One Mother Says:
I found myself greatly perplexed
by the ~schoolboy love affairs of my
sons which began as early rs the
seventh grade. After various expert
ments with a family of four boys,
I found that 1t is best to take these
affairs as seriously as the boy him
self, and invite the girl to the house,
being careful to be present myself. /
encourage the boys confidence. and
make a friend of the girl, taking her
with us on family picnics and in

many families and this has proved
a successful way to meet 1t in at

Gross. Eyed Men Are Lucky

Science records another notable
discovery this week. This is it:
Eyes can kiss"
Really, Mr.. Printer, you should
set that up in a box with a lot of
funny doo-dads around It to give 1t
emphasis, and then print it in pur-
pie ink.
"The eyes are a bundle of nerves,
more sensitive than the. lips says
This learned gentleman who was adj
dressing a convention of optomet-
rists.
Ii the reporter quoted him accu-
rately, here are some more of those
snappy scientific facts calculated to
brighten the drab and pinched lives
OF us laymen:
an the eyes can be read the depth
Of feeling back of the kiss. 1t is more
soul-stirring even than the real
thing"
There are several qualifications
however. The eyes must be in focus.
or there is room for doubt as to
which girl is intended to be the re-
cipient OF the caress.
kissing has been considered one
of the simplest of the fine rats. But
that is all In the past. The eye
kiss complexities a situation which
was perfectly satisfactory to most
folk and gives us something else
to worry about.
We predict, however, that 1t will
be some time before the practice
becomes widespread to any great
degree.
American women have been pref
ty we'll trained to accept no sub
stitutes."

Answer.
I believe that in a case such as yours that patience and
forgiveness are a better remedy for the situation than d-
vorce. A young woman, whose husband has been unfaith-
full to her, can wipe off the slate, and make a fresh start,
and rebuild her life again, but at middle age 1t is too late. A
woman who has loved her husband for many years can no
more really separate herself from him than she can cut her
self in. two, and still go on living. He is part Of her very
existence, and she is happier near him, even when her soul is
torn with jealousy, than she is entirely away from him.

There is nc excuse for a middhaged man who has been a good, faith
thing for men to do; and you have plenty of company, if that is COM
fort to you, Brokenhearted Wife. Around fifty is the dangerous age for
men when even the sedatist of them often start to show a wildcat crop
and when they fall easy victims to any vamp who comes along. Why they
do this heaven only knows. Perhaps it is a last fareup of romance be-
the long years of jogtrot matrimony and a desire to see II they are still
lady killers. Perhaps 1t is because by that time a man has usually made
his fortune, and the gold diggrs go after him.

Anyway, many middleaged men break their faithful
old wives hearts, and make fools of themselves by indulging
in a little flirtatious fling of which they soon tire, because it
does not take them long to ascertain that they have gotten
too old for such escapades; that they are at heart too moral
to enjoy the double life; that there is small allure for them in
bought kisses; and that, after all, there is no woman for
whom they really care except the old wife at home with
whom they have all memories in common, whose affection is
true and tried, and who knows just what they like to eat, and
what to do for their rheumatism.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-08

what to do for their rheumatism.
So, If the old wife has enough patience, and philosophy, and hunor.
to let her husband have his little spree, he will come back to her a chas-
chapter. Nor should this be So hard for the women to do. because no
wife can live with a husband for twenty or thirty years without finding
out that every mn is a small boy who has to b 10 spanked, and Kissed, n
forgiven every now and then. DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX have a girl friend who, as far as I know.
hasn't done any serious wrong, but they say that she has taken part in a
disgraceful incident. I understand that she wasn't at fault in this case,
and is trying to live it down. l feel sorry or her because l do lot be-
Heve in turning your back upon a friend in trouble. But L find that peo-
pie who know this girls past re inclined to judge me by her.
Would you advise lie % leave her alone, n to stand b. her In pfte
OF public opinion? A FRIEND in DOUBT.
Answer:
If you II convinced that the girl is Innocent and that
she is really trying to do right, stand by her. There is often
a crisis in which a woman is either pushed down into the
pit, or lifted up into safety by just one outstretched hand.
The fact that you believe in the girl will make other peo-
Pile believe in her, and public opinion, which blows fise
one way and then another, will ver to her side in time.
But it is true that we r judged by the company we keep. Especially
girls are, and unless this young woman shows Enthusiastically that she
warny you will not be justified in making the sacrifice that is required 0
you.
II a girl is inherently given to wrongdoing, she hasn't
any right to expect to hide herself behind respectable wo-
mems skirts And if a girl is just silly and foolish, and is
always getting herself into compromising positions she
simply isn't worth your running any risk for. AS soo as
she got herself out of n scrape, she'd get into another and
for her. A girl has not only to be good, but to look good,
and act good. DOROTHY DIX
DEAR MISS DIX am engaged to a young man whom I love Very
Can two people live on that in these days? A. &c.
Answer:
they didn't have any sickness. and o babies came. but it wouldn't leave
much margin for doctors bills and dentists bills, and all the other bills
and ills of daily life.
Much money isn't necessary for people to marry on. but
you must have a margin of safety. No marriage is happy
where there is continue anxiety over where ne nex meal

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The effect OF the raising OF the
New York reserve bank discount from
4 to IL per cent upon today's mar
kets was felt chiefly in the invest
ment section. Liberty bonds promptly
dropped 30 to 30 cents on the 800.
Corporation issues were not weak. but
they were off generally. The bond
market took the reserve banks ac-
ton as a confirmation that the down.
ward movement in interest rates was
definitely over and that the prin-
cipal force in raising investment values
had finally disappeared.
With the speculative stock market
it was a question how much Of an
element Of warning there WIS in this
increase Of the discount rates. The
answer was that il the intention is
to restrain speculation whether in
stocks or in commodities, il is a
comparatively minor motive in the
minds Of the bank directors. Mainly
the advance from 4 to IL per cent
was the readjustment of rediscount
quotations in the New York anu
Boston ulStrlCIs 10 lHoSe prtNhillub
in other sections of the country.
Yet with all that was TO be said
on these lines and with all that was
to be said about the very strong posi-
ton of the federal reserve. the fact
stood out prominently, that it was
the raising of official rates, on the
latter occasion that precipitated the
Wall street decline. This provided a
sentimental test for speculative
movement. The essential difference
from purely stock market standpoint
between conditions today and those
in the autumn, of 1919 was that then
the public had the stocks. whereas
now whatever distribution by the pools
and banking interests has occurred.
the process apparently has not been

Pools Make Bold Stand in

Copyright. by Tho San Antonio Light.
New York. Feb. 23.-The professional
view of today's stock market was that
the pools had been taken aback By
the action Of the reserve bank, yet
were making bold stand to dis
courage any general selling of stocks.
One set of traders was suspicious, az
ing that the market was being he'd
up by main force while another rot
laid stress upon the point that stocks
could not have been distributed in
any large way and beha"ed as ther
did today.
What happened was that after an
uncertain opening and some deeiine
during the first hour, dozen or so
speculative leaders were bid up. This
had a steadying effect upon the rest
Of the list, but was not sufficient 70

every line of industry here except
shipbuifding is active at present.
