Armstrong ScowIs
As Arabs Prep
For BrawIeyI {.

Coach Robert Armstrong wore his
best scowl this week as lie El Cen
tro junior college basketball team
ran through practice sessions in
preparation for the annual cage
feud with BraWley jaycees, which
will open on Friday night.
The junior college mentor scowl'
ed because his charges failed TO
function smoothly in practices, due
principally to the loss of Joe Ed
wards, high scoring forward.
Edwards quit school to 90 to work
Armstrong reported Wednesday,
and his abser"e cut the offensive
power of the Arab quintet in half.
Brawley jaycees Will be heavy
favorites to defeat El Centro be-
cause of a superior record and be-
cause El Centro will be playing
without the services of Edwards.

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands Demand and Deserve
Some Personal Freedom

stay downtown for dinner, or spend
any money without giving an ac-
count of it. Or even to worship
God according to the dictates of his
own conscience if his conscience and
Friend Wife's conscience do not run
in the same line.
Wives justify themselves by saying
that they are only trying to take
care of their husbands health, and
keep them from wasting their
money by lending it to impecunious
old friends Furthermore, that when
a man has been downtown all day
he should spend his evenings in the
bosom of his family, and that If
you give a husband an inch he
will take mile, and that if he feels
that he doesn't have to punch the
home time clock there is no telling
how long he will stay out.
OF course, the argument has its
points, but the trouble is that when
wife constitutes herself as her
husbands jailer she not only in
spires in him the feeling we all
entertain toward our jailers, bu;
she also fills him with such a fran
tic longing for freedom that he
breaks out of his prison, even if he
has to smash all of the bars of the
law and conventions and moralities
to achieve it.
Hence I contend that the wives
who keep their husbands under lock
and key make great mistake, and
that there would be fewer husbands
who regard their wives as ball
and chain if their feet were free
to take a few independent steps
Also, that more men would stay
at home of evenings If they knew
they didn't have to stay.

AGAIN. are really lovely and look
quite a bit of blue and some green,
too, and you'll also find black
trimmed with red-an important
style note this year. The interest
ing thing about woods is that they
are quite fussy in many instances.
Gone is the time when we think
of wool only as sport fabric, for
detailing, trimming and style makes
them suitable for almost any occa-
sion. Sheer woods such as the black
dress with bright red jacket are
very dressy and smart. incidentally,
watch this use of black and red.
You will find it in crepes, too. We
saw one black dress with red panels
down the front and another with
tiny piping of the color on the
sleeves.
New Sleeve Length
Very Popular.
The new sleeves in fall clothes
are flattering and we'll liked by al
most every one. You've probably
seen this length, which comes about
halfway between wrist and elbow,
and is complete with shirring and
other detailing. It's very smart and
new looking, and you'll find it on
great many of the models.
Several other fabrics have not
appeared to any great extent as
yet, but they will undoubtedly come
in for their share of popularity. We
have reference to velveteen, which,
although featured for college, does
not usually become news locally
until around football time. Velvet
is now being shown, but is another
material that becomes popular lit
tie later. incidentally, we can tell
you that most of the new procesSed
velvets will boast applique and en-
broidery. They're very good looking,
so watch for them. And then there's
our old friend jersey, which made
such a name for itself during the
summer. Unfortunately, the shops
are not yet featuring it, but there
have been demands, and we have
an idea that in short while there
will be plenty of jerseys on the
scene. More than likely, however,
they will be wool jerseys instead of
the silk variety we wore during the
summer.
So there you are with picture
of the fall styles. Extreme, but
youthful" was the phrase used by
one buyer and we feel inclined to
agree, for all the new dresses have
a terrific amount of fashion interest
plus an adequate amount of wear
ability. And who could ask for
more?

Ca1esthenics
Men Should
TakeDaily
To Retain Normal
Waistline Start
At Twenty-Five
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t seems that American men at
last realize they cannot retain their
youthful attractiveness after the
25th year, without adopting an &C
tive sport for hobby or resorting to
corrective exercises. More and more,
men are writing physicians and
beauty editors inquiring about ex-
ercises to correct this or that figure
defect, or for exercises which will
help them retain their vigor and
health. Too many have reached 80
to find that a corporation" is
visible and their pep lags!
1t stands to reason that men who
have desk or table occupations. who
are denied the physical activity of
outdoor work, cannot hope to keep
health up to par by an occasional
day of exercise. Just as women
need corrective exercises daily to
retain health and loveliness, so do
men require from 10 to Is minutes
of mat movements each day unless
they are able to walk two or three
miles, or keep at competitive game
such as squash, tennis, bowling or
golf.
AS we grow older it becomes all
too easy to take as little exercise
as possible, so we must deliberately
choose to exercise if we wish to
enjoy its benefits. No groaning or
signing when you get down on the
carpet to kick and roll to muscle
suppleness! Take your exercise in
good spirit, for it Is needed to keep
the heart and lungs in prime con-
dition, to keep the circulation active,
to improve digestion and elimination
and to preserve an attractive
posture which in itself is an in
surance for better health.
But the man who is older, and
not well, should under no circum-
stances throw himself energetically
into an exercise routine without first
seeking the approval of his physi-
clan. 1t may be all right, but then
again he may have to take to ex-
ercising gradually if his condition
is much below normal. However,
young men should begin during
their 25th year and keep up the
routine for the years to come.
A mans vanity is certainly
touched if you speak about his ex-
panding midriff! He'll tell you it's
the cut of his trousers that gives
you the allusion that a corporation
is appearing! Or he'll have another
excuse Actually the waistline is the
part of his physique he should
watch. He will keep in better health
if he will keep that measurement
down! And strange as it seems,
the exercises planned to slim the
waistline seem the most unbearable
to him. Can you get him to touch
his toes every morning for so times?
The following exercise. If done
regularly will help keep his shoul-
ders straight, his waistline normal
and his upper arms strong. But
it must be done 10 times every single
day:
Sit on the floor, lean slightly
backward and brace yourself with
your hands-feet and legs straight
Lift waist and hips of floor up
ward excepting body straight) rest
ing only on palms and heels. Re-
turn to sitting position. For the
first few days you probably will
not be able to get the heavy hips
of the floor. but keep trying, 1t can
be done.

Whenever I write anything about
husbands having a right to an oc-
casional evening out, same as the
servant, I get letters of protest
from wives, so vituperative and
sizzling hot that they curl my hair.
They call me homeWrecker. a
first aid to divorce. an abettor of
men in sin, and accuse me of being
an enemy to my sex and inciting
husbands to rebellion.
Such is far from my intention.
In suggesting that wives should give
their husbands freely and voluntar-
lily and because they are entitled
to it a modicum of freedom, l am
not trying to wreck marriages. but
to build them up. For I truly be-
heve that the tyranny that so many
wives exercise over their husbands
is why there are SO many restless,
disillusioned, disgruntled men in the
holy estate.
His personal liberty is the thing
that is dearest to every man on
earth. y 1t is what he will fight for

him of it all life has lost SAVIOR.
There would never be another we'd
ding if the bridegroom realized that
when he signed on the dotted line he
was selling himself into slavery and
that thereafter he would have no
more control of his own activities
than poodle on leash. The
enamored lover never dreams that
as soon as Little Angel Face has
him tied tight and fast that she
will take possession of his life and
run it for him. That never again
will he be. free to come and go

if he slept up out of the floor drafts.
Can you suggest any place we might

presume there are large baskets,
made to order but why not build q
little platform raised off the floor
about inches on feet and with a
rim about 3 inches high that would
hold cushion? This is all he really
needs and you can build it to his

IT don't think I'm too young
mother. You were only 10 when you
were married. Seventeen isn't SO
young"
THAT depends. When I married
your father he was % and I was
past 10. He had a good job and had
been working in it for three years
Your intended husband is not out
OF school and has never earned q
dollar on his own in his life"
But, mother"
'It's my turn. I've heard your
story for three months and it doesn't
sound any more convincing today
than in the beginning. You are in
first year of college. You are not
full grown either in body or mind
You know little or nothing about q
house, you can't order and cook q
meal, you don't know how to budget
your expenses. You are not fit to
head household or mother a fam
lily. Neither of you is prepared to
do your duty as married people. The
whole affair looks about as visionary
a scheme as ever I saw or heard
There is plenty Of time for you both
to grow up. Plenty of time to change
your minds. 1t is better to change
them now than afterward, when you
have a couple of children"
But you don't understand. We
don't intend to have children. We
intend to get married and go to
school as usual. What's the mat
ter with that?"
where do you intend to hve?'
why here, of course"
And your father and I support
two of you? Maintain two house
holds? Will you please tell me why
my husband should maintain yours?
I think a man who assumes head
ship for household ought to sup
port it. If he does not intend to do
so he ought not to mention it. Most
marriages result in a family. The
fact that you can say so blithely that
you are going to have no children
indicates that you don't know what
you are talking about. What you
mean is no marrige.
Marriage is for grown up, re-
sponsible men and women. You
talk and behave like a child. Your
husband is poor And he has no
training for work, and no job. Are
you prepared to help him get a job
do your share of the work, gladly?
Will you wash and iron, cook and
clean, scrub and polish the floors,
make the beds, wash the windows,
make your clothes, live on little or
nothing until you can do better?
Gladly? Are you willing TO live in
couple OF rooms in poor neigh
borhood and take things as they
come for the years of apprenticeship
this marriage will mean? Or do you
plan on living comfortably here ir
my house, your fathers home, un.
til fortune comes to you?"
II think you are very mean
You've got enough money to keer
us both. You know can't get mar
ried if I have to do that way. Mel
wouldn't want me to work, and be
poor, and all that How could II"
That's what I thought. You
couldn't. So you'd better go tc
school and, in the meantime, Learn
how to manage house, do its work
live on tiny budget, and do your
share of the working and the saving
and the sacrifice. Marriage isn't a
lark, my daughter It's a lifetime
job on small salary It's something
you dedicate your life to. and as ]

Is it possible to install folding

feasible idea. Or you might use a

that if the door is left open the
