LISTEN WORLD!
Should Mothers Haze Careers?
By Elsie Robinson

} child may be left with trained wo.
men while the mother works.
America, less radical and perhaps
less wise in handling certain hu-
man problems, has made no such
provision for the working mother.
But she works, nevertheless, by
the thousands.
Virginia MacMakin Collier tells
about some of these mothers in
a survey which she made for the
Bureau of Vocational Information.
Her book Is called Marriage and
Careers" It's good stuff. You'd
better read it. She cites two
cases.
Mrs. RS interests are intellec-
tual. She becomes irritable with
the children and they with her
when they are constantly together
because they are 80 very much
alike. She finds the manual labor
connected with the children very
firing. It completely fatigues her
and makes her Ill. AS she now ar
ranges to see her children and be
with them, they adore her. They
consider it a great joy to have her
with them or go out with her and
she gives them a great deal in the

children grow older / think they

difficulty about the children Is due
to her conscientiousness. She
can't rest until every tiny detail
is perfect and she overworks her
self as a consequence. ...-
Another mother who belongs
in the same category told of the
two hours romp she has with her
children each evening. We have
glorious times together she said.
7 have discovered that children
can be splendid company. and
find the very things which 1r-
ritated me when 1 was with them

understand them and their de.

That may not convince YOU or
ME- that there's any job on earth
half as wonderful as taking care
of our own babies. Butt may
make us q bit more tolerant with
that young mother who lives
across the street and who'd "give
anything on earth to be holding
down my old job again." Maybe
she isn't such an inhuman mon-
ster, after all!

the soft pressure Of his sleeping
body in my arms, his helpless
ness. his constant need of me
these made life rich beyond
words.
And yet other young mothers
whom 7 knew were worn to
shreds" by that same helpless
ness, those same demands. They
escaped from them into any job
that offered. They assured me
that they loved their babies, but
I didn't believe them. I believe
them now, for I've come to see
that woman may have a
MOTHER HEART and yet not
be gated up for the detailed
task of MOTHERING.
We take it for granted that
any woman who can HAVE a
baby and LOVE a baby is also
able to care for it. That doesn't
follow. There's many a man
who can design a building beau
tifully who'd go crazy if he tried
to build one. There's many a
woman who can love a child
dearly who is driven frantic II
she tries to rear one.
Sentimentally, we revolt against
the idea Of a baby being raised by
ANYONE but his own mother" We
feel that there is a special virtue
in that mothers service. There
may be, If she is an intelligent,
controlled, trained worker as well
as a mother. But actually, many
a mothers service Is the worst
thing that could happen to a child.
She is too ignorant. too emotional,
TOO sentimental and too edgey for
the job.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis x. Bisch.

EVERYBODY does 1t, most Of
~ US overdo it, many get into
debt because of 1t. and. strange to
say, scarcely anyone realizes why
he does it.
I refer to this business Of gifts!
Nay, business is hardly the right
word here. although business
thrives on 1t. Giving actually bor-
ders on a pathological state. When
once it gets you, no matter how
much you may try to fight it down,
you simply must give or bust. 1t
certainly doesn't take long for the
habit of giving to become a full
fledged obsession.
Useful, helping, cheering, neces-
sary and enlightening though Civ
ing may be, I must insist it is
neurotic trait when 1t is overdone.
The psychology behind it Is in
teresting.
The habit of giving. strange as it
may seem, is directly linked up
with the guilt sense.
Every man and woman feels
more or less guilty. l might have
included children except for the
reason that children are especially
guilt conscious and it is IN child
hood that our guilt feelings begin
to sprout.
Recall your own earliest days
and see whether this is not true.
Can you recall how often you were
scolded, punished, or told you were
a naughty child? Do you remem-
ber how you felt?
Undoubtedly other children, your
playmates, were pointed out to you
as models. You were told that you
were different. Your wrongdoing
was stressed, magnified and often
grossly exaggerated. You were
too young, too immature. too mex
perienced, to question or deny the
charges that were heaped upon
you. You were compelled to ac-
cept what your mother, father,
teacher, nurse or anybody else
told you at its face value. And the
sum total result, of course, was a
something the matter with YOU
in short, that you were guilty.
To be sure, rs you grew older,
as observation and reasoning dawn.
ed in your brain cells and you were
able to compare, deduce and en-
ploy logic, you began to realize
that you were not such guilty
person after all.
When you were accused and
scolied then you probably thought
your own part, or even talked
back. You no longer swallowed
everything hook, line and sinker.
You now employed critical judg-
ment upon others, upon yourself.
But by then it was already too
late!
The sense Of guilt, you see, had
already been firmly implanted in
your unconscious or subconscious
mind. Your memory storehouse
already had on its shelves nu-
merous titles reading, Il am
guilty"
To this very day this uncon-
scious sense of guilt, strong or
weak as the case may be, is mo-
tivating you and influencing you,
and the best of it is that you may
not even be aware of it!
How can you tell whether your
hidden guilt sense is strong or
not? BY estimating the strength
of your giving obsession. The
stronger your compulsion to make
gifts, whether 1t be a Mothers
Day remembrance, a Christmas
present, Red Cross seals, a charit-
able donation or a bunch of flow
ers to your sweetheart, the
stronger. you M ay be sure. is your
sense of guilt.
The guilt sense and the urge
to give lie in direct proportion.

That is my personal opinion and
am airing it only because l have
been asked that so often snicc there
is no show now in the city using the
reserved seat idea.
I have before me the current issue
of Variety" and find an inter
esting dispatch from Minneapolis.
where Keiths is making brave ef-
fort to re-establish tWoa-day vaude-
vile.
The article from Variety" is as
follows:
Keiths Is still Shooting the works"
here in its effort to put across tvo-a-dsy
yaude at the Hennepn.
The failure Of last weeks exceptional
show with such q headuper as Glda Gray
to attract paying business seemed like the
last straw for the policy. 1t perhaps
sounded the death knell for bigtimc
vaudeville here.
The strenuous and skillfu1 efforts Of
Claude Saunders and Frank Burke have
been dishearteningly unsuccessful. Six
weeks of names and first rate shows, With

past two weeks is not regarded as a turn
Of the tide. The belief prevails that this
upward trend Of the past fortnight was
due to the strength OF the headliners in
stead OF indicating that the policy Is
making any headTay.
Manager Frank Burke expresses the be-
lief that the present names will serve
to get the policy established during the
dog days so that when fall and its weather
conducive 10 raudc attendance arrive, the
house will be set for a rapid squirt upward.
Then. he feels. the real benefits will be
reaped The big names undoubtedly are
creating lot of talk and keeping interest,
higher in The policy than it otherwise
would be. he points out II necessary, he
thinks. the same headliners can he
brought back without injury to the box

Under tgo-a-day the house operating
nut is somewhat higher than under the
grind policy. The orchestra receives
higher scale and more ushcrs are nccc3-

Personally. l would welcome two
shows a day of vaudeville in this
city. But the time is not right and
probably never will be.
