A railroad traveller paid for his
passage to a distant city, but the
clerk of the depot accidentally gave
him a ticket good only to a nearby
town. When the train came to this
town, the conductor insisted that
the passenger either get off or pay
more fare. The man flatly refused.
At last, the irate conductor dragged
him bodily out of his seat and
nodded her head. The court
cided the wedding was valid.

claims that she simply can’t meet.
She loves Dick, but she didn’t ex-
-pect, in marrying him, to have to
give up all other loves completely.

■
A sluggish liver and gall bladder
cause gas, and gas pressure causes
pain. Constipation is another com-
mon cause of pain in the abdomen.
The reason a cathartic, like cas-
tor oil or Epsom salts, is danger-
ous, should appendicitis be caus-
ing the pain, is because a cathar-
tic stimulates so much movement
in the intestine and this extra
amount of movement may cause
the appendix to rupture. A ruptured
appendix causes peritonitis, usually
fatal.
When a pain occurs in the lower
right side of the abdomen (which
may have started higher up in the
stomach a few hours before) and
remains in the appendix region for
an hour without shifting elsewhere,
call a physician at once.
In previous days it was not un-
usual for patients to be transported
to a large city for an operation,
which meant delay and a greater
chance of rupturing the appendix.
Today, the “nearest” hospital has
surgeons capable of removing the
appendix in minutes.

When the ankle or any other joint
is sprained (not just strained), the
injured part should be placed in
hot water and kept hot for an hour
at a time until swelling disappears.
The joint then should be bandaged
and placed on a chair if the patient
is sitting or on a pillow if lying

staying single than a Cripple should
be blamed because he “won’t
walk.” There is no worse marriage
than the sort in which a girl has
forced herself to take a husband
she does not love “so as not to be
an old maid.” Single life is infi-
nitely better.
Answer: As a rule they have quite
normal children, and what level
of intelligence these children attain
depends upon the conditions under
which they are brought up. In the
Journal of Genetic Psychology, Dr.
Harold M. Skeels and Miss Irene
Harms report the continuing suc-
cess of the “Iowa Experiment,” in
which children with “inferior so-
cial histories” were given for
adoption to superior foster parents.
Though in many cases one or both
of the children’s parents were rated
as “morons,” the children have
average intelligence or better.
A policeman was summoned into
a cafe to arrest a drunken patron.
The officer told the man to “come
along,” but the drunk just sat
there motionless. Angered, the
policeman snapped a handcuff on
the man’s left wrist and then or-
dered him to lift his right. When
the drunk stubbornly refused to
comply, the officer slapped him
three times on the face with his
This is the most promising view.
But very often the picture is far
darker than this. Dick wants to
help handle the business of his
bride. He knows of investments
that will double that comfortable
income of hers. She mustn’t be
afraid, women are all too timid,
she can make herself a very rich
woman. What can Mother say? “I
married you, Dick, but I have no
faith in your judgment.”
So she goes to the bank with Dick,
and Dick takes her to a champagne
lunch and assures her she has
shown good judgment. And that,
many times, is the end of her
money, and often the children’s
money, too.
Letters aren’t often as childish
as the one I quoted in the begin-
ning of this article, but all women
have a way of bringing arguments
into line when they plan the deep
injustice to their children that a
second marriage almost always in-
volves.
And if this is the case in what
Mrs. Wiggs called a “sod” widow,
it is doubly the case when it is a
“grass” widow who is concerned.
Then children’s delicate nervous
system may be actually destroyed
by the palpable efforts of Mother
to show that he does love them.
Only she has to love Uncle Dick,
too, and Uncle Dick isn’t always—
quite—well, you see, darlings ---.
The darlings don’t see anything
but one complicated, nerve-racking
mistake piled on another, for the
excellent reasoh that that is what
the situation becomes. With no chil-
dren, or with motherless children
needing her, or perhaps with one
grown child, the experiment often
is a success. But with girls of 12
and 7 and a boy of 10—well, no
sensible woman need go out of her
way to invite that sort of trouble
into her home.

that death has taken away. They
will not recognize the simple truth
that one happy marriage is more
than the normal allowance, that
their memory of Tom and his ten-
derness has been softened and
exaggerated by time, and that
their chances of finding a real mate
in this sort of a risk are not one in
a thousand. Loneliness and vanity
and hope rise triumphant over all
arguments, and every year we can
all count among our friends the
widows who want to try again.
In all this, their children are the
first victims. Mother has told them
sweetly, pleadingly, that they must
be nice to Uncle Dick who is going
to come live with them, and take
Daddy’s place. And for awhile how
As soon as he was released, the
man sued the officer for using un-
necessary roughness. The officer
insisted that he had a right to “get
tough” in such cases, but the court
decided that he had gone much too
far. Denouncing his action as “a
vicious exercise of brutality,” the
COME YEARS AGO the physi-
— cians and surgeons of Phila-
delphia made a determined effort
to cut down the death rate in ap-
pendicitis. Within one year they re-
duced it to less than half of what
it had been.
How was the death rate reduced
by more than one-half in this short
time?
These physicians had learned
from their own experiences three
definite truths. First, that the soon-
er the operation was performed the
better; second, that no food should
be given; and third, that no pain-
killing drug should be used until
the cause of the pain was found not
to be appendicitis, as this drug
masked or hid the symptoms.
When a pain occurs in the abdo-
men, even as high up as the stom-
ach, many think that a dose of cas-
tor oil or of Epsom salts is the best
treatment, as it clears away poi-
sons or wastes. This would be good
treatment in most cases but for the
fact that appendicitis is such a com-
mon cause of pain in the abdomen.

Princess Style Suit
Also Favored
The short girl who tends to be
somewhat plump will probably
want to choose one of the many
princess styles which are being
shown extensively this season. This
will give her the long, unbroken
lines which her short figure needs
to make it lok dainty.
The princess styles come with or
without straps, the latter in a very
cleverly styled boned bodice.
Colors chosen should be solid so
as not to break the figure and thus
make it look shorter. If there’s
a desire for some decoration, you
can get this in neatly by choosing
a suit that is ruffled in a contrast-
ing color on the bodice and on the
skirt.
Mature figures show off to best
advantage, not in a full skirted
suit but in a fitted suit, preferably
wool.
Suits are designed for all mature
figure problems, some giving more
support than others, depending
upon what each figure needs.

Answer: Far from it. We get the
idea that it is from the fact that
when we are little, our mothers
appear to give us more affection
when we are sick or unhappy, but
to try to win someone’s love after
you have grown up by making
him sorry for you is a serious mis-
take. If he feels you’re blaming
him, he’ll hate you for it, and if he
does not, you'll ultimately bore
him. The English psychiatrist, Dr.
Laura Hutton, truly says that “In
the long run most of us are at-
tracted by happiness in others, not
by unhappiness”—or “hard luck.”
Before buying swim suit.
wool and lastex suits that not only
help mold the figure to better lines,
with their control built right in the
suit, are an invaluable aid to the
girl who needs some support in her
suit.
Intense colors are favored in
these suits as well as in other
clothes, although you can still get
them in black, white and navy, if
that’s your choice.

WIHEN SUMMER COMES around, |
V% many women gaze with dis-
may at the figures and say, “I just $
can’t plan to wear a bathing suit
this summer.”
There are some figures, of course,
which a bathing suit cannot dis-
guise, but then neither can
clothes. However, many of the new
bathing suits are designed to do a
lot for the figure, whether it’s good
or bad.
Don’t discard the idea of wearing
a suit because of some figure faults
which can be much minimized
by a good suit.
Trying on a suit is the best way
of deciding just what each one
does for you. Just as in buying
dresses, several mirrors that give
a view of different angles, can help
you to decide on the most effective
suit.
Young and Slender
Choose Two-Piece Style
Those who have a good figure
that can stand inspection may wear
the two-piece suit. The figure
should be flat and firm because the
midriff which is bare cannot hide
flabbiness in the waistline.
Two-piece suits are available in
many styles and colors; and they '
have become a real favorite with
women who like to get plenty of
sun. They’re comfortable to wear
and the styles are stunning, pro-
vided, of course, you have the fig-
ure for them.
Rayon knits are cooling and are

RHEUMATISM?
HERE’S GOOD NEWS!,
'I
AM 36, widowed and with three
- children, girls 12 and 7 and
a boy of 10. My 12 years of mar-
ried life were ideal. Gene left me
comfortable and the children are
fine specimens. My mother died
five months ago, and since then I
have been bitterly lonely. I am
writing to ask your advice about
marrying again.
“I wouldn’t be asking your ad-
vice,” continues this very odd let-
ter from a Texas woman, “if I
knew whom to marry. But I don’t.
This town has no interesting free
men in it. I have played about oc-
casionally with men I wouldn’t or
couldn’t marry, and have found
no satisfaction in nightclubs, danc-
ing, and shallow relationships of
that sort.
“Do you know, and can you put
me in touch with, two or three men
anxious to marry a handsome, well-
fixed woman who loves a good time,
keeps a comfortable house, and
needs a sympathetic companion?”
And “Dot,” to call her that, goes
on with a list of the qualifications
she would expect in her new mate.
He must be 40, he must have ex-
ceptional references and he must
like a good time.
Selfish, Inexperienced
It is incredible to me that a
woman so placed could be as com-
pletely inexperienced and childish-
ly selfish as “Dot” reveals herself
to be in this letter. I answered her
personally, and at once, but I
haven’t much hope that my very
forceful warning will have any
effect.
My reason for quoting her letter
and her problem lies in the rather
pitiful fact that, every year, thou-
sands of women deceive themselves
with the fond thought that a second
marriage will give them the hap-
piness, the dear companionship

Grateful to Showman
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. — This
city went all out with a three-
ringed din kept up several days
in honor of the late Phineas Taylor
Barnum, the legendary showman
who in the distant yesteryear said:
“There’s a sucker born every

From early afternoon into late
evening, the music blared, the ban-

women and children frolicked and
danced in scores of streets, in com-
munity houses and in the armory
at the Big Top Ball.
All this was a reminder to young

program proclaimed, did for
Bridgeport what a catalyst does for
the chemist—start all the good re-
actions and bring about the desired
results.
It was Bridgeport’s first annual
