duction workers and the others were working foremen, without placing them in what Reynolds calls 'the anomalous position of having to serve conflicting loyal ties." Of course this is all non- sense; and it is especially nonsensi- cal when it comes from someone who pretends to have industrial re Iations experience. Following Rev. nolds' theory would result in indus trial chaos, besides serving to atom ize the unions into uselessness.
 The argument presented by Key holds is effectively answered by the Board majority in its statement that q. t. we doubt whether this Board has the power to tell such employees that, under the Act as written, it would be proper for them to be represented by another labor organization but not

Reynolds objects to permitting what he calls "moni- torial" employees to be represented by the same union as that representing the rank and file workers. When car ried to its logical conclusion, this theory would result in forcing in- spectors, stockroom employees, and many other categories of employees to form separate unions; of course, jour neymen and apprentices in the same crafts would also have to be sepa- rated.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: A short time ago
1 had an affair with my secretary
who is a married woman with a
family. My wife had always had
the utmost confidence in me and
was devoted to me and our two
teen-age boys; but since she found
out about my being unfaithful to
her, although she still loves me and
has kept her knowledge of this to
herself, she has lost all faith and
trust in me.
I have promised to give this other
woman up and she has left my en-
ploy, but what complicates the situ-
alton is that her husband is friend
of mine and I was in the habit
of spending week ends at their
country home, he, of course, hav-
ing no idea about his wife and I.
My wife claims I am not being fair
in continuing these week ends, or
having anything to do with either
of them; but I value their friend
ship. How can I convince my wife
that my only motive, where either
of them is concerned, is pure friend
ship? Also, can you tell me how 1
can rebuild my wife's faith and
trust in me? BEWILDERED.

Bp Aneelo Pafri

Tatty is a model child in school.
The teacher often wishes she would
be little less holy. She never takes
her eyes off the teacher, her task, her
duty. The moment her work is
done, her hands go behind her old
style school fashion although the
teacher tells her that is not neces-
sary. She never whispers, never
laughs in school, never does any
thing that a school angel would
not do.
At home she is terrible. Her
mother says so. The minute she
enters the house she is causing
trouble. Her entry is a signal for
the baby to cry although he has
been as good as gold all morning.
She throws her things about and
demands service on the instant.
Last week Tatty reached the
limits of her mothers patience
and she slapped her. The baby
was sitting on the rug nipping
clothespins around a pan. He was
engrossed in his occupation and
did not see Tatty until she kicked
his pan into the air and sent him
head over heel after his pins which
scattered far and wide. Mother
smacked her.
At that Tatty went into a tan
trum and stamped, ragged and
hoWled so that her mother was
frightened and called on grandma
for help. Grandma was equal to
the emergency. She pushed the
screaming Tatty ahead of her into
the bathroom, and there splashed
her with cold water until she sub
sided. Then Granny put her to
bed and told her grimly, Stay there
until you cool off,"
When the household was restored
to quiet mother and granny talked
it over. What could be the matter
with the child? The teacher said
she was too perfect and here at

Foxy and Freddy
By Fredric and Alice For Pitts

(Euery question has two sides,
especially in marriage. This
time it's that old teaser-SNOR-
ING)
SHE SAYS: When I go to a hotel
alone, it's just wonderful to go to
sleep with that twin bed beside me
empty, in the luxurious certainty
that Freddy isn't going to wake me
up with, "Roll over, will you? You're
snoring again"
All snoring is annoying, and I've
been assured that mine achieves
some really extraordinary effects. 1t
must be specially aggravating to
Freddy, as he is the type who can't
even sleep through a mouse rattling
around in the scrap basket. But it is
equally disturbing to me to be aWak-
enefonly to be told I'm sleeping on
my back again.
I nearly ordered a device adver-
tised in the newspapers-a brace
that clambs the wrist to the bedpost
while the sleeper is on his Cor herr
side, thus preventing him rolling
over onto the back, apparently the
favored snoring position. Freddy said
no. 1t looked too much like gopher
trap and he'd lie awake worrying
for fear I'd strangle.
In fact, I've offered to go up to
that sleep shop in New York ano
try out all their anti-snoring de-
vices. Among them there must be

and hunt with the hounds, and it is
equally impossible for middle-aged
married man to carry on a liaison
with his friends wife and still be
a true and loyal friend to the hus-
band, and spend innocent week ends
enjoying his hospitality.
Nor need a married man, who
has affairs with his good-looking
women employees, be surprised that
his wife has lost her faith and trust
in him and that she disapproves
OF his continuing to spend his week
ends with his ex-lady love who may
or may not, be ex. Not being a
moron. your wife probably has little
faith in a wolf turning into Mary S
little lamb.
1t is a common thing for philan-
dering husbands, when they get
caught. to demand to know how
they can win back the faith anu
trust that their wives once had in
them, and that they have lost.
The answer is that it can't be done.
A woman may love her husband
well enough to overlook his be-
trayal and continue to live with
him. She may even continue to love
him, but she never believes in him
>gain. She is always expecting him
to be unfaithful to her.

one that would work on me. Freddy
doesn't like the idea, and will have
none of it.
If I'm willing to try anything, and
he won't let me, it seems to me he's
being more than a bit unreasonable,
and that I am entitled to keep on
snoring unmolested.
Now for heavens sake, Freddy,
don't say the subject Is too delicate
for discussion. There's nothing per-
sonal about snoring Every one does
it, and I mean you, too, even though
you have got the children trained to
tell week end guests on Sunday
morning, why that must have been
mother who disturbed you"
HE REPLIES: I know a tremen-
dously successful businessman in
Cleveland who has a soundproof Of
flee, complete with ankle-deep rugs,
Supersilent typewriters and all the
modern noise-prevention devices.
But at night have just found out
he snores horribly and unashamed.
know, too, a lady in Washington
not the least of whose charms lies
in her quiet stateliness and softly
modulated voice. Yet in a moment
of confidence, her husband told me
that she makes the night hideous
with her snores.
II business tycoons and glamour
babes alike offend, who Is immune?
Who knows but that Cleopatra's
snoring sent Mark Antony back to
Rome? Who knows who kept whom
awake at Teheran? May not the
neighbor who greets me each morn
ing with a gay 'cheerio" and slap
on the back be inwardly writhing
from a sleepless night? Poor, darling
Foxy: maybe have been too harsh
with her.
Our scientific geniuses might we'll
turn their research toward snore-
less nights. Perhaps the answer
lies in the Juice of some Asiatic
herb, or in serum derived from
long line of deep-snoring horses, or
maybe pandas.
Because of the scientists hardness,
however, have devised my own pro-
lection from a loving, but snoring
wife. When the noise becomes un-
bearable, sit up in bed suddenly,
and with alarm in my voice shout:
rs that one of the children?" Foxy
leaps from bed, rushes to the nurs-
cry, tucks in the little ones and takes
them each a glass of water. BY
this time she is fully awake and
usually will decide to go to the
kitchen for sandwich and glass
of milk. If things break we'll, she
then picks up magazine. BY the
time she comes back to bed, I'm too
deep in sleep to be asked, What
made you think you heard the chill
dren anyway"

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

This week is dedicated to those
charming young girls who have just
left childhood but who have not
yet arrived at the full maturity OF
womanhood. The fact that they are
no longer children and yet are not
women makes it a difficult period
in many ways. 1t is time full of
excitement and dreams and vague
longings and struggling self-expres-
sion.
These young people are growing
very rapidly, both mentally and
physically. They naturally wish to
| try their own wings and yet, for
their own safety, must be subject to
parental restrictions and guidance.
Many of them do not yet know what
they want from life and their values
may be somewhat mixed. This
strain of rapid physical growth plus
the restlessness and moodiress
which mental and spiritual develop
ment sometimes brings, makes this
a time of turmoil as we'll as happi-
ness.
At this time of life the young
girl has all kinds of problems. She
is either self-conscious about her
new curves or she is worried for fear
she will not have any. Compilations
seem to have way of kicking up
trouble at this age and posture often
becomes poorer than it was as a
child. Young girls at this time be-
come conscious of the opposite sex
and long to be popular but often do
not know how to go about it. 1t is
time of readjustment and bewilder-
ment as well as gayety and zestful
spirit!
Adolescence Is a very important
time in a girls life because the
habits and tastes she forms in men,
tai outlook and personality, posture
and hygiene, will have a potent ef-
feet on the woman she becomes in
the future. Whether she will be a
charming individual or just one of
the herd whether she will be lovely
to look at and lovely to be with, or
unloved: whether she will take fine
health into adult life or handicap
herself with lowered physical
energy; all this depends, to great
extent, on how she lives and thinks
during the formative years because
her spirit and body are still pliable
and susceptible to molding.
1t is easier to correct round shoul-
derS now than it will be later on.
Correct posture now is good insur-
ance against a double chin and
dowager's hump later on. Unless
fine physique is developed at this
age it is unlikely that it ever will be
a fact. Direction in attitude toward
life will avoid mistakes in the future
for imaginations are the expeditures
of its energy and eager interest.
This week "Why Grow Old?" will
talk about some of the problems
which thousands of you write to ask
about and I hope sincerely that the
next few days will be helpful to all
of you charming young things.
In the meantime, if you wish to
have my leaf1et No. So Popularity

addressed envelope with this request

home life was impossible because
of her RACES.
Maybe, mother, she is too perfect
in school. Maybe she is too tired
when she gets home to be decent"
Maybe. But she is jealous OF
the baby You'll notice that it is
on his head she vents her meanness
always. We'd better see the teacher
and get her opinion. The child is
as healthy as a trout. She's just
mean"
The teacher heard the story and
nodded. 81 can imagine it. She
is tense as can be all day. I would
say that she ought to go to bed the
minute she gets home from school
and relax"
So Tatty was told that half hour
in bed after every school session
was on her program, and the reason
for it was explained to her. She
cried but her mother, the memory
of that tantrum still strong, held
to her decision. After three weeks
there seemed to be an improvement
and after six months Tatty was
quite easy in school and much more
agreeable at home
