Manners and Morals 1 . - BY JANE JORDAN-

The problem under discussion in the first letter should bring letters from men. They are invited to air their opinions in this column. The best letters will be published. "Dear Jane Jordan—Why doesn’t the woman who is working realize that she meets different people all day long and has enjoyment while at work, whereas her husband who is temporarily out of work has no chance to do things that would give a little pleasure? If women only would realize what a nervous strain it is to go from place to place in search of employment only to be refused,

th e y would be glad to meet their husband’s friends. They would know that a man likes to enjoy different ideas which he can not find while staying at home. My wife is working. When I was working she wanted to go to the show and to dances and would be mad if I was

too tired and refused. But since the shoe is on the other foot she says that she is too tired to play and dance all night when she has to work the next day. When I was employed, all of my salary was turned over to my wife to do with as she pleased. I am not complaining, for she was a good manager. But now, if I ask for a dollar, her answer is, “What did you do with the money I gave you list week?” Probably it went for one Saturday Evening Post and one Literary Digest, and the rest for transportation while looking for work. I don’t smoke or drink. My wife is making as much salary as I did, so it’s not economy that makes her refuse. Here’s hoping the wives will wake up and adjust their lives to compare with what the men did when their situations were reversed. I would like to know what other men think that have been out of employment through no fault of their own. WONDERING. Answer—One of the most striking by-products of the depression is the reversal of the positions of many men and women. In some families it is now the woman who is the provider and the man who is economically dependent. Now it is the woman who is too tired to make merry in the evening and the man who is bored with staying home all day. Apparently women are more adaptable than men. They've shown more ingenuity in dealing with adversity. When they couldn’t succeed at one job, they switched to another. If no mazuma was forthcoming from an office job, they turned their hands to sewing, selling or baking cookies. The average man was not so versatile in turning himself into a jack of all trades. The loss of the work to which he had become accustomed was a baffling experience to which he could not adjust. Lightening changes were not for him. and many jobs were barred to him because they were an insult to his masculine dignity. Wcmen appear to have taken to a change of work like ducks to water. They abandoned the slavery of dust rag and dish pan with delight. But like all slaves, turned into masters they have become worse oppressors than their husbands were when they occupied the position of dominance. They are loathe to provide spending money for the spouse and grind their heels m his neck at every opportunity. Instead of learning something about each other's problems from their reversed experiences, married pairs are as tolerant as ever. Men resent the masculinity of women, and women resent the femininity of men. The trouble lies in the mate selfishness of all humanity. At such times it seems that the ills of life are incurable. a Dear Jane Jordan For two years I have been going with a young man who wishes to marry me if things ever break right in business again for young men without inherited money or pull m the business world. The trouble with the young man is that he is depressed and moody and miserable all the time because his good job is gone and he can not have the home and future he wants. This is a miserable state of affairs for me. too. but I am the one who has to stand all his black moods. I love him, I think, and If we could marry now and forget all this bad time. Id like a shot. But I have to work at my own job. After a miserable evening spent with him. I’m so upset I can’t do justice to my work. Os course he isn’t a failure; it's just bad luck. Two years of this has about used up my courage. My family says I haven't any right to mistreat a man who's been as good to me as he has. Well, is it mis-

treating him if I break it off before we both wear out and say nasty things to each other? Or am I what my family calls me, a quitter who can't go through poverty and misfortune without whining? JANE. Answer —It seems to me that the young man is more of a quitter than you are. You’ve solved your problem and he hasn’t. People who make constant demands for sympathy simply drain their friends dry in time. No one is more exhausting than the person who continually depends on his friends to bolster up his down-trodden ego. Almost anybody can function in fair weather, but it takes courage of a high order to weather a storm. The young man has passed through a cruical test, to be sure, but he has not stood it like a soldier and a gentleman. He acts more like an abused child than a self-sufficient adult. A depressed mood is nearly always the result of some form of hate. The boy hates everything that has contributed to his discomfort including his own inadequacy. All the energy that goes into hating could be turned into some sort of solution to the problem. He’s had a tough break but his attitude is not conducive to the overcoming of obstacles. I think you are right to try to help him help himself. But if he insists on pitying himself so profoundly instead of meeting the problem with courage, you could hardly do otherwise than refuse to bear the burden of his gloom any longer. Club to Hear Report on Tax Research Work Legislative committee of the Indianapolis branch of the American Asssociation of University Women will meet at 7 tonight at Central Y. W. C. A.

is a moral cringing, a tendency to blame tardiness or a mishap on any one or anything else than themselves. “I find this tendency growing,” she added. “Either that or else it becomes more of a habit with older children. I used to teach in the grades and now I have high school students. I find these older children very quick with alibis.” “But isn’t it natural?” I countered. “As they get older they are likely to have more responsibility at home. More things are likely to interfere with school work. Besides as life opens up they have more interests outside of school life.” “Yes, I know that,” she acknowledged, “but there is something about it I don’t like. When anything happens to interfere with lessons or to make them late, they really think that almost anything else Is to blame but themselves. If they do it in school they must be doing it at home. When they graduate into business they will blame the world if they don’t succeed. It shows a weakening, I think. No matter what happens they will shirk the responsibility on to something else.” I got her point. And as I look back on my own experience in the schoolroom it is doubly proved. On those I have been able to check since, the ne’er—o-wells of today were mostly the chronic, “It-wasn’t-my-fault’s” of old. I believe mothers of little children might be on guard about this matter. Probably they unwittingly begin it themselves. They not only excuse their children to other people, but if a baby touches a hot stove they are likely to say, “Bad stove to hurt Harry.” If he bites his tongue on a lollypop, they throw the candy over the fence with a malediction, “Nasty candy to hurt little Johnny that way.” Perhaps they even stamp it under foot. Little events of early childhood count for so much, Some children are blamed too much for things they can not help. Others too little. But the sooner a child learns that he must bear the responsibility of his own action, or inaction, the better, I think, for his future. We all have to learn that, “Misdeeds often return to their author.” Excuses are the most snythetic of palliatives. Club to Give Dinner Members and friends of the Mc r Kinley Club will attend a dinner at 6:30 tonight at the clubhouse, 2217 East Michigan street.

Wear Ever Aluminum to Be Offered in State-Wide Sale Beginning Thursday Manufacturers First to Make Cooking Utensils of Metal in Pure State; Several New Devices Available. BY HELEN LINDSAY ALUMINUM cooking utensils were introduced about thirty-five years ago. The first commercially sold utensils, to be made of virgin metal, which meanu in the layman’s language, metal which is all aluminum, were made by the manufacturers of W,ear Ever aluminum. Each year since introduction of these utensils their makers have added to the collection of new cooking utensils —unusual pans for various specific uses. Water - les cooking, which has gained popularity within the past three or four ye 1 rs. was introduced by Wear Ever manufacturers about thirty years ago. One of the new kettles to be shown in the annual sale, which will open Thursday, and continue for two months, is a five-quart steamer and waterless cooker. It serves a three-fold purpose, since it can be used for steaming, roasting, and as a cereal cooker. The pan is made with an

inner pan, which can be used for double boiling, or for the cooking of vegetables, while meat is cooked in the lower compartment. Other new utensils to be shown in the sale displays will be anew teakettle of heavy aluminum, with standard bakelite handle, designed with a finger grip; bellbottom percolaters, from two to twelve cup capacity, and anew French frying basket and pan in threequart size. The fryer is made with a flat, wide bottom, and slightly flaring sides, to give quicker heating radiation, and the basket is of fine mesh woven wire. tt tt tt Novel Cooker for Asparagus to Be Shown AN asparagus cooker also will be shown. It is a deep, narrow kettle, of double-boiler construction. The inner pan is perforated, to allow steaming of

asparagus, and other delicate vegetables. Asparagus is placed in the steam pan resting on the cut ends. This arrangement allows the tough ends to boil, while the tender tips of the aspbragus, which need little cooking, are cooked only by steam. All of the new utensils originated by Wear Ever manufacturers are tested by Miss Margaret Mitchell, in the research kitchen maintained by the factory. Miss Mitchell works in co-operation with the Good Housekeeping Institute and cooking departments of the Delinator, Ladies’ Home Journal and other women’s magazines. Recently, Wear Ever aluminum has been selected by various state institutions for cooking purposes. Anew metal tableware, known as 4-S metal, has been perfected, and is being used in institutions. The State Soldiers’ home in Lafayette has purchased a complete set for table service. The metal has a smooth, satiry finish, and is said to be as hard as steel. The Methodist hospital uses Wear Ever steam jacketed kettles for waterless cooking; the L. S. Ayres tearoom kitchen is equipped with new steam seal waterless cooking kettles for roasting, and within the past two months the State School for the Deaf and the Richmond State hospital have been equipped completely with Wear Ever utensils. tt u tt New Cans Reduce Milk Bacteria Menace ACCORDING to the Indiana University School of Medicine, where utensils of this metal were purchased recently, the bacteria problem in the handling of milk has been practically solved by aluminum milk cans. Dairymen using these cans have estimated that the bacteria count in milk is reduced by two-thirds. Within the past few months, the federal government has equipped a number of camps with Wear Ever utensils. In Illinois alone, more than $50,000 worth were purchased. During the two months’ sale, a contest for window displays will be held among the stores showing the new Wear Ever aluminum. The sale, which is a state-wide one, and will be duplicated throughout the country, will be held in the L. S. Ayres store, the William H. Block Company, six of the Vonnegut Hardware Company stores, and in the Macßeth hardware store.
