Modern MARRIAGE
Girl Can't Get Clear Title to Momo's Boy;
All Worthwhile Men Love Their Mothers
By Dr.. PouI Popenoe

That's the most dangerous
kind of man a girl can marry!"
We were talking at lunch about
Kay's wedding. We all knew her
and her family. We know her
husband and his family-espe-
cially his mother! She had a
strangle-hold on her darling boy
and we all doubted whether any
wife could ever break that ma
ternal grip, Such a mama's boy,
Mr.. L. asserted. was the most
dangerous prospect for matri-
mony.
Other Undesirables.
I'D say a chronic alcoholic is
q worse prospect" Mr.. B. OBJ
jected.
But it's the same thing. The
alcoholics start as mama's boys. 3"
Eyes, you've got me there" Mr..
B. now agreed. What about the
Don Juan type-the husband who
is always after two or three other
women? Is any matrimonial pros
pect worse than that?"
There's the irresponsible quit
ter" Mr.. Y. suggested. 1.-THE fel-
low who never keeps job but is
always borrowing money to
finance a lease on some greener
pasture. I'd call him as poor a
risk as any other"
Not entirely or necessarily, 4"
MIR. B. again differed. "A cousin
of mine married such q fellow.
She's always had to support him.
but he's a good father and she
thinks he's worth his price-ap-
proximately."
rs any man really more dan
gerous for girl to marry than
the one who is at the same time
egotistical, vain. and stubborn"
I asked. Hes likely to have most
of the other defects you fellows
are describing"

was Immediately outvoted.
Il stand on my original plat
form," Mr.. L. declared. "A genu-
inc mama's boy has everything
that is. everything wrong"
We'll, be sure he's genuine"
cautioned. "It's an advantage to
a girl if her prospective husband
has a good deal Of respect and
affection for his mother"
"Shucks, any man worth the
s name would have that" Mr.. l..
, insisted. THE dangerous kind I'm
talking about - the kind Kay
picked-isn't even a man. He's
not a separate and individual hu-
man being. He's just an append
age of his mother. Nice manners,
yes. Good clothes. yes. Any

Questions and Answers.

Questions and Answers.
@. Do the figures support your
claim that industry can use lot
of older workers profitably?
A. Bureau of Labor Statistics
has made a study of workers IS
years of age and over. They had
fewer injuries than younger per-
sons, and least absenteeism. High
est absentee rate was found among
teen-age employees.
@. Why should the child Of q
broken home feel unhappy? He
isn't to blame.
A. No. he's merely the victim,
but he may not be able to under
stand that it isn't his fault. DR..
John Hickman of the London
Clinic of Psycho-analysis, declares
that 1.-THE child Of a broken home,
in which the parents are separated
or unhappy, grows up with bur-
den of guilt. It feels an uncon-
scious responsibility for the un-
happiness of the parents.

Camera Angles
Contact Printing Is Simplest Form

Considering the smallness of bulk
|of the equipment. you can use 9
corner of the kitchen or bathroom
for your darkroom. Any Other
room would do, as a matter OF
fact, but a good water supply is
essential. AS with all photo
graphic work that involves light
sensitive materials, a working area
free from daylight or white arti-
ficial light is required.
A dark blanket over the window
and all doors closed is usually
enough because paper. unlike film
is not overly sensitive. In fact
you will be able to carry out al
your printing and developing
under the safelight. If you work
at night you won't even have te
worry about the window unless il
faces street and traffic lights. JuSt
make sure that no one opens 8
door suddenly while your box o.
paper is open.
1t is also desirable that the we
and dry portions of the work art
kept separate. For example. keel
your printing frame, negative!
and paper away from the place
where the developing. etc, is &C.
complished. If you do everythin;
in one place you will eventually
get splashes of the working solu.
tions on the paper. the printing
frame or the film with disastrous
results.
