thing is, it cannot last forever. So
it was with the hunting season for
Lightfoot the Deer. There came a

District A. A. A. Manager
Hits Tax Diversion Bill

Washington I. Cleveland, man.
ager of the District division of the
American Automobile Association,
called on automobile owners yester-
day to protest passage of a con-
gressional measure introduced by
Representative Jennings Randolph
Of West Virginia designed to in
crease the gasoline tax cent q
gallon and divert the sum thus
gained to the general fund Of the
District.
Mr.. Cleveland said diverting high
way funds is contrary to congress
sional policy and would automatical-
ly subject the District to the penalty
Of losing one-third of its share of
the Federal aid highway fund,
which would amount to more than
100000.
Mr.. Cleveland urged equitable tax
alton and said that If the Randolph
measure is passed 1t will mean an
additional So a year in average tax
cost to the motorist for things from
which he derives no more benefit
than the man who does not own
an automobile.

This explanation was given by
John A. Marshall, director of the

the present time, it is impossible for
any worker to receive credit for 260

Include LOCATING
Chairs for All
Customers
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: There has
been some controversy in my Office
about the duties of my secretary
Or any secretary for that matter.
Recently when two men came into
my Office asked my secretary
to get another chair as we have
only one chair normally for visitors
since the Office is small. I have
since discovered that she resented
being asked to get the chair and
said that this was going too far.
Answer think this answer de-
pends, Of course, upon the manner
in which you asked her. That is,
II you ordered h4r to bring q
chair, as If it were her duty In
life to do so, she might have re-
sented your manner. If you asked
her in perfectly courteous tone
Of voice, Miss Smith, do you think
you could find a chair for Mr..
Jones?" and she resented it, think
I would get another secretary, not
especially because finding chairs
is listed in her special duties but
1t Is certainly IN her special in
terest in her job to help make
the contact between you and your
customers as smooth as possible.
To leave a customer standing in
front Of your desk with nowhere
to sit is. it seems to me. just as
rude on her part as she can possibly
think 1t was rude on your part
to ask her to demean herself by
finding q chair. In other words,
those who are so afraid they are
going to lower their social status
by showing a little kindness and
consideration are not the sort of
people that myself would ever want
to employ, nor the sort OF employe
that I myself would want to be,
If the situation were on the other
foot. But again, as I've already
said, I've no idea Of the manner
in which you asked her and the
fault might have been entirely
yours.

today. Or why pleasures we once
enjoyed have palled upon us. Or
why the people we thought so bril-
liant and interesting come to bore US.
Furthermore. when once love dies
it is the deadest thing in all the
world. There is nothing you can
do about it except just accept the
situation with what courage and
philosophy you can and quit vast
ing your time and energy trying to
blow dead ashes into flame.
Your wife left you for no reason
at all except that she just lost her
taste for you. Nothing you did or
left undone had anything to do with
1t. A woman doesn't cease to love
her husband because he is working
night and day to make a living for
her and her child. She loves him
all the more for it.
Nor does a woman fall out of love
with her husband because he is
not Clarke Gable. Mighty few
American men possess the technique
of a great lover. If all wives left
their husbands because they took
them for granted and said it with
beefsteaks instead of orchids, the
country would be filled with divor-
Gees.
Be that as it may, however, If
you are still bound and determined
to get your wife back, you will have
to alter your tactics. You are being
too humble. You are making q door
mat of yourself and she can't resist
giving you another kick as long
as you are down. Get up and have
some backbone. Tell her that you
are going to divorce her for desertion
and that you are going to demand
the custody of the child, as you have
done nothing to forfeit your right
to him. That will throw a scare
into her.
Don't overpersuade her to come
back to you. That will bring you
no happiness unless she comes Of
her own accord and because she
wants. to. It would be torture to
you If you knew that she was only
doing 1t because she thought it her
duty and that she loathed you and
was bored by your society.

A Psychiatrist
for
This Child
Difficult Situation
That an Expert
Must Handle
BY ANGELO PATRI.

-
MY daughter Helen, 13 years old,
Is a disturbing influence in the fam
lily. She is next to the youngest of
four children. The others are easy
to get along with, not that they are
perfect, either, but certainly they
are not like Helen.
Nothing pleases Helen. Her new
dress is not as good as her sisters,
although she selected it herself. She
didn't get fair chance in the game,
although she was given the handi-
cap she asked for, and treated gen.
erously all through. She grumbles
about us all and says we never think
about her feelings, only about our
own, although she does not allow us
to think about anything or anybody
but her, so persistent is her Crouch
ing.
THE same report comes from
school. She does her work to a pass
ing standard, and a little more. But
she Is very unhappy and makes
everybody else miserable. She is the
one dark spot in our home. Would a
visit to a psychoanalyst help her?"
One visit to specialist would do
no good. He could not do more than
see the surface Of a child in one
visit. The services Of such an ex-
pert are very expensive because they
must be rendered through a long
period Of time, as a usual thing. One
essential to good results Is the full
cooperation of the patient, and that
requires time and patient study on
the experts part. And real psyche
analysts are scarce and hard to find.
Apart from those difficulties there
Is this one. The human mind is q
mystery even to the experts. Strange
and terrible forces dwell in it and
unless the analyst is expert, excep-
tionally skilled, exceptionally ex-
perienced, harm to the patient is
more likely to result. Everybody
who calls himself an expert in the
field Of mental health is not exactly
that in practical sense. Better try
to build up the physical health of the
child first, better have the family
doctor, and the child specialist who
have devoted their lives to the
treatment of ailing children see what
they can do. Add to their strength
the understanding Of the exper-
fenced, able teacher, and there is
every possibility that this child can
be helped. Unless there is mental
illness. disease, treatment will soon
cure the trouble. If there is such ILL
ness the psychiatrist can take
charge, still aided by the doctor, the
child specialist and the teacher.
The first step in such a situation
Is to win the child to wish to be diff
ferent. This is something that the
group Of experts I have listed are
usually able to do. The family is
rarely able to accomplish this be-
cause they have not the power of
stimulation to win applause that the
outsiders. these people clothed with
authority, have for such a child.
The family does not applaud, and
when they try the patient feels their
effort and discounts 1t. Strangers
always can do more.
Often we find that there is some
physical defect at the root of the
behavior. Sometimes we find that
there is q clash of personalities in
the family and this badly adjusted
child would do better apart from
them for time. Absence brings re-
lief to everybody concerned and
hastens the cure.

Dorothy Dix Says
Stern Methods Sometimes Most
Effective in Winning Back Wife

Dear Miss DIX: We have been
married little more than five years
and have fine 3-year-old boy. Be-
cause Of our insufficient income and
the need Of more money I took on
night work in addition to my Job
soon after the baby was born, with
out realizing that I was taking time
that I should have spent with my
wife. Also I am reserved man
and failed to tell my wife how much
I loved her and admired her. /
simply took her for granted.
When the baby was about 8
months old she told me that she
didn't know why, but she was grow
ing cold toward me. Later on she
left me and went back to her mother,
saying she had to get away and get
perspective on our marriage. Since
she has been gone I have been
studying up on the marriage rela-
tionship and realize that without
knowing it I must have been stupidity
selfish and inconsistent. I have told
her that I am aware of this and
that I will be changed man If she
comes back. But she turns a deaf
ear to my pleas to return to me.
If she decides on a divorce should
I consent in the hope that a later
reconciliation can be made? Or
should I make a final plea for q
trial reconciliation? Or should I
try to persuade her to return and
maintain separate residence so
that we can both see the boy and
trust that time will finally bring us
together? worship my wife and
boy, and life without them is not
worth living. RICHARD.
