THANK YOU" NOTE.

Mrs. I. A. p. AIerandrial

MRS. A. p, Alexandria,
Many thanks to all the gen..
erous readers who shared with
me their recipes for bar cook
les, both through RICH and in
letters to me. I appreciate and
very much enjoy all of them.
I also have been asked to
submit the recipe for Congo
Squares, for which we all owe
a debt of gratitude to Mrs.
H. w. G. of Washington. It
was she who originally sub
mitted this recipe, and I'm
glad to offer it in answer to
those who requested it of me.

quarters cups sifted flour, 21a
teaspoons baking powder, u
teaspoon salt, 23 up shortening.

By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

What does your husband do
with his socks?
That sounds like one of the
most trivial questions that could
be asked, doesn't it? But it's
answered continually by women
who have made an issue of it.
In the last few years at least
100 women have complained to
me, in all seriousness, that their
husbands left socks on the floor
and they want to learn how they
can reform these particular hus-
bands.
NV friend Lester A. Kirken-
dali, professor of family life edu-
cation at oregon State College,
tells me the same question was
put to him by a young married
woman in one of his classes.
MY husband always leaves his
socks on the floor and haven't
been able to break him OF that
habit. What would you do?"
DR.. Kirkendall referred the
question to the whole group and
got a dozen answers such as:
Throw them in the waste
basket and let him fish them out
of there"
Pour perfume on them"
mail them to the floor"
Finally one girl suggested, in
a tone of disgust, well, for the
land sakes! Socks aren't very
heavy. Pick 'em up"
The complaining wife ex-
ploded, But he's got no right to
expect me to pick up his things"
There you area struggle over
rights. The husband thinks he
has a right to leave his socks on
the floor, the wife thinks she has
q right to force him to stop do
ing so, and they are locked in q
struggle as meaningless as that
described in the old question.
what happens when an irresist-
ible blond meets an immovable
bachelor?"
And what a subject to quarrel
about! Yet a hundred women
have brought 1t to me indig-
nantly, and I have no doubt that
a thousand other women, as they
read this column, are also boil

Modern Marriage
The Big Burning Issue:
Who Picks Up the Socks?

ing with indignation to think
how unreasonable husbands are
about picking up their own
socks!
It's almost unbelievable; but a
good deal of the conflict in mar
riage is centered on issues that
are equally worthless. We
haven't yet answered the ques-
ton, what are we going to do
about it? I'll offer two alterna-
tiveS.
/. If a couple have no chill
dren. they may go out to dinner
at a superior restaurant once a
month and after a good meal
take up the order of business,
meaning such little complaints
as this on both sides. The hus-
band agrees not to leave his
socks on the floor, if the wife
will agree to stop leaving her
stockings in the wash basin
when he has to shave in a hurry
or whatever compromise may
be advantageous to both sides.
2. If you have children, hold
family council. write me, with
stamped, self-addreSsed envelope,
for free reprint telling how to
handle family councils.) Let
every one vote; and maybe the
children will agree to pick up
some of their own things, too.
But don't have the kind of fam
lily council illustrated in the car
toon where the father turns on
his son and. Snarls, IF you want
to take part in our family coun-
ellis you'll have to learn to keep
your mouth shut like I do"

Endorsement Sought
For Auditorium Here
To Honor Veterans

The American Legion's
District department is push
ing a resolution to indorse
construction in Washington

a national memorial audi

The resolution, one of a
