~ EAR MISS DIX am 20
years old. Have been mar
ried nearly q year to q
woman who is years older
that ! am and things are not going so
good. It seems that my wife and I
cannot agree on anything at all. My
wife had a little money, but didn't
have anything, not even q Job, 50
she bought o little business for US.
Everything went along all right until
business began to fall OF and my
wife had to draw money from the
bank to keep from losing the business.
Then she started raising cain with me
as II I could help it. Do you think
that her having to spend money on
taking care Of me Is the trouble? And
what is the best thing for me to do?
A BOY-HUSBAND.
Answer: Well, son, should think
the best thing for you TO do would
be to run back home to mamma and
wait until you grow up and get able
TO support q wife before you tackle
matrimony again. Maybe your present
wife will like you well enough TO want
to have you around when you are q
man and not O kid. One Of the rea-
sons you and your wife can't agree Is
because there Is too much disparity in
your ages. Six years difference be-.
tween a man and woman doesn't
matter much If they are both in their
30s and their tastes and ideas are
formed, but when the boy is in his
teens and the woman is in her middle
20s, 1t Is q different matter.
A WOMAN of 26 is as grown up
4 n as she will ever be. She Is mature.
But the boy Of 10 Is still child. He
is changing every day. He wants to
play. He isn't ready to settle down.
He is full of impractical plans and
ideas, and he is bound to get on the
nerves of mature woman. Only q
mother has the patience and under
standing to endure the vagaries Of
an adolescent boy.
Then, son, it ID strange thing, but
true, that there are very few happy
marriages In which the woman Is

Study Type
And Accent
Best Points
Noted Star of Stage
and Screen Gives
Suggestion.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

TIMELY advice from one who Ia
in position to give it-Peggy Wood,
outstanding screen and stage star. And
Miss Woods message is well worth
needing. Women, she says, should try
to look like idealized versions Of them
selves. Don't initiate. Accent your
own best points. Then you become a
personality, not carbon copy.
It's true. And while I am fully
aware that many Of you who know
something of this stars talents and
success will say, Fine for her, with
her ability as q singer. writer and
actress; fine for her who has such
beauty to say that'-my only answer
Is: Every woman has a charm all her
own that is worth cultivating. Then,
and only then, will she stand out as
delightfully."- different.
In everything you do, strive to be
an idealized version of yourself. Re-
member your type, and In dress and
manner, be true TO that type. Moth
ing looks sillier than for O big woman
to attempt to be kittenish, coy or to
dress in the fluffy ruffles that become
the petite type. And, by the same
token. the petite type makes a mistake
II she initiates the severe dress and
domineering manner of her big sister.
And 1t Is Just as much of q mistake
to initiate any personality, even If
she be the leading screen star, So
ciaiite or similar celebrity, If her per-
sonality happens to be foreign to your
particular makeup.
But, II you happen to be of similar
type and personality, then by oil
means reap the benefits of beauty
and style secrets cleaned from the
stars, particularly IL by doing so you
viii enhance your own, special charm.
You may be Miss Woods type and
interested in her beauty secrets.
First-her skin care, soap and water
and cold cream at night. Cold cream
again In the morning. And On occa.
sional egg mask. She separates the
white from the yolk. but does not beat.
Puts white on the face. Then the
yolk. Allows to dry. Removes with
cold water. She uses very little make
up-says skin Is what made girls Of
another generation beautiful. Now
We cover it with powder"
Another special beauty secret Is the
care she gives her eyes. She always
sleeps wearing 0 dark mask, which
ftts the head to shade eyes from light,
and keeps the muscles around the eyes
relaxed. She feels that eyes must be
kept young. Use Just o suggestion OF
makeup, not too much. For her own
coloring Of blond hair, blue eyes and
fair skin Miss Wood uses little Light
rouge, hpstick. natural powder and 0
faint violet syeshadow and brown
mascara for evening.

Campaign
Against All
Loud Noise
BY JAMES BARTON, NJ. D.


THROUGHOUT the world the cam
- paign against noise is rapidly
growing in strength in that instead oi
the government creating laws to lessen
noise, the people themselves are pc
titioning the government for action
And the encouraging feature is that
many Of those responsible for noise
are themselves trying to equip their
motor cars, horses, wagons, steam OF
electric drills, factory whistles and To-
comotives, radios, with silehcing de-
vices.
The London City Council permits
the costs of Silencers on road drills TO
be added to the cost Of breaking up
the road
Milk distributors are cooperating
BY putting rubber tires on wagons and
rubber shoes on horses, whilst others
are using trucks driven by electricity.
Railway companies are taking steps
TO reduce the blowing of whistles and
deaden the noise Of platform trucks
by the use Of rubber Innings.
1t is not fair to say that noises al
ways have existed and always will
exist. that nothing can be done about
it, and that noise does no harm any
way.
Any thinking individual knows that
the noises Of today are louder and
more penetrating than at any previous
time in history. He also knows that
the man of today is more highly
complex, more highly strung individual
than at any previous time.
And, as mentioned once before,
while Nature protects the delicate
nervous mechanism of the eye by en-
ebling us 70 close our eyes against
injury, the delicate mechanism of the
ear, which, like the eye, is directly
associated with the brain, has no such
protection. 1t is therefore necessary
for many of us who wish to read, write
Or rest to put ear stopples (the little
rubber appliances used by swimmers
to keep water from going into the
ears) or absorbent cotton into our ears
in order to deaden to some extent at
least the mental upsetment caused by
noise.

Honorng ST. Patrick Emerald White Must Pedomnat
Life of. the
Shy Child
Tactful Supervision
and Sincere Affec-
ton Needed.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CIMoN, aged ., had been Q sickly
~ infant. One illness followed an
other, 30 that he had not been able
to 90 out to play with other children,
or even to be taken on o visit to
friends and relatives. Gradually his
health had improved until. soon after
his third birthday, he could 90 out
with his mother. He would not 60
across the door sill unless she was
close by.
"He is 80 timid," his mother COM
planned. when we take him to visit
he cHngs to my dress and will not let
20. He won't answer up when he
Is spoken to. I feel so ashamed Of
him that I hate to take him any
where. Nothing I say does any good
He promises that next time he will
talk. and play nicely. but he never
does"
Never is O big word to use for 0
child Of ., especially one who has
been deprived Of the usual experiences
Of healthy infancy. This little one
lost his opportunities for social re-
lationships when other children Of
his age were enjoying them. He has
much to make up, and making up
lost experiences Is always Q slower
process than meeting them at the ap-
pointed time. The things this little
one would have done easily at the
normal stage Of development, done
without thinking about them at all,
he must now do thoughtfully. pains
takingly. slowly. Meeting people Is
one OF those experiences.
II Is not possible to force q child
to be friendly In word and manner.
That easy, social grace 80 much to
be desired in children comes through
daily experiences with people in the
early years Of infancy. If it Is not
acquired then 1t comes hard, and Is
never quite spontaneous. One must
wait with patience while the child
gets control Of himself.
There Is only one cure for timidities
and fears, and that 10 replacing them
with confidence and courage. These
qualities are not to be had for the
wishing. II they are not born in the
child in early infancy they must be
acquired by personal experience. Ex-
periences cannot be handed to chill
dren. They must be met at first hand
and lived through before they can
belong to the child and affect his
growth in anv uav
All this means that shy children
have to be carefully and thoughtfully
managed. Their experiences with
people must be managed so that they
will have the best possible influence
upon the children. Playmates must
be selected with Q view to their effect
upon the shy child. Relations with
grown people have TO be conditioned
TO meet the needs Of the shy ones
at the time. The conditions win not
be ideal. The child Is not at hts best.
Therefore his behavior will not be
what 10 desired. Meet his needs ut
the time; manage his experiences 50
that they viii strengthen him in spirit.
Shy children need medical care.
They must have the right food, not
the diet printed In the magazine as
good for children, but the diet that
the doctor says Is right for the child
in question. Sleep and rest and play
are essential. Steady routine and even
treatment steady him. A shy child Is
an ailing child and must have help.

Can Happen.

the purse bearer. 1t Is all right for
the husband to be rich and the wife
poor, but when the case is reversed
and the woman has money and the
man has nothing, 1t is almost sure to
cause trouble.
Whether this Is because 1t reverses
the order of nature that intends that
the man shall be the bread-winner
and the woman the bread-baker, or
whether it is because women are
stingier than men are, ! do not know.
But do know that while most rich
men delight in lavishing money on
their wives and dressing them up like
Solomon in all his glory, most
rich wives are niggardly to their poor
husbands and make them tell what
they did with that quarter they gave
them week before last.
T HAVE known plenty Of rich women
who married poor men. but have
never known a case in which the mar
riage resulted happily. Invariably 1t
turned the man into parasite who
had a contempt for himself because
his wife made of him nothing but a
hunkey whom she felt she had a
right to order about because she fed
and clothed him, and who was looked
down upon by other men.
Somehow money and love do not
seem to mix when a rich woman tries
to cook up romance with poor boy.
So my advice is to let your wife keep
the money that is dearer to her than
you are and for you to get job and
support yourself.
Plain bread that you earn is sweeter
than the cake that is doled out to
you by o grudging hand.

Supreme Court
Upholds IVA

The Roosevelt administration
won the Tennessee Valley dispute
in the Supreme Court Monday.
An opinion by Chief Justice
Hughes, from which Justice Nc
Reynolds alone dissented, held:
The government may build
dams for constitutional purposes.
It may sell electricity generated
by such dams. It may take steps
to carry that electricity to a
market.
Constitutionality of the vast
IVA project as a whole was not
interpreted. The court limited its
ruling to the aforementioned
issues.
New Dealers hailed the deci-
sion. Citizens of Florence, Ala,
danced in the streets. Power in
terests declined immediate COM
ment. Stock market traders guess
ed wrong, with utility prices
dropping after an initial rise in a
4,722,000-share day.

January Auto Deaths
LOWer Than Usual
Snow And Ice In January Were
Dangerous But Drivers Used
More Common Sense

Sixty-one persons were killed by
automobiles in North Carolina last
month";. the smallest motor fatality
list for a like period since April
1884.
The Division of Highway Safety
reported there were 81 persons kill
ed and 592 injured in 492 accidents
in January, compared with 80 kill
ed and SOC injured in January 1885.
In December lis were killed.
Capt. Charles D. Farmer of the
Highway patrol said he attributed
a part of the decrease to IAN act of
God, all this bad weather we've
been having" He AIDED that what
driving was done during most of
January was more hazardous than
usual and showed people can drive
carefully and safely if they will. -
Governor Birmingham said he was
gratified at the drop in fatalities. He
expressed the opinion part of the
decrease might have been occasion
ed by making the people more
safety conscious" through cam
paigns, but he also said he thought
it evidenced ''better enforcement
and observation of the laws"
There were 81 fatal accidents last
month, and pedestrians were in
volved in 26 of them. There were
five children under IA years of age
killed playing in the streets.
Only three fatal accidents were
caused by intoxicated drivers, COM
pared with Is in December. One
deaf mute was driving a machine
involved in fatal accident.
In only one fatal accident was q
woman driver, involved, while out
of-State cars were involved in four
fatal and 40 non-fatal wrecks.
The hour between and 8 at night
was the most dangerous in January
nine fatal and So non-fatal acct
dents occurring in that period, while
Mondays and Saturdays were the
most dangerous days with nine ia.
tai accidents on those days.

Charles Ross Thinks That Amount
Needed Will Represent One
Percent Of Investment

Charles Ross, general counsel for

mission, said that even if the
weather damage to the highway
system this winter is 100000 it
represents only per cent of North
Cardinals investment in highways.
eve have had probably the most
destructive weather conditions from
a road point of view that we have
had in 80 years." Ross said, ''but it
seems to me no occasion for alarm"
"Our maintenance budget is on
the basis of ordinary or average
weather conditions" he continued.
<'This is an abnormal condition and
the abnormal damage is not pecul-
lar to the highways. The damage to
VAIL classes of exposed properties is
perhaps as relatively great as high
way damage.
eff the highway system, repre-
senting an investment of more than
100000, completely exposed to
the elements and bearing up traf-
fic more destructive by reason of its
weakened condition, can be restor-
ed to anything like normal for l per
cent of its cost I think we are
