful for a man who has been slaving over a hot post-hole digger."

With a kind of surprise he answered, "You know, that's a funny thing. I'm not tired. I got to looking at that digger the way the kid saw it and, you know, it's (mite an invention." He grinned a little sheepishly and added, "I could see what the boy meant, it was almost like fun!"

At that, the others roared with laughter. One of them led Jim to the truck, and with mock solicitude, said, "Now you just get in there and try to keep calm!" Then to me, "When digging postholes in the hot sun gets to be fun, it's

time to send for the men in the white coats!"

Donny is big boy now, and the dividing line between work and play is pretty well defined; but through the years, "I got it for my birthday!" has remained a watchword in our family, recalled whenever we are faced with some particularly unpleasant task. A magic phrase that makes even the simplest tools take on a new wonder, and things as vacuum cleaners and washing machines become newly discovered min,. acles.

Pan Madeleine pfisvedeil a Javert zmizel za dvami.

Madeleine se potom hluboce zamyslil.

XII. Ptipravy k odjezdu.

Odpoledne, po navfteve Javertove, 4e1 pan Madeleine jako obyeejne riav§tiviti Fantinu. Ale k ni veAel, dal si zavalati sestru Simplicii. V tovarni nemocnici pana Madeleina 4D • eti-ovaly . nemocne dye milosrdne sestry, Perpetua a Simplicie.

Sestra Perpetua byla obyeejnd selska divka.

Nebylo lze uhod-nouti jejiho stati, nebylat' nikdy a zdalo se, 2e nikdy nesestarne. Byla ne2na, vazna, vzclelana, zptisobil dobre spoleenosti, v celem svem Mvote nelhala.

Byla v cele •eholi znama, 2"e neposkvrnila sve rty ani nejmenM 1M. ZboLla sestra si velmi oblibila Fantinu a proto ji temet vYhradne oktkovala.

Pan Madeleine odvedl sestru Simplicii stranou a porueil ji Fantinu se z ylagtnim durazem, ktery si sestra pozdeji east° pkipomnela.

Potfrom set k Fantine. Uboha to zena oeekavala kaldodenne pfichod pana Ma-. deleina, jako oeekavame zaki sluneeni.

Potom se pan Madeleine vratil dorm% a atedni sluha videl, jak peelive si prohlitel cestovni mapu Fronde, visici na sten& Na to napsal tutlou nekolik eislic na papir.

Route v mysli.

6tenat jit bezpochyby uhodl, ze pan Madeleine byl Jean Vaijean.

Od ptihody s malym Gervaisem stal se Upine jinkm elovekem. To, deho biskup na nem 2adal, stalo se skutkem. Nebyla to ptetvatka, byla to Upina zmena.

Podatilo se mu zahladiti Upine stopu po sobe, prodal sttibro biskupem mu darovane, ponechal si jen svicny na pamatku ,proSel celou Francii a pt gel aZ do Montreuillu u mote. Tam pomoci At'astneho vynalezu dobyl sobe jmeni a 2i1 klidne, hlede sve davne viny napraviti.

Mel jedine dye veci na mysli: aby utajil sve jmeno a zbognk kvot vedl. Byloli vSak nutno, obetoval svaj klid pro dobrk skutek nebo spineni povinnosti. Ponechal sobe stkilarne svicny biskupovy, nosil za nej smutek, vyptaval se vSech malkch Savojanti, kteti ptiki do mesta, pa.tral po sve rodine ye Faverolles, zachranil tivot staremu Faucheeleventovi, aokoliv se tim mohl pied Javertem prozraditi. V okamkku, kdy slySel z jeho fist sve jmeno, o nernt se mu zdalo, 2e je hluboce pochoval, byl celk ohromen, chvilemi pak pocit'oval vnitini chveni. Citil, to se boute nad jeho hlavou stahuje.

V prvem okam2iku chtel prchnouti, vyznati pravdu, osvoboditi onoho Champmathieua, srdce se mu pki torn bolestne sviralo. Potom sebral sve mykenky, zadal ptemkketi, couvl pied chvilkovkm hrdinstvim. Celk den stresil v hroznem rozeileni, uvnitt byla bouie, zevne hlubokk klid. Nemohl se jeke k nieemu odhodlati, ale, vSecko ji2 ptipravoval.

Veder ye svem pokoji snakl se v gemotne • prozkoumati sve postaveni. Uzamknul dveie na klid a zhasl svetlo. Zdalo se mu, 2e se pied nedim ukryje. Ale to, pied dim prchal, jiZ veSlo a stalo pied nim: Jeho svedomi.

Vzpamatoval se, optel lokte o still a potme zadal pkemkketi.

"Kde jsem? Snad je to jen sen. Ci je pravda, 2e jsem videi Javerta, a 2e mi to iekl? Kdo asi je onen Champmathieu?

Je vilbec mo2no, aby mi byl tak podoben?

Jeke lidera jsem byl tak kliden a sebe jist. Co poditi? Jak to vSe skonel?"

Jeho mozek ztratil mot udr2eti mykenky na uzde a ony mijely jako viny. Seviel skrane oberna rukama, aby mySlenky zastavil. Z teto matenice vychazela jedine smrtelna Uzkost. V hlave jej PopoSel k oknu a otevtel je dokokan. Nebe bylo tmave, ani jedna hvezdidka na nem nezatila. Vratil se a zase si sedl.

Tak uplynula hodina.

Pomalu zadalo se v mysli jeho jasniti, mohl jiz docela ureite rozeznati nejen zmatenk celek, nklar2 take jednotlive podrobnosti sveho postaveni. Pochopil, 2e vzdor cele neobvyklosti a povakivosti je

Ba nyni, kdyby byl chtel, byl i v upinem bezpeei. Ptizrak Jeana Valjeana site se vynotil, ale nehrozil mu vabec naopak, twine jej chranil. Co mohl onen ubohk tulak miti spoledneho s nim, vSeobecne va2enkm a vgemi milovankm panem ptedstavenkm? V torn se mu zdalo, 2e se probouzi a stoji nad propasti. Spattil ye tmach jakehosi neznameho, jeho osud vrha do propasti misto neho. Propast mu-. sela nekoho pohltiti, bud' jeho, nebo ono ho cizince. Ponecha to osudu. Prozatim mel zastupce v osobe Champmathieuove v bagnu. Ve spolednosti, pod jmenem pana Madeleina, se ji2 nema dello obavati.

Onen Champmathieu ponese za nej hanbu, kterou ji2 nikdy nelze smkti, jako nelze vzktisiti nebokika pod nahrobnim kamenem odpodivajiciho.

RozZehl prudce svici.

"Ceho vlastne se bojim? 0 dem ptemkkim? Jsem zachranen, vSe je skondeno.

Onen Javert, kterk mne znepokojoval, ten hroznk pud, jen mne poznaval a vSude stihal jako loveckk pes, je nyni upokojen. Nyni je spokojen, dr2i sveho Valjeana a mne da pokoj. A vAe to stalo se bez meho pkidineni, ani prstem k vuli tomu jsem nehnul.
