Should Be
Treasured
Letter Admonishes
Children to Make
Most of Youth.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

DEAR CHILDREN: 1t is great to be
a child, great to be young. You
have your troubles. know, and they
are hard to bear, but you have that
priceless gift-youth. You are that
wonderful bit Of creation, a child. I
don't expect you to understand that,
but hope that you will accept your
childhood, that you will not try to
be grown up in dress and diet and
habits and manners 1t does not
work out well.
You have this one chance to be
child. Take 1t gladly and be a good
child, not an imitation man or woman.
I see lovely young girls whose skins
are like silky flower petals, the envy
OF older women, plastering their faces
with this and that. 1t does not make
them lovely. 1t spoils the beauty that
their youth gives them, the one real
beauty they can ever possess. Their
skins will fade and coarsen in time;
then they may need all those things
that come In boxes and bottles. Ger
tainly they do not need them now.
They are silly enough to trade their
youthful loveliness for something that
makes them look like cheap imitators
of something foreign to themselves.
hear boys complaining because
their fathers and mothers have the
good sense to say that they cannot
drive cars, that they cannot 60 out
evenings while they are attending
schools. Everybody else does it. I
don't see why I have to stick in the
house and go to bed like kid"
Those boys are children. They are
growing bodies and minds so that
some day they can be men. Men are
able to carry their own responsibilities
and pay their own way. They learned
how by serving an apprenticeship to
life as good boys. A boy ought to be
. boy and be glad of it. Initiating
men gets boys nowhere except into
trouble. An imitation is never much
good. Placed beside the real thing it
looks cheap and shoddy, and It Is.
Children, accept your childhood and
youth. Enjoy it. Do the work, wear
the clothes, use the manners Of child
hood and youth because they belong
to you. Be thoroughbred child. You
can have more fun and much greater
happiness in that way.
Cigarettes are not good for you.
Strong drink and late hours are not
for you either. You are In training
to be somebody. Instead of COM
planning about the discipline, the re-
strictions that are placed upon you,
accept them as marks of the loving
care your father and mother are Of
fering you. Just remember that they
were like you . few years back and
they know how you feel. They know
too many things that are hidden from
you even when they happen in your
sight. Experience is the eye of the
mind. and you have not lived long
enough to gather enough experience
to help you to stand alone in q
strange world.
Be proud Of your family back
ground. It is q privilege to have a
home, a family behind you. 1t is
privilege to be protected and loved
and reared as . child should be. It
Is your privilege to have such love
and protection. Give thanks and &C
cept it. Your childhood soon passes.
Enjoy it as much as you can. Leave
the grown-ups their toys and stick
to your own that suit you 80 much
better.
AfIectionately, ANGELO PATRI.

Summer garden. With q few hours
of bulb potting in November, the other

additional color and interest and are
very easy to raise The delicate scent
Of narcissus and hyacinth is always
soothing and restful-and what could
be more cheering than an interesting

~ EAR MISS DIX nave Deen
married 16 years. My hus-
band has just one affair after
~ another with women, but
when I tell him I do not want to
stand in the way Of his happiness and
that I will gladly give him his free
dom If he wants to marry one Of
these women, he begs me not to get
a divorce.
Says that he does not want me to
leave him and that am the only one
whom he loves, and that he would not
want to live If it we're not for me. He
treats me with the utmost considera-
ton and kindness. shows me all kinds
Of affection, yet he Is unfaithful to me.
I cannot understand the contradiction.
What would you advise me to do in
this case? AS far as money Is con-
cerned, can take care Of myself, SO
that does not have to be considered.
In spite of all that he has done love
my husband with all my heart and
soul, but the worry over him is break
ing me down physically. However I
am trying to keep that from him for
fear he might stay with me out Of pity,
and that do not want.
MRS BROKENHEARTED.
Answer: For some women who are
afflicted with unfaithful husbands,
divorce is like a major surgical opera
ton that cures. 1t cuts away the canker
in their lives, and when they are no
longer tortured by the pangs of jeal-
ousy that gnawed at their hearts, they
are well. They can put the past behind
them. Forget the husbands who have
neglected them and be gay and happy,
and perhaps find solace in another
husband.
But there are other women to whom
divorce is death. They do not sur
vive the operation. They have no lives
outside their husbands and if they
separate from them they are the most
forlorn, miserable, purposeless crea-
lures in the world.
think that you belong to this latter
type of one-man woman and that you
will be happier with your husband.
putting up with his infldelities, con-
doning his neglect, enduring the shame
he puts upon you. than you would be
If you left him. AS it is you see him
daily, you have part in his life. you
have the interest of making a home
for him and you are not so lonely as
you would be If you went away and
never even heard from him.
OF COURSE, he doesn't deserve that
you should love him after the way
he treats you. nor that you should
bear with him and forgive his sins
against you. but the love of a wife for
an erring husband has nothing to do
with justice. 1t gets to be the divine
pity that mother has for her child
who is a weakling
Your husband does not want a
divorce. He does not want to marry
any one of the women after whom he
chases. He tells you that he still loves
you and that you are the only woman
in the world to him. No wonder you

And Ethics
Considered
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: When taking
~ several other women to lunch,
how can I show courtesy to them? At
home, of course, I would not have
myself served first, but what can !
do in q restaurant If the waiter in
sists on passing everything to me first?
Answer: Tell him, please serve me
last" or "Give that to this lady next
to me-" or else let him put it down
and then give the plate yourself to
the guest on your right and the next
one to the guest on your left.
Dear Mrs. Post: We would like to
call in q certain doctor to help with
nv husbands illness. but We don't
want to hurt our own family doctor,
who has been very kind to us. How
can we 60 about it?
Answer: You should ask your own
doctor to call In DR.. Eminent for con-
sultation with him. It Is always
proper to tell your own doctor that
YOU would like the advice Of . spe-
cialist. But it would be very unethical
to send for the specialist yourself.
In fact, it would really be dismissal
of your own doctor.

Dear Mrs. Post: My niece came to
live with me recently in order to
study, and her mother put her in my
charge, as she Is only 20. She be-
haved very badly indeed. and I felt
moved to take q hand when she
packed her things and moved to the
same house at which her fiance (who
ha.: meanwhile come to work in our
town. had Q room. She argued that
our house was too inconveniently
located and she was going to live
where John lives. I could do nothing
with her and finally called an officer
COT the law) to intercede for me. And
then, after that, I took her home.
NV sister-her mother-has taken her
part instead Of upholding me In my
attitude. Her mother claimed that

the darker colors leave damaging
marks-little children who kneel on
the seat to look out of the window, are
frequent offenders. For spots from
white polish, it is best to let the mark
dry, and then brush vigorously.
Usually this is all that is necessary,
but if the spot seems persistent,
moisten 1t with cold water, allow 1t
to dry and repeat the brushing. Car
bon tetrachloride Is recommended for
the black and tan pohshes, as they

 It was expected that Works Progress Administrators Matthew A. Daily will confer with school su- perintendents relative to the estab- lishment of the projects within the next two weeks.
 PersOnnels Reduced
 Unemployment in the teaching profession has reached serious pro- portions in recent years in spite of higher qualifications for certificates required by the state board of edu- cation. Graduates from the normal schools and the teachers colleges are finding it increasingly difficult each year to obtain employment. In practically every community in Connecticut during the past few years, the teaching personnel has been reduced, in some cases for economic reasons and in others, such as Waterbury, because of a decline in student enrolment.
 From Novem Der, 1888 to Novem- Der, 1884, the local school person. nel has been reduced by 24. Twen- two-two teaching position have been wholly eliminated, although admission of Oronoke and East Mountain to the second district automatically increased the teach ing staff by four, making a net reduction of IS. During a period of little more than two years day school personnel in the local schools has been reduced by more than 50, While no teacher was ca tualiy discharged, vacancies in the various schools were allowed to re- main thrilled as they occurred.

 It is assumed that teachers now on the large waiting list here will be eligible for posts on the fac- ulties of the proposed schools in the event that the project receives approval.

VACATION WATER
 CHECK IS URGED
State Advises All tO Check Supplies and Not Accept
 Purity for Granted

With the vacation season under way, Connecticut water supply utilities to-day issued a word of warning to Connecticut people to be sure to check on the purity of the water supply at whatever va cation spot they may select for their relaxation and recreation. This important health feature is frequently neglected due to the fact that most people are so accus- toned to using pure water from the public systems that they take the purity of all water for granted.
 The public water supply systems in Connecticut are protected against pollution by disease carry. ing germs by a fortress of safe- guards which makes contamina- tion impossible unless all fortifi- cations should collapse at once. Protection begins miles from the reservoirs from which the supply Is drawn, on the outer boundaries of the watersheds, which are peri odically inspected by utility offi- cials, and by state and local health authorities to make sure that no source of pollution may develop. Tributary streams of the reservoirs are protected. No trespassing is permitted on the lands immediate ly surrounding the reservoirs. The water is checked periodically by meteorological and chemical anal yses, and chemical treatment is administered if disease carrying organisms are discovered. In nearly all cases, the water as a final safeguard Is either filtered or chlorinated or both before being released through the mains for public consumption. Even if al; other methods failed, chiorination would spell death to all dangerous bacteria.
 The water supplies at many va- cation points, including resorts, camps, overnight places along the highways and others, stand in di- rect contrast. The drinking water supply may come from unprotect- ed surface water subject to drain- age from sources of pollution. It may come from wells or springs, likewise subject to improper drain- age and frequently not protected by covers against dust and dirt. This Is particularly true of road side water supplies of which there are not more than a dozen or 50 safe ones in the state. Motorists should refrain from drinking from roadside wells and springs unless they are posted as safe by the State Department of Health.
 For campers and picnickers, the water companies point out, the safest method of protection is to boil all water before drinking un. less it can be definitely ascertained
