Or you may use separate cur

ct WANT my marriage to be
1 a success. Is there any
secret?" This is what a girl
from Philadelphia writes me in
a most touching letter. She is
%, has been motherless since her
18th year and has been managed
by a grandmother, aunts, her
father and not one but two STEP
mothers.
The marriage history of most Of
these persons isn't happy. Mary
Lees grandmother was widowed
young, married and divorced and
now is separating from her third
mate, man 33 years old. Two aunts
are divorced and her first step
mother and her father did not make
a success of it.
George is 49," writes Mary Lee.
"He is my dream man, although I
am not silly enough to tell him that.
But he truly has been my ideal since
he was in college and I was in first
year high school. He has a fine job
with an oil company. He has been
buying love of home, six rooms
and a garden in a lovely neighbor-
hood, and everyone is sending us
things. Of course, I am the happiest
girl in the world"
But what I want to know" the
letter goes on in a more serious
tone, "is how to begin now to make
my marriage a success. I want
children and friends. I want to be
a sort of woman that other women
admire as a wife and mother; l
want silver wedding in 1878, with
children and grandchildren.
Determined to Succeed
George seems perfect to me now
gentle and wise and liked by
everybody. But see the wrecks of
marriage all about me and l feel
that there must be some secret
rules, some way in which, if
man and his wife are determined
to stay together and to go on loving
each other, they can do it. My

and devoted wives, but you can't
imagine how afraid l am of mis-
takes, how anxious l am not to do
something that l will regret all my
life. And George" this charming
and innocent letter ends, feels the
same way
In reply, I want to tell Mary Lee
that she and her George, in making
these resolves, are starting right.
And for the rest, if they will try
to remember as the years go by
that they both are humans, both
faulty, both given to changes of
opinion and inconsistencies in ac-
ton, they will find it easier to for
give each other when the inevitable
jars occur.
Put him first in everything.
That's perhaps as important rule
as any. Keep him feeling so COM
Portable and so loved that he al
ways will want to put you first.
This doesn't mean spelling him or
making doormat of yourself, but
it does mean consideration for his
ideas and his dignity. 1t means that
you don't make plans without con-
sulting him and that if he isn't
enthusiastic about parties, dancing
or your old girlhood friends, go very
light on all these for a time. Even
tually you will work out your own
friends, both together, and then
parties will be more enjoyable than
any lopsided affair where one part
ner or the other is feeling bored or
abused.
Remember that finances are of
major Importance. Don't waste,
don't run bills, don't express desires
for what you cannot afford. More
quarrels, more bitterness, more di-
vorces arise from this one source
than from any other.

he declared, "if we have to live out our
lives under the ugly overhanging shadow
of war We can only master the questions
of swollen prices, debt and taxes In a

to our foreign problems. The question OF

This is worth remembering. For 1t Is
one of the most important truths OF our
time. Regardless of who may be in the
White House next year and IN the years TO
come, there Is no real prospect that this
country can hope for an easing OF It's bur-
dens until the threat of war is dispelled.
And there is very little chance that the
threat of war will be dispelled unless the
people of the United States, after the elec-
ton, brush aside the lollipops that are
being dangled before their eyes by all OF
the candidates in this campaign, and come
to grips again with the facts of life. The
central fact among these is that we, and
we alone, have the resources to achieve
peace in the world, and that we can have
peace only if we will resolve to make the
sacrifices necessary to secure it.

its partisan political implications, to say moth

by subversive elements, continued progress to-

Negro race in the South for an Interpretation

Said Booker T. Washington: ut is well to bear
in mind that whatever other sins the South
may be called to bear, when it comes to busi-
ness, pure and simple, it is In the South that
the Negro is given a mans chance in the COM
mercial world" Again: In all things that
are purely social we can be as separate as the
fingers yet one as the hand in all things es-
sential to mutual progress" Finally, the long
time head of Tuskegee Institute, the first
Negro leader to be invited by Theodore

CIimuctic Baseball Tie

It is exciting and all that, but is it fair?
Here we have the Redskins about to open
their regular 1948 season and college foot
ball getting into full swing and what
happens? A three-way tie for the Amer
ican League baseball championship de-
velops for the first time in big league
history-that is what happens.
BY defeating the Boston Red Sox in a
thrilling game yesterday at Yankee Sta
dium, New. York went into tie for first
place with Boston and Cleveland-the
Indians having lost close contest to the
Detroit Tigers. The three neck-and-neck
teams now have won ninety-one games
each and lost fifty-six each, with only seven
more games for each to 60.
Local fans will have more than routine
interest in the last-stretch battle for the
pennant. Although the Mats are in seventh
place in the league standings, three of
Washington's final games will have vital
bearing on the outcome of the champion
ship drive Manager Kuhel's hapless. team
is scheduled to play the Red Sox next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With
the local boys basking in belated winning
streak after nearly capturing the record
for successive losses, Boston will have to
battle all the way. Boston's other games
will be against it's arch adversary, the
Yankees, while Cleveland will be pitted
against Detroit and Chicago. New York
still has three games to play with Phila-
delphia.
A story-book finish thus is in prospect
for sports fans If the final result is
two or three way tie, there will be post
season playoff- something that has never
been necessary before in the American
League. So, hold everything, football.

The Swedish Elections

Sweden is justly celebrated as the coun-
try of "the middle way" Its homogeneous,
intelligent and cool-headed people habit
ually avoid extremes. Furthermore,
Sweden was fortunate enough to avoid in
yolvement in both world wars; so today 1t
shares with Switzerland the status of
sort of museum piece" perpetuating the
unscathed tranquility of the age which
elsewhere ended in 1914.
Such is the country which has just held
parliamentary elections. And the out
come has been a popular reaffirmation OF
confidence in the moderate socialism that
has been in favor for the past thirty years.
The Social Democrats have been SWeden's
strongest single party since 1917 and have
been in the government since 1892. During
the war, Sweden had a broad coalition
cabinet representing all parties except the
Communists, but for the past three years
they have governed alone, the elections of
1914 having given them exactly half of all
the seats in Parliament.
1t Is the Social Democrats, therefore,
who have been responsible for Sweden's
postwar program. And though their rule
has been without serious blunders, they
have inevitably exposed themselves to
criticism from various quarters. Excluding
the Communists, relatively small group
which stands outside the normal course OF
politics, the opposition is divided between
three parties-the Liberals, Agrarians, and
Conservatives, whose names adequately
describe their respective ideologies. The
most dynamic of these critics have been
the Liberals under an able leader, Bertil
Ohlin. He it was who engineering joint
campaign of the three moderate groups
against Social Democratic ascendancy.
This effort rebounded in favor of the
Liberals, who more than doubled their
seating in the new Parliament and became
Sweden's second largest party. But those
gains were made chiefly at the expense of
the Conservatives, who lost much ground.
The Social Democrats have three less seats
in the new Parliament, but their popular
vote was actually ahead of 1914, being ap-
proximately as great as all the other
parties put together. The Communists
were heavy losers, polling only a trifie over
5 per cent of the total vote and being
reduced to nine seats In Parliament instead
of their former fifteen.
The Socialists will have slight majority
over the opposition bloc, and SO will con-

Britain PREPARES

Against background of crisis affecting
both the great English-speaking nations,
it is interesting to note British prepara-
tions to cope with the contingency of a
new war.
That those preparations are today in full
swing is obvious from official statements
made by government spokesmen in both
Houses of Parliament Addressing grave
ly silent Commons, Defense Minister A. ".
Alexander sketched out the general pic
ture of the manifold measures comprising
Britain's preparedness program. These in
cluded a showdown in demobilization OF
the armed forces, an intensive recruiting
campaign for the home forces correspond
ing to our National Guard, civilian train
ing for anti-aircraft and other duties, a
sharp step-up of armaments production,
and creation of a special emergency re-
serve from former service personnel. In
this connection, it should be remembered
that the British governments peacetime
powers for mobilization are greater than
ours.
Mr. Alexander and other government
spokesmen voiced regret at the costs and
burdens of rearmament at time when
Britain was striving to rebuild its eco
nomic life, but warned that there was no
alternative in view of the dangerous inter-
national situation. Criticized by Conserva-
tive spokesman, Anthony Eden, on the
ground that the government statement
was vague, Mr.. Alexander replied signifi-
cantly that this was intentional, because
"The trend of recent events has not been
such as to encourage us to make public
more information than we have hitherto"
Conservative reactions in both Houses
were to urge the government to even
stronger preparedness measures The only
adverse notes came from Laborite left
wingers, who suggested that the United
States give more aid in the form of new
lend-lease and assure manpower to defend
Western Europe from attack.
In conjunction with it's statement on the
defense program, the government assured
Parliament that important diplomatic
steps were being taken in the shape
of conferences on co-ordinated strategy
among the British Commonwealth, the
United States, and countries of Western
Europe.
From all this, it appears that Britain,
regardless of party, is girding itself for
eventualities and has no intention Of
being caught mapping or unprepared,

nature of this problem" Meanwhile, Brit
ish and German military authorities had
begun secret studies, too, with the British
making the better progress. The rest OF
the story of radar is history.
It is evident that not only the United
States but Britain and our other allies
owe debt of gratitude to DR.. Taylor. For
it is not stretching the truth to say that
his early observations and experiments at
his laboratory on the Potomac paved the
way for the major contribution to Allied
victory which radar made in the recent

Dr.. ToyIor and Rudur

In retiring after thirty-one years with
the Navy as civilian employe or commls-
stoned officer, DR.. A. Hoyt Taylor leaves
behind him an extraordinary record OF
scientific achievement. Reference was
made at a retirement ceremony to DR..
Taylor's pioneer work on radar, for which
he received the Medal of Merit after World
War II. There was no mention, however,
of DR.. Taylor's long efforts to persuade
the Navy Department that his crude elec-
tronic "eye,' first tested on the Potomac
in 1921, should be installed aboard every
warship.
The British, who gave major credit to
radar for the defeat of the Luftwaffe dur
ing the Battle of Britain, have said they
first learned about the device from reports
of DR.. Taylor's experiments printed IN
scientific journals in 1922. Those reports
told of the discovery by DR.. Taylor ana
an assistant, Leo Young, that short-waVe
radio impulses sent from the Bellevue
Naval Research Laboratory to the Virginia
shore were distorted every time boat
passed between the transmitting station
and the receiver across the river. They
knew that radio waves were interfered
with by mountains or other large objects.
but this was the first time that small
wooden boat had been known to interfere.
If these waves could detect wooden boat
moving on the Potomac, DR.. Taylor rea-
soned, why not use them to detect enemy
warships approaching at night or in a
fog? He made the revolutionary sugges-
ton in a memorandum to the department
in 1922. Nothing happened. DR.. Taylor
and his assistants continued their elec-
tronic studies and in 1890 noted that Boil
ing Field airplanes in fight also could be
detected with an improved instrument.
Finally, in 1881, the department issued its
first orders for intensive research in this
field: Investigate use Of radio to detect
the presence of enemy vessels and air.

What A Generation!

The average American male, who thinks
that the millennium has arrived on any
day when he does not have to get his own
breakfast and help with the dinner dishes,
will be interested in the lament of DR.. Enid
Hughes, who is woman, as her name i'm
plies, but who will be regarded by the
other members of her sex as the great
betrayer.
Writing in the British Medical Journal,
DR.. Hughes, Londoner, advances the
theory that modern woman is going to pot.
And in support of that thesis she goes on
to say things that no man in his right
mind would think of saying, or at least
he would not think of saying them out
loud.
Dr. Hughes complains that most mothers
today are feeding their babies from bottles,
not because they have to, but so the
mothers can gad around to movies and
dances. They neglect their homes in a
way that would shock the mothers of a
generation ago. In the old days, and this
again is according to DR.. Hughes, almost
any woman in the fishing towns baited
TOO hooks day, cooked the family meals,
produced the children, nursed them,
helped pull the boats up on the beach
when the men came back with the fish,
baked the bread, did the washing and
ironing, cleaned the house, bathed the
children, went to bed at nine o'clock and
got up at four to get the men ready for
their days work.
1t is to be doubted that this recital of
the virtues of the good wife of genera
ton ago will have any practical uses to-
day. 1t is interesting in a remote sort Of
a way, and it may give married man
food for thought when he falls to brooding
over the injustices and the inequities of
his lot. But it is not recommended that
he take DR.. Hughes. too seriously. If he
is man of discretion he will refrain from
Haunting the Hughes specifications for a
good wife in the face of his own better
half. When the next call to action comes,
whether it be to dry the dishes or to get
the kids to bed, the wise husband will
put DR.. Hughes out of his mind and go
neekly about his assigned task, just as
he has always done. The life of husband
may have been thing of joy in the days
of which she writes, but those days are
gone forever.

Her answer will be to inaugurate panel discus

parents with what our teachers are trying to do
