Breakdown Is Defense Act, Jane Believes \\ife Is Advised to View Situation With Clear Eyes. Hrlt# to Jane Jordan for new light on your problems. She will answer your letters In this column. Dear Jane Jordan—My husband and I were happy before the depression. We had two lovely children and were buying a home when he lost his job. About that time my father died, leaving my mother

. destitute, and she I came to live with I us. My husband I finally got a job I at less than half I his former salary I and since mother was at home to take care of the children we all [ decided that it was better for me to work than lose the home we had started to buy. This arrange-

ment hasn't worked out as well as we expected, as mother is nervous and easily upset by the children. She thinks she is too old to work as hard in the house as she does, and blames my husband for not making enough so that I can stay home and help her. I have a hard job downtown but when I get home I can’t rest. There are a thousand things to do that mother leaves for me. The children are full of complaints abou their school work and their grandmother, and my husband puts on his hat and walks out to find peace. The worst of it is that my health is beginning to nil. I can’t sleep at night and it affects my work in the daytime. I have a bad case of nerves from jverwork and the doctor says I’m headed for a nervous breakdown. Have you anything to suggest? JITTERS. Answer —A nervous breakdown often is blamed on overwork but such a diagnosis seldom is correct. The collapse may come from bad planning of work. As in your case, when concentration on work crowds out the other major satisfactions of life, illness may follow, but it is not the work itself so much as lack of balance that causes an upset. Nebndy consciously plans to have a nervous breakdown. Nevertheless, if you study the situation, you will find that the breakdown is the attempt of the body to solve a situation which the intelligence has failed to conquer. It constitutes a sort of psychological retreat from tough reality and gives the individual an excuse to fail. In Japan when a general loses a battle he commits suicide in the ancient rite of hara-kiri to avoid the loss of face. A nervous breakdown is not this drastic but it serves the same purpose. An individual, defeated in the battle for existence, saves his face by illness. If you can’t sleep at night nobody can blame you for not doing good work in the daytime. You haven’t the courage to tell your selfish family that they aren’t carrying their share of the load, but you can get sick and force them to consider you. The first thing for you to do is view the situation with clear eyes and see this psychological strategy behind your encroaching illness. Then make up your mind that you can reach the same objective by more direct and less destructive methods. The nervous breakdown is a defense measure adopted by an overburdened personality, but it isn’t worth the effort required to keep it up. It takes much less energy in the long run and less toll out of human happiness and health to fight your problems out on a common-sense basis. I can not tell you exactly how to | rearrange your life so that a nervous collapse will not be necessary to control your unco-operative family, but I do know that if each one of your leaner;; would carry his share of the responsibility instead of dumping it on you, illness would not be necessary for your self-pro-tection.

Good to Eat

NOW if you want a really nice dinner, buy some haddock filets, about l 1 j pounds, which will serve four and cost you only 25 cents. Then you fix them up with capers, sour cream, onions, etc., and produce one of the finest fish dinners I know. It’s an Austrian recipe called fish with capers or FISCH MIT KAPERN FOR 4 1' -> pounds of any white fish. 3 large onions. 6 tablespoons sour cream Juice of small lemon 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 2 tablespoons capers Parsley, salt, pepper. Brown the onions in a frying pan in hot fat, add the pieces of fish cut in 2-inch lengths. Season with salt and pepper, add the sour cream and finally the lemon juice, the grated lemon peel, a little chopped parsley and the capers. Mix well nnd serve as soon as the fish is tender. Do net break the fish. Simply perfect. With this recipe for fish serve boiled potatoes, small ones, of course, and a sharp cucumoer salad. And while I’m speaking of sour cream, which you certainly must learn to use in cooking if you already don’t—do try this delicious lettuce salad with sour cream. This is a typically Russian recipe. LETTUCE SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM Wash a head of. lettuce in cold water and dry well. Sprinkle freely with salt and let it stand in a cold place for half an hour. Put in a salad bowl and pour this dressing over it: Mash the yolk of one hard-boiled egg with 1 i teaspoon of sugar, a little salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and then add teaspoon of sour cream gradually, stirring constantly. I urge those of you who shuddet at the thought of sour cream in cookery to try it first hot, such as the above recipe for fish. More conversions are made to the cause of sour cream by eating it in dishes in which it appears as a hot sauce than any other way. Once you have had it, I am absolutely convinced you’ll always enjoy it.

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor IN a season when pastel colors are trying to rear their dainty heads as an influence for bridal gowns, Indianapolis brides still cling to traditional ivory satin as their first choice for the triumphal march. We, too, believe that nothing elicits glamour quite so much as a May bride in chiselled satin and trailing tulle. The chic French maid in the picture drinks in the beauty of her “Madamoiselle.” who is just about to become a “Madame” and swears her

allegiance anew! There will doubtless be another admirer waiting at the altar who will breathe a promise of “now and forever” when he catches sight of this vision of young loveliness. There is a simplicity, a cleaner sweep of motion to the silhouette of this modern wedding gown that breaks away from the time-worn, rigid tradition of other years. >t tt n NOTE the slightly squared effect of the shirred sleeves that are long and fitted, the graceful collar that fastens at the open back, with

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary “'T'HEY can’t put you in jail for that,” a lawyer is reported to have told his client, who was gazing out from behind prison bars. “But they have,” was the answer. The bridge counterpart of this old story is the situation in which a player, seeing a hand, pompously announces, “You can’t bid a slam on that!” Even if the material on which a slam Did has been reached is not sufficient to guarantee its fulfillment, there is no reason why declarer should not do the best with what he has and make his contract, if it is humanly possible. Perhaps South did bid too much when he jumped to six after a one-over-one response, and then a simple preference bid by his partner. If he was optimistic in the bidding, he should have been accurate in the play, as success or failure rested on his choice of a discard on the ace of hearts, on West's opening lead.

Tiny clusters of pearl orange blossoms adorn each side of the headdress and the yards and yards of snow white, billowy tulle trail along with the satin train, in proverbial bridal manner. Massed white lilies are the last elegant touch . . . and the bride stands ready to take the final dramatic step.

May Day Fete Is to Depict Rural Scenes Butler Pageant Set for Saturday at Fairview Campus Garden. Rural life in old England is to be featured in the traditional May Day pageant at Butler University Saturday afternoon. Volney Hampton, director, announced that music, dancing, pagienatry and pantomime will be combined in the one-hour presentation, beginning at 3. to create an atmosphere both medieval and rustic. The pageant is to present an early morning scene in the country. Rural sounds are to be heard, such as cocks crowing, animals and milk maids’ songs. People are to gather on the grounds to hold singing, dancing and dramatic try-outs to select a May Queen. One girl is to be chosen, dressed in a queen’s robe and set upon a rough throne. Youths will bring in two maypoles from the forest and the queen is to supervise the hanging of ribbons on them. A horn in the distance is to announce the strolling players. The players are to arrive and present the pageant, “Robin Hood and the Proud Potter” for the country folk. Maypole Dance Asa climax to the play, th queen’s throne is to be placed on a pageant wagon and the people are to give songs and dances in front of her, ending with a maypole dance. The entire pageant is to be performed by a cast of 100 students. It will be presented out-of-doors in the gardens of the Fairview campus. Several hundred guests are expected to attend. Laurence Kryter is to have the title role, “Robin Hood,” in the play and Thelma Roller, a senior and member of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, is to be the May Queen. Other members of the pageant cast will be Joseph Nesbit as Little John; David Thompson, Will Scarlock; Walter Noffke, Proud Potter; Robert Emhardt, Sheriff of Nottingham; Dorothea Craft, the sheriff’s wife, and William Macy, Much. Depict Historic Periods Mr. Hampton announced that no attempt is to be made to make the pageant historically correct in regard to any one period but that ideas from several periods will be brought together in the production. Costumes, prepared by the university home economics department, and an unusual treatment of rural customs in old England is to produce a colorful presentation, Mr. Hampton said. Members of the staff directing the pageant, in addition to Mr. Hampton, include Miss Louise Schulmeyer, dancing; Donald C. Gilley, singing; Miss Kathryn Journey, costumes; Miss Catherine Thompson, ; archery; and Ellis Carroll, band i music.
