Universal Speculation"

I listened to President Eisenhower's
"fireside" chat on the state of affairs.
My only comment is-if you don't
have something to say. don't make
speech! And-who is hySterical?
Garland Goodwin.
This thought came to me as listened
to our President as he sought to calm
the fears Of his people:
America afraid! Since when has a
truly Christian nation yielded to fear?
Can it be that today America stands in
the shoes Of the Israelites. Of old as
they faced the boastful heather giant.
Goliath and his mighty host?
Where is the humble but fearless
David who will inspire us and turn
the boosted material power of the
H-bomb into mustard seed Of faith

Modern Marriage
Course in Homennoking
Should Be Given at Home

They didn't know how to alter
their own clothes, didn't know
how to make home repairs,
didn't know how to buy. One
Connecticut wife said. when I
told the. grocer I wouldn't buy
his lettuce because it was too
hard he replied. Lady. that's
cabbage"
OF course. I don't mean to
say that men know 50 much
more. You remember the story
Of the bride, picking up q head
Of lettuce and exclaiming, II bet
this is Just chuck full Of
vitamtns!"
"Oh, no, ma'am," the sales
man treasured her. There may
be few on it but you can easily
wash 'em on"
Most Of these wives said
If they had it to do over
again. they would learn more
about home-making before they
started. Some girls seem to have
the idea (because they haven't
tried IT'D that homemaking now
adays requires no knowledge or
effort. It's possible to depend
too much on gadgets and pack
ages. They save time: but can
you use that time profitably
enough to pay for 1t? One study
showed that serving frozen vege-
tables took only one-fourth as
much time as preparing fresh
ones, but cost two-thirds more.
II the time you save is a good
Investment. then save that time.
II you use 1t only to follow the
soap operas, maybe you'd better
prepare fresh vegetables and put
the money you save into some
other part of the budget.
This is the summer to give
your girls a real education, Mrs.
NICK. Make q game Of it-an in
door picnic! Let them get as
many .up-to- -date ideas as pos
sible,. try them out, and see
which ones are really worth
while. Their husbands will bless
you a few years from now.

By Dr. Paul Popenoe

Girls learn q great deal in
school that will help them to
have o fuller and more salts
factory life. But the big thing
for most girls (since they are
headed for marriage) is home
making. Some schools teach a
little Of this, but there is one
place where their lessons can
best be put to practical use and
their knowledge rounded out
their own homes. g.
The mother who realizes that,
by teaching her daughter to be
q good wife, she is giving her
the greatest possible insurance
against marital tragedy Is q wise
woman indeed. I have q letter
from Mrs. NICK. and some ad-
vice for her:
1--WE have two girls In high
school. one q freshman now and
the other q junior. and we don't
know how to keep them profit
ably busy this summer. In q
recent column you suggested
that they 60 to summer camp
We do hope to send them of
with the Camp Fire Girls. but
this will be for only q week. How
about the other II weeks ahead
of US? It's almost impossible
for young girls like this to get
jobs during the vacation, and
we don't know how to keep them
busy and happy" Il
Better start right at home
Mrs. Nick, and let them take
over the job Of running the
home. They could handle at
least 95 per cent Of it. to their
great advantage and yours. and
it would be a better start for
marriage than a lot Of other jobs
they might take.
The fact is that a lot of city
girls go into marriage with next
to no preparation for the job
that confronts them. A survey of
100 city and suburban house.
holds found that only 1870 OF
the wives thought themselves
good housekeepers, and 1919
good cooks, at the time of mar
riage. Only a few knew how to
do a washing. Half of them ad-
mitted they couldn't have told
the difference between q wash
ing machine and a pressure
cooker on the day after they
went down the middle aisle.

way in his five-length victory.
There is little doubt that Hia.
leah's roomy new clubhouse -
which resembles Laurel's in quite
a few respects-has been the
biggest single factor in the sue
cess of the current meeting. Be-
fore today's racing, the mutuel
play for 80 days was up So per
cent over last year, while the
attendance showed a gain Of
3.6 per cent. In the past, many
stayed away from Hialeah on
the biggest racing days because
of the congestion. It doesn't
seem to bother folks now.
Only an hour or SO before the
running of the Widener, in which
he had the mount on Royal Bay
Gem, Kenny Church got the
news that he had been suspended
for 10 days as a result of his
careless tactics on Rare Art in
yesterdays ninth race. Careless
or not, Church won by a length
and half with Rare Art, who
paid a fat $3.50 mutuel.
In the turf race that preceded
the Widener, a new mile-and-
an-eighth record of 1:494s for
the grass course was established
by the Sanford Stud Farms
Mackville, who beat of Brown
Booter by half length in long.

metis. The old record of 1:50H

warm praise from Owner Brady
for his front-running job. the
New Yorker saying he had never
seen a better ride. AS a matter
of fact. Hickman rode Land
locked once before-in the
American Derby at Washington

Landlocked set all the pace
there, just as he did today, but
The Dancer pulled away easily
in the stretch and beat the New
Jersey star by two lengths.
Race Lacks Big Thrill.
] Except for the shock to the
favorite players, the Widener
was devoid Of any big thrill.
Landlocked and Quiet Step just
went right to the front and
stayed there. Elixir was third for
about a mile, but the McLennan
victor tired badly and finished
18th. Andre also was close up
