WASHINGTON, Mar. 20. CUP
The administrations entire good
neighbor" program for solution of
various disputes with Mexico has
been shelved until the impassc
caused by MeXico's appropriation
of American oil properties has
been settled satisfactorily, the
United Press learned last night.
The treasury departments Sus-
pension of the Mexican silver pur-
chase agreement, Plus its action
yesterday reducing its New York
purchase price for foreign silver
from rs to Id cents an ounce, are
only a fractional part of the
changes which may occur in Unit
cd States-MeXican relations unless
Mexico comes to quick terms i
high administration official sail.
Although official confirmation
was withheld it was learned on
insdisputable authority that the
programs embracing distribution
of waters from the Rio Grande,
Colorado and Tia Juana rivers,,all
flood control projects, debt ad-
justments, indemnity claims bels,,
tierland claims and fishing rights
have been placed in the inactive
file.
State department officials de-
clined to admit that new represen-
tations on the petroleum cases
have been sent to Mexico but this
correspondent was told that the
department has made its position
Completely and officially" clear
and that it is now President Laza-
TO Cardenas' move.
The United States position, it
waws revealed, was communicated
to Cardenas subsequent to suspen-
sion of the silver purchase agree
ment, thus bringing the president
of the southern republic face to
face with the necessity for max
ing an early decision.
Officials continued to deny that
drastic measures were being taken
in retaliation for the Mexican ex-
preparation order but veteran OBJ
servers were convinced that the
treasury and state departments
are maneuvering Mexico into an
economic position which will force
her, if she wants to save her wob-
bly, monetary structure, to meet
United States demands.
On the surface the New York
silver price reduction was intend
ed to meet exigencies caused by a

Manners
of the
Moment

MAYBE you never lived in top-floor
apartments. Maybe you never
lived in old houses. Maybe, in short.
you never lived in place where the
shower stopped running the minute
you stepped into it.
But we have. and We can tell you
all about it. just as you begin to get
warmed up, and are trying to persuade
yourself that it wasn't so bad to get
out of bed after all, there is gurgling
sound above you. and the water sud-
denly gives one final squirt and quits.
Being warm and wet, you persuade
yourself that it will start again in
just second. It must be that the
lady downstairs is doing her dishes.
You wait patiently until even your
washcloth feels like a cast-of ice
pack, and then you give up.
The minute you have put the first
layer of clothes on there is a sudden
siss-boom- bah in the shower faucet,
and the water comes out in beautiful
steamy torrent just by way of sour
grapes.
Perhaps the only thing wrong is
that you forgot to turn the faucet off
before you gave up. Or, perhaps, you're
in the wrong house But we think
probably you might as we'll give up
the morning shower idea. Go in for
bedtime baths instead. Then 1t
doesn't really seem so important when
there isn't any water. JEAN.

Search for
The Cause
OF a Lie
Only an Abnormal
Child Continues
This Practice.
By ANGELO PATRI.

my CHILD told me a lie today. A
deliberate lie What is to be
done with him? Should send him
to confess it to the clergyman? Should
I tell his father? Would visit to the
Jail do any good? Should I have
whipped him? I am so upset that
am not sure of myself and must have
help.
He asked for cents to get note
book and gave it to him. When
asked him If he got the book he said,
Yes thought no more about it
until a couple of days later when he
asked for a writing pad that was on
the desk I asked him for his note
book and he said he had lost 1t. I
got the truth out of him by ques-
tioning him. He spent the cents
for candy and got no book. I'm heart
broken"
Don't be heartbroken. don't be
frightened. This lie is not the first
one that has shadowed this earth, nor
will it be the last. Since the be-
ginning of time men have used a lie
as a door to escape. Why should we
be so frightened when a child fol-
lows the race-old pattern? All chill
dren lie sometimes, but only the alb
normal child continues the practice.
This mistake can be trained out Just
as other mistakes are trained out of
a childs behavior. Take heart and
face the situation. II Is going to be
overcome.
First-and this is highly important
to success-build up the health Of the
child. Courage is born Of health,
physical and mental. Lies are born
Of fear and fear is unhealthy, the
sign OF illness. The lie itself Is not so
important as the cause Of the lie.
What made the child want candy 10
badly? Why was he afraid to ask for
candy directly? Why was he afraid
to tell his wants and his feelings to
his mother? In the correct answers
to these questions lies the solution of
this problem.
When a child tells a lie. or is dis
covered pilfering, try not to be fright
ened yourself and try not to frighten
the child. Fear will confuse you and
allow you to do things that you would
never do If your mind was clear and
your reason uppermost. Don't strike
the child. Don't scare him with hell
fire. Do not put hot pepper on his
tongue. Do not infiict pain OF this
sort upon him, for it will increase his
fear; increase his tendency to defend
himself with lie; increase his help
lessness.
Listen to his story. Question him
carefully. Try to find the truth of
his actions. Think it over. Try, II
possible, to see why he did this thing.
Then talk to him. Tell him, If he is
little chap about or so, q good
fable that sets out your meaning. II
he is older tell him that q lie Is q
foolish gesture that deceives nobody,
but Injuries the liar seriously in his
reputation and in his own soul. Give
him good example, q pattern to go
by. There are heroes of truth that
boys delight to honor. Tie one to
the erring lad. Keep searching for
the root Of the trouble and build to
strengthen the child against 1t.

More About
Beautifying
The Teeth
Any Irregularities
In Child's Can Be
Strengthened.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

YESTERDAY We discussed the basic
rules for keeping the teeth clean
and white. We also mentioned that
Hollywood insists on two attributes Of
beauty, above all others, and that is
a beautiful smile and sparkling, even,
white teeth.
It would be foolhardy and untrue to
say that all stars are blessed by ma
ture with a fine, even set Of dazzling
teeth. That is not so. Often very
costly dental surgery is needed to cor
rect defects in formation. This. to be
sure, is above the means of the average
man or woman.
But there are minor Ills that can
and should be corrected. Often these
are allowed to lag, not so much be-
cause OF the cost involved, but because
We humans procrastinate, because We
think it won't matter or won't show
A lost tooth, for instance, should be
replaced. Otherwise the bite" and
entire contour of the face may be
changed 1t is a mistake to think
because the tooth happens to be in
the back, where it doesn't show in
speaking or smiling. that it does not
need replacement. Haven't you often
noticed sinking-in of the cheek
where a tooth was extracted? Doesn't
that tell the story as plainly as if the
space were noticeable when the lips
parted in smile?
Science tells us that prenatal care
influences teeth formation. In addi-
ton to that. if the teeth-that is, the
second teeth-are not straight. they
can be Strengthened In childhood.

TheWedding
Problem
By EMILY POST.

By EMILY POST.
DEAR MRS. POST: There Is a little
confusion about whose name should
appear on my wedding announce
ments. have no parents and am liv-
ing with my married sister. Her name
is, Of course. different from mine. For
this reason think it would be better
for the only brother in the family,
who IS also married, to announce my
marriage. Do you agree, and If so,
should my brothers wife be included
on the announcement, too?
Answer-This answer depends some
what upon your individual situation.
If your sister with whom you live Is
much nearer to you than your brother,
and If, let us say, she is the oldest in
the family, then the announcement
would very properly 60 out in her
name and that Of her husband. For ex-
ample: "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones an
nounce the marriage Of their sister,
Mildred Mary Brown" etc, That is
quite all right. On the other hand, If
your brother Is the head of the FAM
lily and you are just as devoted to him
as you are to your sister, then it would
be most proper that he and his wife
announce your marriage, worded: Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Brown announce the
marriage Of their sister, Mildred
Mary" etc. In this case, your name
being the same as his, the last name.
Brown" would be omitted.

DEAR MRS. POST: viii you ex-
plain just what are the essential
differences between the duties and
clothes Of . hostess who gives 4

gives the party in . hotel or club.
Answer-None that I know Of. Ex.
cept perhaps that the hotel manage
ment Is responsible for the food and
service. In her own house anything
that falls short Of excellence Is the
fault Of the hostess. Otherwise her
duties are the same. She must be
ready to receive q few minutes before
the hour set, and she must look after
her guests to the best Of her ability

AnsWer-UnleSS you are he-saint
and above all human selfshness and
Jealousy, you cannot find any hap
piness in such marriage There
are two insuperable objections to It.
The first is that even now, before
marriage, you are not able to forgive
this woman her past and you do
not trust her. Believe me, after mar.
riage that feeling will be more bitter
than 1t is now and it will poison
all Of your life together.
Always you will be ashamed Of her.
You will know that people will recall
the old scandal wherever you 20.
Women will draw their skirts away
from her. If your friends receive
her at all it will be upon sufferance,
Always you will know that you handi.
capped yourself by taking a woman
with a past as a wife You will
never trust her, no matter how true
she is to you, nor how clean a life
she leads, because you will always
think that the woman who Welded
to temptation once will yield again
under provocation.
I don't think that any man has a
right to marry a woman with a past
unless he really and truly can forgive
and forget and her past means moth.
ing to him. That is only giving her
a square deal. Nothing is more cad
dish than for a man to marry a
woman and then throw up her indis-
cretions to her in every family spat.
Another reason why there will be
small happiness for you in marrying
this woman is because her heart Is
really buried in her husbands grave.
She gave him all she had OF love
and you will always hold q second
place In her affections. And, believe
me, q man can be more Jealous Of
a ghost than he can be Of . living
rival.
