does love you, but evidently he loves
his mother better, and I think you
will be very foolish to 60 on being
patient any longer. Present an ulti-
matum to him and tell him that he
will either have to cut his Mammals S
apron strings or break the engage
ment.
When selfish mother gets an
older son enslaved to her she can
be the cruelest and most grinding
tyrant on earth. She can be abso-
lutely dead to every feeling of SYM
pathy for him and sacrifice him,
without single compunction of con-
science, to herself and her younger
children.
Personally, think that your boy
friend must have very little strength
OF character to let his mother treat
him as she does. Why, in the first
place, should he ever have turned
his pay envelope over to her? That
gave her the upper hand to start
with. 1t was all right for him to
help her, but he should have given
her an allowance instead of letting
her give him an allowance, as if he
was a silly child unfit to handle
money.
The time has come now for him
to rebel and If he doesn't proclaim
his independence and put things on
a more equitable basis at home, he
Is a mouse and not a man.
Anyway marrying a man with q
family complex is dangerous thing
for a woman, to do. Somehow he
always ieels that his mother and hi.
sisters and his brothers have 9
greater claim upon him and art
more to be considered than his wife
have known more than one mar
whose own wife and children walked
while he paid for automobiles fol
his housekeeping sisters and broth

whether it is capable of following its

Unhappy Salesman Sets Mark
For Phone Booth Occupancy

A new worlds record for staying
in telephone booths, formerly held
jointly by three-quarters of the
globes female population, was set
unintentionally Saturday night by a
sleepy travelling salesman.
With the unfortunate co-opera-
ton of several pharmacy clerks and
a telephone operator who made a
career of long distance phone call.
this unidentified citizen remained
ensconced in phone booth at Lig-
gett's Drug Store, Fourteenth and H
streets NV, for more than five
hours.
The salesman entered the drug
store some time before II pm. Sat-
urday with the unshakable inten-
ton of making long distance call
The telephone booth was hot and
the man was drowsy.
His call was not readily completed
to say the least, and the next thing
known is that the new record holder
was dreaming of Pullman windows
that open and soft hotel beds, or
whatever travelling statesmen dream
about.
When he awoke it was very dark
and he hadn't the least idea where
he was. After striking several
matches he recalled that he was in a
Liggett Drug Store. The doors were
locked.
So, the salesman turned back to
the telephone and called the police
This time his call went through. He
told the policemen he was in a Lig-
gets Drug Store. and would they
please come and get him out. The
law wanted to know which Liggett's
Drug Store, because there are six Of
them in Washington.
The salesman went to window
and peered out, but he couldn't see
any street sign. All he could see
was cafe across the street. He
recalled the police and told them
about a cafe across the street.
At 2 am. two policemen arrived.
They engaged in an animated ex-
change with the trapped man by
use of Indian sign language, and
finally departed.
At this the salesman was exceed
ingly irked and called the police
again, demanding to know why he
was being deserted and left trapped
in his drug store prison. The police
replied that he should keep his shirt
on, because they were looking for
the manager to open the door.
