We're Supposed
To Be Civilized

We may envy but we do not
steal; we may covet but do not
grab; we may have hate in our
hearts but we do not claw. At
least we, who are civilized. and
conform to the rules Of our
modern social lite, are rather
well behaved and no one would
accuse us of being SneakS and
liars because we put UP this
civilized front.
Dear Mr.. Antheil:
This is new to me, writing
to a column writer, but hope
you can help me. This is a very
FRANK letter.
It have been going with a
man for six months and we
plan to marry next spring. Pre-
viously I went for a couple years
with some one else-and the
latter part Of that time became
intimate with him. It was all
new to me-and he finally
gained consent. I knew later
that it was all hopeleSS-that
we would not be married-So I
told him 1 loved someone else
and stopped going with him.
Then I met the one and
only. He asked me to tell all
know that he never had such
relationship with anyone. The
thing iS-Should tell him? He
told me he could understand
when he asked me to tell him
but said nothing. This may
never come up-and he'll never
know. But if I tell him, it will
never leave his mind.
Il love him dearly. I know
I'm not worthy. but wouldn't it
spoil things for him if did tell?
You're a man-give me your
idea. How would you feel?

Check Up
On Attention

How often do you give your
undivided attention to your
children? How often do you
mentally drop away other
thoughts, close your minds doors
on chores and give your entire
attention to your child-to what
she may be saying, which re-
veals what she is thinking or
feeling at the moment? We do
this with older people, but many
of us never do it with our chill
dren. Yet they need it and
crave it.
When you give your undivided
attention to a child you give
something of yourself. and he
senses it. Many of the things
he has to tell you or show you
are important to him. They are
important to you often, too, in
revealing your child to you-if
you did but know it.
Sometimes you can give your
attention to your young compan-
ion when you are doing other
things that are quite mechan-
ical, like preparing vegetables or
sewing. But sometimes even
that gets in the way Of a real
communion of spirit.

Talk Although
You're Working

When you're having real
talk with your child, often
empty hands enrich it. To look
into your child's eyes, to see his
changing expression, to observe
how his posture and gestures re-
veal his inner self all sharpen
your awarenesS of him as a
person. 1t satisfies a need in
him, too, Where there are
other members Of a family al
ways at home, young or old, one
has to stage-manage sometimes
to give this sort Of attention to
q child.
OF course, these are only occa-
sional times. Lots of converse
ton is and should be casual,
carried on as you and the child
rem do other things. But inter
course has to be on a different,
quite special level.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-The real
income" of Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Consumer in June, despite the bud
ding business revival, was ! cent on
the dollar less than in May and "a
cents on the dollar lower than in June
1887. according to a monthly study of
what people get and spend made pub
lie here today by Investors Syndicate.
The decline in cash income in June
was cent on the dollar from that
Of May. Cash outgo remained un-
changed. June cash income was down
IS cents on the dollar from the same
month year ago. Cash outgo, or
living expenses, was down only 4
cents from June. 1887.
Just as general consuming capacity
experienced no real drop until after
the peak of business activity had been
passed last year." the consumers
study explains. budding revival may
not be quickly reflected In increased
ability of consumers to buy goods
and services.
Cash Income Off Is Cents.
within a year, June, 1888, to June,
1887, the amount of cash received by
the typical American household has
declined Is cents on the dollar. Where
a dollar was being received in wages
then, only IS cents Is received now.
The salary dollar at the end of June,
compared with the same time a
year ago. was SO cents, the dollar
from investments had become II
cents, and the dollar from other in
come sources, such as farm incomes
and royalties, had become 80 cents.
If composite consumer. deriving in
come from all sources IN proportion
to the national average. could be
imagined, for every dollar flowing to
him in June, 1887. only IS cents
trickled into his pockets in June,
1898.
This typical consumer, however,
continues to gain benefits from drop
ping prices. which give his fewer
dollars greater value in relation to
the articles and services he must buy.
For the first time in many months
rents in June, 1888. are only equal
to the levels prevailing in the same
month a year ago. Even last May
they were S10l on the dollar COM
pared with that month in the pre-
ceding year.
"Ninety-three cents during June
bought As much food as a dollar the
same 1887 month, 96 cents bought as
much clothing, and 95 cents bought
as much miscellaneous requirements
as would a dollar at the end of June,
1887.
Living Costs Drop.
Living costs at the start of July,
1898, were 96 cents compared with
81 at the same time year ago, but
cash income was only IS cents COM
pared with a dollar a year earlier.
which left the average consumer with
a buying power of 7s cents for each
dollars worth at his command in
the middle of 1887
THE difference between the cash
income of the average consumer, IS
cents at the start of July, 1888, against
81 a year earlier, and his cash outso,
96 cents against 81 q year earlier,
is his real income. of 78 cents. This
real income" Of. 78 cents is not a
mere subtraction Of cash income from
cash outgo, which would be an index
Of savings rather than real income,
but an average relative figure OF in

the cost of living affects the adjusted
