Growing Cold

Dear Miss Lee: 1 have been married
three years. and I still love my husband.
but we are growing further and further
apart. and 1 am afraid of what might
happen Even now, don't love him as
once did.
I am sure he is true to me, and am
true to him. But he seems TO be losing
interest in me. Why. we can hardly carry
on a conversation any more. He talks
about his business and I talk about the
household. and we don't pay much atten-
tion to each other He doesn't seem to
care a thing about the house, although he
used TO care so much.
What can 1 do to hold him? We have
a two-year- old baby, and 1 would hate for
her to grow up without her father.
WORRIED MOTHER.
Do you remember how, before you
were married. you used to be in-
terested in everything your husband
told you? And do you remember
how you used to keep the converse
ton turned on matters that inter
ested him?
1t worked then. It probably
would work now At least, you
might give it trial Less talk about
petty household details probably will
bring more interest.

Those who went to get expert
thought on taxation and the labor
movement in a Government industry
now have the opportunity to con-
suit Andrew w. Mellon, secretary
of the treasury and DR.. Sterling Den
hard Spero, Research Fellow in the
New School for Social Research.
New York.
Those who want to study the tax
problem as considered by Secretary
Mellon will be able to do so in
Taxation: The Peoples Business, a
new publication by the Macmillan
Company.
Mellon advances the argument
that high sUrtaxes are becoming
less and less productive of revenues
to the Government and at the
same time are injuring business
initiative"
Continuing, he says: IAN busi-
ness involves risk. If business loses,
the Government shares not at all
in loss: if business succeeds, the
Government takes more than half of
the gain. What can long withstand
these odds?
1.-The spirit Of initiative may still
be there. but the present nigh sur
taxes are driving it into idleness.
America will become a nation of fol-
lowers, not leaders. There is no
escape from the conclusion that n
tax system having this inevitable re-
suit must be changed
Mellon in a number Of chapters
discusses the fundamental principles
of taxation, treasury policies, revis-
irg the taxes. surtaxes, taxing
energy and initiative, estate taxes
and other kindred problems.
AS the tax problem is demanding
attention during the presidential
campaign, Melons new book gives
the reader an opportunity to ap-
proach the subject in plain English
and minus the gingerbread of tech
nical talk.

Women Snore Louder and More ArtiSticaly;

M EW YORK. Oct. 21.-Women
i'm snore louder than men.
I However, more men than
women are given to snoring.
But when a slumbering woman
tunes up her baritone notes, they
reach a pitch that echoes above
the rumble OF a railroad train.
At least so remarks William
Jenkins, 68. who wears more serv-
ice stripes on his Pullman uniform
than an approved zoo zebra, and
who has made a detailed study Of
snores since he became a berth
tender fifty-four years ago.
Knows En- All
Yes, sir" says William. gestur.
ing with his best thankyou-for-the-
big-tip smile, Il know all about
snores. Many a night they snore
like a saw mill and keep we awake

jenkins. who has portered for the
Nanderbiltsa.G .Goulds, all Pullman
celebrities-even Peggy Joyce
has been on the run between New
York and Atlantic City for
twenty-four years. But he would
not name his favorite snorer.
More people don't snore than
do" explains William.
ha
women produce the saxophone
snores while the lean and slender
types snore the rasping, whistling
noises-as true as n SO cornet.
Heavier types are more likely to
participate in the disturbing
nighttime melody than thinner
ones, says Jenkins, who ADDS that
fat people "snore sitting up"
With ten five year service stripes
on his left arm, Jenkins Is more
than a snore expert-he is a good
porter. When George Pullman
was president Of the company that
provides hotels on wheels, he re-
marked that jenkins must have
a lifetime position with the COM
pany. He Is never to be retired or
pensioned."
Porter at II
Jenkins, who was born in slav-
cry in Virginia. has been a Pull
man porter since he was II. He
is married and has a daughter in

What do you do when people
complain Of others snoring?" he
was asked.
Just wake 'em up and give 'em

turn over" he replied. You know
