MARRIAGE
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

Don't make your daughter feel
sorry that she is a girl.
Mrs. L. advises from experience.
I'm my childhood" she writes, II
was prevented from doing many
things my brothers were allowed
to do. I could have done them
would have enjoyed doing them
but I was forbidden just because
1 was a girl! I grew up with a
feeling of hostility toward my
mother because I felt that she
was favoring the boys, that she
was treating me unfairly. I'm
afraid I resented the fact that
I was a girl-and that's a terrible
thing! I don't want my daughter
to grow up with such resentments.
Don't you think this Is something
which mothers ought to watch
more carefully, DR.. Popenoe?"
You're absolutely right, Mrs. L.
It is probably safe to say that
the great majority Of the girls in
North America grow up with some
feelings of resentment because OF
discrimination. as they think land
often justifiahlyD. during child
hood. Many grown women are
trying unconsciously to be imita-
ton men instead of successful
women. It's q handicap to sue
cessful marriage or even to getting
married. If you have any doubt
about yourself, write me, in care
Of The Evening Star, for a copy
Of my little 2o-page booklet, This
Way to Marriage" It contains a
self-rating scale on "Just How
Womanly Are You?"
Please inclose a stamped, SELF
addressed envelope and a dime
to cover cost of pamphlet.
It is important that every moth
er give her daughter q square
deal in this respect, Mrs. L., and
the best way to insure this is to
see that she gets just as many
privileges as the boys do-though
they will not be the same priv
ileges in every case. If junior is
a Boy Scout, make sure that his
sister joins some organization like
the Camp Fire Girls or Girl Scouts.
Your job is to make your daugh-
ter proud that she is a female and
to see that she grows up to be a
happy woman, wife and mother
It will take some thought and
Imagination on your part to man
age this. But her whole future
will be influenced by your sue
cess or failure. There are too
many unhappy women in the
world, too many frustrated spin
Isters and frigid wives, whose
mothers allowed them to grow up
with the idea that it is a misfor-
tune to be born a girl. You're
absolutely right. Mrs. L., in want
i ing to make certain that your
little girl feels proud of her sex
not resentful of it. And you are
the only one who can insure this
] for her.

 The tabling vote on the bill carrying the name of Rep. Glen Franklin O-Boundary) did not mean the Senate majority was opposed to it.

 Sen. John Butrovich R-Fair- banks) moved for tabling after he hit a snag in trying to postpone action until next week. He. ex- plained later he felt there would be no need for a committee if leg islators are added to an admins tration board.
 If senators want to take the measure off the table later it will require a majority vote, but sup porters pointed out it couldn't pass anyway unless it got a maj ority.
