JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I have been married five years and a half and have three children. My husband and I quarrel all the time. He is the type of person who thinks a woman should stay at home constantly and let him go out and do as he pleases. I have found him drunk with other ‘women, but I try
sake. Sometimes I nearly go crazy worrying about him. He seems ashamed to take me or the children any place. I only weighed 97 pounds when we were married and now I weigh 159 pounds. I don't see why I should be so heavy as I don’t eat enough sometimes to keep anyone going. My husband always is making fun of me because I am fat. Fle never buys me anything decent to wear. I love to dance but he would rave
dance. I wish I could lose weight
and maybe he would not be
ashamed of me. He has been fond of other women ever since we were married, and he seems to despise the children. Could you help me with my problem? LONESOME.

Answer—If it were only a matter of your weight I could help you for anyone in good health who eats a diet free from fats, starches and sugar over a period of time is bound
spasmodic attempts to correct one’s eating habits bear no results, but
does bring results. The trouble isn’t so much your weight as your attitude of what’s-the-use? Can you face the fact, without too many hurt feelings, that your husband is selfish and you are sloppy, and that you can improve your life together only by working together toward a better attitude? Somebody has to make a start and since you are the one who has asked for help, let it be you. - You can try pleasing your hus? band as you did in the beginning. You can try attitudes which may bring forth a less selfish response in him, There is no easy, magical way in which to make him into a considerate, co-operative husband, patient with you and three little children. Marriage is a job in adjustment and under such circumstances it is a difficult job, full of discouragement. Few people have an easy berth in life. . Most of us have to work hard for good results, and so will you. JANE JORDAN.

A WASHBOARD propped up in bed sounds a little like the early stages of a Rube Goldberg cartoon. It isn’t, though. A washboard, with the addition of a pillow, makes an acceptable backrest for a bedfast patient—even if it is on the impromptu side. The “washboard trick” is but one of many homespun comfort ideas taught in the home nursing classes conducted by the Red Cross. The students learn how to whip up a flaxseed poultice, héw to improvise a croup tent from materials found at home, how to ‘make a bed when the patient is in it. They learn how to ‘take temperatures, to care for babies, to
diseases. Most important in these days of doctors-gone-to-war, they learn how to help the doctor. Instead . of calling him at midnight, they can make a patient comfortable umtil the physician arrives on his regular round of calls. Not since pioneer days has the woman of the house been so relied ‘upon to look after the health of her family. Hospitals are sending patients home early. Nurses have enlisted in government services. Housewives are being urged to prepare themselves to take their places as well as they can.

MANY WOMEN who enroll for first aid courses believe they will receive instruction in caring for
their families’ health. But, while"
the courses overlap in some fespects, they are not identical. Both cover treatment of burns and scalds, for instance, but the first aider doesn’t find out about poultices, croup tents or backrests made of washboards, suitcases or bridge tables. Because it is dramatic and dangerous and identified with the war, first aid has attracted more students, but home nursing is equally important, and in terms of immediate use, is more vital. In the normal run of family life, there are more occasions for taking temperatures- than for applying splints, and it Js for handling the more numerous crises that home nursing is de-

Home, Doherty Sheerin, Charles H. Smith and Matthew Winters and Miss Marie D’Andre. Wherever a group of approximately 20 students is formed and requests an instructor, Miss MacDougall sees that one is provided. The only requirements are that
ning water, sanitary facilities, two beds and mattresses, a blackboard and a bulletin board. Classes may be held morning, afternoon or evening, and Miss MacDougall says there is an increasing number "of night classes —for employed women and for housewives who must wait until Dad comes home to mind the baby of evenings. 2 ” ” THE LOCAL Red Cross chapter relies exclusively on volunteer instructors for the classes—unlike the chapters in many large cities where there are some full-time paid Instructors. Miss MacDougall is proud of
graduate nurses to act as instructors. At present an instructors’ refresher course is being given at the Y. W. C. A. and the nurses who have volunteered will be added to the more than 100 already registered. In December, when the number of classes reached a peak of 73 at one time, there were 56 instructors at work. In addition to the instructors trained to handle classes here, Miss MacDougall says that several rural counties have asked that nurses from their districts. be permitted to attend the refresher courses. : The more classes there are, the happier Miss MacDougall will be.
Legislation Is Discussed By P.-T. A.
Several bills introduced in the legislature and which affect the program of the P.-T. A. were discussed yesterday at a meeting of the state board of managers and legislative chairmen of the Indiana Congress of Parents and Teachers at the Claypool hotel. Mrs. Robert Shank, legislative ‘chairman, spoke on senate bills 38, 40, 47 and 61, which affect the juvenile courts. “These bills, if passed,” Mrs. ‘Shank said, “will destroy much good that was done in the last legisla‘tive session.” Mrs. Shank said that house bill 128, concerning peral and correctional institutions, will be opposed “because it sabotages the merit system.” The free text book bills have not been given support nor: were they requested by parent-teacher groups, acco to Mrs. Shank. She favored house bill 209, which would provide an appropriation for and restoration of the state attendance office. Pian Convention . Special speakers at the meeting were Mesdames Austin Clifford, Walter S. Greenough and S. N. | Campbell and Robert H. Wyatt. Mrs. Frederick G.

Of all the figure® problems on the silhouette chart (and there are literally dozens of them) the most common one of all is the one concerning the roll of excess flesh or the “spare tire” at the waistline.
It is more common than practically all other problems put together and it is not, factually speaking, a figure problem at afl. No woman has a spare tire at the waist when. her corset is off; any woman including the slimmest, can have one when her corset is on! The figure itself has nothing to do with it; the corset has everything. One of the main reasons why this problem is so prevalent is that many slim women, unused to fighting any figure problems, have a “spare tire” but can’t understand why they have it and don’t know what to do about it. On the other hand, larger women, aware that they have definite figure problems, give thought to the foundation they wear and nine times out of 10 solve the “spare tire” problem along with their other figure problems.
The truth is, a shim’ woman should give just as much thought to her foundation as a larger woman, but she doesn’t. She knows she’s slim; she doesn’t think she ‘needs much control. Another thing, most slim-to-average figures wear a girdle in preference to an all-in-one. Now, no foundation makes a woman slimmer, in reality, than she really is.
. | It merely flattens her down, in the
right places. And the right places are always the hipline and the “tummy” line. Now, the girdle fits snugly at the hips as it should’ but often stops t%oo abruptly at the waistline where it shouldn’t. The flesh that the girdle has smoothed away from the hips and the tummy line must go somewhere. The too tight, too short girdle simply pushes it up, out of the girdle at the waist where it makes an ugly ridge, spoils the linear beauty of even the most skillfully cut costumes; makes even the slimmest woman look fatter than she is.
