ONE women know what
they want. Others only
- know what they don't want.
The difference is that between
happiness and unhappiness,
failure and success. The mega
tive attitude destroys. The pos
tive attitude always constructs.
The woman who only knows
what she doesn't want talks to
you somewhat like this:
eyes, my dear, we unlucky Bak-
ers are still in the same dreadful
apartment-I dislike that school in
Z tensely, but I'm keeping the chill
dren there, and there's no use NOV
ing. Harry's worried about bills
and he says we've got to economic
if we expect to find better place,
but you simply can't these days. No,
he's still with Miller and Miller:
dreadful-they pay the lowest sal
aries in town, but there's no help
for it. It's bills-we seem haunted
by bills. hate them as much as
anyone, but what can you do?"
This woman hates everything in
her life; her house, her clothes, her
meals, dishwashing and ironing and
bedmaking -and she does nothing
about it. Presently she begins to
blame her husband for the whole
thing; she convinces herself that
she never really loved him, and hon.
estly feels that any 6hange would
be for the better. She simply
can't stand things the way they are
any longer. So another home goes
on the rocks simply because the
mother and wife takes the negative
instead of the positive attitude.
Cure Is in Your Heart.
If you happen to be one of the
women who doesn't want anything
she has, but at the same time hasn't
formed any definite picture of what
she does want, the cure for you lies
entirely in your own heart and
mind. This is one of the miracles
of life, and it is pity not to take
advantage of it.
In other words, stop. thinking Of
what you don't want, and begin to
think of what you do. 1t sounds SIM
pie, but it takes some courage, some
imagination, some consistency to
begin.
Once you get started, everything
is smooth sailing. Your husband
becomes not an obstruction and
an enemy, but a partner. The
things you dislike in your life be-
come only so many upgrades to be
passed on the road. When you
get to the top of the slope. you get
a finer view.
"We have pulled ourselves up by
our own bootstraps," says mans
letter, which reached me this week.
Everything was going wrong with
Tess and me, when she wrote you.
Your so-much-older-advice sounded
rather romantic and impracticable,
at first, but we IL ID it. You said first

in the eye; this was hard. / vast

supervision of her expenditures. But
we faced it, decided where we could

aged and 9, into our councils. My
salary was $500 a month, with no
rent to pay. Our bills totaled So, 400.
1t scared US, and we decided that
Tess should take part-time work un-

Navy, 0fterbein Defeats Eliminate Last Of Un-
 beaten Quints

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-With one or two exceptions, the nations ma- jor conference races still are un- settled today, as the college basket ball season enters the stretch of the hectic campaign.
 And, the 1945 basketball season won't produce any unbeaten col- lega team. Navy, the last of the unbeaten major lives, bowed to North Carolina, 51 to 49. And Otterbein, the last of the smaller schools in the select class, was beat en by Muskingum, 52 to A.
 Only in the southern division of the Pacific Coast loop, where Cali fornia needs only a victory over weak Stanford to annex the crowd, and in the Eastern Intercollegiate league, where Dartmouth has only to win from Columbia Saturday to gain the title, are the champion ship races virtually over
 Here's how the various other ma jor conferences races shape up:
 Southern-Duke 11-D, North Carolina 10-D and Virginia Tech (5-D, are punched at the top.
 Southeast--Kentucky and Louis- jana State are tied for first with so records.
 Southwest-Baylo squeezed by Texas 43-42 to take over first place at 8-1.
 Big Ten-Iowa, striving for it's second straight title, leads with 7-l. but is hard pressed by Ohio State at 7-2.
 Big Six-First place Kansas (6-0) and runner-up Oklahoma (4-D were idle last week.
 Big Seven Utah's one-sided victory over Brigham Young plac- ed the two teams into a four way tie with Wyoming and Colorado for first place, each team having 5-2 record.

Sponsors Promise 10
Press for Hearinq

Proponents of a memorial audi
torium here to honor those who
served in the two World Wars
had a promise today from Con-
greSsional sponsors to press for joint
Senate-House hearings to expedite
realization of the project.
Speaking at rally in the National
Press Club auditorium last night,
Senator Pepper of Florida and
Representative Randolph of West
Virginia, both Democrats, who intro
duced PARALLEL joint resolutions,
pledged their effotts to obtain early
consideration of the matter.
Senator Brewster, Republican of
Maine, was introduced as Senator
Peppers new co-sponsor in the
Senate and commented that he had
"shrunk inwardly" when he saw
opera attempted" in Constitution
Hall recently because of what he
felt foreign diplomats must have
thought of the inadequate stage
facilities in the Nations Capital.
Asked from the floor where the
District Commissioners stand on the
project, Mr.. Randolph said he was
not certain but felt they did not
understand completely that the
memorial auditorium and stadium,
which they have sponsored, are not
conflicting.
Giovanni Martinelli, opera star,
and Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn,
U. S. NJ, retired, Endorsed the pro-
ject.
Messages OF Endorsement from
Chief of Naval Operations Chester
c. Nimitz and Philippines High
Commissioner Paul V. McNutt were

The legislation introduced by
Senator Pepper and Representative

consisting of an auditorium and
smaller rooms to be made available,
under regulations Of a three-man
commission, for presentation of con-
certs, meetings, opera, ballet, drama
and other programs of public in
