He marries her to give her a home and provide for her—not for her to help sup- port herself, I think a man is cheap to expect his wife to con- tinue working after marriage. As you say, he should be proud to support her, not take from her, "And her clothes? It's all right for her to pay for some of them, but he should provide her with an outfit part of the time. "My husband doesn't think a wife should work at all, "He says a home isn't a home unless it is beautiful and clean all the time; then if unexpected guests drop in, you don't have to excuse dust on the furniture; And you know as well as I do, Anne Hirst, ,you can't keep your house looking like it should, and have those homemade pies and calces, if you're out working all day! A STEADY READER * Many a reader, man and " woman, will agree with you o Most men take pride in sup- " porting a wife, and some feel * it a reflection on their capa- * bilities if she takes an outside * job. They can both do without " some luxuries and manage to • get along on his income. A * man's pride is precious to him, e and it should not be offended. * In many cases today, the two • could not possibly live on the ° man's income. The wife is as * anxious for marriage as he, so • she is glad and proud to pay ▪ her share of their common ex - e penes.

X -Ray Treatments May Be Harmful X-ray treatment may endan- ger the growth of children's bones, according to a report published in Radiology. Their studies were paid for by grants from the Atomic Energy Com- mission and the Playtex Park Research Institute. The children examined had received X-ray treatment for cancer. A follow- up thirteen years after treat- ment showed definite effects on the growth of the spine. A re- lationship between the X-ray dosage and the effect on the growth was demonstrated and the limits of safe dosage deter- mined.Though only the spine was studied, the findings are just as applicable to other bones of the body. The inference is obvious: Treatment with X-ray must be supervised by experts.

C,_of + a" �a1 a s1a CL 'fIN L . .R f Gw¢ndczlitee D C1 AA As I was finishing this column last week news was just coming in of the disastrous floods in England and Holland. At the time I did not quite realize the lo- cation of the floods, then, as more details were broadcast I found it was East Anglia they were talking about—the district in which Partner and I both lived before coming to Canada. Yar- mouth — where I spent many a summer holiday with Aunt Lot- tie . . . Clacton, Felixstowe popular seaside resorts for all East Anglians — and all well fortified with seawalls and break- waters. Partner and I remember very rough seas in all these places but never flooding to any serious extent. The location doesn't make the disaster any better or worse but it always seems worse when one knows the places that are spoken of. Along the east coast the sea has been encroaching for years; cliffs have crumbled into the sea, houses have had to be demolished or moved back for safety; now this terrible tidal wave will weaken still further the seawall defences of many a coastal town. Someone said to me — "Well, I don't suppose people who have lived in those places will ever want to go back again." Oh, but they will. In time, when the de- bris has been removed, and the immediate danger has passed, the people of East Anglia will return and build their homes anew. Inconveniences, to Eng- lish country folk, are always re- garded as of a temporary na- ture, Near our home, on the banks of the River Stour, theme were many cottages. Every spring the Stour would overflow its banks. Every spring these cot- tages would be flooded and peo- ple rescued by boat from the bedrooms. And every spring, as soon as the floods had subsided, these people would return to their river -washed homes. Yes, the English are a stubborn race. Happily, all news last week was not depressing. I wonder how many people thrilled with delight as the Captain, without the aid of • tugs, docked the mighty Queen Mary at New York harbour. That would have been wonderful to see. I expect the people on deck were far too ex- cited to even think of being ner- vous. 01 course our Canadian weath- er is also in the news again. Today "it might as well be spring." But we hate to think what this changeable weather is do- ing to the wheat and clover. However, time will tell — and no amount of worrying will af- fect the result. Of greater concern at the mo- ment are the changes taking place in U.S. Governmental pol- icy, which can affect us to a greater extent than most of us probably realize. It is rather like an occasion when two great doctors disagree. One says "op- erate"; the other says "don't op - When kidneys tail to remove *accts Beide aid seoto,, back. :Abe, tired feeling, disturbed root oltoh /olio*, Dodd's Kidney Pula Wing. late kidaeye to normal duty. Yeti tool better—sleep better, work better, ant Dodd's at any drug Mora You ono depend on »odd',, crate." Meanwhile friends of the patient are bewildered, not know- ing which doctor is right. But we don't need to cross the Border — or the Atlantic — in search of problems. We do have a few of our own — what with the weather, labour trouble, de- cline in farm prices and contro- versial government reports. Even nearby cities have their troubles, more than the country if we did but know it. At any rate we don't expect to be compelled ha drink fluorinated water. Come on out to the country, folks, where we have fresh, spring water. Fine, uutil the well gives out. At such times we are ready to accept any kind of water, fluorinated or otherwise. And now may I be forgiven if I touch on a more personal mat- ter. February 6 is a date for us to remember. On that date, a year ago King George VI died. Two years ago our sister-in-law passed away while here on a visit. Eight years ago it was the wedding day for two friends of ours. Thirty-five years ago Part- ner and I were married. And this year we lost a very close friend who lived in Guelph. So you see we have plenty of reason to re- member February 6. It could hardly be said that Partner and I celebrated our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary —we don't go in for celebrations very much — but we did have cards, letters, phone calls and some beautiful red carnations — flowers which have a special sig- nificance for us. We also experi- enced a great feeling of thank- fulness. A married couple who are able to observe their 35th wedding anniversary TOGETHER have a very real cause for re- joicing, don't you think? So many have far less — more's the pity. SSEALLY TOUGH One of the most successful writers of gangster scripts on the Coast learned angles in the hard school of experience. The neigh- borhood in which he grew up, he explains, was so tough that when- ever a. cat stalked down the 'street with ears and a tail, everybody knew it was a tour- ist. A hardboiled kid who lived next door to him poured a pan of water on a passerby, and shouted a number of interesting four-letter words as an accom- paniment. The infuriated passer- by yelled, "Come down here and I'll beat the tar out of you." "Come down?" repeated the of- fending brat. "You're nuts. I can't even walk yet."

" rai avec " Came Too Soon The num who discovered ane of the world's 'first formulas for plastics—a key invention which made millions •- died the other day and left only $400. In his old age .Francis Maries had sought humble employment as a hospital storekeeper on the outskirts of London .. , and now his white- haired widow has to go out to work, Yet we live in the plastics age. In every electrle switch, every radio set, every telephone and fountain -pen, Francis Maries fac- ed a constant remainder of his bitter misfortune. Thirty years ago, while experi- menting with baby foods in his kitchen, he discovered the milk plastics formula that opened glowing vistas of fortune. Tn converted stable, he aizd a part- ner turned out plastic door plates, cutlery handles, ashtrays and other articles. Home Sold Up But Maries' bright idea won no support—or money. The business crashed. Even his little home hacl to be sold up. Until relatives came to the rescue, he and his wife hacl to sleep on bare floor- boards. Maries lived to see others reap the fruits of an invention similar to his casein formula. His failure broke his health. It so often happens, Not long ago Walt Disney was decorated with the Legion of honour at a stately French Embassy gather- ing, and in his speech of thanks he mentioned the animated car- toons had been invented by a Frenchman, Emile Cohl. What Disney didn'tknow was that Cohl was still living ---on a pit- tance of seven shillings a week relief! Strangely enuugh, the discov- ery of Emile Cohl's plight turned up another old -tinter, who was found lying ill and in need in a flat only a street or two away. Francis Michaux invented the bicycle pedal. Ultimately the French Cyclists' Touring Club had to open a subscription fund on his behalf. Nikola Tesla, too, died in New York with barely enough in the bank to pay his hotel bill, Every electric lamp marked "A.C." pays indirect tribute — but no cash tribute!—to Tesla. Back in the 'nineties he sold his new system of alternating cm. - rent for a million dollars cash. But m the course of a long life he spent so much money on laboratory experiments on new electrical inventions—and so oft- en dreamily failed to take out patents—that the net profit was nil, It is an aiizazing fact that Alex- ander Fleming and his colleagues made no attempt to patent their discovery of penicillin. As scien- tists, they intended their medical discovery to be bequeathed to the world. On the other hand, when Dr. Selman Waksman, a Russian - born American, discovered that other wonder drug, streptomycin, he patented it and made over the proceeds to the Rutgers '(Iniver. sity Research Foundation. Oise washer's Share When last reported it hatt6 lade nearly $3,000,000 on a 2 per cent royalty. In actual fact, it fn understood that Dr. Waksman takes 10 per cent of this --a neat total of $300,000 — 'and other shares and bonuses are distribute ed among a score of others. Even the widow of the laboratory dish- washer gets a share! A recommendation that British doctor's, too, should patent their medical discoveries has been made to the British Medical Aa•• sedation. If a basic discovery ix not patented, developments of it may otherwise be patented else- where. As things are, for in- stance, the British are in the de- plorable position of having to pay royalties to American firms for pencillin manufactured in Brit- ainI SPLITTING RELiE11E4 ‘" And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast relief from headache get INSTANTZNS.
