loudly announces its philosophy about wom-
en-: There is nothin' like dame. :"
And now televsion has taken up the chant:
there is. clearly. nothing on TV today quite
like the ladies.
To begin with. danes - ladies, that is
are considerably easier on the viewers eyes
than dog acts and tenors. But it takes more
than the sparkling smiles and the oontrover-
sial necklines to explain how females have
taken over the field already and seem sched-
uled to dominate it even more completely in
the season ahead.
Why is it that televisions personality"
programs - those that offer little more than
the unflinching charm of the proprietor -
are almost 100 per cent feminine in gender?
Why haven't some glib men succeeded as well
as pretty glib women?
One school of thought maintains that
whenever the sexes have met head on, the
women have proved. i'm the immortal
words of Miss Ethel Norman, that they
could do everything better. Harriet van
Horne, who is television critic for one of New
York's newspapers, has walked out on the
limb with sure strides: In general" she has

verve, wit imagination and richness of sound

woman's mounting superiority on TV. Its
my guess that particular girl adores her par

How Polio Affects
Norwegian People

DR.. Ole Gundersen, of the Nor
wegian Public Health Directorate,
recently concluded a comprehen-
Sive survey of polio cases in Nor
way during the past so years. Wis.,
iting practically every district of
the country, he has personally eX-
amined about $500 patients, or
more than 37% of the total re-
ported to health authorities.
The investigation shows a great
variation in the extent and dura-
ton of post-polio treatment. Thus,
patients in Southern Norway have
had more ready access to post
treatment than those in the north-
ern provinces. In his conclusions,
DIR. Gundersen indicates that hos
pital facilities for polio sufferers
should be increased by 100 beds
beyond the planned additions.
Of the total examined, $50 have
suffered slight or no lasting in
jury: about 1900 show considerable
injury; and the balance is evenly
distributed between the two eX-
tremes. Polio has in recent years
shown a tendency to attack older
age groups. During the past three
years, Norwegian Red Cross has
sent more than 200 polio patients
to Denmark for post-treatment.

Sweden Boasts
Lowest Infant
Mortality Rate

STOCKHOLM - Sweden and
New Zealand lead world statis-
tics as regards the lowest rate
of infant mortality, according
to a report issued by the World
Health Organization. Iceland,
Holland and Australia come
next.
Not only an indicator of the
state of child health but also of
that of the whole population,
the figures show a rate of NOR
tally of % per 1000 infants
in Sweden under the age of one.
Corresponding figures for the
United States are 81, Britain
81. Denmark and Switzerland
81.
Comparative figures for child
mortality today and fifty years
ago indicate that the rate has
been steadily declining since
the beginning of the century. In
Sweden it has decreased from
SO to %, in Belgium from lie
to 6S, in Spain from 1856 to g.
and in Australia from 1O4 to
%.

Referring to one of my columns
a reader protests: "All my life I've
agreed with you on most things,
but not in your answer about writ
ing return addresses on envelopes.
You advise that on letter to
someone whose address is de-
flnitely known, a return address
is unnecessary. One thing I think
you neglected to consider is that
in the event of wet weather even
this correct address may become
blurred and unreadable and with
out a return address the en-
velope might conceivably land in
the Dead Letter Office"
This seems to me a very strange
point of view. Surely rain to such
q degree would be far more liable
to smudge a little address in the
corner than the large one across
the center of the envelope. BY all
means, however, write a return ad-
dress if you want to!

Dorothy Dix

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a 20
year-old son who is in the Air
Force. While he was home on a
weekend pass, he met a l7-year-
old girl and took her out several
times. They corresponded for
about six months, then he came
home for 10 days and bought her
an engagement ring. His father
and are very upset about the ro-
nance, because. aside from their
youthfulness, the girl has had
four operations and I am afraid
she will never be well enough to
take on the responsibilities of mar
riage. Her mother has seven chill
dren and from talking to her
gather she would be glad to marry
this girl off and get away from
the obligation of footing her doc
tor and hospital bills.
I have told my son that if he
marries her, they won't see us at
the wedding. nor can he ever come
home again on leave, or other
wise. He has been in love with
half a dozen girls before this, so
I don't believe he really loves this
girl. Do you think I'm right in
washing my hands Of my son be-
cause of his blindness? IDA.
Answer: I heartily agree with
you that your sons outlook for a
good marriage is not very promis-
ing. but your solution is about the
worst one you could suggest
There is every possibility that the
romance will wear itself out. con-
sidering your boys absence in the
service, his youth, and the fact
that he has already been inter-
ested in several girls.
In any event, you will do moth
ing to ease the situation by clos
ing your heart and your home tc
him. You will do far better tc
point out to him all the disad-
vantages of the marriage he con-
templates, but let him know that
if things turn out badly you will
be around to help. That's what
mothers are for!
Although it comes under the
head of interfering" I think you
would be justified in asking the
girls mother just how sick she is
and what her prospects of recov-
cry are. if she is willing to coop
crate with you to this extent. This
information might put your mino
at ease as far as her health is
concerned; it's very possible that

Mistaken Junior
Dear Mrs. Post: We have named
a son for his father except for his
middle name. Because of this diff
ference he is not a junior. But we
are warned that later on this may
prove confusing since people pay SO
little attention to a middle initial.
What is your opinion?
Answer: For the very reason of
avoiding this confusion the son
is usually called by his middle
name; thus the father is known as
John H. and the son as j. Henry.
