Would you like an outside viewpoint on your problems? Write to Jane Jordan and read her answers in this column. Times readers are invited to comment on the problems which interest them.
on ” » 2 i a n JD) EAR JANE JORDAN—I would value your comments on the following. It is thoroughly discouraging and * disheartening to a young couple to wait four years to get married. Financial matters are the only barrier to happiness. But what a barrier! .Four long years of saving, skimping from a ridiculous salary which the boy makes.
Some Have Won Out During Depression, Jor-|
One might say let the girl work, too. The girl did. The job lasted just |
a few weeks with a still more ridiculous salary. Plenty more jobs to get? you want the most starving salary. What is this world coming to? The younger generation is in a spot. No wonder
older people say it is going to the dogs. We think so;
too. Why wouldn't it? With hundreds of couples
just like this one wanting fo establish homes and |
bring up their children and no way to do so. In our opinion the great American home is a thing of the past. What do you think? Let's hear from young people who haven't got a chance! We are just one couple of—— r THE UNFORTUNATE GENERATION.
ANSWER—Instead of looking at the hundreds of couples who have failed to overcome the obstacles which confronted them, why not 180k at the hundreds of couples who have succeeded? In spite of the economic difficulties which confront the present generation, the fact remains that many have surmounted them. In searching for the reason why you are lined up with the failures instead of the successes you place the blame on external conditions instead of internal attitudes. Are you altogether right? Each on-coming generation has its own difficulties to face and each feels that its own lot is the hardest. I wonder if the wolf at the door
Jane -Jordan
is any harder to face than an Indian lying in wait for your scalp? 3 |
wonder if the tough competition in the economic world today is any more difficult than the hostilities of nature in a pioneer settlement? The world always has been difficult to cope with. If you don’t believe it, read vour history. Even in good times there always have been failures. The degree of courage which each brings to his problem determines his success or the lack of it. The personal histories of many of our kings of industry show that they started at starvation wages. Did this deter them? Not at all. Instead of blaming the svsiem or complaining about conditions they ‘simply buckled down and found a way out. If you feel that your elders have done a poor job in establishing a civilization without jobs for every one, vou must realize that you have inherited their burdens and must prove that you can do better. : The trouble is that you are still cherishing the attitude of childhood where vou expect favorable conditions to be created for vou instead of making your own life. It ‘is true that you
have reached vour majority in very tough times but there is no one capable of dealing with these times but vourselves. Father and mother can not help vou. Statesmen and politicians have not found the answer. If the absence of people to make things easy for you discourage you, you are indeed lost. " The only advice I have for vou is to take the starvation wages offered and make vourselves so valuable to your employers that you can demand more and get it. A resentful attitude toward the times will not help you unless your despair generates the ideas which will
deliver vou. =

| y ‘Urges Parents
- Watch Child's
Form Foundation, Writer Says.
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Right at the beginning of school year, it is important to make sure of the child's foundation for the semester ahead.
I have known dozens and dozens of children to go through five months of torments because they “got off on the wrong foot” during the first few weeks of the year.
Usually they are not given home work at first, except in advanced grades, so the parent may not know of the. struggle until the leaves fall a complete confusion may be es-
tic. The child can so easily miss a
ing a new process. decimals, fractions or square root. Perhaps just ordinary multiplication or division. Whatever the trouble, it won't clear up of itself, and leads to discouragement.
Watch First Month
This is why I suggest that parents keep an eye on school work for the first month. It takes such a few
. moments to go over daily papers
and note recurring mistakes. If the child can not understand your way of explaining the matter (for we've all heard the cry, “We don't do" it that way in school”) then a litle word to the teacher may do a world of good. She has no way of knowing that Billy is all mixed up about placing his decimals, because he didn’t quite catch her explanation the first day she put a sample problem on the board and worked it out. She could put him right in a few minutes if her attention were called to the matter. This pertains chiefly to process work. Concrete problems that must be analyzed before they are worked are different, Many a child can sail right through with a problem, once he is told how to go about it. And this is supposed to be left te the child himself,
Parents’ Interest Aids
Yet the parent can help indirectly by training the boy or girl to tackle problems given and encouraging a certain logic. The very fact that mother and daddy are definitely interested in lessons often -to work harder. And one other thing should be mentioned, I think. This is “praise.” How quick we are to see the low mark and scold abouf it, and how silent about the others! Yet, in many cases, we would do well to reverse our opinion. It: is usually the “poor” subject Billy ‘or Beth is most sensitive about. and that can make the whole school year one grand misery. Children need not be praised, exactly, but they do appreciate a little help, or at least some encouragement. Early in the school year many troubles can be ascertained and corrected. Later this may be impossible, Each parent knows where habitual weakness lies, or should, and can do a great deal to get the young hopeful off to a good start and with a certain sureness of success.

THURSDAY,
Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. McKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary : ANY bridge - players, once they have decided that game is safe and a slam is possible, make a bid or two that is not exactly what it seems. That is, it does not show a suit, but is intended to prevent, if possible, an unwanted lead which might defeat the slam. Such bids are not always easy to spot, but when ‘the defenders do recognize them, they generally result disastrously for the declaring side. The generally recognized defensive measure, in such a situation, is to double, if third hand, to direct a lead through the “phony” bid. In today's hand, however, the declarer side found a way to turn defeat into victory by switch-

ing both declaration and declarer, and thus also the leader. South felt sure that six hearts could be made, provided a spade lead could be prevented. His hid of four spades was made for this reason. But when West doubled the six heart bid, he knew that his opponent had spotted the nature of the bid. South stopped and considered the situation. Hearts should be solid and, in view of North's raise, there probably were at least three club tricks available. These, with what tricks there were in diamonds, seemed to make no trump the better contract; it at least would prevent a spade lead, or give South a trick in the suit. The six no trump was a sound
" bid, if the heart contract was un-
sound. Of course, the contract was made without difficulty. In fact, seven odd was easy, with the even club break, whereas six hearts would have been down one, with the natural opening of a spade. (Copyright. 1936. NEA Service. Inc.)

the morning, left in thé refrigera= tor and browned just before serving. September means continued hot weather for most of us and after the customary salad meal, Sirniki is the perfect dessert. A good family dinner based on Sirniki for dessert would be cream of celery soup, stuffed, baked eggplant, and vegetable salad with a garlic French dressing. If you eat light luncheons you will find Sirniki just filling enough and a pleasant change from sandwiches or salads. It is also a good dessert for a Sunday night supper.
