So you are going to be father!
That news is your cue to go into
your song and dance. OF course,
you are pleased as punch and sur
prised as the dickensl
But after the announcement jam
boree has died down, what does
prospective pape do, then, poor
thing?
If he is very far-sighted and
thorough young man he HES him
self to his wife's doctor for the pro-
fessional lowdown on conditions.
> An excellent idea, for when you
hear from the medico that there is
nothing very special about having
baby, that there is nothing to worry
about when your wife insists on
dancing the evening through, and
winding up on lobster Newburg, you
VIII be more apt to keep the situa-
ton well in hand.
Why Worry?
Remember that she is a modern
young woman following her physi-
clans instructions and that she will
mot go dancing if it tires her.
She will not want lobster if it
makes her Ill. She is not worrying,
80 why should you?
The over solicitous male about
the house is apt to prove Just as
trying as the callous brute who
pirates about the dozen children his
mother had-"So why all this
pother?"
But you might just as we'll make
up your mind to humor the little
woman, unreasonable as her ca
prices may seem.
II she bursts into tears for no
cause at all, don't imagine it means
because she is only pretending that
her baby is going to be welcome
she herself won't know what she
may be crying about and the flood
VIII stop as suddenly as it started.
Don't Think She's Insane
All she routs you out at 3 in the
morning to fetch her an ice cream
SODA, do not hold it against her
sanity.
She will laugh at herself at
breakfast for having been so silly.
put II you do what she asks. she
VIII put you down as an elegant and
chivalrous husband greatly to be
appreciated. So make up YOUR
mind that it is all quite mad and
vastly amusing.
Ihere is no predicting how the
prospective mamma will react to
anything, and the best laid plans
Tor her amusement often will go
astray at the last moment. =,
IL, live minutes after leaving the
olnner table on the night that YOU
nave tickets to the theater, she an
nounces that she is going to bed. do
not make the mistake of assuming
that such program will be in force
two nights later.
Use the Telephone
A good, safe habit for a father
to-be to get into is that of tele-
phoning home late in the afternoon.
BY that time the lady of the house
will have her mind pretty we'll made
up as to what she feels up to doing
that evening.
She man want dinner quietly at
home or she may be hoping that
you will bring some chap in for
cocktails and perhaps go on to a
gay spot to dine where you are sure
to run into congenial friends.
If she shows no sign of wishing
to bring an end to an evening of
bridge or backgammon, do not try
to rush her off home or up to bed
on the stroke of midnight.
She may prefer to do her sleeping
in the morning and her gadding
after shutdown.
Gayety will not hurt her one bit.
nor crowds embarrass her, so what
ever her leanings remember that for
this once at least mother, with her
doctor in the background, knows
best!

The Thanksgiving fluid Sloan
His Inheritance Was Bitter Hate, hut His
Enemy Shozced Him LoUe
BY LANDON KEY

Somehow this morning seemed more cheer
full than most. The sun was shining through
the window brightly. Outside, on a branch
which he could see, squirrel eyed Jud Sloan
pertly. He grinned at it.. And the flowers
seemed to have more coloring-Often Jud Sloan
had wondered about those flowers. Surely they
couldn't have been supplied by the hospital.
There were too many of them. But Jud Sloan
was not interested in flowers, and his curiosity
about them never reached the point of ques-
tioning his nurse.
I've surprise for you!"
Surprise? What?" Jud Sloan only mildly
curious
We'll to begin with, have you any idea what
day it is?'
Sure" said Jud Sloan positively, "its Thurs
day, we'll have bread pudding today for lunch"
Keller laughed. $50 that's how you've been
keeping track of the days?"
Its easy" said Jud Sloan, 'now, tomorrow
it'll be raisin pie and Saturday."
wait minute, Mr.. Sloan" Keller, still
laughing, interrupted him. She was almost ex-
the first time she had broken through his sui
len wall. She felt suddenly buoyant. And
it was Thanksgiving! you're getting too far
ahead" she continued. What else is it besides
Thursday"
Nothing else
Eyes, 1t Is, too-and you'll not have bread
pudding. You'll have pumpkin pie! Now
Does that suggest anything?" Keller was very
happy
"U-m-m. Can it be Thanksgiving" Jud
Sloans tone was doubtful
1T can," said Keller, triumphantly tits
Thanksgiving day. Mr.. Sloan. And there'l be
turkey and cranberry sauce and candied sweet
potatoes and nuts and-oh, you ought to be
glad you're on full tray! Just think! If you
couldn't have anything but soup! Aren't you
thankful?"
Then Jud Sloan scowled; his eyes narrowed.
Thankful" he sneered Thankful I'm on my
back, eh? Thankful because I was nearly
killed" his voice was bitter on account
of a"
"Eow-peasel" Keller's heart was lead again.

But she dare not tell him.

things to be thankful for, Mr.. Sloan," she said
earnestly. Waltz

Luke asked hopefully.

Alice made incredibly bad starts, every time,
but that phenomenal power which she was
able to call upon, once she got under way
saved her
She came up to the semi-finals with the
newspapers still exalting. Bob was by no
means confident. She would, he told Old Luke
have to do considerably better to win from
now on. Her opponents were good. Kinuye
Hltomi OF Japan was the favorte Next was

were contestants from Canada, France and

"Hitomi, Japan, first" thundered the loud
speaker. Cook, Canada, second Lathrop,

The crowd rose to the last name Alice how

And then was out in front and there was the
tape!"
THAT isn't ALL either" Bob cut in. i've
telegraphed the Olympic Committee to have
her put on the sprint team. And with this
mark there isn't a doubt in the world she'll
run in the hundred meters"
Think Of it, you darling!" Alice seized Old
Luke by his two tough cheeks. "IH run for
America. Me, Alice Lathrop Maybe I'll set
a new record. Bob says may if III improve
my start"
Bob had come close, and Alice caught his
brown hand. He turned red, and then white,
and then stood very straight.
What couple, Old Luke thought! Bob just
enough taller to look over Alices shining black
head with ease
And then Old Luke remembered Platt's an
nouncement.
He went dejectedy home. And his detection
decreased not at all when on the heels Of her
acceptance by the Olympic Committee, Alice
went off to Los Angeles with the rest of the
team. Nor did it make him much happier to
read of her reception there.
The Los Angeles newspapers went after Alice
head over heels "A reincarnated Mercury
wrote one excited reporter. Miss Mercury"
was the happier title bestowed by another.
THIS last became Alce's own. BY the time
] the day of the trial heats arrived, no one
was calling her anything else. And when
Platt plump and completely assured put in an
appearance the papers went into ecstasies over
Miss Mercury's romance.
Old Luke grimaced at that; and did it again
when he discovered that Bob shared his feeling.
Bob. now, was desperately distrait young
man, whose condition could not be entirely
attributed to the strain of the forthcoming
Olympic games.
Sure, I'll tell you what's wrong" he agreed
when Old Luke pressed him. I'm in love.

HUNGRY CHINESE
ATTEMPTED TO
MOB LINDBERCH
Mrs Lindbergh Describes
the Scene as Starving
People Thought the
Machine Was Carrying
Food

New York, Feb 22.--(UP)--An
attempt by hungry Chinese flood
sufferers to mob Col Charles A.
Lindbergh's airplane on his mercy
flight" to Hinghwa with medicine
last summer was described in de-
tail for the first time yesterday by
Mrs Lindbergh in her first radio
broadcast.
Mrs Lindbergh, apparently
thoroughly at ease told listeners
on a combined National Columbia
network Of the dramatic incident.
It occurred during their aerial vaca-
ton in the Orient which was cut
short by the death of Senator
Dwight w. Morrow, her father.
She spoke on behalf Of Chinese
flood relief.
"A Chinese doctor. an American
doctor, and my husband took off
for the marooned city Of Hinghwa
with several sacks Of medical sup
plies.A plane could not carry
enough food to be of any help. I
had given my place to one doc
tor.
THE baggage compartment had
been cleared of much emergency
equipment to tighten the load and
make room for the second.
"1n less than an hour they COM
pleted trip which would have
taken days even at a normal time
by canal. When the plane landed
on a flooded field outside the city
walls and sack Of anti-toxins was
transferred to a sampan, hundreds
Of Chinese began to swarm about
the party. thinking the bag con-
tanned food.
"'No.' said the Chinese doctor,
not food-medicine.' But men,
women and children looked at the
sack. They don't understand
The hungry people thought. the
foreigners don't understand
Food shouted men In the out
lying boats. Some old woman had
the sack in her arms. Others
snatched for 1t, climbing over into
her sampan.
The sampan began to sink. Mrs
Lindbergh said, and the doctor
leaped to another. Finally the
doctor shouted to the crowd:
Take me back. There Is q larger
sack In the plane"

she continued. I'm the meantime
the two men left in the plane were
trying to keep off a pressing mob.
Heavy sampans knocked against
the pontoons. People chung to the
wings and tail surfaces. A man
was half way out Of his boat in an
effort to come on board. with
the doctors return there was a
general surge toward the plane,
men leaping from boat to boat,
topping over each other in their
efforts to get nearer.
The Chinese doctor shouted out
that the engine would be started
and all would be killed IL they
didn't get back.

the late Speaker Mick 'Longworth
| of Ohio were living. he might rub
his eyes and look twive at his old
crony and successor, the present
speaker, John Nance Garner of
Texas.
The rugged ranchman has not
exactly succeeded Longworth as the
best dressed man In the house, but
he has brushed up considerably
since the papers began to talk
about him as a possible presidential
candidate.
In the past few weeks an &C.
tually DISTINGUISHED look has come
about In the man who formerly
paid little attention to such things
as clothes and how he wore them.
He now affects wing collar. keeps
his white notwithstanding set
ting off his rudy complexion
closely cropped, and wears a suit
OF fine texture. 1t Is always care
fully brushed and carries not the
slightest trace of the familiar bag
one sees about the knees OF many
congressman.
There is nothing of the dandy
about Garner. He looks somewhat
the western congressman OF the
novels.
And the som bero that sits jaun-
tily athwart his bushy white eye
brows contributes much to this I'M
preston.
He's still the democratic and
gruffly affable Garner. though. The
homely, quaint language that sums
up q situation wildly still Is Is his.
He can't use 1t now much from
the chair.
He rulcs the house with hand
even more firm than that of Long
worth, and enjoys occasional refer
ences to his mastery from the
floor, He grinned and blushed
when one of his democratic col
leagues, the long haired Rep Edgar
Howard of Nebraska, one-time Sec
rotary of William Jennings Bryan,
twitted him for invoking the most
drastic procedure-"gag rule
Howard called ito jam the
Glass-Steagall federal reserve bill
through the house in three hours
without opportunity for amend
ment.
Howard told the house that he
knew "our magnificent speaker"
could not have been responsible for
such procedure for had he not told
him, when republicans resorted to
the steam roller. that II the demo-
Gratis ever came into power there
would be no such methods en-
employed. Garner enjoyed the joke
immensely.
Every day or two, some member
reminds the house that Garner is a
democratic presidential prospect.
The trophies and knick-knacks
that flow in upon those in high
place are beginning to clutter up
his office--and Texas Friends have
got out an automobile tag, brill
liant yellow, that bears the in
scription:
Garner for President"
