FRANTIC MOTHER" * Many fathers are devoted to 4' their daughters, but so jealous *'that they cannot bear the • thought of her taking any * man seriously, They want all * her affection, and often go to • stupid 'lengths to hold it. This * daughter of yours loves the .* young man, sci, he comes 'en- * der the ban, * A father must naturally ex- * pect that some day his daugh- * ter will, get married; if this * 'reasonable now, he can t be, eonsoled by the kowledge *'that he has been a good fa- * they to her. But what will she *-think - of him as a parent if:, * he denies her now? If she is I forced, to meet the boy away • from dome,. or if the two * should elope, how shocked her * parent would be — yet it is * he who e,will be to blame. * Parents should expect and en- * courage love and marriage: * your husband married the girl * he loved :— how can he justi- * fy snatching the same right * from hiS daughter? o If your husband is close to * his minister, or trusts the opin- * ion of, one of.., his married * friends, perhaps- their argu- * ments would open his eyes to * such injustice. If the young * man is all you think, her fa- * ther should be eternally * grateful that the two are in * 'love and planning their future together. Your girl is young enough to wait a while. Cheer her on with hope. Ask her to be pa- * tient until father of her (now * so distraught) sees the light. * If he doesn't, and soon, he is * only destroying himself. He * will lose her love and respect "' if he hasn't already, and the • rift between them could last * for years. o But if he is rational now, * she will feel a gratitude that * will repay him a hundred- * fold. (Perhaps you can leave * this page where he will find * it today?) • MARRIED, ONE!" .Dear • Anne Hirst: The wives and *children of alcoholics merit my sympathy. Such men refuse to do' anything 'about their de- grading habits until they see `that they themselves must suf- fer. Other peoples' suffering leaves them unmoved; it only leads them to drinking:rfnore.

There were snorts of indigna- tion from countless people in the United States recently when a man who has been studying male and female snores for Ave years announced that "eVeryone snores at times," "We never snore, " they de, Oared. "Oh, yes you, do," said the ex- pert, when he heard of the protests, "We all do, but' most of us snore so quietly that we don't disturb other people, Only about one in every ten adult snorers is a menace unaware of the fact," Snoring may oecur when the Mouth 'is either eperr'or cIaged. It is paused- by. a ,vibratiorr ,or flapping about of thet,Soft palate which)ls,.et the back, of the Rocif of the mouth. And—let's face it —there's no certain cure for snoring Other • plaglies which haVe af- fected the `human 'race down the ages have been conquered or controlled, but not snoring, Snor- ers in this scientific Age are mak- ing at least as much noise as was made in the days, of Moses, Nero and Henry VIII. Hospitals-have spent thousands of dollars soundproofing wards. They have beaten street noises, rattling trolleys and squeaking shoes. But one noise they can't stop — THE SNORE, Some hospitals, said•an official of the King Edward Hospital Fund for London recently, intro- duced snorers-only wards, But the snorers woke each other up and caused, more work for the nurses. The scientists have measured snores. If you're a medium snor- er you produce 40 decibels (unit measurement of sound),-equal 'to a car travelling at 20 m.p.h. The champion snorer, can reach 90 decibels, the noise ,made by a truck going uphill. FOOLER No racket, „this. The "missile" is the central pivotr for a gigantic, 120-ton crane under construction at a naval "ship- yard in Prange:"`" All Gone Now before, the first fearful atonic bomb; a celebrated case • involving the effects of radio- activity intrigued the American public. In the early' 1920's, 42 women worked at the U.S. Rad- iuni Corp. plant in Orange, N J., painting'. watch, dialS with iune- 'Met -cent radium paint.

Over a cup of tea our con- versation -turned to houses, trees, farm homes and sub- divisions. I 'was airing my pet peeve — the lack of greenery in most new developments. "Yes," agreed Mrs. H., "they tell you trees can, be planted and the grounds landscaped but at our age we can't wait for trees to grow!" That was a sage- re- mark if I ever heard one. And I believe she was voicing a thought that had been in my subconscious ever since we left the farm, Actually, we 'have quite a number of trees on , this property but not close enough to the house to provide, shade. Se ,we-, continue .to plant trees and more trees. But as—I look at them I am eonsciotts Of an urgency . . . want trees now. Growth is so slow — what I want' is 'a "Jack-and-the-Bean- stalk" variety. However, ,slow growth doesn't stop us planting — someone, if not us, will reap the benefit in the distant Ititure. We Visited "friends -on— their Hespeler farm last -week and brought ,back five junipers for foundation planting. Also, three roots of trumpet vine.
