Report to Parents
Campaign Launched to Aid
Problems Of UnWedMothers
By Dr.. Mortho M. Eliot
Chief. ChiIdren's Bureau

The Nation recently has been
shocked by two tragedies involv-
ing unwed mothers.
In each case, the fact that the
girl was pregnant was one Of the
strongest motivating factors in
her death.
What heartrending sadness
this must have brought to fam
lilies and friends alike.
In the wake of these tragedies,
the National Association for
Services to Unmarried Mothers
has launched a Nationwide cam
paign to get increased under
standing Of this problem, and
to expand services to unwed
mothers.
Ohio was the scene of one of
the tragedies and all Cleveland
agencies which give service to
unmarried parents and their
children are cooperating in the
national associations drive.
The campaign is StreSSing the
fact that almost half of all un-
wed mothers are under 81 and a
large number of them are teen
ayers, still in school. It also is
pointing out that pregnancy out
Of wedlock is almost a symptom
of deep emotional trouble.
Those who are sponsoring the
campaign believe that the public,
for the most part, lacks adequate
information about available serv-
ices for unwed mothers.
In Cleveland. a pamphlet. list
ing all available services. is being
prepared by the Case Work
Council of the Welfare Fedora
tion. It will be distributed to
lawyers, doctors, ministers and
school officials, those groups Of
persons who are most likely to
come in contact with an unwed
mother. It will also be avail
able in other ways.
Many unwed mothers GER
tainly are in desperate need of
help from outside their families.
A social agency, where such a
mother knows her story can be
told in confidence. can give her
the counsel she needs when her

Dress We'll
On Limited
Budget
By Edword Lawrence

This column is dedicated to the
proposition that a man should
and can dress In good style with
out bankrupting himself and
making the wife and little ones
q county charge. Nor need he
devote hours to studying FASH
ion news color charts and pic
lures Of clean-cut youths model
ing size 40 regulars.
What's the secret Of dressing
well on a limited budget? The
secret consists Of three elements.
and you've got to savvy at least
q little of each. II you keep them
in mind whether you buy a dollar
tie or a hundred-dollar suit. no
silver-plated style monger can
point the finger of sartorial scorn
your way.
Here, with half an eye on the
accompanying picture, are the
three elements we mean:
l. Good taste. If you're born
with it, your worries are over.
But it can be acquired, too, to
varying degrees. If|you lack con-
fidence in your taste, a good gen.
eral rule is to tend to the con-
servative.
If still timid, size up a lot of
the men you deal with or see
around town. First pick out the
ones you think you'd want to
dress like, then out of these
select the men around your own
height, build and age and use
them for your general guides.
Whatever you wear, wear it
with confidence. Remember we
said good taste can be acquired.
Thereu come a day when you
trust your judgment enough to
sally out in a brand-new style
with head erect and chin high.
But in the initial and middle
stages, don't be ashamed to
initiate; there are plenty of us
in the same boat.
2. Versatility. We're always
harping on this. Each item you
add to your wardrobe should be
suitable for wearing with one or
more pieces already there. If
all your suits and shirts are in
the blue-to-gray area, obviously
you don't buy a green tie with
brown stripes. A solid-color suit,
ditto in a few ties, some white
shirts-these are the backbone
OF your wardrobe, because with
them you can wear stripes,
plaids or patterns of any kind.
3. Durability. BY this we mean
not only buying fabrics that will
last, but also color and style
that won't die with the immedi-
ate season. Every one knows
that after holidays, such as
Easter, many stores run pretty
fair sales to clear their shelves
and racks for next seasons
wares. So why not take ad-
vantage of a post-Easter sale
and buy a spring suit or other
merchandise that can also be
worn in the fall?
This procedure is especially
recommended this year, with so
many spring suits in dark shades.

the heater on high for a few
hours. Very casually, I strolled
over to the heater and filpped

That would be the sensible
thing to do" she commented as

blood circulating.
Late the next afternoon l got
around to remembering that the
heater was on the blink and
placed call to Prince Bros. In
three minutes flat, Oliver Prince
was az the office and l went
with him to the house to watch
him repair my heater and make
my life a bit warmer if nothing
else. | knew my wife had been
faced with a cold house for sew

no water seeping into the tank.
