"Just to think of Lb! fa.-In-homes sway off by them- selves in the fields. makes me feel sorry for their families. How lonely they must be on an evening like this!"

We had given up our studying at the time, but still seated at the table before the window were idly watching the wind-blown snowfall. It had started quietly at noon but by this had developed into a blizzard which at times gave us dim out- lines, if any, of the homes across the street. The afternoon had been gray and now the twilight was drifting in prematurP1Y '0 4””

Duke Signals To iBurpi Baby

MASTERTON. New Zealand, - (UP) - The Duke of Edinburgh showed .a New Zealand woman how to burp her baby today while his wife, Queen Elizabeth II. was making a speech.

The baby began crying while the Queen was speaking at a civil reception. The Queen raised her voice to drown out the racket.

The Duke. father of two small children, was sitting behind the Queen. He began making motions to the mother. who was holding the baby in her arms. At first the mother did not understand. But finally she put the baby over her shoulder and patted its back.

The cries died down into quiet coping. and the eyes of persons around the baby were turned back to the Queen.

When we read or speak about

storm mo id be sweeping down upon it mm the eastern hills in, blinding drifts to heap the sur- roundings whitely. But the farmer wou.d take care to have his chor- ing done before dark on an even- ing like this. Perhaps even now.i as we looked out upon a cllvy street, he was, making his way to the house.

Indoors the supper would be spread. the lamps lit to shut out- the storm. Only the sound of the wind about the caves and iossinil snow against the windows would, remind one of it. How we shculdl like to be one of the family there! this stormy winter night, to eat, of that ”homely fare," and then to. be among the companionable group of parents and children gathered about that hearthflre.

"Oh it's not like that." we said, "A snowstorm in the country can be lovely-if there is no one ill and no one abroad. It does bring a certain sense of isolation, but ftls a pleasant one which seems to knit the members of the family into a closer kinship-a self-sub ficient unit, 1 would say."

Today in the first blizzard of the winter, we at this place suf- fered little in our isolation. True on account of it. the mailman wss unable to bring us the mall. And as 8. precautionary measure the chiidren remained home from their classes. But the farmers went about their customary rounds and were ggeaislly pleased with the shelter and conveniences afforded by thi new barn.

our one concern was that Iomll high gust of wind might deprive In of our telephone service or that energy upon which we have come to depend for time, radio. light . . . and of greater moment than these on a day like this. the water for a hundred needs.

But now the storm spends itself along the snowy yards and fields. The morning will bring I new. and we are promised, a fairer day.

We do not rerid or speak about low blood pressurn so much because it is not so dangerous to life. What we should remember is tlhal, low blood pressure is really a sign of ill ilefllbh. that we need more pres- sure behind our heart and arteries to curry the blood with its nouri:h- ment to all the tissues of the

In the Boston nu r.-bur of Medical Clinics of North America, Dr. W-il- ter Judson status that m-iint-.iiu- mine a good or normal level of blood pressurn depends on lul tho strens-,th of the heart muscle to pump blood throuizih the blood ves- sels and lb) a tightening or nar- rowing of the blood vessels to make iesistance to the flow of hlood which means that the heart muscle must be strong to force the blmd through those narrow tightened vessels.

The various conditions which interfere with normal or sufificferit blood pressure are a. decrease in the strength of the heart muscle it- self. and something interfering with the tightening of the blood vessels so tihnt they do not put up enough resistance to make heart pump harder to send the blood through them. The heart dom not need to be strong to pinup blood through lax or relaxed blood ves- sels. This lack of tightness or re- sistance of the blood vessels which lower the blood piremurc is caused by complex diaturfbances caused by the emotions in many cases and by true or organic disturbance of the nervous system. certain drugs, and acute infections.

When infection is present, the blood pressure goes up at first but after a time the heart muscle be- comes weakened and the nerves and muscles of the blood vessels also become weakened and so the blood pressure l- omos low. o1'tena.mld- dle-aged individual. when told that this blood pressure is like that of one aged 20, tmlnlcs that is a sign of health and that he is not really as old as his years.

The individual with low blood pressure is easily fatigued. does not resist ordinary fllnmea and I simple infection of nose, throat or bronchfalftlubes may "hang on" for a long time,

Woman Think3;;:I.Be Beiier OH V. Away From Man. In Another City

DEAR MISS DIX: Four years ago I began going with. Lew. simnly after, vie set up housekeeping as man and wife. Previously. Lew hnd his own apartment and I had mine. Since we've been living iogrtlicr he's never offered to pay any part of the living 6XP9n59'5' that all comes out of my salary. He has never mentioned marrying inc, though he had been married twice before. The unsettled situa- tion has finally gotten me so discouraged that I plan to start. all over in another city. I have no family. neither has he. We are hnih in our early thirties. so should be able to know our own minds, but every time I try to solve the problem, it seems to get more intviivcu. e ty

ANSWER: That's the difficulty with problems; at close range they alvtays appear insoluble, or in maze-like confusion. From any possible angle with which your difficulty is faced, the answer is the samv: break up with the man and get. cut on your own again. pre- ferably in another city. Morally, the setup is wrong--a fact you ap- parently recognize quite well. Practically, it's futile; you are having all the financial responsibility of your manage, with none of the security of a wile.

LIVING ON PROMISES

You're living on day-to-day vague promises, or,commltments. not one of which will materialize. When you tell Law that you're leaving. he'll probably make a fuss. promise anything-even marriage--to keep you. Why? Because he likes being supported, naturally. In your quest for a home, love. companionship. to take the place of the fam- ily life you never had. you hit upon the worst possible solution-in fact. upon a situation that is no solution at all.

Make the break: salvage your self-respect; salvage your money. too. since supporting only yourself will be much cheaper than main- taining a home with a man. The newenvlronment of adother town will help immeasurably in bolstering your morale, and I'm sure you'll meet new people who will be an improvement over your present company. Don't continue your present living conditions any longer.

I have admitted doing exactly what he blamed me for, so he would forgive me and at least we could begin all over. This works for a while. then he starts again with his accusations.
