Boom in Hebre'
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

AS\ANJS AAN'J
i gather from fellow cOlum
ist that there is quite a boom
in the Hebrew language. A MI
Der of colleges are offering spec
courses. The revival of Israel I
created a new interest in
language.
In the past, at least in Ameri

results. Remember the story F

"You should live so long (
your boy learns it," consoled
teacher.
But now it is different. It's t
rare student who can study a de;
language. But a living langual
is something different. There's
interest, an excitement in stud
ing Hebrew today.
The boom in Hebrew has
fact just begun. 1t will ga
much momentum in our unive
sites in the near future. I shou
not be- surprised to see MAI
"goyim" even beginning to take

Spanish for their language cours
There was a time in America VIII,
there was quite a vogue for stud

Dear Miss Dix: I am 81, married
II years and have two children.
When I married my wife I was very
much In love with her, 70 much 10
that did not pay too much atten-
ton to what q bad housekeeper she
was and, anyway, I thought she
would improve as she grew older.
But she has grown worse and now
doesn't even bother about her per-
sonal appearance.
I try very hard to keep up my end
of the bargain, but 1t Is very trying
to come home to q dirty house, dirty
kids and . sloppy wife and nothing
fit to eat. She Is still very pretty
and has q nice figure and we could
be happy together II she were not
so lazy. She has perfect health, 30
she can't use even that for an alibi.
When I try to talk to her, she only
cries and says I do not love her any
more.
All she wants to do Is to read and
to run to the neighbors' houses all
day. What In the world Is q man
to do with q wife like that?
A VERY PUZZLED HUSBAND.
Answer: Your problem r. easy to
solve. It simply consists in your
being q man instead OF . mouse.
AS long as you let . lazy, trifiing
wife make . doormat out Of you,
she will do it. But you can turn

BULB CARE.
from Mrs. r. Z. G., Fdtrtdr.) }

(Fron1 Mrs. r. Z. G., Fairtdr.)
Thanks 80 much for all the in
terest shown me In connection with
nv recent offer of bulbs and seeds.
Had so very many more requests
than anticipated. AS practically
every one sent stamped, address
ed envelope that, also, made 1t
easier for me. Am sorry I was not
able to answer all the nice letters.
I assume that many were disap-
pointed In the size Of the bulbs,
but they are naturally very small.
All, however, should grow and
bloom; patience is required.
After blooming care: Withhold
water gradually until foliage has
dried up. Take into basement be-
fore frost. Leave in soil in pot all
winter. Do not water, except to-
ward spring, give little now and
then. Then take from pot and start
as usual.
I think 1t would be fine for the
flower lovers who read the column
if we could have a sort OF exchange
and a place to leave all extra seeds
and bulbs for those who can use
them. Maybe something could be
worked out along that line.

REPORT FROM FRANCE.
From Mrs. r. F. T, WGShingto1'.)
I wonder if many Washington
women are familiar with the plan
whereby they can adopt" French
child by sending two food-clothing
parcels Cor % pounds a month
overseas. I've worked with Amer
lean Aid to France formerly Amer
ican Relief for France for years,
and have been overseas several
times myself since the wars end,
and have seen the need for help, and
talked with families that have been
adopted" by Washingtonians.
When overseas I first went to
some of the slum areas around Paris
but was told before by my friends to
be careful how I dressed, no jewelry,
no trick French hat, for I was going
into the Red belt" so-called as
there were supposed to be many
working men who were Communists
living there.
In all the homes I visited were
children who had been adopted" by
people in America. All I had to
say was that II was the lady from
America" come about the parcels
they were receiving from the States,
and the doors were opened like
magic.
I felt terribly proud about the way
Americans had responded in send
ing packages to the French chill
dren, so happy at the way Amer
ican help was really appreciated.
One of my visits was in such a
dreary quarter of Paris that the
taxi driver shook his head gloomily
it was no place for so-called
lady to go to, and he offered to &C
company me through the dark
courtyard. But I felt I could get
along better alone, and Just told
him that If did not come out with
in a specified time to then come in
and investigate.
1t was a frightful home. Two
shabby rooms housed 10 people, in
cluding a tiny forlorn- looking baby
and various older brothers and sis
tiers. When I said I was an Amer
ican the mother let out q torrent
of words-the gist Of which was that
the Americans were such wonderful
people.
. Upon receiving cable from a
very nice Government worker in
Washington who had been one of
the first to send parcels I went to
visit her family in Fresnes near
Paris, where the political prison is
