Head of a preparatory school for boys was for many years engaged in physical education before he be- came head of the school, and he says he found in that time that orthepedic surgeons (you know, physicians who limit practice to chronic joint and spinal diseases, correction of ueformaties, manage ment of injuries that may leave the victim more or less crippled) con- demn football for boys of high school age.
 The head masters sound policy may be the policy or opinion of 8 good many educators with experi- ence, but many of them are too timid to take the stand against this subversion of physical educa- ton in the public schools. It is per- tinent to mention here the the prep school head I quote is a private school man. Perhaps he would keep mum if he were a public school man and wanted to continue one.
 Just what is my gripe against football, numerous corresponds 8 few of them not anonymous, ask.
 I have no gripe against football. It is fine game for grown men.
 What I decry is the substitution of that hysterical performance for the physical training which chil- dren in school so sorely need.
 My objections to highschool foot ball are specifically these:
 CD The adolescent boy even though he has grown much faster and apparently bigger and stronger than the average .or normal, is not up to the strains of football nither in bone, sinew nor heart. If he is encouraged or permitted to attempt to make the team" 1t may be at a cost of permanently dam age or lifelong inefficiency. to say nothing of the risk of life itself.
 CD Highschool football, especial ly what the prep school head calls major football Spectacular games between schools representing rival communities), takes the school children (spectators) away from classes in which they should be getting at least a pretense of phy- sical training and subjects them to 100 per cent harmful influence ot vicarious excitement or stimulation I'm sorry there isn't room here to describe in elementary terms the physiology of pathology of this the way such stimulation mobili-

DEAR MARY HAwORTH: My wife and are in our flfties and both em- ployed, She started working as a war activity and continues partly because she enjoys her work, partly because she has few social contact here and doesn't care about making many; and partly because she wants to help me amass savings for de- clining years,
 Before the war my opportunities for saving were limited, partly due to moderate income and also be- cause we were putting our son through college and then getting him married. Now he has @ job in this city and some months ago he brought his wife and baby here to live. Therein lies our problem.
 His wife is the only child ofspros- porous foreign-born parents, who gave her good education and also, 1t seems, led her to believe others were put here to do things for her, particularly members of the family. Since she has been here, we are expected to edo this, that and the other thing for them-as a matter of duty. And in her opinion, noth- ing we do holds a candle to what her parents do for them.
 found an apartment for them before she arrived; and from the day she moved in she began to look for another, quipping about its shortcomings and also limiting broadley for the use of our car which takes us to work and back and carries ether passengers be- sides. Finally she found another apartment, and meanwhile we had been driving them about the city and suburbs every weekend in search of possibilities.
 Naturally I helped with the nov the day, taking the bus to work and back. We have them to dinner almost every week, they leave the baby with us while they go out; and we enjoy having them and think lots of the baby. But there is hardly a time when Mary (his wife) isn't asking or limiting for something; or extolling some service her par ents has done them-aS if we were competing in a race to gain favor through gifts.
 Wants Car to Visit Doctor
 think this is literally true, as every now and then Tom tells us how he has been defending" us to Mary, because we failed to do something for them which she counted an obligation on our part. The latest is that we are expected to lend her the car once a month SO she can take the baby to the doctor for a routine checkup. She says the doctor has forbidden her to take the baby on the bus, and taxis aren't available where she lives.
 Naturally we don't want to work hardship on the baby, nor would we shirk any bonaflde obligation to our own flesh and blood. But l am morally certain this bid for the car is only an opening wedge and if we yield, shortly she would want it regularly, more often, on other, pretexts. Our car is the only prop erty of value we have here, the

 Girl Defeats Her Own Ends
 DEAR F. D.: Spoiled by her pros porous parents. Mary is browbeating her husband on the theory that she condescended greatly in start ing marriage on 8 shoestring with him. And by her quips and hints and whining complaints, she has sold him that idea, too; so that now he almost believes, with her, that he and his side of the house owe her tireless service to con- pensate for the material ease he can't yet provide.
 Yet, as I see the picture, Mary, while systematically registering dis satisfaction with Toms means and your healthy detachment, is her self failing most signally to take the one measure best calculated to early transform her present lean circumstances into something more nearly approximating her desires.
 That measure would consist in giving Tom peace of mind, rested nerves, a forward thrusting con- fldence in his ability to tread the heights, given time, and a singing sense of dauntless, independent married unity, to carry with him into his daily work-this to be done by setting him an spiriting example of treating present difhculties as mere wayside challenges.
 Instead, what does Mary doP Sne claws him constantly with her nt- tie grievances. sapping his strength and clouding his mind. And If he never amounts to anything, she will be 60 percent to blame for 1t; and his initial mistake-from which others stem, to keep them down. will have been in abasing himself to her wrong -headedneSs.
 Having said this, need l add that I heartily indcrse your general at titude, based on the sound philoso- phy that children when grown should stand on their own feet. You would weaken both Tom and Mary by letting them badger you into the role of old faithful retainers. About the car: If you didn't have it, Mary would get to the doctors somehow, if she sincerely thinks such visits are indispensable to the baby's welfare. And since to you the car is a vital workaday asset in con serving strength, and a principal source of pleasure besides, l see no reason for lending it to her, thus incurring inconveniences she there by escapes.

Whenever the Censoring Commit tee of the library banned 8 book one by Henrik ISben or George Bernard Shaw or Upton Sinclair or Robert Ingersoll, for inStance-he sent away and bought a copy and then carried it around openly under his arm.
 Naturally, there was lot of talk about him. People didn't approve of his never going to church. They didn't like the idea of his selling his house-it had been in the family for three generations-and moving into hotel. There was talk, too, about the way his family lot was kept. There wasn't even marker on his mothers grave.
 MT. Tapley's mother had been a very important person in the vil- lage. No project was ever begun without her approval or completed without her zest. She was superin- tendent of the Sunday School, pres- ident of the Sunday School. pres ident of the Thursday Circle, and founder of our branch of the w. c. T. U.

 Primping in Public Tops Male List of Peeves, So Make Up in Private
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Fight of temptation to primp in public mirrors. When you win, your reward is the kind of boise that gives a girl an extra dimension to her good looks.
 When you appraise yourself in the mirrors of elevators, taxicabs and shop windows, you force people to watch to come to one of two conclu- sions. One is that you're not very sure of yourself. The other? That you are vain little thing.
 Satisfy yourself on all points Of good grooming before you leave home, and you won't need to peek in mirrors If nose grows shiny. hair tugs loose, or you chew rouge oil your lips, then head for the ladies' room and make repairs.
 You can, of course. make a furtlye sWipe with a lipstick or a powder puff in public, if your hand is quicker than your escorts eye. But you run the risk of getting caught. If you're tempted, remember that making up in public usually tops the list of masculine peeyes.

 What girl, MamaP" we demand ed. It seemed impossible.
 She was never one to gossip. There is no point in digging up the past" she said firmly. Tt was just that he had girl who didn't dare stand up against his mother. She married someone else"
 By this time we were all ears.
 Who was she, Mamap"
 "Was she someone from around here?"
 Now, now" she said. I'm sorry that ever brought it up"
 You just go and play some gamer"
 But it was too late.
 Just tell us if she was someone from around here, Mama"
 Just tell us if it was someone we know"
 My father couldn't stand teasing. Tell them," he said. Now that you have gone this far"
 Well" she went on reluctantly. But see that you don't repeat 1t to anyone"
 We promised.
 Tt was Eunice Sawyer. She was Eunice Hinckley then"
 "Eunice Sawyer, we gasped.
 Eunice Sawyer was plump, hearty farm woman with a husband half her size and three robust boys. They lived five miles out of the vil- lage. It was hard enough to believe any middleaged people we knew could have ever felt romantic love. But MT. Tapley and Eunice Saw yer ..
 "Oh, Mama," Sue said.
 "She was 8 real pretty girl,' my mother insisted, "and guess she makes a good. wife, too" ONE Saturday evening late in May V Julia and I were sitting on the steps of the American House watch ing the farmers come in to trace. In one of the buggies that passed we recognized Luther Sawyer and Eunice, weighing down her end of the seat.
 We looked at each other, remem- bering. Then we looked back at her. She was still pretty in a heavy, fad ed way. Too pretty, at least, We de- cided, for the little pinched man who tied the horse on the railing of the general store and without a word headed toward the barber shop.
 We watched her get out, pat the horse, pick up her basket, and start of.
 Do you suppose she will go to his store?" asked Julia.
 I had just been wondering that.
 We didn't take our eyes of her as she passed from one store to another. First the meat market, then the hardware, then the cob bler'S, across the street again to read the notices on the Post Of- five. Then toward the long line of gray buildings where the dry goods store was. Would she go in?
 She didn't go in. She didn't even look in. Head up, eyes straight ahead, she went on to the btkery.
 We watched the next Saturday the next. and the next. She had gone into every store but his.
 Had they met face to face since their quarrel? We wondered.
 What would happen if they did? (TO Be COntinued)

CHAPTER VI

CHAPTER VI
 WHEN we took over the Amer W ican House, we had only one regular boarder. This was MT. Mar tin Tapley, who owned the dry goods store. MT. Tapley was a bachelor, middle-aged and growing bald. He dressed very untidily. His teeth were stained, and his skin was sallow. ("That's what comes from his smoking so many cigarets," people said, nodding wisely) But smoking wasn't the worst of it.
 He had good business-people were careful to point out that he had inherited it-but he took 1t lightly, seeming not to care whether his books showed profit or loss. He seldom appeared in his dry goods store until noon, leaving everything to his two off1cious clerks.
 You could always count on MT.
