same duty incumbent upon her.
 If you want to make ''him" comfortable and happy, if he knows that is your intent, and that you work at it, no matter how far you miss the mark, due to physical ham dicaps, your failure will never be chalked up against you.
 I cannot prepare my husbands meals, no matter how much l would like to. But can make sure that his diet is well-balanced and that his health is safeguard ed. I can look after his clothes and see that they go regularly to the cleaners and to the laun- dry, check up on missing buttons and holes in the socks. I can keep the bathroom cabinet stocked with grooming accessories which will give him a semblance of comfort, can- and do-harrangue the man. agement until his shaving mirror is placed in the proper light.
 I can keep his tobacco jars filled with his favorite blends, order his papers delivered daily. pick up a few books and magazines he likes to read. I can respect his privacy. even in the limited space we live in. I can insist, too, up- on his getting his proper rest. I try to reduce the irritations which threaten his peace of mind.
 My credo, old-fashioned though it may be. is that every man has a right to expect the woman he marries to feel an active concern in his welfare. It doesn't matter whether he takes her to a trailer or . penthouse after the wedding

 Make no mistake-your uncon- scious mind, revealed in your dreams, speaks more truly than your wide-awake self of the things that really matter to you.
 Even the silliest dream may con- tain meaning which you should heed. You dream of mending brok- en objects? Perhaps your uncon- scious is urging you to make amends to 8 friend for that unkind act which has secretly troubled you.
 You dream consistently of your self dressed as a beggar? A feeling of insecurity, fear of poverty may be haunting you, even though you have laughed it away in your walk ing hours.
 You find yourself climbing lad der in your dream? Eager to go up in the world, perhaps you've been letting little things interfere with your ambition.
 Other dreams are as easy to read and interpret. Learn in our 32- page booklet the meaning of dream signs and symbols. How dreams throw light on problems that may secretly destroy your happiness.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of THE MEANING OF DREAMS to The Waterbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME. ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

Take me, I am an ofdcer," he
whispered hoarsely. Feverishly he
unbuttoned his overcoat to show us 4

CT the car and ran after the truck

Battle Staged in Air. .
Everybody on the road expected the
enemy aviation. They came finally
but were intercepted by loyalist planes.
We could hear the battle very dis
tinctly. the drone of motors and the
distant burst Of machine-guns, but
We saw only an occasional CLINT Of q
plane as it caught the sun and the
vertical smoke line In the sky where
the plane had gone down in flames.
At 10 O'Clock this morning, Is hours
after the debacle began, we saw the
first attempts made to check the
flight. A grim officer Of Carabinieros,
gripping revolver in one hand,
Wrenched open the door Of our car
and asked us where we were going.
He left us to 60 and stopped others
while other Carabinieros with rifles
ready stood by. Truck loads of fleeing
men were diverted into olive groves
and men began to dig trenches.
A machine gun was placed to cover
an open stretch Of ground where the
runaway soldiers might try to escape.
We heard q few isolated rifle reports,
but saw no one shot.
Internationals Arrive.

Germans Of an international brigade
stood on the side Of the road.

Near the road the Czechoslovakian

working quickly and eficiently.
At Gandesa we saw truckloads of
international brigade men, their faces
and hair powdered with white dust
Later we encountered some officers we
had met before. They were dabber-
gasted when We told them we were
still in Alcaniz at $3.50 o'clock that
morning. They informed us that
Italian tanks had reached the bridge
head and 1t was they who had speeded
our exit from town. But We never
saw them-we forgot to investigate.

EXPECTED DEATH
lust as ! Thought Says
SeadIund When Jury
Orders He Die.
Hy the Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March lit turned
out just as thought 1t would"
That was John Henry seadlund's
reaction today to Federal jury's de-
cision that he should pay with his life
for the $4,000 ransom kidnapping of
Charles S. Ross, 70, Chicago business
man.
Seadlund's comment was re-echoed
by many courtroom observers who
heard the kidnaper confess the crime
from the witness stand and saw Fed
eral prosecutors pile up . mass Of
evidence.
The jury was asked only to vote
on recommendation that Seadlund
be punished by death. The verdict
was reached last night after IL hours
Of deliberation.
Seadlund had pleaded guilty to kid
naping, but jury verdict was a pre-
requisite to the death penalty.
Unless the verdict is reversed at q
new trial, the 27-year-old former
Minnesota lumberjack will be electro
cuted in the Cook County (ChicagoD
Jaips electric chair. A motion for a
new trial will be heard Saturday.
Seadlund, who had expressed pref
erence for death rather thar q long
prison term, exhibited no emotion as
he described the details of the abduc-
ton.
He and James Atwood Gray seized
Ross September Is. 1887, and tleo to
hideout in the woods near Emily.
MINI. Subsequently $4,000 ransom
was paid vainly for his release.
After his arrest in Los Angeles jan
uary IA, Seadlund took Federal agents
to the hideout where most of the ran
som money was cached. Then he took
them to a dugout near Spooner, Wis.,,
where the bodies of Mr.. Ross and
Gray were found.
Seadlund will be the second kid
naper to die under the Iindbergh
law passed in 1882. Arthur Gooch
~, was hanged at McAlester, Okla,
in 1896 for kidnapping two Texas
officers.

Spe cial Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Grocery
chain sales volume should be main-
tanned at 1887 levels during the cur
rent year, according to Poor's Industry
& Investment Surveys.
Meanwhile. net income may we'll
improve somewhat. for the industry
will have the benefit of a more favor
able wholesale-retail price relation
ship. Long-term prospects are for q
continuation of the earnings stability
which typifles this retail field
Dollar sales of the grocery chain
industry recorded the smallest annual
gain of the recovery movement last
year." states the survey. This in
crease amounted to but is per cent,
although retail food prices were up
some 4 per cent for the year. This
situation reflected increasing unem-
ployment in industrial centers and
poor general business conditions
throughout the country.
While sales volume may we'll de-
cline for some months yet. the indus
try's earnings should not be seriously
affected. Profit margins are benefit
ing from more rapid decline in
wholesale food costs than is taking
place in retail prices. As 4 matter Of
fact. If the anticipated second-half
improvement in general business con-
ditions is not accompanied by an
abrupt rise in wholesale prices, grocery
chains should report at least as good
earnings this year as in 1887.
"Bullish from the longer-term view-
point Is the fact that the industry
today is in much stronger physical
condition than ever before Mean
while. the process of substituting large
efficient stores and supermarkets in
choice locations for smaller scattered
units continues This action is re-
ducing the overhead of the chains
without sacrifice of sales volume
Chain store taxes continue to be a
burden, but it appears that such
measures have reached a peak"
