If you want to get anything

But If, on the other hand. your

I explained this to Mrs. NICK,
Hes continually criticizing
me-" she complained. HE comes
home. and starts to find fault
with anything he sees. He sits
down at the table. and begins to
point to what's wrong-errors of
omission or commission, as he'd
say in his law business. The min
ute he does that I get mad and
snap back at him. Then there's
trouble. How can I make him stop
that sort of thing?"

control, and acquire a new habit. ~

cts the same thing" I asserted.
1T will work both ways. When he
makes a criticism, draw him out.
Ask for a bill of particulars, as
the lawyers would say"
He'd have plenty!"
How do you know? From what
you tell me. I doubt If you ever
gave him a chance. You have
formed a habit of coming right
back at him. Now form a new
habit-the habit of sitting back
comfortably in your chair, relax
ing, and asking him to tell you
some more.

Modern MARRIAGE
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

AT first, I admit. you won't
find it easy to relax! But keep
trying. Ask him to explain himself
further, to suggest ways Of avoid
ing the difficulty. to discuss the
manner in which he, or his moth
er, used to handle such problems,
and so on. This will have several
advantages. In the first place, he
won't have a chance to start on
some new and different complaint
In the second place, he may come
to see that there wasn't much
basis for his complaint. In the
third place, maybe you'll both be-
gin to laugh before he has gone
very far.
String him along. Filibuster,
or maybe ought to say, make him
do the filibustering. You may be
surprised to find how easy it isl"
Questions and Answers.
@. Why are girls more emo
tional than boys?
A. Born that Way-d1fferent

lar system. different system of
glands of internal secretion. Also
brought up different.
@. If a man wants to marry to
get a substitute mother, and
girl to get a substitute father.
would two such persons do well
to marry each other?
A. Both might do better not to
marry at all, until they are
weaned emotionally. They're try
ing to work the same side Of the

tempted dependence Of the other.
They are two clinging vines with
nothing to cling to.

1t Is set in a mythical kingdom
whose beautiful. bereaved young
queen has shut herself away from
the people for 10 years. This may
be good womanliness. but 1t is bad
politics. 1t leaves the queen rather
at the mercy of such plotters as
a crafty old archduchess. a treach-
erous police superior, and hand
some young poet of the people who
spends his political and literary
passion attacking the queen.
The story begins when the poetic
anarchist comes into the queen s
private suite through a balcony
window. bent upon despatching
her to her 10 years dead husband.
The sight of such a man is all
the queen has needed to snap her
out of her decade of lamentation.
At first overwhelmed by the visi-
tors resemblance to her dead hus-
band, she RECEIVERS In time to read

discovered the power Of speech

holding periodic examinations OF
her pupil. she keeps right on dous-
ing him with the lecture course.
In addition to its disclosure on
the subject of political differences
between humans. Eagle With Two
Heads" also gets into the subject
of personal destiny.
The queen has some strong. but
somewhat fuzzy, notions on this
subject. The substance Of them
Is that the poetic anarchist Is not
only going to fall in love with her.
but also that he is going to be
the instrument Of her wish to die.
She Is right, but it does not work

Fowler Grabs Facts
Enough for Book
BY the Assoeiotsd Press
HOLLYWOOD


Gene Fowler, author and screen
writer. takes his research serious
ly. In writing Beau James," his
biography of the late Jimmy
Walker, Fowler even adopted the
habits and mannerisms Of New
York's colorful Mayor. He smoked
the same kind Of cigarettes and
cut his hair the same way. He
gathered enough material for 10
books.
His best years as a reporter
paralleled Walkers political ca
rere. They met in 1918. when
Walker was q State Senator and
Fowler was q reporter for the
New York American. Later Fow-
Ter became managing editor.
Briefly he was editor Of the Morn
ing Telegraph-until. he says. he
passed out too many $200-a-week
raises. He still says he liked re-
porting best Of all his Jobs.
Walker. he recalled. refused to
grow old. when somebody ask
