Parents Have
Solemn DUTY
Child
When Disregarded
Humanity Is
Discredited
BY ANGELO PATRI.

When two people bring a child
into the world they create along
with him a duty for themselves.
They put lifelong obligation upon
themselves to see this child through
life until he is able to go alone.
When either parent willfully diSre-
CARDS this obligation he has dis
credited his humanity. No grown up
person with an ethical sense could
disregard his obligations to the
child he helped bring into life.
Let us dismiss the instances where
insanity, drunkenness and infectious
disease make marital relations i'm
possible. But how about these
fathers and mothers who put off
and take on marriage relations
have children, as casually as they
might go shopping? What have they
to say about their children who are
homeless, fatherless or motherless?
Children deprived of the things
most necessary for their happiness
the security of good home, good
parents, affectionate care?
Somebody must take over the care
of the children when one or both
parents surrender it. That is not
eraSing the injury done the chill
dren. A new home is not the real
one. A new guardian is certainly
not the real father and mother. MOI
is school a home and family. There
is no substitute for home in this
life. Nothing can change the fact
that this child is the child of this
father and mother and to them he
clings, from them he had his being
from them he should have spiritual
and material support. That is his
right bestowed upon him when his
parents created him by their own
act, by their own choice.
The children who are deserted
by the divorce action are unhappy
and often become problem chill
dren. Many of them are sent to
school, sent there for instruction
and protection when home failed.
In their bewilderment they try to
find a way of comfort, some place
in life where they can belong. They
belong at home and there Is no
home. Fear becomes resentment
and resentment makes for bad
behavior.
"I can do nothing with this boy
He is highly intelligent but he will
do nothing he thinks we want him
to do. He has reached the place
where he won't take a bath, won't
attend recitations, won't bulge to
the right or the left if he thinks
we want him to. We don't know
what to do"
"Where is his father?"
'He is in the West and his mother
is in the South, divorced. The boy
was to make his home in school"
The boy handsome, healthy
keenly intelligent, a boy to make
any mans heart proud, said, 'It's
this way. Every kid has his father
They tell me what their fathers do
what they say and all. They tell
me how they go on trips with their
fathers and the good times they
have with them. They ask me
Where's your dad?' and what car
l say? I've got nobody and wish
were dead"
The life of a child, his success in
the future, is in the hands of his
father and mother. That fact ought
to make some of the needless ones
take a second thought 'Woe to
that man by whom the offense
cometh,"

Just as necessary to a busy day
as a good cup of coffee in the morn
ing, the tailored buttonfront dress
is a standby fashion, year in and
year out, every day and all day! 1t
has a trim and casual chic that's
excellent for those who take wom-
ems sizes, and it's particularly good
in this season when tailored clothes
are favorite clothes. You get this
everyday Standby at its best in
design No. 1275-B, with slim-hip-
diminishing skirt and bodice gath
cred to create a high bustline. The
sleeves, either in bracelet or above
the-elboW length, are snugged in to
the arm by darts. It's very easy to

Some of the Most Inexpensive Meats Can Supply the Most Food Value
Will Relax
Muscles
'Occupational Kinks
Are Relieved by
Quick Workout
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.


When you get a kink in your
neck, your back or any other part
of your body it is a warning that
muscle, or several muscles, have
become tense through too concen-
trated activity or from holding poor
posture too long. That is why such
kinks are called occupational kinks.
Almost every one has experienced
such pain or fatigue after sitting
or working long time in one posi-
ton.
To relieve such pain you must stop
at once what you are doing. Get up
and stretch, clear your mind by
thinking of something else, and
take a few deep breaths of fresh
air. If the pain persists at the end
OF the day you have no alternative
than to go through a series of re-
laxing exercises or have some one
give you deep massage around the
area which hurts.
As neck, shoulder and back kinks
are the most common, I give you
below some exercises to relieve those.
You may practice these movements
at home or at your place of busi-
ness Of you can get out of sight
OF the bossD.
Stand up with feet slightly apart.
Draw in your abdomen, lift up your
chest and stretch your arms over
head. Relax. Now drop your arms
Imply to your sides and bend over
from the waist, allowing your head
to hang as it will In little Jerks
bend over more and more until you
touch the floor, keeping knees
straight and arms dangling. Then
slowly in little jerks come up to
erect position. You should feel great
relief in your back if you are doing
this exercise correctly.
Movement 2-Now stand erectly,
place hands on shoulders and hold
elbows shoulder high. Pull your
abdomen in and up, then press your
elbows back and down until your
shoulder blades meet. Holding this
position stretch your neck tall" and
slowly bend it forward and back
ward. Relax when you feel a pull
on your muscles. This relieves the
congestion which one often feels
at the base of the neck.
Movement 3-Hold both arms UP
in the air-not tense. Twist your
body so your arms will describe
wide, complete circle. Put your all
into this movement-feel as free as
bird. Go clockwise first, then
counter-clockwise.
These three movements should
give you a sense of ease and they
are simple to memorize-or clip this
column and put it in your desk
drawer or some other handy place
so you may refer to it when you get
the work-a-day blues. Never go on
working when muscles pain you un-
less it is absolutely necessary. When
you give your body such a beating
you later pay for it with loss of
beauty.

Milk Quantity

Add the milk boldly when making
biscuits. Pour it all at once into g.
"well" made in the flour shortening
mixture. Stir lightly, just until the
flour is moistened. A fork is the
gentleSt mixer. Two cups of hard
wheat flour require about "a cup
milk; 2 cups of soft wheat -four re-
quire about 2s cup milk.

friends. We three go out togetner
continually and have a great time.
NV husband often sees this woman
down town and when he comes home
tells me about it and what they said.
There is no thought of jealousy in
my mind, for trust my husband and
this woman implicitly, but it bothers
my neighbors a great deal and they
are always warning me against per-
mitting this intimacy in which I
share. What do you think? RUTH.
Answer-I think if there were
more intelligent, broad-minded
women, such as you are, there
would be fewer unfaithful husbands
having aff1nities on the sly.
It is the women who think that
their husbands cannot speak to an
other woman, or show another wonl-
an any attention, or be interested In
any other woman except in a lewd
manner that makes liars and de-
ceivers of men.
1t is perfectly ridiculous to think
that there cannot be clean and
wholesome friendship between
married man and woman. There
are plenty of women whom men
find congenial and entertaining and
amusing and to whom they like TO
talk; women whom they respect and
for whom they have a genuine al
fection that has not a particle OF
sentiment or romance in it.
Go your way unperturbed by the
gossips. Keep your friendship with
this woman.
Dear Miss Dix-There are two
bows who want to marry me. NO.
l is a very nice fellow, but he is
practical Joker and is always teasing
me and making fun OF me. He calls
me all sorts of funny names and
laughs at me about everything I do.
The other boy is very serious-mlnd-
ed, and he says he loves me because
lido not use cosmetics and don't f1irt
and only GO to nice parties. Which
one shall I take? HELEN.
Answer-No. 2 is the preferred
risk. BY all means pass up the
practical joker, for if there is one
husband more undesirable than an
other, it is the man who makes his
wife the butt of all of, his funny
stories.
Such a man is willing to cruelty
his wife for the sake of getting a
guffaw of laughter from the crowd.
He will drag any little weaknesses
of hers out into the light and hold
it up to the ridicule of others.
He will take any mistake that she
has made and dress it up and en-
bellish it until it makes her seem
perfect fool And regardless of the
hurt to her pride and her dignity, he
will show her off in this light to get
a glad hand for himself.
I have sat at many table where
the host entertained the company
by ridiculing his wife, and as have
watched the poor victim suffering as
she tried to smile and be a sport, I
have wished that somebody had the
courage to take the carving knife to
him, or that she was brave enough to
throw a soup plate at his head.
Wit has no place in the family
circle, and no woman has enough
sense of humor to enjoy being made
the point of joke. So whatever
else you marry, beware of the vii
lage cut-up. Besides, nobody else in
the world is such a bore as the per-
petual funny man. 1t is bad enough
to meet him occasionally without be-
ing married TO him.

the last two recommended only for
the dinner party giver, or for the
individual who does not have to
watch the pennies. Good lobster
meat is not too high to be wise
buy, for a little of it goes long
way-but still better is crab meat,
which seems exceptionally fine and
not too expensive this week.
Turkeys and chickens stay about
the same in quality and price.
Ducks are good, and although they
don't "go very far" in large house
hold they are pleasant for change
from the usual Sunday fare.
Florida oranges are getting better
all the time, but the juice IS still
a bit pale and not very full favored.
Plenty from California about though,
if you don't mind paying for them.
Grapefruit, especially the pink vari-
ETY., is vastly improved, with fine
textured pulp and sweet juice.
There are still some Concord grapes
to be seen here and there; the
California seedleSs have been over
ripe lately and not Of good keeping
quality. Tokays can replace them,
though. Large russell pears and the
Seckels from California are excellent,
as are CaSSaba and honeydeW mel
ons. Pineapples seem to be in slump
this week Vegetables show little
change; Idaho potatoes are being
featured in a great many markets;
in some, the first of the new, waxy
potatoes are taking the spotlight.
No little tiny ones yet, however.
Good broccoli at low prices is seen
everywhere, along with fine celery
cabbage and cauliflower. Plenty of
escarole and chicory for the salad
boWl-how we do miss the tender,
slightly bitter stalks of endive that
used to reach us from Belgium!
More of the midget-siZed zucchini
are available, delicious when cooked
whole, ar lightly seasoned with out
ter, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Those "baby" lima beans are def
nitely in the luxury class now-but
the regular ones are reasonable, and
have a nice, fresh, not too mealy
taste. Celery root sold with the tops
on seems to be increasingly popular,
judging from the supply noted in
all the stalls.

My Neiqhbor Says:

To remove thin brown skin
covering from nut meats, cover
the meats with boiling water
and let them stand 5 minutes
in a covered dish. Drain and
then quickly rub off the skins
with the fingers. A small, sharp
knife may be needed on Brazil
nuts.
Whenever possible add fla
voring extracts to a food when
1t is cool. If the food is hot,
much of the havoring will
vanish in steam. This does not
apply to baked foods, however.

Federal agency to bolster the market
and to offset the ;Csence of foreign

On floors of both warehouses that
sold in the forenoon was generous
mingling of business people with
'rowers, many of the latter having

observers of price trends. But there
was general satisfaction with the av-
erage en- the early sales.
It was estimated that 600 to zoe
thousand pounds of leaf were on the

opening break, and there was every

be cleared by closing time.
Afternoon sales moved from the
two houses that had opening opera
tons to the Farmers and the new
Carolina Warehouses. Both these
had big breaks. Ir mid-mornins il
appeared that all houses with sales
for the day would fail to clear up all
of their offerings, but ample space
was assured for growers who come
