she starts telling them about the many men who have broken hearts over her. She doesn't show her best self and my friends think I've picked a lemon. They know she isn't popular and her conversation makes her look silly. Can I stop her doing this?

~ : FRANCES E.; Indianapolis. You could stop her but you'd hurt her and maybe end a friendship. She isn't trying to cure your bad habits or these of your friends. No doubt you all have some.

You're making your daughter's entertainment too formal. Her crowd is informal—you bore them. Did you want your parents hovering in the parlor when you had company?

Your intentions may be fine but they won't inspire your daughter's confidence. Nagging, distrust and discipline won't win her. You'll have to inspire her confidence through good fellowship and respect. Make yourself attractive and interesting—make her proud of you, Show that yeu trust her.

FLYING BOXCAR—Britain's new type of freight-carrying air transport, the Miles M.68, does away with unloading by means of a detachable hold, like a boxcar, fitted with road wheels and towin bar for use as a road trailer. Within a few minutes of landing (top), the freight container (arrow) is removed, attached to a car (middle); and driven away. Another container can be fitted into its place. But if there is nothing to pick up, the rear fuselage is moved forward, and the four-engine plane can fly home without the freight hold, as shown at bottom.
