SHE ASKS, WHAT NEXT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"We're still in the 2O's, and
have been married five years. We
have a little daughter not yet 2.
My problem is loneliness. When
my husband is not working, and
he has a very good job, he is
away amusing himself with out.
Of-dOOr sports. 1 have tried to
interest myself in various things,
but they all seem so futile. /
have no mother, no one but my
baby, and 1 guess I'm hungry
for love.
"My husbands idea is, as long
as he pays the rent and buys
the food, he's doing his duty and
1 should be satisfied. He's very
close, and will not consent to
have someone care for the baby,
So that could go out and get
little change of scene. 1 have
begged him to take me with him
sometimes, but he always refuses.
How can 1 go on living with
man who is not affectiOnate,
hardly ever speaks to me, and
doesn't seem to care. He claims
these things are natural to him.
If 1 got his permission, would it
be proper to go out with an
escort?
LONELY AND PERPLEXED." &"
Husbands, such as you describe
yours to be, are as blind as the
mendicantS We meet on street
corners, bearing cards calling at
tention to that affliction.
If these men, who think their
whole duty is done when they
pay the rent and buy the food,
suddenly find their homes crash
ing about their ears, they are
filled with amazement and self
pity that their wives could have
been so indifferent to their bless
ings.
Women marry for love and
comradeship, not to watch a hus-
bands coattails vanish through
the door every time he has holi-
day. And the excuse that it's "his
nature" to be glum and indiffer-
ent, is a pretty poor one.
Your letter was well-expressed
and intelligent. Many women in
your position would be glad to
have your educational equipment.
Can't you turn this to some inter
esting and profitable account?
How about taking up a cores
pondence course? Do you belong
to a church, which supports an
organization of big Sisters" And
how about your neighbors? If
they're the right sort. you might
find your burdens lighter as the
result of a friendly get-together.
Don't be static. Make friends.
If you shut yourself up with your
loneliness, you will become morbid.
That is bad medicine.
There is always danger, for a
woman in your position, in going
out with an escort. From the
number of letters which have come
to this column, sometimes hus-
bands take that way of getting rid
of wives. And. all said and done,
your first duEy Is toward your
baby. Have courage-lotS of it.

WIFE BEATER
GETS 10 YEARS

RICHMOND, Va, May 11.-Cor-
bin Spike" Dean, IS, former Elk
ton special officer, was sentenced
to 10 years in the penitentiary by
Judge H. w. Bertram after a
Rockingham circuit court jury at
Harrisonburg, Va, found him
guilty Of malicious assault for try
ing to burn and severely beating
his wife.
Dean claimed he was craZed by
drinking "moonshine" and did not
remember anything after he got
into an argument with his wife
and slapped her. Mrs. Beatrice
Dean, the mother Of six children,
and expecting another, testified
against her husband.
Mrs. Dean testified her husband
tied her hands and feet and at
tempted to set a fire under her
on the floor. This failed and he
backed her against heated stove,
causing large burn on her back,
she said. Her face was beaten, a
shoulder was dislocated and an
arm broken when Dean hit the
woman with a chair. Her eyes
were closed by blows of his fists.
Dean was in the at of strik-
ing his wife with a hammer, it
was testified, when a neighbor
called to him and told him police
were on their way. He united
the woman and then went to sleep.
Mrs. Dean managed to make her
way to a physician, walking and
crawling a half-mile. She then
was rushed to a hospital at Har-
riSonburg where her condition
was critical for several days. Mrs.
? Dean and her children are now
being cared for at the Rocking.

ARLINGTON'S
SCHOOL BONDS
FACE FIGHT

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE.
Va. May 11.-Bitter opposition to
the proposed $250,0"C school bond
issue to be voted on tomorrow
throughout the county will be
evident at each Of the 10 pre-
ctncts in the county.
Approximately 5000 qualified
voters are expected at the polls.
Arlington county's accredited
rating high school will be at stake
in this election. School officials
here have been warned that I'm.
less the present congested con-
dition in the county's one high
school-Wa shin ct nice High
Schools relieved by october Of
the coming term that its high
school will not be clasSed as an
accredited school.
Last Minute Opposition
Opposition to the bond issue
started only two days ago when
members Of the Arlington County
Building Trades Club announced
their intention to fight the move.
This is because the school
board refused to incorporate q pro-
vision in its specifications for bids
which would force the successful
bidder to use strictly local. labor
on the project, and pay this la
Dor at a wage scale to be eStab-
lished by the school board.
The school board refused be.
cause it was pointed out, it would
increase the cost of the project
to such an extent that the $780,
600 would only be sufficient to
erect the building, leaving no
funds for the grounds, or for the
equipment necessary for the
building.
Last minute plans to conduct
its countrywide fight against the
issue will be laid by the trade
body at q special session tonight.
In the meantime, 70 members Of
the club started circulating litera-
ture throughout the county in
forming the voters that the school
board had refused to limit labor
on the project to local employees.
Members Of the trade body con-
tend that there are some 500 Ia
borerS in Arlington county now I'm.
employed, and that more than 100
OF these are skilled laborerS.
1,OO0 Sign
More than 1000 persons affixed
their signatures to the petitions
asking the school board to use
local labor and adopt q wage
scale.
Contending that the taxpayers
Of the county will ultimately pay
for the bond issue through taxa
ton, the petition for local labor
and O wage scale declared that
the taxpayers Of the county were
entitled to this consideration from
the school board.

But soap sculpture is her hobby
and that takes q lot Of her time.
Ever since she was q very small
