Should He Obey? By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Late Dean of Men, University of Illinois. The Browns have never gotten on together. There have been no trl angular differ ences. She has cared for him as much-—or as little —a8 she has cared for anyone, and he Ilkewise for her. Possibly if she had been a man and had tak. en up some dis tinctly masculine activity she would have been easier to live with, She simply adores con- trolling things; whatever she goes into she must have the reins In her hand, and she desires no advice or direction as to how the driving should be done. Had she lived in Russia at the time of the empire she would have been the czar, or she would have gone to Siberia. It is not a matter of poverty which has disgruntled Mrs. Brown, for they are in good circumstances. In fact Mr. Brown retired from active busi- ness some tine ago and they live In financial comfort on the income from their property. Maybe it is because when they were married she brought ito the union somewhat more assets than he possessed, and this fact gave ther a feeling of superiority and dom- ination. It isn't that Brown Is lazy or shiftless or that he dissipates thelr income. He has been a hard worker, shrewd and careful In his business dealings, but nothing that he has done has ever pleased her. For thirty years they have scarcely had a quiet, peace ful day together. They have a son, and It is with him I am most concerned. He is twenty years old now, and he has known nothing since his babyhood but this daily domestic wrangle, He is na bright boy, energetic, hard working, Swagger Spring Style The new straight line of Redfern’s seven-eighths length suit coat Is em- phasized by the gored balloon sleeves and the trimmed buttons In this cos tume, intelligent, but nothing that he does pleases nis mother, If he earns money, as he does, she takes it away from him. If he wants to go out at night, she refuses. If he forms even the most healthy friend. ship with a young woman of his own age and makes a social engagement she makes life for him hell until he breaks it. If he comes In after her bedtime at night she berates him al- most until morning. What advice would you give him If he were to ask you, Should he obey her unreasonable demands? He has appealed to his father, who only shakes his head. ©. 1533, Western Newspaper Union, Plan to Increase Revenue and Curtail Outlay. Washington. — Legislation designed to halt an annual post office deficit which rose to a new high of $200,000, 000 for the last fiscal year, is now be ing drafted by the house committee on post offices and post roads It Is expected to be introduced as a part of the administration’s-economy program either at this session after emergency matters have been disposed of or early in the next regular session. Members of the committee are un- derstood to be working on both ends of the problem, seeking to Increase revenue and to curtail outlay, Their major efforts along the first line, It Is reported, will be the restoration of the former two cent rate on first class postage which was raised to three cents in the revenue act of 1003. Three Cent Rate Causes Loss. A recent survey conducted by Rep resentative James M. Mead (Dem, N. committee chairman, indicated that instead of realizing a promised $130,000.06 in postal income, the in creased first class rate is going to lose some £100.000,000 In the current fiscal year. He termed the three cent rate one of the “greatest blunders™ in the history of the mall service. Efforts to stem the outlay of the Post Office department will be direct ed at & curtaliment of air and ocean mail subsidies, In the fiscal year 1932 steamship mall subsidies totaled $21. 006.103, while subventions to air transport companies engaged in carry- ing the malls amounted to $20.586107, Recently the committee compiled a comprehensive report embodying a new plan of air mail payment under which subsidies would be completely abolished within five years. [It is ex- pected that this program will be in- cluded In the legislation which is to be brought before the house. Representative Clyde Kelly (Rep, Pa.), author of the original alr mall act declared that “a complete change in the method of payments to con tractors must be made in the interests of justice and economy.” “Whatever justification there may be for a large subsidy as a means of RaseIT HATS / 100,000 RABBIT SKINS ARE DAILY RE - QUIRED TO MAKE MENS FELT MATS.

In 1630, he declared, postal revenues were $705,484.000, In 1081 they dropped by nearly $50,000,000 to a total of $605,463,000, and In 1032 they declined another $08,000,000, to a total of only $588,171.00. In the two year period the aggregate loss amounted to Swimming Star In Jack Medica, Seaitle, Wash. has another swimming star.

In 1929 there was a gross deficiency of $85,000,000, including payments for alr and ocean malls subsidies, franked mail service and nonpostal functions, while in 1932 the deficit, on the same gross basis, jumped to $£205,000,000- an increase in the red of $£120,000,000. The 1929 net deficit, representing the outgo for purely postal purposes against the Income from postal serv. feces, amounted to $50,000,000. The 1032 net deficit was £152,000,000, Washington's Home Gets Paving From England Whitehaven, England. —Paving from a sandstone quarry here has been sent to Mount Vernod, Va, to renew similar paving at Washington's house there.

They can slip and almost fall and regain their equilibrium with- out a tremor or the feeling of having done anything unusual, They have had a wide experience In their young lives, whereby they have acquired thelr power of equilibrium. Every mother knows of the constant tumbles the wee lots have when they are learning to walk. They are so little and so short that they have no heavy falls or of a great height unless they tumble down stairs or off of some high: place. At first the falls these small folk have are almost equal to the num- ber of steps they take. So deter mined to conquer are they that after a few years they may be sald to be masters of equili- brium. They are practically fear fess, it is at this stage that parents and grandparents often make the mistake of instilling the element of fear in the children. With their older yenms and greater stature, falls are not of small significance to these adults. They hold their breath as they watch their children climb tall and often call out words of warning when in reality the youngsters are as secure as if on terra firma. They plant their feet well on limbs or in crotches of branches and revel in the feeling of freedom and elevation above the green grass many yards below. They look out over the heads of thelr elders or over the roof of garage or barn and get the exhilaration of adults who sit securely in airplanes when they take flights from aviation fields Sure-Footed Safety. This ability of children to keep their balance and to climb will stand them frees, provided they do not get so many warnings that they imbibe the spirit of fear which will hamper them later on. There is no time in one's life when to be sure-fooled is more prized than adult years, The ability to grip the ground or the floor with the feet is valuable, To walk fearlessly over a plank across a stream, to tread the uncertain deck of a steamer plowing through a storm and remain well bal Mooney Gets New Trial 3 r= A recent closeun of a life sentence for the 1010 Prepared- ness day parade bombing in San Fran- cisco, and who has been granted a H.
