Revelation of School Cheating F urnishings From Many Nations Enhance Bachelor Apartment ill Do More Harm Than Good, Jane Advises Pupil Who Saw It

Injustice Done Honest Youth Is Regr ettable, | | Jordan Admits, but Sees no Chance |! for Righting Wrong.

Have vou any ideas to add to the answers vou read in this column? Put them in a letter to Jane Jordan and start am interesting discussion!

sn n = » = = ; EAR JANE JORDAN-—Last year in my room at high school | sat next to A. He received the prize for the highest scholastic average in our group. 1 saw him cheat during the final examinations, but did not say anything

‘about it. B, who got second place, needed the money to allow him to go back to school this fall. Should I tell my teachers about this? "I feel responsible because now B will not be allowed to finish his education, and this because I allowed an undeserving cheat : to win his prize. Should I go to the principal, to my father, or to my class teacher? things right before school begins. TROUBLED.

ANSWER —How can you prove that the boy cheated? A person who makes a serious accusation against another must be backed up with incontrovertible evidence of the truth of what he is saving. Otherwise he is likely to become embroiled in a mess which benefits nobody because the truth never can be determined. The boy will deny the incident and all the judges will have to go by is your ‘word against his. You'll be surprised at the ingenious methods which a cheat can use to put his accuser in the wrong. Besides, what you relate happened a long while ago. How can you explain your long silence? It is too bad that B is the victim of such injustice but you haven't enough weapons fo fight his battle. It. is like trying to save a friend from drowning when you can’t swim. Two boys risk their lives instead of one. [Even if the principal, your father and ‘class teacher believed every word you said, there would be.many who doubted your motives and in the denial made by A , you and B would bé smirched, not benefited. If you have opportunity to watch A in the future, arrange to catch him with the goods, but do not muddy the waters with a belated accusation ,not backed up by proof.

n un n " n zn DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young country girl working in the city. A very nice young man has been paying serious attention to me. We go many Jlaces together. He takes me to dances, movies and to the homes of his friends. I have been going with him for abut six months and he never has offered to take me to his home and introduce me to his family. Is he ashamed of me? Does he think he is too good for me? He is kind and considerate in everything else. Should I sugge§t that he take me home and introduce me to his family or wait for him to suggest it? Should I risk losing him by making an issue of this or ignore it? SLIGHTED.

ANSWER—Perhaps he isn't congenial] with his family. Perhaps they are too critical of his friends and he knows that they would find fault with a Princess of the bluest blood if she showed any interest in him. Question him tactfully about his family and perhaps you can see the explanation without asking. If the young man takes you everywhere else but home I do not see how you can accuse him of being ashamed of you. . Why interrupt a pleasant situation by making an issue over an unimportant thing. If you were censidering marriage his family would not be unimportant, but as I understand it you are only good friends. JANE JORDAN. | Downey in a wagon, drawn by Nor-

TODAY IS OURS

BEGIN HERE TODAY ; Judith Howard has been engaged to Stephen Fowler for four years, She wants fo be married and keep her job in a business office but Steve will not hear of this. Judith meets Steve for lunch and they go over the familiar arguments. Judith points out that her friends, Virginia and Bob Bent, are happily married, though both have jobs. Steve refuses to be convineced. Finally Judith’ threatens to break the engagement. Judith confides in Virginia Bent. Virginia and Bob promise to drop in to see Judith that evening. Steve arrives first. His mood is tender and affectionate and Judith finds it hard to keep to her decision. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER THREE

T the sound of Virginia's voice, Judith and Steve sprang apart. “Darn!” said Steve in a low voice. “She'd naturally choose. this time to come popping in here. I'll skip along, Judith. I can see you:tomorrow.” Judith turned in the hallway. “There's no need for your running away, Steve. Please ‘stay a little while.” Stephen stayed, finding ‘it impossible to do anything else. Into the little apartment, as if on the crest of a typhoon, came Bob and Virginia Bent—with Toby Lynch. “Hel-lo, Steve!’ exclaimed Toby, extending his ‘hand. Without enthusiasm Steve shook hands with him, returning his greeting with an unenthusiastic, ‘How are you, Toby?” The two were as. unlike as possible. Steve Fowler was tall and ‘solid and thoughtful. ‘Toby was small, almost rotund, and apparently had never possessed a continuous train of thought in his’ life. mysteriously and unaccounthe managed to get along in

Virginia shot a glance toward “You and Steve-didn’t plan { on going out, did you? We thought we'd just drop in for a five-cornered chat. That thing Bob .is holding behind him isn’t his hat, its a bottle of cocktails.”

yr a:

ND what cocktails,” mentioned Toby. “The Bent Special!” With an effort Judith tried to project herself into a lighter mood. She Reld ‘out her hand for Bob's container of cocktails. “I'll ehll them in the refrigerator a while. . « . There are cigarets on the little table there.” Steve followed her into the kitchenet. “What's the idea of encouraging them to stay?” he whispered. “You know I wanted to talk to you.” : Not looking at, him, she opened the refrigerator door and set the bottle of cocktails against the icy pipes “I cant s®hd them away,” she said quietly. “And I think everything was clear, wasn’t it, even before they came?” “You mean we're finished?” ‘I mean were friends. And that's all.” : Steve was about to speak when Toby's raucous voice carried into the kitchenet. “If you two don’t get away from that refrigerator those cocktails will have no chance at all to chill!” » = » ESIGNEDLY, Steve returned : with Judith to the other room.

ed with ill concealed contempt. He had never cared much for Lynch,

(M. B. WJ) ’

Steve had said nothing to Judith about the story that was drifting around. It was one of those stories which a man will hide from the women of his acquaintance, no matter what he thinks of the protagonist of the story. _ Toby Lynch was supposed to have persuaded a girl to share his apartment with him in lieu of marriage. Part of the story was that they were very much in love, and unable to marry—but this failed to condone the matter in Steve Fowler's mind. He had never seen Toby Lynch in the company of a young woman, and this lent-credence to the story rather than not. For Toby was a congenial soul who, under ordinary circumstances, would find an escort wherever he went. Steve had never discussed: the story with Judith, but the rumor had persisted, drifting from one to another, and steadily gaining proportions with each new telling.

® " #

S Steve looked at Toby now, a question formed in his mind: In all the. time they have known Toby, why had he never invited them to his apartment? He had visited the Bents’ countless .evenings; and often, like this, he would join them in a visit to Judith and Steve. Yet none had ever been asked to be Toby's guest. Indeed, not even Bob Bent knew just where Toby Lynch lived. The: conversation, chilled a little

by Steve's silence and Judith’s obvi-.

ous preoccupation, went rather badly. went to the kitchenet and brought out his cocktails. They warmed the loquacious Toby into a running fire of comment, and succeeded in mellowing the Bents. But Steve drank little, and Judith always limited herself to cne cocktail. Yet Virginia made no move to leave, and Judith realized that she intended to keep herself and Toby and Bob there until Steve rowler had departed. Plainly Virginia wasn’t going to leave Judith .alone with him again. At length she set down her glass and got up. Steve looked relieved —but he was to suffer disappointment. “Judith,” she said, “let's you and I go over to my apartment and scare up some sandwiches. These: males look hungry, and I can tell they're dying to discuss the baseball scores.” Toby grinned at Bob. fect wife,” he complimented. “How does a mug like you manage to keep her?” # = = TRGINIA met this with a pleasant laugh, and steered Judith out the door. When they Had gone, Bob: said, “I don’t keep her, Toby. She keeps herself. That's one of the advantages of having a wife who's self-supporting. She knows she can leave any time she wants to. So she doesn’t leave, and she’s perfectly happy.” Toby laughed. He turned to Steve speculatively. “I've been expecting you and Judith to take the leap any day now, Steve.” Thoughtfully Steve twisted his pipe in fingers. “Well . . . you see, 1 don’t agree with Bob exactly. I suppose Judith and I could marry if I were willing to have her keep her job. But I'm not. I've always. had an idea that a man should support his wife.” : “I had that idea, too,” Bob said, grinning. “But Virginia convinced me that I was wrong. I've always been a weak-willed person!”

the solution to modern conditions. Or at least, it’s been the solution for the last five or six years. ‘This guy Dan Cupid never heard of a depression. He just goes raround raising the devil as if there were no such thing as a salary cut. I think Bob’s dead right, Steve.” He paused and looked at Fowler. “You can carry pride too far, you know.” “It’s not entirely a matter of pride,” Steve told him. . “I've never believed a married woman should work—not when there are thousands of single girls looking for jobs and not finding them.”

“That's a specious argument,” Bob put in. “Oh, T'll' grant that there are some married women working in offices—martied women who could get along on their husband’s salary. But. mostly they're women who are so well trained that their job couldn't really be filled by the average single girl looking for a Jab. “Let’s take Virginia and myself as an example. Suppose I hadn't married her? She'd be working at her job, just as she is now. So what difference does it make to the unemployment situation whether we're married or unmarried? No, Steve. . . . I think you're trying to work up a logical, economic argument to justify your pride.” Steve smiled slowly. “Maybe so.” 2. nn ELL,” put in Toby, twisting impatiently in ‘his chair, “I'd even go one step further than Bob.” “What do you mean?” Steve, raising his head. “Bob and Virginia took a big chance when they married.” “With due respect to Bob, I-can’t see that they did,” Steve argued. “Both have jobs. Either job would probably support the two:of them, if they were careful and willing to make sacrifices. 1 can’t see that they took any chance at all.” “You're wrong, Steve,” said Toby, rising and walking toward the box of cigarets on the little table. Carefully he took one up, lighted it. “Look here. It's a well-known fact about human nature that people want what they can’t have. Suppose Bob and Virginia had wanted to marry only because it looked as if they couldn't? Then discovered afterward they'd made the wrong move. That would have been bad, wouldn't it?” SBE . 'M afraid I'm not. following you very well” Steve said. “There's only one sensible solution to the problem of two people in love who can’t marry for economic reasons,” Toby Lynch went on. “They should simply share an apariment together, split all the expenses. Then when business returns to normal, when all the salary cuts are restored and the birds start singing in the trees, these two can look at each other and decide whether they should really marry.” #“It's a nice idea for the man,” Steve said quietly. “But what happens to:the girl? I know it's a very modern world—but most people still think a lot of the marriage rite Toby snarted. “You'd be surprised at the number of such young couples right in this town today. And as for the girl—any woman who's really in love is willing to make the sacrifice. I tell you, Steve, it's the only way. You won't lose any

Mr. Rauh by Capt. Tom Gunn, an American-born Chinese now living in Hong Kong, the desk is a daily reminder of experiences in Manila where Mr. Rauh was able to render the captain a service. It is carved in curved shape and designed in an intricate grape pattern, with a filigreed back piece. ? ol #" wy -n HE Chinese vase at the left end of the desk reflects the blackness of the gleaming ironwood. It is of lacquered silk, light as a feather, done in the traditional

is also of dragon motif, embroidered in colors of splendor. From Java came the ivory-toned glass curtain on the door. Javanese slengand, it glows in cobalt blue, mauve and rust-toned design. Oriental rugs cover the floor and blend in color with the cushions ‘and hangings. An Italian settee, from an ancient palace in Florence, Italy, is shown, in part, left of the doorway. It has a companion chair upholstered in the same deep-toned tapestry, which stands in-another part of the room. A mounted boar’s head, a treasured souvenir from the Black Forest, hangs above the settee. The corner fireplace (right) is the focal point at the end of the drawing Joom. Simply treated, with color emanating from the coat of arms above the mantel, and from the tiffany colored lights in the wrought iron lamp, it offers an appropriate background for the inter-

Ability to Wield Beaters, Spoons Needed by Cooks

By NEA Service Are you a good mixer? The question doesn’t refer to your supply of small talk, but to your ability to wield spoons and beaters. Gake, pastry, puddings and biscuits depend so largely on the mixing that it’s most important for a cook to be a good mixer. In making butter cakes, the creaming of the shortening and sugar is of prime importance. With an electric beater this task is done thoroughly and without hard work. If you must do the mixing by hard, use a wooden spoon and be sure the butter is softened before you start. Unless the recipe calls for melted butter, -avoid softening it to the point of oiliness because melted butter and creamed butter produce two different textures of cake. Cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is very light and fluffy and the

sugar nearly dissolved. This in--

Things Heard About School Atfect Child

Criticise When Child Is Able to Hear Is Advised.

(This is the last of three articles on “Going to School’) 3

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A child can easily be turned away from school by hear-say, or listen= ing in on disparaging conversations of other people. It may be about the teacher or the principal, or any of the school personnel. The teacher may be new, or young or foolish, according to the gossips. . Or as one mother said, not bothering to move out of range of her small son's ears, “I never thought I should live to see the day when one of that Smith crowd would be teaching my boy.” Criticism Harmful : Can you see how this child's faith and respect for his teacher is undermined before he even sees her? Then there are other matters that may shake his faith in school. For instance, if he hears older folk knocking the whole system and saying what should be done and what not. Once Johnny gets the idea that he isn’t being done right by, he is likely to take one long look at the building on that first day and vow to himself that he isn’t going to uy in a place that is all wrong anyway, Democracy Important

Another matter that comes up every now and then is the democ=racy of the classroom. As time goes on there is a tendency to dee cry the different kinds, creeds, races

to add that it is a shame our dear . little Johnny has to go daily among them. This is one huge mistake. The public school is for the purpose of educating everybody and elevals ing the underprivileged. There are still other matters of like kind that will easily affect the pupil's attitude toward school. But one thing stands out—the more he hears against the system, the build ing, the room or his teacher and fel« low classmates, the less he will en~ joy his school life.

Etiquette

By PATRICIA

INGER FOODS—Bread is never cut, but broken into small pieces, each piece buttered sepa~rately. E Corn on the cob is taken up with the fingers and held at each end. The most satisfactory method, of course, is to use the little corn holders that can be stuck in the ends of the corn. Artichokes always are eatén with the fingers. A leaf at a time is pulled off and the edible end is dipped in the sauce and then bitten off. When the center is reached, the thistle part is scraped away with a knife, and the edges are cut

FORCED UP TO SLAM BID 1

. Contract Problem BY WM. E. MKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary F is difficult to lay down hard and fast rules as to what constitutes a sound slam bid. Some experts lean backward in insisting on the practical certainty of fulfilling the contract before undertaking a slam, but I think the general run of players get a greater kick out of the hands in which they attempt great things and make them by a lucky combination of skill and luck, with luck predominant. Take today’s hand, which was sent to me by Ralph H. Rosenthal, of Morristown, Pa. Plenty of luck was needed to make it, and the situation must have ap‘peared desperate when the opening lead was made. The bidding was very optimistic, but was based, as is often the case in rubber games, more on psychology than on cards. West's three heart bid was, to North and South, a tip-off that West held probably a long stringe of hearts

acted as an urge to the slam contract, which, of course, was theo= retically too high.

Rosenthal won the opening lead of the club nine with the ace. The situation was bad, but by | ho means hopeless. Three rounds of trump were taken, ending in the South hand. Next the heart finesse was taken and, when it won, South discarded a club on the ace of hearts. A low club was led from dummy and East won. East had no good lead left, To return a club would establish the 10 in dummy; a “heart play would permit a ruff and a discard. A spade would give declarer three tricks in spades, if he held, as appeared from the bidding, the ace-queen and one small. While the pre-emptive three bid drove Rosenthal into an unbid« dable slam, I still favor this bid, , because often, if used at the proper time, it can interfere with the bidding.
