g Guilt Causes
Renunciation
By Lawrence Gould
WOMAN'S WORLD
Will a man “renounce” a girl he really loves?
Answer: Yes, if he has an exag-
gerated sense of guilt which drives
him to deprive himself of happi-
ness. Under such conditions, the
stronger his love, the surer he will
be to find some plausible excuse
for giving her up, since what he
fears most of all is what he thinks
will make him happy. But the
average man who tells his sweet-
heart that he cannot marry her
because he is “unworthy of her”
is more often trying to deceive her
—or himself. He really is afraid
she represents a standard which
ha is unwilling to try to live up to.
Could children grow up without
homes?
Answer: No, writes Kate Fried-
lander, British welfare worker, in
the Journal of Mental Science.
For a child’s conscience develops
out of his relations with his moth-
er, and he must have constant
contact with her during the first
six years of his life if he is to
■ learn to transform his primitive
instincts into useful and effective
patterns of behavior. “The devel-
opment of an ethical code that
will be strong enough to govern
the individual’s future actions is
dependent on the existence of
family life,” and nothing else can
replace it.
m
Does seeking “perfection”
prove high standards?
Answer: No. It shows that you
are morbidly afraid of being criti-
cized, either by others or by your-
self. What makes your standards
so high—and so rigid—is that you
don’t dare to leave the tinest loop-
hole in your defense against largely
imaginary accusations. The woman
who cannot bear to see a speck of
dust in her house does not really
love cleanliness; she’s afraid of be-
ing called a “bad housekeeper.”
And the man who cannot finish a
job because he “can never get it
done to satisfy him” is the victim
of a similar fear.

Today's Host Amazing Medicine
By Dr. James W. Barton
PHYSICIAN thinks
past 10 years, you

would naturally believe he would
have in mind the wonderful work
of saving lives now being done by
penicillin and the sulfa drugs. Dis-
eases that were practically all fatal
and others in which but a small
percentage recovered, are now suc-
cessfully battled by these antibi-
otics, as they are called, because
they kill the organisms which for-
merly caused death. Two other an-
tibiotics, streptomycin and aureo-
mysin, have been recently added
to man’s defenses.
It may come as a surprise to
many to learn that your physician
is thinking more about the blood
coursing through your blood ves-
sels as he realizes—as he did not
realize just 10 years ago — that
blood is today’s most amazing
medicine. “It has become more of
a miracle worker than penicillin.”
In a pamphlet, Blood’s Magic For
All, issued by the Public Affairs
Committee Inc., a non-profit,
educational organization in
New York City, Alton L. Blakeslee
states that blood already does more
lifesaving jobs than any one of our
wonderful drugs. If, on a single
day, you looked in upon the hos-
pitals in one large city, you might
see the following:
A surgeon, in a brain operation,
packs a soft, white spongy mass
into a wound. It quickly stops the
bleeding and he leaves it there.
The body will gradually absorb this
sponge—fibrin foam—because it is
made from human blood. He covers
the exposed brain with transparent
plastic film. This film, made from
blood, stays safely till the body
manufactures a new covering.
In the accident ward, a quick in-
jection of a clear liquid, human
serum albumin, made from blood,
saves a dying man from shock.
In the delivery room, a new-born
baby is being given a complete
new blood supply to halt a possibly
fatal battle caused by Rh anti-
bodies in his veins.
A boy who is a “bleeder” is given
an injection of a blood product that
enables him to have diseased teeth
removed.
HEALTH NOTES
From April to November of 1947
total of 72 patients with tuber-
ulous meningitis were treated at
le University of Athens. All nine
atients who didn’t receive strep-
imycin died, whereas of the 63
rho receives injections of the drug,
1 survived. The earlier the treat-
ment the greater were the chances
f recovery. “Early,” in this Case,
means within the first 10 d^ys fol-
mwing the onset of the attack.
TF YOU’RE Mrs Average Home-
maker, you walk more than 8,000
miles each year in your kitchen
alone, say domestic science ex-
perts. That’s equal to a cross-coun-
try hike from New York to Cali-
fornia, so it’s no wonder many of
you are interested in saving steps.
However, an efficient kitchen that
saves steps is not the only reason
you may want to change the kitch-
en. Perhaps, like many homemak-
ers, you want more storage and
more pleasing working conditions.
Color as well as beauty and ef-
fective design have been added to
our new kitchens. When carefully
planned and executed, they can be
as lovely to look at as the most
beautiful living or dining room.
And what a joy to cook meals in!
Add Colors to Kitchen
When Decorating
There was a time when kitchens
were white with just a small
splash of color. They may still be
carried out in white because, nat-
urally appliances and cabinets are
white, but that's more reason than
ever to add colors where you can.
What about using a deep pink or
a lovely coral or strawberry color
on the walls, and spiking this with
some delicate greens? The greens
can be used in some simple, solid
colored curtains or rough-textured
cotton drapes appropriate for the
kitchen.
Powdered blue is also a very

Plan Working Areas
For Kitchen
To get the most good out of
your kitchen, plan to have plenty
of table space for working areas.
These should be planned so ..there
is a working area on either side
of the sink, on one ■ side of the re-
frigeratorj and on both sides of the
range.
Then when you cook, wash dish-
es or mix foods, you may choose
your working area at the range,
refrigerator or sink, whichever
you are utilizing.
Space such as this may be ob-
tained from cabinets with good
working areas. Above each work-
ing area you may plan to have cab-
inets, each containing the utensils
or supplies needed for your work.
Select Streamlined
Kitchen Cabinets
One of the latest innovations for
the kitchen is a streamlined ver-
sion of the kitchen cabinet. Recog-
nizing the utility value of this tra-
ditional kitchen furnishing, today’s
designers have brushed away at-
tic dust and given this unit a
smooth fit for the most modern of
homes.
This modern version of the
old-fashioned kitchen cabinet is
designed with an eye toward
kitchen beauty as well as high
utility value. It holds supplies
both on the shelves as well as
pots and pans in the cabinets
below the large, pull-out table
top which can be used as a
preparation center.
Designed as a complete unit with
shelf space, vertical and below-
counter storage space as well as
table-top working area, the mod-
ernized version of the kitchen cab-
inet can be made into a supply
and food preparation center for
any phase of kitchen operations.
The cabinet is ideally suited, for
example, as a center for all pre-
oven operations. Equipped with
overhanging and base cupboards
and a large pull-out table top work-
ing area, the cabinet keeps all neces-
sary baking materials, including
pots and pans, within arm’s reach.
In the overhanging shelf area of
this type of cabinet, you may store
spices, dried fruits, confectioners’
sugar, vanilla and other ingredients.
Frequently, a built-in flour container
and sifter is included as part of the
cabinet itself.

For efficiency and beauty.
Ample below-counter space ac-
commodates mixing bowls, double
boilers, measuring cups, pie and
cake pans. Baking ingredients and
utensils can be brought together on
the table-top working area with
plenty of space left over for the
electric mixer and even a colorful
cannister set.

May a Man be Convicted
Merely On His Own Confession
—If There is No Other
Evidence Against Him?
A dancer went to the district at-
torney and complained that she had
been criminally assaulted by a cer-
tain young man. The youth was
taken into custody, and, after
lengthy questioning, he confessed
the crime. Howevet, by the time
of the trial, the girl withdrew her
accusation and the young man re-
pudiated his statement. Thus the
only evidence the district attorney
had left was the defendant’s origi-
nal confession. The court promptly
ordered the prisoner-released. The
judge said that a confession alone,
without any other evidence, is not
enough basis for a conviction.
Does a City Dweller Have a Right
To Keep a Cow in His Yard?
A town council passed a “cow
ordinance" forbidding residents of
certain neighborhoods to keep cows
on their premises. The first per-
son arrested under this law was a
man who had kept two cows in his
back yard for 14 years. In his de-
fense, the man insisted that the
law was unconstitutional. The
court did not dispute the virtues of
cow’s milk, but held the law' valid
anyhow. The judge in the case found
the man guilty.

Use Efficient Storage
Plan in Wall Cupboards
As every woman knows, you can’t
put things behind a closed' door and
just expect to get them out in ap-
ple-pie order. Why waste time hunt-
ing for utensils and supplies when
you can plan an efficient storage
system?
Use the higher shelves on wall
cabinets for dishes and supplies
which are not used too frequently.
Keep those things, in constant use,
on the lower shelves on wall cup-
boards.
If you have limited cupboard
space, why not get one of the new
racks that can be attached to the
inside door of the cupboard? Use
it for spices, flavorings and food
color.

KATHLEEN NORRIS
Real Advantages Lie in Home
1JETSEY WILSON of Portland,
Ore., is one of those mothers
who struggle and strain, sacrifice
and suffer to give their children
costly advantages and overlook
the much greater advantages that
lie close at hand, with no cost at
all.
“David, my husband, and I are
miserable over a serious disagree-
ment about the children’s educa-
tion,” writes Betsey. “He considers
me extravagant because my one
prayer and hope for them is that
they may have more education and
more culture than I ever had. We
have a good income and we also
have almost $100,000 in the Victory
bonds his mother left us.
“Let me tell you what some of
these so-called extravagances are,”
the letter goes on. “My three
younger children, two boys and a
girl, are in nursery schools that in-
clude luncheon and naps. The older
girls are in a less expensive private
school; they have as extras music,
a play club and ballroom dancing.
Both go to a Saturday skating
club and of course all this includes
incidental expenses of trips and
clothing.
“My plan is to borrow the neces-
sary five or six thousand a year
from our savings, restoring it as
the children grow older. We were
both underprivileged in youth,
David and I; he, consequently has
been a passionate student all his
life, and I take out my old hunger
for advantages in hopes for my
children. Do you think I am justi-
fied in this plan?
Culture for Children
“I want my children to know cul-
tured people, and have nice friends.
I want them to be familiar with
music and languages, sports and
social usage, and I will sacrifice
anything and everything to this end.
To what better use could David and
permit the coatless to enter would
soon bring those with sleeveless
shirts—and even, .the, shirtless!’.’
Thoughtfully, the judge added:
“Besides, a man’s coat is usually
the cleanest of his garments!”
. . want them to know culture . .
I possibly put our money?”
Well I’ll tell you, Betsey, to what
better use you could put that hand-
some nest-egg. Leave it where it^
is, in Uncle Sam’s hands; it couldn’t'
be safer. And begin to add to it.
Before you know it, David’s in-
come won’t be so large or so
steady. The girls and boys will be
scattered, and whether or not you
bought them dancing lessons, tennis
rackets or a dozen changes of
pretty clothes will not matter and
will not be remembered.
That’s the time when you and
David will want a small house, a
garden, a cocker spaniel, a car,—
and independence, independence,
independence! You don’t want then
to be living with the impatient
young wife of David junior, or to
have to murmur to Margery, “Dad-
dy must have a hundred dollars for
his teeth, dear.”
Demands Will Grow
You’ll never add anything to the
vanishing bank account, if once you
begin to gnaw at it. Don’t deceive
yourself. In 10 years the children
will want far more than they do
now, not T'-ss.
So during this long vacation be-
gin the Great Upheaval. Most lives
would be much better for an over-
hauling and a great upheaval now
and then. Put the children into
public schools, and if the public
schools are not fine enough, help
to make them finer. Gather a few
friends around them and find a
friend of your own who will give
them all dancing lessons in your
house, at the cost of a few sand-
wiches and bottles of pop, every
week.
Children dance naturally, . and
they have so much fun learning to-
gether and teaching each other that
it is a shame to send them to life-
less and completely uninterested
teachers at $6 an hour. Put them on
a dress allowance, and buy them
much less expensive clothes.
And don’t forget that school of
all schools, the family dinner table;
and that power of all social power,
good manners. Good manners are
only gentleness and consideration;
your children will learn them in no
better place than at the home
table.
Perhaps you haven’t been bring-
ing Dad into the conversation
enough. How much do the children
know of his boyhood, the mistakes
he made, the lessons he learned,
the things he had to do for his
mother, the big fish he caught on
that camping week that cost him
just $2.13?
How much do they know of you,
and the reason you have for want-?
ing them to have more than you
had as a girl? How interesting can
you and Dad make local school and
sport politics during the dinner ta-
ble conversation.
In other words, what priceless
privileges of companionship and
sharing, mental stimulus and happy
family amusement are you losing,
while you run madly after dancing
teachers and gym teachers and
psychiatrists and fashions?
You give them everything they
need for happy, successful lives
when you give them the priceless
possession of sound character. Gen-
tle manners, intelligent interest in
what is going on, trained help in
handling household work and home
finances, hospitality that they can
afford—can handle themselves.

Living Cost
Remains Up
Many Factors Count
In Principal Causes
NEW YORK.—What is holding
the cost of living up, when the price
of basic raw materials has fallen
so far since last fall?
Commodity prices, at wholesale,
have retreated since then about
half-way back to their O.P.A. levels,
on the average, but the cost of
living has dropped back only about
one-eight of the way. However, the
average weekly wage in factories
is about one-twelfth of the way
back.
The recession so far adds up^ to
this:
Producers are getting consider-
ably less for many raw materials—
but not all. It costs almost as much
to live as it did last year and the
workers’ average pay has been only
slightly touched.
Roughly, the same factors that
retarded the cost of living’s pace
upward in the months when whole-
sale commodities were soaring are
now acting as a drag as it slip^
slightly lower.
Between June, 1946, and January,
1948, wholesale commodities went
up at a dizzy pace. The cost of
living climbed steadily, but more
slowly. Between Janyary and Sep-
tember of last year, commodities
as a whole were on the downgrade,
but the cost of living still edged
upward. Since then the cost of
living has receded, but much more
slowly than prices have fallen.
Rent controls and price absorp-
tion by processors and retailers
acted .as a drag on the cost of
living on the upgrade. Braking
the decline of the cost of living
now are: ^ents, as high and ap-
parently going higher; the normal
time lag between retail and whole-
sale price changes; continued high
labor costs; continued high taxes;
and, of course, substantial profits.
On June 15, 1946, the. index, in
which 1926 prices are 100, stood- at
120.65. By January 15, 1948, it had
reached 207.61. It was back tc
186.41 by September 15, 1948.
