Farmer Needed No Help
In Convincing Himself

Old Farmer Robinson broke his
pillow, so he decided to borrow one
from Farmer Brown.
On the way to the Brown farm
he started thinking: 81 wonder if
old Brown will let me take his
plow."
AS he got near to the neighbor-
ing farm he thought: 81 doubt if
he will lend me that plow."
Then as he knocked at the farm
house door: mo, Pm certain he
won't lend it to me-"
Farmer Brown came to the
door, smiled and asked, well,
what can I do for your"
II just came to say" snorted
Robinson, that you can keep your
bloomin' plow!"

for she naturally values it highly.
''Now don't think" the letter con-
cludes, "that I am criticizing my
wife. But I am working hard, pref
ty well burdened, and not satisfied
to face a future which may be an
indefinite repetition of this sort Of
thing. Can you make a suggestion
that I can pass on to her in the
hope that she will take a different
attitude toward extravaganza and
bills?"
The trouble began many years
ago, Tired Tim, when Bert was a
little girl. Perhaps because she had
no mother she evidently grew up
feeling that she had only to want
thing to buy it, and that there was
no relation between honest money
and dishonest bills. Thousands of
women much older than Bert have
this failing, and thousands of moth
ers let their daughters 60 into mar
riage without a hint of the serious
ness Of this oversight.
The simple truth is, any woman
who lets her husband worry about
finances is a poor wife. This seems
like a sweeping statement, but it
is true. To be only a money spend
er, squandering his hard-won sal
airy cheerfully on beauty parlors,
frock shops, theaters, club lunches,
bridge prizes, is to fail in your job,
and more marriages 60 on the rocks
because of this inexplicable stupidi-
ty on the part of intelligent women
than because of any other one thing.
It doesn't matter how fresh,
groomed, curled or frocked you are,
or how charming your house is,
with the new hangings, the new
china, the chromium chairs and the
venetian blinds. If your husband is
worrying about money, he hates it
all.
Husbands Like Serenity.
For men, surprisingly, aren't
fussy about furniture. They love
comfortable old chairs, familiar
lamps, Dads old desk' and
MONS old spoons" They even get
to like the dresses of yesterday;
many a wife has been exasperated
to answer, "I've had it three years."
when an affectionate husband COM
ments admiringly upon her costume.
What husband likes is serenity
at home, woman content and busy,
bills paid.
1 remember one young wife who
"fen madly in love" with the pic
ture of a nude girl by stream. It
was in the September Morn" era.
The picture cost $500. It was no
prettier than the picture on the gro
GERS calendar that year, but she
wanted it, and she had to have it.
She paid installments on it for more
than a year.
Her husband hated it, and friends
made fun of it. She told them she
was just storing it for Emily. Her
husband, run down and anxious,
died of pneumonia that winter, leav-
ing an estate of something less than
$1,000. Almost one-tenth of that had
to 60 for the picture. I hope she
felt it was worth while.

Tim" who writes me this let
ter? If you happen to be a
young wife the letter may help
you to see one of the pitfalls of
modern marriage little more
clearly than you do.
1 say modern marriage, be-
cause marriage used to be quite
a different thing a hundred
years ago. A girl was so glad to
get a husband then that she
practically idolized him. Fami-
lies were large, having from
eight to fifteen members. De-
pendent mothers and unmarried
sisters lived with the young
wife, and all together the women
handled the tremendous burden
of domestic duties.
They hung out long lines of wash;
cleaned windows; fed chickens;
cared for babies; started children
off for school; wrestled with coal
ranges and dirty CRATES; made fruit
cake and bed quilts; took rugs out
to the yard and beat them; put up
fruit; nursed the sick, and in be-
tween other jobs wrote voluminous
letters to dear old school friends.
It was natural in those days for
to advise the younger, and to re-
lieve the bride of too much house.
hold responsibility until she knew
how to handle it.
But it's different today. Each
bride launches out by herself. In
the following letter one young hus-
band explains just where his wife
fails him.
Wife Had No Training.
"Bert is the most adorable girl
in the world" writes Tired Tim,
"but she never had any training,
and money simply doesn't mean
anything to her. We talked budget
before we were married, and
worked it out on paper, but she's
never glanced at it nor given it a
thought since.
"We've been married two years
and have a baby, seven months old.
I wish you could see what Bert got
for the child. Perambulator, high
chair, crib, bathinette, sterilizing
outfit, blankets = it came to 5000
more than our budget for him had
allowed. My salary is $85 a week,
but carry insurance and contrib
ute $40 a month as rent for my
mother, who has a pension; also
pay $87 for our house including taxes
and amortization of debt, and about
$40 more monthly for refrigerator,
stove and SO on.
"These expenses will lessen as
time goes on, but Bert already has
found larger place she likes better,
where we will have a room for a
maid. We now have only dinner
help.
Bert is hospitable, and nothing is
too good for her friends. In plan
ming menus she spares no expense.
Let's have steaks again, and a
mousse, and alligator pears she
will say Our friends are all better
fixed financially than we are, and
my wife likes to keep up with them.
Very Much In Debt.
Last week my office boss told
me that they had considered me for
q promotion, but the fact that l was
about $500 in debt to doctor, hos
pital. dentist, florist, and SO on,
seemed to them serious thing and
they wanted an explanation. Fool

HITLER CARVEs TURKEY

The reported new French hookup
with Hitler comes at an especially
bad time for the British-which I'M
doubtedly is why the Nazis put the
screws on Vichy so vigorously. I'm
der these circumstances the Nazi
squeeze on Turkey can be expected
to tighten almost momentarily.
In fact, the more the Nazi drive
in Russia boys down with weather,
the more likely is Hitler to take the
easier, warmer, short cut through
Turkey toward the oil fields of the
Caucasus-and also toward the Brit
ish oil fields in Mosul and the Eu-
pirates valley.
For months the Nazis have been
bringing small boats down to the
Aegean via the Balkan railroads
and the Danube, and are reported
almost ready for landing party at
tacks on coastal points in the Mid
die East.
Preparing to meet this, General
Wavell has been sending con-
slant stream of reinforcements from
India, most of them to Iran, Iraq
and Palestine. The British say they
are in fairly good shape-though still
woefully weak in tanks.
Faced with this crisis, the Turks
as unusual, continue to be the enigma
of Europe. Diplomatic betting is
they will bow to Hitler.

LITTLE BUSINESS


LITTLE BUSINESS
The President has on his desk q
confidential report that would warm
the heart of the defense-harried lit
tie business man If he could read it.
Submitted by Lowell Mellett. one
of the passion for anonymity" White
House secretaries, following q care
full survey in IS states, the memo
randum by inference severely criti-
cizes OPM and war department ham
ding of defense contracts.
Mellett found that little business
generally is bitterly disguised with
the whole defense administration, is
convinced that it is being run by
big business and corporation law
yers, and is up in arms politically
about the matter. Mellett warns
that the administration had better
do something about the situation
and do it fast or it will be just too
bad in next years crucial congress
sional elections.
A long list of specific grievances
are detailed in the report: Little
firms are excluded from defense
orders in favor of big competitors.
even though there was no difference
in their prices. Endless run-arounds
from OPM and army brasshats be-
cause the little business men had
no "in" with the big shots. Small
manufacturers put out of business
by the priority system which en-
ables big concerns with defense con-
tracts to hog supplies of raw ma
terials.
Mellett also implies that the Divi-
sion of Contract Distribution, estab-
lished several months ago to help
little business, has SO far accom-
plished very little in the way of re-
suits. Small business is still out in
the cold when it comes to getting an
equitable share of defense work.
The gist of the report is an old
story to the President. For months
others have been telling him the
same thing, although not SO COM
prehensively and effectively. The
creation of SPAB and the Contract
Distribution division was an effort
to remedy the situation. But these
agencies are manned with the same
type of executives who have been
running the defense program from
the start-big business men.
There isn't one little business man
among them.
Lone Refuge.
In TACT, in all of Washington there
is only one place where little bust
ness man is functioning in behalf
of small business.
That is in the justice department,
where trust-busting Assistant At
torney General Thurman Arnold has
set up Small Business section and
installed as its head genuine little
business man.
He is Guy Holcomb, strapping,
two-fisted Atlanta filling station OPP
orator, who has never had a pub
lie job before, hates redtape, and
loves nothing better than to tangle
with a brasshat who is pushing
around little fellow.
Operating from a cubby-hole Of
fee, with only secretary as his
assistant, and without fanfare and
hoopla, Holcomb in the month he has
been functioning already has
chalked up an impressive record as
defender of little business men.
He has got them contracts, supplies,
and entry to official doors previously
closed.
If you are little business man
and are having defense troubles,
Holcomb is the one man in Washing
ton to tell them to. He may not be
able to help you, but he'll certainly
try. There will be no complaint on
that score.

Kardstick Used
in Determining
StarDistances

oPASADENA, Calf, March "a
--(R-Dr. Ralph e. Wilson has
worked out q new astronomical
yardstick by using rare. super
giant &C" type stars.
Il will serve to determine dis
tances to these stars, among the
largest in the sky, and to nearby
star systems.
Only about 400 Of the stars
have been found, the Mount Will
son observatory astronomer said
today. He used 246 Of them in
his studies.
They range in color from
: red. orange, yellow. whitishyel-
low and white to blue" said DR..
Wilson.
"They are distinguished from
other stars by the abnormal In
tensities Of the hydrogen lines
and by the sharpness Of the oxy-
gen, nitrogen, iron and silicon
lines In their spectra.
If we have the average &C.
tual brightness of each star by
color and its apparent brightness
we can readily compute its dis
lance.
These supergiants can be sin.
gled out in some nearby star
systems. BY determining the
stars distance, we know the dis
lance Of the entire star system
