DEAR ABBY: I am writ

high school. She is a good
girl and has never run
around. She is well thought
of in school and plays in the
band. She has been going
with a boy, who is also IS,
for about a year. She told
me last night that she is two
months pregnant. This boy
is too young to get married
and too young to work. I
am a widow with other
children and don't know
where to turn for help.
Please tell me what to do.
-HEART-BROKEN
First you must meet with
the parents Of this boy. These
children are very young to
assume the responsibilities
of parenthOOd. Does your
daughter want to marry the
boy? Is 1t her intention to
keep the baby or does she
plan to give II up for adop-

clergyman. He will guide
you to the proper agencies
whose function 1t is to work
these problems out. This Is

Rich in Pride and Poverty

The Irish are rich in pride
and poverty. They starve
slowly, never asking for a
handout from other nations,
boarding a poetic culture
that cannot be eaten, giving
their men to other armies
and other flags, and export
ing the one thing they can
atford-their children.
THERE'S A TRAGIC story
in modern Ireland and. to
get it, one would have to
roam the broad streets of
Dublin, the alleys Of Water
ford. and the slums Of Black
pool lin Cork. Ireland isn't
heaven, nor will it be until
the overwhelming pride and
the abject poverty are in
balance.
The men and the women
understand hard work and
the church and little else.
The birth rate is high, but
the population declined from
6 million to 3 million in the
last century.
Still, the people are living
better than formerly. Some
have washing machines, but
no running water. For sew
eral years, a factory has been
manufacturing television sets
for export, but Ireland is only
now getting its first television
station.

the soil does not have good
surface drainage. A few cover
the lily bulbs with sand.
Those kinds Of lilies whose
bulbs consist Of loosely ar
ranged scales should be
placed on their sides so that
water will not collect be-
tween the scales.
Dutch Iris
Now is a good time to plant
the Dutch iris bulbs. Since
they have little or no land
scape value many gardeners
put them in the vegetable or
cutting gardens. These hardy
bulbs should be planted about
4 inches deep in rows 6 to 10
inches apart. Since the bulbs
are inexpensive many gar
deners in cutting the flowers
cut long stems and do not
try to save the bulbs.
Hardy AnnuoIs
We may SOW the seeds Of
such hardy ANIMALS as Nigel
la, Portulaca, larkspur, sweet
alysSum, etc., at this season.
Scatter the seed thinly in the
space where it is to grow,
since most Of the hardy an
nuals do not transplant
easily. The seed need not be
covered except as a protec-
ton against thieving mice
and birds.
Avoid Low Spots
Fill the low spots in the
lawn and flower beds to
avoid standing water.
Wind Menace
Make certain that the
canes Of climbing roses and
other shrubs are securely
fastened to their supports.
Such injuries to the climbing
roses often account for the
many cases of stem canker.

cited about the event. They
want to take over my baby
and I am afraid they'll be
fighting one another as well
as making trouble for me.
I want to have my baby
to myself but I want to have
a nurse help me during the
first weeks. My husband says
we can't afford this and be-
sides both our mothers will
be insulted because they
want to do everything for US.
George r. I honestly
don't see how we're going to
be able to pay for a nurse
and all the other things we
need for the baby. We are
in debt already and this
thing is getting US way out
Of our depth.
I can't see why Dora is so
silly about using the help Of
our mothers who are both
willing and able. Dora ad-
mits she is absolutely help
less in handling an infant.
Both mothers have been
very good to us in helping
set up our home and I think
Dora ought to be grateful.
She wouldn't have known
what to do. She's the help
less type.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
AS long as Dora perpetuates
the idea she is "the helpless
type" she will be both de-
pendent and bitterly resent
full Of her mother and
mother-in-law.
It is interesting that now,
months before the actual
birth of the baby, Dora is
convinced the two older wom-
en- want to take over my
baby" We strongly suspect
that Dora is letting her panic
get the better of her and
feels so incompetent to ham
die the baby that she would
like to foist the whole prob
lem on the two mothers.
Most young women who
have had no training feel a
little jittery about baby care,
but they learn quickly once
they have been shown some
pointers. A doctor or nurse
is the best one to give those
pointers and Dora should ask
her doctor whether q course
in infant care is being given
at some nearby hospital or
clinic. Dora should also do
some reading about infant
care so she'll have some idea
Of what to expect.
Once Dora recognizes she
is as fully capable of learning
to handle a baby as her
mother, mother-in-law and
billions Of other women, she
will not resent learning from
them or anyone else. She
will accept the fact that a
beginner is never as adept as
an experienced person, but
that a start must be made
somewhere. Dora will even
tually become just as skilled
as every other woman if she
doesn't let her panic take
. over.
If the presence of her
mother or mother in law
would make her nervous and
unhappy, she should not be
forced to tolerate them.

Light Rocks Ease
Garden Building
BY WILBUR n. YoUNGMAN
Stor GoFden Editor

rocks are neutral in reaction,
hence bring no problems Of
alkalinity or acidity to the
garden.
They are soft enough to be
chiseled, making it easy to
cut pockets in them for
planting.
The rocks are porous
enough to permit good aera-
ton for plant roots and at
the same time will absorb
and hold a certain amount Of
moisture.
This new garden material
first claimed attention Of
home landscapes when it
was demonstrated at the
California Spring Garden
and Home Show this past
spring. Already it is being
offered by leading garden
supply centers across the
country. Undoubtedly the
pleasing colors and the avail
ability are an important fea-
ture Of this newcomer. How
ever, the manageable size is
the real factor, because, al
though we certainly do not
lack rocks in this area, they
are so heavy that few can
make use of them, especially
at elevations. Big rocks that
can be handled with a mini
mum of heavy equipment
open up fresh opportunities
for rock gardenings, but on a
realistic scale.
installations locally include
those at the Marriott Motor
Hotel and those at American
University.

FAMOUS FABLES
By e. E. EDGAR

The trical manager
Charles Frohman devoted all
his energies to his work,
denying himself even a mo-
ment of leisure. Even when
she was travelling, he occu-
pied himself by reading
scripts or checking business
details.
One afternoon, when he
was to attend a rehearsal, he
was trapped in the ,theater
elevator. Thirty. minutes
passed before he managed to
release himself. When he
finally reached the stage, the
anxious director asked him
where he had been.

piled Frohman, from my
first vacation in 10 years"

Musical director Walter
Damrosch became a full
f1edged conductor while still
in his youth. Dazzled by this
early success, he began to
think that the orchestra
could not get along without
him.
One day at rehearsal, he
forgot his baton.
''IS there a spare baton
around?" he called out.
He had scarcely uttered
the words when three of the
violinists pulled out batons
from inside their coats and
handed them to him.
Sobered by this, Damrosch
never again regarded him
self as indispensable.

Rocks suitable for rock
garden construction and
other uses in the garden
should be plentiful in the
Washington area considering
the number of rock quarries
In this section. However, to
get rocks large enough for
the job. and then be able to
place them, usually involves
rather heavy equipment, in
cluding derricks and drag
lines. The bringing of light
weight rocks into this area
thus has considerable justi-
fication even though they are
shipped from California.
The lightweight rocks-in
the trade they are called
feather rocks"-average
about one-sixth the specific
gravity Of ordinary field
stone, and actually are pieces
Of lava rock from the high
country near the Tioga Pass
in Central California. They
are being quarried there in
vast quantities.
Colors run from light
shades to deep charcoal. The
variety Of form is limitless.
The rocks have a glass-like
surface on close inspection
and resemble a delicate,
close-knit honeycomb. The
rock strata was laid down as
a sort Of cellular lava foam
millions Of years ago, then
compressed into rock form in
the High Sierra. This cellular
structure is what makes for

of many ailments. 1t is here
to stay. There is no queS-
ton that the emotions exert
a powerful effect on the hu-
man body. Thousands Of
people who think they are

But I agree with some pa
tients who say that we should
be careful before saying:
Forget it. It's only your
imagination. Stop worrying"
1T is IMPORTANT that
no patients illness be labeled
as being psychosomatic until
every diagnostic avenue has
been Travelled. In other words,
we doctors should go on the
premise This patient is
really suffering. Let's make
absolutely certain that there
is nothing physical before
we label his condition 'psy-
chosomatic.'"
There will be less chance
of a wrong diagnosis if we
don't use the term as a
"wastebasket" for all COM
plants we can't Immediately
classify as organic disease.
Nevertheless, the illness of
many patients is psychoso-
matte. For example, the
patient who asked that I find
the real" cause of her head
aches, still believes that they
are due to a brain tumor.
every modern test has dis
proved this.) She will not
accept the fact that hers are
tension headaches due to
living with an alcoholic hus-
band and worrying about
where her next months rent
is coming from.
If you have seen your doc
tor and he has not made a
thorough examination, you
have good reason to question
his diagnosis of "psychoso-
matte Illness" However, if
you have had the "diagnostic
works" and he says your COM
plants are primarily on an
emotional basis, I think you
would be wise to accept such
an opinion.

Chill winds may be pro-
ducing some dorm ancy
among our shrubs but the
warm days in-between prob
ably counteract the chill.
However, as long as a severe
freeze does not come too
soon they probably will
achieve dormancy and not
suffer winter injury. We can
put up shelters which will
protect them from winter
sun and winds and that may
hasten dormancy.
1t is not too late to put in
those last several kinds of
bulbs, and the pansies may
be set out If mulched. It's
time to plant all kinds Of
deciduous trees, shrubs and
roses. They can be planted
as long as the ground is
workable.
Roses Retire Late
The leaves continue to fall
and the leaf raking job
seems never to end. The pin
oaks shed leaves all winter
and up until the buds begin
to swell in the spring. All of
the other deciduous trees
and shrubs shed their leaves
as soon as the plants achieve
dormancy. The roses seem to
be about the last to go to
sleep.
Do not let the leaves ac-
cumulate on the lawn or
they will smother the grass.
In the shrub border it is well
to scatter pieces Of brush
which will keep the leaves
from blowing away, and at
the same time prevent them
from mating to the point
where they hold too much
moisture.
Sand Below Bulbs
In planting lily bulbs it is
well to dig an extra-large
hole compared to the dia-
meter of the bulb so that a
layer Of sand can put below
the bulb. This is to insure
protection from standing
water. However, the sand will

Recently a patient said, II
wish you doctors would give up
on "psychosomatics." When
ever you're in a hole, you try
to climb out of it by saying
It's due to nerves. Why can't
a doctor find the real cause
of my headacheS?"
MANY PATIENTS get their
backs up when confronted
with the medical word "psy-
choSomatic."
A letter received today says
in part: 81 think it can cause
unhappineSs. What can be
more hopeless than to have
the three doctors, after seven
weeks of examination, tell a
patient to try to forget his
excruciating pain. The frus-
tration, the not knowing
where to turn, the weariness
with hospitals, the disillu-
sionment with doctors, the
realization that he couldn't
live long and endure such
pain may we'll have contrib
uted to the massive coronary
which the medical examiner
believed caused his death. i. -"
AS a doctor, I would be the
last to say that we are even
little gods. Being human,
we make mistakes. But, we
try to make as few as pos
sible. Patients, being human,
too, are often the first to
notice the few errors and the
last to acknowledge the many
successes.
Mind you, I am stating the
truth as I see it. Every phySi-
clan can look back on his
mistakes. Every good doctor
tries to make as few as hui
manly possible.
AS for the misdiagnosed
case of coronary disease quot
ed above, I will wager that
these same physicians have
saved hundreds of people who
thought they were suffering
only from indigestion" by
making an early diagnosis of
coronary disease. I doubt
that they received any effu-
Sive thanks for making bril-
liant diagnoses-nor did they
expect any.

the farms. No sooner do they
finish school than they emf
crate, attracted by high
wages and steady work. The
money they spend on vaca-
ton in Ireland and the
substantial remittances they
send their families account
in large part for the i'm
proved living conditions Of
those who stay"
Our people-the Bishops,
the McSwiggens, the Muir
phies-all came from Ireland
and, as far back as I can
remember, I've heard of
hard times at home" My
forebears worked the rocky
land until their hands bled,
but they would not complain
nor would they ask a favor.
There is very little risk
capital in Ireland. The Ger
mans have two big factories
humming, the British manu-
facture automobiles there,
the Americans are building
plants to make lipsticks and
chewing gum. The Irish build
few new plants. Forty per cent
Of all the people are on farms.
They have done to them
selves what Secretary Of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau
wanted to do to Germany
make an agricultural nation
in an industrial world. It
cannot compete. Each year
Ireland consumes more than
1t can sell and it is driven
deeper into poverty.
A journalist friend said to
Mr.. McEoin: This is the way
God meant people to live. We
in this country have found a
human tempo Of living. We're
doing fine" 1t is possible
that the rest of the world is
out Of step. but unless the
emerald hills and the silver
lakes can be made into a big
tourist attraction the Irish
may have found q human
tempo for dying.
THERE is PRIDE, it seems,
in not doing a job well. Slip
Shod performance is univer-
sal" a priest is quoted in the
McEoin article, "and still you
can't say it is inherent in our
character. The Irish make ex-
cellent workers abroad"
Mr.. McEoin, who has q doc
torate in philosophy from the

On the other hand, wages
are insufterably low and city
workers are not encouraged to
complain. A handsome and
ragged 12-ye&r-old boy ran

there. He was polite, aloof
and hungry. I offered him a
