 Answer-Acidity of the stomach has nothing to do with the alkalinity of the blood or the acidity of the urine. The fruit acids, with no im- portant exception for the ordinary person, are oxidized in the body into alkaline salts and hence they tend to increase alkalinity in the blood, decrease acidity in the urine.

 Loose Cartilage
 Noticed your advice on floating cartilage. Three years ago my knee went out every little while, and several times I fell down flights of stairs. Doctors said it was floating cartilage and operation was only cure. I consulted another doctor who put the knee in a splint for six weeks, kept me of the leg entirely for three weeks. gave me diatherny once 8 week. Have never had any further trouble with the knee. (Miss E. M. SJ
 Ars.-Thank you. A suitable brace or splint and other conservative measures should be tried for g reasonable time in any such case. Surgery should be resorted to only when such measures fail to remedy the trouble.

The girl who is a guest at a coun- try club or suburban house almost every weekend during the summer months no doubt could offer some good advice to the stay-at-homes who complain that nobody ever asks them anywhere and that they are so tired of the city they could scream.
 She probably could tell them that she never accepts if she has a bad summer cold. She may get a cold during the weekend, but you may be sure that she doesn't start out with one, thereby running the risk of giving it to her hostess and other members of the house. hold.

 Mrs. Emory s. Adams, tall, dark haired, handsome wife of the Adjut- ant General is one fthe most popu- lar army hostesses here.
 ADMIRAL'S WIFE
 IS SOCIAL ARBITER
 The army set is looking forward to the arrival of society loving Mrs. Virgil s. Peterson, wife of the In- Spector General. She is 8 statuesque blonde, and immensely popular in armw circles. Petite, grey-haired Mrs. Sherman Miles wife of Brig. Gen. General Miles, Assistant Chief of Staff, is another whose invita- tions are especially coveted.
 Mrs. George Pettingill, wife of the ranking Admiral of the Navy, is hostess of the Commandan't House at the Navy Yard. She and Mrs. Anderson, wife of the Director of Naval Intelligence, are the grand danes of navy society whose word in a social crisis has the authority of regulations.

SHE DOESN'T FORGET THINGS

I said she probably could tell you. She wouldn't, of course. She doesn't go around holding herself up as a shining example. That's another reason people think she is such a fine guest.
 She does not forget her bathing suit, suntan oil or an extra sweat CT. She knows that her hostess, however, good-natured, probably will be @eonvenienced if more than one guest forgets any of these.
 She finds out definitely what is expected of her in the way of ap- pearance at the breakfast table before going to bed the first night. She has an instinct for knowing whether her hostess means it when sch says, Sleep as late as you like"

SHE'S GOOD COMPANY

She takes an interested part in the activities which have been plan ned by her hostess. If she doesn't enjoy them, she doesn't go again. But while there, she's definitely am- fable.
 She doesn't take long, leisurely baths when a guest in the one bathroom house.
 She doesn't insist upon sitting up an hour after her hostess has indicated that it's high time everyone went to bed.
 She makes clear when she ar- rives whether she will leave Sum- day night or Monday morning. And doesn't change her mind about 1t at the last minute.

COMMANDERS ENTERTAIN THEIR SUBORDINATES

The army corps commanders en- certain subordinates of their branch at the Army and Navy Country Club once each year, and there are sev- eral regular stag parties held by various service groups.
 The Chief of Naval Operations and his wife give a series flour teas each year, and each Bureau Chief in the Navy is expected to entertain fellow officers in his own organization, and their wives.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Men Stand Matrimonial Gaff
Much Better Than Women
BY Colette

much more important to q woman
than it is to man. It is her para
mount interest in life. And If 1t
is failure all the balance is Gin
ders. ashes and dust.
Whereas, with a man marriage
is only part of the business Of life
and if that fails him he has con-
ISOLATION prizes in his ambitions, his
career, his business in which he
can absorb himself. He can flee
from a shrewish or a nagging or
boresome wife to his Office as to
temple of refuge
Another reason why men are not
SO quick to throw up their hands
and quit as women are, when they
realize that their marriages are
not all their fondest fancy painted,
is because they have been taught
to respect their contracts and to
stick to their bargains; whereas
women have been brought up In
the theory that If you don't Ike
what you picked out when you get
1t home and look 1t over you can
return it.
Even in the cases where a mar
rlage is failure and where the
home has become nothing but a
battle ground on which the hus-
band and wife fight continuously
1t is nearly always the wife who
pulls down the roof over their heads
and smashes the furniture and
starts for the divorce court.
This general antipathy Of men
to divorce has a curious illustra-
ton in the fact that even very
few OF the men who are unfaithful
to their wives want to divorce them
or break up their homes.
DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star., 1940-07-26

A correspondent wants to know,
speaking by and large and taking
things generally into consideration,
which are more prone to divorce
men or women? This is a question
that cannot be answered right of
the bat because while statistics
show that women constitute the
great majority of petitioners in di-
vorce cases it does not prove that
there are more good wives than there
are good husbands, or that men are
any more happy and contented in
the holy estate than are women.
Probably there are just as many
husbands as there are wives who
long for a decree absolute, but Gus
tom has decreed that a man shall
not smear the name of his chill
dren's mother, and so, even when
he is innocent of any wrong doing
and she is guilty, he permits her to
get the divorce. It is the last ges-
ture of gallantry in hard-boiled
world. Taking marriage as a whole,
it is just as hard on men as it is
on women. Just as many men as
women have loves young dream
turn into nightmare Just as
many women are high tempered and
grouchy and cantankerous as men.
Just as many women are poor cooks
as there are men who are poor
providers. And marriage is as little
an Elysium for husbands as it is
for wives.
But, as general thing, men
stand the matrimonial gaff better
than women do. They take the
establishments of marriage with
more philosophy They endure their
wives faults with more patience
than their wives show to their fail
ings. And, while complaining OF
their husbands is the favorite in
door sport of many wives, it is
rare thing to hear a man publicly
criticize his wife.
Many reasons can be advanced
for this. One is that marriage is

ting down with an eager abandon
The trouble is that the eagerness
may be too abandoned-and excite
ment run away with good Judgment.
For there is nothing that calls for
steadier thought and careful con-
sideration of all angles than does
the setting up of a home of your
own.
Nobly responding to this need
comes Henrietta Ripperger, author
of new book. "A Home of Your
own" just published by Simon and
Schuster of New York The clever
illustrations by Anne Cleveland add
lightness and charm to the text,
which is chockful of wisdom, spe-
cif1c details and sound advice to the
young people who are setting out
on their great housekeeping ini-
tiation.
The book is delightfully."- written,
which makes the advice smoothly
palatable-but it is right down to
brass tacks," none the less. After
a good, bracing introduction, What
Home Is For" in which the
author explains just what effect
surroundings have on the lives of
their inmates. Mrs. Ripperger
plunges into the essentials with no
further ado. The book is arranged
so that 1t can be read easily, and
consulted like an encyclopedia
whenever the need arises. and is
divided into six main sections, as
follows:
/, "A Home and What Goes Into
tt
2. The House That Shines"
g. How to Boil an Egg"
4. THE House With Help"
5. Food, Drink and Parties"
6. "All About Money"
Under each of these main head
ings. Mrs. Ripperger lists all the
troubles and problems that may
(and usually do follow in their
wake, and supplies the answers in
