put your husbands nose out Of joint.
It Is pretty hard for a man who has
been cock of the walk to be deposed
by bald-headed infant that looks
like a cross between a cream cheese
and a broiled lobster, so let him
down easily. Give him some of
your time and attention and petting.
Step out with him instead of spend
ing the evenings watching junior
sleep. Talk about something besides
sterilized milk and formulas for baby
food.
Don't push your husband out into
the cold and thenceforth regard
him not as man, but as q slave to
provide luxuries for your children.
This is mistake. Few men are
baby worshipers, and if you have no
time for your husband he is likely
to be having a time with the plati-
mum blonds. Moreover, your chill
dren grow up and go about the
business of life for themselves, and
If you have lost your husband be-
cause Of them you are in for a lonely
old age.
Fifth. Don't nag. Before you
marry make up your mind that you
are going to take your husband as
Is, and stick to the resolution that
you are going to deny yourself the
pleasure OF cutting him over &C
cording to your own taste. Being
reformed is always a painful process,
and no man would ever marry If
he knew that he would have to go
through the torture of being torn to
pieces by his wife and have all of
his habits and tastes snatched from
him.
Not being q moron and having
ordinary powers of observation be-
fore you took a man for a husband
you must have noticed his table
manners, his grammar and pro-
nunciation, his little peculiarities
and weaknesses, and you must have
got line on his friends, his tastes,
his politics and his religion. Well,
then, in mercy to the poor creature,
either take him or leave him Just
as he stands, with all his faults thick
upon him.
So don't nag him to death about
gargling his soup, or numbering his
mother tongue, or eating tive pieces
OF pie for dinner. Never criticize
your husband. Leave that to
strangers who do not have to live
with him. DOROTHY DIX.

Teach Child
About Your
Finances
Living Beyond Your
Income Not the
Right Thing
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Grace had been unusually quiet
all afternoon and evening. Her
mother wondered what was wrong,
but said nothing, hoping that when
the house was settled for the night
they would have their usual friendly
chat about the days happenings.
No sooner had mother taken up
her knitting than Grace asked,
Mother, why can't we have as good
things to eat as the Rats have?
This afternoon Helen had some of
the girls in and she told me they
were going to have sandwiches from
Truly's. And ice cream from the
hotel. We never have things like
that"
mo. We can't afford them, child.
THAT would cost as much as we have
for three days food. We make our
own ice cream, and you always say
it's good"
"Oh. it is. Perfect. But the things
they get are different. Stylish-like,
you know. And they always have
everything. They have a car and
we haven't. All like that"
That's true. We're saving for
house and your college education.
And so as to have some money
handy in case of sickness. If father
was to be sick. We must be
careful. You're not worrying about
not having such things as cars and
summers at the beaches? You have
too much good sense. BY and by,
when you are out of college you will
have a good salary, and you can
have all the things you want then.
And we will have more by that time,
too. Just now we are building up
our home and family"
II know, mother. You and father
are Just great. I don't want any,
thing more than 7 have, really. But,
I just feel queer. Mrs. Raft told me
and Jessie's mother today, when she
told us about the party, that she was
going to move out of this neighbor-
hood so that Peach Raft could have
better social backgrounds. She said
the people around here were all
right, but they weren't the class she
wanted her daughter to associate
with, SO she was going to move to
the new development. Jessie's
mother asked her if that was not
going to be very expensive and she
said yes, but she was borrowing 5000
to move with. When she walked
away a big hole in her stocking
showed. Jessie's mother said she'd
better keep the house she had and
pay her bills and mend her clothes,
instead Of moving and sending her
daughter to a private school. I'd
like to go to private school if you
learned better there"
Mother counted stitches, thinking
Should tell the child? She's IS.
She ought to understand something
about this kind of thing, but I'd
hate to teach her to gossip. This
isn't gossip 1t Is an important idea
for her to grasp" So she said, "You
are old enough to know about using
money. Tomorrow, when we are
free Of work, I'll go over the thing
with you so you can know Just
how much money there is to do with
and what we do with it. We have to
have your help.
TITS bad idea to live beyond
your income. Grace, If I thought
you'd ever live to borrow money to
move into classy neighborhood, or
buy a car when you hadn't the
money to pay the doctor, I'd turn
over In my grave"

Ny Neighbor Soys:

Tramping into the woods,
yanking up small plants, and
breaking branches off big ones,
Is sure to cut down next years
supply and leave many OPEN
tngs for insects and disease.
Christmas green gatherers
should use as much care as
though they were making trim
mings to plants on their own
home grounds. Careful cutting
with sharp pruning shears will
improve the growth of ever
greens, rather than spoil it.
The most stubborn perspira-
ton stains may be removed by
treating them with a solution
Of oxalic acid and water. Use
one-twentieth as much acid
as water. Put the fluid on with
a fresh cloth. Remember that
oxalic acid is poison. 1t should
be kept in safe place or han

Table Decoration

An effective way to turn fruits
and vegetables into candlesticks for
the holiday table decorations is
to ream a hole in them with an
apple corer. This makes a well-de-
fined hole in which the candle can
be fitted snugly.

TAX EXEMPTIONS
CUT CONSIDERED
Income Levy Base May Be
Br0adened in Revision
Program, Is Hint.
Ry the Associated Press.

Roswell Magill. acting Secretary
OF the Treasury. announced today the
administration was studying the feasi-
bility OF lowering personal income tax
exemptions.
He declined to say whether he, or
other officials. favored reduction, but
said the subject was certainly" one
being studied in preparing broad tax
revision proposals to be submitted to
the next Congress.
In recent years, Congress has re-
peatedly defeated efforts by Senator
La Toilette. Progressive, Of Wisconsin
to cut the exemption for single persons
from $1,000 to $500 and for heads OF
families from $4,000 to $4,000.
As announced previously by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the Treasury also Is
studying suggestions for changes in
the undistributed profits tax and the
capital gains tax.
Taxing U. s. Salaries.
Mr.. Magill said that in addition the
Treasury was looking into methods of
carrying out the Presidents recon-
mendation for taxing the salaries of
Federal. atate and local government
employees and bond interest on future
issues of Federal, State and local
securities.
As part of the study. the Justice De-
partment has issued an opinion saying
the legislation, If confined to future
salaries and bond interest, probably
would be held constitutional by the
Supreme Court.
The Acting Secretary said among
scores OF technical tax matters under
study was the proposed revision of
the method in valuing business in
ventories in connection with calcu-
lating corporation profits. He said the
copper. brass and hides manufacturers
wanted change
Mr.. Magill declined to say whether
the new tax proposals would be de-
signed to increase, as well as adjust.
the Treasury's tax revenues, remarking
that Secretary Morgenthau andsPresi-
dent Roosevelt had agreed to defer
policy decisions until both return to
Washington.
Back Salaries Levies.
No final decision has been made
on taxing back salaries of govern
mental employees affected by the Su-
preme Court decision in the case Of
the New York Port Authority, Mr..
Magill told reporters.
The court ruled that employees Of
governmental agencies such as the
Port Authority were not exempt from
Federal income taxes and employees
OF many similar agencies feared they
would be asked to pay taxes on their
salaries back to 1926
Mr.. Magill explained the Treasury
wanted to be equitable" on collecting
taxes on salaries for back years. but
wanted Congress to take care of the
problem in connection with the pro-
posal to tax future salaries.
I'VE can afford to be equitable as
to past salaries if we get the tax
on future salaries" he said.

NEW YORK, July 21-Another out

LONDON. July 2l.-Prime Minister
mons today that Britain had received
from Chancellor Hitler's confidential

standing questions"
The Prime Minister said these as
surances had been given to Viscount
Halifax. foreign secretary. by Capt.

ply to a question as to what was dis
cussed at Monday nights confidential
discussion between Lord Halifax and

In the course of his recent visit to
London Capt. Wiedemann had an in
formal conversation with the secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs.
Capt. Wiedemann did not come
prepared to discuss any particular as
pect OF political affairs, but the con-
versation enabled him, owing to his
contact with authoritative circles in
Germany, to renew the assurances al
ready given by the German govern
ment Of their desire to achieve a
peaceful settlement of outstanding
questions.

Marlin Hooked by Physician
Rams Boat and Nearly Sinks 1t

For some time Dr. William B. Will
kins couldn't be certain whether he
had the marlin or the marlin had him.
The Alexandria physician hooked
the fish Tuesday from a 38-foot cabin
cruiser in the Atlantic IS or 40 miles
off ocean City, Md.
The marlin jumped 20 times in a
furious effort to shake Dr. wilkins
hook from his mouth Then the fish,
about rs feet off the port of the fish
ing boat Bessie B, turned and charged
straight for the angler
In IS feet the marlin worked up
enough speed to ram 912 inches of mis-
bill through the inch-and-three-
quarter cedar hull OF the Bessie B.,
below the water line splitting a plank
in the hull.
The fish thrashed about, swapping
his bill off in the hull, while Capt.
Marvin Williams got the bilge pump
going.
Still hooked, the marlin eventually
