DEAR ABBY
Common Sense Lacking Here
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor
must not have a brain in her
head. She has two darling
little girls under five years
old and she let's them run
around outside naked. Not a
stitch Of clothing on!
With so much in the papers
lately about young boys and
crazy men attacking chill
dren, I think there ought to
be a law against mothers
like her.
Please print this, Abby.
You might save some little
girls life.
WORRIED.
Your neighbOr Is many
miles from me. But she Is
near enough TO you so that
you could speak to her about
1t. Perhaps the dangers you
so wisely point out never Oc-
CURED TO her. Tell her in
plain language. If she doesn't
then clOthe her children
notify the police.
DEAR ABBY: What do
you think of a mother who

who had lost heavily to Hill
at poker, fell under suspicion
and, in the course of extern
sive questioning, finally ad-
mitted to voluntary man
slaughter - a lesser crime
than murder. On this basis,
the Federal court sentenced
him to 10 years - the maxi
mum permitted for this Of
Tense.
Government investigators
were convinced that Robin
son had murdered Hill as a
result Of a gambling dispute,
but they had no legal proof
no evidence to establish de-
liberate killing, no corpus de-
licti, no witnesses. Basically,
it was the Investigators abil-
ity to awaken the suspects
own sense of guilt that got
him the ten years. But Rob-
inson persisted in his story
that he accidentally killed his
shipmate in protecting him
self from an assault by the
latter, and thereby avoided
a murder conviction.
The episode is startlingly
reminiscent of the famous
Russian novel Crime and
Punishment by Dostoyevski,
in which a detective plays
upon the murderer's con-
science until the latter cracks
and confesses, even though
aware there is not enough
extrinsic proof to convict him.

one night to chaperOne their
childfens' parties.
DEAR ABBY: We have a
small business in the coun-
try. Our son, who is l6, helps
us. He has his friends out
on week-ends and we don't
mind that. Except for this
one boy.
He helps himself to candy
and pop. His parents are
having trouble with him and
they think he is safe here. He
ruShes around trying to help
customers with his shirt tail
out and a silly straw hat with
flowers.
I don't mind him staying
a couple of days at a time,
but I don't want him here all
summer. Our boy doesn't
work very well when he has
company. We hate to hurt
his parents feelings, but how
can we get rid of him?
MOTHER.
Tell the boys parents that
you enjoy having their son
for a few days, but when he
stays longer he keeps your
son from working. Either
make it plain that you don't
intend to provide their boy
with a permanent stamping
ground or prepare to have
him all summer.

ing to the diaper service in
dustry there are many ways
of preventing undue rivalry.
For example, here is a letter
from one mother on the sub
ject:
After I'd told 3-year-old
Joan she was going to have
a baby brother or sister, I
saw to it that she spent a
lot of time with a neighbours
baby.
She watched the mother
battle the baby, feed him,
dress him. She was even al
lowed to hold the baby.
1t was a great experience
for her and when our baby
came, she seemed to take it
in stride. She enjoyed playing
house" with me and the
baby, and by being in on the
act, showed no resentment
whatever of her little BROTH

ALL 1T SEEMS to take is
a little foresight, patience,
and common sense. Trouble
is, most parents just hope
for the best without doing
anything about it.

and has often mentioned the
beautiful, wealthy, talented
girls he could have married.
I have made up my mind
that I will never fight back
on her level. No disrespectful
word has ever passed my lips,
but I do feel that my huS-
band ought to take my part
just once. He has never said
anything to his mother when
she talks like that.
Jack K.-Half the time !
don't even know when Eve
Ign is being hurt or insulted.
She tells me about it AFTER
ward and I didn't even hear
the thing she's talking about.
After a visit from or to my
mother, Evelyn is grouchy for
days and she sometimes has
crying fits. AS a result we've
cut down on the visits. I once
asked my mother to be nice
to Evelyn and she flew up in
the air and insisted she is
always nice.
/ can't stand pickering,
and I don't want to start a
teud. That's what would hap
pen If I started shooting my
mouth off. I think it best just
to ignore any nasty talk.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Evelyn has set herself the
right rule in her decision to
never speak a diSreSpectful
word to her motherin- law.
She is wrong when she wants
her husband to speak the
diSreSpectful words for her.
This young woman should
recognize that her problem
is with herself and not her
mothr-in-law. If Evelyn felt
confident of herself, she
wouldn't give her mother-in-
laws foolish words a second
thought. She would accept
them for what they are-bit-
ter jabberings of an unhappy
woman.
Nothing that either Evelyn
or Jack says indicates in any
way that he is dissatisfied
with his choice of a wife.
When his mother says he
could have done better, she
is merely giving vent to her
bitterness that he ever left
her.
Unfortunately, Evelyn is
an easy target for any woman
who wants to take pot shots
at her. When she squirms
her mother-in-law has the
gloomy satisfaction of know
ing she has drawn blood from
a hated rival.
Since Evelyn is so much in
need of reinsurance and has
suffered so much under her
mother-in-law's attacks, we
think it would not hurt for
Jack to sometime announce
to his mother, II have found
the best wife in all the world
and wouldn't exchange her
for any millionairess glamor
girl"

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
Is there really any direct,
specific relationship between
ulcer of the stomach and the
emotions? I have heard fire.
quently that there is. Is there
any scientific evidence taking
it out of the realm of hear
say? Mrs. L. G.
EVEN DOCTORS who are
not psychosomatic minded
will agree that the stomach
can be the victim of ones
emotions.
For example, on direct OBJ
servation of the ulcer patient
it is found that there is an
increase of acid secretion in
the stomach, more vigorous
contractions, and blanching
of the inner lining of the
stomach when there are
heightened emotional states
caused by hostility, resent
ment, anxiety and fear. In
other words, emotional stress
can be the beginning point as
we'll as the aggravation factor
in already existing ulcer.
We believe that the same
emotional factors that in
crease the secretion of the
stomach glands and acidity,
also increase the mechanical
irritation and interfere with
the circulation, causing the
small ulcerous lesion to de-
velop-and later to become
larger.
I believe I quoted DR.. j. C.
Yaskin some time ago: 1T
would seem that peptic ulcers
occur in individuals whose
makeup may be character
lied by rigidly, over-con-
scientiouSneSS, and even in
tolerance. in individuals who
are overly honest and metic-
ulous, usually dynamic and
often aggressive"
Treatment: Special bland
diets, antispaSmodic drugs,
sedatives and anti-acids.
However, in view of what
I have said about the emo
tional components, it is evil
dent that the ulcer patient
needs also to straighten out
his emotional problems.

criminals" to firing squads last
winter and spring.
There was a hint, too, that
Cuba's short-lived freedom of the
press, restored by Castro after
years Of Batista censorship, might
again be lost. Mr.. Castro lashed
out savagely at two Havana news
papers-Avance and Diario de
