Wife Faces Problem in Holding Job BY MARTHA LEE There's no hedging about it, the problem of being a working wife takes the inside track these days for presenting the most complicated angles. Not only complicated, but very often diametrically opposed. So much can be said in favor of the wives who work. And you only have to read this column occasionally to see how much can be said against them. From an economic standpoint there are two kinds of working wives. Those who are a help and those who are a drag. The second class includes wives who are not specially skilled, who are doing work w’hich pays them very little and probably leaves nothing after car fares, lunches and incidentals are taken care of. These wives can not care for their homes properly. Nor can they afford, with the money they earn, to pay someone else to keep it for them. They are economic drags. There are the other wives, whose earnings help to maintain a standard of living for the family which otherwise would be impossible. And they are economic assets for the husbands. What Part Problem Another problem confronting the working wives is just what part of their salaries should be given over to the upkeep of the home and w hat part is their own to do with as they see fit. Generally speaking, a working wife should keep up her share of the household expenses in proportion to her income and that of her husband. I have a letter from a young working wife who misses both these classes. She is, from the standards mentioned, an economic drag. But it so happens, since the unemployment situation came about, that she is an asset. Dear Miss Lee—l have been married less than a year. Durini; the past few months, mv husband and I have quarreled more than the average married couples do in ten years. He has been out of work two months. I appreciate the fact he is worried about this, but I am working every day and nayinir in almost everythtnsr I make, although it isn't much. He says I am not dome my part. If I come home with a pair of stockings or something for myself, he almost raises the roof off. He says I can do with out these things, but worklne in an office as I do. it is necessary to look halfway decent. I have worked ever since our marriage. I have read a lot of letters about natseine wives. In my case, it is lust the opposite. Even when I put fresh towels in the bathroom, he thinks the others would do a day longer and that I am bein'? extravagant. He had enough money saved when we married to oav cash for our furniture and now he throws that in mv face, saying the things are his. not mine. I believe if we separated a while, maybe things might change. Since he is not working, we are going to have to break up our home anyway. I will not accept anvthlng from his parents, and have them throw that up to me every time anything

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? Are You “Hard of Hearing” Is It necessary that as we become older we become “HARD OF HEARING”? Is this defect a natural accompaniment of old age? If so why don’t all elderly people suffer from it? Then, too, what accounts for it in younger life? To understand the manner in which the ear FUNCTIONS Is one of the most interesting studies of physiology. Who would realize that in the inner ear there is a tiny keyboard with innumerable fibres attuned to vibrate in response to different tones from the external. Certain of these vibrate in response to notes of high pitch. Others vibrate in response to notes of low pitch. The human ear is capable of recognizing about eleven thousand different pitches. There are, however. sounds which are too high and others which are too low for us to hear. This mechanism which we employ in hearing is a very delicate one. If hearing is imperfect, the difficulty may be in the external canal. Perhaps the ear drum has been injured and cannot vibrate as it should. Perhaps there are structural defects In the keyboard of the inner ear itself. It may be that it is merely a case of catarrhal deafness. There are some cases of deafness wherein permanent structral changes have occurred. Some of these are incurable. Many cases of deafness, however, can be CORRECTED thru CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS. IMPERFECT HEARING has a MECHANICAL CAUSE. When this cause is corrected, hearing is restored. It is because CHIROPRACTIC DEALS with CAUSE that it is so EFFECTIVE in this type of case. Many people do not realize that CHIROPRACTIC is successful in a wide variety of cases. This “Foremost Drugless Health System” has gained suet, astounding public favor because its BENEFITS ARE NOT confined to NERVOUS DISORDERS and SPINAL CURVATURES. We reprint below a PARTIAL LIST of the more common ailments in which it is effective. Space will not permit our covering the entire list. If the reader is interested in some condition not listed here he should consult his CHIROPRACTOR for additional information.

comes up they do not like. Do you think under the circumstances things may turn out right if we split up for a while? UNDECIDED. Things look pretty black right now, but don’t break up your home. Your husband will find work soon, and if you quarrel now about things, it would be terriffic after you went to live with his family or your own. Don’t Think of Leaving And don’t think of leaving him. Don’t you see that it would be awfully unsportsmanlike to leave him when he’s down? He is irritable because he is ashamed that you are going out every day, working, and he has nothing. And shame reacts in funny ways. With your small salary it must be awfully hard to make ends meet. And it probably does seem like an extravagance to him when you buy little things for yourself when the money is needed so badly to keep the house going. You’d feel the same way if the situation was reversed, and your husband was spending money on himself when there were so many more important things to be done with the money. Stick it out until he has a Job and you get back on your feet. Then if you still feel unhappy with him, suggest a change. But don’t dare leave him now\ Miss Hunter Wedded Miss Bessie Hunter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hunter. Edinburg, became the bride of John McCleary, Camden, Wednesday evening at the home of the Rev. C. M. Wachter, 656 North Colorado street. Mr. and Mrs. McCleary will make their home in Burlington.

! Poker Game Big Help to Matrimony BY MBS. WALTER FERGUSON At last there comes a wail from pa that deserves to be heard. A man complains that while his wife always is trotting off to a meeting of some kind he can’t even mention a poker game without getting Hail Columbia. I hereby raise my feeble voice against such domestic injustice. The time has come when women must realize that marriage without poker is tyranny. The general trend of the modern female is toward committee meetings. And it’s been my observation that the more organizations a woman belongs to herself, especially if they be of a reform, uplift or educational nature, the more likely is she to be entirely devoid of any sympathy for a man’s poker propensities. Being constantly busy with noble enterprises, she does not seem to understand these primal longings of the male. • I never have shared the general feminine antipathy to poker as a masculine diversion. Indeed, the all-night poker party, stag, is a veritable domestic life saver. It has been one of the greatest forces for the preservation of connubial bliss that the world ever has known. Nothing is as good for the average husband as a little game now and then. If he loses, so much the better. His conscience will prick him and this always tends to make him more polite, thoughtful, and generous than he would otherwise

be. A man’s conscience often is his wife's best friend. No married man ever is so amenable as on the morning after he has come sneaking in about 3 a. m.. loser in a nice sociable game, believing that he is going to get the very dickens from his wife. Imagine, then, his glad surprise when she does not mention the matter or asks casual'y whether he had a good time. That always fetches him. A man under the shock of such surprise can be so overcome with gratitude that many have been known to hand out S2O bills with grandiose gestures and go off congratulating themselves upon their skill in selecting a sensible woman. Here is a good motto for every wife’s room: A little poker now and then Is relished by the best of men.
