incidentally, began with a QUOTA
ton from Whittier which read, in

A robbery motive was ruled out
when police found several dollars
and two valuable rings IN the
purse.
They expressed the opinion,
however, that il was possible she
answered a knock on the door,
thinking il was the pastor. and
permitted the entry of her slayer.
There were no signs of scuffle

A woman who has made q success
|of being = mother -law gives the
following advice about how to get
along without friction with a daugh-
ter-in-law. ITO begin with" she
says, never live with your sons
wife. Keep your own house, If you
have one. II you haven't, park your
self in a hotel or boarding house,
or settle down for the duration in
an old ladies' home. Just remember,
that no two women can try to run
the same house without getting in
each others hair.
BE the appeaser. Be the one to
hold out the olive branch and give
the glad hand of welcome to the
new arrival in the family circle. For
some unknown reason the mother in
law always feels that the daughter
in-law should make all the over
lures in friendlineSs and do every
thing possible to conciliate her hus-
bands mother. This Is wrong. The
mother should take the initiative
because she is older, has seen more
OF the world and should know more
about how to handle young girls
automatically.
Make a friend of your daugh-
ter-in-law. That is the only Way
you can keep your son. II his wife
doesn't like you, she will separate
MIN from you. There is nothing
that men dread so much as quar-
rels between their wives and moth
ers and If Johns wife always is
running to him with complaints
about you and If there is a scene
every time he wants to come to
see you, in time you will lose him.
Don't be jealous cat. Take
the back seat in your sons life
gracefully. Don't try to be the main

That Is his wife's prerogative.
Don't resent his loving his wife bet
ter than he does you. His marriage
will be a failure II he still stays tied
to mothers apron strings and you
don't want that to happen to him.
Never call your sons attention
to his wife's faults. He has got to
live with her, 50 build her up In his
eyes so that he will always think he
was a grand picker and got worlds
wonder, and will 60 to his grave
without finding out what a poor
manager she is that that she gads
too much.
Never offer your daughter I'm
law advice, or tell her how you do
things. You may have to bite your
tongue OF to keep from making
suggestions when you see her doing
the things blunderingly that you
know how to do so well, but great
will be your reward. For when she
finds out that you are not going to
try to boss her or interfere with
her In any way. she will drop her
attitude OF always being ready to
start q tight.
"As soon as your baby boy is born
begin preparing yourself for his
wedding. Don't think of him as be-
longing to you for life. He is Just
loaned to you for few years. Then
he will leave you. so build up in

Develop hobbies. Be ready to live
alone and like it when he is gone,
instead Of being one of the miser-
able old women who are lost them

said. Send something that can be
eaten or worn-in short, that can
be consumed or put in your rocket" I"
Furthermore the Air Corps echoes
these sentiments. One returning
aviator who had flown 7s missions
said, when a man travels to and
from the States by air he doesn't
want to receive presents which he'd
like to keep. We have to send our
things back to the States by boat
and often we don't get our belong
ings when we get home. The
things you receive overseas mean
much to you If they are the type
you can keep"
