ei uier I Spoiled Wife Sulks l-ier Way inio Domination DEAR. MISS DIX: I am a man S0 years of age. Married five years. No children. During the last four years I have had the care of my wife's parents constantly and part of the time otherof her relatives and because of this have been unable to assist my own wido\vcd mother and sisters. My wife is pretty, sweet and attractive and as long as things movoalong her way everything is lovely, but when she is crossed she goes into the sulks and our home becomes a place of misery. When I go to see my mother it takes her two weeks to recover from her peeve. Last winter I started a course in night school, but had to give it up .. as she objected to it in order to keep the peace. Recent- ' ly I again suggested night school and at this time we are merely on polite speaking terms in consequence. What lhlll I do? J. W. B. ANSWER: Well, you have to decide first whether you are going to be a man or a mouse, whether you are going to assert your own independence or meekly sub- mit to being walked over by a petty domestic tyrant. There are a lot of men in your fix, son, who are afrpld of their wives and who jump every time wife speaks to them. Of course, they are cowards, but I don't know that you can blame them overmuch. They get so much fighting cut in the world they don't feel equal to coming home and having another battle, so they just give in and let \vife roughshod over them. They are for peace at any price, even if the price is- their manhood and their personal liberty. But, believe me, a man makes a mistake when he surrenders to his wife. 1n the first place her tyranny grows by what it feeds on and the more you let lier domineer, the more she will, until finally she will not allow you to have even an opinion of your own. In the second place, while she will rule you with a rod of iron, she will have con- tempt for you for letting her do it. No woman ever really loves the man she henpccks because she doesn't respect him. And in the third place. you will inevitably come to hate her yourself. No man ever yet loved his jailer. So my advice to you ls to read the Riot Act to the lady. Don't sneak off to see your mother. Go openly and above-board. You know that you should go to night school and improve yourself. Don't consult her about it. Simply put. on your hat and go. If she.passes into the silence and won't speak to you. just let her sulk. Don't. try to win her out of it or make any attempt to cheer her up. If you won't notice it she will quit, because, to be effective, a grouch needs an audience. DOROTHY DIX DEAR MISS DIX: I agree with your theory that a girl might keep a boy jealous. but only to a certain extent. It is all right some time, but not all the time. I and a lot of other boys would like to know what you think of this. JACK ANSWER: You've got me wrong, Jack, if you think that I advo- cate jealousy in any way, shape or form. Nothing is further from my thought, I don't think that jealousy is an indication oi‘ love. I think it is the enemy of love and that any girl who deliberately rouses the green-eyed monster in a man's breast deserves what she generally gets, and that is to be forsaken for some other girl in whom he has more faith and who is surer of her sentiments. ' But perhaps you are jealous of your girl friend without cause. If you are engaged to her and the wedding day is in sight, you have n right to expect her to devote all of her time and attention to you, and not to go out with other dates unless you approve. Now suppose you monopolize a girl while she is at her most attract- ive age and most likely to make s. good marriage. You keep all the oth- er men away. You prevent her from marrying some man who could give her a good" home and take care of her, but you have no intention whatever‘ of marrying her yourself, and finally, when you have tired of her.. and she is not quite such a good-locker as she used to be, you simply kiss and ride away. And that ends it so far as the _girl is con- cerned. Now don't you see what an idiot s girl is to fall for such an unequal bargain? Don't you see that if she has any intelligence at all she will not tie herself down to one man until he mentions wedding rings? Don't you see why she should go around with a number of boys, and keep the door open for eligibles, so to speak? . And don't you see why no boy has a right to be jealous under the circumstances? . DOROTHY DIX DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My boy friend keeps asking me where my father is. I tell him that he is dead. My parents are divorced. Shall l tell him the truth? D L ANSWERr Of course. Evidently he suspects that there is some- thing wrong and he probably imagines it to be something far worse than it is. It is always a mistake to make a mystery about-your personal affairs. It sets people guessing and they always guess the worst thing possible. There is no disgrace in being divorced. - DOROTHY DIX DOROTHY DIX cannot reply personally to readers, but will answer problems of general interest through her column. Hoiv AC"an I !

' I OPIIATION ‘I0 IILIIVI INTIACIAILE PAIN I have written several times about the operation cf cutting cer- tain nerves supplying parts of the brain that have to do with excess- ive gried and anxiety. All that was first expected of this operation, lobotomy, was that it would lessen undue grief and anxiety and the patient and his family would nnd life more worth living again. Rec- ently I write of s number of cases in which following lobotomy, the patient was able to return home and be of some help there, and o! cases where the patient was able to resume his former occupation Onc of tho ailments that causes men and women to bring drug ad- called “intractable pain." pain that cannot be relieved. That this ter- rible pain can be relieved by this same operation, lobotcmy, is now stated in the “Journal of the American Medical Association" by Di-s. John B. Dynes and James L. Poppen Lahey Clinic, Boston. "Every physician has in his prac- tice patients who experience pain which is unrelieved by the usual measures and great physical and mental suffering result." These pat- ients are often a burden to their families because addicted to dnigs. or mentally unbalanced. Lobotoiny for the relief of such cases was performed on 18 pat- ients at the Lahey Clinic. Of the group 9 had cancer which was spreading throughout the body, the other 9 had various other condi- tions causing pain. Before under- going lobotomy, displte the fact that all patients had been treated by drugs. or by local operations, drug and surgical treatment alike had failed to relieve the pain. The patients were not only re- lieved of pain by iobotorny but they were relieved of excessive worry and concern. "In patients who are dying of cancer there can be no doubt that their remaining days are more free of mental suffering and happier than they otherwise would have been." "While iobotoniy ls not an oper- ntlon to save a. patient/s life, it is an operation to aid in his fut/ure care as well as for the relief of pain." When we remember that each patient had been treated by all known methods-medical and sur- gical — without getting relief from physical and mental pain. lobc- tomy may well become the oper- ation of choice to relieve intract- able physical and mental rflo- .

I And so today at Alderlea, given breeze and sunshine, there was little excuse for any one of the family to loiter-though there were the nice between-times when we left the Nell-mare munching her hay in the yard, while the farmers went to the field for the loads. Then we stole off with grand- daughter snd Jamie to our bit of lawn to make guesses with them as to the probable shades of the unfolding dahlias and hollfiiocks there. We found time too to catch playful kittens and to hold satiny- coated pups, and laugh with cog‘ g . tempts at barking. Plump fellows, these are, a condition due in no" small measure to STING-daughter's care. "This should turn into good milk, don't you think so?" she will ' ask, as she appropriates a piece of fruit-cake or other dainty to bestowl upon the mother-dais‘.

Like any topic it has its pro and con sides and one might argue to the crack of doom without getting anywhere, So please don't argue. and let me get on with the story of the pipes-Alfie pipes of Herb Mackenzie, Charlottetown.

That is, a fellow who likes his pipes. As I said before, Mackenzie has quite a collection of smoking bowls, picked up from here and there during his travels. Arid some were given to_him by old friends who knew he had a flair for collecting such things. And now l think I hear somebody saying, "But why in the world does that man collect pipes when then and smoked. I still can picture u, _ m1 ¢ 1. them in my mind's eye.
