MILD 0B SUBINSUIJN SHOCKS '—'*-' FOR ANXIETY STATES

The first steam locomotive ever to be operated in the U, s. A. was named “America? Built in Eng- land, it was given the infant try- out from Carbondale to Honesdele, Pennsylvania a sixteen-mile line. It proved a flunk.

Next came ‘the Stourbridge Lion. which was also made in England. Unlike its predecessor, huwevenit worked, and was used on the same tracks for some time.

In these days when normal healthy men and women are won- dering a-bout the days ahead, it is only natural that many ivith a ner- vous. high. strung, emotional make- up are in a constant state of anx- iety.

A prize of $4.060 was offered by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to any American engineer who would build a locomotive capable of drawing fifteen tcns at fifteen ni.p h. on the level. The Award went to Messrs. Davis and Gart- ner (1832). The new design was given the name “York? The same year Matthias Baldwin founded the Baldwin Locomotive Works. built his first enzine.,and operated it on the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristoiivn Railroad.

An item run by one of Philadel- phia's papers of that date printed the following:

NOTICE: The locomotive engine thuilt hy M. W. Baldwin of this city: will depart. when the weather is fair. with a train of passengers cars. In bad weather horse cara will run on the same schedule."

The first railway train ever op- erated ran from Liverpool to Man- chester, England. The owners post- ed a notice called “Rules for Trav- ellers," copies of which hung on posts all along the route.

In order to get passage one had to notify the company twenty- four hours in advance of starting. give she's age, place of birth, oc- cupation and "eason for desiring to travel. If your application was approved you were issued u ticket; but the railway assumed no re- sponsibility for your safety. nor did it guarantee when you would reach your destination.

Trains not reaching their dest- ination befora dark put up at one of their various depots en route and the passengers had to pay for their lodging at some local inn. Luggage was piled on top of the coaches with no protection from the elements, and the company assuzined no responsibility for damaged property.

3 MINUTE

Tell them, to begin with, that they are wasting their pity upon you, and that ln the domestic slavery they a0 much deplore you arc finding your greatest happiness, Perhaps you do have to work about fourteen houra a day, but it i: labor that is more interesting and ex- citing to you than any other occupation on earth. Perhapl the four walla of your home do bound your universe, but it ls a tight little Paradise for you.

Everything in life depends nn tlic point of view. A home is a jail or the dearest spot on earth, Working to support a family and milking a husband or wife comfortable nnd happy is the most worth- while work in the world, or an insupportable burden. Children are tiresome brats. or adorable angels. Sitting by the fire with husband or wife of an evening is a pleasure or n bore Just as you find it. rind

just as you feel about it. We take out of marriage just what we put lnio it. 1.

And so your unmnrrlcd sisters, who sm- in you only ii woman who is, as the phrase gocs, “lied down by her husband nnd children" and

who has to work, and who can't get around of an evening or have as many clothes as they do, feel sorry for you, and they don't know that you are having a better time than they are, and that you are secretly extending your sympathy to them.

DEAR MISS DIX: You ignore the question nf legal and financial responsibility when you advocate woman's right to propose. What does a proposal from a woman consist of’! Simply an iron-bound re- quest that a man will assume nll 1hr- legal and financial responsibilities of a marriage for ever rind over. How can a man who has 2 cents worth of brains not wrindcr if hr in not simply being roped in and tied to the mlllatone for the rest of his days when a woman proposes?

MONTREAL

ANSWER: Well laid. but you ignore the fact that even if woman had the right to propose, men would ltill be u free agent in the matter and have the right to refuse. The woman couldn't drag him to the altar against his will. and if the lady didn't appeal to him and if her proposition didn't look good to him. all he would have to do would be to say: “Why. Miss Smith. this is so sudden. I never dreamed you felt about me like that, but while I like you very much I don't love you and I can only be a brother to you."

You seem to think that a wife ia u terrible financial burden on her husband. This la not always the case. Many women keep on with their jobs after marriage and are often better money-earner: than their husbands.

And surely you must admit. that even the domestic woman, who cooks and cleans and scrubs iinrl mends and makes a man a comfort-

able home and rears his children properly. earns her board and keep. Every widower finds out after his wife dies that it taker about all lie makes to pay the salaries of housekeeper and nurse and seemltreaa and laundress and charwoman to do the work that she did.

So you see there is no real reason why women proposing should work any hardships on men. Nor need they dread it. Being courted in really a most pleasant experience.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: What are the duties of a doctor's wife? R8. A. B. C.

ANSWER: Primarily, the same as the duties of any other man's wife. These, I conceive. are for her to be good-natured and com- panionable; in be a grind sport and take whatever come-l; to be n good housekeeper and make e comfortable home.

In addition to these, the chief duty of a doctor's wife la to put an extinguisher on her jealousy. A greet, many doetorl’ wives are l0 greeneyed that they imagine that every woman who consults their husband is in love with him. It iii also the duty of a doctor: wife to luppress her curiosity and to keep her tongue between her teeth.

Without doubt, a doctor'| wife can do much to enhance for for- tune by making friends for him, But perhaps she can do moat of all by not badgerlng him because he must necessarily leave her much

alone. DOROTHY DIX cannot reply personally to render!’ b“ "l" ‘NW9’ problem: of general Interest through her column.

Timely Notes On Nutrition

By Marjorie G. lflll

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HOMEMAKER SERVICE

{fast week we talked a bit about the general policy of the lied cross Hmnemaker Service. Today I thought you might like to hear something of the types of Home- maker Service available.

_The best known type is Day- time Family Service. It is given only where there are children. The mother may be ill at home or in the hospital. The following quest- ions might arise in regard to this service:

I Will care be promised ahead of time. as for confinements and surgery? Yes. \Ve prefer to have you call before the need actually exists. if at all possible to do 541

2. will service he given to a moth. H‘ confine home from the hos/vital with licr first baby? If the mother cannot uct other help, we will send n homemaker to lier for the first wr-ek.

3 Whiit will the durntlo 0f service he? The homemaker will stay ns long as twelve days with a family. if needed - sometimes we see fit for her to stay a longer period, other times a few days may be suf- ficicnt. _

4. Shall homemakers be sent to u hone to teach a mother and lielp sort out her problem? The con- dition of many homes calls for 0iit- side assistance and for educational work. The homemakers are fre- quently able to do this practical educational work in the home with the mothers while they are on a case. The most important reason T91‘ Dllmflt! u homemaker in the home might be in cases, where the young mother has had no previous training in homemaking and nggdg assistance. '

A1101“? type 0f service I would like trWtell you about is the Rosl- dent Homemaker Service. In this case the mother is dead or would be ln the hospital for an indefini- tely long period, A case which ar- ises frequently would he one in which the mother has deserted her family, In all these cases the Homemaker usually lives with the family.
