WHITE BURLAP?
WAX PAN?
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe


No slavery in these days, you
say? Consider the thousands of
men and women who, through
q false sense Of duty, have per-
mitted themselves to become en-
shaved, sacrificing everything
that makes life worth living,
with no hope of emancipation
except death, just because some
dependent is supposed to need
their help.
This is utter stupidity and
cannot be condoned on any
grounds. There are few duties
to others that dictate such
sacrifices. One has an obliga-
ton, and a deep one. to helpless
parents, brothers and sisters,
and particularly to offspring, but
in most cases this obligation can
be met without running ones
life and becoming an abject Serf
to the independent.
Mrs. v. is facing such q sit
uation,. one which could result.
If she does not handle it intel
ligently, in her virtually with
drawing from satisfying and
happy life to one Of mere drab
existence. AS in so many OF
these cases, there are others who
should share Mrs. VS. response
bility but who seek to make her
the goat, so they can go their
merry way. I'm urging Mrs. v.
to revolt, and when you hear her
story think you'll agree with
me:
MY husband was killed in an
accident two months ago" she
writes. IT found, to my astonish-
ment, that the little insurance
he carried had lapsed, so I am
left with virtually nothing and
must support myself some way.
Unfortunately, we had no chill
dren.
I'm not worrying much about
being able to support myself, but
am facing q very difficult choice.
I'm 81 and my parents, who are
not yet 60. are living on a small
farm. I also have two younger
sisters, each happily married
and Of course living in their
own homes. They now prac-
tically demand that I go back
to the farm and take care OF
my parents as long as they live
which might be q quarter Of q
century. They are polite about
It but intimate plainly that I'm
hopelessly selfish il I think about
myself instead Of thinking only
Of my parents.
How about it, Ok. Popenoe?

Modern MARRIAGE
Don't Let Self Be Slave
False Sense of DUTY

Is it my duty to give up any
Independent life and devote my
self to being housekeeper for
my parents? That seems like q
great sacrifice to me. Is it one
that you think I'm duty bound
to make?"
Many women are debating a
similar question, Mrs. v. Let's
look at it from both sides.
First, your parents. They
seem to be getting along all
right at present. II they need
help in the future, all Of the
daughters can presumably chip
in. There's no emergency.
Secondly, yourself. You have
80 or 40 years ahead of you,
and ought to live them as fully
as possible. You'd give up indie
pendence to keep house for your
parents, and be left stranded
when they 60. Take the long
view. Mrs. v. Your sisters think
you should look out for your
parents because you are alone.
That's just the reason you
should look out for yourself.
There's no one else to do that
for you. Your sisters have their
husbands. They are the ones to
make some sacrifice-if any is
needed.
Prepare yourself as quickly as
possible to do something that
can support you for the next
quarter of q century. II you
own your home. you might rent
rooms. Maybe taking care Of
children. or practical nursing,
would be your line. Tell every
body you know. that you are
looking for job. Meanwhile
write for my reading list on
Spare-time jobs for women-it
might have some Immediately
disable ideas. ct will be sent
free to any reader who encloses
stamped. self-addressed en-
velope.) Whatever your inter-
eStS are, begin to cultivate them
theoretically. and get some new
ones. If your parents need extra
help in the future, let it be a
three-way deal. each of the
daughters doing a fair share.

Regarding Phoenix, Arizona:
The cost Of living is similar to
Washington az it is bascially
q tourist town. However houses
are much cheaper. We found
that it seemed best to ship
our furniture because We would
have to ship, books. dishes.
clothes. etc. which cost one
third Of the total shipping
charges and you cannot get q
good price on used furniture.
Also, furniture is higher in the
West. Few houses and apart
ments are equipped with stoves
and refrigeratorS, so take yours
by all means, II you have them.
It Is best to put pillows and
light weight clothes in drawers.
linens in heavy boxes. Do not
ship liquids or food in glass
jars. However, all other types
of food that has not been
opened or is securely packaged
can be shipped. ! put my spices
in my breadbox.
I would suggest that you
subscribe to the Phoenix Ga
zette for q month and it will
help you to become familiar
with Phoenix.
Phoenix is a clean, modern
town and is called Valley OF
the sun" The people are very
friendly and there are good
stores and the winter climate
Is ideal. The summers are
hot but due to the dryness OF
the air you survive them with
the help Of evaporative cool
ers. II you desire more in
formation contact me through
RICH.
Re yellowish white nylon
socks: This is what they say
about restoring the whiteness
to white embossed cotton ma
terial but you could try it on
the nylon to see if it works.
They say that the material
turned yellow due to heavily
chlorinated water and the So
luton was to buy some sodium

REPAIRING vAsEa
QUERIES?
(Mrs. N. AZ, Arlinetofsl

Recently I broke an orna-.

reader can suggest where /

highly and cannot replace It,.
The many recent suggestions
for travelling with small chill
dren have been very helpful.
We are planning to drive to
California in September with
q 6-month-old baby, and I
do have some questions which
I have not seen covered yet In
your column.
Generally. is it more satis-
factory to stop at hotels,
rather than motels. because Of
the extra services available.
such as meals. cribs, etc.?
Do you boil water for for
mula each day, or is it possible
to boil q weeks supply before

thermos?
I plan to use the crib mat
tress in the back seat of the
car. as suggested by one Of
your readers. What arrange:
ments for the baby's night
sleeping have been most salts
factory? I am wondering If
it would be practical to get
foam rubber pad for the play
pen to use at night. If SO how
thick should such a pad be?
Also, where might I get such
a foam pad as inexpensively as
possible?
II the weather is hot. we
would like to drive at night,
stopping to sleep during the
day. Is this satisfactory with
a small baby. or will it disturb
their routine too much? II
we followed such . schedule.
should the baby be fed his
meals during the night or dur
ing the day?
These are just q few Of the
questions ! know must occur
when travelling with q baby
for the first time. I shall be
most grateful for any sugges-
tons which might make the

Yanks Buy Miranda;
Pitchers Traded
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, June 13.-Beat-
ing the trading deadline by three
days, the Yankees today had
shortstop insurance and the
Cincinnati Redlegs two new
pitchers in a two-for-one deal
with the Chicago Cubs.
The Yanks last night pur-
chased light-hitting Willie Mi
randa from the st. Louis Browns
for about $4,000 and released
Pitcher Bob Miller to their
Kansas City farm in the Amer
lean Association.
The 27-year-old Cuban, who
has played with Washington and
the Chicago White Sox as well
as the Browns, will be used as
insurance against the injury of
Phil Rizzuto.
The Redlegs, seeking pitching
strength for some time, sent
Bubba Church to the Cubs for
Bob Kelly. right-hander, and
Fred Baczewski, rookie southpaw,
in a straight player deal.
Church, obtained from the
Phillies in May, 1852, had a 3-3
record this year. Kelly's only
decision was a defeat. Baczew-
ski has appeared in nine games
as a reliever without having a
won or lost record.

Cleveland's Bobby Feller, sell

tremendous task of trying to
stop them from winning 16
straight.
Under normal conditions Feller
isn't the pitcher you would pick
to beat the Yanks, especially
when they are in a winning mood.
Even when he was at his best,
he never completely solved the
New Yorkers. They're the only
outfit in the league with a life
time edge over him, having
beaten Bob 36 times in IS de-
ciSionS.
But conditions aren't normal
in the American League The
Yankees not only are threaten
ing to run off and hide, they've
already done it from at least six
of the seven other clubs.
Only Cleveland has much
chance - barring a complete
Yankee collapse. Before last
nights AZ loss, AL Lopez, Cleve-
land manager. pointed out that
his club trailed by 712 games
considerably later last season
and then climbed up to first. But
AL conveniently omitted that the
Indians didn't win.
TOday's Game a Big One.
Today's game has to be the
big one. The Indians are 712
games behind and they have two
more coming up with New York
tomorrow. The season is third
over. Since nobody else is beat
ing the Yankees, Cleveland can't
afford 10 let this series slip by
without gaining some ground.
The Indians haven't been hit
ting recently and last night was
no exception. Their two runs
were homers, by Dale Mitchell
and Hank Majeski, but they got
only four other Safeties. The
Yanks, as usual, had one big

Harvard's Triumph
Over Yale Boosts
Regatta Chances
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June
13.-Harvard's big crew looked
like it had been shot out of a
cannon as it zoomed away from
the starting mark just before
dark yesterday and went on to
rock Yale while scoring by about
3 lengths.
Thus, it frightened its chances
against Navy's Olympic cham
pionship crew in next Saturdays
intercollegiate regatta on Lake
Onondaga at Syracuse, N. Y.
Everybody knew this Harvard
boat was speedy. But hardly
anybody expected it to "fly" over
the calm Thames River the way
it did in this 88th annual re-
newal of Americas only 4-mile
crew race.
Sure. Harvard was the pre-race
favorite, yet Coaches Harvey
Love of Harvard and Jim Rath-
schmidt of Yale expected a close
one. AS it turned out, Harvard's
time of 20:09 was the third
fastest upstream race in the his
tory of this ancient regatta
which dates back to 1852. Yale
finished in 1920.
Yale's only consolation came
In a thrilling freshmen race
which the Blue oarsmen won by
less than half of a length with
a spectacular stretch drive after
trailing most of the way. The
times: Yale, 9:43; Harvard,
9:44.5.
AS expected, Harvard's junior
varsity was too powerful for
Yale, winning going away by
two and three-quarter lengths
in 9:46 against the losers 1854.
The frosh and javee races were
over the two-mile course.
In the big race. Harvard shot
to a deck lead in the first 100
yards. pushed it up to a length
at the half mile, and as high as
nearly four lengths with one mile
to go. Yale rallied to close the
advantage somewhat as the
crews pushed into the finish line.

to his eighth victory.
Brooklyn blew an early three
