HUMAN NATURE

Nerer forget that all people are
human, and just because they happen
TO be your Wite, husband or child
doesn't free them from human traits
and emotions. This is the advice Kath-
Teen Norris offers married couples ,oho
look upon their mates and children as
persons apart from the rest Of the
,UOrld. She believes that much unhap-
piness could be auoided il they tOouId
realize that their loved ones are human
beings-and treat them accordingly.

well as husbands. Wives
- - are people, as well as
wives. Children are people,
too, as we'll as children.
If most married folk could
only get those three simple facts
through their heads, a great
many marital problems would
be solved.
But stupid mothers and
fathers continue to snub,
punish, ignore, or form en-
tirely artificial plans for chill
dren as if children were a
race apart. They hurt the
children's feelings; they talk
down" to them; they quote them in
public to give everyone a good
laugh; they interrupt the small
girls most absorbed play; they
make fun of the small boys dearest
pal.
Not that they would treat their
friends, or even casual acquaint-
ances that way. But children don't
matter!
How to Annoy Ones Husband.
Wives, too, have a great way of
forgetting that man lived several
years as a man before he was a
husband, and thoroughly enjoyed
those years. Many young wife
ruins her marriage because she
wants so completely to absorb dar-
ling Billy's time, attention, money,
affection, company, and even his
past. knew one bride who was
eternally Fostering her husband
about his younger days. She didn't
suspect anything sinister; she was
just curious. He had really liked
Maude Baker, hadn't he? Oh, she
didn't care one bit, but she wanted
him to admit it. He had kissed
Maude, hadn't he? Nothing wrong
if he had, but she would like to
know.
This particular wife used to drive
downtown to pick her man up every
afternoon. If he had letters in his
pocket, she wasn't happy until she
saw them. If he stayed at the Of
flee she telephoned twice. If he and
his partner went out for scrambled
eggs and coffee at eleven, she was
hurt. She would have dressed and
come downtown and joined them if
only he'd let her know!
For a short while Billy enjoyed all
this; it made him important in his
own eyes. Then he became sudden
ly sick of it, and although the reason
his fearful wife gave in the divorce
court was mental cruelty" the real
reason Billy shouted to his mother
when he went back home to live
was: "She never let me ALONE!'
1t hadn't occurred to Jean that
Billy was a person. She thought OF
him as only a husband.
Wives Also Need Breathing Space.
Here's a letter from a wife who
feels her husband doesn't give her
breathing-space. She is "a, she lives
in Hollywood, and she has two sons,
nine and six.
"When I married Dave" writes
Martha, 81 had done postgraduate
courses in architecture, and was
working with a firm of architects,
being paid $40 week and commits
sion. For a year I went on, then
stopped and devoted myself to home
and Taffy, and when Taffy was
three, to Stewart as well. No two
small boys ever had more devoted
mother. I'm a good cook, too, and
although I always had some help,
managed the meals as well as the
boys. Dave did well, we moved into
a lovely home with garden, and
when the boys got started in school
/ tried club work, social work, hos
pital committee work, bridge, hob
bies, everything. I wrote nine
poems and three short stories, all
unpublished. Nothing seemed to be
my work.

"Then one of the members of my
old firm got into the business of
building groups of small houses here
and there over the country; five
room farmhouses and little hacien-
das that sell for $500 down and $35
month. 1 told Dave I'd do it until
I could buy myself a good car, which
I did last July. I also bought for
the house coat of paint, blinds, an
additional bathroom, and a new
refrigerator.
Objects to Wife Working.
"All was going serenely when
Dave broke down two weeks ago in
bitter protest against my continuing
as a wage-earner. His arguments
you know, for I've seen them in this
column before. Taking the job from
someone who needs it more. Hurt
ing his pride. Robbing the boys of
their mothers society. Doing what
is unnatural and unfeminine and I'M
wifely.
"What do you think of this? Dave
made scene. He said he had been
wretched for weeks. That his house
was no longer home. That there
was nothing in the world he wouldn't
buy for me; nothing he wouldn't do
if I'd just give up this nonsense of
fireplaces and sinks and driveways
and come home again! He shed
actual tears. He said he loved his
wife too much to have her walking
around cheap raw lots all day with
a couple of builders and painters
and plumbers.
'Dave leaves at a few minutes to
nine each morning. The boys are
off at eight, home at four. l 60 at
nine, am always home at five. My
colored Frances gives them an
after-school sandwich, sees that they
change their shoes and start their
homework. Dave gets in a little aft
er five"
Suffers No Inconvenience.
Martha, I think you're right and
Dawes wrong. Not. that I think ev-
cry married woman who works is
acting wisely. When it means res
taurant meals and unmade beds,
unanswered telephone and nervous
WEAKNESS, then a smart woman
makes some other arrangement.
But in this case of Dave and Mar
tina it has been worked out for the
benefit of everyone. The boys see
as much of their mother as most
boys do. Frances keeps the house
in order. Martha, who admits to
being a good cook, undoubtedly
does the marketing and supervises
the meals. She is always at home
when Dave gets there.
What more does he want, any,
way? What does he think life is?
A lovely home, a good maid, two
small sons, smart wife, money for
luxuries as we'll as necessities, and
happiness all round if he would only
accept the situation.
Thousands of wives, Dave, may
duly stay at home between visits to
beauty parlors, shops, movies, mat
inees. But they don't want babies
and they can't cook. And rather
than helping with expenses they in
crease them in every direction.
Thousands of wives are miserably
unhappy when the last child gets
off to school, and wonder all day
long what they can do with them
selves and why they are alive any,
way.
Thank God that you have wom-
an as we'll as a wife.

Italy Hits First

East Africa Become
Scene of Effort to Cut
Allied Line to East

ROME, June II. (UP)-
The Italian army struck on
several fronts today and was
reported to have advanced
into British and French So
maitland.
The advance into the Allied East
African colonies was reported to
have been made by Italian forces
including both Blackstone infantry
and native troops.
Aerial bombing attacks were car
ried out on Malta.
In East Africa flying column
of Blackshirts and native troops
was said to have broken through
the first line of French defenses
and headed toward Djibuti.

Adds Ababa, Italian airplaneS also
carried out bombardmcnt OF mill

The attack on British SOmali-
land was made from both Italian
Somaliland and Ethiopia. The aer-
ial attacks on Alden were under
stood to have been launched from
Ethiopian bases. Alden is 100 miles
across the Red Sea from Djibuti
The first day of italian action
in the war made it apparent that
one of the initial Italian detectives
in Africa will be an effort to close
the Red Sea at the bOttleneck be-
tween Djibuti and Alden.
Closing of the Red Sea would
have virtually the same effect as
the closing of the Suez canal so
far as transportation from the
Mediterranean to che middle and
Far East is concerned.
1t would halt direct British and
French communication through the
Suez to their Far Eastern colonies.
Vital military supplies and many
thousands of troops have been sent
from these Far Eastern points-Au-

east, Benito MusSolini launched his
airplanes against the British naval
base of Malta in raids the British
said did no damage, and sent his
troops through East Africa in an
effort to cut Allied lifelines to near
and Far Eastern colonies.
Britain threw increasing num-
bers of troops into battle beside the
French along the entire Western
Front battle line and plunged wave

their troops are only 81 miles from

and northeast. The announcement
referred to infantry divisions, it

that the great German offensive

At the same time they claimed
that during the night German
speedboats battled with British de-
stroyerS off the east coast of Brit

returned to their bases.
