This scene in Twentieth
1Century-Fox's $4,000 900 dra-
matization Of Annemarie Sc
linko's bestseller signifies the
extent that this energetic film
company extends itself to in
sure the authenticity Of an inn
.portant motion picture pro-
perry.
The fiery Napoleonic ro-
nance is enacted by an incre-
dibly talented cast starring
Marion Brando as the ruthless
conqueror, Jean Simmons as
sDesiree7, Merle Oberon as
the notorious Josephine and
Michael Rennie as Bernadotte

Be IVORY of Envy

Envy is a common cause Of
nervousness and discomfort. Doc
tors see evidence of this in their
practice. Trying to live up to
the Joneses produces dissatisfac-
ton with ones own lot. In turn
this causes tension and family
squabbles.

conscientious man who wanted
something for his nerves He also
wondered II he could have a
prescription for sleeping pills.
You've Just got to do some
thing for me, DOCTOR" he said.

the reason for his unhappiness
II suppose, In a way, it's my
fault" he said. when we were
first married I bought my wife
anything she wanted. In those
days, I couldn't spend. much. and
she was not unreasonable in her
demands. This past year, how
ever, I don't know what's come
over her.
"She creates scenes every day
and throws our home life into
turmoil. She insists on a mink
coat and an expensive new car
It all began when she made new

Happy Outcome

I was able to convince her OF
the imminent danger. Innately,
most women win fight to preserve
their marriage. When presented
with facts they can understand.
women will forego pleasures and
endure disappointments better
than their menfolk.
In fact many men ] have

scious than their wives. They are

ture. They win not be outdone

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By DR.. PETER J. sTEiNcRoHN

If ffiend Jim buys a new movie
camera. they are unhappy until
they can call Jim and say: Il
just got one exactly like yours"
For the same reason. many a
man mortgages his salary and
savings to the hilt to buy a home
that is out Of his financial reach.
His friend Fred has a brand-new
home IN an exclusive section.
why can't II" he asks.
Then begins the long series OF
sleepless nights and tension
filled worrisome days. We doc
tors at last see these unhappy
people. They. too. come in ask
ing for something for my
nerves"
There Are No JOneses
After many years Of practice
I have come to this conclusion
There aren't any Joneses! The
only place you can really find
them is in the phone book. The
people we envy may be the ones
who look upon us as the family
named Jones.
The woman you envy who has
a mink coat and pretentious
home may envy your handsome
Igood-natured husband. The mar
you envy who has the fine cars
and clothes would trade them
for your 5-year-old jalopy II
you'd take his ulcer in the
bargain.
I suppose you may say it's easy
to wax philosophical. Neverthe-
less, I believe what I have been
saying Is true. You can't be
happy and healthy If you allow
envy to gnaw at your vitals.
Forgetting about the discon-
tent 1t brings. keep remembering
that envy and jealousy can &C.
tually impair your health. A
little down-to-earth philosophy
win help much better than pills
for your nerves.
All you need to believe is that
the Joneses are an ephemeral
family. You may think that the
Smiths are the Joneses, and all
the while Mrs. Smith may have
been looking up to you as Mrs.
Jones.

way, she Just has to be In the
middle of the crowd.
After my sons bitter expe-
rience. ! had hoped that my
daughter would be willing to take
advice and save herself from
future agony, but she is head
strong and cocksure about her
ability to handle herself.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The parents do well to take this
problem as seriously as they do,
but they should guard against
being inaccurately informed and
over-generalizing.
There Is a decided and very
important difference between
limitless steady dating and the
kind Betty describes. This does
not mean We endorse such semi
steady dating. but it weakens
Betty's confidence in her par
ents' judgment when they refuse
to acknowledge this important
degree Of difference.
Betty may be exaggerating the
importance Of this practice and
there may be girls In the class
who do not steady date at all.
But 1t Is also possible that the
parents whom Betty's parents
have talked with are a little mis-
led. Some parents like to point
to their children as good excep-
lions, even when they have no
justification.
Steady dating is not desirable
because 1t brings immature young
people too close together and de-
Iprives them Of rounded social ex-
|perience. 1t is difficult. however.
to combat a prevalent custom.
The parents would do well to
avoid any display Of disbelief in
their daughter; they should
check their information very
carefully and cautiously. and
deal with their daughter SYM
pathetically. Their leadership
has to be def, kindly and pa
tient.

In the opinion of an Aus

Offering Negroes real racial
equality or losing them to Com

The Rev. Alan Walker OF

bloodStream the feeling of racial
superiority" he said. THE
colored man is standing to his
feet, deciding who and what he
will follow.
You (Americans) haven't got
long to move beyond segregation
in attitude, custom and law.
The West hasn't a chance Of
winning to its way OF life the
mass of colored people unless il

greater conception of racial
