ment hasn't worked out as we'll
as we expected, as mother is
nervous and easily upset by the
children. She thinks she is too
old to work as hard in the
house as she does, and blames
my husband for not making enough
so that 1 can stay home and help
her. 1 have hard job downtown
but when I get home I can't rest.
There are a thousand things to do
that mother leaves for me. The
children are full of complaints
about their school work and their
grandmother, and my husband puts
on his hat and walks out to find
peace. The worst of it is that my
health is beginning to lail. I can't
sleep at night and il affects my
work in the daytime. I have bad
case Of nerves from overWork and
the doctor says I'm headed for a
nervous breakdown. Have you any,
thing to suggest? JITTERS.
AnsWer-A nervous breakdown
often is blamed on overwork but
such a diagnosis seldom is correct.
The collapse may come from bad
planning of work. AS in your case,
when concentration on work crowds
out the other major satisfactions
OF life. illness may follow, but it is
not the work itself so much as
lack Of balance that causes an up
set.
Nobody consciously plans to
have a nervous breakdown. Never
theless, if you study the situation,
you will find that the breakdown
is the attempt of the body to solve
a situation which the intelligence
has failed to conquer. 1t consti-
tutes a sort of psychological re-
treat from tough reality and gives
the individual an excuse to fail.
In Japan when a general loses a
battle he commits suicide in the an
Gent rite of hara-kiri to avoid the
loss Of face. A nervous breakdown
is not this drastic but it serves the
same purpose. An individual, de-
feated in the battle for existence,
saves his face by illness. If you
can't sleep at night nobody can
blame you for not doing good work
in the daytime. You haven't the
courage to tell your selfish family
that they aren't carrying their share
of the load, but you can get sick
and force them to consider you.
The first thing for you to do is
view the situation with clear eyes
and see this psychological strategy
behind your encroaching illness.
Then make up your mind that you
can reach the same objective by
more direct and less destructive
methods. The nervous breakdown
is defense measure adopted by
an Overburdened personality, but
it isn't worth the effort required
to keep it up. 1t takes much less
energy in the long run and less
toll out of human happiness and
health to fight your problems out
on a common sense basis.
l can not tell you exactly how to
rearrange your life so that a nerv-
Gus collapse will not be necessary
to control your unco-operative
family, but I do know that if each
one of your leaners would carry his
share of the responsibility instead
of dumping it on you, illness would
not be necessary for your self-pro-
lection.

Add / tablespoon of vinegar and
then add u teaspoon of sour cream

I urge those of you who shuddet
at the thought of sour cream in
cookery to try it first hot, such as
the above recipe for fish. More
conversions are made to the cause
of sour cream by eating it in dishes
in which it appears as hot sauce
than any other way. Once you
have had it, / am absolutely con-
yinced you'll always enjoy it.

ANTITRUST BILL
BEFORE PRESIDENT
Congress Completes Meas.
ure Designed to Prevent
Discrimination.
Ry the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt had before him
today measure passed by Congress
to protect the independent merchant
from price advantages allowed large
competitors.
Congressional action was completed
last night when the Senate agreed to
conference report. already approved
by the House, on the Robinson-Pat
man bill to tighten the antitrust
laws.
Primarily, the bill Is designed to
prevent unfair price determinations
through the use of fake discounts and
rebates for services not actually per-
formed.
More important, 1t would permit
the Federal Trade Commission to fix
the point beyond which discounts for
quantity purchases could not 60
The commission would be instructed
to prevent discounts for purchases so
large that competitors would be un-
able to match them, thus creating
monopoly.
The basis Of the bill were measures
introduced early In the session by
Senator Robinson. Democrat, of
Arkansas, and Representative Pat
man, Democrat, of Texas. To it,
however, was attached the Borah-Van
Nuys bill, embodying some Of the
anti-monopoly theories which Sem
ator Borah of Idaho advanced to the
Republican Platform Committee In
Cleveland.
The Borah-Van Nuys amendment
would not rely alone on the Federal
Trade Commission, but would permit
prosecution of violators in the Fed
eral courts, with penalties Of q 5000
flne or one year in Jail.
A business man. feeling he had been
the victim of unfair price discrimina-
ton, would be able to take his case
into Federal Court in his own State
instead of coming to Washington and
working through the Federal Trade
Commission.
Exemptions from the operation of
the law would be granted in the
handling of perishable foods and in
other emergencies.

Democratic Advance Guard

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-F1ag.
draped Philadelphia extended the
hand Of welcome to the advance guard
OF Democrats today while speculation
over the platform to be adopted BY
the party's national convention next
week intensified.
Leaders of the New Deal were
closeted in Washington, drawing ur
suggested statements CT policy on such
controversial issues as farm aid
money and relief.
There was no authoritative indica-
ton as to the planks to be submitted
on some Of these issues. but word from
the Capital said Secretary Wallace
may seek to have the conventions
Resolutions Committee approve . farm
plank embracing four features.
The plank would indorse:
The present A. A. A. soil conserva-
ton program with subsidy payments
to farmers.
The principle of crop production
control within constitutional limits.
The present reciprocal trade agree
ment policy.
Some plan for commodity loans to
farmers.
Leaders Are Doubtful.
The question In the minds Of some
administration leaders, 1t was re-
ported, Is whether the Resolutions
Committee will approve the sugges-
tions advanced by Wallace and his
aides.
This question was raised, It was
said, because some leading Democratic
members Of Congress have opposed
crop control and other A. A. A. meas
ures.
Wallace Is expected to arrive here
Monday for conferences with party
leaders.
While the four principal features
were expected to comprise the bulk
Of the administrations farm plank
suggestions. 1t was indicated that aid
to cooperative associations also
would be suggested. The plank also
Is expected to urge continued research
into industrial uses for farm products.

main streets with his eyes on the
pavement, seeing nobody.
Independence was torn wide open
by two factions. According to the
popular story it started when the
wives Of two leading bankers, close
personal friends. many years ago
went to Europe together. In Paris
they fell out over the pronunciation
Of q French word and returned sep
arately. The town split along a di-
vision that went all the way through
its financial as well as its social rela-
tionShips. Landon thought the
whole thing was ridiculous and said
50.
He took moderate activity in civic
affairs, was director of the Cham
ber of Commerce and held offices in
other organizations but he seldom
went to meetings except when some
thing important was to be decided.
After his mother died, ALI and his
father gave a memorial organ to the
new First Methodist Church. Those
who knew the family best said 1t was
gift entirely for her sake-they
knew she would have been delighted
to make such a contribution. Neither
ALI nor his father could have been
called "a pillar of the church"
Known as "Man in Boots"
ALI became known to a large part Of
Kansas and Oklahoma as q man
in boots. khaki trousers, leather
jacket and a greasy hat. Whenever
he spent the night in a farm house
he visited with the family, growing
into the easy way of getting along
with people that one day would put
him in the Kansas State house.
His courtship of Miss Margaret
Fleming, whom he met one Summer
at Lake Chautauqua, N. Y, was the
beginning of a few happy years
which were to end in tragedy. They
were married in 1915 and settled down
in Independence to the easy home
life Landon always had wanted. Their
daughter Peggy Ann was born in
1917. In 1918 Margaret Fleming
Landon died.
ALI Landon seldom speaks of that
period. A few weeks after his wife's
death he left his baby daughter with
housekeeper and went into the
Army as a first lieutenant in the
Chemical Warfare Service. He was
stationed at Lakehurst, N. j., until his
discharge after the armistice.
From all appearance after Landon's
return to the oil business he would
spend his life as a smart, hard work
ing business man, with q constant
curiosity about many subjects unre-
lated to oil and liking for ideas and
books. A little too serious, perhaps,
but good companion.
As member Of the liberal group in
the party he and his father were both
on the Roosevelt side in the Bull

him to the oil fields, much as her
father had lived as a child in Ohio.
Because he wanted his daughter to
enjoy some Of the delights Of his own
childhood he spent evenings reading
to her, especially historical novels
Peggy Ann would have much preferred
a picture show. AS she grew older
she and her father increased their
companionship, leading to the future
time when she would be his principal
driver while he campaigned over
Kansas.
The Landon life seemed very set
tied. 1t was fairly satisfactory
household that lived well and al
ways set q good table. One of ALI
Landon's strongest preferences in
food was a powerful cheese, called
Pennsylvania stink cheese" which he
advocated above limburger or any
thing else. His daughter remembers
particularly a week when he was in a
bad humor because some kind of odor,
probably gas, was escaping into his
office. He was properly sheepish when
q little package Of the Pennsylvania
cheese was discovered in Q lower
drawer OF his desk.
Landon tended to his own business,
shouted over the telephone when he
lost his temper. got along well with
the men who worked for him, and
seemed to have good time generally.
People unconsciously called him "Alf"
and, without thinking much about 1t,
he found the shortened term more
easy to sign and convenient to use.
What neither Landon nor his
friends realized at that time was his
capacity for growth. AS he turned 40,
an age when most men think their
habits are definitely settled, he was
not distinguished for much besides
consistently meeting his pay roll on
time and producing results for himself
and his associates.
