Dear Miss Dix: I do not agree
with what you say about the folly
OF Grandmas and 0randpas taking
on boy and girl wives and husbands.
I think that the seniority Of ore
party, even though it spans more
than a score of years, makes for
happiness because 1t enables the
elder one to master the situation
better through experience than if
they were of approximately the
same age. The reason Is that one
is cooler, more level-headed than
the other and can advance reasons
that will soon calm the junior men,
ber down, whereas If they are
equally mated, rarely will either
concede anything to the other.
I think that happiness In mar
riage depends on individual opinion
more than difference in age.
NEARLY GRANDPA.
Answer: You are quite right,
Grandpa, in thinking that happi-
ness in marriage depends upon con-
geniality more than it does upon
the number of birthdays that the
husband and wife have celebrated.
But the catch in your argument is
that the young and the old never

beauty, cites one cardinal rule for
all women. He says that fiattery
must always supersede fashion when
it comes to a hairdo; in other words.
that the first consideration in any
case is that the arrangement be
becoming to YOU. To achieve such
hattery you'll probably have to
modify a current fashion; you Just
can't copy it willy -nilly.
Equally important as the lines Of
your coiffure is the looks OF your
hair because any hairdo depends
Tor Its beauty on shining, clean
appearance. And a lustrous sheen
depends on assiduous attention.
However. taking care of your hair is
a thankful job where patience and
pains pay OF. You can ALWAYS be
sure that those who have brushed
and washed their hair with diligence
are the ones whose crowns are truly
glorious
The shampoo you use Is a factor,
too. Many soaps have a habit of
leaving luster -clouding film II
not thoroughly rinsed. There's a
new soapless cream shampoo that
eliminates that hazard to a glossy
name. Very simple to use, you
simply moisten your hair, work the
fluffy cream into scalp, and it bursts
into billows Of sweet-scented lather.
1t rinses out almost instantly, leav-
Ing your hair a shining mass OF
highlights. This one Is convenient
ly packed in jar, but II you're
travelling or in the service, you
might prefer the more travel-worthy
cream shampoo that comes in a
tube. Either is q glorifer that lit
orally turns on the lights in your
locks.
Now, something new has been
added to your grooming procedure
a hair fragrance. This Is for the
moment that finds you In the kitch-
en- and your long-absent love tele-
phones from the station that he
will be home in a jiffy. Instead of
worrying about whether your hair
has acquired the scent of q lamb
chop not a bad idea at that, these
days, you simply spray on this love-
ly hair fragrance and relax. You'll
know that when he walks In the
door your hair will smell sweet n 4

that day will be soon!

The DAY-TTIE BIG day we've all
been waiting for is hereA 1.-The day

Man to come home Is, What can I

Probably the No. l attractor-or

do want you to live up to dreams
which usually glamorize reality.
Thus, your plan should be to glorify
your usual hairdress.
In general, our concept of beauty
Is one built around an oval face,
SO your coiffure should be shaped
to create the illusion of ovalness.
That means II your face is too long
or too narrow at any point-you
should broaden or build out your
coiffure to compensate for the de-
flciency and so further the oval ef-
feet. On the other hand, If your
face Is too wide, or too square, soft
waves or curls can break up the
severe lines. And you should build
up a coifIure to heighten a moon

liked a letter written months ago by
a mother of three who told her sys-

one who said when the children

screaming - don't-just sing"
liked that. She had several good
ideas.
The only thing I disagreed with
was letting the dishes go till morn
ing. I like my system better. I hop
up and get them done and my hus-
band dries them and in a pinch he
even washes, too. I don't insist if
he's not in the mood, but he is often
enough. I'm so thankful that I do
have a husband who helps me so
much and I'd like to suggest to the
new brides that it's a good idea to
let them help from the very begin
ming. That's when they would do
anything in the world for you. And

were starting on a fine new fairy
tale. Your story might 60 something
like this:
"A long time ago Ito her, it is a
long timeD before either you OF
little sister were born, daddy and ]
were worried and unhappy. We
wanted some little children so very
much and we had none. Finally we
decided that we never could have
any OF our very own, so we decided
we would go and hunt for q little
baby who had no mother and daddy
to care for her and love her, and
bring her home to be our baby. So
we started out on our search. We
looked everywhere. We saw fat
babies and thin babies; happy
babies and crying babies; blue-eyed
babies and brown-eyed babies. We
saw babies of all sorts and descrip-
tions "a little exaggeration here may
be permittedD but we couldn't find
the one that seemed just right. We
nearly gave up hope, and then one
day, when we were very discouraged,
what do you suppose we found at
still another place we visited? We
found a baby with (here describe
your girl, looking at her with obvi-
Gus pleasure, and letting the good
news come to her by degrees). At
once we knew that our search was
over. We had found the very baby
we wanted. Right away we knew
that she was the baby for us and
believe she knew too, for she smiled
at us first thing! Guess who it was?
Yes, (don't keep her in suspense)
it was you! My daddy and I were
happy and proud. So we brought
you home, and adopted you, and we
all belong to each other, and now
we live happily ever afterward, don't
we?"
Since the younger child is not
adopted, I suggest that you tell
this only to the older child, and tell
her that she may tell the story to
little sister. Then let her do 1t in
her own time. The chances are she
will swell with pride in the telling.
Answer all her questions about it
truthfully and she will have no rea-
son to grow up with resentment
about it. I once knew a third-grade
child who told her class In school
very happily, about a visit her
mother had taken her on to see the
children's home from which she
had been adopted.
Good luck to you.
(From Mrs. F. F. c., Washington.)
I would like to answer Adopted
Child" published some time ago in
the RICH.
My advice to you is, tell the child
she was not yours by birth, but you
loved her and preferred her to any
other little girl. Adoption was the
only way you could have her for
your daughter. BY all means be the
first person to tell her.
I'm sure she will love you very
dearly for being honest with her.
As she grows older continue to talk
to her about it, and she will grow
more understanding. Prepare your
self for plenty of questions for she
will be very curious about herself.
My mother died when I was six
weeks old. I dearly love the family
who raised me. Good luck to you
and the child.

of the incompetence and neglect which could be noted throughout the facility The of one World War II veteran who died because of sheer neglect of his condition was cited Generally poor results from treat rnent were noted, among them the fact that the Veterans Administration hospitals discharged only 23 per cent of tuberculosis sufferers arrested cases,' whereas the tuberculosis hospitals of New York State have discharge rate on the same basis of 256 per cent In other words the patient in one of the tuberculosis hospitals of New York has about II times the chance of being discharged with his disease quiescent arrested the veteran with tuberculosis who relies upon the treatment of the Veterans Administration facilities.

TWO METHODS

More or less unanimously, the physicians of the nation have opposed schemes to sociaze the practice of medicine CT to subject their profession to bureau cratic control or influence They have argued that inevitably the quality of service to the public would suffer from bureaucratic political entanglement.
 good case for their argument is presented by the record of the Veterans Administration. Despite the lavish support of the government for several decades the Veterans Administration by and large offers very mediocre standard of to its patients and sometimes it's ministraons have been notoriousy had Every doctor associated with the Veterans Ad- ministraton over a period of years has not been incompetent by any manner of means, but we think any disnterested appraisal will yield the conclusion that the general level of physicians and surgeons attached to the Veterans hospitals does not compare favoraby with that of private and public hospitals drawing from the unsalaried doctors of their com munities.
 The quality of medical service in the Veterans Administration has been the subject of Congressional inquiry and as a result of the publicity and the change in direction of the administration Git now is expect marked improvement in the Veterans hos pitals setup. But point remains Over period of years under bureaucratic management the agency deteriorated to standard of quality far below that of the private practitioners.

Grim Harvest
Cincinnati Enauirer

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 A grim harvest of war will be reaped for many years to come in Europe and the oceans near the Continent Literally millions of mines of all types were sowed land and in the sea. Most have been removed or neutralized, but for long time in the future innocent people will be killed or maimed by these instruments of war
 The beaches of Europe of course were filled with mines by the Germans element of the defense of "Festung Europa Then, the great retreat began into the interior of the Reich, other mines were strewn in the pathway of the Allied armies by the hundreds of thousands. They were buried in fields hedges flower gardens, streets, pathways The forests were sprinkled with them.
 Obviously finding them all will be tremendous task. And dangerous one. Every day thls spring, on the average 10 Belgian people were blown to bits when they encountered the hidden menace of mines left by the Germans Volunteers attempting to seek out and remove the mines, but the farmer, for instance may not suspect the presence of mines in his fields until he puts the blow to the ground
 French army expert estimates that it will cost 30 000 lives ferret out all of the mines and un- exploded shells and bombs which lie in the soil and waters of Europe. According to him. more than 10O- 900 000 mines were planted in and around the Con- tinent In addition, there are as many as 800O00 tons of unexploded bombs and shells in the war-torn ground.
 The French think that German prisoners of war the men who sowed the mines originally-should be given the task of finding and removing them There are of course charts showing the precise location of the mines The of mine defense were mapped, but the smaller anti-personnel and anti-tank mines were scattered more less promiscuously
 They are fearfully dangerous contrivances. The Germans specialized a small anti-personnal mine with an intense though limited vertical blast They were commonly known castraton mines, because of the nature of the wounds inflicted upon Allied troops. The smaller mines during the latter months of the war were made of plastic other material which could not be detected by the conventional ine-detecting equipment. Then too, there are the booby traps One Cincinnatian, prisoner Of war for year. liberated by American troops. In a German grocery store he attempted to open a can of honey It was a "booby trap which exploded, soaring his face and eyes
