To Work or Not to Work Is Problem Facing Many Women

By DOROTHY DUNBAR BROMLEY Times Special Writer To work or not to work is a question that faces many young women who are about to step off into the more or less sheltered state of matrimony. The pros and cons of the question were debated the other day in a broadcast sponsored by the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. and

a number of points were raised whi in any mixed group.

ch would start a heated discussion

But before the free-for-all starts, both men and women ought to check their prejudices and preconceived notions at the door, since the

social and economic picture of today ¢

is as different from day before yes- | terday’s as a cubistic painting from a Whistler portrait. | Just how different things are was | pointed out by the novelist, Mrs. Margaret Culkin Banning. She briefly outlined the choices that face an employed girl who wants to marry a man in the low income group. 1. She may wait—perhaps for years—until the man is earnmg enough to take care of them both. 2. She may give up her job and marry, even if it means that beth of them must reduce their standard of living and have no chance tw | obtain either comforts or security. | 3. She may marry and keep on | with her job, provided society, in the shape of her employer, does not forbid. Choice May Be Hard

The choice may be desperately hard to make because she may feel an unconscious, if not a conscious scorn for a young husband who is unable to pull the whole weight of the boat himself. She may tell herself that it was her mather’s and ner grandmother's prerogative to be supported, but she may not be honest enough to admit that jobs and wages are different today, or that her grandmother had a fulltime job in a home where there were few modern gadgets. All she sees is that wives who do not work seem to have an easier Jot and to be more highly thought of in many communities where it is | held that married women have no | right to take jobs away from unemployed men and single women. Should the young wife be anxious to pull her oar, she may honestly be afraid that her strength and courage will not be equal to holding a job, doing her own housework, and bearing and bringing up at least a few children.

Children Are Problem

Only one of these arguments seems to me legitimate morally and socially, and that is a young wife's wish to have children and give them the best possible care. This point was tellingly made by Dr. Helen Thompson, research associate in the Clinic of Child Development at Yale University. Even, she said, if a child is left in a day nursery he will not have “the personal supervision and consistent attention which young children need.” Since women who've once held jobs grow rusty if they stay at home, Mrs. Banning thinks there should be “retraining centers and continuation study made available to housewives so that they will not be incapable of going back to work when their period of greatest concentration on child care and home management is over.”

Higher Wages Needed

If such a plan could be carried out—and I hope to live to see it— a young couple would still have to find the wherewithal to support themselves and their children on a decent level during the wife's stay-at-home period. Personally, I do not see how that can be done until we have, as Prof, Henry Pratt Fairchild suggested, a radical redistribution of the national wealth in the form of much higher wages. While such an economic change is still a long way off, a psychological change should not be so difficult to achieve. As Miss Charl Williams of the National Federation of Business

and Professional Women said, “We need new symbols to represent the role of husband and wife.” I agree with her that “the American pioneer symbol, whereby the

| husband and wife were codefenders | earlier to allow time for a bit of | of /the family and coproducers of | personal glorification.

the home, are as good today as they were 150 years ago.” Help-meet is a better word than wife.

Proper Use of Time Best Plan For Beauty Care

By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer | Provided she decides definitely | how she wants to look, then plans her beauty and grooming routines carefully, any woman can be chic and attractive.

Proper W ashing Adds to Life of Silk Stockings

Does your silk stocking bill cut a large hole in your budget? There's 10 reason why it should. If you buy stick stockings carefully and follow the rules the experts have laid down, they will give you more than your money's worth. One way to lengthen the life of silk stockings is to wash them before they are ever put on the foot. Another rule the experts insist on is to wash the soiled stockings after each wearing, the sooner the better. Perspiration is not only hard on their delicate colors, but it destroys the elasticity that enables the fine threads to give under pressure and spring back without tearing. Perspiration and soil also weaken the fibers through chemical action. The secret of washing silk stockings successfully is to use plenty of frothy suds ,and luke-warm water of an even temperature for washing and rinsing. Turn them iiside out before washing and do as little handling as possible. If the stockings have stubborn spots on the ankles or are splashed with mud, plunge them into another batch of suds, but try to avoid rubbing. Rinse at least three times in luke-warm water and squeeze out as much moisture as possible by rolling for a moment in a rin towel. ever hang silk stockings in bright sunlight or over a abn It is best to place them flat on a Turkish towel to dry afterstretching gently lengthwise and smoothing out the feet.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary ANY players are likely to be at sea as to the course of ac-

tion they should follow when their partner's bid has been doubled by an opposing player. A redouble, of course, shows general strength, the purpose being to snow up a light or “psychic” double, with the end in view possibly of penalizing a venturesome overcall, or at least telling partner (the opening bidder) that opponents may not venture too far. With many players, a bid of another suit over a double denotes weakness and fear that the double may be left in for penalties. Thus the weak bid is an effort to “spot” the hand. There still is another course open, when the responding hand holds great trump strength, and distributional, but not high card, values. That is the course followed by East on ‘today’s hand—an immediate Jump to game. ~The bidding was very fine. East’$ Immediate raise to four could not be misread. It did not show a hand of general strength otherwise a redouble would be in order, So when South, vulnerable, bid five diamonds, West knew that a bid of five spades was best ever: though he might go down one trick. North could not

could defeat five spades. The opening lead of the diamond king held the first trick. North shifted to the heart queen. West won with the ace. A trump was played, and won in dummy, then another heart was led and won with the king. A small heart was ruffed in dummy. Declarer returned to his own hand with a trump and led a low club to dummy’s jack, hoping that North held the king and queen of clubs to justify his double. North, of course, won the trick with the queen, but now had to make the unhappy choice, of returning a club, or giving declarer a ruff and a discard by leading a heart or a diamohd. The double, though justified, helped West to

Children are always interested in the regulation I. Q. questionnaires used by schools for grading purposes. Anything they have to guess gives a fillip to imagination and elevates pride no end when they get the right answer. There is a game that grownups play occasionally when a party begins to die on their hands. This is to describe a simple object in a room, not too apparent, and make the others guess. Astonishing, really, how unobservant most people are. Spurs Reading Interest

One mother deliberately set a bait to get her teen-age children to read some of the classics in the library She related a plot and added that the first child to read that story and identify it, could take a trip with her later on. She was fair and named a dozen authors, but those three read assiduously much of Shakespeare, Scott and Mark Twain, as well as other notables in literature, before Mary discovered that “David Elsmore” was the answer. Don't feel too badly for the others, because this is a versatile woman, and the losers were given other chances. Children love to guess, however, regardless of reward. On a rainy day, it takes no time at all to outline a few questions that are fair to all the children, regardless of age, based on school lessons past and present. Furthermore, it doesn’t hurt to

Camper W arned T'o Give Heed to Skin Cleanliness

To some people camping means roughing it with only the crudest equipment. To others, it means stopping at an organized camp resort with all the comforts of a firstclass hotel. But whether you camp at some such place or at one of the many in-between variations, the basic purpose is to live out in the open and in a manner as different as possible from the year-round

routine at home. If your camping trip is to be a success, however, you can’t let down on your usual standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Cleanliness of skin and clothing is more necessary than ever at camp when you're ex= ercising more than usual and your sweat glands are working overtime. Even if you must rig up a bathroom behind a tree for privacy, you'll need to wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and change to fresh underthings at least once a day. Regular shampoos are more important than ever when you're camping, unless you're willing to pay the penalty of an uncomfortable scalp and an untidy appearance. Feet too, need extra coddling in the way of soapy foot baths and clean stockings after hiking and other strenuous exercise,

Keep Skin Clean

The less clothing you wear next to your skin, the more necessary it will be to keep it clean, Garments that can be washed at night and be ready to wear the next day without ironing are your best bet for underwear and outerwear, A heavy sweater, sturdy shoes, and a hair band will compete your list of dress essentials. Even though you do the sketchiest kind of housekeeping at camp, you can’t be careless about food, dishes, or cooking utensils, Mood should be kept clean and cold. Dishes,

mops and food containers should be washed thoroughly with soap

and water and then scalded. In summer, milk and food particles decompose more quickly than ever and decomposed food means bacteria that may breed disease. Make sure that your camping site is clean and safe before you settle down, then stick to your standards of sanitation and youll stand a better chance of having a healthful as well as an enjoyable trip.

varound the eyes in the morning.

Since this kind of inflammation of the kidneys occurs most free quently in association with an ine fectious disease, doctors may wish to make an examination of the urine each day when children sufe fer with an acute infection.

Longer Study Often Made

They may also find it necessary to watch the patient carefully for 10 or 12 days after the infection has started, since it is during this time that the condition usually first comes on. If the condition becomes much more severe eventually there may be twitching of the muscles, convulsions and even delirium,

When the urine is studied under the microscope, portions of kidney tissue may be found in it, indicating the damage that has been done.

Tests will show the ability of the kidneys to carry on their work, If lowered efficiency of the kidney lasts long, there will be anemia and other signs of general damage to the body. Few patients die from this type of inflammation of the Kidneys, particularly if the condition is obe served soon enough and if appropriate treatment is given. Most children with this type of infec tion recover completely, However, there are some instances in which the damage may be so great that the condition changes over to the chronic or Sube acute form of infection of the Kide ney. Rest Is Advised

The doctor who treats a ati with this condition usually gi tain to cause the patient to go to bed and to stay in bed until the kidneys are functioning normally. The diet is simple and nutritious, The amount of salt as well as the amount of protein in relationship to the average diet usually is kept rather low. In severe cases the diet Is sometimes limited to milk or fruit juices for a few days. When there are signs of severe suppression of the flow of the urine it is sometimes customary to cause the patient to perspire freely or in other ways to get the waste materials out of his body. Of greatest importance. however, is the cone trol of infections. These must be removed if they are localized as in focal infections. In cases of infectious diseases, the most careful treatment is given, Furthermore, every possible effort is made to avoid the onset of pneu monia, since this may be especially dangerous to the patient,
