: Some Attention; Worst + Of All—Nagging.

' ‘By SALLY M'DOUGALL a Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, March 17.—When there is trouble in the love bower, |! women are the ones that usually|: take the floor and get the accusa-|}

tions started. But today, surprisingly enough, men—a crosssection of them, anyway—have dropped their chivalry . and oldfashioned reticence for the nonce to tell what they think women might do to make marriage more perfect. Their criticism and fiinger-point-ing comes to light in the Ladies Home Journal report of a survey in which men all over the land were asked eighteen questions. Added up, their answers indicate that 90 out of 100 men object to women slaving

away at jobs if the husbands are|:

able to support them. But 91 out of 100 think women should find jobs and earn their keep before they are married. Majority votes, though less emphatic than these, charge women with being naggers, jealous, spoiled, with giving too much time to interests outside the home.

Neglect Sense of Humor That’s the unpleasantly revealing

-. side of the report. For it indicates

WN a

. Lemaux Jr.

that while woman has been boosting herself to a place that lets some look down arrogantly on a mere husband, she has been too preoccupied with unimportant advances to cultivate the sense of humor that one would need to live happily with the average man, to see the funny side of his deficiencies, to let him be himself. And it indicates that the average man, with the old-fashioned pattern of female docility in mind, has about the same ideas his grandfather had about woman’s interests outside the home. - An accusation that. we think pretty serious in its implications charges the world’s better half with being less romantic after marriage than before. Sixty-two per cent of the men found that wives slumped into matter-of-fact habits that cooled the fine ardor with which the partnership started. That, girls, sounds like not playing fair.

Taken for Granted

Between the lines one can read resentment, chagrin and disappointment at the very idea of being taken for granted, treated like a reliable old plug, instead of having his self-esteem stimulated by the elation and excitement that used to enliven a rendezvous before the day when he solemnly promised, “With all my worldly goods I thee endow.” It isn’t that the women forget to be sympathetic in a practical way or keep themselves looking attractive. Most men didn’t complain on these scores. But that’s different from enlivening marriage with the romantic flair that keeps the partnership from bogging down to a humdrum jog. : Facts to take to heart from the male answers are that a husband likes the .spouse to demand kisses and exciting attentions long after the honeymoon is a memory; that a good companion is twice as desirable as a good cook, that a husband appreciates a talent for homemaking, that nagging and jealousy are more serious faults than extravagance, that most wives can be trusted with the handling of money. Compliments Run Out What lets a good man down is to have the wife’s compliments run out when something goes wrong, to see her bright eyes grow sullen at the] sight of him, as she meets him with

' the accusation that he forgot to pay

the electric bill and what about the telephone bill? Little things like that. And he, with his romantic hunger for warm {riendliness, calis it nagging. - It is plain, though, that for all their faults, men love them still. Seventy-five per cent of the men, including bachelors, regard marriage as the ideal staie, far preferable t< bachelorhood. That certainly tailics with figures in offices, where expcris keep card indexes of family troubles and reconciliations. Widowers, these figures show, hav: a greac record for geting married again and so have divorced men. Even if the late marriage was a let-down, hope springs eternal. The next one comes soon. A man needs someone to understand him and to think he is wonderful. The new wife will be sure to do ail that. :

Feeney Advises: Youth Guidance To Lower Crime

“Subversive and anti-American groups are not neglecting our youth, so why should the decent element,” Sheriff Feeney asked members of the Seventh District Federation of Clubs at their monthly. meeting in Ayres’ auditorium this: morning. In reporting a survey to determine the underlying causes for crimes by youth, Mr. Feeney said that in a large percentage of cases the reason is lack of decent home life and practically no guidance from the “so-called head of the family—the father?” Suggests Heroes as Examples

The speaker suggested several rules -for youth guidance in which he urged the women’s support to reduce “the crime problema of American youth.” Improved home conditions and church affiliation for every boy and girl together with community entertainment, especially in small and rural districts were advocated. “Encourage young people to join such groups as the Hi-Y, the 4-H clubs, the Scouts, American Legion and war veteran junior organizations or any other supervised youth movements,” he advised. § “Urge boys te emulate worthy heroes.” At their meeting last month, members of the Federation indorsed Sheriff Feeney’s ‘clean-up campaign” in Marion County,
