By Angelo Potri

Children often like to explore
their neighborhood surroundings.
They are usually accompanied by
their dogs and frequently this
means that they trespass on the
grounds of another houseowner,
especially on suburban places
that have no fences. The old
idea that fences make for good
neighbors seems to be unpopular
in these developments. There
lies the root of many a neighbour
hood difficulty.
The mother who has three
children under school age has a
bigger task than she can man
age alone successfully. It is only
natural that one of her children
will go out to play and he may
take his dog along. The next
door garden always seems more
inviting to the youngster than

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

No wonder most people feel
tired and drawn at the end Of q
day. Most people push them
selves all day without those little
rest periods which make such a
difference in the way they meet
each evening. Besides that they
fail to take advantage of
moments in which they could
relax to some extent while on
the job.
There are many opportunities
during each business day when
we could untense rather than
stew. The time spent in a cab
or on a bus or in traffic tieupS
or while waiting for an appoint
ment can be times of resting
rather than fretting.
If you work in an Office you
can take little moments for re-
taxing while sitting right at your
desk. OF course. it would be
better if you could lie down, but
even sitting there. you can see
to it that your hands and legs
and shoulders and tongue are
loose. You can "let go" with
your mind and of your problems
and think of some faraway rest
full country scene.
The woman in the home has
q great advantage in that she
can deliberately plan at least two
rest periods of at least 10
minutes each day. Twenty
minutes, of course, is better. Do
not kid yourself that you have
not time. Any woman can spare
from 20 to 40 minutes daily for
the benefit of her health and
enjoyment and appearance In
fact, you will not miss the time
at the end of the day.
When you take these little rest
periods lie down on your bed
after removing restricting CLOTH
ing. Lie with you feet higher
than your head. You can do this
by using no pillow under the
head but placing several under
your feet and legs. If you have
a beauty angle, rest on it. Do
not think about problems. If you
must think, make it pleasant
thoughts, although the banker
your mind is. the better. De-
iberately become limp on all
of your muscles. Rest.
If you work in an Office and
it is at all possible, take a rest
with your feet higher than your
head when you first return home
in the afternoon. It will make
the dinner hour much more
pleasant.
If you would like to have my
exercises for relaxing, send a
stamped, self-addressed, envelope
to Josephine Lowman and your
request for Leaf1et No. "a, in care

Modern
Marriage
Some Parents
Want Their
Money Back
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

It costs money to rear chill
dren. send them to school, feed
them and pay their doctor bills.
People who marry expect their
children to cost them money.
It's part of the price Of the hap
pinesS that marriage should
bring, and all intelligent parents
pay it gladly. But did you know
there are some who actually
want their money back? What
do you think Of Joyce's father?
Listen to her:
I'm % years old. making q
good living, and want to marry.
For the past two years ! have
been engaged to q young man
in the Navy. He will be coming
home this summer, and we'd like
to marry then. My difficulty
is that my father insists I must
first pay him back the money
he spent on my education. I
live with my father and mother
the latter is easy going and
doesn't have much to say. I
wanted to go through college and
my folks really couldn't afford
it, but my father put a mortgage
on the house to send me. He
says I am honor bound to pay
of this mortgage before I leave
home. I turn over most of my
pay-check to him now, but it
will be nearly three years before
he would feel that my debit
it is one-iS satisfied.
II haven't dared to tell my
fiance about this, DR.. Popenoe.
know if we married he wouldn't
be satisfied to have me con-
tinue to work merely for my
fathers benefit. I just can't see
any way out. Can you?"
When a father tries to hold
his daughter in this way 1t is
often because Of a desire to keep
her at home and dominate her.
quite as much as for financial
reasons. remember one such
case I dealt with years ago at
the American Institute of Family
Relations. The daughter wanted
to marry; father insisted she
must first repay him for her
education; she got a job and did
so; then could she marry? Not
at all. Nov. you'll have to re-
pay the $500 spent on having
your teeth Strengthened when
you we're in high school," the
father informed her.
Such outrageous treatment Is
as ineXcusably morally as it is
legally. If you assumed some
sort of definite moral obligation
to repay your father, of course
you must like up to it, Joyce.
Talk it over with your f1ance
and get him to agree that you
can continue your job for a
while and pay certain amount
each month to your father.
But, If you assumed no debt
OF honor" then ! think you'd
better leave home and run your
own affairs. Your parents should
be very anxious to see you hap
PLY married, rather than in
terfering. If they aren't willing
to consider your welfare and
happiness, you'll have to look out
for yourself, and you are entitled.
at your age, to do so.
In any case, it's time for you
to marry-if you have found the
right man. That's my idea. and.
if any father who reads this
column has a different idea. I'll
be mighty glad to hear from
him.

with the older members, the
former having received a special
invitation to attend.
More than 100 have joined the
club since last November's cleo

gifts you can give a bride is a
roast meat thermometer. Such
a thermometer is an accurate

of the thermometer will show
exactly what the temperature
of the meat is inside.

Cleaning OilcIoth

For ordinary cleaning. oilcloth
should be wiped with a damp
cloth or washed with mild soap

best to use a grit-free cleaning
powder. If the oilcloth has
stains. lemon juice or vinegar
may remove them.

tracks, the characters in "The
HappleSt Days Of Your Life" are
a lively lot.
MainStay among these is the
girls school principal, played by
Miss Elsom. This is a headmis-
tress accustomed to obedience
and she expects it as unquestion-
ingly from the disciplinarianS OF
the boys school as from the low
est-former in her own. The whole
human species is her charge and
when she speaks it is to COM
mand, the more so in the case
of males whom she distrusts un-
til they are safely in their graves.
The breakneck tempo at which
Director Eugene O'Sullivan has
paced the farce denies Miss Ell
som and the audience the full
SAVIOR of this Miss Witchurch,
but by no means all of it.
The most consistently amusing
character in 1.-The Happiest Days
of Your Life" however, is the
boys school porter played by j.
Robert Dietz. This is a serving
man born with a whitening dis
dain for humanity, most espe-
cially for that part of it aSso-
ciated with education.
Among the other more COM
petently made parts in Olney's

Marion Sitter, the toothy ath-
letic mistress of the girls school;

teacher; Edward Finnegan's YER

ters played by Tom Carlin and

Jeanne Grain in trouble is a
sight to move the heart of any
normal man, but not when it is
the kind of plot trouble which
involves her in Dangerous
Crossing" current at the Capitol
Theater.
Not only poor Jeanne, but even
more so her producers should
have known that this one of the
vanishing room is so threadbare
that only the most exalted in
spiration could redeem it. The
inspiration achieved by every
body in the film is considerably
less than the most exalted type.
This puts Miss Grain. Michael
Rennie and the other ornamental
performers in the position of be-
having like so many bores in
stead of creating the lather of
excitement which is the screen
plays intention.
X Il
John Dickson Carr who has
rather a reputation for trapping
his characters in melodramatic
situations wrote the basic story
of Dangerous Crossing"
His setting here is a luxury
liner which Miss Grain boards on
a honeymoon journey with a
man she has married after a
four weeks acquaintance. The
ship is not out of New York har-
Dor before the new husband and
their bridal suite both have dis
appeared, and Miss Grain is
under the care of the ships med
ical staff which suspects she is
daffy.
The one person who refuses to
leap to this conclusion, of course,
is Rennie who plays the ships
doctor. Miss Grain is simply too
pretty a girl for any man in his
right mind to write off as I'M
hinged and since all the other
passengers are as healthy as
Palm Springs. the doctor can
devote his attention exclusively
to her.
Doctors are not often this
lucky, and Rennie makes the
most of it. He takes Miss Grain
dining and dancing, shuttle
boarding and swimming, and
even goes to her stateroom to
administer SedativeS. This con-
slant attendance not only re-
vealS to him that her story of
the vanishing husband might be
true, but also that she must
have millions to have a trouS-
seau like that.
The romantic affair, however
one-sided on the surface, is one
that Director Joseph N. Newman
keeps moving along even if it
does require him constantly to
turn his back on what might
have been the more interesting

If you thought the West had
been won just because Randolph
Scott finally shot his way clear
to the surf at Santa Monica, you
were mistaken. Changes have
been made in Hollywood, new
ground rules laid down. Now
Scott has to win the West all
over again in 3D., panoramic
screen, stereophonic sound gum
fighting. In 1.-THE Stranger Wore
a Cum" which boasts all these
innovations plus Technicolor,
you will find Scott starting anew,
looking like just the man for
the job.
In the new film at the Warner
and Ambassador, his take-off
point is Lawrence, Kans., which,
for him, is way down East. An
officer in the Confederate Army,
he is in Lawrence-hold on,
we're coming to a curve-as the
spy who laid the groundwork
for that bloody raid by William
Clark Quantrill's guerillas. This
raid is more of Quantrill than
Scott can stomach, but his con-
nection with it leaves him a
marked man after the war. Qn
our set there's only one war and
Quantrill is it's villain.)
Well, Scott heads for the COM
parative safety of the Arizona
