fa ; e of a single indvidual. An economi- revolution which would have been discussed in solemn conferences for fifty years by cur fathers takes place during a single afternoon of 1933 It is a bewildering and topsyturvy world, in which many of the old values have ceased to have any meaning. It is a world in which news of the rise in the dollar is receiv'd with considerable annoyance by Americans whose former boast was Hie stability of their currency. It is a world in which the farmers are being told that it is reprehensible and unpatriotic to be too hard working a world ir which thrift is labeled a most unpatriotic vice. Maxims Flaunted The old copy book adages have ceased to hold. A larqe .section of til'* public has been, for some years, engaged in breaking the federal prohibition law with not the slightest twinge of remorse. Sizeable groups of quite well-thought-of persons feel that to get a divorce in the sleuthing manner indorsed by the law is most ungentlemanlv, but that a little well-bred collusion behind the judge’s back is quite legitimate. And. oddly enough, th" judge very often thinks so. too Today’s millionaire, we have come to believe, may be standing in tomorrow's breadline. The pillar of society of last week may be indicted for nefarious stock transactions next. There is precious little security Wt for any one. There are very few facts, in the shifting scene about us. which we ran trust to survive And because of that the job of parenthood has never, perhaps, been a more difficult or baffling one than It is today. Arming f'hi'dren You feel that you must give your son or daughter some kind of armor to carry on* into the world Rut tlie trouble is that you have not the remotest idea of what sort of world that is going to be. You know tlie philosophy winch was handed to you as a certain amulet in time of stress, bid you have come to distrust many portions of it yourself. And it would obviously be the rankest sort of parental hypocrisy to try to convince vour child of something you yourself have ceased to believe. It is a challenge about that here can be no shadow of a doubt it is a challenge to bring up children who will not have to lean on the old certainties the immutable facts which we have discovered to lie so shifting and changeable, after all. It requires that we give the younger generation a suppleness and an adaptability which will carry them through social changes more remarkable than any that we have known with a gallantry which former generations reversed for personal disasters and defeats. As Norman Thomas one? expressed it. "In a lifeboat there is no room for passengers." We must, above all. teach our children how to pull their own weight.

It’s simply amazing how many things combine usefulness with beauty. Dorothy Tree wears a white, pique beach hat which does just that. There is a tiny pocket in the crown tor matches and two strips of material on the brim are designed to hold cigarets. The pocket and the strips looks like novelty trimmings when Dorothy isn't carrying matches and eigarets in them.

Manners and Morals
Rrinc tour problrm* to Jan r Jordan, who mil hr lii ion wltr Ihrm hr hrr ini*rr< in ihl* column. letter* of comment alao are invited. Dear Jane Jordan—When I married. I didn't love my wife. 1 was 21 and should have known better. I don't know what possessed me. I married against my will. She proposed and I told her I wasn't mak.ng enough to keep a home. She said she would help and everything would turn out
all right. I decided never to see her again. She gave me a note and said if I didnt shed jump in the river. I laughed and showed it to my boss. telling him In a joking manner that I would tell her to go ahead and do it. He advised me not
Jane Jordan
to do so. On another date. I gave in and got her a ring. I still had a cringing fear of being married. I had grown up never wanting to get married. I slid into a trap that I fought, but there was no getting away. She suggested that we live together as man and wife until we were fully prepared to go through with the ceremony. The very next day after we moved together I realized that I didn't love her and never would. I told her so and started packing my suitcase. Then I saw what she really was—a devil. Her temper shook me from head to foot. She threw and scattered my belongings and told me I was as much to blame as she. We quarreled and argu.d for ten days, when I finally consented to let her make arrangements with a pries*. We have a boy who was born eleven months after we were married. We both love him and don't like the idea of breaking up his home. We still quarrel and have heated arguments that lead to foul names and blows. My wife now admits that she does not love me. I grit my teeih and boil with anger when i think of my marriage. I can’t describe it. but it goes to a certain point and then falls into despair. What would you suggest? L. F. C. Answer—" The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." You can't get anywhere with your problem until you have assumed a more aggressive attitude toward life. By aggression I do not mean futile quarreling, but an iron determination to master a situation instead of letting it master you. For one thing, you never have learned the art of refusal. It’s much harder to say no than say yes. If you had cultivated the strength to say no and stick to it, you never would have got into this situation. You won't do any better in anew situation until you have learned to abide by your own convictions. Your wife has been the aggressor from the beginning. She has assumed the masculine role, which should have been yours You have accepted the passive, or feminine, role in permitting yourself to be pursued and captured.

Nevertheless, your outraged masculinity is strong enough to generate a violent conflict about which you do nothing definite. You won't respect yourself until you give your masculine traits a chance. In succint slang, you've got to wear the pants of the family. If you succeed in wresting the dominant role from your wife, you might not despise her so much. I do not know what change authority on your part would cause in her behavior. I do know that until you learn to assert your own strength, you wont be able to obtain your own rights, even if it comes to divorce. bob Dear Jane Jordan—l have been going with a fellow for almost two years, and the girl he used to go with is trying to turn him against me. Should I go on fighting back, or should I let the fellow decide for himself what he wants to do. or should I just turn the fellow down? I think lots of him. but I can't stand to have trouble all the time. ANXIOUS Answer—The surest way to disarm your enemy is to treat her with generosity. Possibly in this instance Ghandi's doctrine of nonresistance would work best. It is a great compliment to a young man to have two girls fighting over him. No doubt he thoroughly enjoys the situation and will prolong it as long as he can. B B B Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young girl in my teens, very much in love with a fellow who says he loves me. This evening my sister was passing his house. He was sitting on the porch Hnd she stopped to talk to him. She is jealous of me. and she told him I stepped out on him. and he believed her and turned me down. I have gone with him for nine months and worship the ground he walks on. I have done everything I could to make him love me. Please tell me what to do. TRUE LOVE. Answer—A more spirited girl would turn the boy down for listening to tale bearers, and a more spirited girl would not have to work so hard for his love.

New Gun of Light Weight Designed for Hunting of Ducks and Similar Game Em-Roe Store Shows Winchester Product Which Has Been on Market Only Since June 1. BY HELEN LINDSAY HUNTERS in Indiana who waited anxiously for Aug 1. the beginning of the open season cm squirrels, are trying out the newest invention of Winchester gunsmiths, intended for the shootinc of small game, ducks and quail. This is anew pump gun. which shoots anew three-inch 410 gauge shell. The new gun and shells are much lighter in weight than those of
earlier make. They have been on the market only since June 1, and are being shown at Em Roe s. The manufacturers of Winchester guns were pioneers in gun manufacture, dating the business from about 1860. Each gun made by them bears the "Winchester proof mark." placed on the gun only after it has been assembled and given various tests. A charge iar in excess of that for which the gun is intended is fired The gun is then inspected and gauged for flaws or strain. A test for manipulation is made by operating the gun with "dummy” cartridges, and firing it slowly and quickly. These new light weight Winchesters will be used, according to th** experts at Em-Roe's, in the coming season for duck hunting, which opens Oct. 16. a a a Other Items for Hunters
INTERESTING merchandise offered at Em-Roe's for the duck season includes wooden and rubber decoys, made so cleverly that they lute the wild mallards from the air to the hunter's range The deroys are made in pairs; the drake is painted with green head, tail and wing tips, while the hen is much duller in appearance. "Duck calls" are made of hard rubber composition, much in the shat** of the duck’s bill. After a little practice the hunter is able to imitate the call of the mallard duck so perfectly as to call the ducks to the decoys. Similar calls are also manufactured for hunters of crows Many duck hungers around Indianapolis raise their own decoys; tame mallard ducks, which they place in the water fastened by a foot to iron anchors. The anchors are dropped into the water The tame ducks soon learn the game, and call to the wild ducks as they fly over water. The duck anchors are on sale also at Em-Roes. 808 B B U Gauntlet Style Rules Glares NEW glove fashions for late summer wear are practically all in gauntlet style. In addition to the black, brown and white satin glovps shown. H. P. Wasson & Cos. offers black moire gauntlets, and white ones of the same material, with black stitching and black moire tnrrwmng on. the gauntlet cuffs Cire. which is much like the stove pipe ribbon material used for hat trimmings, has been used also in the shiny black gloves popular for the late summer season. In the more conservative gloves, suedes and kids are being shown. bb>a a b a Attire for Campus Ready WOOLENS and heavy crepes will be worn by many of the college girls this fall. Rink's is showing nttrac ive junior models in the best fall colors. Leading in these are eel grey and brown. One eel grey dress of rabbit cloth is a youthful tailored model, made with a deep pointed yoke, soft rolled tailored collar, and long sleeves, trimmed with tiny cloth covered buttons at the wrists. A red silk tie is used with this dress, and a red leather belt goes under the point of the yoke at the front of tin* waist, and fastens in back with a buckle. The tray shoulder is seen on a brown crepe dress, which has a white satin scarf tie. Brown and orange crepe plaid lias been used for another junior dress, especially suitable for campus wear. It is marie with deep pleated epaulets at the shoulders, and has a small tailored tie and collar of white pique. a a B a a a Names or Monograms Embroidered AS a special feature this week. H. P Wasson A’ Cos. is offering underwear embroidered with the customers name or monogram The work is done by Mrs. Anna Adams, representative of H T Mendelsohn of New York.
