29-Year-Old Man Says
Relatives Always Have Ridiculed Him.
The answer you receive to your problem in this column may change your entire career. Write your letter now!
EAR JANE JORDAN— I am an only child of a middle-class family; an only grandchild; an only nephew.
§ People say, “Well, you’ll nev-
er starve. You'll never be without a home.” I am now 29 years old and all my life my every act has been subjected to severe criticism on all sides. I still live at home but I pay my way, for I am proud and sensitive.
All my life I have been lonely inside of me. I learned early and “bitterly not to confide in anybody, not even my relatives. Everything I did or said was always exposed to the ridicule of everyone who knew me. Boy “friends” used this method and fancy falsehoods to discredit me in the eyes of prospective girl {friends and consequently the number of dates I have had in my life can be numbered on your hands.
I have come to treat girls as casual friends and never bother them with my company. I have learned to laugh things off no matter how I feel inside. I wear: a mask. I can be cruel when I have to be. I am only a lowly shop worker with future retarded for five years becanse of the depression. This summer I walked into a certain place. I saw a girl there and instantly a vision popped into my brain. I saw her in a home, our home. I saw children playing, running joyously to greet me. : Every time I relax or try to rest
- she floats into my mind and visions
of what can never be haunt me. She is going steady with a young doctor. He will be able to give her much more than I. He will make her secure, comfortable and happy. I only can offer her my love, ability, brains and very little tangible wealth. My love for her is something I can control. I have never
. said anything to her about the way
I feel. I am in love with a woman
i. and can do nothing about it only
© me.

ANSWER—The best thing you
can do is to get yourself a job as 5: far away from your people as pos-
"sible.
You ought to have done it
2 long ago. Believe me, it is not the oa depression which has retarded you “" but the family. Others have suc- “= ceetled in spite of the depression.

Add to this the fact that your loving family has consistently knocked down your ego and treated : ou as a child for 29 years, and what can you expect? Run. Fly. Get away. You can earn a living: Save your funds and start over in a strange community. Break your childhood pattern of putting up with the jibes of friends and relatives. ‘It does not surprise me that you have fallen in love with a remote ideal, with a woman just out of reach. Can’t you see that in centering upon one who loves another (and to your mind stronger) man, you have merely furnished yourself with an acceptable excuse not to dive into the stream of life and ‘swim? This dodge is so familiar, so frequently employed by men whose self-confidence and courage has
been undermined by well-meaning |
but domineering families, that I cannot feel impressed by the ever-
Ylasting nature, of your love.
‘Come now. Face the facts. Don't accept your own excuses. Not the depression, not an engaged girl, not ridicule has licked you, but your own lack of courage and independence. This you can build for yourself if you once look your problem in the face. You've had a bad preparation for dealing with others in business or in love. Succeed in spite of it. JANE JORDAN.

EADACHES from eyestrain will never bother people who play in this room. It offers the newest forms of indirect lighting. The secret is in the use of silvered lamp shades which deflect the light rays and spread them evenly about the room. Besides the bridge lamp, shown in the corner, there are two other bowl lamps offering three different degrees of light. The result is a soft, restful, indirect light which up to now has been found mostly in modern offices and shops. Because the silvered bowls shield the brilliant lamp filaments, no glare meets the eye and annoying shadows are eliminated.
” = 2 ARTICULARLY worthy of note is the window treatment used on the far side of the room. Antique satin drapes of eggshell background are banded with coral stripes and the same bright color tone is reflected in the coral wall paper which

Two brown and white zebrastriped leather upholstered chairs of chromium base are other added decorative features of the room which strike a smart note. The intelligent utilization of space is as much a feature of the modern room as the furniture itself. On the far side a long, low radiator is covered with a brown - leather cushioned seat for at least four persons. It is arranged for reading, with an accessible lamp and built-in end tables shelved for magazines or books.

Young Held Carbon Copy Of Parents
Often Likely to Imitate the Moods of Elders, Says Writer.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Children are very sensitive to the
moods of their parents, particularly |
their mothers. I shall never forget one time, when I was looking particularly lugubrious and “Doncy” as the Irish pioneers used to say, one
of the children, aged 3, climbed |}
quietly on my lap and said seriously, “Let's cry.”
Nothing truer was ever said than |i
“Shew me the child and I will show you the parent.” The whole attitude of the family is an exact carbon copy of its elders. “But,” exclaims Mrs. “Kitty is like her father. I do get despondent over little things sometimes, but she has no sympathy or understanding whatever. She is never downcast. She is so hearty
and happy that nothing I do or say |!
has any effect on her. How can my spells * of discouragement affect her?”
Irritability Is Likely to Develop
In this way, Kitty, with a heritage of heartiness, will not be able to understand her mother. And repeated experiences of low moods will affect her in another way. She will be irritable and impatient, rather than morose. Lacking sympathy, she may develop a desire to get away. Even as a very small child she may resent these daily cryings and complaints. If James is like his mother, or his Grandmother Jones, prone to discouragement and moods, then he may understand his mother, and revel in being sad with her. But it isn’t doing him any good to be encouraged in his emotionalism. The two of them are an unfortunate combination. He needs to be trained out of self-pity, and away from over pity of anything or any one. And in case this makes your eyes pull up, let me say that overpity can sap strength and life itself, when it becomes an emotional obsession. There are many people who live in a constant orgy of sentimental pity. There are children who love best the sad books that make them cry. This is always bad. Emotional Unbalance
It is not always moods of the blues variety that color the character of children, however. Parents with tempers, with cruel streaks, ruthless conduct coming to the fore every so often, are unconsciously molding their children’s characters in the same direction. Any kind of emotional unbalance whatever has this tendency. Maybe it is the habit of sudden exuberance about nothing. Perhaps a constant oversanquinity or hopefulness without foundation, and unaccompanied by effort. All and every emotional attitude affects the family. Besides, the unpredictable parent, or one who.changes mood with the weather, is hard to live with. The child learns to suit his conduct to it, as the weather vane to the wind. So, as far as possible, both parents should try to be equable and normal, neither descending to brooding or ascending to outburst of exuberance. There are always excepional times, naturally, but here we are speaking of habit. We pass on habits as we pass on the color of eyes. One is conditioning, the other
eugenics, but the result is the same, (Copyright, 1937. NEA Service. Inc.)

It was a tense situation, buf when the hand came in it recorded that the Canadians had beaten a seven club contract one trick, redoubled, while their teammates had made séven clubs. Canada thus won the American championship. East decided against a heart lead, which his partner’s double called for, and led the ten of clubs. Declarer thoughtlessly played the queen from dummy. Next he led a low diamond to his ace and another low diamond as he felt that this suit had to be established. He returned to his hand with the ace of spades to ruff another diamond, but East played the nine of trump and beat the contract. Declarer might still have won the hand, after having taken the first trick with the queen, had he played West for the king of hearts and the queen of diamonds, thus makin seven with a squeeze. 1

.7,1037 Recipes for. Male Cooks Win Praises
Sunday Night Menu Gives Men Opportunity To Show Ability.
By NEA Service : Zo It’s considered smart to say tha a man makes a better cook than a woman, But it's even smarter to get a man to do a bit of cooking now and then. Three things seem to lure the occasional male cook into the kitchen. They are cinnamon buns, eggs Benedict and a fancy casserole of tuna fish and ripe olives. These are all good Sunday night supper
-1 specialties.
They are more or less showy— male cooks need a lot of applause and these dishes win it easily. So begin today talking about how good it would be to have one or two of these dishes next Sunday. Convey the idea subtly that you, the woman cf the house, don’t feel quite expert enough to attempt them (though it is obviously untrue), and leave these instructions lying about care= | lessly where the “superior male” can see, read and be lured into the attempt.
~ .Cinnamon Buns
2 cups flour 2% teaspoons baking powder >» teaspoon baking soda ; teaspoon salt 1. tablespoon sugar 3 tablespoons butter 1 cup sour milk For the filling: % cup raisins 2%; teaspoons cinnamon 12 cup sugar Men like more sugar. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar foe gether, Add butter. With two
knives, cut in the butter until it is all cut up into tiny pieces. . Then with the finger tips, press into the flour. This part makes male cooks feel very professional. - They [love to talk about “using your hands instead of a lot of fancy equipment.” Slowly add sour milk, mix well, and turn out dough to floured board. Dust with a little flour and roll to strip about % inch thick. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then spread over top of strip. Sprinkle raisins over the sugar and cinnamon. Then begin to roll up the dough, embracing all these spices and fruit. Cut off buns about 1 inch wide. Arrange on a greased cookie layer and bake in hot oven for about 15 minutes. After 10 minutes of baking, baste top of each with a little cold milk. Return to fire. The milk will brown them nicely.
