Don’t Adopt Baby Unless Husband Is Willing, Jane Urges.

Jane Jordan will help vou with your problems by her answers to your letters in this column,

EAR JANE JORDAN—I have been married for 10 months to a man two years my senior. We went together for over two years before we married and were very happy. Since marriage he is an entirely different person. I have made - my own living since I was 15 and am fairly well educated. My two ambitions have been to have a husband and my own home and to complete a course in commercial art. : I have my husband but my houseful of furniture is fast becoming little more than furniture in a hotel room. My husband’s ideas are contrary to my beliefs. He thinks that everyone is all wrong until they prove themselves right. He classes everyone as a fair-weather friend. People must do as he wishes in personal or financial matters or they cease to be friends. The only way he gets any fun out of life is constantly to shock someone or put someone on the pan. He has become rude and sloppy in manners and dress. My home is a perfect wreck 15 minutes after he gets home, I am not a finicky housekeeper. I only want my home to be neat and clean enough to keep me from being ashamed when someone walks in. Regardless of what I want to do or where I want to go he wants the opposite. His favorite expression is “You're married and stuck with it; so what?” He insists that he loves me and that if I leave hell just come and get me and bring me back. Due to an illness I cannot have a child and have made arrangements to adopt one next month. He was enthusiastic at first but not long ago said he didn't want the “brat.” I can’t and won't forget my promise to the girl who is going to have the baby. Sometimes I think 1 already have a boy to raise instead of a husband. I must find a

way to relieve this tension. PUZZLED.

ANSWER=Find another home for.

the baby. It simply is not fair to pring it into a home where husband and wife are in disagreement. Children do not smooth out difficulties, but increase them a hundred fold. You are right. You have a boy to raise. While I think he should know why in case you do-not take the baby, I hope you will not twit him with his unfitness to be a father. In so doing you only make him feel more inferior than ever and the more inferior he feels the more aggressive he will become in self-defense. Your danger will be in regarding your refusal of the baby as a punishment for your husband. Try to adopt a good humored, kind but immovable attitude. Let him know that the two of you - have an adjustment to make before it is fair to take a child. Take part of the blame yourself if you need to, but point out that parenthood is a job in co-opera-tiun and the two of you haven't learned the trick yet. Study the relationship between your husband and his mother, or her substitute. Whatever she did, ‘it was wrong, for it roused her boy’s antagonism against ‘others. Perhaps she spoiled him and he never learned the consideration for others which one must have to get along with people. In this case you will have to be kind but strict, showing lavish approval for all his virtues and unquarrelsome disapproval for his faults. Perhaps she was too stern, with--out sympathy or understanding, and he had to fight to get anything he wanted. What kind of man was his father? Is your husband copying his father’s attitude toward his mother? These things you should know before you can handle him intelligently. : This answer is inadequate for so complicated a problem. Why don't you write another letter after you've studied it a while longer? Perhaps I can be more helpful when I know more. In the meantime keep your head and avoid a condemnatory, punifive attitude. JANE JORDAN.

the neighbors talk about your fancy ways. Cheese has its smoother side and also its ornery side. Too often it slips from the knife and makes you start all over again. There's a goodlooking new cheese knife on the market which was originally designed for soldiers who had lost an arm. It not only slices the cheese but also picks it up with a forked point. If you are looking for a bridge prize which will bring amazement into your little circle this is the answer,

Baking on Top of Stove

If you like to “bake” on top of your stove, look at the new heavy cast-iron hot pot. It works on the casserole principle, has a tight fitting cover, and will produce first class casserole dishes right on top of the stove All summer long, ice must be shaved—for orangeade and lemonade, for other cooling drinks. But

shaving the ice 1s a tough little trick. Better get yourself an iceshaver. Simple business to operate. Drop the ice into a tall funnel affair, turn a crank and the ice shavings drop into the glass to which the gadget is attached. It's really fun to operate and making cool drinks becomes quite a pleasure. If you've gone in for chopped peas and nuts and other such for salads (and it is a first class health habit, by the way) a little chopper which fits over a glass and grinds peas to perfect green gems and nuts to delicious pieces with practically no effort is handy. Inexpensive, it will encourage you to eat more chopped raw foods. For all the cake-eaters in the land

Overeating Held Cause For Obesity

Calories Taken in Excess of Energy Needs Build Weight.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor American Medical Association Journal.

In the condition called obesity, which is a disease, the amount of fat stored in the body is’ excessive. There is \mauch argument as to whether obesity and overweight are two distinct conditions. In . overweight, for example, one merely consumes far more than he expends in the way of energy. The fundamental cause of obesity is, of course, the disproportion between the amount of fuel taken in and the amount burned up. Most people, at least up to middle age, preserve a constant weight in spite

of variations in the amount of their exercise. Moreover, they seldom pay

too much attention to the amount

of food that they take in. The appetite seems to be useful in the regulation of the amount of food that is taken. Many people, however, form a habit of eating more food than they can consume by output of energy and they gain weight regularly. :

“

Calories Cause Gain :

The famous aythority, von Noorden, estimated that the taking of 200 calories more each day than is expended in the way of energy produces a weight gain of 24 pounds a year. There is a certain percentage of cases of overweight which are due to disturbances of the glands of internal secretion. In these cases, certain glands of the body, such as the thyroid or the pituitary gland, cease to function normally and as a result there is a fall in the ‘rate of oxidation in the body. “However, these constitute only the smallest percentage of cases of obesity, the large majority being simple cases of overeating in proportion to the amount of energy expended by the body.

Test Is Advised

In any event, it is always best, before undertaking a plan of dieting to reduce overweight. to have a basal metabolism test. Such a test measures the rate of expenditure of energy by the body or the rate at which chemical changes go on and indicates whether the thyroid gland and the other glands are functioning as they should in this connection. There is a common notion that some people tend to gain weight while others who eat just as much and do not exercise as much do not gain weight. Most authorities are inclined to believe that this is simply a matter of physiologic bookkeeping.

The important factor is the re- |

lation between the total amount of calories taken in and the total amount of calories used up. Muscular work and the taking of food increase the metabolism; emotional disturbances also increase the metabolism. All of these factors must be kept in mind. People who are phlegmatic, worry less, sleep longer and relax more completely than do others, also tend to gain weight more

easily.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M’ KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary

FTEN declarer’s count of probable tricks, after the opening lead is made and the dummy spread, is affected by the problem as to whether he can dictate which of his opponents shall win a certain losing trick or tricks. Usually this problem is acute when the declarer holds a weakly-guarded king, which is in danger of being captured if led through. The correct solution of the problem, ever present at the bridge table, enabled Jack Moore of New York, in a recent duplicate game at the Gotham Bridge Club, to fulfill a contract which others with the same cards failed to make. ° The . bidding is self-explanatory. After North's free bid, South, with

a hand rather weak in high cards, but with a fit in partner’s suit, should bid again, and when the spade raise is given, is justified in trying for game. On the opening lead, East played the club three, and Moore rightly permitted West to hold the trick. He could not permit East to gain the lead until trumps were drawn, so that some of his losers might be discarded on dummy’s strong diamonds. One club trick had to be lost and perhaps a spade. To lose two heart tricks, as probably: would happen if East gained the lead, would be fatal. The club suit was continued; South won with the ace, and led a low spade to dummy’s King. Spades were returned and the nine finessed. West failed to follow. Dummy was re-entered with a damond and another spade finesse permitted the capture of East's four trumps without the loss of a trick. The play of the nine to the second spade trick was absolutely correct. South could afford to lose a trump trick, if West won it. He could not afford to lose to East and still have a fair chance to make his contract, ‘as West's bid clearly marked the ace and queen of hearts in his hand. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Women Advised To Personalize Plain Clothes

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Writer

Every woman who cares about her appearance ‘should know what not to wear as well as which colors and types of clothes are most flattering. That monotonous accessories, too many gadgets and the wrong colors detract disastrously from her good looks are just as important bits of information as hints about exquisite makeup, grooming and the like. One of the smartest women I ever have seen manages to look that

‘| way on a very modest income. She

says her secret lies in the fact that she always removes belts, clusters of none-too-lovely flowers, cheap clips, garish buckles and the ‘like from inexpensive frocks the moment she gets them home. In their place ge good-looking accessories and jewelry pieces which she has collected through the years. Get away from the idea that every costume you own requires an extra touch. There's much to be said, especially in an office, for a simple suit with a crisp blouse—no flowers, clips, pins or gadgets.

» The sun, these days, gets up ab

4:30 and it is daylight at five. Add an hour for ‘daylight saving” and it is still early. Get up then, if you have a lot of work to do. Please don’t grimace and declare that it is barbarous. It isn’t at all. In two hours, before the family gets up, and in the sweet cool of the morning, more can be accomplished than in several hours of heat. Fix the dishes to be served during the day, or run off that ironing, and then wonder why the following hours run so smoothly.

Take Nap When Baby Does Sleep in the afternoons, when

the small fry take their naps. Make it a fixed rule, for otherwise, une

less you go to bed with the birds,

you won't be abls to get up early in

the mornings. Let the children clear up their rooms and make their own beds, if they are over 7. They can. You don’t need rugs, unless the floors are unfinished. Roll them up, first scattering moth flakes

over them, and tote them to the

attic or dry basement. Leave Room for Play

Shove chairs back to the wall, leaving a clear space for play in the center of the floor. In the heat of the day, unless you have oodles

of shade, the children are better off inside. Provide constructive toys. Cute outs keep the girls busy, but be sure they have round-pointed scissors. Put four pins on a spool-top and show them how to “rope knit,” old-fashioned style. Why not get a book on things to.do? There are, for instance, “Keep Busy,” by Alma F. Strauss; Putnams, New York. Also “101 Things For Little Folks to Do,” by the Norths; Lippincotts, Philadelphia. Children’s magazines are also replete with suggestions,

Busy Children Are Quietest

Dress each child according te weather. A playsuit, sans under wear, is plenty until five o’clock. Then let them hop in the tub, bathe themselves (all hut the baby) and slip on fresh outfits for evening. Children kept busy and reasone ably cool won't he cross. Confusion, noise, and .too much glare, plus nothing to do, will upset an angel. These suggestions are, of course, for the hottest days. On cooler ones they can stand being outside most of the day in a safe yard. In this case they still need your help and suggestions for play.
