Here is a letter from a woman
who has made a series of hasty
mistakes, and who feels that to
make a fresh series would be the
way out.
81 am 49," writes Em-Bee, from
Indianapolis. 81 was married at
10, and have two sons, seven and
four. That first marriage was a
girls mistake; Ted seemed to me
the epitome of everything that was
wonderful, but I was too much of
a kid really to judge a man as a
husband. We were miserable from
the start, quarreling, making it up,
quarreling again. One of my babies
was delicate and the other unman-
ageable, and we had very little
money.
''Ted's mother came to stay with
us and ran things generally. She
ran them so well that she ran me
out and I went home to my step
mother, as I cannot stand the man
my own mother married after di-
vorcing my father. We lived at an
army post and / became intimate
with an officer who was a married
man. I don't excuse this, but was
carried away by his devotion to a
lonely, bewildered girl of "a. This
gave Ted an excuse to ask for COM
plete guardianship of the boys,
which was granted him. Floyd's
wife divorced him and we were
married.
'Ted died last December and his
mother has my boys. They come to
see me now and then, but we are
strangers. My husband does not
understand how a mother feels
about her children. We have been
married three years and as yet ]
have no hope of another child.
Ted's mother, who is well fixed,
says she is going to take the boys
to another city and place them in
school, and Floyd feels that that is
a good thing for them. But they
are mine, mine, mine, and I will
not have them carted about as if
they had no mother.
Can't Help Her.
"On the other hand, we have only
Floyd's pay, not sufficient for the
many expenses connected with two
growing boys. l feel strongly that
have made many mistakes in
handling my life, and am anxious
not to make any more.
What do you think of my present
plan of going to Reno for divorce,
asking an alimony that will permit
me to learn profession that will
support my children, and suing my
mother-in-law for their custody?
Does that seem the best thing?"
Em-Bee is not speaking honestly
when she says this, nor when she
speaks of mothers feeling for her
children. Having broken up her own
Life and Floyd's and Ted's and the
children's, no advice will save her
now from crashing ahead into fur
Their mistakes.
Time will always work a miracle
if we choose to wait for it. A liza
bility suddenly becomes an asset,
and the woman who has learned to
find content in the depths of her own
soul comes into her own. The worse
the circumstances, the surer time
is to better them.
Women who never look within for
possible opportunities of improve.

ing in self-development, and who,
above all, have never studied the
revolutionary and salutary cures eff
fected by time, are quite beyond

shenko had been reported as at
tempting to separate the German
forces to permit trapped troops to
escape.
Two of the divisions the Russian
communique dated the same as the
German had said, had completed
their junction with the Timoshenko
forces 'only that morning"
The Russians admitted the Crimea
was cut off from the mainland, but
asserted that defense lines had been
holding firm both from frontal at
tacks and from an air-borne inva-
sion from the rear.
In fact the Russians claimed that
the positions of her troops in the
Crimea and at Odessa constituted
a menace to the German right wing
which the Nazis were fighting des-
perately to remove.
The Germans listed, in addition to
the Kiev-southern successes, which
they had maintained were complete
and in the hopping up stage, drastic
defeats of Russian naval forces, the
blooming" of Leningrad, and that
it was ''too late" for effective aid
from the United States or Britain.

ments, ignoring the reports of Brit
ish planes actually on the front and
fighting, sis on paper and will stay
there if Russia must depend on
transport through Iran and through
Arctic seas, or through Siberia.

OIL NEED:
Seen BY Reds

The SoAiet, declaring that the ad-
vent of heavy SHOWS will be a death
blow to Nazi hopes of quick victory,
pointed to the about German drive
toward the Caucasus as sure sign
that Germany needs oil to win the
war.
The Moscow News had published
an article saying, in part:
"It is only on the east front that
winter plays big part, and on the
west front, where Hitler has I'M
solved problems, the need of oil is
terrific.
''He is playing for big stakes in
this furious drive toward the Cau-
casian oil fields.
Effective action east and west is
essential to foil Hitler's attempt to
keep his war machine going"
The paper further stated that Ger
many had used up two-thirds of her
oil reserves in the war against Rus

"Mail call sounds as sweet as
pay call when the folks back home
send a carton of cigarettes or a
tin of tobacco" This is the con-
census among men in all branches
of the service who have ranked
tobacco first in the gift line. Actual
sales records from service stores
in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard-showing the IA
vorite cigarette is Camel. The
popular smoking tobacco is Prince
Albert. Local dealers have been
featuring cartons of Camels and

welcome gifts from the folks back
home to the boys In the service.

ITALY:

Italy, according to reports both
from Rome and from Alexandria,
showing both sides of the picture,
had been suffering heavily in late
weeks of the war.
It was a ''black" sea-month for
Italian vessels, said the British At
rican command, claiming that sink
ings had totaled more than 100000
tons, that four liners of more than
&c, 000 tons each, and each of them
capable of carrying 5000 German
troops to Africa, had been put out of
commission.
In addition % troop and supply
ships were claimed to have fallen
victims of British patrols.
At the same time Rome admitted
that the war was cutting into her
bread, heat and spaghetti supplies.
Bread was rationed more severely,
spaghetti cooking has been reduced
by half, and rationing of shoes and
clothing was soon to be announced,
Rome said.
The cabinet had met under Mus
solini, and had approved a set of
laws which would throw practically
ali the nations capital into war
bonds.

PROFITS:
And Patriotism

Profits, or restriction of them, had
been linked to patriotic war efforts
by Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau in a proposal for a bill for
a proit-ceiling of 6 per cent on in
vested capital.
This had received warm recep-
ton in certain capital circles, and
not so warm in others. Senator
George of Georgia, head of the SEN
ate finance committee, bitterly at

tackled the proposal on the ground
that it would result in incalculable
hardship to legitimate business,
would disrupt defense production
and crush and kill small business"
He urged congress to 'slet the ink
dry" on the $500, 100000 tax bill
before entering into another, larg-
er revenue producer on a basis to
take all of the profits of business
save per cent.
Most senators and representative
had been slow to comment, content
ing themselves with saying they'd
like to ''think it over" and to ''know
more about it." 1t was when the
word had gone out that Morgenthau
had been drawing up such bill,
and when senators began to believe
that it must have White House APP
prevail that Senator George launched
his attack.
SHIPS:
The launching of IA ships all on
the same day at U. S. shipyards
had marked an epoch in American
shipbuilding, and was hailed by the
President with congratulatory tele-
grams sent to each launching.
He revealed that this was part of
a program that by next spring
would see two vessels going down
the ways every day, and by the end
of 1913 would see the United States
having built at least 1000 merchant
vessels to help regain the mastery
and freedom of the seas.
The nation hailed the day as
Liberty Fleet day." and the
launchings occurred not only all up
and down the Atlantic seaboard, but
also at Pacific shipbuilding ports.
Said the President, in a transcribed
broadcast played on a recording
machine at each launching:
1--WE Americans as whole cannot
listen to those few Americans who
preach the gospel of fear-who say
in effect that they are still in favor
of freedom of the seas but who would
have the United States tie up our YES
sells in our ports. That attitude is
neither truthful nor honest"

for an American woman
~ to learn is to leave any,
thing to time. We are an impa-
tent people, and whatever we
do must be accomplished in a
very fury of speed. Hundreds
of women 60 to Reno for di-
vorces every year, only to
plunge into fresh matrimonial
experiments the moment they
are free. Decisions that should
be made only after months or
even years of planning and
praying, they reach in few mo-
ments. Having failed conspicu-
ously in one attempt at wife
hood, they plunge into another,
sure that if happiness doesn't
wait on one pathway it must on
some other.
But happiness and charac-
ter and success in marriage
are things of slow growth. They
are never ready-made. 1t takes
months and sometimes years OF
patient effort to work out even the
simplest domestic problem, and in
these days almost no marital prob
lem is simple. Impotence and
marriage never mix.
Threats of European conquest and
invasion from sea or air have never
given me a moments concern. But
the destruction of that all-important
marriage-through
the hasty and ill-considered action
of husbands and wives who flock to
divorce courts at the first sign OF
trouble, is a real blow at the safety
of the nation.
Divorce Is an Evil.
Divorce is not a solution, it is an
unmitigated evil and it ought to be
used sparingly, like the poisonous
drugs that help pain, or the sur
geon's knife that is employed only
in the last emergency.
somewhat lessened, we are going to
be a nation without homes; and a
nation without homes is no nation at
all.
It doesn't hurt children to grow
up in the care of a mother who is
silently enduring difficulties and in
justices. 1t hurts them irreparably
to be told by their mother that
Daddy is a bad man; and by Dad
dy's mother that their own mother
is so selfish and vain that poor Dad
dy had to leave her.
In the beginning the men and
women who contemplate divorce al
ways assert eagerly that there will
not be this sort of criticism before
the children. But when those chill
dren, missing their father, shifted
uncomfortably about, trying to &C.
custom themselves to stepfather,
ask wistfully why their own Daddy
has gone away, then Mother has to
take defensive attitude.
So she tells them how mean
Daddy was to her, wouldn't give
her any money, and liked another
lady better than Mummy, and twist
ed her arm. And when they tell
their paternal grandmother this she
can only counter majestically,
'Well, Mummy doesn't always say
what's true, dear. She was very
unkind to poor Daddy. Don't be-
lieve everything Mummv says.''
The army of the children of di-
vorced parents-that's the army we
ought to fear. What possible train
ing in self-control, consideration,
patience can they derive from the
ill-disciplined man and woman they
call their parents? And how find
happiness against background of
changes, recriminations, charges
and countercharges?
