Alfred Anon has a warm spot
in his heart for the Horse Heaven
country. He always has had it,
but this week, an additional glow
has been kindled there. He sold an
acre of land nine miles out in the

improvements on the land either,

Did they sit around reading up

their babies in day nurseries?

VOU are doubtless aware that

he lives. He is said to be insane

fore nearly always the result OF
some hitch that has occurred in
childhood or adolescence in the
process of the formation of the
various sentiments of self-regard.
Probably the most common Of
these Is a.. failure. at the age of
early sexual awakening, to face
the new and strange desires and
potentialities that arise within the
mind and to sublimate them into
useful healthy activity. 1t is I'M
desirable for an adolescent to ex-
press his sex in irregular habits,
but 1t is possibly even more un-
desirable that he should suppress
it and try to pretend that it is
not there. The ideal way is that
he should express it in love for
his parents, teachers and friends,
or for one or two individuals
among them. and put its energy
into his work and play. Failure
to grapple with the sex problem
in adolescence inevitably means q

tions, but will exert constant pres.

sist, AMERICA is SAFE.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
My wife and / have just been
talking over. that letter you
printed from a woman who would
like to dispense with husbands
before the babies are born, and
we would like to tell you what
we think Of 1t. am a railroad
man. My wife is 25 years old,
while I am nearly 90. We have
three children, aged years, 3
years and IL months. So we
know all about fatherhood and
motherhood and what it means.
And my wife says that of all
times to be away from her daddy
yep, that's mel and the other
kiddies, the prenatal period would
be her last choice.
Maybe that's because I've
always tried to do my bit when
she needed me. When my last
two kiddies were born / was
right where a husband should
be-BY HER SIDE. All could
do was hold her hand, but that
seemed to help, so / stuck. IN
OTHER WORDS, WE TRY TO
DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
AND IF THAT is NOT WHAT
MARRIED LIFE WAS IN.
TENDED FOR, THEN WHY
GET MARRIED AT ALL?
If man and woman truly love
each other, it is beyond me to
understand why they should want
to be apart at such a vital time
in their lives-the entrance of
children.
In closing, let me say that my
wife would not go to a hospital

children for she didn't want to
