What ion has the hours taken. what niceties given? Another sliver strand, it is likely in our crowning glory, or at least the shade height- ened over the momentary and sudden dismays, the apprehen- ahions that come upon us who dwell on farms.

A room spring-cleaned a favorite of DUJI, where one may come upon ancient pictures, scraps of old journals, letters in precise phras- ing and script. Serene-faced bust- led ladies, men of handsome but sober mien. And regardless of cleaning, scrub-pail forgotten. mop and duster idle, one could tell at a glance that any one of these would strip his coat of broadcloth in a twinkling, and spread it gallantly for her at a muddy crossing. There would be no Nlump. Ellen . . . run and make a spring for it! Oh, no. the weaker sex was not ex- pected to be over-alert in those days.

Tucked in with the other modest flowers in esteemed bouquets of appreciation through the years. when in our hearing James has acknowledged with obvious satis- faction if not with actual pride: "Ellen. manages to make fair-good bread." He sighs at the end of the l comment and knowing, we realize

, it is an expression of relief - of one saved from a tragic fate through no help of his own. We

recall that when he is called upon to give from his experience to a lad about to leap the abyss from single to double bless viess, he

i' impresses the importance of this accomplishment. "Never mind if she can sing like a nightingale. or play like a master. or is as pretty as a picture. be sure that she can bake you a good loaf of bread!" As we look back, it is to find that this was among the subjects he hintseif completely over-looked in his courting days:

MODERN METHODS IN CARE OF THE AGED

Children's specialists in past years saved the lives of so many infants and children that now less than one child in 20 dies at birth or during the first year, compared to about three in 10 30 years ago. Today another specialty in medi- cine, geristrlcs. the treatment of the aged and aging. is prolonging the life and happiness of elderly men and women.

There is now such a large per- centage of elderly people to be looked after mentally. emotionally and physically, that special homes or institutions are being built and special staffs. aside from the phy- sicians and nurses. needed.

In a letter to the physicians of Ontario, Canada. Dr. J. T. Phair. Deputy Minister of Health. states: "During the present century. a remarkable change has taken place in our population structure. What at the turn of the century was not a very impressive portion of the total number of people in the country-the men and women over 60 years of age-has now be- come a fraction or percentage of arresting size. The practical im- portance of this to all of us in the profession of medicine is that there is it much higher proportion of sickness and infirmity and in- validlstn in the 'over-60' group." As progress in the care of the aged and aging has progressed farther in England than here. Dr. Phair enclosed with his letter ii reprint of Modern Mctlxods in the Care of the Aged. published by the Department of Health for Ontario. The article was written by Dr. L. Z. Coslri, Medical Superintendent. Orsett Lodge Hospital. Essex. Eng- land.

Accompaiiyliig the article is a diagram of the method of care of elderly people in which provision is made for a Gcrialric Depart- ment in each hospital of the Reg- ional Hospital Boards. where every modern facility of diagnosis and treatment can he provided for both in-and-out-patients. In this wav these elderly men and women will receive the attention of all specialists including psychiatrists. social service workers. and special nurses, all within the active ger- iatric wards of a hospital service. After all that is possible has been done for patients in these geriatric wards they can be trans- ferred to appropriate long-st-ay an- nexes. Thus there will be long- stay annexes for frail patients still able to be on their foot. for per- manently bedfast patients, for those with confuslonai symptoms and those patients whose needs are largely a matter of providing suitable food and accommodation.

Hi: Behavior New Indication He'll Be Negleclful Husband

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: 1 have been going with a young men for almost a year. Am very much in love with him and he tells me he

adores me, but he treats me in such I casual and inconsiderate way

that I do not know what to think of it. He breaks engagements with- out any real excuse. Is tardy in keeping appointments. Never tele- phone: when he is going to be late. although he has a phone on his 5 v - desk. He treat: his own family the same way and" tells me they don't mind, and that I am making a' mountain out of a mole hill. My parents urge me to give him up, saying that if he shows no little consideration now. what will he do after we are

married? What do you think? I. D. J.

ANSWER: I think your young man is giving you a sample of the way he will treat his wife. and that you should be very sure that you like it

before you undertake a life diet of it. Don't dclude yourself with the false belief that marriage will work some sort. of miracle in his disposition that will change him from a callously indifferent and self-
