Dorothy Dix Says
Widowed Father Should Remarry
And Children Must Not Object

Here is your father who has spent
20 years of his life ministering to a
sick woman to whom he showed
every tenderness and kindness. She
died. A daughter comes to live
with him, but she is so intent on
her own pleasure that she does not
stay at home with him to bear him
company, or to even make him .
comfortable home Your father gets
tired of this way of living. He
wants companionship and somebody
TO keep house for him.
So he marries. Isn't 1t perfectly
natural thing for him to have done?
Wasn't 1t the sensible thing for him
to do? And don't you think that
you are terribly selfish in wanting
him to be lonely and neglected and
with nobody even to sew on a butt
ton for him, or rub his rheuma.
tism, just because you have a ro-
mantle idea that he should spend
the remainder of his life grieving
for your mother?
I think that you are treating your
father very cruelty and that you
should apologize to him on your
knees and be grateful to the woman
who married him, instead of regard
ing her as an enemy. AS for his
putting another woman in your
mothers place, that is nonsense.
Nobody can I'LL another's place, and
there is a vast difference between
the love a man gave the wife of
his youth and the one he marries
in his old age. DOROTHY DIX.

for the recordings from students OF
this university, indicating that word
of The Stars offer is being spread
about the campus.
The latest order to come from the

ed that the fraternity had author
lied him to obtain the complete set

Dear Miss Dix: We are seven
children, all married and very fond
of each other. Our mother died six
years ago after an illness of almost
20 years, during which time our
father was very good to her. He
would come home from hard days
work to spend all of his time and
strength in taking care Of her. We
cannot say too much Of his patience
and devotion to her. When mother
died one of our sisters went to live
with him, but, being young. she had
her circle of friends and left him
alone a great deal. Often at night
he would find her away and would
have to cook himself some supper.
He also had to get his own break
fast and lunches, as she didn't like
to get up early. Finally he started
to complain that he was tired of
being alone and eating alone and
that he needed companionship, but
we warned him not to get married
again, as we would never recognize
another woman in our mothers
place. But in spite of us he did
marry few years after mothers
death. We cannot forgive him for
doing it, SO we only 60 to his house
on Fathers Day or when he is i'll.
And when we 60 We do not speak
to his wife That angers dad and
he tells us that unless we can speak
to her we had better stay away.
Please let us know if father is justi-
fed in his attitude toward us.
DEPRESSED CHILDREN.
Answer-Of course. he Is. If he
has one spark of manhood in him,
he would be bound to demand that
you treat his wife with civility when
you come into the house that is as
much her house as it is his. In par
ticular has she right to expect
respect from you, as she is a lady
and you have nothing against her
except that she married your
father
You children are not children any
more. You are adult human beings.
You should be able to view the sit
uation calmly and clearly instead
of looking at it from a distorted
point of view, colored by jealousy
for your dead mother.

hit a building because of the pro-
portion of open space to built-up

OF the bombs which hit, about
half might glance off sloping
roofs and fail to penetrate. APP

bombs dropped probably would
cause fires.
The handbook shows how in
