to some degree at least, but I
think the causes differ with indi-
viduals. AS a broad proposition.
many students believe that man.
because of his greater physical
strength and aggressiveness. has
been compelled to take the initia-
tive in the life struggle and he
can't do this unless he believes in
himself. That belief may easily
go too far and turn into what we
call conceit-a sort-o exaggerated
self-confidence, sometimes even
offensive in its nature.
| Now that we've established that
it most surely exists. we come to
the incontrovertible fact that
every woman has to deal with it.
Here are three ways she, can do
this:
/. Condemn it and try to put
the man in his place. She won't
get far with this. -.
2. Play up to it and. by flattery,
try to best him in battles of wits.
That's rather easy and women
rely. profitably, on that technique.

AS we grow older, we discover
that many things are not what
they seem. We must accept this
land fight against cynicism. Be-
cause one hero turns out to have
feet of clay is no reason to think
all heroes are phonies. Disillu-
Isionment is part of life and we
have to accept it and not let it
blur our thinking.
Miriam's first big disillusion-
ment, so far as she can remember
came at the age of 4 when she
discovered that her doll was stuffed
with sawdust. Now, she's run up
against another big one. She's
discovered that men are stuffed
with-pardon-that men are con-
Iceited!
Last year I joined the WACS,
she explained. Il thought it would
give me a chance to meet more
men, but it certainly has been a
disappointment. There are men all
around me. But, DR.. Popenoe,
they're all so conceited! What's
the matter with men? Why are
they like that?"
I don't know exactly. Maybe
women made them that way
This could be. Maybe they're just
born that way. On the other
hand, it could be a question OF
point of view. You know, con-
Iceited person has been described
as one who insists on talking
about himself when you're dying
to talk about yourself and can't
get a word in edgewise.

DIAPER SERVICE.
SCHEDULE?


From Mrs. j. M. d., WashinutonJ
In reference to Mrs. A. M. Ms
request for information about
diaper service in the District, I
had this service the first five
weeks after my baby was born.
I found it to be a tremendous
help in those weary weeks when
just the thought of doing them
yourself with the aid of a wash
ing machine that Isl is nearly
overwhelming. However, there are
several laundries which handle
this service and 1t would be well
to ask around to find out which
one gives the most reliable service.
Unfortunately. the one I had did
not prove satisfactory, in that they
would neglect to deliver q bundle
lof fresh diapers on the day ap-
lpointed-this happened to me
three times. And. of course, when
you are depending on receiving so
many on a certain day. you are
rather in a fix when you don't
have them.
AS soon as I was able I started
doing them in my automatic
washer and I do not find it a
chore at all, as I do about 2 dozen
every other day. I have 3 dozen
all together. I would heartily
recommend diaper service for a
month at least-well worth the
money.
My baby is now three months
old and is a perfect baby in every
way, but I cannot seem to keep
him on schedule. He wants to
sleep all day and at night is awake
ever few hours to be fed or played
with and is still on six feelings.
Has any one any suggestions?

AVAILABLE BOOK?

From Mrs. r. M. H., Washington J
We are temporary residents in
Washington. and enjoy driving
about the area. especially during
the nice weather. We are much
interested in the historic events
which have taken place in the
vicinity and are pleased to note
the markers set up along the
highway to locate such events.
However, we find it impossible to
stop and read most of them, be-
cause of traffic and modern driv-
ing habits. Does any one know
whether a book is available giving
this information by the number
of the marker? Perhaps the State
historical societies of Virginia and
Maryland publish such a book, or
should I write the State Chamber
of Commerce or the highway de-
partment?

From Mrs. g. r. b. Kensin0tonJ J
Perhaps ] can help the lady
with information about Portland
Greg. as I lived near there all my
life until q year ago. The city
is divided into four sections, much
like Washington. except that the
business area is in the southwest
section. There are. of course,
other shopping centers. The
Heights in the southwest section
as one approaches the city from
the west, and the Eastmoreland
section in the southeast part OF
town are two of the incest resi-
Dental areas in the city. There
are many others, of course, and
there is no particular part of town
that is undesirable, as residential
sections are well zoned from COM
mercial and industrial areas.
A house would probably be
easier and more desirable to rent
than an apartment, and if one
looked long enough. no more ex-
pensive than a comparable apart
ment. It Is truly city of homes,
not apartments.
The climate is wonderful. Pack
away your air-conditioners and
fans, you'll need these little in
Portland'S summers, which are
dry and warm from about the
middle Of July through Septem-
ber-most of the year one can
expect rain at any time. It is
not the sudden cloudburst rain
nor the cold, penetrating rain OF
Washington, and the sun is seen
often all year around. The spring
is long and pleasant. the fall like
wise, the winters usually mild and
you can expect about 2 or 3 weeks
OF heavy snow some winters, none
at all other winters. We wore
cottons all year around, also suits
and sweaters and skirts all year
around. depending on each days
weather, there is no real need for
a double wardrobe, one just puts
away the winter coat and ex-
changes it for a spring topper,
and that is the extent of the
change if you have a balanced
wardrobe.
The ocean is only about SO
miles away, and if you've lived in
the East all your life, you'll be
amazed at the system there. Sea-
side and other resort towns have
small "midways,"e but most of the
beaches are owned by the State as
parks and one just drives the car
of the scenic highway that is
along the entire length of the
coast and there you area mil
lion miles from people if you want
to be: or you can go to the towns
where the people are-but you'll
see no slot machines or beer
halls on the beaches, as they arc
confined. to the few "spotS" in
side the resort towns.
Mount Hood and other mountain
attractions are about so miles on
the other side of Portland. Tim
berline Lodge is world famous
for skiing and winter sports. and
the Cascades make wonderful
summer vacationland. The high
way along the Columbia River
Gorge must not be missed-it is
magnificent. All these places are
within a Sunday drive range
and Oregon and nearby Washing
ton State are filled with wonders
for vacations and weekend trips
as the climates and terrains vary
from the deserts of the eastern
sections to the fruitbasket Of the
western sections.

Freedom From Governm emf


The Saturday Evening Post re-
Gently ran an editorial called The
America We Lost" by DR.. Mario
A. Pei, who emigrated to this ccm-
try from Italy in 1908 and is now
an Associate Professor Of Romance
Philology at Columbia University.
DR.. Pei's theme is one that should
be pondered by every American
who loves this country, its tradi-
tons, and what it has stood for. lie
writes, "When | first came to
America, Al years ago, | learned
a new meaning Of the word Lib
erty'-freedom from government"
He had come from country
which was dominated by an octpus-
like bureaucracy. The simplest az
tivity resulted in government inter-
vention. In his words, "America
in those days made you open your
lungs wide and inhalc great gulps
Of freedom-laden air, for here was
one additional freedom-frcedom
from government"
This, DR.. Pei finds with sorrow,
is the America we have lost. To
quote him once more, "Forcign-
born citizens have been watching
with alarm the gradual Europeani-
cation of America over the past
20 years. They have seen the
growth of the familiar European
style Government octupus, along
with the vanishing of the American
spirit of freedom and opportunity
and its replacement by a breath
less search for security that is
doomed to defeat in advance in a
world where nothing, not even life
itself, is secure.
Ear more than the native-born.
they are in a position to make
comparisons. They see that
America is fast becoming nine
teenth century model European
country. They are asked to believe
that this is progress. But they
know from bitter experience that
it just isn't So"
Those who, like DR.. Pei, came
to US from across the seas in
search of opportunity and freedom
and the right and the chance to be
their own masters, are far wiser
than many of US whose roots 20
back to the very beginnings of
America. We were given the most
glorious heritage that any people
can have-the heritage of free
dom. We have been losing it
through inertia, blindness, the
spineless seeking for an impossible
security, the following OF false
prophets. We can only save it by
turning our backs squarely on po-
litical philosophers which have
made much of the world into a
vast slave camp.-Industrial News

You, no doubt like most of us.
make your contribution to all the
kicking that gees on in life. Some
kinds Of kicking can be justified,
like complaining to the landlord
about a,Ieaky roof. or to the Con
gresham about tricky piece Of
legislation, or TO the merchant
about his unscrupulous business
methods. or to the worker who
sleeps on the job But the kind Of
kicking that spats and sputters
against the things which can't be
helped and walls and whines
against fate doesn't help matters
one iota and often tends to make
them worse.
If there were ever man who
seemed to have a right to kick,
that man was the one called job
in the Bible. In rapid succession
he lost home, children, money and
health. And there was little
reason for this avalanche Of
trouble. But job said; Though
God Stay me, yet will I trust Him.
4 marvellous man, wasn't he?
Well, if you have to kick, Kick
like a gentleman, not like a mule.
a mule cant kick and pull at the
same time. Unless you can justify
it, simply don't kick, the word that
can change your life.
