Muddles of In-LawsHeld Theirs Alone

aw Requires Husband, Sons to Support Dependents.

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column.

DEAR JANE JORDAN— The principals of this little drama are husband and wife, now separated, each about 46 years old; a son 18 in City Hospital with a rheumatic and nervous condition; a daughter 21 in a State institution at Ft. Wayne; a daughter 23, marTied and mother of two babies; a single son, aged 25, earning $40 a week; a married son, aged 27, with three little children, and a married daughter, aged 28. The husband was in an accident in 1927 that stopped his earning power for several years. During that time the 28-year-old daughter, whose husband I am, maintained the father, mother and all the children on her salary of $20 a wee, I married her in 1933. NQw the home is broken. The fath8r has an easy job in an apartmentt house but refuses to do anything for the mother, who attempted to keep the home together with i the two children who are now public charges. The father is as carefree as the “whistling barefoot boy.”

Is there /any law which could make |.

either the father or the unmarried son take the mother and the son now in the hospital and take care of them? The father is planning a trip to (Washington in August, an entire month’s vacation, if you please. |As the husband of the 28-year-old girl I am willing to take steps necessary to make the father and single son accept their responsibilities. My stomach is no longer strong enough to stand the sight of the| carefree father and the smug son enjoying life while the mother has no place to call home and two children are public wards. A SON-IN-LAW. » ” ” ANSWER—Yes. The father, the single son and married son can be forced by law to support the mother. As I understand it, a son-in-law is not liable under law for the support ‘of his wife's mother. Whatever he does is dictated solely by his own generosity. In my opinion your wife has discharged her obligation and you are quite right in expecting the father and sons to do their part. I take it that you either have the mother on your hands or that you contribute to. her support, If this is true you should go to a good lawyer and let him take the necessary legal steps to get money for the mother. If the mother gets- along one way or the other without your help, letther be the one to take the matter to court. If she does not it may upset your stomach but you can stand that better than a financial drain.

It is not well to meddle in the affairs |

concern Even though your action is just and right it is seldom appreciated. If you get your in-laws set against you they might influence your wife or at’ least ake her unhappy. Try to get your wife’s support in whatever you do. Very [likely the children who are public ¢harges should remain so beey need care and treatment which they would not get at home. This should not concern you. Do

Today’s Contract Problem

South’s contract is three no trump. The game is duplicate, in which every trick counts. Should South win the ‘first trick with the ace, when East plays the queen, and hope that his jack and nine will stop the suit again? : 65 Q103 10 AQJ1052

Solution to Previous Problem

By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary XPERT bridge playing does not always consist of attempting to win every possible trick. Sometimes rich dividends are paid to the declarer who knows when and how to lose a trick—in order, of course, that the surrendered trick, like bread - upon the waters, may return later with a little something added that will make an insecure contract a certainty. Today's hand is a case in point. South had plenty of tricks in his own hand and in dummy to realize his - contract, but unfortunately dummy’s hand was void of the suit in which dummy held the ace and king. y ; The count of tricks was two for the defenders clarer, and there

to play; so declarer could lose only one more trick. East won the first two tricks with the ace and queen of diamonds. He had a difficult choice of leads after that. He decided against a heart return, and finally chose to lead the club jack. Declarer finessed the queen, which held the trick, and now his contract was safe unless either East or West held all three outstanding spades. . Many players with the South hand would trust to chance and lead a high spade, but South had learned that it costs nothing to be safe. Safety in this case consisted in the play of the spade jack. When West failed to follow, South thanked his stars for his foresight. East won with the queen and returned another .spade,- but South now had an entry in dummy. He won with the nine "spot in dummy, played the ace of hearts and discarded the losing club from his own hand. All the declarer risked for safety was a possible extra trick if he were able to drop a singleton queen on

Those which touch the floor, and are either full and billowing or straight and sheath-like, are for formal dancing close to the stars atop a hotel roof. The ankle and midcalf lengths (always voluminously swirling “at the hem) will be seen at the theater and dinners in town, certainly on shipboard and around the country club.! Not only are they extremely flattering to the slender but equally practical for getting in and out of cars, going beiow for dinner when the boat

Made of chiffon or sheer silk print and finished with feminine details, it is your Sunday best, right for high tea and bridge parties, just as right for a dance or two after the movie or [supper in a roadhouse. i ; Chiffon prints, for all three types of evening attire, are as colorful as the border of an English: garden. Among the handsomest noted in New York designers’ collections are: giant purple, heliotrope and lavender tulips on a white chiffon ground over a white taffeta slip; light pink and deep rose cabbage roses on a flesh background; delicate sprays of

peas with a profusion of green leaves on baby blue chiffon and a galaxy of wildflowers, such as buttercups, forget-me-nots and daisies on various grounds. Fresh Flowers Worn With an ankle-length dinner dress you might wear fresh or artificial’ blossoms in your hair, a silly little crownless hat with a pert veil or, if you like, go bareheaded. You may be a bit scared of the idea of going without a hat except when wearing truly formal gowns, but many fashionables are doing it, in the daytime as well as at night, Hat manufacturers may get up in arms about the situation, but actresses and society women and others who set the styles in this country seem to be enjoying the hatless vogue. With a street-length dance frock wear a picture hat or a crownless one with a veil. New and attractive are models with brims that are narrow at the back, wide at the front | and finished with chiffon bands which trail down the back. With a gay chiffon print, try a natural panama hat with streamers which match the outstanding colors in the print.

Of Peril in

Avoid Rivers, Docks and Untried Beaches, Says Writer,

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The boy has a right to adventure,

but there are times when he must be saved from himself, as he little knows the hopeless danger of sink holes and the tragic slyness of a leaking skiff. : It is water time, swim time, all the rest of it. - The lad will look at the ocean and say, “I'm not afraid of you, old boy,” or at the calm pond and cry, “Get out of my way, baby,” as his spindle shanks trail him in the dive like the legs of a wild goose in his free heaven. But he is intrepid because he does not know danger. And water is danger, always. All children should learn to swim, and not perhaps. They should get over their emotional fear of water

their hearty respect for it as an element. Dangers to Avoid

Therefore; water-education means much more than mere swimming or floating. It means the much harder lesson, memorizing and living the motto, “Never Take a Chance.”

‘Accident on land seldom interferes with the mechanics of breathing. Mishap on water, or in it, cuts off life at its very source, and there is little to do about it. Therefore some rules so hard and fast they allow no qualifying should be part of every child's charter of rights to swim. “Never a river.” There may be safe ones, but I've never heard of them. Anything big enough to be dignified by the name is sure to be full of tricky currents, cuck holes, or - quicksand. Maybe all. Maybe none. But unless we know every inch across in both directions, for a distance, we and it are enemies on a truce, for as long as we stay apart.

Avoid Tidal Docks

“Never a ship's dock anywhere.” The reasons are obvious. Such water is always deep, full of refuse at bottom and interlaced with piles and

supports. Tidal docks have swift currents, and suction is always present near boats. “Never an untried beach on either lake or sea.” Let experts do the exploring and proclaim the stretch “safe for bathers.” “Never a plunge into water anywhere when not feeling well.” Cramp is unpredictable, but the ‘chances for cramp are greater when the swimmer is under par from fatigue or illness. “Never a solo swim.” This depends on circumstances, but younger children should not swim alone. And “never deep water — until swimming has been completely mastered.” Floating is as important as swimming. Children should learn it. The tired one may turn on his back, relax, and muster strength to get back to the shore that is farther away than he thought. . There is a lot of water. “Choose the friendly places, or none,” tell the children. And incidentally, we need still more accessible city pools where bathing is comparatively safe.

Low Blood Pressure Often

Nausea, Fatigue

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor American

Medical

Association Journal.

It is known that the blood pressure is maintained by a number of factors—the force with which the heart pumps the blood, the amount of elasticity in the walls of the arteries, the amount of resistance in the tissues through which the blood must pass, and the volume of the blood. Variation in any of these factors may produce a change in the blood

Cafe Internship For Grads Urged By Cafe Official

By United Preset KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 22.— Interneship in restaurants for home economics graduates before they assume manager positions was advocated here yesterday before the American Home Economics Association by Myron Green, "of this city, president of a cafeteria company. “I see no reason why internship in a restaurant in any different from that in medicine, law, dentistry, or any other of the professions,” he declared. “Contrary to general belief, more training is required for success in restaurant operation than in many other professions. There are probably more failures in the restaurant field than in any other line.”

Average blood pressure of men from 20 to 50 years of age is approximately 120 mm. of mercury. Jf the blocd pressure falls below 110 mm. of mercury at the time when the heart has contracted, it is considered: to be within the limits of low: blood pressure that may be

This oc= curs whenever g person is nauseated, faints or has a severe hemorrhage, In some conditions associated with general weakness, the blood pressure is low. following influenza. The weakness or asthenia that cc curs after influenza is well known. Not only does the person feel weak, but he perspires freely on exertion and gets weary, depressed and tired after a smali effort.

In the control of this condition, rest is most important.
