"Women Must Wait" "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 24, and was married at 16. My husband and I have always gotten along well. But for the past three years he has been working in a nearby town. He doesn't want me with him, be- cause he says he can get ahead faster and save more money this way. "I stay home and keep house, and just look forward to weekends when he comes home. We have no children, and there never Will be any, though we both love them. "Shall I keep on living like this? I, get so bored I How can he love me and not want to be home? Maybe 1 could find someone else who would he more of a com- panion? ... I do love him, though. DOLORES" * Of course, your husband loves * you.

We already had two —neither of thein satisfactory. One sounded off in a very timid tone as if afraid of the. result when the person it was to awaken really awoke. The other one rang loud and long—and kept on ringing even with the shut-off knob pushed well in. The only way to stop that clock ringing was to move the time hands backward or forward. Mov- ing theist back meant that next 'time obe of us woke us we thought —"Oh, it's early yet—plenty of time for another snooze," If we turned them forward we woke up, looked at the clock in surprise, and then remembered — "Of course — that clock is fast—no need to get up yet," The result was the saine in either case—and Partner hates to be late in the morning. If he is, then I get the blame for not wak- ing him up! So I bought us a clock—gave the whole sum of $6,25 for it, hoping it would pay for itself in the time we 'gained. The first night we had it 1 wound the alarm, wound the clock, set the alarm, and put the clock on a little table by Partner's bed. Then T told him not to blame the if he didn't wake up in the morning. Next morning the 61d alarm went off but the new one didn't ... oh, yes, we still use the old clock, I have it on my side of the bed—just in case! "By the lord Harry," said Part- ner that morning, "that clock's no good either — you might as well take it back. Or didn't you set the alarm?" he added suspiciously. "Sure '1 did—look for yourself if you don't believe isle." So Partner looked—and everything was in or- der, the alarm fully wound and set for 5.30. There was just one hitch - I hadn't pulled out the little knob that releases the alarm! However, we have worked out e system and we get along all right now. I1 1 set the elpck Partner checks it; if Partner sets it, 1 check it. But we still haven't got the per- fect clock, 1 am still hoping some- one will invent a timepiece that will make a person WANT to get up in the morning—maybe set off some kind of energizing chemical that will make a person hop out of bed ready for anything. Until that time conies the efficiency of any alarm clod: is open to question. We have also had trouble with another mechanical contraption— and thereby hangs a tale, Last spring a vacuum cleaner salesman came in several tines trying to make a deal. I told him I already bad a machine, "is it in good working order?" he asked. "1 think so—it should be anyway -- 1 have had it less than thtre years." Well, 00 one, of these visits he wanted to compare the efficiency of the two machines. 1 let him go ahead with his demonstration — after all, what had I to lose? So he showed me what his machine would do as against my own, and I had to admit his did a better job, Why shouldn't it—new brooms sweep clean, then why nut vacuums? But when this smart salesman told. me the motor in my vacuum was just abatit done he overshot the mark. 1 became skeptical. "in that rase what will you allow me on a trade-in?" I asked. Twenty- five dollars was his offer on that trip. Next time it was thirty-five. And I gave $95 for it less than three years agol To cut a long story short, my vacuum went out of commission last week, Our repair man said the trouble was in the armature and that it was something that cotlld happen evert to a new machine. "Do you tldnk it is worth fix• inx?" 1 asked. "Worth fixing!" he exclaimed, "Why, there. Is nothing wrong with Church Call, Korea — Beside a sandbagged chapel, Chaplain Lester B. Woolsey calls infantry- men to prayer with his brass "church bell." He wears combat boots and helmet because his outdoor "church" is right behind the front line bunkers. this vacuum. It is in good condi- tion and should last you for years." Of course the moral to that little story is obvious—don't always be- lieve everything a high-pressure salesman tells you. His main object is to make a sale—and all too often at the customer's expense. There are reputable agents and dealers. for most kinds of equipmnt in every town. To stay in business they must stand behind the goods they sell—most of which carry a guarantee anyway. Why not patron- ize home trade instead of dealing with fly-by-night travelling sales- men, who, once they have made a sale, very rarely return to inquire if what they sold you has proved satisfactory. Many country people are a little too trusting for their own good, and thus are easy vic- tim';.
