There Is no arguing with taste.
Upon a day We flnd man or

whose presence thrills us. who
fascinates and interests us. who be-
comes the object of our desires And
then upon another day all of the
glamor is gone. the fascination
ended. whatever he or she does bores
us, and the episode is ended. Love
has gone never to return, never to
be revived. 1t is finished.
So your efforts to win any ro-
mantle love from your husband are
futile. But while you can never
make lover of him again, it is
possible for you to win his friend
ship. And that is what marital
affection comes to, even among
happily married couples when they
reach your age.
But to do this you will have to
make over your whole nature and
adopt an entirely different tech
nique in dealing with your husband.
For heretofore if you had deliber-
ately started out to kill his love
for you you could not have followed
any more fatal tactics.
Surely you know little of human
nature and less of masculine nature.
if you thought you would endear
yourself to your husband by as
sorting your authority over him
from your wedding day and by let
ting him know from the very start
that you were going to be the boss
and that he would have to obey
you as if he were a little child and
an imbecile one at that, who was
not capable Of judging things for
himself.
You made marriage a Jail for
him and constituted yourself his
keeper. There is no record of any
prisoner who ever loved his jailer
or didn't try to break out of Jail.
Whether you are big enough to con-
fess your faults to your husband
and set him free, I don't know.
But it is the only way in which
you can ever get him back.

Dorothy Dix Says
Prisonlike Restrictions Will Kill
Husbands Love Eventually

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been
married for Is years and my mar
riage has been one Of average hap
piness. However, my husband has
always liked feminine society and
this has caused me unhappiness at
times, but there was never anything
to cause rift. l have a jealous,
possessive nature and hold tight to
what is my own. Have always kept
watchful eye on his movements
but this has been accompanied
by loving kindness and he has not
seemed to mind too much. He has
always answered my questions freely
and has shown, on the whole, sub
missive spirit to my guidance. and I
thought he liked having me decide
matters for him. Now suddenly I
realize that have lost him entirely
He has ceased to love me. He will
not admit that he is in love with
any one else, yet I am positive in
my heart that this is the case. I
tell him constantly how much crave
his affection and beg him to take
me in his arms. but when he does
so am conscious that have asked
for it and I am sickened. I have
used every weapon to get him back.
have pleaded I have scolded. I
have threatened. My life has become
an unceasing vigil over his move
ments, yet can find nothing definite
and he assures me that my suspicious
are groundless. He is rarely from
my side. He almost never leaves
me an evening. In fact, I have
forbidden it. except on rare occasions
when I can be sure of his exact
whereabouts. When he goes on a
business trip I invariably accompany
him. When he plays golf I meet
him at the end of the game and
drive him home. I have felt that
these things are bonds that will draw
us closer together as we grow older.
What do you advise me to do? Is
there any way to resurrect dead
love? DESPERATE,

In the past 10 years many pianos
have been manufactured to sell at
depression prices" This, COM
bined with the demand for piano
that could be used to advantage in
the small house or apartment, has
flooded the market with a variety
of small pianos whose unusual
cases and smart design have tended
to warp judgment on their true
value. If you purchase an inferior
instrument by a ittle-known maker
do not be surprised If within a year
the tone deteriorates; the piano will
not stay in tune and the disposal
value Is very low. BY this pur-
chase you defeat your two major
considsrations-your child's train
ing has been poor 50 that he must

small, has brought no return.

In spring and summer in their per-
feet state, the Clitocybes can fur
nish us with some fine samples for
studying and also for taking spore
prints.
The members of the genus Gil
tocybe all have white spores, no volva
nor annulus. The gills have thin
edges that are not notched on the
edge near the stem and the various
members are generally decurrent.
In actual outline all members re-
semble each other and for this rea-
son, the edible ones should be known
by sight, though we feel that only
experts should do the selecting of
mushrooms for eating purposes. To
study these wonderful plants is one
OF the most exciting hobbies you
can have. The variety is almost un-
limited, the color combinations are
exquisite, the size and places of
growth offer endless trips to urge
you into the open to trace down
the haunts of the members of the
genus.
Clitocybe laccata is a member
found from spring to fall in woods,
open fields, mossy and grassy places
and even on the bare ground. When
young the cap is pale buff red,
sometimes the flesh is red, and when
old and dry it is gray or pale
yellowish brown. The surface Is cov-
cred with tufts of fine hair. Young
caps are convex, tlattening out when
old. The gills are broad, unequal
and some distance apart. There is
no veil, the stem is slender, may
be hollow or stuffed, and sometimes
is very short. The spores are white

globose and rough. The flesh is
leathery, tasteless and flesh color,
but not as unwholesome in the lac
cata member as 1t Is in the illudens.
Photographs are fine, but the plant
itself offers better opportunities for
Identification. The jack-o-la lantern,
when seen in dark places, has a de-
cided and easily seen glow. In a
very shaded spot, you will find some
Of the most beautiful specimens. Re-
moving them carefully from their
anchorage, wrapping them skillfully
in soft paper to prevent bruising,
or placing them in a box, will enable
you to take few specimens home
or to the schoolroom. Here you NAV
see how exquisitely colored and
formed this mushroom is and know
ing that it is worthless as food, YOU
remember to destroy it or put it
where it can do no harm after YOU
have studied it all you wish.

We are warned that this member
of the genus Clitocybe is not to be
trusted-in fact, it is decidedly un-
wholesome and should be avoided.
1t has been called the jack-o-lantern,
both because of its dull orange color
and its phosphorescence.
Since we may find some interest
ing member of this genus in woods,
swamps, open fields, naked ground,
messy dells, grassy places and on
old decaying trunks of fallen trees,
it is wise that we have more than
a passing interest in them. Some

Free Press Is Vital
To Democracy, Says
La Guardia in Speech
Mayor One Of Three to
Talk at Dedication of
World Fair Slogan
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Democracy
said Mayor F. H. La Guardia yes
terday, can not exist without free
press ANY more than a free press
can exist in a dictatorship country
The Mayor was one of three
speakers who expounded the funda-
mental principles of democracy
freedom of the press, of religion and
of assembly and speech, at cere-
monies formally dedicating the
dawn of a new day" slogan OF
the new York World Fair.
Other speakers we're Dorothy
Thompson, newspaper commentator
and John j. Burns. former associate
judge of the Superior Court Of Mas
sachusetts.
Each Depends on Other.
"Just as the free press depends
for its survival upon democracy
Mr.. La Guardia said, so the prog
ress of democracy depends upon its
free press -
ITO be sure" he added, the free
press can not be secure unless it
lends its voice to strengthen demo-
cratic government, but in equal
measure, slavery and degradation
can not be secure so long as there is
the free, unbridled voice of the press
to cry out against injustice, to de-
nounce and castigate tyranny and
brutality"
Enemies of democracy and the
free press are the same" Mr.. La
Guardia said, "and friends of free
democracy must also be friends of a
free press"
People in U. S. Fortunate"
Mr.. Burns said the people of the
United States have "all the more
reason" to be thankful for their lib
critics when they consider "the ever
narrowing area of freedom for men
in this world of ours"
1T is not enough, however, that
we rejoice and reaffirm our allie
glance to these liberties" Mr. Burns
said. I'VE must be ever faithful and
watchful guardians. No inroad,
however slight, should go unchal-
lenged. Freedom of speech we must
preserve If we are to vanquish the
forces of ignorance and prejudice
and give victory to truth and JUS
tice."
Miss Thompson said that of all
rights, freedom of assembly was the
one that insured the exercise of de-
mocracy in its social aspects.
1T is the right that people ex-
ercise in order to organize for ac-
tion," she said, "and that is the rea-
son why it is the very first of all
civil liberties to be suspended under
martial law. and the most dangerous
one to indulge in under dictator
ship"

EMPLOYERS LIABLE UNDER STATE LAW
Must Provide for Com- pensation for Employees
 of Subs b-Contractors

Hartford, Conn, June 30.--State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone today urged employers to maintain payroll accounts of em- ployes of subcontractors, hired my. employers, subject to provisions of amendments to the state unemploy- ment compensation law which be- comes effective tomorrow.
 According to new provisions of the law. an employer who contracts with or employs subcontractor for work which is part of the employ CTS usual trade or business and which is performed about the prem ises under the employers control is considered to be the employer of all employees of such contractor or sub- contractor. Therefore such em- ployes must be counted in determin- ing liability, and contributions are payable with respect to their wages. If, however, the contractor or sub- contractor in question already is covered by the law, this provision does not apply. The employer shall not be prevented from recovering from the contractor or subcontrac- tor such contributions.
 Employers are subject to the law at the expiration of 20 weeks of a calendar year If they employ i've or more employees. If, however, the employer has eight or more employees for 20 weeks in a calendar year, he will become subject as of the beginning of the calendar year.
