Her Spouse Won't Work, Wife Writes
Outsider Would Have More Influence With Him, Jane Says.
Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.
DEAR JANE JORDAN— What is the reason some men won't work? What would you do if you were married to one of these won’twork men, he the father of two darling little children, and you had to hear various excuses every day in the year for eight years? Our two children are going to come to real want because my health going fast from trying to carry the load of both father and mother. I urge him to find work if it is only cutting lawns for people, for it would add a few pennies for food. But he positively will not do one bit of labor. After eight years of begging, praying and hoping, I lat last have decided that it is in vain. 1 rush out and call those who advertise for men in our papers. I spend hard-earned .nickels to get in touch with a job for him. Time and again, kind voices have said, “Tell him to come in. We will be glad te hire anyone if it means helping children.” But all my pleading and urging has been futile. He just will not work. Friends say to step out and get a divorce and try to find happiness again, but I have always tried to stand firm in right, and I'm afraid that would not be the thing to do. I would be afraid to trust another man and I don't know any men anyway. I believe it will be best for me to find a housekeeping posisome old lady somewhere in that way to make a decent home for our children. What. would ypu do? WORRIED MOTHER. 4 8 z ANSWER-I wonder what would happen |if the man had to work in order to| eat? Would he starve rather than work? You've tried pleading and pushing, conniving and cajoling without results.| Now you might try the more practical method of simply pushing him out to sink or swim on his own responsibility. While I cannot blame you for | yor anxieties about a jobless husband, I suspect that you've taken the wrong method of getting anything out of him. You've treated him exactly as a mother treats an | erring child. You've answered ads, | you've called employers, you've been "at him morning, noon and night in your efforts to energize- him, but have deprived him of nothing in your power to give. The more you try, the balkier he gets. It wouldn’t surprise me if his mother had the same trouble with him and that she used the same methods you use with the same lack of success. Perhaps he married to get away from her constant prodding. When you took up where she left off, he reverted back to his boyhood and refused to budge. : This is only a guess. I may be wrong. I know I'm not wrong in assuming that his irresponsible attitude toward work started in youth. He learned early how to get even with people by refusing to do things their way. I feel certain that he holds some grudge against you that he pays off by flatly refusing to take any work you find for him. Somebody else would have more influence in persuading him to find an occupation than you have. Consult someone skilled in getting at the bottom of such situations. Many times the opinion of almost any outsider will carry more weight than the family’s. If the man knew how much happier he would be succeed- | ing at something than=erulating a mule he might make the effort. | If you will send your name and ad- ' dress I will suggest someone: who may be able ‘to help you. JANE JORDAN.

bare majority of the trump and leaves no safety margin to guard
against a bad split in trumps. However, there are many situa-
"| tions in which declarer himself can
guard against four trumps in one hand, by the simple expedient of discarding a loser, instead of trumping. : In today’s hand, as the heart suit is divided four and four in the hands of the opponents, it happens that three no trump would have been a safer contract for the North and South pair. When the opening lead was made, South could count 10 tricks, provided he did not have to lose a trump trick. He could not guard against five trumps in one hand, but if the trumps were four-two he could make his contract. West continued with the queen of hearts and then played the ace. South, instead of ruffing this trick, discarded a small diamond. Now West could not continue hearts. He shifted to diamonds, but South won with the ace and then led out all of the trumps. While this play left him without a trump in either hand, his foresight was rewarded, as West had held four trumps originally. Had South ruffed the third heart lead, his contract would have been defeated three tricks. There was nothing to gain and everything to lose by ruffing. South could have discarded only two losers on dummy's clubs, in any event, and would still be left with a diamond loser. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Add Cool Touch To Garden With
Blue Blossoms
Blue is a favorite color in the garden. and pure blue one of the rarest tones of nature.

An excellent blue is the Chinese forget-me-not, cynoglossum. amabile, listed as a biennial but blooming as an annual from sowing early outdoors. It has deep and intense blue flower clusters produced in great profusion, making a brilliant patch in the garden as well as a fine subject for cutting. d standby is the bachelor | button or centaurea cyanus which s fringed blue flowers produced in great profusion with good stems for cutting . The annual larkspurs give some ine blues although all have more & less purple in them. They are

Queen, Wallis [Lean to Blue
By United Press LONDON, May 11.—Queen Elizabeth and Wallis Warfield share one thing in common—they both like blue. That color dominates their summer wardrobes recently completed in’ London and Paris. The Queen's 40 summer costumes, furnished by a London dressmaking establishment, range in color from pale sky blue to deep midnight blue. Most of her day clothes follow the same pattern, crepe dresses worn With loose, flowing coats, heavily trimmed with fur, and straw hats with flower trimmings. She selected small patterned printed silks and a few tailored sports clothes. Only for evening wear does her majesty step out of the role of a simple wife and mother and go in for elaborate creations. Even then she follows the taste of her austere mother-in-law, Queen Mary, and dictates that rich
old-fashioned, modest high necks with puffed sleeves. The more modern Duchess of Kent, on the other hands, sets London styles with startling evening creations with low cut, decollete, swirling skirts, and wears bizarre, jeweled ornaments in her hair.

Quarrels Often Are Habitual
Most Childish ‘Spats’
Without Real Grievance.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Quarrels among children in the family are largely a matter of habit. A child becomes so accustomed to taking exception. to every move made by the others that about half the time he fusses without one thing to fume about. Children do get jealous of each other, of course, and they are also greatly afraid of being imposed
upon. What is more common than
to hear Johnny growl, “Send Bob | this' time. I went last. He never takes his turn”? . But by and large, most of them have no real grievance. Their little spats are mostly on top. The child who has a real hurt, and who. is actually unhappy, is usually silent about it, or else he tries to cover up by hehavior entirely unrelated to his trouble. Whatever the cause may be for the every-few-minutes wrangling, a mother gets nervous just the same. Warring Unnoticed
She may become so accustomed
to the continual warring that she |’
doesn’t actually notice it, but merely wonders why she herself is so irritable and tired. Without any word to her family, she might begin in her own quiet way, to observe the chief causes of battle. In most cases she is likely to discover that habit and chip-carry-ing are all there is to the matter. If this is true and she suspects no imposition, or teasing or overbearing behavior on the part of any of them, then the situation calls for no uncertain measures. Frankly and flatly she must put the problem up to the youngsters themselves. “I won't have this screaming and quarreling one minute longer,” she should say. Problem Child Is Excention If they see that she means what she says, they .are going to bury their small axes with amazing speed. It is strange how enforced good behavior reacts on the thoughts and actions of the disciplined. These children will be feeling more kindly to one another in a little while, their small grudges forgotten. If the mother finds that one child is the source of most of the trouble, the storm center so to speak, then her safest move is to study him a a problem. : - He may need some very special handling to overcome his bullying, which is stepchild to some unhappy complexity in himself, and needs wisdom and patience to over-

Sleek and Slender Juliana Captures Coronation Crowds
By United Press
LONDON, May 11.—Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, and her bridegroom, Prince Bernhard, whom she now calls “Benno,” captured. the imagination of coronation crowds today. They remembered the Princess as a roly-poly, shy, old-fashioned bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Marina anc the Duke of Kent.
Today, they saw a slender, chic, modern young woman who could no longer be called stout. The Crown Princess wore a heavy crepe dress with a light blue woolen coat, smartly -tailored, and edged with crimson frogging on the shoulder and yoke. She had a tiny peaked skull cap of openwork, pale blue straw perched jauntily on the back
of her head. Jeweled ear rings dangled from her uncovered ears. Her shoes, purse and gloves were of navy blue. Juliana apparently is continuing her reducing exercises and dieting, for she appeared from five to 10 pounds slimmer today than when she visited Paris a month ago. London still , remembers the time she held up boat reporters and photographers to smoke a forbidden
cigaret before descending the gang-
come. (Copyright, 1937. NEA ‘Service. Inc.)
plank attired in a matronly costume, with her long hair piled in a
knot at the back of her head, and her face devoid of any makeup. Crown Princess Juliana seemed far prettier than pictured in her photographs. She has light-brown hair, waved in a long bob with curls at the nape of the neck; large, expressive blue eyes, and a clear skin lightly made up with a touch of crimson lipstick.
