SmOthering wives
Before marriage girl moth
ers" a man by making him
comfortable, catering to his
moods, sympathizing with him,
admiring his talents, and offer
ing to keep his 11eckties pressed.
After marriage she "smothers"
him by censoring his food,
opening his letters, apologizing
for his pet habits, keeping
tabs on his time and selecting
his neckties.
It is SO different! AS diff
ferent as Saturday night and
Monday morning
Far more marital love is
killed by suffocation than ever
died from starvation!
Prying, picking, arguing and
following him around with ad-
vice, a QUESTIONABLE and a
hot water bottle never made
any man grateful for a woman's
devotion. Either it hardens
him so that he doesn't notice
that she Is there, or it tortures
him until he would cheerfully
turn and murder her if he did
not fear the publicity.
He may "give in" to you, but
every time you win a little
point over him you lose a lot Of
his love.
Many a husband spends his
whole life as a prisoner at the

everything for a man to feel
that every time he changes

ONCE-OVERS
Do You Govern Yourself?

A word to young persons:
If you were given rope, just
how far would you go in any
thing?
Would you be discriminating
and Selective in your acquaint-
Ances?
Would you become too IA
miliar on short acquaintance?
Would you spend more money
than you would if you were
earning it?
Would you be grasping and
greedy in making a bargain?
Would you eat the foods and
drink the beverages that you
have been taught are injurious
to your condition?
How far can you be trusted
when it comes to curbing your
possible desires or your inclina-
lions under pressure?
Would you say mo" and
stand by it if pastimes or pleas
ureS were suggested Dy your
crowd that you would not care
to tell your mother about?
Would you be false to a
friend and untruthful when
questioned about it?
These are the questions many
parents are asking as they send
their children away to college
or out in life to earn their
living.
The man or the woman who
can govern self can govern
others.
If you can't govern yourself
you are going to be an under
ling as soon as this becomes
known. Sooner or later all get
what they deserve.

Denies He Wrote Letter
On atheism"

Editor, Times:
I have just read with aston
ishment a Letter in The Times
of tonight "wednesday headed,
What About This, Mr.. Gale?"
and purporting to be signed by
myself.
I never wrote or signed any
such letter.
1t is true that I have re-
signed from the u A" and that
I gave out to the press a dec
laration to that effect. My
attitude today is that Of the
liberal Christian. However, I
have no condemnation for my
former associates who still be-
lieve in atheism and much less
do I wish to impugn their sin
cerity.

Your Child
Food Necessary to Growth Of
Bones Essential to Babies

son and more nearly straight
Curves increase with growth.
His chest or thorax is funnel
shaped, and the ribs nearly hori-
zontal. These figures are average
of course, and won't check up the
same with all babies.
Circumference at birth: 1919 or
IA inches; l year, Is inches; 2 years,
10 inches; years, 81 or % inches.
Collar Bone Short
At Is, his chest will measure, &C
cording to Drs. Holt and Rowland,
thirty inches. 1t is difficult for the
parent to get bone measurements
on account of the varying weights
of children and the amounts of
flesh they carry.
The collar bone is short at first,
giving the appearance of narrow
shoulders. The arm bones are al
most the same. relatively, to the
rest of the body as those of the
adult, just being a slight degree
shorter. They soon reach their
permanent proportion. The legs,
too, are somewhat shorter, being
less than half his total height,
while the adult legs are exactly
half.
Sales Turn Inward
The soles of the baby's feet turn
little toward each other, but
soon straighten. Arches are not
well developed and the heel bone
is small. 1t grows later and pro-
jects backward, particularly as he
starts to walk.
The respiration or breathing rate
at birth is about thirty to forty a
minute. Under 3 years it is likely
to be irregular. The pulse rate is
rapid, about 100 per minute. A
child usually loses weight for the
first two days, This loss of weight
stops during the third day and
should be regained by the tenth
day.
If any mother is worried about
the proportions of her baby, these
statistics may set her mind at rest.
just give him time and he will
straighten out all his kinks and
shortcomings. The wonder is that
new babies are as nearly perfect as
they are.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Let us see how the baby's bones
check up with those he will own
later in life.
The infant has more bones nu-
merically than the adult, owing to
many INFUSED parts in his skeleton.
Their composition is quite different
also, as there is less ash and more
water.
This is why a child's bones are
more flexible. Food containing the
necessary minerals to growth of the
bones is essential during childhood.
Where these minerals are lacking,
or insufficient, serious disorders
occur.
In a baby the skull is large, the
face small, sinuses are not devel-
oped and jawbone weak and not
fully formed. The soft spot" or
fontaneu above the forehead does
not close over until the middle or
end of the second year. It should
be closed by that time, however.
Head Grows Slowly
The head measures about sixteen
inches around at birth, seventeen
inches at the end of six months,
and eighteen inches at a year. The
head of 2year-old baby averages
about nineteen inches in circum-
ference. After that its size increases
more slowly. A child of will meas
ure approximately 2014 inches about
his head, while at Is years of age
his head will be probably one inch
or an inch and half larger.
A baby's backbone is shorter and
broader than that of an older per-

palms and ferns, and lighted with
cathedral candles. Miss Marie To-
len will sing 81 Love You Truly
and "Oh, Promise Me" Joseph Ca
hill, pianist, will play.
The bride, who will be given in
marriage by her father, will wear
pastel green chiffon, and carry an
arm bouquet of Sweetheart roses.
Miss Avanelle Myers, will be her
sisters only attendant. She will
wear peach chiffon, and carry pink
roses. Earl Hackleman will be the
best man.
A reception will follow the
ceremony. The brides table will be
centered with a wedding cake, on a
plateau of summer flowers.
The bridal couple will leave after
the reception for a trip to the lakes
of northern Indiana. They will be
at home after Sept. Is at the Black
stone apartments, 4001 East Wash
ington street. She will go away in a
black suit, with black and white
accessories.
