Women’s Guild Will Lunch Thursda,

her in any way, but I am afraid if I marry this man she will never forgive me. He loves me and says he will do all in his power to make me happy. Do you think I'd make an awful mistake by marrying him? I hate to give him up. I love my mother, too, and I'd hate to hurt her but I do want to get married and have a home of my own. Please tell me what you think I ought to do.—~UNDECIDED.

” ” ” Answét—I do not know whether you should marry the man or not but I do think you should be: the one to decide and not your mother. A woman of 29 has every right to marry if she wants to and it is not necessary for her to pick a man who suits her mother. It is wrong

for a mother to tell a daughter of any age that she must choose between her mother and the man she wants to marry. To face a mature woman of 29 with such an ultimatum is ridiculous. There may be reasons why a marriage with this particular man is hazardous. The fact that he is divorced and has three children to support may well give you pause. If your mother had put the facts up to you and allowed you to make up your own mind without threatening you with the loss of her love, we could respect her. But the way she puts it makes one suspect that she doesn’t want to part with her daughter at all, or that she is overly ambitious for you and sets a goal impossible to achieve. Look back ‘over the past. What has been her attitude toward men who were attentive to you? Was she encouraging in her attitude or did she drive them away by one method or another? ‘If you examine the facts very likely you will find a long history of maternal domination which has been most unfair to you. It is important that you break it whether you marry this particular man or not. After all your marriage is your own business and you do not need your mother to help you pick out a partner.

her children. We never have hurt] #

Dr. Aldrich, the physician’s tolerant attitude toward the childish mistakes of a baby will not be completely bene- | ficial unless he can implant this same tolerance in the minds of the child’s parents. “If, for instance, we merely minimize the importance of some ‘childish mistake’ in behavior,” explained Dr. Aldrich, “we are not living up to our possibilities in helping the child over this rough spot. In addition, it is desirable to .point out that such behavior is normal for that age, rather than that it is an excusable slip. . = = -

DR. ALDRICH BELIEVES that an expectant mother should have it explained to her that she did not make and never ‘will make her child, since before and after birth, he will grow according to the hereditary laws of his species, race and family. During the first year, the doctor should, at conferences, point out ahead of time each month the steps which the child. will take before the next conference. First, there is the newly-born status, which can be described to the mother immediately after she leaves the hospital; here the child has reflexes which are primitive and compulsive and without thought. Next comes the smile, which is the first voluntary act and the real beginning of the desire and the ability to socialize with others, Third comes the stage of vocalizing from within, Then, in this order come the following: Head control, whereby the baby. holds his head up to demonstrate his

Sugar & Spice

And Other Things Nice Adequate for Cake-Baking.

| By EMILY C. DAVIS Science Service Staff Writer . WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—There are plenty of spices and sweets |available for America’s Christmas \cake-baking this holiday season. But you may “go American” to ‘some extent in your fruit cake mixing and the Department of | Agriculture suggests featuring watermelon rind, grapefruit and cranberry. \ Conveniently for United States’ | spice supplies, major spice sources are tropical lands that still send us cargoes in spite of war. The bulk of our spices and seasonings are normally imported, commerce officials point out. Checking your fruit cake’s making: cinnamon is apt to come from Ceylon, India or Netherlands Indies. Cloves are mainly from Zanzibar and Pemba, British protectorate islands off the East African coast. We get nut‘megs and mace from Netherlands Indies and British West Indies and from Spain when that country can send them. Latin America has been venturing ahead in growing some spice, but a good deal of the growing is what agriculturists call “exploratory.” 2 8 8

CITRON FROM MEDITERRANEAN countries may be scarcer in our shops and that is where American fruits step in. The De-. partment of Agriculture suggests substituting for citron candied grapefruit or other citrus peels, or preserved watermelon rind, all good and easily made at home. Maraschino cherries from Italy no longer reach America, but some are sent from Spain and we prepare some in this country. An American substitute is the candied cranberry. Federal food specialists say that cranberry, citrus and watermelon ingredients in cake are economical. As for nuts, molasses, dates and raisins for the cake, American agviyiire is supplying those, as usual.

“IF EACH STEP in this progress is pointed out in advance by the pediatrician,” observes Dr. Aldrich, “parents are not likely to feel that they teach or: make their children accomplish any of these desirable attributes. ° “The role of ordinary development puts them in a frame of mind which makes them able to see that later on in childhood the same sort of processes will work, gradually maturing the child through progressive, imma- . ture patterns until the adult status is reached. : ' “This attitude should immeasurably assist us in such problems as will inevitably arise as to obedience, discipline, educational progress, right and left handedness, and last of all the adolescent problem.” : : | Reading, writing and arithmetic will be mastered only when the child is mature enough to handle these

Woman’s Role

In Democracy

.A denial that defense work by ‘women would weaken family ties was to be voiced this afternoon by

dent of Stephens College, Columbia, Mo., when he spoke at the December meeting of the Indianapolis Council of Women in Ayres’ auditorium. ———— “The American home will be stronger, not weaker, after the war emergency,” he was to say in speaking on “Woman’s Role in Democracy.” “Women will return home with a practical appreciation of their responsibilities as citizens and they will be better qualified to teach their children what it means to live in a democracy.” Dr. Wood was to concede, however, that there are “grave pitfalls ahead” for the American home. These include the growing army of nomad defense workers whose families live in camps and trailers, placing family life at a disadvantage; the scattering of families caused by removal of some to work in distant cities and the drafting

the postponement of marriages unavoidably resulting from operation of the draft.

Consumer Aid Speaks

“Some women,” he was to warn, “will be loath to return to ‘the humdrum of domestic existence’ and these must be made aware how vital is their work at home in building a strong. democracy.” “But I don’t believe the American home is doomed. It may be a new type of home, but women will continue to draw the blueprints.” Following a business meeting this morning, Miss Dorothy I. Cline, re-

sumer Division, Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply, talked on “The Consumer and Defense.” Her speech was followed by a 12:30 p. m. luncheon.
