DEAR MISS NISEKN: I was
married four years ago. at the
age Of II, to a man eight years
my senior. I knew I wasn't in
love with him ct the time, but
I married TO get away from a
disagreeable home atmosphere.
Although my husband is good
in many ways, he pays very little
attention to me. Ever since our
marriage I've been falling in and
out of love with other men, but
now I know I have met the right
one. Should I tell my husband?
HAZEL.
ANSWER: Then what do you
expect to do? Divorce your hus-
band, marry the new crush (if
he'll have YOU'D, and continue the
merry go round? Rather a
hopeless future, isn't it? Instead.
why not settle down and act your
age which. while admittedly
young, Is old enough to insure
some common sense.
You married your husband to
suit your own convenience; GER
tainly you are morally bound to
give him a happy home. That
you are at last In love is a ques-
tionable assumption at best.
Love comes and goes too easily
for you; you have the word
sadly confused with "infatua-
ton" or ATTRACTION" To you,
falling in love is just one senti-

Why Grow
Old?
BY Josephine Lowmon

Many women pass through
change of life or menopause
with little or no difficulty. Others
may experience more fatigue
than usual or find themselves
tense or unstable emotionally.
Some women have hot flashes
which must be quite unpleasant.
These symptoms are due to q
change In the glandular system.
Until the body adjusts to this
change such experiences are not
unusual.
However. If a woman sees her
physician periodically. every
four TO six months anyway. she
can sail through this without
anxiety. Hormone therapy can
quiet the more annoying symp-
toms.
The best assurance of the
happy weathering of menopause
is to approach it without fear
and in q state Of fine health.
The actual symptoms of memo
pause may be exaggerated by
fear. 1t is amazing that so many
women are still uninformed as
to the facts of menopause. Many
Of them still think of it as the
end Of love and romance. Moth
ing could be further from the
truth. AS a matter of fact.
just the opposite is often true.
The main hazard Of memo
pause is the emotional imbalance
which some women experience.
Those who have been easy-going
and calm may suddenly find
themselves irritated over moth
ing, blue or nagging. Once you
realize why you are that way
and get what help you can from
your doctor, you can control the
situation by simply not allowing
yourself these outbursts. When
your family understands that
you are under some strain they
will be forgiving and helpful, too.
However, hormone therapy will
probably Danish this tendency.
Exercise is one of the very
best antidotes for tension. There
fore, mild exercise during this
time are a great help unless
there is some special reason for
not taking them.
The following one is easy to
do and also is flrming to the
thighs. Lie on the floor on
your back with your legs straight
and your arms resting on the
floor. Make large circles with
your right leg. knee stiff. Circle
outward. After a time make
large circles with your left leg.
Continue, alternating right and
left.
One warning about memo
pause: If you have any unusual
symptoms during this time
check with your doctor. Some
times. women ignore such symp-
toms because they think they
are a natural part of memo
pause. They can be signs Of
serious disease.
I have a leaf1et which has
been helpful to many women.

MR.. P.
ANSWER: Your young lady's
mother has a disability of the
soul that's much worse than your
slight physical handicap. Her
mind goes back to medieval days
when physical imperfections were
considered disgraceful. Thank
heaven we've come a long way
since then. The lady should be
reminded that q man, much

was elected President of the

ANSWER: At your age, you
shouldn't be too serious over any
one boy. Let your friend know
that you like him, but that you
think it's best to date other boys.
Be frank about your dating; of

'Shorkey, 79, Last Survivor
OF Great Boxing Era, Dies
BY the AssoeIoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, April IT,
Tom Sharkey. 70. barrel-chested
battler who was the last of the
prize ring greats Of the, 1905,
died today after long illness.
The 1rish-born Sharkey. who
earned about $250.000 fighting
such great heavyweights as Jim
Corbett. Bob Fitzsimmons and
Jim Jeffries, died broke-but not
forgotten.
He had been in San Francisco
City and County Hospital since
August. 1852. His friends

newSmen and followerS-chipped
IN to pay his expenses.
Doctors at San Francisco Hos
pital said Sharkey died easily
in his sleep" at 3:15 am. (6:15
am, EST. He had been ad-
mitted January 81 for the 10th
time for treatment of a heart
ailment.
His death rang down the cur
tain on a long-gone era OF
pugiliSm. It followed closely
the passing of Jeffries-Shark-
ey's greatest rival and long time
friend-who died in Los Angeles
March 3.
Sharkey, who was born in Dun
dalk, Ireland, on November 26
1873, never won a title, but he
Slugged it out with the best in
II years in the ring, starting in
1893. He used to boast that he
was "afraid of no man-none
ever made me take a backward
STEP"
The cocky battler was only 5
feet 812 and, in fighting trim,
weighed between 180 and 1855
about 80 pounds under most of
his heavyweight rivals. In 81
fights. he scored 33 knockouts
and was knocked out only once
by Fitzsimmons in 1900. Four
years before, Tom had won on an
eight-round foul by Fitz.
Great Fight With Jeffries
The same year he fought a
four-round draw with Corbett
and a three-round no-decision
exhibition with John L. Sulli-
van. In 1899, he lost a close 90
round decision to Jeffries, then
champion, and won on a ninth
round foul by Corbett.
That led to his biggest battle,
25-round title match with JET
fries at Coney Island November
3, 1899. Jeffries was S inches tall
er, 35 pounds heavier and had a
much longer reach, but Sharkey
stood up under his heaviest blows
for the full distance-getting
several ribs broken in doing it.
Tom lost another close decision.

It's about time the pitchers
union started boycotting Bobby
Young.
Most average baseball fans
probably never paid much atten-
tion to Young, who plays second
base for the St. Louis Browns.
He isn't the leagues best fielder
and he is a far cry from being
a great hitter, but the pitchers
know him. He's a spoiler.
Young specializes in running
no-hit games, particularly real
close no-hit games where one
hit can make all the difference
in the outcome.
Yesterday Billy Pierce was
battling the Browns in the Chi
cago White Sox' home opener.
After six hitlcss innings, Dick
Kokos walked to start the St.
Louis seventh but he was cut
down trying to steal. Up came
Young, a PAT left-handed hitter

Double Breaks Spell.
Nothing to worry about here,
thought the chilled gathering of
1854 which sensed the tension
that builds up during a no-hit
effort.
Then Young spanked solid
double into right-center to break
the spell. Without the thwarted
steal it might have meant a run.
AS it was, the White Sox
scored without a hit in the bot
tom of the seventh and Pierce
finished up with a 10 one-hitter.
He had to be that good because

.Masterson Bids
For Griffs' First
Win Over Ford
Boners Ruin Hopes
Of Toking Opener;
Vernon in Doehouse
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats have been rained
out, showed out, frozen out. and
they'll be bawled out by Bucky
Harris if there's any continuation
of the sleepy baseball they pro-
duced yesterday in dropping a
6-3 decision to the Yankees in
the opener.
They're hoping to stage an
immediate comeback against the
world champions today when
Walter Masterson takes the
mound against left-handed
Whitley Ford. The Mats will
have to be more alert if they
hope to convince any of the
25.112 fans who sat in on the
inaugural that they're a first
division club.
Mickey Vernon already is at
tempting to battle his way out
of the doghouse with the Mats
followers. The lean first base
man spoiled the teams most
promising moment in the third
inning when, with two out. the
bases iammed and cleanup
hitter Jackie Jensen at bat,
Mickey wandered too far from
first base and was picked off by
Catcher Yogi Berra's accurate
throw
POrterfield's Control Missing.
Vernon's costly snooze was ac-
cented when Jensen led off the
next inning with a wind-blown
double, but by that time the
customers were convinced the
Mats had blown the game. Bob
Porterfield, minus his customary
control after a weeks layof,
was battered for four runs in
the first inning, and Vernon's
blunder wrecked the Mats
chances of making a contest
of it.
President Eisenhower left
after the Yankees batted in the
second inning. His squeamish
stomach-upset by a mild case
Of food poisoning-was not aided
by activity in the first inning
when Second Baseman Wayne
Terwilliger neglected to cover
first base on a tap to Vernon.
That omission later cost a run.
Night Game Postponed.
With the Mats displaying no
tendency to get hot, cold weather
provided ample excuse for call
ing of last nights scheduled
game. That game won't be
made up until late May at the
earliest and by that time Harris
hopes the injured Gil Coan will
be back in the lineup.
Meanwhile the Mats are hop
ing to Illustrate Ford in his first
major league outing since the
1851 World Series. The young
Yankee was a sensation that sea-
son, winning nine games in the
stretch to boost New York to the
pennant. Three of those con-
quests came at the expense of
the Mats, who never have beaten
Ford.
After battling the Yankees to-
day. the Mats will face four
games with the Red Sox. They'll
invade for games tomorrow
night and Sunday, then the
clubs will switch to Boston for
morning and afternoon games
Monday.
The Mats had a moment of ex-
citement when one of them, Out
fielder Ken Wood, grabbed Gen.
Eisenhower's pre-game pitch.
