Dorothy Dix Says >>>
The Proof of Husbands Love
Lies in Manner, Not Words

Dear Miss Dix: Does marriage kill
love? Can man and woman
stay in love with each other after
they are husband and wife? Do
men consider that they are through
their courting when they marry?
G. H. B.
Answer-If love could not stand
the strain of marriage. instead Of
there being one crack-up in every
six marriages. divorce would be
universal. This is proof positive
of the fact that the great majority
of the people stay married because
they want to. not because they have
to. No idea is more erroneous than
that marriage kills love. Perhaps
romance seldom survives the wear
and tear of everyday life and of a
man and woman finding out that
their mates are just ordinary hui
man beings with human faults and
weaknesses. But in place of this
f1ubdub sentimentality there grows
up between most husbands and
wives a deep affection that makes
them love each other thousand
times more on their silver wedding
day than they did on their first.
1t is inevitable that husbands and
wives, if they are decent people,
who try to do their duty by each
other, should be drawn together
rather than separated by marriage.
For one thing, they are dependent
on each other for their happiness.
For another thing, they have all
interests in common. And, for still
another thing, they are bound to each
other by ties of gratitude. Each
can recall so many kind things the
other has done, so many sacrifices
the other has made, so many times
when they have stood shoulder to
shoulder fighting their battles to-
gether against the world. And there
are the children.
Only too many men do drop any
active lovemaking after marriage
because they consider that they are
saying it with hard work instead of
soft speeches. That is true enough,
and the proof of husbands love

chance?
Another point in your article
which didn't ring true was about
talking to the employer. Personally,
I never was fortunate enough to
speak to the real employer, or
might have gotten somewhere by
this time. Instead, they have their
representatives there to tell you
there is nothing doing, and you
don't get a chance to open your
mouth to sell yourself. And the en-
ployment agencies are just as bad.
ut makes my blood boil, when
pick up the paper and read that
business is improving all the time
and that more people are being
hired every day. wish some one
would tell me where those places
are, and I'd 60 there!"
DISGUsTED JOB HUNTER.
This Is Wrong
Attitude.
Now, we have all the sympathy in
the world for ''Disgusted Job Hun
ter" and the hundreds of other
young people in the same boat But
we're disturbed by the fact that this
letter expresses the very attitude
which we were warning you against
in the amusing and annoying" COL
umn to which it refers.
Disguised Job Hunter is blaming
her failure to land a job on lack of
experience. Yet thousands of other
graduates from last Junes classes,
just as inexperienced as she. have
obtained work. Why?
The answer is obvious. Some of
them may have had pull; few just
got lucky break. But countless
others simply had more to offer an
employer than Disguised Job Hunter
And one of the things they had
was that ability to look at things
from the employers point of view
which We described in our earlier
colun. and which the writer of
this letter conspicuously lacks.
Many employers demand expert
enced help-true. But many others
prefer to hire inexperienced en-
ployes, and train them themselves.
Naturally, you've got to find the
latter. If you persist in going only
to the places where experience is
demanded, you'll get nowhere.
We know how tough this job

and hotter sidewalks. A few of the
advance summer styles have come
into the shops here and we must say
that they are improving all the
time. Our favorites at the moment
include sandal types of polka dot
crepe piped in white leather. They
come in wine, black, blue or green
with white dots and have bags to
match. When white clothes begin
to be worn, we're going to cast our
vote for the sandals of silk braid in
multi-color stripes. The wedge heels
on these are of red, yellow and
green kid.
incidentally, Aunt A., when your
wedge heels get run down, they can
be repaired at no more cost than
the usual charge for retapping. One
store here has had numerous calls
for this service-and it is a nice
thing to know. Had us worried for
a while!
Shoes of all descriptions seem to
be occupying our thoughts about
now, but we do have to tell you
about the wonderful shoes with
transparent heels. They look just
like glass, but aren't of course, for
they're really a new plastic material
that is said to be even more dur
able than the ordinary heel.
Believe us, they're simply fascinat-
ing and if you don't think they at
tract attention, wait until you at
tend the next meeting of the ladies
aid in the pair we're sending. We're
sending 'em because they've reached
the popular price bracket, now.
AS matter of fact, we're brim-
ming over with sensational fash
ion news. For instance, the new
gloves designed to protect your
nails. These have elongated finger
tips to accommodate long nails and
to keep them from coming through
your gloves. Wonderful idea? Sure.
Merry Hull, the girl who created
such sensation by designing three
dimensional gloves which revolu-
tionized the industry, is also the
parent of these. Maybe they cost
a bit more than you've been paying,
but they'll be very much worth it,
especially since they should stay in
good condition longer.
We remembered to look around at
luncheon the other day so we could
give you report of some of the
other thought of styles. Among
them are sheer print dresses in

If the family like preserves with
their breakfast or supper be sure
to get a jar of the tiny Mexican
wild strawberries; they are deli
cious -.
That the next time you give
friend husband . present make 1t
one of the new electric raxors with
the double blade. It will cut down
on his shaving time and make him
prompt for his engagements -.
Women who like to walk should
certainly invest in the combination
walking stick and umbrella. The
stick is made out of bamboo and
has a curved handle so that 1t may
be hung over the arm when not
in use. The silk umbrella part may
be had IN various colors to match
your favorite walking ensemble.
Ideal for a childs room is pair
of bookends resembling overstuffed
red leather library chairs with
either child or Pekingese oc-
cupying the chairs -.
1t won't be long now before dinner
tables will be set out of doors on the
terrace porch, so be prepared by
having a pair of hurricane candle
sticks ready to place on the table. A
pair recently seen was complete with
candle and holder, and boasted
small glass globe with an etched
design -.
Sturgeon paste Is definitely new
and should be added to the hors
d'oeuvres plate. Put it on crackers
or little rounds of toast and watch
them disappear from the tray . :.
Highball glasses with nickproof
edges should be good news to all
and some have an added feature
that is interesting. A frosted square
name plate set in the glass! Just
write the guests name in this space
with either ink or pencil, and make
certain that glasses won't get mixed
When the guests have departed

initiated gear shift knobs add an
attractive personal touch to a car.
They may be had in a variety of
colors with silver disc in the center
for the initials An ideal gift for
the youngster who has just obtained
his or her first car -.
When mushrooms climb out of
sight it is no reason to strike them
from your menus. for now they
come in tins, cooked in the Dutch
kitchen style. All you have to do
is heat them thoroughly. and the
family will never guess that they
are out of can -.
Thermometers have never been
considered a thing of beauty, but
now there is very smart looking
one on the market made of a glass
like composition. It resembles the
modern square clock with the num-
bers in red and may be had resting
on base, or it comes with a device
to attach it to the outside Of a
window-pane.

of these, and they're going to be
fine for town wear now and in the
summer. A wonderful color is the
new Turf Tan" which, we suspect,
is our old friend Luggage" or
London Tan" with a new by-line.
These Washington April showers
have encouraged women to use the
new combinations of umbrella and
purses, the former fitting into the
latter. There one thing puzzling
us, however. Why do you suppose
they have failed to make up COM
binations using the collapsible
umbrellas instead of merely shorter
ones? Those we've seen have been
a touch on the bulky side, and it
does seem that they could be more
compact. Maybe we just haven't
found the others.
Certainly wished that you could
have been here on Saturday when
we took in both luncheon fashions
shows-at the Raleigh and the
Shoreham. At the former very
interesting show, Shenley's pre-
sented summer hats that you just
wouldn't have been able to resist.
All types were featured and they
looked really different" as well
as throughly wearable.
It was cherry blossom time at the
Shoreham, and Charlotte Parker's
lovely clothes appeared to good ad-
vantage against a background Of
pale pink and white blossoms. You
wouldn't have been able to say mo"
to those clothes, either, so it's
probably good thing you weren't
present. Tell Uncle Albert that his
bank account is saved!
Other fashion excitement around
town attended the arrival of a
lovely young representative of the
cotton industry. known as the
Maid of Cotton she brought with
her wardrobe Of six ensembles in
this fabric and proved once more
the possibilities of this material as
strong fashion influence. Appear
ing in several shows at Jelleff S, her
costumes were supplemented by
some 40 additional outfits. all in the
"washability theme" And if you've
ever spent a summer in Washing

value of "tubbable" clothes.

Historical Museum
Proposed al Meeting
Of Oldest Inhabitants
Restoration of Forts
To Be Considered by
Senute Committee

A proposal that the Association Of
Oldest Inhabitants establish an his
torical museum in the downstairs
portion Of its meeting place, the Old
Union Engine House, was outlined
by Jesse c. Suter at the associations
meeting last night.
Mr.. Suter pointed out that the
proposal was contingent on the
availability OF funds. but said the
edifice contained so many relics oil
life in Washingtons earlier days
that 1t would be a worthwhile prof.
ect. He added that an Administra-
tive Committee to regulate hours OF
admission, upkeep, etc, would have
to be appointed.
Although Mr.. Suter is chairman
of the associations Committee on
Renovation. he stressed that the
proposal was not that of his COM
mittee, but his own. He said a spe-
cial fund would have to be obtained
before any plan of action could be
undertaken.
Letter From Sheppard.
Chairman Sheppard of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee advised
the association, in a communication
read last night, that he would refer
to his committee proposal of the
association that 40-odd batteries,
which comprised defenses of the

War, be restored for historical pur-
poses.
A proposal that the Oldest In
habitants sponsor celebration on
September 18 in commemoration
Of the 147th anniversary of the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the Capitol,

that the time for preparation was

Asks Conference.
The proposal came from William
V. Mahoney of the Worlds Fair
Development Co., which Is laying
plans for an exposition in WASH
ington in 1943. Mr.. Mahoney pro-
posed that a committee from the
association meet with him tonight to
discuss plans.
The associations program last
night included recitation of curious
epitaphs garnered from gravestones
of earlier days.
A message of greeting from the
association was sent to Theodore w.

 These sources declare that the Rumanian question is a factor in this situation and it is further dis closed that a definite pledge has been obtained from Russia, by Ger many. that Rumania will be spared no matter what happens.
 That pledge will probably be pulp licly documented soon and means that Russia will continue to give supplies to Germany and keep hands off Rumania. It is known that the negotiations are being conducted in the greatest secrecy because it is said Germany has warned Russia against further aggression and if that it occurs the powerful Nazi ma- chine of war will move. Russia, it is stated, fears any military trou- ble with Germany If the pledge concerning Rumania is officially made and signed. the Nazi machine scores a victory

25 KILLED; FAST TRAIN

Mexican Laborers in Fruit Vehicle Crushed, Burn
 ed and Mdng|ed

McALLEN, Texas, March Ii. - Twenty-Five persons were killed to- day when a passenger train crashed broadside into a truck loaded with fruit-pickers at a crossing six miles east of this lower Rio Grande Val ley city today.
 Seventeen persons were injured and many of them are in serious condition.
 It was the worst wreck in the history of Texas.
 The Missouri Pacific train, trav- cling at 60 miles and hour, hit the truck at 8 o'clock this morning carrying it on the COW catcher for GOO yards, scattering bodies and limbs of the victims, apparently all laborers of Mexican or related blood living in farm areas around Alama
 The truck burst into flames im- fnediately after the crash and one victim was found charred when the train stopped.
