Dear Mr.. Antheil: Being a
man, perhaps you can help me.
Until about six months ago, I
was a social butterfly. I had
plenty of boy friends, parties
and more dates than I could
keep. The reason was popular
was because ! let the boys park
and neck. 1t seemed the easiest
way but, of course, never did
anything actually wrong.
Il got wise to myself and
realized I was treading the
wrong road to the altar. I
adopted a new policy. Instead
of necking l decided l would
keep the boys interested by
means of conversation. Is my
method a success?
mo, it has turned out to be
q perfect flop. I have very few
dates now. When I have a new
date he rarely calls again be-
cause I won't neck. Why do
men scorn those girls who try
to be good?
You men complain that the
reason you do not marry is be-
cause you can not find any nice
girls. If we girls are wild and
reckless, it is simply because you
make us that way. I want fun
and companionship. I am get
tins fed up sitting at home
twiddling my thumbs night after
night. My conscience is clear
but no fun.

Dear Miss Blake:


1t crept upon me so uniquely.
My Sunday school class gave
an excursion down the Potomac.
The boat was crowded but I was
bashful and there were so many
beautiful girls on board that I
couldn't speak. But finally on
seeing two girls apart from the
others I went over and sat down.
They Immediately drew me into
a conversation that made me
feel at ease. One Of the girls
was especially attractive to me,
and we became attached to each
other.
One day after meeting her

parents, I told her that I was
going to have a business talk
with her mother. My girl said,
you'd better fix things with
me first" So did. She is a
peach of a wife, and the other
girl visits us often.
Sincerely,
J.E. R., City

Stdr

Morning and afternoon lean
toward the worrying sides-and
worry doesn't help; so don't
listen to false pessimism,
whether from within yourself
or from other people. Later
hours bring a more even dis
tribution of logic and feeling.
Planetary Cycles
When a planet comes around
it's cycle, returning to the same
place, the Identical same condi-
tions are not duplicated. This
is because we are under all the
planetary rays at once, and very
few cycles are completed at the
same time. This in turn is be-
cause of the different speeds
of the various planets around
the circle of the zodiac. They
affect both men and nations.

Three Periods
In Girls Life
Dear Mr.. Antheil: 1 have
been reading your interesting
articles. l bet more than one
woman has sighed and whis-
pered to herself, 1t would be
wonderful to be married to
man like that
After all, a man on the
'Woman'S Pige' solving all those
problems most dear to her heart
are as essential as the cream
in her coffee. In the feminine
world, Mr.. Antheil, you are
tonic, sometimes hard to take
but good for what ails you.
Blessed with a milllon-dollar
smile and a good disposition, I
have had admirers ever since
I entered my teens. Unfor-
tunately my proposals have
been from the wrong men. With
one it was a difference in re-
ligion, with another drinking
and another gambling.
Il have had several big
brushes which died a natural
death or I was rushed off my
feet because I did not know how
to take it easy. Being a wiser
girl at Is I have learned a fire
is easier to forget than a glow.
Life is a struggle when one must
always be hopping out of a
bandbox, turning on the charm
and kindling an affair. It is
worth the struggle if one finds
a companionable chap worth
loving and living with, then
having security and babies. We
know it is.

Per Schedule

Yours has been an orderly
life because you went through
the various phases of growth in
an orderly, sane fashion. I hope
you may take the last stride of
husband keeping" with gallant
colors. But don't stop hopping
out of the bandbox. If there
is anything that makes a mans
heart glow-and husbands are
no exception-is to see a girl
step out, daintily fresh and shin
ing and bright as a new penny.

Bif1e, secretary to the majority, are
expected to continue in those posts.
The Senate is continuing body and
ordinarily these positions require no
formal action, except when there Is q
change in party control.
The Democrats have one caucus
position to fill, namely, secretary Of
the party conference. which was held
by former Senator Black Of Alabama,
now an associate justice Of the Su-
preme Court.
The defeat Of Senators Pope of
Idaho, Hitchcock Of South Dakota and
Berry of Tennessee in this years
primaries leaves a number OF vacancies
on major committees Other COM
mittee vacancies will exist as q result
of the decision of Senators Reames
of Oregon, Dieterich of Illinois and
Milton of New Jersey not to run.
Even though the Democrats organize
without discord. however, once the
session gets under way sharp differ
ences in their ranks probably will
develop over New Deal objectives as
in the last session.

SENATE IS FACING
COMMITTEES TASK
Choice of Commerce Unit
Head Is Most important
Post to Be Filled.
By ], A, O'LEARY.

Changes in committee assignments
probably will be the major task con-
fronting Senate Democrats in organ
izing that body in the new Congress.
Without counting any upsets that
may occur on election day in Novem-
ber, there already are eight seats to
be filled by new members as the re-
suit of defeats in the primaries, de-
cisions not to run and death.
AS the situation now stands, the
most important posts to be filled are
the craftsmanship of the Commerce
Committee, left vacant by the death
of Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York, and the Craftsmanship of the
Committee of Patents, heretofore held
by Senator McAdoo, who was beaten
In California's Democratic primary.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, who disagreed with the ad-
ministration on some of the New Deal
program, has first call on the Com
merce Craftsmanship, since Senator
Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, rank
ing member of the Commerce Com
mittee, has made known he prefers to
remain chairman of Military Affairs
No Fight on Leader Due.
II Mr. Bailey heads the Commerce
Committee another Craftsmanship
would be left open on the Claims Com
mittee.
Senator Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, the ranking member of the
a ho
important Committee on Agriculture,
making Senator Bone, Democrat, of
Washington next in line on Patents.
The death of Senator Copeland also
leaves an opening in the Craftsmanship
of the subcommittee in charge of War
Department appropriations, but this
post will be filled from the Appropri-
ations Committee, and is not part
of the Senate organization program.
There are no indications at the
Capitol now that any effort will be
made by anti-New Dealers to change
the leadership, and administration
supporters expect Senator Barkley of
Kentucky to continue as chairman of
the Democratic Conference, which
makes him majority floor leader.
Lewis Due to Remain Whip.
Although Senator j. Hamilton Lewis
of Illinois had expected to relinquish
the post of Democratic whip, it was
indicated today he will be urged to
continue on that assignment.

 An accident on Thomaston avenue resulted in the arrest yesterday af- ternoon of Anthony l.. Pinto, A, of 1639 Thomaston avenue, on 8 charge of failure to grant the right of way. Sefgt.

SOCIETY DOCTOR
 TAKES REVENGE
kidnaps, TOrtures Seducer of Wife Life Sentence
 Faces Him

Olympia, Wash, Move. 28.-(UP). -Dr. Kent w. Berry, 50, society physician, who avenged himself out side the law on the man he accused of seducing his young wife, regarded the probability of life Imprisonment philCsophically today. .ze told the jury which convicted him of kidnap- ing and assault that 1t had done "the best" it could.
 The jury also convicted the three men Berry hired to help him kid- nap and torture Irving E. Baker, former coast guard officer. It rec commended leniency, so Berry will escape the death sentence which the Washington kidnap law carries. He will be sentenced soon to life iin- prisonment.
 Jealous Old Fool
 The state called Berry 8 Jealous old fool" maintained that his acc cuSation of Baker was ilnjustifield. Berry had taken Baker to a gravel pit wherc he tried to ernasculate him with a pair of pliers.
 Robert s. Smith, William Mac Aloon and James Reddick were con- victed with him.
 Berry, consoling his wife who ran to him after the jury reported yes terday, shouted to reporters:
 "T11e whole thing is a frameup. The authorities would not permit me to swear out a warrant against Baker, and told me to take matters into my own hands. Of course I'll appeal"
 While Mrs. Berry, 27, wept on his shoulder, an unidentified courtroom spectator rushed forward and threw her arms around his neck, crying.
 Berry May Appeal
 Berry indicated that he would ap- peal because the cour+ specified that the "unwritten law" had no bear ing on the case, and on the premise that the abduction of Baker was not Kidnapping under Washington law because no ransom was asked.
 Smith testified that he kept the doctor from using his scalpel on Baker. He had hoped for second degree assault conviction only, the maximum penalty for which is a 10- year prison term. The jury convict ed him of both assault and kid- naping.
 Reddick, a taxi driver, and Mac Aloon, town marshal, were sup- piled public defenders and tiieir ap- peals depend on the courts granting state funds for them. They were convicted of first degree assault.
 Sentence was expected within two weeks. All defendants have been held in $25 ,000 cash bail.

The great masses of mankind had ceased to believe, ceased to hope, ceased to dream The sense of disillusion- ment and despair rested like pail on the land. But in the midst of that darkness there were those who saw ray of hope, there were those who cherished the greatest hope the world has ever known. The pagan religions had aimed to make men feel at home in their world and they had failed. The new faith which was about to burst upon the world was to teach that God would shatter the old world order and re- build it anew.

Birth Certificate
 Substantiates Claim
l5-Year-Od Burglar Suspect to Be Released From
 Jail Pending Juvenile Court Hearing

A birth certificate was displayed in city court today by Attorney George Lynch to prove that Frank BarroS, colored, of q Water street who was bound over to the January criminal term of superior court last Wednesday and who is now in the New Haven county jail, is only IS years of age and had been jailed H. legally. He had been listed in court records as 16.
 Judge Edward Mascolo today granted a motion to reopen the case and ordered that Barros be released from jail and returned to this city. The youth will now be turned over to juvenile court authorities.
 Barfos was one of five youths Ar- rested 10 days ago by police after a probe of IS house burglaries about the city. Barros and three others listed as over 16 were bound over, while the fifth youth, who is IS, will have his case disposed of in juvenile court.
 Under the state statutes, anyone under 16 can be charged only with incorrigibility. The most severe sen- tence 8 juvenile can receive is one to state training school.
 Attorney Lynch claimed last week that Barros was not yet 16, and an investigation was ordered. Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer, reported that school depart tnent records listed Bafros as be- ing IS. The youth was accordingly arraigned on burglary charge, probable cause was found and he was bound over. Unable to post bonds of $1,000, he was taken to New Haven county jail to await trial.
 Attorney Lynch, however, contin-
