HOW OFTEN DO YOU TAKE YOUR WIFE OUT?

Expected Glamour
AtHosne

These hundreds of wives who
wrote in said they thought an
occasional outing was only their
due after the eternal grind of
an average day. They weren't
complaining unduly of their lot,
because all the women they
knew were doing practically the
same thing. What they did want
was to go to the movies at least
once a week. And o, my sisters,
do you know why they wanted
to go to the movies at least
once a week?-To see a man on
the screen make love charm
ingly.
In addition, their husbands
took them entirely too much for
granted, and never courted
them at all. Perhaps the wives
thought, seeing how the screen
Romoes did it, husbands might
provide a bit more glamour at
home.
One letter, utterly tragic,
came in this mo amusement"
series. I am putting it in the
column, hoping there may be
some solution from our readers:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a young mother Of FL
and have been married nearly
three years. I have a darling
baby girl, year old. My hus-
band is IS. Since we have
been married, he has taken me
out only four times, and he has
never walked out with baby and
me. I've actually heard rumors
that some of the neighbors think
I'm an unWed mother.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-11-18
Husband Refuses
To Pay Anything

when I ask him why he
won't take me out, he says he
can't afford it. Still, he has
money for drinks, stays out
until all hours, and comes home
like a mailman when he's been
drinking. If I ever ask him to
pay for anything, I am refused.
"You see, Miss Fairfax, I
work and make $12 a week, pay
ing a girl 81 to mind the baby.
That leaves me So on which I
have to dress baby and myself.
And he threatens to tell people
I'm Wasteful. He thinks I spend
too much. Last week after I
finished paying household bills
I had to pawn my wedding ring
because was sick and obliged
to pay a doctor.
every foolishly I told my nus
band I wanted to save out 50 a
week to buy baby a winter out
fit and myself a coat. He got
furious, and told me to pay the
bills with that So. He makes
fair wages at his job. One
week 1 spent all my wages on
the baby, to see If he would pay
the bills. Well, that week he
didn't have much to drink, but
I've never heard the last of it.
Everything we have is on
credit. I am "DiStraught,"

the elimination of the chain store IN the interest
of their smaller individual competitors. Ihere IS
no pretense that revenue is the object Inc theory
is that the chain stores will be compelled 10 ioia
up and abandon the retail field. The consequence
will be that consumers will be driven to the lnoe

higher than those formerly charged by the chaln

the small shop keeper, and the integral industry

In this earthly paradise everyone will get good

GETS WHAT 1T DESERVED

1t required Southern Senators six weeks to talk
the ant-lynching bill into congressional back
ground.
The measure has not, of course, been perma-
nently defeated, but it has been displaced on the
calendar and for the long present at any rate, 1t
is out of the mind of the lawmakers.
Opposed to it because, in our Judgment, the
federal government would be no more efficient in
enforcement of anti-lynching laws than local gov
ernments and also for the reason that these local
units of government are already measurably sue
ceedng in stamping out this crime, this newspaper
refused to become unduly excited over the proba-
bilities of its enactment.
The federal government is so generally trespass-
ing upon the rights of lesser governments and so
prevailngly interfering with the established per-
sonal liberties of the American people that little
argument remains against this measure these
grounds.
The bill was politically inspired, in the first place,
and it has been now laid aside by the medium of
political strategy on the part of its opponents. In
the mere matter therefore, of the politics involved,
both sides are The pot does not get anywhere
with its case of calling the kettle black.
In point of principle, the measure has received
what it deserved. 1t abounded in dangers out of
proportion to it's Observation-Disclosures Observer.

CONGRESS SHOULD ADJOURN NOW

President Roosevelt is said to have Informed call
ers that he sees no reason why congress should not
be able to adjourn soon-if it "digs in and COM
pletes its work"
There may be some difference of opinion as to
what constitutes completion of congress- work, as
between the administration, congress ITSELF and the
county generally
There may even be some difference of opinion
as to the desirabiity of completing that work,
whatever it may be that has been laid out for it.
But at the present time there does not seem to
be any real difference of opinion as to the desira
bility of adjournfng congress as soon as possible.
That would give the country the breathing spell
which the president has tentatively promised, and
which even the president is beginning to under
stand is imperative if not to run the risk OF
something going to smash.-Rock Hill Herald.

BEHIND THE SCENES

The Austrian chancellor, in one
private conversation, is reported
to have referred to Hitler as "a
madman-a mailman with a mis-
Sion."
TURIOUSLY enough, most of the
~ really bitter criticism of south
ern senators participating in the
anti-lynching bill filibuster has
come from the South. Northern
senators and newspapers have
been relatively mild in comment.
"The southern senators are
making such spectacles of them
selves that the disgust over their
antics is in some measure tenn
pered by amusement" reported
the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
"Other measures are being
ditched while certain. southern
senators conduct themselves like
asses braying at the moon," said
the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver-
tiSer. -
1.-THE Senate filibuster against
the anti-lynching bill is still in
progress, with Senator Bilbo and
others making jackasses out of
themselves" commented the Athe-
MAN of Athens, Tenn. = 30. 4 I'D

knows that horses coat must be
curried and brushed every day if
it is to be kept glossy and healthy.
Every particular horse owner puts
in more time every day currying
and brushing his horses coat than
the average man spends on his
own head. Every shop that pre-
tends to cater to the require
ments of horses carries a supply
of currycombs and brushes.
There are massage brushes
with rubber teeth which can be
had for currying and loosening
the human scalp without scratch
