Confidence

Wisdom
Mother Should Say
Yes as Often as
1t Is Possible.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


WYATT for me after dismissal at
noon. I have something to tell
you," whispered Caroline to Mar
garet Anne on the way to assembly.
Margaret nodded assent. Her face
lighted at the thought Of what this
something might be, for Caroline was
an active and imaginative child, al
ways thinking of something interest
ing to be done, always willing to share
the fun with the group who were her
friends and followers, among whom
Margaret was first and foremost.
AS the children poured out of the
school doors at IL o'clock Margaret
Anne waited close to one Of them for
a sight of Caroline's blue tam and
scarlet sweater She was usually the
last one out because she had so much
to say that had to be said before
leaving. At last she came and the
two, with arms entwined, walked to-
ward home.
1--WE a great idea. Lots of fun. You
know that the gypsies are in the
village? On the lot by the station?
Well, there's woman there who tells
your fortune Everything that has
happened to you, and all that Is go
ing to happen to you, who you'll
marry, and everything. I'm going to
hear it. It only costs 10 cents.
MY plan Is to 60 there right after
school. We have to make an early
start or it will be dark coming home.
The whole bunch is going. Just bring
your 10 cents and come along. It'll be
the greatest fun we've had this term"
"1'll ask my mother"
mo, don't do that. She'll say no.
Tell her after you've been. That's
what we are all going to do. The
mothers will make such a fuss and
they won't let us go, and that will
spoil it all. Don't say a word"
Then I can't 60. I'd have to ask
my mother. She will say yes, I'm sure.
She always does if it is something I
want to do and it isn't dangerous
like climbing the quarry"
II asked you to come, too, because
you are my best friend. Now if you
spoil the whole thing"
Mother won't tell, even if she says
I can't 60. Not unless it is dangerous,
and if it is so bad that my mother has
to tell the other mothers, I'm scared
Of going anyhow. But I'll keep still
and stay home"
mo. II you're sure she won't tell,
go ahead. It won't be any fun for me
If you don't go. Maybe-well, you
ask"
Mother listened, asked a few ques-
tions and then said, "Yes, you can 60.
1t Is quite a long walk there and
back so I'll drive over with the sta
ton wagon and meet you on the
grounds and drive the crowd home.
How's that?'
Pine" said Margaret Anne. II
knew could count on you. Caroline
will be surprised"
It Is wise to say yes as often as pos
sible 50 as to make the asking easy
and the confidence in the answer sure.
Mother found way to say yes to q
request that was dubious. Sometimes
there Is nothing to be done except to
say no. But If that no comes only
on the right occasions the child soon
recognizes its wisdom and abides by 1t.

~ fis out Of marriaee-men or
a women? And in case neither
marries, which is lonelier-old bache-
lors or old maids?
think that marriage is one Of
the few things In life in which women
get the best end Of the bargain Per-
haps that is the reason why girls are
so much more eager to rush into
matrimony than boys are. This is not
because men make better husbands
than women make wives. or because
wives, as a rule, are happier than are
husbands, but because women have
more to gain from marriage than
have men.
THE average man, for instance,
gains 10 social prestige by mar
rying. No one suggests that the rea-
son man has not married Is because
he lacks charm. or personality, or it.,
or whatever it takes to attract the op-
posite sex. But the general SUPPOSE
ton is that when a woman doesn't
marry it is because she couldn't; that
no man wanted her.
Instead, so far as popularity in So
ciety goes, marriage is handicap to
a man, whereas 1t is promotion to
a woman. A single man is the an
SWer to the hostess PRAYER for some
one to balance a dinner table, fill in
at bridge or pep up week ends for
girl guests. He loses this advantage
when he becomes merely half of a

women lose interest in a man so
quickly as for him to get married,

scarf or waistcoat can substitute for
dress.
Representatives of various American
suit houses who have just returned
from the Paris openings, give us
Some pointers on the suit situation.
They report that the longer cutaway
acket is very important; that Schi-
(parelli's smooth shoulders are clean

putt is the most important costume
type for spring.
OF course the tailored suit never
pses its popularity, and this season,
S concession to the general FEM
pine trend in all fashions, We speak
the 'woman-tailored" instead of
ne "man-tailored' look. BY this is
heant that the harsh stiffness is gone
fom these suits; they are softer
trough the Waistline, rolled lapels
hiding in link button are feminine;
houlders may be broad but not sharp
military. In fact, these suits have
more comfortable look without losing
ny Of their smartness.
N ONE local shop We found very
large and comprehensive group of
hese classics including true junior
izes beginning at size 9 and follow
ng along with the between-sizes to
5. They are priced at $1695 and
1895 and show a great variety of
bard finished mannish fabrics in navy
nd range of grays. Sleeves are
both smooth at the shoulder and
Fllghtly broadened with few pleats.
Size is very petite and should be

Newest among the three piece suits
are those with straight-line boxy top

These are particularly smart in
golden beige called wheat stalk" bor-
dered with red fox from collar to
hem on each side of the front closing.
The amount of fur used makes these
suits expensive, but they are lovely.

ALL OF CREW OF SHIP
SUNK TODAY IS SAFE

BARCELONA, Feb. A. (UP)-
1t was asserted officially today
that two seaplanes from the Ma
tionalist Majorca island base in
the Balearics bombed and sank
the British steamer Alcira, 20
miles southeast of Barcelona.
Members of the Alciras crew,
arriving by row boat, first report
ed the attack. A fishing boat and
government boat rescued the re-
mainder of the Alciras 26-man
crew.
An official statement said that
the seaplanes first dropped three
bombs at the Alciras then return
ed to the attack with two more
bombs. The vessel sank immedi-
ately with a cargo of coal bound
from Great Britain.
A member of the crew said:
eve were warned that planes
were overhead but took no notice
and thought it was joke. We
heard machinegun fire and then
knew something serious was hap
pening. The planes first machine
gunned us, then returned slowly
and very low, nearly touching the
masts. The planes made three d.
rect hits; one struck the hold and
started a fire, the second struck
the observers cabin, which was
empty, and the third was dud."
The bombing followed closely
the torpedoing of the British
freighter, Endymion, with loss
of II lives.

Little Business Financial Aid Studied
UNDER COVER CAMPAIGN FOR
RENEWED SPENDING BY NEW
DEAL IS NOW BEING WAGED
Efforts to Swing President
in Line May Snarl Early
Adjournment Plans

WASHINGTON, Fb. 4. (UP)
An undercover campaign to swing
President Roosevelt to a renewed
spending program at the expense
of the White House budget bal
ancing plans appeared likely to-
day to snarl prospects for a spring
adjournment of congress.
Influential congressional fac
tons already have sought to bring
pressure on Mr.. Roosevelt to re-
sumo heavy expenditures as the
best method of overcoming the
business recession, but so far their
arguments have been reported in
vain.
The campaign is being con-
tinued, however, by some promi-
nent New Dealers and undoubtcd-
ly will provide prolonged fireworks
in congress which, in addition to
unexpected delay in tax legisla-
ton, threatens to Illustrate plans
Of many legislators to get away
early in preparation for the 1888
election campaigns.
Senate Majority Leader Alben
w. Barley 3D., KY expressed
hope that adjournment would be
possible early in May but, with
Legislative difficulties becoming
daily more apparent, other con-
gressional veterans, including Mi
nority Leader Charles L. McNary
(R., Ore.) were convinced that
June / or later was more likely
date.
The legislative prospects, slow
ly being clarified after weeks of
uncertainty and of filibustering
against the now doomed anti
lynching bill, disclosed the follow
ing important developments:
l. Anti-monopoly legislation al
most certainly will be turned over
to a group-possibly joint COM
mittec of house and senate-for
study until next session, in the
opinion of congressional leaders.
Barley said he believed that a
general "anti-monopoly program
will remain in the study stage UNI
til next session"
2. Legislation providing for the
eventual abolition of bank holding
companies probably will be enact
ed, in the opinion of the mai ority
leader. Senator Francis Maloney
3D., Conn., also expressed conf
dence that bill regulating over
the-counter securities trading will
be passed.
8. Tax legislation, slow in get
ting before the house, will be
long task in the senate and prob
ably will be another obstacle to an
early adjournment. The principal
purpose will be moderation of the
undistributed profits tax to relieve
small business. -,

HULL DEGREES
BOMBING OF
POPULATIONS
Renews Condemnation Of
Acts by Spain, Japan;
Pursue Naval Inquiry

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. (UP)
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
yesterday again condemned the
bombing of innocent civilian pop
ulations by armed forces while
members of house committee
sought to determine whether an
increase in this nations naval
forces is necessary to repel a
possible Asiatic invasion.
Congressional concern over
United States foreign policy was
evinced in several quarters as
Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of naval operations, testified for
the fourth day on President
Roosevelt's demands for navy
20 per cent over treaty limits.
Representative Hatton w. Sum-
ners, D., Tex, apparently refer
ring to the recently rejected Lud-
low war referendum amendment,
said that the people should not
b granted the power to declare
war because "that power is the
most difficult for the people in
dividually to exercise"
Speaking from the floor, he ap-
pealed for calm minds and resist
ance to propaganda in "these
troublous times" and warned
"that our danger, as | see it now,
is that our people will be swept
off their feet and caught in prop
uganda one way or the other"
Fear for the future peace of
the United States was expressed
by Representative Daniel A.
Reed, R., N. Y, who pointed out
that young men were less oppos-
ed to war than their elders. He
added that disturbed mothers
have written him that their sons
are anxious to go to war.
"If there's any leadership in
congress, it should be exercised
now to tell the people what war
means"
Hull, apparently aroused by re,
cent bombings in China and
Spain, told his press conference
that the bombing of civilians
should be strongly deplored by
all civilized nations and that he
hoped that ways would be found
