GIVING IPATIENT RESEARCH

one of thegreatest things in life is- to be able to do the thing you have always wanted to do. And when that one thing you want to do will benefit your fellow man, it is a great joy and satisfaction to havethe time to do it without hav- ing to worry about making a liv- ing for yourself and your family. I have in mind. of course. our pat- ient research workers who are try- ing to find the enemies and then conquer them-cancer, heart dis- ease,' rheumatism and arthritis. high blood pressure with its heart and brain strokes.

For years our medical research workers have had to teach part of the time.in medical. dental and pharmacy schools and some have tried 'to practise their profession to make sure of a living. it is true that some research workers are assured of an income and give all their time to research. thanks to some wealthy citizen or to drug manufacturers. and. in the case of cancer. by cancer campaigns. Unfortunately. however. there are too many brilliant men and wcmen eager to give full time io research work who have to won: on a part- time basis.

3 A Gauging His interest Men's Gifts Good Indication” Of State Of His Affeciions

DEAR MISS DIX: We have been going together for scxeral year: Not engaged. but crazy about each other. We are in our very late 20's and I want to marry and settle down. He wants to continue this way indefinitely. He goes gallivanilng around with other girls, though I am still the best. etc. but not all. On.my birthday he gave me 'a

a beautiful present, though not as handsome and well chosen as the year before, yet he boasts of the money he is making and his future D1&n5- 1! the present episode significant? Does a girl have I chance by sticking to a- man and hoping that something will hit him on the head and make him realize that she is the girl that he want: to marry. or does he get tired and call it quits after a while?

REDHEAD

up ANsWER: I think a man's gifts are not only highly indicative of his sentiments toward a woman but that they are just about as good a pre-matrimonial picture of his character and disposition as she is every likely to get. Also. they are prophetic 01 the way he is likely to treat her if she marries him.

FIRST IMPULSES LAVISH

You can almost chart the coursetof in 'man's affections by his pre- senls. When he first falls in love his impulse is to lavish gifts upon the woman on whom he has let his heart. He is alert to gratify her every desire. His offerings are . chosen with an almost occult knowledge of her tastes and-wishes. And then as his romance wear. thin and he begins to lose interest in the woman. there is is gradually descending curve in the numberland quality of his gifts until it gels to the place where a man throws a check in his wife's lap at Christ- mas and on her birthday-if she has prodded him into I membering it-and tells her to got herself something "she needs.

So I think you. are quite right lnrecognizing that the falling off in your birthday presents indicates that your friend is cooling off in his interest, in you and that your little affair is about over. is lucky for you. For when a girl is hovering around 30 she has no time to waste on a man whose intentions are not serious. Evidently your friend regards you as merely a pleasant acquaintance. a nice little playmate, and that's all.

Which

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: What is your advice to a wife who wears her elf out trying to keep her house splck-and-span so that she has no tim or energy left to spend with her husband and children?

, . NEGLECTED HUSBAND

ANSWER: Cleanliness and order are virtues that can easily be turned into vices. and when they are overdone they can wreck in home much more effectually than slovenllness and dirt can.

A holne is primarily a place in which a family can take its ease and comfort and it becomes no home If it is turned into a sanitary prison in which everyone goes in fear and trembling of mussing up a pillow. or tracking up a floor.- or dlsarranging n bookshelf.

Yet all of us know women who make homes like that and who are such cleaners that they literally sweep their husbands and children out of the house into the streets. or clubs where they will not be continually told to hang up their hats, or pick up their papers. and, for heaven's sake, not to drop cigarette ashes on the rugs.

There isn't a man in the world who wouldn't rather have a good- naiured wife who was pleasant and comfortable to live with. and who had time to stop and talk and play with him. than to have a domestic drudge who worked herself to death to keep the front steps polished.

DEAR MISS DIX: We are a group of business girls between 19 and 22 years of age and we" would appreciate any information you can give us about how to spend our evening: after working hours. Please donlc suggest bridge. We are tired of it and want to find something more interesting. ' . ELSIE

ANSWER: Why don't you take up the study of some subject in connection with your work? .Get somebody to come an talk to you once a week about the technique of your job. Or Bet b l:r- from the library about your particular llne'and read them and discuss them. Doctors and lawyers, if they are any good or make any success. spend every hour they can spare reading andjtudylng their -profession. and working girls could pursue the salne plan with profit.

Cut off the leg- of an old stock- ing and stretch it over the new broom down to a short distance above the ends of the straws. This will prevent the broom from wear- ing out so fast. and at the same tkne provides better sweeping.
