Guilt Falls
On In-laws
'According. to the findings of a
California sociologist and his wife,
the ever-present crop of mother
in-law jokes has -some basis.- , • -
Dr. Judson Landis, associate
professor ,of family sociology at
the University of :California, re
ports in the current issue of Col
lier's that 50 percent o fthe in-law
trouble is caused by mothers. Thith
figure is based on interviews
j which Dr. and Mrs. Landis - con
ducted with 500 married couples.
• Sisters-in-law, who escape
• much of the humorist's venom,
were next in line for blame in
13 'percent of the cases. Fatherly
interferepce causes friction 11
percent ,of the time, while broth
ers interrupt the smooth work
ings of the family in about six
percent of 'the cases, Dr. Landis
says. A • combination of family
members gets the blame in the
remaining 20 percent of the cases.
A fact that may cause some
injury to the masculine ego is
that a wife may - have her aches
and pains, but in the emergency
she will meet: the situation better
than will her husband.
• After his investigations, Dr.
Landis concluded that a bride will
resent her mother-in-law even
though that lady be angelic.
Ferguson to Join UN

thru the
Looking Glass
with George
Have you been tempted to
shoot your roommate, frater
nity brother, or math prof?
Then use the gun that made
presidents ou t of Vice Presi
dents Teddy Roosevelt and Vice
President Andrew Johnson.
Drop Dead
Or rather the replicas of these
famous pistols. Ethel has them
to decorate your wall, a fra
terity fun room, or a den.
Frankly, you'll have to have a
hole in your head to pay good
money for them when you can
get the real thing at some auc
tion for $75 or $lOO.
Brand 'em girls: 15c
a letter.
For you who like a milder form
of recreation, Ethel offers a
goodly stock of initials you
can adhere to your luggage,
cigarette lighter, compact, wal
let, or any other personal
article. These are really hand
some: black initials on a gold
backing. They come in two
sizes: 15 cents for the neat
small ones; and 25 cents for the
large display initials.
Personalize your car
or 45c.
If your names begin with any
of the 26 accepted letters of
the alphabet, come in. For 45
cents you can personalize any
article with three initials. The
- effect is smarter than most en
graved jobs. And it's so easy ...
just stick them on. They'll
never come off. Put . three
initials on the door of your car
and doormen will open the door
for you instead of waving you
toward a used car lot.
Send a different
Christmas Card
While we're getting personal,
may I also suggest that you
stop in now for Christmas
cards. As usual, you can ex
pect the unusual at Ethers , —
cards that express your person
ality. Not the run of the mill
type you receive five alike on
every Christmas. Choose a
price to fit your budget from
$1.25 for 25 cards.
