Take Boom Pay

‘With Grain of

Common Sense

By RUTH MILLETT

‘WHILE NATIONAL defense is responsible for holding up a lot of marriages—those of draftees and boys anticipating being drafted in the near future—it is. also directly responsible for a boom in marriages. There wasn’t any chance for Mary and Joe to marry — unless the defense industries started up. Joe didn’t have steady employment and Mary, untrained, could not have earned more than a few dollars a week if she could have found work to do. Now Joe has a job in a defense plant and is making more money than either has ever seen before. So they are marrying. If they can just remember what things have been like for themsduring the past five years, they will look on Joe's big weekly pay envelope as a mighty good thing, but something not likely to last forever, or even for more than a very few years.

AND THEY will gear their living accordingly. Even a year ago they would have been delighted te be able to get married and live in two rooms, see one picture show a week, forgetting worries about not having & car. To : If they can just keep that picture in mind, and not improve on it too much when they set up - housekeeping now, they can really make this period a time for getting ahead and getting themselves established as a family unit— rather ‘than doing as sa many in ~ their position are now doing, spending every cent they make on extravagant living, and going into debt for things still beyond their reach. 7 If Mary is smart she’ll even figure how to get a course of training that L. will fit her for a job out of the 1 money that is coming in now. t 2 t 4 8

THEN IF HARD TIMES come suddenly, she’ll be able to help with earning a living. Also, | shell see that the things they buy actually make for better living, not just for show. If they entirely forget what life was like even a year ago and spend every cent Joe makes without any thought of the future, |they may find that going back to |little after throwing money around is harder even than having little m the first place. Of course, they may to go back—but they -. ing their marriage on a. er foun- , dation if they assume they will— until time proves otherwise.

BEAUTY

‘THE OTHER DAY WE heard a young career woman say: “I'm too tired after work to do anything, even to go to the movies with Jim.” The trouble there, and the trouble with many women who feel listless and even weak, is that they do not relax completely even during sleep.

One of the best ways to gain strength is to rest, and exercises can help one to relax and rest. If you're one who needs rest, try these exercises: Stand with arms hanging loose at sides. Shake arms loosely at shoulder points so that fingers, wrists and forearms shake independently. Do this for a minute.

Now bend forward with knees bent slightly and spread gpart, arms hanging down loosely. Shake arms again and at the same time rock the shoulders from side to side. One minute.

Lean on a bed or against a wall with right hand, raise left foot off floor, and shake it loosely from the hip joint. Reverse to right leg. One minute. Stand with feet two feet apart, left foot in front of right foot and bent at the knee. Raise right arm to shoulder level. Suddenly, completely relax right arm, letting it drop. The arm will not stop at your side but will sway several times. Reverse position of legs and do the exercise with the left arm. Do this ten times with each arm. ss = =

STAND WITH feet aboufy, 18 inches apart, knees bent a little - lax muscles of abdomen and lower back, and muscles of the waist, permitting the upper body to drop forward. It will sway as the arms did in the exercise above. Try this ten times. Lie on the back, legs straight, arms at sides. Close your eyes and imagine yourself getting heavier and heavier. Think of yourself getting heavy enough to sink right through the bed or the floor. If you do not succeed in this at first, practice it with your attention concentrated on various parts of the body separately. Do this for 10 minutes. You'll be surprised at the result—at the end of the session you will feel much freer of that “tired feeling.” If you can master this last exercise, you may discontinue the first five— you will have learned to relax sufficiently to be sure of real rest when you lie down and when you sleep.

| Jordan who

DEAR JANE JORDAN:— I am at a loss to know what to do. My fiance is a wealthy. doctor. He comes in contact with many women. I have paid no attention to this until recently. A young woman has seen him frequently and I overheard some other doctors saying there was nothing wrong with her. She is the siren type and I do not trust her. I saw my fiance with her at the club the other night when he said that he was going to a conference. Tell me what to do. UNHAPPY 2 ” 8 ANSWER—If you're going to be a doctor’s wife you’ll have to get over being jealous of his women patients or you'll be miserable all the time. What hurts you now is that you believe the man lied to you about the way he was going to spend the eve-

ning. It is possible that he planned to see the woman whom you saw with him. It also is possible that he met her accidently after the conference he mentioned. At least you can give him the benefit of the doubt and hang on to your confidence in him until he has proved he isn’t worthy of it. - If your relationship with the man you expect to marry is as good as it should be you can ask him outright to explain the incident without making an unpleasant scene, and if the explanation sounds phony all you can do is wait a while and see if something similar happens again. So much depends on the character of the man in question. What has his life been in the past? Has he fallen in and out of love many times or has he been stable in his relationships? You have not given me the slightest clue to his character and T have no way of knowing whether he deserves your confidence or not. Apparently you don’t know yourself. Therefore it is wise for you to do nothing hastily. Further events will tell you whether your fears are based in reality or not. Whatever you do don’t marry until you know. '

orm DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 18 and I go with a man 25 who is in love with me but I am not in love with him and won't ever be. I am in love with another young man of 19. I told the other ome about it and he says I will never live to enjoy that love for he will kill either me or the boy. Will you please advise me what to do? f J 2 2 . Answer—Why should you go with a person. who threatens you at all? The sooner you break away from him completely the better. " NOTE TO TOM—No, your condition isn’t hopeless. If you really want to be helped, this is the first

| Your Health _

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer ue DO NOT KEEP poisons in the family medicine chest. If you must have some poison in the house, have a special place for it where no child can possibly reach it and where you yourself are not likely to take it b mistake some night when you are looking for a cough medicine, "The medicine chest itself should be out of reach of children, because even presumably harmless medicines, such as laxative pills, can make a child desperately sick if he takes many of them. The candy coating on such pills has leq more than one tiny tot to swallow dan-

_|gerously large doses of these pills.

If you must have a cathartic or laxative in the medicine chest, bet= ter ask your doctor to recommend one. Epsom salts, citrate of magnesia, castor oil, mineral oil, or mineral oil with agar are on the family medicine chest list of one medical authority, but your doctor may not advise any of these. 88 8 : THE MEDICINE CHEST should have some first aid equipment such - as adhesive tape and bandages in various widths. These are inexpensive and the bandages usually come in packages that are germ=free until opened. A scissors, 8 foun= tain syringe, a clinical thermometer for taking temperatures, an ice bag and a hot water bottle, an atomizer for spraying nose and throat, a graduated medicine glass and accurate measuring spoons for measuring dosages of medicines are other useful supplies that belong in or close to the medicine chest. Tincture of iodine is a standby antiseptic - ‘for cuts and ; wounds of the skin. Keep the bottle tightly stoppered so the alcohol | does not evaporate, thus making the concentration too strong. Sodium bicarbonate or baking soda is found in most medicine chests along with some headache remedy. Aspirin is the least dangerous of these, according to one. authority, Aromatic spirits of ammonia, vaseline, & good burn ointment:-and boric acid about replete the list of medical supplies needed except for such special medicines as ‘your ~ physician may prescribe. :
