/. There are thousands of cases like
this. The wife has been too sure
of herself and her husband. Life
has been going on the way she likes
to have it, and so she feels that it
ought to satisfy him, too. Why
make herself pretty when he gets
home, why be amused, laughing, en-
thusiastic about what she is doing,
or interested in what he is? Why
give him an unexpected kiss, or pick
him up at the office and take him to
lunch. or ask him to tell again, for
the benefit of friends. the story that
amused her?
Loses Charm in Rightly.
He's her husband, isn't he? He
owes her fidelity and devotion,
doesn't he, without any silly senti-
mental fuss? Hasn't she borne him
two children and given him the best
years of her life? Let him walk q
chalk line now, or he'll be sorry!-

And so, in elf-righteouSness and
rigidity. she loses all charm. not
only as a wife. but as a woman.
There is no more gaiety in his house.
Just cleanliness and meals and CIV
ility, and woman opposite him who
will do her duty by him, and yield
not an inch more.
Laughter is natural thing to as
sociate with charm, and l see that
I have used the word more than
once in describing it. Perhaps a
wise question for certain wives to
ask themselves is whether there is
enough laughter in the house.
Laughter over the small pleasures
and the small upsets of every day.
Laughter out at the garage when
dad is cleaning the car on Sunday
morning. and laughter at the tele-
phone when he asks if he may bring
home a man for dinner. Men do
not leave laughing wives.
And when good husbands and
fathers begin those office flirtations
that often end so disastrously, the
other women involved almost al
ways have one characteristic IN
common. They are good-natured.
Mrs. Brooks at the office may be
40 or more. She may have had all
her teeth replaced. Her domestic
history may be unfortunate. to say
the least The wreckage Of several
marriages may clutter her past.
But she's learned to be sweet. To
flatter with her interested eyes; to
be terribly sorry for Dick: even to
find kindly, understanding things to
say of Dicks wife. It may be all on
the surface, but it is charm, and
Dick, tired of the impersonal ef-
ficiency of the cold little woman at
home, reaches hungrily for it, even
though he knows he is fooling him.
self.
To out-charm a charmer is a
game worth any woman's mettle.

A coastal lifeboat was launched
at Norfolk after reports that steam
ers were being bombed by airplanes
as far as 80 miles off the coast.
The rattle of machine gun fire
was heard southeast of Essex and
i. was believed that German planes
were spraying the decks of some
vessel under attack.

signal was sounded so minutes later,
releasing people from shelters.

District Explains
Junkins Dredses

An inquiry concerning the reason
behind "junking" a quarter of a
million dollars worth of dredging
equipment and a recommendation
of a more uniform drainage pro-
gram for Imperial Valley occupied
members of the board of the I'M
perial Irrigation district TUESDAY
forenoon.
The inquiry was made by Ralph
H. Gilbert, landowner in the Heber
HoltVille, Imperial and BraWley
areas.
There are a number of questions
that as a landholder. I would like
to ask the board" Gilbert said.
why is it that dredges built at a
cost of about $25O00O have been cut
up?"
Gilbert referred to dredges pur-
chased in the early 20'S. He was
answered by Chairman Evan T..
Hewes and Superintendent Elmer
Imperial Valley press., 1940-02-20

HdIIlOS.
When equipment becomes OBJ
Solete, as these dredges did, it is
dismantled and the parts put back
into stock to be used for other pur-
poses" HeWes declared
Hartzog explained that the
dredges in question had been re-
placed by smaller, more mobile ma
Chinery, because of the high cost
of operating the older machines.
He offered to go into the matter
further with Gilbert.
Gilbert's recommendation toward
a more uniform drainage setup
brought discussion on the present
system where farmers lay out their
own, individual programs. HeweS eX-
planned that although the district
does not directly dictate the drains
on an individual farm. the drains
are arranged in many cases with the
advice of district engineers.

Fresno Refuses to
Handle Relief

FRESNO, Cal. Feb 20. CUP)-
The Fresno county board of super
visors today advised the county dir
ector of welfare that Fresno county
county would continue to handle
only regular and INDECENT cases be-
cause the county has no additional
funds to take care of SRA cases
should state relief funds become eX-
hausted.
Mr.. Minnetta Gertzler, head of
the welfare department, appeared
before the board to determine what
policy the supervisors wanted her
to follow in the event state relief
funds became exhausted.
The board sale its policy would
have to be one of refraining from
interfering with the legislature.
