DEAR ABBY .

my husband is SO but he tells
his girl friend that he is IS.
He doesn't take me any place
because he is afraid his girl
friend will see him. He has told
her that I am not his wife,
but his mothers sister. If his
girl friend knew the truth she
wouldn't look at him. Do you

needed q new place in which

This is a day when many
people are auto conscious. Those
who cannot attend the big
Indianapolis 800" are apt to
have one ear cooked to the
radio. following the progress
of the race and wondering if
the track record of l35 miles
an hour will be broken.
One claim for the Indianap-
oils spectacle which we hear
from pro-racing quarters every
year is that the speedway is a
great trial ground for new and
better automotive engineering.
This may be so. However, it
is worthy of note that more and
more experts in the automotive-
highway field seem to be trying
to shift public attention away
from the evolution Of engineer
ing per Sc and toward the
evolution Of trafic and high
way codes. Until the latter
catch up with the former, they
say. very few technical auto
motive breakthroughS will be
worth much. Traffic guidance
conditions and systems are
simply too archaic.

Of my life is behind me.

you. Z. N. r.
At so you still have a life

In other words, another third

reason you are depressed is
that you think that the one
third lifetime Of "old age" is
not worth living. Call it whist

years still contain more than
a fair share of sunl'"ht

ard said: I'm all for it. I'm

What did he think about life
after 40? Infinitely more salts

agonizing though charming pc
Rod of life. While l have ac-
complished a great deal before
40, I've done even better since.
The satisfactions have been

learned which things really
matter. I used to feel a dread

Robert Peterson then asked
him his formula for fitness and
vitality. He said: II have a
theory that if you like what

Unemployment and the Slump

workers union were to threat
en- q strike this spring and
force into effect a higher
wage scale which would kill
much Of the advantage
gained by the reduction Of
excise taxes. For it wouldn't
help matters any If the auto
manufacturers had to raise
their prices to offset wage
: increases. The automobile
companies have said they
would pass on to the con-
sumner any drop in excise
taxes. but they must include
in their prices any suhstan-
tial increase in wage costs.
If ever there was q time for
craftsmanship in the labor
unions, 1t is today when
America has been struggling
to absorb its highest price
levels in history.
The cure for the recession
does not lie in a general in
crease in purchasing power,
which is bound to be small so
far as the individual is con-
cerned. but in helping the
particular industries which
now are suffering severely
from unemployment. Legis-
lators on Capitol Hill are
talking about antirecession
measures tnat could conceiv-
ably result in higher rather
than lower prices Of goods
and actually diminish pur-
chasing power. While tenn
porarily improving matters,
these measures might bring
within q few months the
worst smash the American
economy has ever expert
enced.
Caution in applying RENEE
dies for unemployment is
more important right now
than succumbing to panicky
demands for broad reduc-
tons in taxes to millions Of
individuals who really do not
need them. Savings have
risen to new highs. There is
no dearth Of total purchasing
power. There is, Of course, a
noticeable fear and hesita-
ton due to what is happen
ing in q small number Of la
Dor areas. Once there are
measures taken, however, to
cure the illness Of the heavy
goods industries. the national
economy win again be on an
