"Another fashion that I recom-

N uptial Cooperation

Couples lleed Each Other’: Opinions And Advice 0n Matters

DEAR M155 DIX: Our Family Relations class is having a very serious argument. One of the students (a boy) claims that a ‘woman's place and say is in the home and the home only. and that a. man's place and say is outside of the home and outside only.

I (a girl) think that a woman should certainly have as much to say about things outside of the home as the husband does and that the man should have the same rights inside the home. I think that it would be better for all concerned if they would co-uperaze 50-50 in everything. I feel that this can be done, the boy doesn't. He thinks that throughout married lLfe this 50-50 co-operation could not be carried on. I think it. could because permanency in marriage is most important.

What is your opinion?

H. W.

ANSWER: The proof of the pudding is in chewing the string, and you have only to look about you to see that not only the happiest marri- ages. but the most ‘prosperous ones are those in which the husband and wife share equal responsibility in their homes and work shoulder to shoulder. A marriage in which there is a divided authority in which the wife pulls one way and the husband pulls the opposite way is always a figure.

(ED-OPERATION VITAL

But while the 60-60 plan of running a marriage 1s good in general. it should not be applied too literally, for the ideal basis for a marriage is co-operation. The wife does not always know what is best to do even in her province. Nor does the husband know what is best to do in his. They need each others opinions and advice.

For instance. many letters come to this column from men who write that they are offered brilliant opportunities in business in a dif- ferent part of the country. but that. their wives refuse to go because they don't want to leave Mother and the girls and their bridge club.

Certainly a. wife should not. have the ultimate authority in that matter. nor should she in the rearing of her children. when her hus- band can see that she is spoiling them to death. Nor should a husband feel that. he has a. right to never make his wife a partner in his busi- ness and keep her in ignorance of what he is doing. Many wives have no idea of how much money their husbands make or what they can afford to spend, which accounts for a lot of extravagant women.

DEAR. MISS DIX: Can a man have a friendship with a woman with whom he used to be in love? I was about to be married to a very lovely girl when she became ill and had to be hospitalized for

three years I gave up hope and married another girl. who has made me a wonderful wife and with whom I have been very happy.

Now 20 years later I meet my old girl in another city who tells me that she still loves me. She comes to my hotel at night and we spend hours together talking and she kisses me good-bye. When I re- turned home I told my wife everything and she said there was nothing

Ellen ’s Diary

By on hind For 'u_Wll0

__-_

“But. Ellen. we can't think of stopping now for supper!" James told me a few momenta ago. and the subsequent slamming of the kitchen door did not indicate un- patiencn over added duties in m already busy day, but only haste. The supper dishes are on the table, the food ready to be set in place The old lamp, once among tlzc prides of the parlour sheds a mel- low glow about. picking out the. red of the checked cloth and set- ting any glassware aglow. We were about to commence the meal, which has suddenly been put off -lndeed it was so abruptly that one smiles to remember the old truism: "There's many a slip ‘twbrt. tile cup and the lip." A truck which has come from the city rests now at the end of this road. I suspect somewhere in the vicinity of the corner store. It bears feed for ours. and Rob's stock. It may be sacks of any one of the. grains used for that purpose. and yet now that I recall a dropped word of James‘ I believe it is a mixture of those.

By farm sleighs this must be transported, since for much of the way drifts lie too deep for motrr vehicles to attempt, in the distance between. Thither it is then —and even now I can hear the outgoing teams - our farmers have gone lo take delivery of the precious stufl Out into the twilight of dusk, into an evening so mild that we say it ls unseasonal. and beneath a sky‘ lit with odd hazy stars. Along a snowy trail it will be, working on “over-time“ which is often the lot of farm folk and yet. I fancy not at all resentful of it, or dis- turbed, but only grateful in these strange days of an abundance o.‘ luxury goods but dearths of neces- sities at times, to be able to get such provender to have in store for the stock for the wintry months ahead. I have-a notion that as they work busily transferring sack after sack to the waiting Blelkns. the men will not find the task quite so burdensome as once, now that bacon and beef prices have increased, and through it all they will be remembering that after labor comes rest, and food for men

HIGH-BLOOD PRESSURE. RAPID HEART BEAT, OVEBWEIGIIT

A physician examining candidates for an insurance company makes it a habit. wherever possible. to give the examination before breakfast as he finds the blood pressure and heart rule much lower than during ulie day-especially in the nervous type of individual. .

However, when he finds the blood pressure high after several examin- ations and especially if Lbe heart irate also is too rapid, he rejects the candidate because he has found that bhis man or woman is more likely to always have hlglh blood pressure and so -more likely to have a heart stroke (coronary thrombosis) or a brain stroke (apoplexy).

“Thai; overweight in an indivi- dual who has high-blood pressure and rapid heart rate may prove dangerous is pointed out in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" by heart specialists in four cities-Dre. Robert L. Levy. New York. Paul D. While. Boston, William D. strovud. Philadelphia, and Brig. Gen. Ciharles C. l-lillman, Miami. These physicians investigat- ed the three conditions — high- blood pressure. rapid heart beat, and overweight _~ in a group of 22.741 army officers.

By sustained hypertension (high- blood pressure). was meant a read- ing of 150 millimeters of mercuIY systolic pressure or 90 diastolic per- sisting throughout one examination and not followed by lower readings in later examinations.

By transient or passing rapid

heart rate was meant a rate of 100

beats per minute or more which

was followed after rest on any par- ticular examination by a. rate uinder

An officer was considered to be overweight if he was heavier by

20 pounds or more than the stand- ard given by Army regulations, cal- cilllitcd according to age and height- The age was noted at which over- weigh! was first observed. and from than on Lhe person was placed in the overweight class.

James himself, professes to being "not too much taken up" with news of increased bacon and other meat prices. We talked it over this morning. on the scene as it were, when with him, I must step into. a stable to inspect the pair of fattening heifers and later lean» ed over a pen when the litter of pig; are now last developing into a comely maturity. "This increase in the price of pork is all very well in a way to the farmer, and con- sidering the British market I sup- pose there was no other way of coaxing by a rise in the price for the producer, but I believe it would have been a whole lot better if in stead, the price of feeds could have been lowered. Think. Ellen’ he said “what that rise in such products will mean to Canadians. who buy itl to the city folk and to the farmers who also are :on- sumers as well. Even to those of us who kill and ‘cure their own. it will be mighty expensive stuil to eat. And I'm afraid it will be out of reach of the working man altogether." “It. will make e Duzz ling study in economics" 1,1811"! "like a circle, neither beginninl 01' end with producer and packing-- house plants, consumer and labor all affected in a way that is quite beyond me. 0h well" and here James scaled the side of the so)’ with an agility that is surprising to parade the pnimals for a closer inspection "time will tell, how it will all work ‘cute’
