Dorothy Dix
Says

What is a good mother3 The
average woman's ideal of a good
mother is human doormat, and
the more she lets her children
trample on her and kick her
around, the better mother she
considers herself. 1t is a COM
mon thing to hear a woman boast
that when her first baby was
born she gave up her clubs and
her friends and her accomplish
ments, and that she never
touches the piano, or paints any
now, or keeps up with the new
books, or goes anywhere. She
just stays at home and devotes
herself to her children.
These women, who belong to
the class that Bernard Shaw
describes as being so much
mother they are scarcely human,
think that they are a noble and
inspiring example of mother love
when they sacrifice themselves
on the altar of their children,
and they are scathingly critical
of the women who just take
motherhood in their stride and
who keep in the running them
selves while they are running
the nursery.
AS a matter of fact, the wom-
en- who are all mother are the
worst possible mothers because
by the time their youngsters are
out of the cradle they have lost
their influence over them. Chill
dren are brutal little realists and
it doesn't take them long to size
mother up for what she is, and
if she has made a slave of her
self for them, they treat her as
one. They take all Of her labor
and seif-denial as no more than
their due, and they defy her
opinions because they have no
respect for one who doesn't stand
up for herself.
Many women consider them
selves good mothers because they
spoil their children to death.
They cannot bear to discipline
the little darlings and make them
behave. They work their fingers
to the bones so their children may
be idle. They wear patched
shoes so that Sally may have 40
pairs of fancy slippers and
Johnny enough money to run
with his gang. And the result
is that they rear a lot of young
hoodlums who bring them moth
ing but sorrow and shame.
You never hear of a girl going
astray or boy being drunkard
or thief that poor, weeping
woman doesn't sob out a story
about what a good mother she
has been, and how she always
sacrificed everything for her
children.
A good mother is one who is
good for her children as well
as good to them. She tries to
prepare them for life by teach
ing them the things that will fit
them to deal with a world that
isn't going to be soft-padded with
mother love. From the time they
can understand anything at all
she breeds into them courage and
the ability to take bumps and
come up smiling. She teaches
them control, a sense of re-
sponsibility, and how to get along
with people.
She teaches them how to work,
how to make money and how to
save it and spend it judiciously.
She teaches them how to give
and take, and she drills into
them good manners and good
morals. And because she loved
her children, not only well but
wisely, they grow up into the
men and women who are worth
while.
To be a good mother a woman
has to have strength of character
and courage and stiff back
bone as we'll as a mother heart,
for she needs them all in her
job.

AUT OF the corner of her eye, Margie
HI watched Jim-moody, restless, as
HE unhappy as she. Well, she would
" try once more to find out what was
wrong. Desperately, she forced herself
to say casually, ''How about going
dancing, Darling?" then braced
herself for his brusk reply :. "Not
tonight!''
No dancing tonight, or any night
lately What had happened to change
her adoring, fun-loving husband into
this cold, Indifferent stranger?
DocToRs KNOW that too many women
still do not have up-to-date informal
ton about certain physical facts. And
too many who think they know have
only half-knowledge. So, they still
rely on Ineffective or dangerous prepa.
rations.
You have right to know about the
important medical advances made dur.
ing recent years in connection with this
intimate problem. They affect every
woman's health and happiness.
And so, with the cooperation of doc.
tors who specialize in women's medical
problems, the makers of Zonite have
just published an authoritative new
book, which clearly explains the facts.

You SHOULD, however, be warned here
about two definite threats to happi-
ness. First, the danger of infection pres
ent every day in euery Wonan' s life. Sec
ond, the most serious deodorization prob
lem any ,Oon,an has one which you
may not suspect. And what to use is so
important. That's why you ought to
know about Zonite antiseptic.
USED IN THE DoucHE (as well as for a
simple everyday routine of external
protection), Zonite is both antiseptic
and deodorant. Zonite deodorizes, not
by just masking, but by actually de-
stroying odors. Leaves no lasting odor
of its own.
Zonite also kills Immediately all
germs and bacteria on contact. Yet
contains no poisons or acids. No other
type of liquid antiseptic-germicide is
more powerful, yet so safe. Your drug
gist has Zonite.

mittees headed by Reps. E. E. Cox
of Camilla, Ga, and Clarence F..
Lea of Santa Rosa, Calf, you come
up with the conclusion that the
principal issue of this mess is FEC
Chairman James Lawrence FLY
himself, one of the most amazing
and controversial characters in
Washington. He is six feet tall,
big but net fat, with a wide grin
and spectacleS and thinning red
dish hair. His looks give no hint
of his real abilities.
Radio industry members who
have done business before the FEC
rate Fly an ADLER citizen than most
other members and they give him
credit for being SO times as ener-
getic as them all a smart fella
heading government regulating
agency that really regulates, wheth-
er you like its regulations or not.
Next to his energy. the attribute
which keeps Chairman Fly at the
top of the heap is said to be the
fact that he thinks like ROos eve,t.
He has been given credit fer run
ming his agency closer TO the way
the boss wants it run than any
man in Washington. If this be
praise, it can also be condemnation.
Ever since FEC was created it has
been suspect and that has been
particularly true in the five years
that Fly has been chairman.
Through al his turmoil Fly has
emerged the winner-up to new.
He has been able to get White
House backing to stop Army. Navy
and FBI officials from testifying
on the grounds that to dc so would
give military information 10 the
enemy.
