night performance of a
dreary play. In the second
act there was a scene in
which the hero. a sailor, babe
farewell to his sweetheart
before going off to sea.
Suddenly, in a burst Of
emotion, he clutched her to
him and cried:
II cannot leave! Who
could leave at a time like
this?"
Benchley leaped to his
feet.
Il could" he growled, and
proceeded to do just that.
One spring, when John
McGraw was manager of the
New York Giants, he tried
out a rookie pitcher who had
been highly recommended by
one of the scouts. After two
weeks McGraw let the rookie
go.
What happened?" asked
the scout. when I saw him
he was very effective. He got
the ball past the hitters con-
siStently."
He was over effective"
replied McGraw. "He got it
past the catchers too"

could have led to a lot of
trouble. Thanks to my
daughter, the principal was
able to put a stop to it in

Somehow it leaked out that
Greta tattled and ever since
her life at school has been
miserable. Both boys and
girls have stopped talking to
her. She wants to transfer to
a different school but I think
it will blow over soon.
Greta ST. just don't
feel that I can ever be friends
with any of those boys and
girls again after the way they
have treated me. Even the
ones who weren't involved in

when such beliefs arise from
personal experience in treat
ing heart patients for over
80 years?
And when I suggest that
alcohol in moderate amounts
is an excellent medicine for
the middle-aged and the ell
derly-I say so in spite Of
the fact that I recognize
that chronic alcoholism is
one of our most distressing
problems.
1t just happens, that in
my medical experience, I
have never made a drunkard
out of anyone past 40 whom
I advised to take an ounce
or two (no more) of liquor a
day. Thousands Of patients
have thanked me for this
bit of advice.
1t has brought comfort to
angina patients; to hyper
tensives; to arteriosclerotics;
to tension-tired businessmen

OF course, I realize the po-

alcoholism; but I recognize
alcohol's benefits, too.
AS FOR SMOKING, I

to my having said something
like, "I don't advise nom

DEAR ABBY: I am writ
ing this for all the girls in
our high school because we
all feel the same way about
it. One of our l6-year-old
junior girls ran away and
married a 17-year-old senior.
They had to announce it be-
cause she is having a baby
pretty soon.
Both the boy and the girl
are still going to school here.
We think the boy should be
allowed to go to school. But
not the girl. She brags about
what she fixes Gary for
breakfast and talks about
things that only married
women should talk about.
We think married women
don't At into high school.
Are we wrong in wanting to
have her expelled?
Please answer in the paper

treated. she lectured the
whole class and told them I
was a heroine. Afterwards
they treated me worse than
ever. The way I see 1t, I will
never be able to make friends
unless I go to another school.
My mother doesn't UNDER
stand my problems. I never
was very good friends with
anyone at this school. We
were new in the neighbor-
hood when I started here and
they never really took me
into the gang. I want to start
out in a new place. / want
to date like everyone else.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Greta says she was never
really taken into the gang"
She felt as left out Of things
before as she does now, but
now she is aware of active
I hostility. We think Greta
brought this on herself by
acting out of a desire to win
favor with someone-even If
only a teacher. Probably the
boys and girls sense this.
Greta has a fairly difficult
social problem and she'll
have to face this at any new
school. Undoubtedly. she is
afraid Of the boys and girls
of her own age. She should
be helped to recognize, that
she must get over this fear,
must stop standing in cor
ners and waiting to be taken
into the gang" She must go
out to them in a friendly
spirit.
GreCa ought 70 try doing
just that az her old school.
She should join in group &C
tivities and try not to be too
upset at being treated a little
coldly at first.
We wish to emphasize that
she did the right thing in re-
porting a serious misdeed. II
she had good friends before
that, many of them would
stand up for her now.

Now and then, when sleep
will not come, I switch on
the brass tulip lights behind
the headboard and grope for
books on the little shelf. The
light blinds me and I reach
for an aShtray and a ciga-
rette. Sometimes a book on
prayer drops into my hands
and I flip the pages, half
reading, half dreaming.
Prayer is our wireless set
to God and the exquisite
beauty of some prayers is so
touching that the words stick
in the throat. One that never
fails to move me is Elizabeth
Barrett Browning'S, written
about 1910, about a dying
baby:
Dear Lord, Dear Lord!
Thou, who didst not erst deny
The mother-joy to
Mary mild,
Blessed in the blessed Child,
Which hearkened in meek
babyhood
Her cradle-hymn, albeit used
To all that music interfused
In breasts of angels high
and good!
Oh, take not, Lord, my
babe away
Oh, take not to Thy songful
heaven
The pretty baby Thou hast
given,
Or ere that I have seen
him play
Around his fathers knees,
and known
That he knew how my love
has gone
From all the world to him.
Think, God among the
cherubim,
How 1 shall shiver every day
In Thy June sunshine,
knowing where
The grave-grass keeps it
from his fair
Still cheeks! and feel, at
every tread,
His little body which is dead
And hidden in the turfy fold,
Doth make Thy whole warm
earth a-cold!
o God, I am so young,
so young
I am not used to tears at
nights
Instead of slumber-
not to prayer
With Sobbing lips and
hands outwrung!
Thou knowest all my
prayers were
I bless thee, God, for
past delights
Thank God!' I am not used
to bear
Hard thoughts Of death.
The earth doth cover
No face from me of friend
or lover;
And must the first who
teaches me
The form of shrouds and
funerals, be
Mine own firSt-born
beloved? he
Who taught me first this
mother-love?
