think he could make a girl want to
marry him by making her spend
dull and stupid evenings trying to
pry little conversation out of him,
and be only rewarded by an occa-
sional grunt. Yet only too many
men pass into the silence when they
cross their thresholds, and make
their wives wonder why they didn't
find out that their Toms, Dicks and
Harrys were such bores before
marrying them. Believe me, son, it
is just as much a mans duty to feed
his wife on talk as it is to feed her
on pork chops.
Another fallacy of men is that
while too much home and babies get
on their nerves, they think that
women can never get enough of
them, and desire no more exciting
amusement than changing the baby
and listening to the children quarrel
and doing a hard days washing.
Nothing is more common than to
hear men say to their wives: II
wish I could stay at home with the
children and take it easy as you
do" But they never do.
So, son, if you want to be q good
husband, put yourself, literally and
flguratively, in your wife's place.
Face the fact that the woman who
has little children and no servants
is just as much a prisoner as if she
were locked in a cell and condemned
to hard labor, instead of her being a
wife and mother in her own home
Think how you would like it if you
couldn't go outside of your own door
without dragging the baby along.
Thing how bored you would be if
you had to spend your days listen
ing to baby babble. Think how you
would pine for the bright lights if
you never got to dress yourself up
and go where you would see and be
seen. And let the result of your
cogitations make you a good hus-
band who will take his wife stepping
when he can, or be a baby sitter
who recognizes that he is just as
much pa as she is ma, and who
helps with the dishes.
And, above all, keep up your love-
making. That is the final test of a
good husband,

Except when one has beautiful

Dorothy Dix Says

The problem of how to be a good
husband is one that does not bother
men because every husband thinks
he is Gods gift to the woman he
married. Doesn't he support his
wife? Hasn't she got a charge &C
count at the best stores? Does he
ever object to her people crowding
in on them? Isn't he so house:
broken that he wonders at himself?
For heavens sake, if that isn't
being good husband, what makes
one? Well, here's telling him:
Listen we'll, son, and keep the as
pirin battle handy, for am going
to step on your toes and 1t will hurt.
know that practically every man
feels in his secret soul, that by
marrying a girl he has conferred
such an inestimabie favor upon her
that she can never be sufficiently
grateful to him for having saved her
from being an old maid, and that
he doesn't need to do anything more
to make her happy. -...
That isHa conviction that your
father had. and your grandfather
and your great-grandfather and all
of your grandpaps back to Adam.
Maybe it was a good technique once
but it doesn't work now; so scrap
that idea along with a lot of other
outnoded theories that went into
the junk pile when the first girl got
her first job and found out she
didn't have to marry for living.
Realize that when a modern girl
walks out of an Office into a mans
kitchen, she isn't saying. Thank
you, kind sir" for the privilege of
working for her board and clothes
instead of salary. She knows she
is making sacrifice of many COM
forts and luXuries that she could
get for herself, and she expects her
new boss to appreciate this and, at
least, give her square deal. No
man is good husband who makes
his wife panhandle him for every
cent she gets, and tell him what
she paid for her new hat. He is a
slave driver.

husband is to be good companion

Old?
By Josephine Lo,vman

We must cast glance at the past
In order to discover the ancestor
of the modern manicure and the
pride in the long finger nail. Egyp-
tian ladies used primitive kind of
paint on their nails and also
whitened their hands with chalk.
Cleopatra dyed her nails henna.
During the regime Of the Chinese
Empire, fashionable nails were worn
very long and were encased in
gold. This showed that the owners
belonged to the aristocracy and
did not have to work with their
hands. Today even those ladies who
do great deal of work with their
hands manage to keep them lovely
and soft; with beautifully mani
cured flngernails.
The condition of your nails not
only indicates the fastidiousness of
your grooming but shows us much
about your general condition. CAL
cium and vitamin D deficiency can
cause your nails to split. Nervous
ness is often connected with white
spots and blue nails make us sus-
pect poor circulation.
Even though you have manicures
done at your beauty salon there
are times when you must give your
self one, or repair the job. One
widely known cosmetic house has
outlined a simple home manicure
and I thought you might be in
terested in it.
l. Remove old lacquer thoroughly
with polish remover. Press the
cotton, soaked in the remover, on
the nail long enough to loosen the
polish before you begin wiping it
off.
2. File and shape the nails, using
the coarse side of an emery board.
The file should never touch the
skin about the nail. Use the fine
side Of the emery board to level
the nail edge.
3. Remove extra cuticle with a
cotton tipped orange stick which
has been dipped in remover. Work
the stick about the edge of the nail
very gently. Use this stick to re-
move remaining bits of dirt under
the nail tip. Never cut your cuti-
Gle. You will not have hang nails
if you will push the cuticle back
and wipe away surplus skin every
time you take your hands out of
water.
4. Apply cuticle oil.
5. Scrub your hands in soapy
warm water. Dry thoroughly and
then go over the nails again with
polish remover.
6. Apply polish base coat and
let it dry well.
Z. Apply your favorite shade of
lacquer. You should apply the pol
ish with sure quick strokes. Apply
the first coat to the fingers of both
hands thus giving time for the first
coat of lacquer to dry before apply
ing the second. Use an orange stick
to remove any lacquer which has
run into the crevices at the side of
the nail and always remove a hair
line tip on each nail.
8. Last, apply the finishing, trans
parent liquid layer to help check
chipping. In this way you seal the
lacquer on.
One expert has told me that one
OF the reasons for chipping is the
remaining bit of oil on the nails
before the polish is applied. I
imagine that this last protective
colorless coat is also a great help.
The trick of removing a hairline tip
on each nail will help avoid chip
ping.

addressed envelope with your re-

COMMENTS.
From Mrs. B. H. B., Washington.
I hope I am not too late with my
experience in regard to Mother
Day. Last year my son was over
seas. About a week before Mothers
Day. I received letter from him,
stating that he had wired me some
flowers for Mothers Day; to be on
the lookout for them. I watched
and waited, still no flowers. I felt
badly about it, thinking OF the
money he had spent for them, feel
ing it was lost. But on the Sat-
urday before Fathers Day, one of
our leading florists trucks stopped
out front. The driver brought In
a large box When opened 1t,
there, with lot of maiden hair fern
were two dozen of the most beauti-
ful red roses have ever seen! They
were really lovely and I kept them
as long as I could with the tablets
the florist sent with the roses.
There was also a pretty Mothers
Day card in the box, so dear reader,
I think perhaps your sons order
went astray somehow! But know
just how you felt about it. Our

Homer testified that after taxes and
renegotiation, the amount actually
realized as profit by Bethlehem on
the Fairfield shipbuilding work was
$12, ,449, 1868.
Mr.. Homer said this was 13 per
cent of the delivered cost of the ves-

Representative Weichel, Republi-
can, of Ohio contended, however
that the company's profit should be
figured on the $1,000,000 of capital
investment, and that. therefore, the
$12,449, 1868 was equivalent to l,2O(
per cent. Mr.. Homer reminded him
that, while the shipbuilding subsidi-
ary was set up with $1,000,0O0 OF
capital, it had behind it all of the
resources, years of experience and
trained personnel of the parent COM
pany, Bethlehem Steel, all of which
were factors in its ability to turn out

Poisoned Chicken
Leads to 5 Deaths
In Italian Family
BY the Associated Press

MILAN, Italy, Sept. 27. - Five
members of family have died and
a sixth is near death after eating a
poisoned chicken, an Allesandria
Piedmont, dispatch to the Corriere
d'Informazione said today.
The dispatch said Alfredo de
Giorgis, a student of medicine in
Milan University, had injected
poison into hens and then gave
antidotes to experiment with the
fowls resistance. One of the hens
which died was thrown into a field
and was found there by the
students father, who brought it
home to be cooked.
When the entire family was seized
with pains, the account said, De
Giorgis realized the hen had been
the poisoned one. He rushed for an
antidote but in his haste brought
back a bottle of poison from which
all the family drank. Shortly after
ward he managed to tell hospital
doctors, his mother, father, 3-year-
old son, sister -in-law and nephew
were dead.

Chandeliers

Two 156-year-old crystal chan
deliers from an anonymous donor
have been placed in the main cor
ridor of the White House as a part
Of the summer renovation program
The chandeliers, insured for
$4,000, were the only significant
addition to the White House, Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross said, but
he added that a new elevator is
to be installed as a part of the
refurbishing process.
The chandeliers we're described
in a White House statement as IAN
anonymous gift to the Nation" J."
They were purchased last June from
a New York dealer.
They are described as the finest
products of English and Irish glass
designers and cutters of the late
18th century. They were bought
in London in 1870, according to the
original bill of sale, and sent to
Lisbon, Portugal, for the Count of
Porto Covo The British bought
the house in 1910 for use as an
Embassy, and the chandeliers were
sold at that time.
