Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: My husband was
In the service for over three years
and since his discharge from the
Army about year ago there seems
to be something lacking in our mar
ried life which is causing satisfac-
ton on his part. We love each other
dearly and neither of us wants a
divorce. He hasn't fallen in love
with any other woman, yet he seems
uninterested and bored and wants
only to be by himself or with men
friends.
Since we are living in the home of
his parents I am not free to enter
tain our friends, particularly as they
are the old-fashioned kind who
would not approve of any gaiety. Is
there anything I can do to salvage
our marriage and make 1t success
C. H. o.
Answer-You are confronting a
problem which millions of other
wives are going to have to face after
the war, and that Is how to house
break their husbands again and ad-
just them once more to domestic life
The situation is full of complications
and it is going to take all of the love
Of bride, the patience of martyr,
and the wisdom Of seer to solve It,
for 1t is made up of conflicting emo
tions and dreams and disillusions
and disappointments to which is
added the cussedness and contrari-
ness of human beings.
For three years you and your hus-
band have been parted and you
have been through all sorts of ex-
periences that have changed you
Evening star., 1944-11-22

both, and it has aged you years be-
yond the actual time of separation
You are no longer light-hearted and
gay, yet that Is what each of YOU
expected the other to still be when
you are united again. You can't
take up your marriage just where
you laid 1t down and feel toward
each other just as you did when he
marched OF to war. And that feel
ing OF Illustration creeps into your
attitude toward each other without
your realizing 1t.
Then your husband has been
through ordeals that left him physi-
cally and mentally and emotionally
exhausted To man who has
known the horrors and excitements
OF war: who has seen death and
known suffering: who has watched
commonplace men turn suddenly
into shining heroes, just ordinary
everyday life, where nothing more
exciting than having steak for din
ner happens, is bound to fall fiat.
And that is why the returning SOL
diers find their only comradeship
with men who have fought side by
side with them, and who know what
they know, have seen what they
have seen, and felt what they have
felt. And no matter how much they
and their wives love each other, they
cannot have a oneness again until
they build up new points Of contact
1t is a long job and q hard job
that the war wives have cut out for
them before they get their husband.
really back from the war. But 1t
can be done If they have the love
and the patience to do 1t.

Your Psychologist
Bv DR.. w. II. YOUNG

Psychology is the science of the
mind and emotions. 1t is known
that many physical symptoms of
illness are caused by mental or
emotional disturbances. Nervous
ness is almost always the product
OF conflicting emotions within the
subconscious mind. That many are
harboring worries, doubts and fears
unknowingly is without question.
We worry and fear subconsciously
without being aware Of this fact.
A feeling of anxiety and doubt is
usually the first indication of nerv-
Gus emotional troubles When this
continues over q period of time. the
nerves become weakened, and phys
ical symptoms appear Many di-
gestive disturbances, inability to
sleep, headaches, and weak, dizzy
spells are due to nervous tension.
If subconscious worries or fears
make you nervous, fearful and con-
fused. let psychology help you to =
healthy, normal life. Phone MA.

UPSIDE DOWN CAKE?

brown sugar, placing canned fruit
on this, but when I turn the cake
after baking, much of the sirup mix
ture sticks to the bottom of the pan.
I should also like to know what COM
binations of fruit make good con-
trast with the cake-pineapple, of
course, but I'd like to use something
of lower point value.
Having received helpful replies
to previous inquiries, I'm looking

No Smell Dipping This
Year in Creek or Lake

Beulah, Mar. 23-This spring for
the first time in % years there will
be no smelt dipping in either Cold
Creek or the outlet to Crystal Lake
where Michigans first smelt run
occurred. To keep the smelt in
the lake and prevent them from
escaping during the annual spawn
ing run. a screen is being placed at
the point between the outlet and
the lake. In response TO a re-
quest by local residents a permit
was issued for the installation for
one year only. Last year. for the
first time. dipping was prohibited
on Cold Greek.
After the smelt have gone over
the dam for spawning. they cant
get back into the lake. Local
anglers prefer taking the fish
through the ice thus spreading the
season over a longer period than
to take so many of the smelt at
one time during the short period
OF the run.
Crystal Lake. designated a pike
lake by the conservation depart
ment. is closed TO all fishing until
the spring season opens May 10.
