DEAR MISS DIX: Are mothers
ever justified in nagging? If my
sons 90 out in the rain without rub
bers and catch cold and get sick,
don't I have to take care of them?
If they do not save their money,
don't have to keep, them in feed
when they are out of work? If they
get into trouble, don't I have to get
them out of it? 1t is the mother
who always has to foot the bill.
People say, Tell a child once and
let it go at that" but what good
does telling child anything once
do? am a nagger because my
children force me to be.
DISCOURAGED.
Answer-A famous psychologist
says that the reason women nag is
their desire for prominence and
their effort to dominate their fam
lilies. No doubt this is true, but
think that there is a still stronger
motive behind their nagging. It is
love.
A wife nags her husband about
what he eats, about what he wears,
about where he sits, about looking
out for cars when he crosses the
street, about smoking, about every
thing he does and leaves undone,
because he is the whole world to her
and the thought of losing him terri
des her.

Don't Worry
About the
Future
Encourage Children
To Prepare for 1t
By Fine Education
By ANGELO PATRI,

Many fathers and mothers are
looking forward to tomorrow for
their children, with dread in their
minds. ''Why bring children into
such a world? Nothing but trouble;
no work, no money, no hope. Moth
ing but taxes, and the threat OF
wars. What have our children to
look forward to?"
All OF life. Just what you had to
look forward to when you were
young. Nobody assured you of safe
ty. Maybe you felt safer then be-
cause there was no radio, no tele-
vision flashing every twitter of every
jittery person in every nook and
Granny of earth to your private ear.
Yet war came in your time. And
peace, too. And in your day the sun
rose in morning splendor: the birds
sang; grass grew and water ran;
you laughed and cried and worked
and played. And In the tomorrow
Just about to come over the horizon
your child will do the same.
Maybe 1t Is small comfort, but
1t is certainly a fact that nothing
has happened to us that thas not
happened to somebody else before
time. Nothing can happen to our
children that has not happened
to other folks children in days
gone by. And yet the world kept
on its way, and its people lived
on through good days and bad to
enjoy their lives even more than
their fathers enjoyed theirs.
Tomorrow is in doubt. Tomorrow
was always in doubt to the extent
of its particular needs being secret.
But its general, its basic need is no
secret. Tomorrow will need men
and women of trained intelligence,
seasoned souls, adaptable minds, m-
classified unregimented workers. To
that end the part of wisdom is to
train our boys and girls to work
intensively at whatever their hands
find to do. To shirk no learning,
however difhcult; to evade no dis
cipline, no matter how strict; to
count no human experience as trif-
ling or below their dignity. Teach
them that the richer the furnish
ings Of their minds the more power
they will exert on and in their time,
and help them to that end.
A sound general education is
something to covet for our chill
dhen. Any child capable of TAX
ing it should have it. After that
the best technical training in what
ever field they choose should be
offered them. I have no doubt
whatever that well-educated, we'll
trained, thoroughly grounded young
men and women with vision and
purpose will be in great demand to-
morrow and the day after, forever.
There is no need to be discouraged
about youths future. Prepare for it.
Encourage children to prepare for it.

envy. The Florentine silver, you
know, is dull and very heavy looking

With your luscious pastel frocks
and hats, we can't think of any,
thing that will go better than one
of the pale necklaces and bracelets
in pink, yellow, blue or green i.
These are new and "springy" look
ing and should do wonders to pep
up that tired old black dress right
about now. In leafy designs. they're
light in weight as well as in color
In spite of the fact that we almost
killed gold jewelry forever by run
ming it to the ground this winter,
there is still a variety of gold to
be found, and with some clothes
nothing else goes so well Even
the Gone With The Wind" influ-
ence is found in gold jewelry with
pastel stones, fashioned after the
ornaments worn by Scarlet and
Melanie in the movie :. . In general,
however, it does seem that jewelry
of all kinds is less bulky looking,
turning more to delicate patterns.
This idea should be proved or dis
proved little later on, for it, merely
a guess at the moment.
When you're deciding on new or
naments, don't overlook the rings,
for they're fascinating. Huge canoes,
or solid pieces of imitation onyx lend
interest to your costumes, and you'll
also find number of silver rings
at small cost. One particularly en-

at that price it isn'D, and we'll ven-

person would look at it in admira-

have to spend a small fortune to
obtain it.

much money the Dizzy Dozen threw
away while hanging around the
store. He discovered that the IL
fellows who were there most regu-
larly averaged at lease a dollar each
a week on the punch boards and
pinball games.
That was about $50 a month
which they were spending on recre-
ation-and they weren't getting
much for their money.
That was the germ of Fred's
idea. He secuted around the
neighborhood and found a large
second-hoor room that could be
rented for $25 90 a month, including
light and heat. He suggested to the
other fellows that they rent it as
an informal club room, and that
they furnish it with chairs and
tables brought from home, or pieces
that they could make themselves.
The idea caught on. Within a
month the Dizzy Dozen was real
club of 16 members, with a snug
club room furnished with plenty of
chairs, card tables. rack full of
magazines, small library, radio
and a phonograph. Fred was elect
ed president, business meetings were
held every two weeks and dues were
set at two dollars a month. They
covered the rent and started fund
to improve the club room.
Doc, the druggist, has shown his
gratitude by keeping the club sup
piled with magazines. (He claims
he's ahead on this deal, because
now he merely gives them single
copy Of few popular periodicals
whereas formerly they soiled many
magazines by thumbing endlessly
through them.) He also occasion
ally sends up carton of cigarettes
and the fellows repay his kindness
by continuing to give him theil
business. Meanwhile, other custom
ers are coming back to Docs store
no longer repelled by the crowd
loafing just inside or outside the
entrance.
All the fellows are enthusiastic
about their club. They have adopted
fairly strict rules, to keep the club
room from getting rowdy reputa-
ton, but it's still a place where the
crowd can come and relax In com.
