Difficult Adjustment.
The adjustments between children
and step-parents is real problem
today, with wartime divorces almost
equaling marriages in number. In a
case that recently came to my at
tention the little daughter of the
first marriage, child of six. had
never slept away from her mother
before. When she found her place
taken by strange man, and her.

the child went into a psychological
state very hard to handle and even
tually had to be moved to the Gus
tody of strangers. 1t was of this
child that I once asked the stepfa-
Their: "Margot giving any trouble?"
Nothing that couldn't be whipped
out of her," he said briefly. He was
a clever man and known as a "good
fellow" but he couldn't love an
other mans child.
Hard and cruel as it may sound,
John must consider now the pos
sibility that another man will have
the raising of this son he so much
wants If he does that seriously,
and with prayer, think he will see
that it is fairer to all concerned to
leave Donna with as little respon-
sibility as possible, to leave her, in
short, in free and mobile condi-
ton, so that there will be no feeling
of regret if she is widowed. or if he
comes home injured. or if all goes
well and he returns to qualify for
his profession and to build that
baby-flled home of which they
dream. These times are indeed out
of joint. Extraordinary valor is de-
manded of every one of US if we
are to win our way through them to
something better.

Donna would like a child as
much as John, but she realizes
that she ,Oould have to hold her
job and care for her baby at the
same time-an almost impossible
burden. John is stationed on a de-

CONSERVING VITAMINS

Fresh raw vegetables are rich
in vitamins and minerals. Unfor-
tunately, however, some vitamins
are lost unless carefully cooked. We
need to protect them from contact
with air as much as possible. There
fore cover utensils, and don't stir
while cooking. Naturally a covered
utensil will continue to steam on a
much lower heat than an open one,
so foods are actually cooked in
steam when you follow the little
water, tight cover rule" That saves
both fuel and food value.

THE "sitting room" of two gen.
erations ago was cozy and
planned for use. Not the least of
its comforts were the late footstools
to be used with the most frequent
ed chairs. These were covered
with bright carpet or other heavy
material and, if you examined
them, you found that inside there
were cans filled with sand for
weight and then bound together
and padded

Japs Inform Sun Goddess
Of All Important Events

Japan's most sacred shrine is a
small wooden building at Ise, $50
air miles from Tokyo, which is
dedicated to Amaterasu, the Sun
goddess, who has been informed
of all important events in that
country for $500 years, says Col
liers. The emperor, for instance,
goes there to announce the birth
of a royal baby, and the pre-
mier to tell of declaration of
war.
Millions of ordinary pilgrims
also visit it annually, although
they are forbidden to pass
through even the first of the four
fences surrounding the temple,
which contains, incidentally,
nothing but Amaterasus mirror.

w band and me?" writes
Donna Barton, from Pasadena.
81 am %, John is 27; we have
been happily married for a year
and a half, during which time
my sailor husband has been
twice to the South seas and back.
Ours is an unusual devotion; we
have no families, we live for
each other.
1.-THE trouble is that John is most
anxious for a child, and I am I'M
willing to assume that responsibility
until after the war. When peace
comes he will still have another
year in medical school and the usual
intern years to face, and am earn
ing good money as teacher in
private school, and saving for his
education. We are young, and l be-
ieve we may reasonably look for
ward to long years ahead, when con-
ditions will be more normal, life
less of a strain and everything
easier on US all.
"This is the first difference that
has arisen between US. For awhile
I managed to treat it as a sort of
joke; then l dropped the subject
completely, but now he is continual
ly bringing it up. The probability
is that he will soon go away again,
for the dangerous duties of a de-
stroyer's existence, and he says he

well as wife was waiting for him
at home. Please tell mel have no
mother-if you agree with him. OF
course, would adore my baby. 1t
would break my heart not to have
children someday, but can't face it
now. John did not say he would
abide by your advice, but he ad-
mitted that it would influence him.
Mother" concludes this letter,
sometimes used to read your arti-
Giles aloud to US at the Sunday break
fast table when I wasn't more
than 10 years old, so please regard
me as sort of grandchild and
tell me if am making a mistake"
No, don't think you are making
mistake, Donna, think you are
acting wisely-that is, may I add
parenthetical'y, if you are using only
those precautions against mother
hood that are recognized as legiti-
mate, and | am sure you are.
'Normalizing' War.
What John is trying to do is what
SO many young men and women are
rebelliously trying to do in these
dark times; he is trying to normal
ize war. 1t cannot be done. War is
like high fever, sweeping over
the world, and persons or worlds
in high fever must have very care
full and special treatment; everyone
of US must make sacrifices and face
changes heroically, if we are to get
through this thing, and Johns and
your sacrifice must be made in wait
ing for the richness and glory of
parenthood.
You cannot manage your job and
your baby, which means finan-
cial stringency for all three of
you. The entire responsibility for the
baby would be yours, without hus-
band or mother or sister to advise
you and that is nervous strain to
which he has no right to expose you.
His visits home will be brief for the
next few years, and far apart, he
will hardly know his child. He may
not return, in which case your baby
will be exposed to two possibilities,
both unfair to babyhood. One is
that you will become one of those
doting mothers who are absorbed in
a child, spelling that child and liv-

MERRY M0NAHANS'
 IS MUSICAL FEATURE OPENING Al CAPITOL

A musical extravaganza With a heart tugging story is promised as the rext offering at the Capitol on Sunday when Universals The Merry Monahans,' starring Donald OCon- nor, Peggy Ryan, Jack Oakie and Ann Blyth makes its local bow.
 In spite of the impressive fact that "The Merry Monahans" boasts twen- ty songs. both old and new, report has it that they are incidental to the very human story of the Monahans, a plucky vaudeville family who laughed, sang and danced its way to the top of. the show world heap.
 The story tells of Oakie's love for his vaudeville partner, Rosemary De Camp, whom he is all set to marry when an interruptions chorus girl, Isael Jewell, snaps him up and somehow becomes his wife, instead. They have two children. But Isabel, when they are still very young, walks out on them and Oakie, leaving him to bring them up as best he can.
 The chi,dren-Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan-together with Oak ie, become The Merry Monahans," a song -and-dance trio determined to break into the big time. What hap pens when they meet Rosemary De Camp and her lovely, young daugh- ter, Ann Blyth, is said to raise "The Merry Monahans" head and should CTS above the average movie story.
 The five songs written especially for the picture by Don George and Irving Bibo are Lovely" Beautiful to Look At" We're Havin' Won- derful Time" Stop Foolin'," and Representations.
