JANE JORDAN
- DEAR JANE JORDAN—We have been married four years and have one child. 1 have devoted my time and energy to loving and trying to make my husband happy. We never re had more than enough money 0 keep the wolf from the door. There always are collectors coming yet we have nothing to show for what we’buy except a little furniture and an automobile, neither of which 1s paid for. In spite of my husband’s faults I am madly in love with him, However, he thinks he is in love with another woman. At first I was. terrified at the thought of losing him bjit-after the first shock I was more orried for my Brvesr-od daughter. When I mentioned this to my husband he said he was almost crazy from the thought of ‘her. He isn’t sure that he.wants to give up his home so he wants to go along Just as if nothing were wrong. How can I go on living with him when
i know he is carrying on this other
ve affair? + Should I go on like this until he gets ready to choose between us? Or should I force him to choose now? I was determined to wait but I am almost sick from worry. I ~ Jove him enough to forgive and perhaps after -a time to.forget, it he should ask me to. T am planning to get a job to see if a little extra money would alter the situation. Do you think our financial situation would cause him to seek a diversion of this kind? When he leaves for work and ‘kisses me goudbye I feel renewed
hope but when I find evidences of
his other relationship it crushes my |§
What shall I do? DESPERATE.

Answer—Do nothing for a while. Of course it is hard to wait when you're torn with fear and anxiety, but it would be just as hard to make the break while you're still so. much in love with your husband. As it is you still have your own home and]. you're still married. Unless you can definitely improve your situation by leaving, why. do it?
Your husband isn’t completely out of love with you even if he is having an adventure with someone else. The 'chances are that your jealousy and misery are quite flattering to his vanity. The element of revenge has long been recognized in extra-marital affairs. When a husband feels that his value has declined in his wife's eyes, he often presents her with a rival to show her how attractive he is. No one can ask you to put up with the situdtion patiently, a willing mat under the feet of your husband. You have a right to express your objections and there’s no sense in asking for punishment. However, it is futile to make yourself unattractive by shrewish scenes or tiresome tears. 1 do not know whether ‘it would improve the situation for you to earn money or not. If you want a job. as. a safeguard against the future for yourself and child, it is your privilege to get one. On the -other hand your child is very young to leave in the care of] others, and her welfare should be your first concern. JANE JORDAN.

Woman's Viewpoint— ‘Lasting Peace Depends Upon Faith in God’
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer SOMETIMES DOESN'T the world seem like a vast insane asylum? Its people are beset by delusions, and the most misleading of them is the idea that a 'defeat of the axis powers will bring peace. War has never y et accomplished that aim. Unless E. we act with discretion, valor and integrity in time of peace, there can never be international amity. What we do ncw, in the way of fighting, producing, sacrificing, will accomplish nothing if enough people of the allied countries refuse to accept with equal courage those sacrifices which peace also demands. The first move in post-war planning should be an -effort to rediscover faith. Exactly what do we want, and what do we believe? The chief reason for our present confusion lies in our lack of spiritual anchors. A nation founded on a belief in God now veers toward the attitude, of the axis countries— themselves—where: veneration of the state prevails. ; ® ” ” ” WITHIN THE MEMORY of the parents of ‘boys in the service, there has taken place a breakdown of
religion which, to my mind, constitutes the major catastrophe of our time. Churches, schools and homes have lost ‘their 4duthority over the young, primarily because we have substituted success for principles. But people go to church, you say. So they do. Which means nothing unless they make their faith a motive for living. There is noble talk about the brotherhood of man, but does not its attainment rest upon a sure belief in the fatherhood of God? There can be no brotherhood if we! do not recognize some central and divine power from which our aspirations spring. We burn now in ‘a great crucible.

‘Will our faith in God be reborn in the fires, or will we come out pallid creatures who put our “trust in slogans and machines? Upon that question, I think, will depend the future course of history.

Keep Lye Away From Your Children
By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer A STEADY, ALARMING increase in the number of children made desperately ill by swallowing lye and other corrosive chemicals is noted by doctors at Duke university hospital, Durham, N. C. From what doctors in other parts of the country have told me, these tragic lye burns of babies are by no means limited to North Carolina. The story, as the doctors at Duke point out, is nearly always the same. Someone carlessly leaves a pan or bowl or milk bottle containing caustic potash or soda within reach of a child. The youngster’s curiosity or hearty appetite leads him to sample it.
Death, months of treatment in a hospital, or life-long invalidism are .the alternative fates for the toddling babies whose first steps may put them in reach of the | poisonous, milk-white solutions used |

= 2 ” THE MOST SERIOUS result of! these burns is that the esophagus, leading from the throat to the stomach, is closed by the burn scars, making swallowing impossible. The baby may starve to death, because he cannot swallow any food or even milk or water. He is also in danger of pneumonia, because the saliva he cannot swallow may be drawn into his lungs and cause inflamation. In some cases, the surgeon has to cut an opening into the stomach from the outside and pass a tube through it. Liquid nourishment can then be poured through this tube directly into the stomach during the period, often months long, while efforts are made to enlarge the esophagus ' sufficiently to receive food. Sometimes these efforts fail and the baby is doomed to a life of tube ‘feeding. In one such case I know of, surgeons at Johns Hopkins hospital succeeded in making a new esophagus on the outside of a girl's body, but such a feat is an ex-

Many Post-War Uses Seen for Nylon
Post-war application of nylon will probably range from evening dresses and men’s shirts to featherweight tents, scuffproof shoes, durable, easily cleaned automobile upholstery, rustless and stainless window screens and sash cords that should last almost as long as the house.
