Modern MARRIAGE
Hosty Alliance Is Always Dangerous;

In the second place, you are
likely to marry more hastily than
you did the first time. You knew
your first wife for some years
You we're engaged for a year and
a half. Now you're in hurry
You won't allow yourself the time
for a prolonged process of dating
courtship and engagement. Hasty
marriages are always dangerous.
Finally, the children themselves
do complicate the marriage. Your
new wife will have to get along
with them as well as with you.
They may not try as hard to adjust
to her, as you will. If YOU marry
a widow with a child of her own,
you will double the complications
You should remarry, Mr.. e.. No
argument on that point. But look
these difficulties in the face. Take
your time. And then prepare to
use all the patience and knowledge
you have in building up a new
home that will be-and must be

enjoyed before.

Don't try a ''rumor clinic" with
a group of women if there are any
mirrors in the room.
The children's game OF gossip
adapted by psychologists to prove
how easily dangerous rumors can
develop, got off to a flying start
yesterday at the luncheon meeting
of the Alpha Zeta Omega Phar-
maceutical Auxiliary held at Hotel
24O0. Under the direction OF Alex
Weinstein, director of community
relations of the Antidefamation
League of B'nai Birth, the "rumor
clinic" followed the luncheon.
Ten auxiliary members were sent
from the room so they couldn't
see what was happening. Then a
slide was flashed on the screen.
It's central figures were a Negro
and white man engaged IN argu-
ment or mere discussion (still a
moot question among the ladies
of the auxiliary.
After three minutes OF study.
one luncheon guest was asked to
describe what she saw to one Of
the women who had been sent
from the room. The latter, in
turn, described it to a second
woman who had not seen the
slide. On it went. down to the
seventh or eighth woman.
Then everything came to a halt.
AS they returned to the room,
the 10 participants had their
backs to the screen where the
slide was flashed from time to
time. But Mr.. Weinstein over
looked, the fact that the ladies
were facing a mirror which re.
fected the slide. No rumor de-
veloped.
Results here today are differ
.ent from thes. normal aHattefn,'
Mr.. Weinsteip said with a laugh
IN describing what happens when
there are no mirrors around, he
said that although the white man
shown in the picture is holding
a razor, before the test is over,
someone usually has the Negro
not only holding the blade but
attacking the white man. ANY
one with the slightest prejudice
is apt to fix the image, enlarge
and glorify the details and end
up by putting the blame on the
Negro" he declared.
Mr.. Weinstein explained that
the picture shown was designed
to bring out specific reactions in
the mind. It contains a number
of mental traps" to prove ones
prejudices. AS an example Of its
value in that regard. he said it

Mr.. z. is a widower with two
small children. OF course he wants
to remarry. OF course he'll have
no trouble in finding wife. There
are a hundred thousand women
looking for just such a man-36
years old, with a good home and
a good job.
Junior and Sis need mother" "
Mr.. z. remarks. II want to find
one for them. But, of course, I
want to consider my own happi-
ness. My first marriage was a
good one, as you know. Is there
any reason why my second
shouldn't be a good one, too?
These children won't be a handi-
cap, will they?"
Yes, Mr.. T., in a sense they will
be handicap. That doesn't mean
that you should not remarry. I
agree that you should. But any
manor woman-in your position
ought to recognize frankly that
there are some hazards.
In the first place. remarriage is
likely to be something of busi-
ness proposition. You are re-
marrying to get housekeeper
and some one to look after two
small children whom you can't
handle because you have to be
away from home all day. You can
hire a housekeeper. However,
there are many advantages in
marrying one instead! This busi-
|ness-like approach may have a
real value-it may lead you to
examine the candidates more care
fully and not be swept off your
feet by glamour and sentiment.
Nevertheless, you ought to recog-
niZe this element.

Told How FDA
Checks on Turkeys
By Ruth Dean

The Food and Drug Administra-
ton is on the alert to see that
when you buy that Thanksgiving
turkey, it will taste as good as it
looks.
Members of the Washington
Club were assured of that yester-
day in a talk by William w. Good
rich, attorney with the Federal
Security Agency.
Mr.. Goodrich cited recent in
stance of the administrations
vigilance in Atlanta, Ga. Inspec-
tors became suspicious of a ship
ment of frozen turkeys. even
though they looked to be in fine
condition. On hunch that
something was wrong. they pur-
chased one for laboratory analysis.
After it was cooked" Mr.
Goodrich said. "the bird just fell
apart and was entirely unpalat-
able" It was discovered that the
turkeys had been treated with
tenderizing liquid. he added, so
the shipment was declared unfit
for human consumption and court
action was instituted against an
other violator of the Pure Food
and Drug laws.
A recent rise in the price of
coffee sent inspectors off on an
other investigation on the strength
of past experience. the speaker
continued. Sure enough, in one
case they found evidence of
"Sweepings" spilled coffee
grounds swept from the holds of
ships and warehouse floors.
IF you just use your imagina-7
tion a little" he said, "you can
envision what our laboratory
technicians found on the samples
taken from the shipment-wooden
splinters .and adulteration from
the sea water in the hold of the
ship"

work of the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, was introduced by
