her, he would not want to
live there alone. and all Of
her children have their own

Formerly Mrs. May had
made plans to leave Hillwood
to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation, but a
year ago she decided that she
would prefer the Smithson-
ian to be custodian of the
beautiful works she has de-
voted a lifetime to collecting.
Some years ago she desig-
mated the Smithsonian as
the eventual recipient of her
historic American Indian
collection, one of the finest
in the country. These items,
or part of them, are kept on
view in the huge, central
cottage" at her unique
Camp Topridge in the
Adirondacks.
And last month she pre-
sented to the Smithsonian
the magnificent dia mon d
necklace Napoleon 1 gave to
Empress Marie Louise in
1911 when their son was
born. The necklace, that
comprises in the weight of
its bigger diamonds alone
275 carats and now reposes
in the case with the Hope
diamond, may eventually be
displayed in a case in Hill
wood.
Hillwood is a head-swim-
ming gift, especially when
you realize that the English
man James Smithson who
founded the museum "for
the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men," did
so back in 1929 with a
legacy of only $550,000, al
though that was a good-sized
fortune at that time.

Nash Seeks
More Indian
Development

u. S. Indian Commissioner
Philleo Nash recently called upon
state and local governments to in
crease their responsibilities to-
ward Indi ans.
Speaking to the annual meeting
of the Governors Interstate Indi-
an Council, Nash said the future
of the Indians depends upon sac
rifice.
Progress requires sacrifice"
he said.
"The sacrifice we ask of Indi an
individuals is to give up short-run
convenience for long-term Salts
faction.
The sacrifice we ask of state
and local government is to take
on an increasing measure of re-
sponsibility for including Ameri-
can lndi ans in their regular state
programs.
1.-The sacrifice we are prepared
to make in the Bureau of Indian
Affairs is to develop more pro-
grams that are developmental ra-
Their than custodial; to share re-
sponsibility with states and with
tribes. rather than to assert it
paternai stically: and above all to
develop improved community un-
derstanding and acceptance of new
programs to fit new situations.
Nash toured the San Carlos
Apache Reservation near Phoenix
and told tribal leaders they should
seek county and state help in i'm
proving and developing reservation
roads.
He said a good road system
would open reservations to tour
iSt and industrial use.
In the end, he said, such work
also would add UNNECESSARILY to
the economic growth of the state.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: L

I prefer a doctor to answer
my problem because of its
physical and emotional as
poets.
My husband-to-be does not
know my real age. am con-
sidering marrying a man
nine years my junior. He is
Il and I'm 80. Most people
take us both to be IS. Can a
marriage be successful with
this much difference in age?
Right now we appear to be
comparable mentally and
physically, but will this be
the case when I'm 40 and he
is 81, or when he is Al and
I am so? Do women mature
more rapidly than men dur
ing these years or vice versa?
And what sort of differences
might I expect both men
tally and physically?-

/ THINK any marriage
which starts off with the big
lie is like a strong swimmer
who begins a marathon swim
with only a pound weight
tied around his neck. At first
1t seems inconsequential, but
after a while, it may become
so unbearable that success
turns into failure.
On one way or another, age
will out. Why not come out
with it now? If the groom
runs from the altar because
Of the age difference, you're
better off having him do so
now than a few years after
marriage.
I have known similar ex-
amples in which the husband
was much younger than his
wife. But they knew it from
the beginning and they made
happy marriages. I recall one
in which the age difference
was concealed and led to re-
sentiment and divorce later
on, although there may have
been other reasons.
Besides, how can you tell
whether you will be younger
or older at so than your hus-
band at Al? ! know one
woman of 48 who has six
children and could pass for
the elder sister of her Oldest
child. Her husband? He is 43
and looks and acts like an
old man.
The calendar is not in
variably the answer to the
physical or emotional be-
havior of an individual.
Therefore, don't make your
decision alone on the fear
that you will feel and look
much older. However, as I
said earlier, your conscience
inevitably will destroy your
happy relationship if you go
to bed every night and get
up every morning wondering
if your husband is suspicious

that you are older than you
said you are.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Sci
ence has made such wonder

many conditions, yet there
are so many little things that
bedevil the human body. My
case in point is the bunion.
Thousands of women imp
