high stakes TO be lost or won by the
forces of a nation, we expect the full
measure of loyalty and devotion. but in
time OF peace even q finer character
and better leadership is required to
carry on the training and preparation
which may at some unknown and re-
mote time be vital to the protection and
preservation of our national life. Some
times it is easier to die grandly than to
live worthily.
II congratulate the Navy upon its
worth and substantial accomplishments
during the last five years, upon the new
building program, upon the increased
interest and appreciation manifest in
Congress and by the people and upon
the development in training and ma
terial so clearly demonstrated in recent
target practice and engineering per-
formances.
THE Marine Corps in Nicaragua and
China in cooperation with the Navy
has added to the prestige of the Nation
and has demonstrated the need and
value of these forces In time of peace
1t Is sometimes easier to fight a battle
or prosecute a war than to maintain
peace. Your work will be better under
stood and more greatly appreciated as
your service becomes more generally
known to the people. 1t has been
pleasure to serve you and to serve with
you In position Of responsible leader
ship. In leaving you. bespeak for my
the same fine spirit you have
shown during my administration"

THIS is the year 1929 A. d.

For millions of years men have

the complete truth about bodies

We should learn these truths

We should teach them to our
children as soon as they show the
slightest interest in such matters.
We should be able to discuss
them without embarrassment.
Such knowledge and discussion
should be part of the normal

Showers for BridegrOOms

Showers for BridegrOOms
A PROSPECTIVE bridegroom
"A Of my acquaintance is be-
ginning to feel peeved!
He has stood around in a daze
for six or eight weeks watching
the showers" fall upon his
fiancee. Showers Of everything,
from real lace and embroidered
linen to diamond buckles and sill
yer spoons! And he wants to
know where HE canes in--and
why there are no showers for
trembling bridegrooms as well as
for blushing brides.
Well, why not showers for
bridegrooms? Why should q per-
fectly good young man go into
marriage practically stripped OK
all his ready cash, while girl
receives all the honors and pres
ents and perquisites?
After, all, the girl is getting
everything-a permanent meal
ticket. a, brand-new home, couple
of good diamond rings, and a
trousseau. Whereas, from where
he stands, It looks as though the
man is practically signing away
most Of his spending money ana
pIedging himself to wear his olo
clothes for the rest Of his natural
life.
No wonder so many men get
all lit up on the eve of their own
wedding and have to be bracsd UP
and carried to the church: Iney
want to forget it!
There are a hundred things tnat
a bridegroom needs, and Whlch
would fill the first turbulent years
Of married life with sweetness anu
light for him.
For instance, any man Would
be delighted to receive a topacco
shower" No man would finch
at being showered with imported
cigars, Turkish cigarettes, huml'
dors. cigar lighters. tobacco
pouches and tins Of his favorite
mixture. These would afford MIN
at least a few months respite
before he got down to g corn'cop
pipe, in order to make the pay
ments on the new car.
Or how about a golf shower!
With brassies and mashies ana
niblicks and golf balls and Wild
checkered stockings, to carry MIN
along and buoy him up while the
shedding was hard and the Dill
collectors importunate?
Or a haberdashery shower? Just
to provide him with enough aurora
borealis neckties and fancy sports
shirts to tide him over the lean
days, while he is paying for the
pink kitchen range or the blue
bassinet.
Or If he is a scofflaw, his sym.
pathetic bachelor friends might
come across with a cocktail
shower"-fIasks and bottles OF
joy water and enough bonded
stuff to make him forget the
first monthly bills.
Thus far, the wedding has been
time of glory and glamor and
triumph for the bride-and moth
ing but a horrible torment for
the bridegroom.
If showers for bridegrooms
would make It seem more like a
dream and less like nightmare,
perhaps there might Be more

criticism stage, adolescence and
adulthood-is not exactly an arbi.

It possesses distinct psychology

BY means of it we are enabled
to trace the origin Of many Of our

some elements viii progress as

Of speed, as it were. while others

in their development.
Such arrest of development Is
spoken of as "fixation."
Most people have one or more
such fixations. That is while
most Of their traits are definitely
mature. a few exhibit the ear
marks OF a childhood period from
which, in this particular respect.
they have never been completely
able 10 en1ancipate themselves.
An individual with fixation IN
the ihfantile stage, for instance,
is likely to be selfish, self-centered,
given to unusual care Of the body,
ana unwilling to do any thing
that does not spell advantage to
himself.
