SHOWDOWN

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-A nation

National Committee for Law En-
forcement, for a Showdown" on
the question of enforcing the pro-
hibition law in America, will be
launched next month at a series
of meetings that will be held from
coast to coast.
Leading politicians of both
parties, including Presidential as
pirants, are to be asked to aid in
enforcing the Eighteenth amend
mend by plainly stating their posi-.
ton with respect to it. Any effort
to dodge the issue will be regarded
as opposition, leaders in the move
ment asserted today.
The New York State Women's
Committee for Law Enforcement,
in cooperation with the national
committee, will hold it's meetings on
November IL and Is. There will be
services in the churches, gather
ings in private homes, and meetings
in public halls. Similar meetings
will be held in other States on No.
vember IS so that the whole thing

Investigation will he made as to
whether churches are taking an
active or passive interest in the

liquor law offenders lightly and
whether or not they seem to be
melting out adequate penalties.

How Can He STOP?

Dear Martha Lee: Will you please help
me solve this problem? I have been mar
rled, more than four years and my hus-
band is very nice to me. He has only one
fault and it is very bad one. Ever
since we've been married he has gambled.
sometimes he loses. and sometimes he
wins, but, it is gambling just the same
AS he doesn't make a very large salary,
we can't afford this. He knows it but it
seems as If he can't break himself of the
habit. Now, Martha Lee will you tell me
Of some way to help break my husband of
this habit? We love each other dearly,
and wouln hate for this one thing to
come between us. PAT.
Why don't you get him to let you
manage his salary? You budget it
carefully, and allow him proper
proportion of it for his personal ex-
penses and for gambling. If, then,
ne wants to gamble on his own
money, it is his own funeral when
he loses, and you must be a good
sport and say nothing. But if he
loves you as you say he does, and
if he has any honor at all, he will
not gamble with money which right
fully belongs to you.

Genius Quest
Spells Many
Good Citizens
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Winifred Sackville Stoner is con-
Quoting a search for child geniuses
from her apartment in New York.
With a few simple articles such as
sticks and balls, dolls and typewrit-
ers, she says she can determine
whether or not a baby will grow
into a great man or woman.
No doubt many trusting parents
will allow her to test their marvel
Gus children and from that moment
live in the hope that they will see
their sons climb up among the not
ables of the earth. And no doubt
many such a parent will be disap-
pointed.
All Parents Hope
Practically all fathers and moth
erS would like to see their children
out-distance all others in learning
and achievement. Most of us cling
to the idea that our youngsters are
marvels Of intelligence and far
above the average in learning. We
can see in them marks of genius
every day.
Rare indeed is the mother who
believes that hers is an ordinary
child
And yet we all know that every
body can't be genius. We must
have some people in the world who
are common, every day plodders,
else what would become of the
world?
And the pity CT it is that in so
many instances we spoil fine ordi-
nary citizens trying to make geni-
uses out of them.
Educating Truck Driver
When our boy is obviously cut out
by nature to be truck driver, we
still insist that he take a law course.
If our girl shows evidences of be-
coming a housewife with strong do
nestle proclivities, we force her to
be a mediocre musician. For we
all want our children to be diplo-
mats, flnanciers, physicians, or SEN
ators. Nothing short of the spec
tacular will satisfy us. With the
natural result that we often ruin a
good farmer making an incompetent
college professor.
1t seems to me that the world
would be a great deal better off and
that mankind would be far happier
if we made up our minds to let our
children develop naturally and IL
they are only commonplace, to teach
them to be just as good and useful
and happy citizens as possible.
Aspiring to the stars is laudable,
but if you are not able to reach one,
small candle faithfully carried
will shine to advantage in a dark
place.

Perhaps you are unduly worried
about this problem. You say that
your wife takes good care of your
home and little children. Well,
then, it would look as if she de-
served one evening to herself.
Why don't you take one evening
to yourself also? Don't be unpleas-
ant about it, but be just as mys-
ferrous about what you do as she is.
Don't nag at her. Take her out as
much as possible. Let her have her
free time, and take some yourself.
Then let me know what happens.

Girl Mayoralty
Asbiramt Casts
Vote for Herself
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 11.-Vot-
ing for the first time, Miss Helen
Gwendolyn Jones, Concord'S girl
mayoralty candidate, cast her bal
lot for Helen Gwendolyn Jones here
today.
Less than twenty minutes after
the polls opened for the municipal
primary the 24-year-old college
graduate appeared at the polling
place.
"I don't think I am open to criti-
cism for voting for myself" she
said. "If I had but one opponent
should vote for him. But since
there are three men running against
me I would be playing favorites if
voted for any particular one"
Miss Jones, who is attractively
plump, beamed confidence. The
Concord Monitor, her home town
newspaper, had rated her second
among the four primary candidates.
If she finishes in either first or Sec
ond place her name will go on the
ballot for election day, Nov. 8.
I'm absolutely sure I'll at least
be in second place" she said today,
land it wouldn't surprise me if I
finished on top"
Only Mayor Fred N. Marden, a
former policeman, was picked by
the local paper to beat the ambi-
tious young woman, who was gradu-
ated from the State University only
last June. The paper predicted
that Miss Jones would finish ahead
of State Representative Edward B.
Haskell and former Mayor Willis
Flint, both experienced politicians.

BROKEN-HEARTED HUSBAND.
Give your wife time to get over
this shock. Her confidence in you
has been so shaken that it will take
you some time to win it back. Be
patient and attentive, but do not
force yourself on her. Pay your
bills, lead an exemplary life, and
show by your deeds that you are
worthy of her trust and confidence.
Above all, do not push her in this
matter. If you have been pleading
with her, stop it. Enough is enough.
She probably likes to have you at
her feet, and will feel very much
plqued when you stop it. If you
support her as you should, and let
your conduct be irreproachable over
a long period of time, I think she
will return to you of her own &C

Stop begging for her favor. Wom-
