VICHY, France, April 11.-Mar-
shall Petain's cabinet announced to-
day that French frontiers were
closed to all Frenchmen between IT
and 40 years of age to prevent their
fleeing to join the forces of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, free French"
leader.
(The Chicago Daily News cor
respondent in Vichy reported
that the cabinet communique
warned of the death penalty for
any attempt to cross the frontiers
for the purpose of joining Gen.
de Gaulle's forces).

said, young Frenchmen are carry

German authorities in the occupied
zone"
The statement said the De Gaull-
ist sympathizers included chiefly
youths, intellectuals, professors,
journalists and politicians.

the heads of families to convince
their sons that there are more use

split loyalties in France.
De Gaulle Not Mentioned.
Although Gen. De Gaulle was not
mentioned in Marshal Petains
speech it was said that he was the
object of the marshal's remarks.
Informed sources here said there
had been an unfavorable reaction
in some quarters to the stress laid
abroad on Marshal Petain's recent
statement that France should take
no action against their former Brit
ish allies.
His statement on this point did
not appear in the texts of the speech
published in the occupied zone.

Advance on Central Front

BERN. Switzerland, April II tPD.-
Yugoslavia acknowledged last night
that the Germans had made prog
ress against defending forces on the
central front.
A terse communique said the
Nazis had occupied Paracin and
nearby Cuprija in the Morava VAL
ley, about 80 miles south of Bel
grade and some so miles west of the
Rumanian frontier. This sector is
about 100 miles north of Skoplje,
through which the Germans
marched in their drive to slice the
country into two segments.
The bulletin declared, however,
that Yugoslav troops had halted the
invaders in their tracks in the Viro-

Perhaps no other one thing in the
world has broken more hearts,
caused more divorces and wrecked
the lives of more children than the
possessive love of women. And the
bitterly ironic part of the tragedy
is that those who commit the crime
are also victims of it, for it is wom-
ems demand to be all-in-all to those
they love that results in their be-
ing nothing at all to them. AS
sex, women are extremists. They
are seldom moderates, and this urge
to overdo everything never ex-
presses itself so disastrously as it
does in their relationship with their
families They are never satisfied
to be loved or to love sincerely,
sanely, nationally. They demand a
complete monopoly Of their husbands
and children and to shut out from
them every other human being,
thought and interest. If you will
consider the domestic troubles Of
women, you will find that this pos
sessive love is at the bottom of al
most every one of them. To begin
with, it is the main reason why
men leave home, They go to get
a breath of freedom and to keep
from being smothered to death in
gooey and sticky affection. When
a young chap marries a girl he does
so because he loves her and finds
her interesting and thinks he would
enjoy spending the balance Of his
life with her. But it does not make
him oblivious to everything else on
earth but her. She is his paramount

Sleek Style
For White
TreSSeS
Kinky' Couture
To Be Avoided
At All Cost
BY Patricia Lindsay

Many are the women whose hair
has turned white long before 1t
should have lost its color, and their
problem is how to dress it smartly
and youthfully This problem has
been given due consideration by
leading stylists throughout the
country.
Hair which has whitened prema-
turely loses some of its elasticity.
1t is likely to. feel dry and coarse
to the touch. What actually has
happened is the failure of the cells
to produce oil and pigment because
Of an unknown malnutrition. Be-
cause the hair has changed texture
1t must be handled very carefully.
Only certain waving solutions can
be used on white hair, and a curl
ing iron should never be used on 1t,
for heat can quickly turn white hair
to yellow.
If one can find capable operator
1t is best to have soft permanent
wave put into the hair to give it
body and also to make it possible
for the hairdresser to set it in lovely
waves and soft, flattering ringlets.
If woman with white hair is ad-
vised not to have permanent wave
by her hairdresser she should then
curl her hair with leather curriers' or
have it set with water-wave combs.
White hair may be worn either
long or short. The shorter length
is, in my opinion, the smarter, for
1t can be combed in several styles.
All styles should be sleek and simple,
for kinky or frizzy white hair is not
pretty.
Long hair may be shortened and
curled in front. The hair should be
parted from ear to ear across the
crown, dividing it in two. The back
hair should remain straight. The
front part should be thinned, shaped
and curled.
If the hair is brought up away
from the ears it takes Years off a
womans appearance and enables her
to, point up her beauty with attrac-
tive earrings.
The woman with white hair must
take every precaution not to look
dowdy. Her hair style must be
smart, and her hair must have gloss,
either through brushing and scalp
massage or from the application of
a pomade or other corrective lubri-
cation.

interest, but he also takes an in
terest In his business and politics
and his old friends and amusements.
If he has been unfortunate
enough to get possessive woman
for wife. however, he soon dis
covers that she thinks there was
something in the wedding ceremony
that turned him over to her, body
and soul, and that he Is committing
lese-ma jeSte when he takes the
slightest interest in anything but
her or enjoys any society but hers
Every one knows that virtually
the first thing that every bride
does is to separate her husband
from his old friends. male and fe-
male, and to shoe them out of the
door. She simply can't stand know
ing that there were people whom
he knew and liked and played about
with before he ever saw her.
If a man had a hobby, or If
he enjoyed any particular sport,
his possessive wife also proceeds to
eliminate that. She is as jealous
of a fish as she could be of a mer-
maid, and, besides, she doesn't think
he has right to spend any time
and money on anything but her.
The possessive wife even resents
her husbands interest in the busi-
ness that supports her, and no COM
plant is more often heard among
married women than that their hus-
bands neglect them for that "old
Office" They think their husbands
should make money with one hand
and hold theirs with the other.
Of course, some men suffer them
selves to be gobbled up by their
wives and thereafter have no in
dividual. lives of their own. They
are merely slaves who burn incense
before their tyrants. But the ad-
venturous and the courageous make
a dash for liberty and become the
philanderers, or the clubmen, or
the sportsmen.
So, taking it by and. large, the
quickest and easiest way to lose a
husband is for his wife to try to be
everything to him. For no man
wants a wife who is everything to
him. He wants more variety in the
menu than just one dish.
But if the possessive wife is an
affection, the possessive mother Is
a curse on her children. She can't
bear for them to love any one else,
not even their father. So she sep
arates them from him in their in
fancy by never letting him play
with them, or take them anywhere
unless she is along, or have any
authority over them, and by hold
ing him up to them as a brute who
will punish them If they are bad
and a tightwad out of whom she
has to wheedle every cent for their
indulgences.
Thus she commits the unpardon-
able wrong of depriving father of
the affections of the children he
works to support and of keeping the
children from having the benefit
of their fathers guidance in the
formation of their characters.
And the possessive mother not
only keeps her children babies long
after they should be on their own
feet and thus makes weaklings of
them, but she shuts the doors of
opportunity in their faces when
their fortunes call them to some
place away from her. And she con-
demns them to lonely and loveless
lives by keeping them from marry
ing because she cannot bear for
them to care more for any one else
than for her and to set up homes
of their own.

MY son is years Old and he is

any foods that are good for him,
hates green vegetables and meats
and refuses to eat at mealtime. To
get any food into him at all, feed

would stop giving your little boy
anything at all to eat between meals
for a few days at least. You may
try to plan his daily menus to in
clude dishes to which he has the
least aversion.
This is going to be struggle for
you, as it is evident that you have
allowed your small son to over
rule you, but I assure you that it
will be better for him in the long
run if you will be firm now.
If a child eats sweets between
meals his appetite Is inevitably i'm
paired for the other necessary foods
that contain proteins, fats, miner
ais and vitamins.
After you have trained your lad
to realize that he must eat at meal
time you may start giving him ad-
ditional food in the middle Of the
morning and the afternoon. But
these small lunches should always
consist of foods included in the
child's daily diet needs. This is
true Of all children. Candy, cake
and ice cream are not suitable be-
tween meal foods. Instead of these
child should be given milk. and
a whole wheat cracker, fruit or vege-
able juices or fresh fruits.
Some chlldren eat only small
amounts at mealtime and it is well
for the mother of such child to
give him two additional light meals
each day. This is a wise plan for
children who are underWeight or
who easily become fatigued. If
your child seems to improve when
you give him between-meal feed
ings you may safely make this prac-
tice a part of his daily routine.
Please allow me to make one more
suggestion: I wish that you would
take your small son to a doctor for
a checkup. You did not say how
long he has been living on this de-
ficient diet or tell me his actual
weight. But I know that you do
not want to take any risk with your
boys precious health. so please con-
suit a pediatrician without delay.
