FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. Z. EDGAR

PRESSURE: The Italian
composer Rossini was so lazy
that much of his work had
to be written under compul-
sion.
At one time, twenty-four
hours before the opening of
one of his operas, he still had
the overture to write. The
frantic manager of the opera
company practically had him
kidnapped and carried to an
upstairs room in his house.
There he placed four burly
guards over him, to make
certain he did not procras-
innate.
AS Rossini finished each
sheet Of music, it was tossed
out of the window to a copy
list in the courtyard. Rossini,
urged on by the guards,
worked for eighteen hours
without interruption and
completed the task. When he
came downstairs, he said to
the manager:
That was a mean trick.
1 had a good mind not to
throw those sheets out of
the window"
If you hadn't the manager
told him, the guards had
orders to throw you out"

For Wife's Security

has accumulated any wealth,
including a home, during his
marriage years should be very
sure that his wife does not
have to pay inheritance tax
on the part of it she helped
him accumulate. AS he APP
proaches retirement he

the wealth to his wife's name,
put some of it in joint own

yer will know. Both the hus-
band and wife should listen
to what the lawyer advises
on this.
10. Realism. A husband, as
he nears IS, should make no
decision-such as selling this
or buying that, living on here
or moving there-without de-
termining first what effect
the decision will have on his
wife if she is left alone.
Whatever the husbands de-
Sires in retirement are, he
has no right to satisfy them
unless they fit into a pat
tern of life that is fit for
a gray-haired widow. A wife
who doesn't like fishing de-
serves better than being
stranded for life in a fish
ing camp-because her hus-
band didn't think he would
ever die.

SOME PEOPLE can de-

This is also true of thia-

times his pulse would race,
his blood pressure woul d

For a whole his attacks re-

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Do
you advise giving female hor-
mones for the treatment of
menopause? Sincerely, Mrs.
F., Michigan.
FIRST, let's understand
one another. I hope you do
not think of the menopause
as a disease, or think that
every woman is bound to
suffer all kinds of emotional
and physical tortures. The
fact is that most women go
through this transition pc
riod without any discomforts
at all. Nevertheless, as per-
haps in your own case, there
are some women who do have
nervousness, hot flashes and
other discomforts.
Before the doctor ruShes
into prescribing hormones,
he should take time to eval-
uate the patient carefully. Is
there something in her fam
lily life that is causing the
emotional upset? Is there a
history of nervousness ex-
tending back many years be-
