Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: How can one
overcome bashfulness? | am terribly
afflicted with it. H. S.
Bashfulness is the result of self
consciousness When you are able to
forget yourself in your interest for
other people you will no longer suffer.
Do not stay at home because of your
failing Go places and keep your mind
active observing others. BY observa-
ton you will be able to follow what
other people are doing and after
while you will feel perfectly at ease
in the society of others.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | have been
married IA years We have two girls,
one nine years old and one II. They
are bright little girls and the idol of
nv heart
There has been a strange GOODNESS
creeping into my life for the past two
wears between my wife and me. She
is very thoughtless and Indifferent
about the happiness of the home. She
is cross with me and cold and never
affectionate in any way. She also
likes to tell me that she does not love
me.
She has never been contented and
has always complained about being
sick but she can go out to show or
dance and have lovely time. But the
minute she gets home she starts to
complain.
She was cautioned by me not to be
indiscrete in various ways and she
grew angry and said | accused her of
immoral conduct, which | never did.
iS
simply live in hell to have my little
separation in this case, or do you
think my love for her may win her
over for do love her.
PERPLEXED.
In your case | would not advise sep
aration You are paying dearly for
lack of wisdom in your choice of a
wife, but after all the woman is the
mother of your children and you should
sacrifice yourself to help make the
home fit place for the children.
Indifference on your part might do
a great deal to change your wife's
attitude toward you. She is too sure
OF your love would advise you TO
stay away from home more. Explana-
tons viii not be necessary. Tell your
wife the truth about where you go,
but do not go into particulars. 1t Will
do her good to be curious about you.
As the years pass, your wife will
probably soften and become less IT.
ritable. She will also outgrow her
desire for dances and other youthful
pleasures L believe that if you face
your trouble and do your best, happi
ness and contentment will come.

Special Despatch 90 THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau. /
Washington, ID. g.. Jan. y.
A growing opposition to the increase
OF the House from 435 to 4S3 members
on March 4. 1923. was apparent to-day
when six out of fourteen members of
the House Census Committee filed a
minority report against the measure au-
thorizing the additional members.
The House is already too cumber-
some. the minority claimed, in addi-
ton to pointing out that the increase
would make necessary the expenditure
of $5,000,000 for a new office building
and more than s1.O00,000 to pay sal
aries and Office expenses. Such an ex-
pense should not be added to present
tax burdens. it was asserted
The figure of '4S3 was agreed upon
so that no State would have its present
representation reduced. Those signing
the minority report were Fairfield
sIowa), Glynn, Comm and Barbour
(Cal). Republicans; Larsen (Ga.).
Brinson IN. c. and Stephens (Miss.).
Democrats. They favor keeping the
House at its present size.
TT is our opinion" the minority men,
bers state, that there is no public de-
mand for an increased membership of
the House; In fact, we believe popular
opinion Is opposed to any increase what
soever.
Our citizens already are taxed more
than $5,000,00O.000 a year to meet the
annual public expenditures, and we
don't feel that the proposed additional
burden is either necessary or can be
justified. Furthermore, we believe the
efficiency of the House will not be
increased by adding to it's membership,
but such action will result in that body
becoming more unwieldy and cumber-
Some than 1t is at the present time.
Increased membership means greater
delay in the transaction of the public
business.
1T is admitted that conditions both
in the Capitol and the House Office
Building are such that additional menu
bers cannot be provided for in either
building. The increased membership II
authorized must secure quarters else
where and any present arrangement
would be only temporary. The erec-
ton of a new office building at a cost
Of from 100000 to s5.000,00O will be
necessary The proposed measure would,
if adopted, increase salary for members
$4,000 annually; clerk hire, slI6640;
mileage (estimated). $2I0,0O0: franks
messages and postage (estimated)-s2io.-
900; stationery allowance. $1,000; addi-
tional force for maintenance of quar-
ters, $4,000; in all more than million
dollars annually
THE question here presented is not
new. but is one that recurs every ten
years. The membership of the House
cannot be increased indefinitely.
stop must be made sometime. and IN
our opinion no time ever Will be more
opportune than the present for we be-
lieve that point has been reached
where increased membership will result
in decreased efficiency"

Somerville, n. j., Boy Also Is
Implicated i'm at Least One
Other Blaze.

Herbert Slater OF Somerville. y. J.. a
son of William Slater. founder OF the
firm of w Slater & Son. dealers in agri-
cultural machinery. was arrested yester-
day in his home. charged with setting
fire to his fathers place OF business on
March II, the barn of Alexander Ander-
son on March 13 and the lumber yard of
the Hoffman Supply Company within the
last two weeks. According to County
Prosecutor E. NJ. Beekman, Slater has
confessed to setting fire to the Slater
place and to the Anderson barn, but
denies any connection with the Hoffman
fire He was taken yesterday before JUS
tice William l.. Sutphin and sent to the
Somervlle county Jail in $4,000 bail to
await the action OF the Grand Jury.
The authorities said yesterday that on
March is. the day before the fire in the
Slater building. William Slater received
this letter:
"Slater-,Pay my bill at once or I'll
burn your building down. Bill"
Mr.. Slater and members OF his family
thought the letter the work Of a crank
and paid no attention to II, but the next
night fire started in the building In sew
cral places. In the alleged confession
to-day young Slater said that in arrang-
Ing for the fire he had fixed several cleo
trio wires leading from the Slater home
into the store and had placed infiam-
mable materials at the end of them.
This was ignited at the drop OF switch.
and the fire started In several places at
the same time. He also is said to have
admitted he fired the Anderson building
In the hope the flames would spread TO
his fathers building.
The three fires coming so close to-
gether caused considerable excitement
in Somerville, and forty-one special po-
licemen were detailed to hunt for the
frebug and protect other property.
County Prosecutor Beekman. suspecting
young Slater. compared his handwriting
with that of the note received by the
boys father. and the similarity between
the two led to Slaters' arrest.

But knmbalI Is Forgetful as to
Nature of Loot.

Patrolman Harold King of the Hemp
stead police force found William KIM

tween Baldwin and Hampstead yester-
day. Kimball stopped the policeman
and told him that he was the man who
recently had robbed the home of Ralph
Peters. Jr.. OF Garden City.
King took Kimball to the Hampstead
police station. where he asserted he had
committed every robbery that has oc-
CURED in that section of Long Island
during the last few weeks. But In no
case could he recall what he had stolen,
although from the Peters home alone
the thieves obtained jewelry valued at
$4,000 He said that whatever II was
he had taken he had sold 1t in New York
city near the Brooklyn Bridge.
Charles r. Weeks. District Attorney
