Concerning
Household
Troubles
Differences in A ge
Often Cause Much
Friction.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

+ A household had no more trouble
than what grew out OF its own life
there would be enough to go around
and to spare. No home but has It's
trials Of sorts. Temperaments clash,
personalities war with each other,
doubts and fears and illness appear to
cause anxiety and force adjustments.
This is expected and taken more or
less as a matter of course
There are few families that escape
as easily as that. Few are without
some additional members who, for one
unquestioned reason or another, must
make their homes with whichever
branch of their family can best af-
ford to take them, or whose duty
makes taking them imperative.
There is the invalid uncle who
makes his home with his sister. An
aged father or mother who must have
care and has no other place TO look
for it but this home with his son or
daughter And there is the lucklesS
one whose schemes never quite pan
out and who has to retreat for food
and shelter to the more-or-less well
coming bosom of this family. Any
family knows the problems that these
additional members make in the
economic, administrative, general
management phases of the home.
The children of the family create
most of the difficulty which the ad-
dltlonal members make The old peo-
Pile have different sleeping hours than
the rest of the household and the
children must be quiet at hours when
quiet is not in their requirements.
Sick relatives cann6t stand the noise
and the electric atmosphere that chill
dren carry about with them. All FAM
ly members more than years OF
| age think they can solve the irrita-
| tions, troubles, crises of the day, and
| freely, loudly, persistently offer their
help to the struggling, striving. strain
ing mother. She bears the brunt OF
1t all.
| What to do?
These people must stay where they
are for the time being at least. So
must the children So must the
harassed and driven parents. The
thing to do Is to make a survey Of
the situation. Study to see where and
how each memberss rights and privi-
leges can be preserved to him with
out infringement upon those of the
others. Select the few major needs
OF the children first, then make the
necessary adjustments for the rest.
Children must feel secure in their
own homes. 1t must be decided that
they are responsible to one person.
their mother-an she is to be sole
arbitrator of their fate without benefit
Of advice from anybody. That set
tied, the rest of the program can be
set. Be frank about it, discuss II,
arrange whatever compromises are
necessary, but spare the children and
the mother as much as possible the
wear and tear of divided feeling
in the household.
1t will not hurt the children to
learn to be considerate of older people,
to learn to be helpful and adaptable.
1t will do them good. If the situation
is set clearly before them and their
cooperation asked, they will be the
better for the experience. But some
definite basis for living together must
be set.

My Neighbor Says:

Phlox plants, which keep COM
ing up here and there through
out the garden, should be pulled
up and destroyed. There is
great temptation to leave them,
but these plants invariably will
produce flowers of an unpleas-
ant magenta color. Many gar
dens are ruined because the
owners fail to to observe this
precaution.
Instead of baking custards in
the oven try cooking them in
cups placed in kettle of water
on top Of stove. If water is
kept boiling custard will be per-
fectly cooked.
White enamelware may be
cleaned by dipping q wet cloth
into baking soda and rubbing it
on ware. Do not use the soda
sparingly.
When sealing fruit buffers or
preserves, place circle Of thin
cheesecloth on top and sprinkle
this with ground cinnamon. The
spice prevents mold from ac-
cumulating on the fruit.

THIS is the time Of the year
when my mail is filled with
heartrending SOS cries from
Il farmers wives and women who
own mountain camps and seaside
cottages and who are being worked
to death and eaten out of house and
home by Summer visitors.
"Ill wager" writes one woman,
that the man who wrote the song
about the Good Old Summer Time
was born and reared on the fifty
seventh floor OF a skyscraper and
never set foot off of a paved street.
If he had ever lived in the country,
he would not have been singing about
the flowers and birds He would have
been grooming about the horror OF
having unlimited company descend
ing upon him in droves and devouring
him alive, and about having to sleep
on a cot while Aunt Jane occupied
his bed, and about the torment of
having Sister Sally dump her brats
on him while she went off to Europe,
and about having to spend his time
frizzling in hot kitchens preparing
food for guests who had the appetites
of Anacondas instead of resting and
relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
And, believe me, that would have
been a song that would have wrung
tears out of stone"

"VX7HEN we bought little place in
w the mountains" writes another
woman, 1--WE thought that we could
spend our Summers simply, quietly,
peaceably and cheaply. Little did
we know that we were unintention-
ally opening up a free hotel and that
before the Summer was over would
be worked into prostration and my
budget knocked into smithereens.
"Yet that is what happened. Be-
fore we got the curtains hung. our
unpaying guests began dropping in.
People we hadn't heard of in years
were smitten with sudden desire
for our society. Members of our
families piled in on us three deep
and had perfectly grand vacations
that didn't cost them a cent. And
nobody we had ever heard of came
within so miles of us who didn't drop
In to spend the night or a week end,
and they brought along their friends
with them. When have q night
mare I see a large automobile turn
ing in at the gate filled with people
who get out joyously calling for drinks
and sandwiches"

AMUSING STORY TOLD ON
MAJOR EDWARD 5. BoWBe

Can Major Bowes pick statuaryY
At least in one instance, the one
and only Major Edward Bowes Of
national radio fame, proved himself
Tess skilkul in picking good statuaTy
than in choosing popular radio talent,
according to information gathered by
field writer on the American Guide,
q federal writer's project Of the works
Administration.
While engaged in real estate promo
tions in Tacoma two or three decades
age. the public-spirited Major Bowes
presented Tacoma with two heroic
sphinxes which were set up in Wright g
Park. They We're presented and IN
yelled amid fanfare of ceremony.
But 1t rained that night Going around
the next morning to view with pride
the two statues, Bowes found them
slumped down ANONYMOUSLY in two
shapeiess blobs Of plaster. He stole
quietly away and made no further re-
ference to his ill-starred gift to the
city.
But, states the American Guide
writer, Bowes, even way back in those
days, showed marked talents in at
least other directions, while a citizen
of the Puget Sound city. He add
cd to the city's skyline in 1910 by
erectisg the Bowes Building. now the
site of the Tacoma Savings and Loan
Associations Building at Ninth and
GA" streets. Then beautiful actress
come to town on q road tour. Bowes
married her, became her manager. and
left Tacoma to enter upon a SUCCESS
full theatre career. She was Margaret
Ellington.
For this reason Bowes still holds
fond memories for Tacoma, though he
slludders even today when he recalls
''tale Of two sphinxes." But Tacom-
ans chuckle gleefully at thought of the
incident when over the Tadio they
hear his now famous call right all

mutter, "Not everything, Major, re

CIR. COULEE
GETS MONEY

The town of Grand Coulee, vir-
tually nonex1stent in 1880 and
thus ineligible to state highway
funds, was voted $4,000 for road
maintenance and construction by
the senate at Olympia Wednesday.
Senator Joe Keller said Grand
Coulee had population of three
in 1880, but that now there are
more than 5000 persons there. all
paying gasoline taxes but not shar-
ing in road work because funds
were allocated on bases of 1890
populations in the state.
The vote was taken after Sena-
tor A. G. W7ingrove (Kittitas).
whose district included Grand Cou-
lee, complained he had difficulty
campaigning at the dam last fall
because of the dust"
The bill already has passed the
house.
In the opinion of the attorney
general, however, the appropria-
zion is unconstitutional He de-
clared the state could not mete
out such funds direct to the city
OF Grand coulee; it would have to
be appropriated to the highway de-
partment, where it could be ear
marked for the purposes desired.
The necessary changes are be-
Ing made in the bill and it is ex-
pected it will be promptly approx
ed by both houses. In the senate
debate on the measure there was
some talk about similar relief be-
Ing extended to the community of
North Bonneville. Senator J. n.
koontz (Okanogan) announced he
was preparing bill which would
meet the requirements of other
communities in the same plight as
Grand Coulee.

What is truo in large center il
equally true in Coulee. Citizens of
this community will find that it pays
to read the advertisements and note
where they can buy the merchandise
they want at the price they are able
and willing to pay.
One Of our subscribers asserts that
she saves many times the price Of o
years subscription to the Dispatch
every month merely by reading what
tht merchants of the community have
to offer. She finds it easier, quicker
and more pleasant to shop from page

This of course is only one advan.
tage she derives from reading the I'D
vertising. The ads contain the news
from the stores of the community.
They tell Of new service and new
merchandise. They tell of latest styles
and newest ideas. 1t is impossible to
be well posted without reading the
ads.
1t you are in the habit of skipping
the ads, just try the experiment Of
reading them first. You will find it
