4 JANE JORDAN—

Ie - je 3 " & RT £a a i P 3 DEAR’ JANE JORDAN—My husband works for a man whom I do not like.. His employer's wife does not care what she says to me and I go home and cry. I had a wa Blegsant disposition until they drove me to be irritable ang hard toward everyone. We had a disagreement recently and everyone took my husband’s part and slurred me. I never go any place, just stay home and cook for my husband and children. .I love my husband and do everything I can to please him, but because I get so angry at these people I take my own part and it makes them angry. . : “Sometimes they won't speak to me, and they tell everyone they {eel sorry for my husband for having to live with me. My husband and I get along all right when we are left alone. Would you let - them run over you? My husband has a good job, but Iidon’t think they have any right to.make me feel bad. | “I'm a Southérn girl and not used to these Northern people. I was raised to do all I could for everyone, but I'm losing my sunny disposition in this Northern snow. | PLEASE HELP. : 5 . 5 2 w= ....Answer—You would be happier if your husband could and would get another job -where you did not have to come in contact with the people he worked for. As a rule it is a good idea to keep one’s busihess and social life completely separate. Part of your anger comes from the fact that you are forced to take much from these people. because your income comes from them. : [| . In these days you simply cannot afford to'quarrel with your | bread and butter. A good job is something to be cherished. All ' of us who are in business have to get along with a few difficult | people. If is very trying to have our families take a dislike to our employers and thereby make our task harder than ever. | | . You can get along with your husband's employers by maintaining ‘a pleasant but dignified reserve with them. You can afford. to ignore the things they say about you. Those who were loved - | and petted by their parents, and brought up to expect brotherly love ' and hospitality from all their friends and neighbors, often are shocked by the hospitality and jmalice which they encounter outside the ‘family group. T2 bt This, I ‘believe, is your trouble. You were brought up to expect too “mich from others, and find your first real rebuff pretty painful. . You will have to accept the fact that it is impossible to be liked by everyone. I don’t believe that geography has much to do with your problem since human nature is about the same in the - South as it is in the North, and people hate each other the world over regardless of climate. : Your task is to stay as remote from your husband’s business relationships as possible and not to antagonize the people he works for. You need not be subservient, but you can conceal your real feelings. It is a mistake to let them know what you think about anything, particularly your husband’s behavior.. Why embarrass him by eriticizing him before others? You can reason with him in private, but it is bad taste to allow others to join in your domestic differences. ~ | | JANE JORDAN.

Care and Feeding of Husbands— Or How to Keep Him Heart-y Brides Advised by U. S. to Treat His Stomach

- Well Without ii pling Pocketbook.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (U. P.).—More marriages are ruined at the dinner table than at the bridge table! That was the warning given “Mrs. Average Bride” today by the Bureau of Home Economics -which still contends that the surest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. | The trick, the Bureau said in advising brides on the care and feed-

ing of young husbands, is to | treat his stomach well without in- | juring his pocketbook too seri- | ously. . The young bride will be fortunate this year in being able to | - obtain a wide variety of nutritious | foods at a reasonable cost, the | Bureau said. There will be in- | /ereases in the price of some items, | ~ but the housewife who markets wisely will be able to feed her family with no considerable /increase in the food budget. #2 8 a» . THE BUREAU selected “Mrs. | Smith” as a sample bride and | revealed what it told her about | foods: : “Let's take the case of a young " couple who are just starting -to keep house. Young Mr, Smith | sits at a desk all day, but he) comes home for lunch. He walks, back and. forth to his office and | does some. work around the house | in the evening. : “Mrs. Smith does her own housework and laundry. Neither | of them are doing hard physical labor, but they are fairly. active. Mrs. Smith is anxious for them io have a good diet, but at a mod-

erate cost. Their| marKet order each week should [include about: “Milk, seven quarts; potatoes and sweet potatoes, 52 pounds; mature, dry legumes and nuts, 1 pound; tomatoes and citrus fruits, 4 pounds; leafy, green and yellow vegetables, 7 pounds; other vege etables, 12 pounds; eggs, one dozen; lean meat| and fish, ‘6 pounds; flour and cereals, 6% pounds; butter, one pound; other fats, 1 pound; sugar, 2 pounds.” ! » # ®

WITH THIS AS their marketing order, said the Bureau, during the week each will have 10 to 11 || servings of potatoes and seven to || eight servings of meat, fish or poultry. They will have five 'to six servings of tomatoes and citrus fruits and 10 to 11 servings of leafy, green and yellow vegetables. ‘They will have six eggs apiece. Eeach day they will each have a pint of milk, a serving of cereal, dessert once or twice and bread at every meal. The bureau did not estimate the cost of the weekly food budget, but economists said it would average between $6 and $7. :

BEAUTY

| . > : NO CHIC WOMAN KEEPS right on using the same shades of ‘makeup year after year. She knows that skin tones tend to get slightly darker as one gets older, and she changes her cosmetics accordingly. '% : Face powder should match natural skin tones, and match them exactly. If you don’t buy your powder at a special makeup bar where mixing and matching are done before your .eyes, it's a good idea to try to get a sample of the powder you intend to buy, take it home and try it on in artificial as well as daylight. | To test for shade, powder only one side of your face. The powdered side will have a dull, smooth, mat finish, of course, but in color it ought to match the unpowdered areas. ti ; For anyone past 40, rouge should be the color the cheeks become after violent exercise or oi a rush of color to the face. ” = = t # ” “WHEN IN DOUBT, USE LESS” is a good rule for the older woman to remember. If she has to wonder whether she has on too much rouge, she probably has. nd it’s better to wear too little than too much. It's practically impossible-to get on too much lipstick, but it must be smooth with, no uneven edges and no blurred . spots at corners of the mouth. To make lipstick stay on for hours, first dry the lips, then apply the lip rouge. Let the color set for a minute and blot with cleansing tissues before moistening lips. .Never apply fresh lipstick over stale. Remove all of old color before putting on a new coat.

SELF-RELIANCE LESSONS URGED R

FOR PRISONERS

Klinger Declares That Mere Confinement Is Really No ‘Remedy for Crime.

“We must stop merely locking up our criminals for a few years and then turning them out possibly worse than they were before their imprisonment,” John H. Klinger, director of corrections of the State Department of Public Welfare, said today. a Mr. Klinger’s division is responsible for the supervision of all penal and correctional institutions in Indiana. It also is charged wit keeping a close check on the lives of more than 1800 former prisoners of these institutions now on parole.

~ Walls Needless for Some

- As to strong prison walls surrounding all the prisoners of an

institution, that idea has become

somewhat antiquated, according to Mr. Klinger. : “In a survey conducted here se¥eral years ago made jointly by the Indiana State Welfare Department and the Prison Industries Reorganization Administration, a Federal agency. it was found that only 39 per cent of the adult male prison and reformatory population required maximum security custody, or in other words, confinement at all times behind a wall of the type at the Indiana State Prison and Reformatory,” he said. Through a classification committee the division of correction determines whether the | under consideration is a maximum, medium, or minimum security type.

95 Per Cent Released

“Since more than 95 per cent of our prisoners are ultimately released from our institutions, they must be taught the value of citizenship, selfreliance, responsibility .and work habits before they are returned to society,” Mr. Klinger said. Rehabilitation of the criminal and intelligent decisions in regard to his parole are two of the objectives of individual case studies which are being made of each inmate in state correctional institutions. In some cases, Mr. Klinger pointed out, it may be enough to teach the offender a trade at which he can make an honest living when he is again released. For others, it may be necessary to adjust a delicate home ‘or matrimonial situation, while for others psychiatric treatment for a mental condition or a personality

. For example, take the case of the little old lady on the South Side. She had a hemorrhage one day and her doctor said it couldn't be stopped. Her neighbor refused ‘to give up hope and telephoned the Fire Department. They'd heard about Capt. Townsend and his rescue ‘squad. z Capt.

He will also get a $92 monthly pension from the Fire Department. He and his wife have converted their home at 4316 E. Washington St. into a double and intend to rent it.

Until Nov. 24, 1937, when he was transferred to Truck Co. 25 because of ill health he was on’ every emergency call in Indianapolis during his hours on duty. Capt. Townsend originated the idea of having the rescue squad carry temporary splints for injured persons. Previously it had keen unable to relieve the suffering from broken bones until the accident victim reached a hospital. He designed and built the splints himself. His squad was awarded the first medal given by the Bruce P. Robison Post 133 of the American Le- | gion in 1934 for outstanding rescue work. His squad had been doing such
