Of Parents Girl’s Need

Don’t Slip Out Out at Night For Dates, Jane Tells Inquirer.

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

PEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am the “baby” of the family and certainly am treated that way. I have a sister who is 20 and I am 17.

She is working and making .good money while I am in my senior year at high school. My sister is very popular both in looks and dress and has many men admirers. I have been going with a fellow two years, but my folks are very strict with me and watch every move I make. They think I am too young for dates. All my friends are afraid to come to my house because my Dad insults them and this makes me feel I can’t be trusted. I love both of my parents very much but at the age of 17 I think I should have a good time with friends my own age. On Sundays I have to take a ride with my folks while all my girl friends are swimming and going.out with fellows. I know you can give me some help for I have writeen to you before. Do you think I should slip out at night like we read in books? I am very unhappy and lonesome. PATTY. gs = 8 : ANSWER—The trouble with slipping out at night is that you're sure to get caught and then your chances are slimmer than ever. Most parents yield to a slow, steady, reason- ~ able pressure more readily than to " disobedience and defiance which causes them to assert their authority more vigorously than ever. I do not believe that any normal 17-year-old girl should be deprived of dates or the companionship of girls and boys her own age. Many - parents adhere to the old system of guarded girls because that’s the way things were when they were - young and they aren’t amenable - to change. But when there are two girls in the family, one who has dates and the other who does not, it suggests that the younger girl ~ has not won her parent’s confidence. How old was your sister when she started to have dates? Do your parents offend her friends, too? Answers to these questions would throw more light on the subject. When a girl has an older sister she often wants to do everything her sister does, forgetting that her sister was restrained, too. at an earlier age. It makes a pretty * problem for parents who realize that the older child rates more freedom, but when it is granted the younger child is eaten by unreasonable jealousy. Finally the parents get worn out with the problem and try to settle it by impatient “nos.” Examine your own conduct and see if there is anything you have done to rouse their fears. Have you been’ silly, foolish and scatterbrained in the presence of boys? Have you stayed out late when you promised to come in? Have you chosen friends who inspire no confidence? How does your conduct compare with your sister's? If you see anything that needs correction, see that it is done. If your parents simply are unreasoneble I don’t see anything you can do but wait until you are older unless you find slow, steady pressure effective. No tantrums, no sulking. Just calm, but determined insistence ~ on a normal social life, backed up by good reasons, JANE JORDAN.

Solution to Previous Problem By W. E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary F a bridge player is to find a “killing break” in the trump suit, the sooner he learns the bad news the more likely he is to save something from the wreck. It may be nossible even to snatch victory from the arms of defeat if he knows the worst at once and has mastered the principle of timing in the taking of tricks. North, on today’s hand, was Robert Brainey of New ¥ork. The hand was dealt in a duplicate game at the London Terrace Bridge Club in that city. The deal gave him a double distinction, that of being the only player who reached a grand slam, and the only one to make all seven tricks. North did not force on the first round, as he held only two small hearts, and had decided that his solid clubs would be the trump suit. Fortunately, his partner gave him his confidence and did not bid again after the jump to the grand slam, as some bridge players, void of the chosen trump suit, might have done. After the cue bid, East did not open that suit, but chose a diamond

and declarer returned to his own hand with a ruff of a spade. He laid down the ace of trumps only to

-find that all five were in the West

hand. The king and queen of trumps were cashed, leaving West with the ten and six. Now another diamond was led to dummy, and the remaining high diamond cashed. Another spade

was ruffed in the closed hand, and a heart won with the ace. Then a spade was ruffed, and dummy re-entered with the heart king. West was helpless, as declarer now held the jack and nine of clubs over his ten and six, and the lead was in the dummy, with only

two tricks to go. The means by which North shortened his trump holding to the same number held by West is technically known as a .coup. It is one of the rarest plays in bridge, because the

holdings which permit it are rare. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Eyes Clue in| Hardening Of Arteries

Examination of Blood Vessels Reveals Brain Condition.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor American Medical Association Journal. One. of the most certain ways of discovering the onset of hardening of the arteries is te examine the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye with the ophthalmoscope. This is important because these vessels may reflect the condition of those in the brain. When there is a disturbance of the heart because of interference with the circulation of the blood to that organ, shortness of breath appears and with that there may come on later attacks of angina pectoris or a serious attack of coronary thrombosis. Hardening of the arteries causes the death of many people who live past middle age. If, however, an individual has passed 65 or T0 years of age, hardening of the arteries may go on for many years without producing death, provided the person takes care of himself.

Examples Are Seen

Excellent examples are found among some persons Who have reached the ages of 90 to 100, whose photographs at the age of 60 or 70 exhibit distinct signs of hardening of the arteries. Since there is no specific ireatment for hardening of the arteries which will restore the elasticity to the sclerotic blood . vessels, everything possible must be done to re-

lieve the stress and strain on or-

gans and tissues. The diet should be moderate and carefully adjusted. Stimulants should be taken with greatest moderation, including particularly tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol, not because there is any evidence that they can cause arteriosclerosis, but because there is plenty of evidence that they may overstimulate the body and that they may have bad effects on the stomach, the heart and the brain when taken in excess.

Exercise Is Required

The patient should have suitable periods of rest and exercise. The! doctor should prescribe the exercise | systematically, the amount and kind

depending on the stage of the disease and the efficiency of the cir-

culation. People with hardening of the arteries usually feel better after! suitably prescribed warm baths, hot | air baths, electric light baths and | similar physical therapy.

These changes in the blood vos

sels should be taken as a sign: of advancing age and should result in reduction of the hours of work and relief of stress in so far as is pos‘sible. Longer vacations should be had and possibly two vacations a year for those who work under high pressure. 2

Dizziness a Symptom

People with hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure frequently suffer with transient attacks of dizziness, drowsiness, ringing in the ears and similar disturbances which should not cause too much distress. Sometimes these clear up without any treatment beyond the rest and hygiene that have been mentioned. If, however, there are serious changes in the blood vessels of the legs, such as cramping, blueness of the tissues and failure of the circulation of the heart, serious and controlled treatment is required. . Needless to say, every possible minor infection about the body and every possible intoxication, such as

that from lead and disturbances of digestion, also should be treated.

FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1937 | Melon Has Tasty Zest In Summer

Clue to Ripeness Found In Character of Stem Scar.

By MES. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

Ripeness in a melon is no test of its flavor. How did it ripen? Ane swer that and you can tell in ade vance how it will taste. Ripening on healthy vines is the secret of well-flavored melons. And the best way for you to tell if a melon has | ripened on the vine is to examine the stem scar. If the scar is smooth, dean and cuplike, it means that the melon was picked at “full-slip” or when ripe enough for the fruit to separate easily from ‘the stem. A melon picked at “half-slip”—or at a less ripe stage—will have some of the stem adhering. If there is a little secretion of sugar around the stem scar it is a fairly safe indication that the melon is sweet enough for your table. Melons of almost any type have a chummy way with cottage cheese. {Cut the melons in half and scoop out centers. Mix cottage cheese with tender chives, chopped, and place the cheese in center of ' the cold, but not over-chilled, melon. It makes an ideal summer luncheon | dish. A pinkish yellow - cantaloupe, peeled and cut lengthwise in long strips, can be turned into a beautiful salad. Lay the strips on lettuce leaves and serve with a French dressing made of olive oil and lemon juice and very little salt and pepper. There are many varieties of melon ° salads, ice creams, etc., but a melon is usually able to stand by itself and as a general rule is far better for the single life.
