Fumous Fables
By E. E. Edaor

FINE-During his playing
days with the New York
Giants, Casey Stengel was
an incorrigible prankster.
His unpredictable behavior
tried the patience of man
ager John McGraw, who
sometimes pounced on him
even when he was blameless.
One morning, before a
game, Stengel stopped at a
barber shop. He was there
for two hours. getting a hair
cut, shave and shampoo.
Following instructions, the
barber generously applied
the witch hazel, the after
shave lotion and the hair
tonic.
In the dugout, Stengel's
teammates took one whiff
and moved to the other
corner of the bench. When
he took his position in the
outfield, the catcher could
smell him from home
plate.
In the second inning,
after he had struck out,
Casey got into a furious ar
gument with the umpire,
and was banished. On his
way to the club house, he
met McGraw, whose face
was flushed with anger.
THAT little tiff will cost
you $780," said the manager.
"$200!" protested Stengel.
What for-having a hassle
with an umpire?"
"You know darn well what
for" growled McGraw. "You
reek from alcohol"

Who will be the next Chief OF
Police in Tabor City? Even if we
don't know the answer it still re-
mains a good question and one
that has been booted about since
Chief Watson resigned in sur
prise move last week.
The logical answer 10 the CUES
ton seems to be the appointment
of Officer Ted Watts to the posi-
ton. He is now serving a two
weeks temporary appointment
while the Board OF Commissioners
accept applications for the job.
Two of the members of the
Board of Commissioners, w. w.
Woody and Phil Hughes, voted to
appoint Officer Watts to the vac
cancy; however, they were over
ruled by the negative votes cast
by the three remaining Commits
Sioners.
Perhaps those opposed have
sound reasons for wanting to bring
a Chief in from outside of town:
however, it seems only fair TO
give the local officer an oppOrtun-
ity to fill the office. Even if they
made it temporary appointment
(for more than two weeks it
would give the Commissioners and
the people of Tabor City the
chance to see what kind of Chief
he would be. He has worked with
the police force for the past six
and one-half years and has done

You, the people. are entitled to

it may be hard at first he'll

Money problems are SO indi-
vidual that no perfect solution
exists. Each family must handle
its finances according to needs
and desires. One definite rule.
however, can be given. Except
in illness, or other special cir
cumstances, a wife's earnings
should not be used to lessen the
husbands responsibilities. He
must always know that he's the
breadwinner, and that income
other, than his is marked for
something special, like a house,
new furniture, O. car, trip, edu-.
cation, and the like. Trouble
begins when a wife's salary goes
into the general household fund
covering food, clothing and home
upkeep.
This usually leaves the man of
the house with a. surplus that
too easily finds its way into the
wrong channels. The worst angle
of a dual income is that fire.
quently a couple come to depend
on it so much that it can't be
sacrificed even to raise a family.
Working wives do a wonderful
job helping their husbands get
started. but they shouldn't be
depended upon for permanent
support.

Modern Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

There is no infallible rule for
a manageable woman to follow
in order to meet eligible men.
But there are some good ele-
mentary ones. She has to go
where men are, of course, but
it must be in places where in
Productions are possible. And,
having met men, she has to
know what to do next, how to
make favorable impression
and, quite important how to
make an acquaintance wear well,
perhaps permanently. ] can't
guarantee Frances a husband,
but I'll try to help her meet
some prospects. She writes me:
"I read in a magazine article
that you are helping girls to
find husbands, DR.. Popenoe. You
help them to improve their
personalities. I suppose every
body could stand some improve
ment, but that's not, my real
problem. People tell me have
very nice personality. What
I need is to meet men, but there
aren't any where I work. I'm q
long way from my own home and
haven't found any men at
church. I'm up against a blank
wall"
Many girls feel that way,
Frances, and SO out of every 100
are wrong. Actually, few girls
are so situated that they don't
or can't meet any men. The
problem is largely in their own
personalities. Let's lay down
few general principles. BIZ
/. You not only have to go
where men are. but where you
can meet men. There's not much
point in going to q baseball
game merely because there are
thousand men in the bleachers.
You have no opportunity to
get introductions. Find a small
group that attracts single men.
Find a group to which the same
men come back regularly week
after week. A folk dance group.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: What is
the perfect way to handle money
when both husband and wife
work? I married at 18 (nearly
80 years ago.. and my husband
was 20. He had no trade, so
made very little money but we
both worked and as time went
on he was promoted until he
now has a fine position.
I worked until two years ago.
when my health began to fail
and I felt his salary was suffi-
Gent to take care of us. How
ever, since my salary ceased, he
never offers me money. I have
to give a detailed account of
how I spend every penny I ask
for and am not permitted to
charge things unless I have the
money to pay for them. OF
course, I have no money of my
own since every cent ! earned
went into household expenses
or his bank account. I love my
husband dearly, but I do feel
he. should be willing to pay my
way now. DOUBTING.
ANSWER: When q man has
been free of all financial respon-
sibility to his wife for some %
years, it's bound to be difficult
to make him aware that the
situation has changed. In fact,
1t will be difficult, almost to the
point of being impossible. A
problem Of readjustment faces
you. and even at the cost of some
diSagreeable moments I think
you'd better make it. You must
insist that you need money for
certain things and that your
requirements are just a drop in
the bucket compared to your
past earnings. Your husband
