"!Dear Anne 'Hirst: \When we
married over .a year ;ago, .we 'de-
cided'to live with my parents until
.we could afford 'our own home,
During that •period 'Why ;Wife was
willing to live .any ;Place, just so
.we ;cotild be alone.
"But when .we
started looking,
she wouldn't set-
tle for anything
less than,,; five -
room house -She .
considered .only
the most expen-
si.v.•e furniture.
She. decided my
clothes were not
fine.. enough. And she 'didn't like
people, (She quit, three jobs because
•she.coulchh't get along with her co-
workers.).
"Now that we live .alone, she '
wants me to conte home earlier, be- ,
cause she gets lonesome during the `
day!
".I . have tried leaving her money I
to run the house. But %when the
month is. up, she hasn't. any left to ,
pay the .bills, Her mother (who
works) and her -sister (married) are
.always wanting me to '-go on their
notes • of •.security.
"What. can I, do- My 'wife won't
take:; job to help with finances and
.1 , can't tell her 'mother to stay
away.. S.O.S."
LAY:DOWN:THE. LAW
Your • wife was so "anxious for .
* .a home of her own: that she'.would
'* have been ,grateful, ,you say, to
'1 move 3nto.,a modest: apartment.
* Ask her whether she'.would.like
'*. to go back to your family's home
..*, now?
* If ,gbe keeps . an spending .as
* she is doing, .you will .not ,only
'*.be .unable .to pay . the . rent, . but i
*,you will be bankrupt. And,then
*'.she .will have .no 'choice about
'* where, you,two-must.live.
* .From what ;you tell isle, she
*.comes front a family .of spend-
: hrifts, 'people accustomed to
* living beyond their ,incorue,.tak-
*lag .no .thought .of tthe .future.
And .10 .obtain that end, 'they
* .would. borrow.from:anybody %Who
'*.is .footish •enough to lend %them
* money.
.u"o perhaps .your wife's lirres-
`* possibility is -not .entirely her I
*,own .fatilt.
She :must, however, .learn .that
"*•sheecamtot-spendlmone,ythat fhe I
• does ;not .have. And :.you twill
*
grave : ttte'kiiffieult rjdb .of >teadhing
* her to do without 'those things
* for which she cannot pay cash.
Talce over the handling of
* your income for a while, Close
* the charge accounts. Give her
* just enough to pay for the
* week's (or month's) household
*'expenses and make,her tinder-
* stand that is 'ale there is.
* Don't 'de ,this in anger., nor
* 'impatiently. Go 'over the figure,
* of .your income and living ex-
penses, .and remind her that
* every month ,you must save a
* sum 'toward .the future and aqy
* emergencies. You .and she ;will
'want ,your own home and .family
* some 'day. Now is the time !to
*.provide .for them.
* Remind ,your wife that she is
* your partner in .an economic
'r sense, .too. That you depend on
* her to co-operate in this new and
*,necessary arrangement. And that
so long .as .you love each +other
* and have .8 place of your own,
* these "sacrifices" should not be
* sacrifices .at all—but the chance
'' to prove .to each other that you
* understand .and accept the true
* essentials .of life together.
* Her family must learn, and
*.now, that they cannot look to
*•you any Further to help them out
*.of their ,financial straits. If your
* wife will not tell them, you will
* have to.
* A man's social life is largely
* in the bands of his wife. This
* girl you married should be niak-

* and neighborhood acquaintances
* —not only to keep her from
*.being lonely, but to establish
"*.yourselves.as an important social

*.be hard ,for .her at first, but :it
•* is the only answer to her childish
*.dependence.ypon you. With your
"* help and .encouragement, she can
'*:gradually tcreep out of her shell
* and become the .real ,helpmate
*.that every man has the right to
_*.expect.
* In .other words, you .will have

. OCTOBER
Our northern year would I>e drab
indeed without October, a veritable
Joseph among the months. Its
many -colored coat is flung across
the hills to be seen afar, in time as
well as distance. \Ve look forward
to October color as one of the mag-
nificent spectacles of our land; and
when the leaves have gone and the
world is gray and white with winter
we lodk back and rententber au-
tumn at its height, in October.
Spring is full of color, but no
matter how lush it may seem at the
time it is color on a minor scale. It
is the color of a million ntinatures,
each spring flower a tiny brush-
stroke. But October is autumn, and
autumn is a mural so vast it ort -
ranges the eye.
You look for spring in a bed 'of
violets beside` a brook. You. don't
have to look for 'October. It covers .
.a whole hillside, 14 cloaks the val-
leys :and knows no horizon. A
whole grove of maples lights .up
with the fire of autumn, with every
flame color in the spectrum. A val-
ley gleans and shimmers with gold
from swamp willow and sycamore,
a whole ,broad valley full and -brim-
ming. An upland pasture lined with
.briars and blueberries is twenty
acres .of green and forty mods of
purple .and crimson. And when the
winds of October blotto,• -even the
wind is full, of color. The north is
so full of•color it can scatter it to
the skies and rustle it underfoot
Even the sides :of October, once
the rains have cleared September's
dust, are the bluest.of all skies, with
the whitest of all huge clouds.
October is a long month, as oqr
months run. But few Octobers are -
long enough .to wear out their wet -
,conte. Sun -ripe and.color-bold, Oct -
'ober holds a special place in our
affections.

INGIERFAIIM
ei Gaendolfts.e P Cto eke
One day I was in a local butcher
store when another customer turn-
ed to nee and said—"What, you
"here again, Mrs. Clarke , .. do you
live downtown?" 'Well, not quite,"
1 answered, and then remembering
this other woman also carate from
the country I added—"How about
you?" She laughed—"Yes, I de-
served that question—but it seems
every time I come downtown I
meet you in one or other -of the
stores, so I just wondered .
thought maybe you had moved to
town•"
That started me thinking—just .
wondering if I did make a lot of •
unnecessary trips. I remembered_-'.
the -gas-rationing days—when I -
never made a trip to town unless
it was absolutely necessary and
always found it quite easy to keep
well within my gas ration. But no,
although I begrudge the -'time it
takes to get dressed and go down
town, yet I do go quite frequently
—on Saturdays sometimes two and
three times. Take last Saturday, for
instance. Business at the bank—
so I had to go down in the morn-
ing—banking (tours being from
9:30 to 11. At the bakeshop -we
have a standing order for fruit
buns on Saturday but they are
never ready 'before 12 o'clock, Na-
turally I couldn't wait for them—
there was dinner to get at home.
So I picked up a few groceries
and ambled -back hone . , . I would
have to go down later.
* * M
About 4:30 I set out again—and
I had to" hurry because the library
closed' at five—but I thought I
coulsi Orange my books, pick up the
buns,: get the evening . paper and
be -hone in plenty of time to 'get
suppbf. 1 got the books and buns
but• the papers were late coming
in. 1 waited and waited, determined
not to make a third trip downtown.
That way I saved on gas but I
wasted a lot of time and barely
had supper on the table before the
men came in to eat it,
5 *
Or take any other day, \ cry
often if I miss the overnight mail
I take my letters to the 8:50 train
in the morning. Occasionally Part-
ner has said—"You might bring me
so-and-so from the drugstore."
Without thinking 1 agree.' 13151
then T find the drugstore, don't
open until 9:30. Oh well, at least
the butcher store will be open and
1 can get served there in a hurry
at this time in the morning. But one
man is very much occupied with
hacking up a side of beef and the
other fellow is constantly at the
telephone taking orders for the day.
Eventually they get around to
serving me. Perhaps another day
I ant busy at a paint job and leave
my trip t0 town until around 5:30,
There are only a few things to get
anyway. But, oh dear, the town
is busy—you don't know which
place to go first because they all
close at six. So I start at the post
office but get behind two people
both wanting money orders—and
making out stoney orders is slow
business. From the post office 1
go from store to store and appar-
ently ]'m the only one in r hurry
—certainly the ones behind' tine
counter are not, Jell, might as
well take back an evening paper
—they are stile to be in by this
time. "Paper?" says the girl at the
drugstore—"Oh, I'm sorry—they
carne in early today and we have
n't one left!" X give up and go
home,
So that's the way it goes when
everyone is on an eight -hour -day
except the farmer. Go down-
town early and you have to wait
for the stores to open. Go late and
you have to rush around to get
everything you want before the
doors close for the night, Back in
those Ieisurely days when the main
purpose- of the storekeepers and
their assistants was to serve the
public rather than beat the time
clock, then you could do all your
business on just one trip to town.
Lt fact it was often possible to
make only one trip a week by
us:ng a little forethought. In fact
I do that even yet in winter -time
as I get Bob to pick up my orders
then, But in summer, with com-
pany coating and going all the
time, I like to do my own shopping.
* * *
But, oh dear, I shouldn't com-
plete this column without men-
- tinning what happens at the doc-
tor's office. Our doctor has his
office hours from 1- 4 and 7 - 9,
morning hours by appointment. So
to save time I get an appointment
for 10 a.m. Get there right on the
dot . , - and there are four people
ahead of mel '"What time was your
appointment?" I asked one young.
girl. "Ten o'clock," she answered.'
The others said their appointment
was 10 o'clock too. I begin to
wonder what good is all appoint-
ment if it is given to more than
one at the same time. "That's old
stuff," says the young girl, "The
doctor says 10 o'clock but he sees
you when he gets around to it."
That may be true but at least we
can't grumble about the doctor's
hours—I never knew one yet who
had too much leisure time on his
hands,
EGGWHITE SUBSTITUTE
Eggwhite is albumen, a protein.
What The Chemical and Engineer-
ing News describes as "synthetic
eggwhite" is now produced in Nor-
way from codfish. One pound of
this fish protein is equivalent to the
eggwhite contained in 140 hen'seggs.
Nobody has even synthetizcd pro-
tein. The highly purified fish pro-
tein can be used for snaking breads,
cake, ice creast, mayonnaise, phar-
maceutical products, textiles, paints,
soap, cosmetics and paper. Trial
production of more than 600 pounds
of eggwhite a day has been started
by two Norwegian firms.

Don't Overload That
Washing Machine
Experiments in household equip-
ment laboratories prove that, al-
though it may he time -saving to
load the family washing machine to
capacity, it also means sacrificing
washer efficiency.
Nineteen machines, of various
types, had their effiiency tested with
different sized work loads. Maxi-
mum loads in most were nine
pounds, or in some cases 10.
Summing up the experiment, Ka-
therine Taube, household equipment
specialist states:
"In general, a load of six or seven
pounds in a domestic washing ma-
chine will result in better soil
removal and more even washing
than a heavier load,"
