Dear Miss Dix: 1 am a boy of II

have begun to dislike my parents
because of the unjust way they treat
me until now I can't stand them
any longer. I have never been out
with a girl because they have for
bidden it, and because I can't af-
ford it, for, while I make good
money, they take it all away from
me except SIS a week on which l
have to buy my lunches and my
clothes and pay carfare.
In the Office in which I work
they are very strict about what we
wear and many time I go hungry
so I can get a pair of pants, or
shoes, or something. I have asked
my parents for more money, but
they reply that when they were
young they had to make a quarter
last them a week, and they don't
see why l can't get along with $5.
All want is a little fun and to go
out with girls like other boys of my
age do. What shall I do?
LONELY AND TIRED.
Answer often think that it is

Gated so much as the parents who

their children the way their parents
dealt with them. So many father!
and mothers fail to understand that
the whole world has changed since
they were boys and girls, that there
is new order, and that if they don't
adjust themselves to it they are not
only going to lose all influence witt
their children, but they are going
to lose the children themselves, who
will leave them as soon as they pos
sibly can.
This boy, for instance, and he
stands for thousands of others who
are in his position, is going rejoicing
into the Army to get away from hi:

should exist between fathers and
mothers and children and that is
the most precious thing in the
world.
1t is, of course, right that parents
should establish authority over their
children, but they should use it with
discretion and give their children
all permissible innocent liberty. Yet
hundreds of letters come to this
column from nearly grown boys and
girls telling that they are not al
lowed to have dates, or to have COM
pany at home, or to go to dances, or
have any of the diversions that the
other boys and girls of their age are
having.
1t is also right that parents should
teach their children thrift, but they
should not take all of the money
boy or girl earns and only dole
him or her out a small pittance.
Rather the child should be taught
how to handle his money. The
laborer is worthy of his hire, and
any boy or girl who has sense
enough to hold down a job and earn
money certainly has sense enough
to know how to use it.

Cocktail parties aren't the easiest
thing In the world to give in these
restricted days, but ingenuity and
plenty of perseverance will soon find
way. Whether the drinks are to

variety, there must be plenty OF
appetizing tidbits for the guests,
which have to be contrived out of
items that are on the still availa-
BILE" list.
A recent affair given by two young
men to celebrate their return to
civilian life was case in point. In
the long ago these two were cele-
brated for their afternoon gather
ings and their specialties de la maison
included such mountaineering con-
coctions as little meat turnovers,
fresh caviar in great bowls, chicken
livers broiled and wrapped in bacon
and similar luxurious morsels. But
now-what could the boys put forth
that would be really special and yet
within the bounds of wartime short
ages?
Well, they did a little canvassing
of several markets and emerged
with three or four tins of the little
vienna-type sausages, at the ex-
penditure of very few red points.
These they grilled in a seasoned
tomato ketchup sauce and popped
them between tiny hot dog" rolls
no longer than little finger,
ordered in advance from the baker.
The rolls had been toasted, split and
spread with mustard and margarine.
Then there was big bowl of
cottage cheese that had been
thinned and beaten with cream and
seasoned with Worcestershire sauce,
tiny bit of horseradish, chopped
chives, salt, pepper and paprika,
Around the bowl, which was set on
silver platter, were heaped po-
tato chips-and dunking was the
order of the day
Little pastry shells, no bigger than
than a 50-cent piece, held delectable

DOMESTIC HELPER.
From Mrs. M. c., Arlngton.)
Re your query as to a young girl
versus an older woman helper in
the house: A young girl by all
means, as an older woman lover 500
is usually lacking in patience with
children, doesn't take orders from a
younger woman easily and is usually
more adamant about doing things
her own way. Counting about $45
as average and fair for room and
board, you could require 80 hours
work a month from your helper
Gate of so cents an hour, which is
minimum), divided as you saw fit
any more would be an imposition.
With careful managing your food
bill could be kept to about S35
week, BUT one doesn't buy cauli-
flower and broccoli, one buys cab
bage, carrots and the cheapest veg
etableS, etc.
And this may be harsh, but you
are paying entirely too much for
rent on your salary. You should
pay not more than $75 month,
though it may mean living in a
neighborhood less desirable. And
SIS a week is entirely too much
for maid Service-one days clean
ing must suffice at around IS, un-
less you see an immediate salary
increase. With the above readjust-
ment. you could Immediately save
about $40 a month, which would
ease up your other budget allow

And now, one for me, please:

the termites do not live In the wood
They live in the ground and come
