DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: What do you
think of a woman past so
who can't resist buying
clothes? I am that woman.
I buy dresses, hats, shoes,
underwear and costume jew
elry I don't need and have
no place to wear. I'm an
ordinary woman and lead a
very ordinary life. / am mar
ried to an average man and
we aren't wealthy, but ! keep
right on buying. 1 buy things
I'd like to wear, but never
will - like big hats, shorty
pajamas, bright colored
dresses with low necklines,
Bermuda shorts and spike
heeled shoes. / have closets
full Of clothes - some still In
their original boxes - but
the next week I'm out shop
ping again. Is there some
thing the matter with me?
WONDERING.
Offhand l would say yes.
Your spending sprees are
probably symptOmatic of q
deep-rOOted emotional dis
turbance, and only a psy-
chiatrist can uprOOt it. (Ei-
Their that, or you hate your
husband and are trying to
keep him broke.)

DEAR ABBY: I am a "a
year-old divorce with a child.
My problem is Bert. I have
been going steady with him
for almost a year. ! am very
much in love with him. In
all the time I've gone with
Bert I haven't even looked
at another man. He calls
me up at work at least twice
a day, he sees me every
night and on the week ends,
too. He knows where I am
every minute. Right? Well,

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
daughter was born hyper

Is she started nervous witch
habits. She can't seem to
control them. We get her
over doing one and she starts
another. One Of my friends
told me q specialist says to
yell at them until they stop.
Yet another friend told me
her doctor said it Is better it
ignore her. ! have tried both,
and everything else I can
think of but nothing helps.
I would like your advice
A Worried Mother
YOU KEEP mentioning
what you friends say their"
doctors said, and I hear no
mention of any visit to your
own doctor with your daugh-
ter. How can their doctors
make the diagnosis without
having seen her-any more
than I can?
I can give you this advice
right off, unequivocally:
stop yelling at the unfortu-
nate child; and what is per-
haps even more important,
stop ignoring her."
She should have a complete
checkup by an understanding
family doctor or pediatrician
(child specialist). I would
want to know II she is really
supersenSitive, as you say, or
suffering from some condi-
ton which makes 1t impos-
sible for her to stop witch

bases.
OF course. the teen-ager,
with his habit Of rejecting
all plans offered for the flu
ture. may still reject the pos
sible alternatives. SO he says,
II haven't decided yet" when
asked what he is going to do
with himself. The wise par
ent will not accept this as
answer.
If you have trouble talking
to the boy-and many q par
ent allows himself to drift
into such q situation--it may
help to get another respected
adult In on the act. There
should be kindly but firm
insistence that the young
man look the future In the
face and come to a decision.
He must realize that drifting
won't get the job done-that
he must buckle down to
school, or to O job Cor both),
or make UP his mind to en-
ter military service in the
right spirit and get some
thing out Of it.
II you haze a question,

Today
In History

on this date In l776, the
Continental Congress, meet
ing in Philadelphia, formally
adopted the Declaration Of
Independence. As one of hui
man history's most far
reaching documents, the Dec
laration drafted by Thomas
jefferson absolved the 10
American colonies of all al
legiance to England.
ON THIS DATE
In 1902, the United States
Military Academy was OPEN
ed at West Point, N. Y.
In 1926, the second and
third United States Presi-
dents - John Adams and
Thomas jefferson. respec-
lively died on the same day.
In 1884, Frederick Barthol-
dis creation, the Statue Of
Liberty, was formally pre-
sented to the United States
by France.
In 1916. the Republic Of
the Philippines became an
independent nation.
In 1860, the new United
States flag, carrying SO stars,
was raised on the staff at
independence Hall in Phila-
delphia.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
"WhenSoeUer hostile GC-
OressionS require a resort
to tDdr, lDe must meet our
duty and convince the tDorId
that tUe are Just friends and
braUe enemies" - Thomas

Help from an expert tutor or

The second rejected choice
Is that Of getting q Job. Per-
haps the youth has heard
that SIS million new young
workers viii be entering the
labor market instead Of coll

Perhaps the kind Of Jobs
open to him. with his lack
Of education, are not the kind
he would like. In any case
his chances seem dim, so why
try?
His third rejection is the
military service. He doesn't
want TO be tied down.
Outsider May Help
To help get such a lad off

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor tells me I have q func-
tional murmur and not to
worry about it. He has taken
all kinds of tests (electro-
cardiograms, X-rays. fluoro-
scopic examinations) and is
considered to be quite an au-
thority on the heart. Still. I
am % and worried. Can you
commentaries. L.
ALL MURMURS are not
serious. 1t is the doctors job
to distinguish between an
organic murmur Zone due to
congenital heart disease,
rheumatic heart disease. etc.
and functional m urmurs
which do not signify actual
underlying disease.
If your doctor has said
yours is functional" you
would be wise to dismiss it
from your mind and go on
living a normal life. Other
wise you will live in needless
fear and anxiety. Perhaps
the following letter, received
today, will make you feel
better:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
read what you said about
mitral heart valve leak (mur-
mur) in q recent column. I
certainly agree with you that
all murmurs are not serious,

to live 20 years more and

said.
The hearings, originally set

Most Of the owners merely

Some farm buildings and some
