After the earlier unsuccessful
attacks on Leon Trotsky in Mexico,
KrivitSky redoubled his vigilance.
After TrotSky finally was Killed,
ikrivitsky rarely appeared in public.
He felt sure that OGPU/ agents

attorney that he had recognized
one in New York several weeks
ago.
Krivitsky declared that the
Soviet military intelligence enlists
Communist Party officials and
leaders in all countries to work
for IT.
ut Is their duty to aid the
Soviet government In every
sphere I'm which IL operates" he
said. adding that the 100000
Communist Party members in
the United States could be con-

Excitement
May Make
Child Ill
Plan Quiet Program
To Bring Sleep on
Christmas Eve
By Lettuce Lee Street,

During the carefree days Of child
hood, days that should sing with
happiness and laughter, there Is
probably not one that brings such
a thrill to children as does Christ
mas eve. All day long the anticipa-
ton of seeing the tree. opening pres
ents and searching the length OF the
wonderful, bulgy stockings has been
almost too exquisite to bear. The
mystery and enchantment Of Christ
mas make small backs tingle. and
as mother bustles about the house
the children trail along behind her
like eager puppies, their noses
wrinkled with Joy at the tantalizing
smells of goodies cooking In the
kitchen.
Such excitement Is as much fun
as anything in life can be.
The very high-strung child can
actually make himself Ill with the
thrill OF it all, and 1t Is wise to
give all young children q light sup
per on Christmas eve. and an early
one. Afterward is, indeed, the chill
dren's hour the land over, the time
when stockings are hung by the
chimney with care" and small people
sit close to daddy or mummie to
ask questions about Santa Claus and
to listen to stories about this glad
season and sing songs in celebra-
ton.
A program may be thought out
for Christmas eve that will bring
to children the spirit Of Christmas
and that will tend to calm their
keyed-up, teeming little minds so
that sleep will be possible later on.
1t is fun for the family to sing
hymns together, and to read stories.
Young children, as well as grown
ups, never seem to tire of hearing
the famous verses Of The Night
Before Christmas"
There are always beautiful radio
programs of choruses singing the
beloved old carols, and softly-played
photograph records serve as an &C
compartment for the family when
they join in singing Holy Night
Little Town of Bethlehem" and
other tuneful hymns that are easy
for children to learn.

the plague. And that is another
source Of complaint. She can't un-
derstand why everybody doesn't
realize what a martyr she is and
mingle their tears with hers.
Now. in reality, this woman, along
with the other self-pitiers. rates no
sympathy because there is nothing
she enjoys so much as just wallow-
ing in trouble, and the more mel
ancholy she is, the better time she
is having. That is the reason you
can never cheer her up or make
her see the bright side of anything.
She doesn't want to be happy. She
doesn't get the morbid thrill out
of Joy that she does out of misery.
1t makes her feel that she is a
tragic and darkly romantic figure
to never get over" things and to
prefer cemeteries to night clubs.

other vice that will do more to dis
integrate her own character and
wreck her family than for her to
acquire the self-pitying habit. 1t
takes away from her every particle
OF strength and makes her turn
into q gutter who sits down and
howls before the difficulties Of life
instead Of fighting her way through
them, and it makes her the most

Manners
Of the
Nome Mt

I'm getting pretty mad ABOUT
these men who laugh at their worn-
enfolk for attempting to do car
pentry.
I should like to point out to them
that a woman who saws a board or
nails down a shelf usually does 1t
for one of two reasons. Either she
hasn't been able to get the man OF
the house to do 1t. Or, she likes to
saw and nail.
Now if she is saving and mailing
Tor the first reason what right has
the man of the house to stand OH
with that superior grin on his face
and make fun of her? He should
either offer to finish the job him
self, or he should give her a proper
and serious-minded lesson in saving
and mailing straight. But when he
stands by and says, Just like a
woman. You're getting 1t crooked"
he really deserves to 60 to bed with
out his supper.
And if a girl is saving and mailing
for the second reason, then the
chances are that she Is doing Tor
will eventually learn to do a good
Job. So again, a man shouldn't
stand off and laugh at her. He
should encourage her to enjoy her
little hobby.

lesson for today. JEAN.

expensive suggestion.

Among the women who should
have something drastic, with boiling
oil in 1t, done to them are the self
pitiers. Such women do more to
wreck marriages. break down the
morale of their families and drive
their husbands and children away
from home than all the liquor and
sirens and hot spots combined.
They are the greatest domestic
pests, and those who are afflicted
with them are singularly helpless
to deal with them as they deserve.
For how can you mete out the
punishment she has coming to a
poor, whimpering creature who is
sodden with tears and crushed with
misery? So the breast-beater goes
unhindered on her way, filling the
air with her means and lamenta-
tons, being a wet blanket on every
festive occasion and making the
home about as cheerful as a tomb
and, while We may think that she
has nothing more to worry over
than the balance OF us. we haven't
the courage to call her bluff and
tell her to pull of her act and
show a little spunk In meeting life.
A girl who has one OF these gobs Of
gloom for a mother wants to know
if there is anything she can do to
chirk her up and make her act like
a reasonable human being instead
Of q cry baby. She says that moth
err really has it pretty soft If she
only thought so. She has de-
voted husband who wears himself

and a comfortable living and nice
children who behave themselves and
give her no cause to worry. She is
strong and husky and has no more
cares and work than every woman
VINO brings up family.
You would think mother would
think she was q lucky woman and
wear the smile Of contentment, but
not so. Life is just one long sob
to her, with nothing in 1t to laugh
about. Her world Is a complete
blackout without ray OF light In
it and she is the most unhappy and
unfortunate individual In it, the
victim of some malign fate.
Her one topic is her woes. Moth
ing can distract her from that sub
iect and the result Is that she has
not only driven her family frantic
but made herself such a bore that

The girl in her teens is eager TO

guardians should face the fact and
help the youngster in selecting ap-

There is no reason why an ado

young girl should use complexion

Other days she should wash her face
