NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Back in the eighteenth century, so we read. twelve guests cheerfully bunked together in the great Bed of Ware at the Crown inn. in Ware, England. It was a huge oak affair, more than ten feet square ... so famously sizable, in fact, that it’s now in a museum. We don’t know about the upholstery of this bed, but we’re sure it wasn’t much like our gently supporting coil springs and soothing evenly tufted mattresses. We take the scientific comfort of our mattresses for granted.' And now we want them smart-looking, too. And they are. No more uninteresting, drab covers on mattresses and springs. You’ll

BRING the problems that have grown out of your marriage to Jane Jordan, who is interested especially in the troubles of “double harness.” Dear Jane Jordan—After havinc been married for seventeen years. I find myself alone, without anything: of interest to do. When I married I cave up all mv old friends and didn't, try to make new ones, as I was perfectly content to spend mv time at home I do not care for parties or drinking at all. but would like to meet some ladies near mv ow'n ace who enjoy outdoor snorts, such as swimming, hiking. golf, or anything that keeps you out of doors. I would like to share an apartment or to hoard with them, anvwav so we could be together. If vou know any women between 35 and 45 years of ate who would be interested. will vou let me know? Will vou also tell me how anyone of mv ag° could go about getting a better education? I would like to take lessons in F,nclish and study so I would be able to carry on an interesting conversation on any sublect. I woud appreciate any information you would give me as to good hooks to r-ad that would he educational. I feel sometimes as if there isn't ay one else on earth as dumb as I am. M. E. H. Dear M. E. H.—May I congratulate you on your attitude toward life, which shows a marked degree of courage unusual in a woman whose accustomed mode of living suddenly has gone to pieces! The greatest mistake of women is to put all their eggs in one basket when they fall in love. They become completely so absorbed in their homes and their husbands that they are oblivious to anything else. Then, if the bottom drops out of the basket, nothing is left. Usually when this happens, especially after a woman has passed her first youth, she gives up completely. But here are you seeking new contacts, new interests, and showing a deep desire for self-improvement. I salute you! You have sufficient spirit to build anew life for yourself. I do not know any woman such as you describe, who love wholesome activities in the great out of doors and who need feminine companionship as much as you do, but no doubt there are many. I hope some of them see this letter and answer it, so that I can forward their replies to you upon receipt of your address.

Many opportunities are open in adult education. You can sign up for an English course next fall with the Indiana university exension center Evening classes are inexpensive and meet in the Indiana university extension building on East Michigan street. Meanwhile, you can get a reading list at the public library on whatever subject interests you the most. There are books on the art of conversation and other self-help vol-

'JEWEL ROBBERY’

WILL OPEN TONIGHT

William Powell and Kay Francis Are Together Again on the Talking Screen After Being Separated Two Years. WILLIAM POWELL and Kay Francis, screen stars in their own right, have been re-united after a lapse of two years and will be seen in co-starring roles of the Warner Brothers photoplay, "Jewel Robbery," which has its premiere showing at the Apollo theater tonight at 10 o'clock. All attending the final performance of "The First Year," at 9 o clock, will be invited to remain for the special showing of the new film. Powell wall be seen as a polished, debonair bandit who gracefully eludes the smartest police agents of Europe. Miss Francis is the spoiled wife of Vienna’s richest banker, whose

proud boast it is that no man can give her the thrill that anew jewel affords her. The afternoon that her doting husband is about to purchase for her a celebrated diamond, at Vienna's most exclusive jeweler's is the afternoon "The Robber" has chosen to pay the same jeweler a professional visit. Even while she is being robbed, the baroness forgets her passion for precious stones in her admiration for the aristocratic outlaw who so gallantly relieves her of her jewels, as a mere incident to the looting of the Her heart, she finds to

umes that the librarian would be glad to help you find. Read magazines and newspapers to keep in touch with current events and opinion. I predict happiness and success for you if you work at it! Dear Jane Jordan—l am a married woman, working every day and have been since I got married. My husband is working, too. He goes to one certain place and won’t take me. Says he can't enjoy himself. I don't feel that way toward him. A few days ago I asked him what he would do if I should go to this place and he was there. He said he would leave, me. Would you go and show him who 'was bluffing? A READER. Dear A Reader —Indeed not! I see no reason why he can t have one place to go alone if he wants to! You have the same privilege, even though you do not care to exercise it. It all harks back to the temperamental difference between men and women, again. Men love to be independent. They love to have something that belongs to themselves alone. They love a secret place dedicated to themselves and their interests, free from feminine invasion. Look at the way they go for secret societies and ledges, into whose secrets no woman is admitted. The woman, on the other hand, wants to share in everything. She holds nothing back herself, and resents it if her lover has secrets apart from her. She wants to penetrate avery crevice and cranny of his entire being. She is jealous of his smallest activity out of her sight. Os the two, man is the wiser. He hasn't the same capacity for losing himself in another person, and he save- himself a lot of pain by keeping his separate interests alive. So if I were you, I wouldn’t say a word about my husband's desire to shut you out of one certain place. He's not acting in a peculiar fashion at all. He's just being perfectly natural.

tresses. Very cool and soft to sleep on. An inner spring mattress is more practical, however, since it keeps its shape longer and doesn’t “mat down” as a hair mattress is apt to do. All of which is worth careful consideration when you figure up how much of your life is spent in bed. According to a table worked out by scientists, if you live a normal span of years, at 20 you have more than sixteen years of sleep ahead of you, at 40 you have ten, and at 60 you have more than three years of sleep still to put in. fCoDvrieht. 1932. bv Amos Parrish) Next: Comfortable coats for travel or semi-sports.

Dry Leader Not Worried by Opposition: Convention Opens Friday. I By XFA Sen ict SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 11.—The women who have worn the white ribbon of the W. C. T. U. since the days when Carrie Nation wrecked saloons with her trusty hatchet aren't worried about the fate of prohibition now. even in this presidential election year of 1932, when the Democratic party stands com- : mitted to repeal and the Republican party favors resubmission Convinced that prohibition has proved its worth, that the law will withstand all attacks, delegates representing a hall million women members throughout the nation ! plan no change in their strategy , when they meet In Seattle Friday j for a week's session, the fifty-eighth : annual convention of their organ- ; ization. Presiding will be Mrs. Ella A. Boole of Brooklyn. N. Y„ 74-year-old president of the organization, | who has devoted upwards of forty ; years to the fight against liquor. Not Worried by Opposition ‘'Opposition?” says Mrs. Boole. | “Prohibition always has had opposition. True, our opposition is bet- | ter organized today and it has plenty of money with which to employ highly paid publicity workers. Because their program is opposed I to the law, every step they take is I news. “On the other hand, the drys are going quietly about their business i of supporting the law and upholding j the Constitution. There isn't as { much new-s value in this sort of a program, but it is just as effective.'* Therefore, Mi's. Boole thinks her own organization has little cause to ; worry. Snubs Its Rival The Women's Christian Temper--1 a nee Union, says its veteran presij dent, does not recognize its rival, J the Women's Organization for Prohibition Reform. As an organization, this group of anti-prohibition women simply does not matter, she says. “The Women's Organization for Prohibition Reform.” she continues, “is made up, for the most part, of women who would like to get into society—and they think this is their ; chance. "Theirs is not an organization; it is simply an enrollment. All it does is get people to sign their names, and it is easy to persuade | people to sign almost any docu- | ment, as long as nothing but a sig- : nature is required. "The executive committee of this ! group can’t even speak for its constituency. That was proved when | it tried to commit the group to the i support of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It Just Exists “We look upon the Women's Organization for Prohibition Reform merely as a part of the organization against prohibition. It simply exists, that's all.” Contrasted with this group, says Mrs. Boole, is the W. C. T. U.. whose members are checked through the payment of dues. She has no reason to believe, she says, that there is any checking up on the enrollment of the Women's Organization for Prohibition Reform, either for losses by death or through changes of opinion. No Reason for Alarm In discussing increased opposition to prohibition. Mrs. Boole finds that today's prospect holds no special reason for alarm, although she does believe that it will require activity on the part of the drys to hold their ground. But she has no worries about their ability to do this. Mrs. Boole believes decidedly that the emphasis placed on the evils of prohibition by its opponents is unfair. These evils, she asserts, are the result of violation of the law. not the result of the law itself. And every violation of the law, she adds, is magnified. According to her view, far less liquor is being consumed today than before the advent of the law. Canned Grapefruit Canned grapefruit is just as appetizing as pineapples when served with meals.
