Manners
of the
Moment

Radios have really become a
marital problem during these last
few years q problem Of real
dimensions. I think they might put
In some courses in current college
curricula on how to behave in front
of radio, or how my grandmother
learned music.
Anyhow, here's one Of the prob
lens. When one likes it loud, and
one likes 1t soft, what do you do?
Personally, I think the one who
likes 1t soft should win out every
time. It's a less anti-social taste.
But to be fair to the one who likes
It loud, suggest that he be given
an hour a week for blasting it to
his hearts content. The other one
could go to the park for that hour.
But another suggestion, with
Christmas not so far of, is a set
of ear phones. They must have
them still. And they ought to do the
trick. There's not much else to be
done for the lover of loud radio
noises. except to equip him with a
padded soundproof cell. JEAN.

Dear Miss Dix: I dearly love my
mother and my mother-in-law, and
I would hate to do anything that
would hurt their feelings, but I
simply can't bring myself to name
my little girl baby after either one
Of them because both of them have
perfectly hideous names. Do you
think it is my duty to call my child
a name that sets my teeth on edge
every time I hear 1t just to please
one Of them?
YOUNG MOTHER.
Answer: Indeed I don't. I con-
slider 1t an unforgivable crime to
aflict any poor helpless little babe
with an ugly name just to f1atter a
vain old woman.
Furthermore, consider that if you
do so, you are Just adding another
link to the chain of ear-rasping
names that future generations will
have to carry on, for II your little
Mahitable or whatever she is called,
has to be named for her grand
mother, Mahitable's children will
have to be named for her, and so
ad inflnitum. So break the chain
and emancipate future generations.
There is no more sense in per-
petuating an ugly family name than
there would be in carrying on any
other family affliction if you could
eradicate it. You wouldn't wish the

Corrective
Exercises
FOrBack
ADowager's s Hump
Disappears With
Daily Routine
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

According to OenmArkS famous
physical director. Neils Bukh, .
"dowager's hump is not restricted
to dowagers, but Is frequently seen
on middle.ased persons and ac-
tually begins to form when one Is
very young.
This bump of fat that grows at
the base Of the neck is q serious
defect and should be corrected
through dilisent exercising. To be
very technical about it. it is an ex-
aggeration of the cervical curve and
is closely connected with a forward
bending Of the head. Those who
have . dowager's hump are quite
likely to have also q round upper
back and q nat chest.
Before you begin this series Of
blended exercises be sure your neck
and shoulders are relaxed. Stretch
them any way you wish to relax
them.
/. Turn your head slowly to either
side 10 times.
2. Bend the head slowly forward
10 times, trying to touch chest with
the chin.
3. Bend the head slowly backward
10 times until q decided pull" is
felt in the neck and shoulders.
4. Bend the head sideways 10
times, directly to the side and rs
deeply as possible.
5. Sit on the floor and grasp hands
around knees. Stretch your back
and pull body close to your knees.
Then bend head backward and for
ward. The bending forward should
be done as high rs possible (stretch
neck upward first); the bending
backward should be done as low
as possible. (Shorten neck before
bending backward)
8. With body resting on floor, face
down, bend knees and clasp ankles
with hands. Bend the arms to get
q strong upper back stretching. Re-
lax arms. Bend arms again.
Repeat exercises 5 and 6 fivl
times the first day and increase one
time each following day up to 10
times.

Helpless Boy
Subject to
TauntS
Specialist Needed
When He Cannot
Fight Back
By ANGELO PATRI.

everybody mas met tne uCCle OOy
who cannot hold his own among
the others on the playground. It
seems that there is always one In
every group. His presence is dis
covered by the other boys about
the end of the first recess, and from
then on his life is miserable.
The other boys pick on him re-
lentlessly. They call him names
and taunt him to see whether he
will come back at them. He doesn't.
He backs of, threatening them. in
tears, and they howl with unholy
joy and chase him into his own
dooryard.
In vain his mother says, why
don't you pitch into them? Why
don't you give it back to them?
Why do you run away? OF course
they won't like you If you are a
cry baby and a coward. Stand up
to them. That's all they want"
One might as well advise a spar
row to swim out of reach of the
cat. This child is not able to fight
back and he cannot help himself
in the least. He feels within him.
self an empty place where the
fight ought to be and he cannot
express that feeling save in tears.
Don't worry him about what he
can't help, and don't force him in
to a fight. He hasn't got the
power that fight takes and will
only come to grief compounded.
Have the child examined by a
children's specialist, preferably by
one who is associated with a chill
dren's hospital. Ask for the one
who understands about the glands
Of little boys, and see what he
can do. And have the childs eyes
tested. Go over his body carefully
in an effort to learn what he lacks
to make him equal to the others.
There are some boys who are
quite all right in these respects;
glands function: sense organs are
perfect; nutrition is normal; no
disease, no unusual condition, but
gifted with q temperament that
does not allow for aggression.
These boys are usually quite in
different to the taunts Of the others
and 90 their way cheerfully. They
have interests that are unusual in
boys. Some Of them like to de-
sign ladies dresses; some enjoy
study, or collecting, and are quite
self-contained. Their mother and
father are worried by the lads
indifference to standard boy life,
but the boy goes his way. He is
not helpless and he rarely needs
any attention beyond the usual
oversight. But the other sort, the
helpless ones who cannot fight, who
cannot play alone, and who are
not accepted by the rest, are in
great need Of medical and educa-
tional help. And home support.
It is not wise, nor kind, to force
. frightened child to 60 to school
alone when he fears . foe behind
every post and tree, and especially
when his fears are 10 likely to be
justified. Escort him to and from
school. Or get some older boy to
befriend him and take his part
until such time as he is either ig-
nored by the gang or proof against
their abuse.
Such children suffer keenly. Their
fears robs them Of what power they
might have in school work. Their
health suffers from the strain. Soon
they lose their appetites and broken
sleep brings them scant relief. Tell
ing them how cowardly they are
adds to their burden without
strengthening them any. Take
them promptly to the specialist
and try to follow his directions.

nobody in the family objects to this,

usually grownup for her age. II my

Prom my judgment Of my own
sex, Joe Is . right guy; that is, he
10 intelligent, mannerly and good
natured, and treats Sis ike . lady.
He seems pretty much gone on her,
and she likes him. But-Joe Is q
tightwad, or 70 It seems, and for
this he'll be losing his girl If he
isn't careful.
MY sister is not . sold-digger
by any means; in fact, she is the
kind of person who gives much and
takes nothing in return. But she
does think it strange that Joe never
takes her to the movies, football
games or things like that.

'True, now and then Joe does take
her dancing, or they go for . ride
and stop in for hot dogs and sodas
This, however, happens rarely. He
seems to think that all he should
do Is take Sis for q ride or else to
his married sisters home, where
they sit and talk of nothing.

take 1t on the chin like that, hardly
ever letting whimpcr out of her

but one of these days Joe will be

will spend little. And Joe will be
losing a prize package. Sis has
many admirers, both girls and boys
Quite a few Of the boys are only
too eager to take her out. Pretty
soon she'll be taking the offers, be-
cause she is getting tired Of going
no place and doing nothing, even
though she does think Joe is nice.
1T is not that Joe has no money
because he has a good job and earni
enough to take a girl out. BY al
his actions he shows that he think,
q lot Of her, but II he does, can yol
explain to me why he acts this way
about money?
IF some one doesn't tell him
something soon, will If you think
this is right. I don't like to poke
into other peoples affairs, but where
Sis Is concerned it Is altogether dif-
ferent.

Humorous, Pleasant Rotary Ladies
Night Tonight At Hotel La Concha

Annual Ladies Night of the
Key West Rotary Club will be
held tonight at 7:30 at the Hotel
La Concha Rainbow Room, with
President Ernest Ramsey presid-
ing.
Each year near the end of the
winter season the Rotary Club
plans its Ladies Night banquet
for Rotary AIMS and escorts of
unmarried Rotarians. A Rotary
Ann, for the uninitiated, is the
wife of a Rotarian.
The evening is one of exceed
ing merriment Just as the
Rotary Club in its weekly lunch
con promotes the best of fellow
ship and humor among its men,
bership of the leading business
men of the city in their roles of
community and international
service, so are the Ladies Nights
typical of this good humor.
Rather formidable in the pro-
gram are official business ses-
sions but Rotarians and Rotary
AIMS who have attended these
affairs know just what to ex-
pect when the business comes
around. Newcomers are always
interested to know what will be
brought up in the periods.
AS usual the menu is arranged
with an eye on the Rotary
themes, and the strangest and
most delectable combinations of
ideals and food are annually
noted.
