~ We read your column faith

you to solve few problems for
us. Would a skin peel correct
blackheadS? Is there a cream
applied that will reduce super
fluous fat? A READER.
Dear Reader:
A skin peel may correct
blackheads. There are a num-
ber of lotions and creams on
the market that are said to
reduce superfluous fat.
Hopeless:
Why sign yourself Hopeless?
Your proportions are right, you
say, all but the thighs. Exer-

will give you two that will make
you slender, but you will have
to work.
Here they are: First, stand

A Column for Modern Women
By GEORGE ANTHEIL

THERE is no time in a young couples
i life that is so difficult for both hus-
band and wife as the time Immediately be-
fore and after their first baby. Some for
tunate couples get through this trying ex-
perience without much trouble, but most
young couples have narrowing experience.
By that, however, do not mean that the
expected event is to be feared. But 1 do
mean that husband and wife have to make
90 many mental and physical adjustments
The Washington times., 1938-08-01

90 many mental and physicj
In such a short space of time
that serious misunderstanding
often arise.
The young wife is often un-
duly apprehensive and this
make her nervous, sours her dis
position, and she is frequently
inclined to be pessimistic and
perhaps a bit caustic in her re-
marks to her husband. The lat
ter is consequently hurt and Of
Tended and usually so bewildered
that his brain cells stop working.
Not Unusual
Situation
Their feelings are somehow
nagnified out of all reasonable
proportion. The girl thinks her
husband is a brute and the man
believes his wife to be a harri-
dan. A not unusual situation,
as older couples know, but en-
tirely wrong, unjust, and un-
fair from the young benedict's
viewpoint, as witness the fol-
lowing letter.
Dear George: I've been mar
fled two years and it's just a
month since we've had our first
child. My wife is 19 and I'm
20 and we wanted the baby very
much, but it looks to me as if it
may ruin our future happiness.
Norma, my wife, is usually Of
Q very happy disposition. but,
both before and after her con-
finement, her temper has been
on edge. Nothing I do or say
seems to satisfy her.
"She scarcely notices me eX-
cept to make some cutting re-
mark. stood all of that hoping
that after our son was born she :
would change but at this very
writing she seems worse than
ever.
We've had some serious quar-
relS that started over trifleS and
for days we'd scarcely speak
to each other. I've tried to talk
reasonably to her and explain
that I should be entitled to a
little consideration but she burst
into tears and scolds me unmer-
cifully.
will you please tell me what
is wrong? Sometimes, I think
I'm going nutS.-BeWildered."
Calm yourself, Bewildered,
there's nothing radically serious
In either yours or Norma's symp-
toms. For the time being, you're
just a spare tire around the
house and you'll be regarded
that way until your son gets a
good healthy start. Then you'll
come into your own.
At birth time, there's nothing
30 unimportant in a woman's
life as a man, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of the doctor.
And that's as it should be and
as nature intended it to be.
However, that's no reason for
you to go out in the garden and
swallow night-crawlers. This pc
riod doesn't last long, and after
it's all over Norma probably
won't even remember picking on

A good dress to wear right
now when you want to imper-

them in navy and in forest

COULD APPLY TO COAL

I've years ago the court upset the Guffey coal production control act by asserting that the industry was lccal, not national, in character. What now is to offset an argument that coal mining is in interstate commerce because coal is sold to companies which engage in inter state commerce? That is one of the possibilities.
 The court has veered about within two years to a course that vastly broadened Federal control over such matters as labor and indus trial conditions. In the Consolidated Edison decision a member of the court for the first time gave some recognition of the change. In his dissent, Justice Butler rather for lOrnly referred to the period when the court was deciding another way, and he was one of the majority in stead of the present slim minority constituted by himself and Justice McReynOlds.
