A correspondent, whose middle name ls probably Miss America, wants to know why when a man goes to marry he picks out a homely

girl, instead of a raving beauty, for a wife. munity the Plain Janes are hotfootlng it

She says that in every com- to the altar, while the Liv-

that ii you will give an eye to any assemblage of wives, you will per»

ceive that they

were not married for their looks.

And she wnnts to know why this is thus.

Well, there

are many explanations for this

phenomenon, the most obvious being the unpre- dlccabillty of man, who has one set of theories that he swears by and another that he lives by. Every man in the world believes that he is a devotee of feminine beauty and that he worships at the shrine of Venus. The first question that a man asks about a strange woman docs not concern her intelligence,

or her disposition, or her character. “Is she pretty?"

Ellen ’s Diary

And again in the your’: turn, wo-havfcome to Remembrance Day-a day w-hioh comes to revive sad memories in many an Island homo-sad, yet withal proud. Not that today of all the year recalls them, when everywhere and for- ever to loved ones and friends such memories are undying. We talked of this one afternoon last Summer, a war-bereaved mother and I, or rather she talked of it. It was my privilege to listen. A bit, haltingy she spoke of it that lovely Sab- bath afternoon. Thc peace and quiet of the day comes back to me now. I remember the roblns busy in the old birch near-by, tend- ing their hungry cares. They were about the only creatures busy than for all about us there on the lawn. ay the drowsy, peaceful hum of Summer. Odd cars were on this ‘oad of ours, and I recall now there were folks about the pond and dam -not so much to fish, I suspect as to enjoy, with their children and friends a brief outing ln the coun- try, for as we had said “they're

And I suppose it had been that my ‘thoughts were wandering to those about the pond, that I said: "Isn't it lovely that war days are past and absent ones have been re- united with their familles —and can be so happy together again?" My visitor nodded and than she said, with a long sigh, which held much longing and n-hint of a tear "but not all came back, Ellen — not all who marched away." There was a silence, when I considered those lads. for three wars remain \ividiy - and darkly in my mem- (ry.

James W. Barton, M. D.

THE ILACKWABD CHHJ)

A youngster who was doing ly at school was found by the school physician to be short-sighted and slightly deaf. The eyes were fitted with glasses, and blowing open the eustachian tube a few times cor- rected his hearing. The ermbarras- sed parents. who bad come to the conclusion that their child was "slow" mentally, were naturally greatly pleased.

Sometimes a low or slow infec- tion, thin blood, lack of sleep, poor appetite can lo affect the general health that the youngster is inattentive at school and brings home poor reports.

However. i! after careful playaicol and mantal examination, parents nnd that their child 1a slightly be- low normal mentally. they should not be discouraged. Not only have many such children nloe disposi- tions, but much can be done for them mentally so that they can take a. place in the community and earn a fair living.

First, the child mould reooivo an intelligence teat or mat: which can be obtained free or at little coat from schools, welfare agencies. de- partments of health and mental hygiene clinics. The result o! than teat-l which are "ential. enab- les the parent to decide just what todo with the child. Ifheia "almost" normal, he can continua at. school, but be a little behind thooa of his age and la given more manunl than msntal trairung. If he in Just middle grade mentally. ha can perhaps go throudi the third grade in ochool.

If the child in low grade. he rhould not be sent to school ll thin will discourage him and perhaps spoil a naturally sunny disposition. The school teacher can but decide whether the child can receive bene- fit from the teaching at school.

- The ham treatment and are has much to do with what will hap- pens to real feeble-minded children in the years to cane. Much inform- ation about‘: backward child and hi: training can be obtained by writing to the National Mental

GOOD WORK PLAN llClI-T OI‘ I018!

Wise expenditure of energy is the secret of the lorono and un-

ﬂllltﬂéd I-Pnesrance that marks

the poised woman.

A check-up on your daily rou- tine will reveal how well you budget your energy expenditure.

Do you organize work in sliml- mte waste motions. If’ you do. this means that you use efficient equip-

ment that you gather tools for. specliic tasks before you start to,

work. Arranging work details in sequence and aliottmg enough time to complete the job at hand are other motion-saver‘

Do you balance daily housework between light and heavy tasks. Houseclaaning, for example, makes heavy demands on your precious supply of energy. Don't try to clean the whole house in one day. I.‘ you clean in the morning, plan less strenuous work for the after- noon-sewing, mending. making out menus and marketing lists.

Do you allot time for one or pre- icrabiy two rest periods during the day. Stretch out for a few min- uiea in the late morning and again in tho afternoon.
