YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
3Isss ~ MEA assy!ss INC:

You may have heard the radio address of E. A. Hungerford. au- thor of the Budget Book of the na- tional thrift committee.
 Recently the printed address was sent to me and I am so inter ested that l consider 1t well worth while to quote 8 few of his para graphs again here.
 His address is entitled, Should Parents Put Their Children Through Marriage"
 Many parents have so planned their finances over period of years" says MT Hungerford. 'as to insure their offspring good education. They think 1t Is a duty which right minded heads of fam ilics should perform even at con siderable sacrifice. But such pro- cedure is not enough. It i5 even more important for parents 10 plan their finances long time ahead so they can help their chii- drcn through their first years of marriage experience.
 ". To put a boy or girl through college and consider the money cooperation ended Is to leave human life fiat at n point of greatest need. And what is this point of greatest need? It Is mar riage. Even for young people to be required to walt on marriage until the usual age of college grad nation puts n strain on human na- ture which it was never intended to stand. All sorts of complica- tions grow out of such delay. Such situation Is bad enough anC should be remediled. But that is another story.
 Children are handed college diplomas and something is said about their getting out into the cold. cold world. Well, 1t is q frigid environment in which they find themselves. Business or the professions say to these men, You arc only kid. really Your first year with Us will be a total loss. practically, as far as we are con eerncd. Perhaps by the second or third year you may begin to do us some good. We will take you on i and 50 on and so forth
 Parents say to these same young men. Well. that's that. You have your education and 1t has cost us plenty. We are just about broke so you can hardly ex- pect more help from us. We've got to save up now for q rainy day Best wishes for q lot of success.
 Girls in the main find them. selves in the same fix
 Mir Hungerford goes on to dis cuss the Encouragement of the young people. the impossibility of marriage or the complexes and misery growing outof Il marriage where there can be no real home. no children, or where both must work.
 1t Is n big problem and he dis cusses 1t fully. l wish l could put it all down here.

The week passed more quickly than Ruth had dared to think that It would. Her Identity was care fully shielded. She was glad when the last note of the last song died away. Then she remembered that now she wouldn't have the ex- hilaration of the night perform ances to take her mind from her. self. It would be worse, much worse. than the week that was ending.
 Her family had made no effort to communicate with her. A box of her things had come, though. Sally had sent her the lamp. the etchings, tea set. some spoons, her books. quito as though she wanted Ruth 10 know that she w.-s being banished entirely. Ruth welcomed the treasures. She ap- preciated their coming, although sine knew Sally had not sent them In kindly spirit. She found ma terial for cushions--Chinese red and black and ivory in q heavy silk--and made the covers for the pillows she bought. She purchased q gay lamp.

Then she tore 1t again. But after that she got out some heavy paper and mucilage and pasted the pieces together. She couldn't quite make the face look natural. It had whimsical one-side effect, as though the boy in the picture laughed at her.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-16

A home done today in the style of the Victorian era may use the tidles and antimacassars of the earlier period but 1t uses them with a difference. The flower prints of those days are still good but they are not hung with reck- less abandon all over the walls. Rather they follow symmetrical arrangements. The floors are car peted as they were in those days. but manufactured cushioning takes the place of the straw or newspaper which used to go under them. The vacuum cleaner ob- viates the annual spring taking up of carpets. The window sill may hold flowers but it chooses those with pleasing silhouette rather than those which grow in bushy sashion up and down and all a. round.
 Swags may be used in curtains but the materials are simpler and better.

 TOUAY: CAB GALLOWAY ON

A screen picture that is packed with thrills exceeds "Dracula" in it's strangeness and blood chilling sequences closes tonight at Warm ers State theater. Murders in the Rue Morgue" Is the picture which presents in its featured roles Sid- ney Fox. charming little New York ytage player. who has lately become n favorite of the screen. and Bella Lugosj who played the title role of "Dracula' on both stage and screen.
 Murders in the Rue Morgue" was adapted from the thrilling story by Edgar Allan Poe. and presents Lugosi as tho owner of gigantic ape, the blood of which he is striving to introduce into the veins of living woman. It Is when the half-made scientist chooses as his victim n girl impersonated by Miss Fox that the picture becomes q drama of terrific tenseness. com plicated by strangely human ob- session suddenly acquired by the powerful ape.
 In addition to Lugosi and Mss Fox, the cast of Murders in tho Rue Morgue" includes Leon Way coff, Bert Roach. Brandon Hurst, Noble Johnson and Darcy Corri- gan.
 An excellent surrounding pro gram includes Cab Galloway and his famous Cotton Club band in featurette Minnie the Moocher."
