Women Lose bvToo Much m/ of Kindness Mary Pickford Believes Some Selfishness Would Help. BY HELEN VVELSHIMER. Tlirm Writer MOST children grow up thinking their mothers don’t like candy. They can prove it. too. they will tell you. Every time they have a bag of licorice drops or chocolate creams and pass them to their mothers, those women smile, thank them kindly, but add that they
aren’t taking any. Os course the child begins to think that his mother's sweet tooth was pulled long, long ago. But the truth of it is that those women are being unselfish, that’s all. They know that the youngster who went to the candy shop clutching a coin in a moist little hand has evalu-

a ted his purchase and knows exactly how long its flavor will last. The mothers want to be unselfish. According to Mary Pickford. such women are making a big mistake. Wives, so she says, are often too kind. She goes so far as to suggest a school where they might be taught to be reasonably selfish. All In all. it is a fairly good idea. Women. wives and mothers and office secretaries should present their demands and ask credit. Just because a man likes lemon pie and a woman doesn't is no reason at all why every pie that cones out of her oven should be lemon. If pumpkin is her favorite, why shouldn’t -the man with the citrus taste sample a pumpkin pie occasionally? Or better still—only it's more work for the woman, of course —why not bake two small pies so each can eat in peace? Few naturally Selfish Because a man w'ants to spend his vacation on a peaceful farm in the country is no reason why his wife, who is hungry for cool mountain wind or the brmy touch of salt air should devote her two weeks of relief listening to the lowing of the sheep, and droning of the bees in the clover. If the two can’t cooperate. each having half time in his chosen paradise, why can’t the wpman pack her bag and stop pouring her husband's breakfast coffee for fourteen days? But she won’t. Not the usual woman. She will worry, if she does. Worry about one of two things. Either that her husband will find someone else to pour the I amber fluid or that he will take it ! too strong or endure it too weak since she isn't there to intercede. For women naturally are unself- j ish. They adore surrendering their ‘ rights to those whom they love. And those whom they love seldom realize that the surrender is made, which is the tragedy note in the whole theme. If they do contemplate—between molasses kisses and cocoanut bars—they either reflect that she didn’t want any anyway or that the recipient of the secrifioe is permitting the sacrificer a great treat. She likes to do it. That settles everything! Each Gets Her Price Yes. Miss Pickford is right. If the women who have made themselves into something resembling j the velvet coat that Sir Walter \ Raleigh spread so England’s queen j wouldn’t get mucldy feet, would make some requests, their husbands J and children would regard them more highly. Every woman sets her own price. No man, whether he is j 7 or 17 or 37. maintains a steady I admiration for something that is his ; for the taking. Yet. the unselfishness and kindness in women make them wrap their favors and send them C. O. D. Certain women should be as kind fts ever. As considerate and loyal and understanding. But if Miss Pickford's proposed school could teach them to order creamed onions when they want them instead of the cauliflower preferred by the men whom they love, honor and. yes, obey, they would make the menu considerably more inviting.

try to locate the missing high cards, and you will be able to play the hand in double dummy fashion, as did William Parsons of the Yale University School of Law. Mr. Parsons, analyzing the hand, said: “In a case of la%, you have to look for the points in your favor and then work on them.” Ana that was true in this particular hand. An early play located the ace of clubs for him, so he went to work on that point. The bidding is given as it actually occurred at the table. West felt that his double was justified, since he had the diamonds and hearts stopped and apparently had good control of the club suit. With a singleton spade, it looked as though his partner should have that suit stopped. ttntt |7 AST’S opening lead was the douce of diamonds, which Mr. Parsons, in the North, won with the queen-. The ace of hearts was played. East discarding a spade—showing out —and warning the declarer that West had the heart suit stopped twice. A small spade then was lead and won in dummy with the ace. The declarer returned the three of clubs from dummy. West played the ten, declarer the queen, and East the deuce. This play clearly marked West with the ace of clubs. West already ; was marked with four hearts to the | jack-nine, as East had showed out of hearts. Mr. Parsons cashed his ace and king of diamonds, and then king, queen and jack of spades, | bearing down to king queen and ten ! of hearts and king of clubs in dummy. West, to retain three hearts to the I jack, was forced to bear down to the blank ace of clubs. So Mr. Parsons now led a small club, which West was forced to win with the ace, and now he had to lead away from his jack, nine, eight of hearts into dummy’s king, queen, ten. By aid of a squeeze and end play, Mr. Parsons had made his contract. ICopyright. 1934, by NEA Service, Inc.) Dance Scheduled Pre-Lenten dance will be held by the G. W. C.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Jane Jordan always is interested in your opinion of this column. Those who are for and those who are against are welcome to express themselves. Dear Jane Jordan—As I am a regular reader of your advice, naturally I was very much interested in reading all about you in Monday night’s Times. If I had
the opportunity that you have in giving advice to poor unhappy people that are foolish enough to turn to a sinner for advice, I would try to direct them in a way that would at least give them peace of mind. Your advice is not much more than a 12-year-old girl could give. I was of the opin-

ion that your employer was responsible for the way you answered your letters, but last night when I read about you in the paper where your picture with your two little boys were, I changed my mind. I am the mother of a son who is now 22 years old. and I have been like you in many things such as making him look out for himself and be able to make his own decisions, but I have encouraged him in talking things over with me when he felt he needed a reliable confidant. I always told him to fear God and never fear man, but remember the golden rule and live up to it. The reason we have so much crime today is because parents are so engrossed in their own affairs that the children turn to their evil associates for help and advice, and it often ends like the crime we are reading in the papers this week of those young boys killing the preacher. When someone writes you and speaks about God you always evade a direct answer. You are either ashamed of God or He is outside your circle of friends. Which is it? NETTIE COOK. Answer —You mistake the purpose of the column which is not to give religious instruction, but to help people look into the psychological causes of their own behavior. Those in search of religious comfort belong to the church. No one eveishas dictated or influenced my replies to correspondents. I write what I honestly believe without interference. • Possibly some children do go astray because their parents are too engrossed in their own affairs to provide a decent environment, but I believe that just as many children have been made unfit for life because their parents have been too engrossed in them. Parents exist to see that their children come to no physical harm, but not to supervise them too closely. The child who can look upon the parent as a reliable confidant who will listen sympathetically without assuming the role of preacher or policeman, has a safeguard vouchsafed to very few. a tt a Dear Jane Jordan—When I was 19 I had an affair with a boy of the same age whom I loved dearly. When I demanded that he

do the right thing by me, he left the city and I have never seen him since. I asked him to marry me simply to try him and see if he really would, because I thought him a coward from the very start. That was two years ago and now I am having dates with other fellows and have almost forgotten about this affair. I say almost because there is one thing that constantly worries me. Will I have to tell the man I marry? I am dreadfully ashamed oi it, and although I strayed from the straight and narrow, I shall never do so again. Can you help me? WORRIED. Answer—lt depends entirely upon the man you expect to marry. A sophisticated man would think nothing of your childish experience. Nor would he doubt your capacity for fidelity because of what happened. However, 1 feel obliged to tell you that ’the average man is far from capable of this viewpoint. He would be horrified and pained beyond words, and reward an honest confession with desertion. Sometimes i think that such a man wouldn’t be much loss to a girl, but I doubt if she would see it that way. She’d only feel more unworthy and inferior than ever. Therefore, I think the safest thing you can do is to keep your own counsel. Many men prefer not to be burdened by such a confession from their brides to be. They want to keep their illusions and be spared the horrid pangs of jealousy. Maybe it’s really kinder to tell the truth to the man who loves you. After all, you’re not a criminal. So long as you know in your own heart that you’re a worth while person who will not be a dead loss as a wife, you needn’t go out of your way to make him doubt it. Dear Jane Jordan—l am the mother of four grown children. While they were growing up I stayed at home and cared for them. My husband is a good worker, but he goes out a lot at nights. He goes with other women and makes big trips. He spends lots of money having good times. He has excuses that sound like the truth, but when I learn of things he does, he lies out of it and raves. I am not quarrelsome. I have lived this way almost thirty years thinking he would cease doing this way. What must I do to test his love for me? Shall I leave him or stay with him? I have plenty to eat but not much in the house or many clothes to wear. TROUBLED. Answer—Thirty years is the best test of a man’s behavior that I know. At least he thinks enough of you to keep the home going after a fashion. If you were financially independent, I would not blame you for leaving. But as it is, you can neither earn your own living without hardship or lean on your children without feeling your dependence. A woman accustomed to her own home for thirty years can not be uprooted without feeling a keen sense of loss -which haunts her like a wailing ghost. After a season of homelessness I believe you would find life less supportable than it is with your selfish husband. At least you have your own things around you, and you can fend a life apart from your husband to keep you interested. It’s a poor reward, isn’t it, for a life of self-sacrifice? It takes a philosopher to enter the evening of life with a partner who is still engaged in adolescent cavorting.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT is not necessary for American authors to go back to early pioneer and covered wagon days to get material for h truly American novel. After reading “Glass.” by Howard Stephenson, I was more convinced than ever that authors in their own lifetimes may observe facts, which will make a great novel, honestly depicting American life at a definite period. Such a novel is “Glass.” Such a novelist is Howard Stephenson, anew author, discovered by Claude Kendall, the publisher. The time of this novel is tne near past or even the near present in Ohio. The author has caught the conflict of an American farmer against the onrush of the machine age. We are concerned with George Rood, a farmer in the entire sense of the term, and we meet him first as he hurries in his horsedriven surrey at night to summon Old Doc Purdy to the bedside of his wife. But Doc has passed out with too much whisky and George had to rely upon Hannah, a Portugese woman, to see his wife, Evelyn, through the critical time of child birth. a a a GEORGE had many worries that night because natural gas had been discovered on the Karcher farm ocross the road from the Rood place and George was bitter against this unleased “hell” from the earth. The gas well cast a strange light over the Root place as the angel of death took Evelyn away forever, but left a baby boy. George blamed and cursed the gas wells for his wife’s death. For a time he even hated the little bundle of flesh which was his son. The author has caught the mental and spiritual revolt in George Rood and it is w r ith a struggle that he masters his dislike for his own son. George finally makes a vow that his son Georgia will always keep his hands on the plow and the two will fight against the demons of the earth which make good farmers suddenly rich, careless and profligate. George Rood honestly hated anything that was not created by the sweat of humans. As Georgie grew up, the father saw farm after farm become gas fields. u n THEN as the boom increased, an enormous glass works was erected on the Karcher farm and villages grew up overnight. Then hundreds of men, “foreigners of the soil,” Rood called them, went to work in the glass works. Masterfully, the author of “Glass” has painted with words the arrival of big industry next to a farm. George would not sell or lease his farm to the gas interests. He saw his farm dwindle in value as fiery furnaces absorbed something from the air. It is pathetic the way George fought against remarriage, and

Ernest Hemingway “Esquire,” magazine for men, is enlisting the writing services of many famous writers. In the February issue, Ernest Hemingway has an article, "A Paris Letter.” the only woman who could have given him happiness after the death of his wife was lost to one of the worthless Karcher boys. Here is writing that has the ring of sincerity of an O'Neill and the theater of an Ibsen. There are many mighty moments in “Glass,” mighty because the author has caught the very soul of George Rood. In the same masterful way that the author created George Rood, Georgie was created on page after page. “Glass” is character drawing that will remain in the memory of every reader. Even in defeat, George Rood had strength, in the end, the farm brings peace and quiet to the troubled and lonely old man. This is a novel that has the right to be seriously considered by the Pulitzer award committee. “Glass” sells for $2.50.

Food Value of Onion Is Like Meats High in Protein Content Lacking in Many Vegetables. BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer In many households onions are used chiefly for seasonmg. comparatively few home-makers realizing their true worth. In other words, it pays to 'know your onions” literally as well as figuratively when you are a cook. Rich in iron, onions are splendid and cheap substitute for the socalled “red meats.” This quality alone makes them a desirable addition to the menu when meat is not served. They also have the virtue of supplementing the inadequate proteins of other vegetable foods. Baking Preserves Minerals Onions when properly cooked, provide an economical and exceedingly wholesome food. They are generally considered the proper accompaniment to poultry and game, but are quite acceptable with beef, mutton and liver as well. Onions lose minerals less heavily through baking than through other methods of cooking. Try baking them in their husks, just as you would potatoes. Remove the crisp outside skin before serving, but season with salt, pepper and butter at the table. However, if not drained from the water in which they were cooked, onions can be boiled to advantage. Cook, uncovered, in a rather large proportion of rapidly boiling water. By the time they are tender the water will have cooked away and the flavor be pleasantly mild. Avoid Over-Cooking Prolonged cooking of oniona causes marked loss of flavor, leaving the cooked vegetable flat and insipid. Cooking in a steamer or pressure cooker retains all the original onion flavor and mineral content. The food value in terms of calories depends largely on the way onions are served, but it may be helpful to know that one-half cup plain cooked onions contains approximately thirteen calories of protein, six of fat and eighty-one carbohydrates. This will give you a working basis for meal planning. Possess “Protective” Element As to the vitamin content of onions, B and C are both present, C being particularly abundant. This puts them among the “protective” foods and explains the faith our grandmothers had in their healing properties. There are ever so many inviting ways to cook and serve onions. Baked, creamed, French fried, scalloped, stewed in milk, cream of onion soup, brown onion soup, scrambled eggs with onions, stuffed onions and glaced onions are nourishing dishes that are sure to please the family. Asa seasoning onions are indispensable. Soups, stews and all vegetable salads depend on the onion or seme member of its family to give them the tantalizing flavor that whets the appetite for more.
