- DEAR JANE JORDAN—My father is

a mean, despicable

’ drunkard. A week ago he went on a rampage. Up until that time he had never harmed any of we three children ~. physically. I am 17, my brother 12, and my sister 7. How-

ever, this time he struck me.

Mother signed a warrant for his arrest

in jail until today.

and he has been

This is not the first time he has been arrested on these charges, but he is is just hypocrite enough to get out of all of them. Neither I nor the other children have any respect for him but mother continues to

leave him.

She is not able to work herself.

I feel sure I shall get a

job and if I do I will make $12 a week. I have the utmost respect and love * for my mother but hate and fear my father for the anguish he has caused

the whole family.

What can we do?—WORRIED.

ANSWER—In your anxiety to solve the situation do not lose sight of the long view. Do not forget that trained nurses make a great deal more, than $12 a week. If a: few more years of endurance will pay big dividends later on, shut your teeth and stand it.

The most satisfactory solution

for the present is not always the

best for the future. ¥ takes grit and courage to bear up under the

bad ‘conditions of here land now for the sake of a distant goal.

Youth

wants to make everything right at once and has little capacity for

postponement.

No matter how hard you try you can’t support a family of four on $12 a week. Nor car. you relieve your mother completely from her resposibilities. In other words you can’t take your father’s place as head of the family anc it is useless to try. Plot your own escape and

help the others if yo

can, but remember that each ene has to work

‘ for his own deliverance. You can’t do it all. I do not know what kind of a drunkard your father is. If his condition is periodic he may be quite bearable during his sober stretches.

is also ‘possible that ii you keep out of his way when he is drunk he vou physically. No doubt you antagonize him

when he is intoxicated by showing your scorn and hatred. : Did you know that most drunkards have one thing in common not often recognized by their suffering families? It is a need for affection, an insatiable desire for love. They want more than it is possible for anybody to get in this life, and drown their disappointment in alcohol. A drunkard is a person who cannot meet life as it is with its burdens,

its responsibilities and its pains.

Sometimes he has a hard fight with

unbidden impulses whica he seeks to drown with alcohol.

to realize that your father is a sick man. I do not mean that

|Each Child Different, Parent Told

Writer Says Traits Vary From Babyhood Influences.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Be careful, parents, that the assertive child in your little family does not get all the favors, just because it is the easiest way. Your children’ won't be alike. You will wonder why, because you were careful, during babyhood, to see that each had the same treatment and identical routine. But from the moment Teddy learned to reach for his rattle, you knew that he was more assured than either Don or Lois. And for that matter, you knew, too, that Don was far more tractable than Lois. . The pattern of a child is so hard to explain that many authorities have just about given up {rying. Having always been a firm believer in heredity, I cling to it as the solution of many puzzles. Yet, perhaps, some very tiny and unnoticed experience in babyhood does affect ‘disposition and cause some children to take the wistful attitude, and others to look upon the world as their very own kingdom. All the Breaks

Strangely enough, too, it often -| happens that the go-getter is blessed with particular beauty. How often have I seen this happen. A strong will, an aggressive disposition and a heaven-sent pair of eyes, or a head of hair that would make an angel weep, compose the picture. When such a baby as this drops his suitcase in the hall and says that he, or she, has come to live there, usually it means a, man-sized problem from that day on. The other children, who need all the encouragement they can get to help them elbow their way through the world, naturally take their places at the end of the procession, while this young soldier of fortune immediately places himself at the of the line. Life becomes complicated then for the parent, because care must be taken not to instill defiance in this small usurper while, at the same time, he has to learn to make way fairly for his less glorified sisters and brothers. He may be the youngest, or the oldest, or merely in between. Age does not count. Nor sex.

Often Brings False Fears

Age of Patient, Mental Excitement Tend to Hike Figure.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor, American Medical Journal

The blood pressure varies from time to time in every person. For that reason, the doctor may have the patient rest quietly for 15 minutes before the blood pressure is measured. The doctor also would like the patient to be mentally quiet because emotion and excitement raise the blood pressure. Very frequently the doctor will record the patient’s blood pressure twice—once after the first 15-minute rest and again just before leaving the patient.

‘The blood pressure of the patient is a record of the power with which

"the heart propels the blood through

the vessels and a measure of the elasticity in the walls of the blood vessels. If the walls of the blood vessels are rigid, as in hardening of the arteries, theve is no “give” to these walls and the pressure is likely to be higher. In a child, the blood pressure, just after the heart has contracted, varies between 90 and 105 and during relaxation of the heart, varies between 65 and 70. As the child grows older, the blood pressure gradually increases following contraction of the heart until eventually it reaches a level of 120 at the age of 20. The pressure at relaxation of the heart does not increase proportionately but reaches about 80 at the age of 20. From 20 years of age to 40 years of age, the blood pressure usually is about stationary, averaging from 120 to 125 after contraction of the heart and from 80 to 85 after relaxation of the heart. After the age of 40, the blood pressure may rise gradually, although it does not always do so, reaching approximately 135 around 60 years of age, with a measure-

-ment of around 90 for the pressure

after relaxation of the heart. If the blood pressure goes much above 140, it is generally regarded as representing something slightly abnormal, although there are some people who normally have blood pressures that are higher. Far too often persons become exceedingly disturbed - over a high

Solution to Previous Problem BY WILLIAM E. MEENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary OMETIMES a bridge player has an embarrassment of riches. He holds so many high cards that he knows that any bid he may make, except a forcing bid, will be passed by his necessary trickless partner.

John Tritch Wed To Edna Thomas

Before an altar bankec with ferns and garden flowers, Miss Edna Thomas, daughter of M:. and Mrs. David Thomas, was married to John William Tritch recently at the Calvary Baptist Church. Th: Rev. William O. Breedlove read the ceremony. : Mr. Tritech is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Tritech. The bride was given in marriage by her father, She wore a white satin gown and the wedding veil of Mrs. Triich. Miss Margaret Thomas, or. of

the bride, was maid of fonor.

On the other hand he may not want to force in a suit and have a hand that may not possess a single honor card play the contract, with his wealthy exposed to the eyes of his opponents. That was the situation which confronted Gordon M:. Gibbs, president of the American Bridge League, in the Philadelphia master point tournament, recently conducted by the Philadelphia Whist Association. Mr. Gibbs’ own hand was good for 10 tricks. His partner, George Unger, hearing his unusual bid, gave his two queens a greatly increased value, and raised to six. Seven was bid by Mr. Gibbs, as a matter of course. Mr. Gibbs won the first trick in his own hand and then cashed his three high hearts. When that suit failed to break, he continued with three high diamonds. Again he had no place to discard his losing club. He then played his last high spade and led the five of spades to dummy’s queen. North at this point held the diamond jack and four clubs to the jack. South held the heart jack and four clubs to the 10. North was forced to give up one of his four clubs to hold a diamond. When it came South’s turn to play, he too, had to give up a club, as
