Az a bizonyos ''yardstick' .

Ugy harom evvel ezel6tt
Franklin D. Roosevelt, a de-
mokrata part elnokjeloltje Salt
Lake City-ben .egy erdekes XII
jelentest tett, amit akkor mem
tartottak nagyon fontosnak az
ujsagok.
AIT mondta, hogy ha esetleg
megvalasztjak, "yardstick"- "-eket
fog felallitani az orszagban, a
melyekkel megmeri, hogy meny-
nyiert lehet a villanyt csinalni
es amelyek rakenyszeritik maid
villanytrusztot, hogy becsiiletes
r6ffel merjen maid a villanyfo-
gyaszt6knak.
Amig a villanytrusztokat senki
mem haborgatta, addig a sajat
hamis rofjeikkel mertek es bar

gok minden allamban. azok a
bizottsagok es azoknak a tagjai
a szemeiket mindig hajlandok
voltak behunyni.
Es ha mar itt-ott egy-egy BIZ
zottsagi tag megis megsokalta a
kozszolgalati vallala1ok rablasat
es alacsonyabb ratakat akart ell
rendelni, a villany, gag es tele-
fon trusztok a birosagokhoz for
dultak. A torvenyszekek utvesz-
t6it jartak ot-tiz evig. amig a
kellemetlenkedo biztos eltavolit-
tatott a helyerol.
Es nem volt sem szovetseg-
mex, sem az allamoknak rofrud-

trusztok ratajat ahhoz merjek.
ltt-ott egy-egy kisebb varos
csinalt villanyt es neha szenza-

mint ahogy AIT az atlagos pol

Mert nemcsak akkor fizetunk

Beauty
Keep the Body
Supple
BY DONNA GRACE


1t is getting on in the sum-
mer to talk about swimming
but we we're just wondering
what the average person
thought about learning to swim
this summer.
We have just been reading an
article on swimming, in which
the author tells us it is diff
cult to be an expert swimmer
unless one begins about the age
of six or seven, and that no
grown-up ever learns to dive
Well-aS he says "You certainly
can't be a crack diver unless
you begin young"
There is to be sure, a great
advantage in beginning young,
no matter what we are learn
ing, but we see no reason why
an adult cannot learn to be an
expert swimmer-and as for
diving, any adult who can over
come fear can learn to dive.
An adult can even be what
he calls a crack diver if the
body is kept 1.-the and supple,
and that is just what the
grown-up is doing nowadays.
We know the benefit of keep
ing fit, and there are very few
of the really smart men and
women who will neglect their
exercises and diets and permit
themselves to become slow and
stiff.
We know a woman who has
a whole string of medals taken
in diving contests, who never
even tried to swim or dive until
she was 80 years old. She just
went in a class with a good in
structor and took it up as one
does any other sport. She tried
to have at least two lessons a
week and spent some time in
practice whenever possible.
Inside of six months she was
diving we'll enough for contest
and exhibition bouts-but of
course she improved a great
deal with continuous practice,
so that during her second year
she was doing all of the intri-
cate, fancy dives with ease.
She dove from a 20-foot board
occasionally, but only as stunt.
The regulation 1O-foot board is
the best for all dives, as it is
a safe height and does not call
for to great a strain on the
muscles or the breathing.
You have plenty of time to
learn to swim before the season
closes, but go to a pool for one
or two lessons just to start right
and give you confidence.

Whose Business?

"Now, my mother wants this
boy to let me alone. She says
/ must think of marriage, and
not let any boy make love to
me unless he's the marrying
kind-Saturday pay envelope,
life in a bungalow and all that.
$50 mother and 1 have fear
full quarrelS. / simply won't
deny my youth and give up love.
Probably I shall never marry.
I'm not that sort. Whose bust.
mes is it but mine?"
My heart aches for both Elsie
and her mother. Elsie knows
that her love is real. The
mother knows that her facts
are right.
In her moment of glorious re.
bellion, this girl believes that
she is different from all other
women. Her mother and the
rest of us experienced grown.
ups know that she can be moth
ing of the sort, but that in a
few years more the age-old de-
sire for a mate and a home
and a baby at her breast will
grip her, as it has gripped every
true woman since the time Of
Eve.
1t is danger, therefore. for a
girl-particularly if she has an
ardent temperament, as I think
Elsie has-to waste her youth
on a romance that cannot bring
her lasting happiness, and that
is pretty sure to cause her suf-
ferinC.

Hard For Both

Suppose, for instance. that in
some way another girl should
project herself into this intel
lectual love affair. It might
take Elsie about five minutes to
understand all the celebrated
pangs of jealousy, and possibly
"a hours to decide that she
wanted to marry the boy and
establish her right to him. But
that couldn't be done. Tears,
separation, heartbreak.

Etiquette
The Weddin6
Present
ByMRs.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have received an invitation
to a wedding, and 1 do not know
whether this means that gift
is expected. 1 know the groom
fairly well, but 1 have only met
the bride q few times.
"What do you think-shOuld
I send a gift under these circum-
stances? READER"
Receiving an invitation or an
announcement to a wedding
does not mean buying a present.
One sends-or should send-a
wedding present for the same
reason that one sends any other
kind of present; because one
wishes to send it.
If one is fond of the bride,
or if one is a relation of the
bride or groom, or if one is a
close friend of the family of
either the bride or groom, it is
probable that one would wish
to send a wedding present to the
bride. The gift that one sends,
large or small, depends on ones
means.
The spirit of a wedding present
is the wish that the giver has
to be represented in some way
in the building of the new home.
This spirit should be kept as
high and fine as possible. and
each giver should help to pre-.
serve this spirit.
The bride of good breeding
and good taste would hate gifts
that are made because guests
who received invitations think
that the invitation "calls for"
a gift.

Knit Frocks

All day long we can live in
the lovely new knit frocks now

is a slim two-piece in two shades
of gray in chevron weave yarn.
Black Soutache braid stripes on
collar, cuffs and belt and hand
made frogs of the braid give the
dress a smart, new look.
The Washington times., 1935-08-30
Coats Are Practical

Yoke bodices. perhaps with
the yoke sheer, are nice for
weddings, as are draped neck
lines and many other new fash
ion features. There will be
many gowns that are usable
afterwards for instance,
lace dress with a satin coat, the
train on the coat, or the fabrics
reversed.
The coat idea for bridal gowns
is not new, but it is very prac-
tical. You can wear the gown
with the coat for dramatic occa-
sions, but take off the coat and
have a formal gown for dane
ing minus the train. Some
brides use the coat as hostess
gown later, too.

RUNS AFTER HIM
"Dear Miss Fairfax:


I'm a young happily mar.
ried man, and would like to
get your advice about shaking
a girl who persists in running
after me. We met in one Of
the Government departments
where we both worked in the
same division for two years.
"She was a drinker, a smoker
and a peter, but she wouldn't
do for a permanent date, SO I
married the quiet girl who
hadn't any Of these up-tO-date
tricks.
my former girl friend gets
no encouragement from me,
but she constantly calls me on
the telephone, and / am afraid
she'll make trouble. BILL"
I wonder if you're not ex-
periencing just a dash of "the
way of the transgresSor," my
dear Bill. You must have given
that gay young lady consider
able encouragement since she
declines to drop you. even
though the wedding bells have
rung.
Let me remind you, however.
that, like the constant dropping
of water which will wear away
a rock, studied indifference will
discourage the most reSolute
pursuit. At the same time I'm
inclined to ask, "IS there any
actual reason for this girl to
persist in stalking you?"
The Washington times., 1935-08-30

Fun to make, every inch of
lt-and yet this colorful wall
hanging is the sort of thing
often handed down as an heir
loom-a thing of beauty to be
kept forever! 1t requires only
the easiest embroidery stitches,
mainly single and running
stitch with a touch of lazy
daisy and French knots in the
flowers. It's charming in
either silk or wool and you'll
enjoy working with all the
varied colorS. In itself, it
makes such a striking decora-
tion-it requires no framing.

Psychologist Analyses
AS my friend, DR.. Karl Men
ninger, says:
"The factors in the prOduc.
tiOn of maladjuStment in col
lege students are the same fact
Ors that are at work in other
problems. Their genesis is to
be sought partly in the ma
teriaI, but more largely in the
shaping of the material by the
environment in its most plastic
period. e., childhood. Least
important, although most con-
SpicuOus, are the structures and
stresses peculiar to the college
itself; but in the rigOr of the
requirements of that particular
life phase, plus the disturbances
in biological, social and psyche
logical economy that are taking
place at the same time, one
finds the precipitantS of numer-
Gus breaks and threatened
breaks"
The question as to whether
these problems are due to ply
sical causes, to structural or
physiological change in the or
ganiSm, is one that is frequently
debated. In my opinion, in most
cases, they are not.
In other words, I do not be-
lieve that by putting more cal
cium into child or changing
his ductless glands, you are 60
ing to adjust his school prob
lens or character.
A great deal is said about the
child's adjustment. and not
much about the teachers. In
my opinion over IS per cent Of
the trouble with children in
school can be laid to the door
of poor teaching. AS l look back
upon teachers have had, l
am afraid l have to deliver a
terrible indictment. Out OF
some so or IS, 1 can only re-
member three who were in any
way stimulating.
In this respect. the worst
teacher in the world is the
teacher of mathematics. I do
not see how it is possible for
any group of people to be so
completely incompetent as
teachers in mathematics.
