NUMBER OF HOME ACCIDENTS DECBEASING

some months ago a cartoon de- pleted a chap lying in bed tele- phoning for an airplane ticket for a 500-mile trip. After securing his reservation, he read in the paper about a bad airplane accident which had occurred the day be- fore. He immediately called the air office and cancelled his reser- vation. He then called the railroad office and obtained a berth on the sleeper leaving that night. Read- ing still further be read of a rail- road acci:icl'.-L in which several people had been killed. He called the railroad ticket office and can- celled his reservation. He then read of a large ship running on a rcck with several people drowned so he cancelled his ship reserva- tion and decided to remain at home. To his dismay. he read from the figures of a large accident lir- aurance company that more ac- cidents c:cur in the heme than on air. sea. or land. so hc called the air office and cbtaincd his reser- vation again.

What about accidental deaths in the home? It is only too true that more accider.-ial deaths occur in the IICIIIE than anywhere else. but we learn that for the past few years the n;in:bcr of accidental deaths in the home has been de- creasing.

In the Statistical Bulletin. Met.- ropolitan Life Instirance Company. we read that. in view of the lame toll of life exacted each year by' accidents in and about the home. it is encouracing that progress has, been made in rcdilciligz, the death. rate from such mishaps. In thel past 15 years there has been a drop of 40 per cent in the ag.e-.1d- justed death rate from home: fatalties at ages 1 to 74 among. their policy lioldcrs.

During the war years the de- crease ln children's deaths from home accidents was not as large as for adults. as youngzsters werel deprived of the care and attention which they normally receive. r

Why are home accidents de- creasing?

The Bulletin states that the. home is beccminc modernized.i "Marked improvement in lighting; cooking and heating equlpmen-ti are good examples." F r lnstancei the death rate from urns and scalds among girls and women is. now less than half of what it was 15 years ago.

Woma: Refuses To Let Son Marry

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a man 85. living at home with my widowed mother. who is a middle-aged woman in fine health and fl- nanciully independent. My trouble is that my mother insists that I must never marry. but must always stay with her. Every time I have ever gone with a girl the has had hystorics over it. Now I am in love with a splendid young woman and we want to be married. but when I try lo talk the matter over with my mother she works her-

. self into a passion of fury and cannot abuse the girl enough. I love my mother very much am' want to do everything I can to take care of her and protect her. but I also love this girl and the loves me. What can a man. who is an only son. do under the circumstances and still do his duty all around?

ad j x.

W. P. L.

SHE HAD HUSBAND

Your mother married when she was young. She had the happiness Of llavmil her own mate. her own home. her own child. She must have -found these experiences very sweet, rince the clings with such lennclly to what is left of them. and that makes It almost inexplicable that she is willing to deprive you.of them in order that her way of life may not be broken up. Certainly no real mother love could ask such a sacrifice of you. Nothing but self-centered egotism prompts it. No one believes more than I do that children should honor their fathers and their mothers and show them every proper respect and consideration. But when parents impose unjust conditions upon their children and demand needless sacrifices of them, I think the children should refuse to submit to such tyranny. just as they would to any other oppression. Being A parent gives no one a right to wreck their children's lives.

So my advice to you is to go on and marry your girl. no matter how much your mother oppose: it.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am ii young married woman very much in love with my husband and very happy. except for one thing. I have a lot of friends who are always telling me how wild my husband was before we were married and how many girl: he went around with. and they are always advising me to watch him and be careful. and telling me that he is n phllanderer. And this makes me very miserable. No man could be better to a wife than my husband is to me. He is to tender and considerate and never wants to go anywhere without me. and says I am the only woman he has ever really loved. Don't you think I should believe him instead of my friends? And what can I answer to them when they say these thingl?

BROKEN-I-IEAIITED WIFE

ANSWER: Tell them up and down to mind their own business and that you don't care who was your husband's first love lo long as you are his last.

If you are wise. you will break off all relationships with these cons:-ienceless and unscrupulous women who are deliberately and CPUEHY lelllng out to wreck your home. You will lose nothing in los- ing them for they are no friends of yours. They are the worn me. miss you can possibly have. And lay this truth to heart: Never be. lleve any story that is calculated to hurt your feelings that anyone brings you. They are virtually always lies. Anyone who in mean enough to be willing to make you unhappy is mean enough to make up the tale.

It In a strange thing that any woman in the world could be heartless enough to plant ausplclon of her husband in a young wife”: heart. or to come between them and wreck the happlneu of a home.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a boy of 17. Last week my mother passed away and ever since then I have changed. I don't care for the things I uled lo. and I have lost interest In my school work. I have tried to amuse myself, but everytlilnl fella net. I had planned IO many things for my mother and father and now It In all gone. when can I do to get rid of this gloomlneu and restore the ambitions I

had? A. A. S.

ANSWER: The death of one we love leaves us all like that. with the light gone out of the world and life flat and tntelen. Mei-cl. fully. time numb: our pain and our interest in our old pursuits re- vive. but life is never again the same. There is alwayi the old son.
