"Women Must Wait" "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 24, and was married at 16. My husband aiid I have always gotten along well. But for the past three years he has Steen 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 1 How can Le love me and not want to be home? Maybe 1 could find someone else who would be more of a corn- panion? .. - I do love him, though.

We already had two —neither of them 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 evert 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 them back meant that next time one of us woke us we thought —"Oh, it's early yet—plenty s of time for another snooze." If we turned then 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 sante in either case—and Partner hates to be late iu 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, eloping it would pay for itself in the tune we gained. •The first night we lead it 1,wQ�rirla the alarm, wound the clack,'eel flet, alarm, and put the clock on a little table by Partner's bed. Then I told him not to blame me if he didn't wake up in the morning. Next morning the old 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 I did—look for yourself if you don't believe nie." So Partner looked—and everything was in or- der, the alarm fully wound and set for 5.30. There was just one hitch — 1 hadn't pulled out the Little knob that releases the alarm! However, we have worked out a system and we get along all right now. If I set the clock Partner checks it; if Partner sets it, I check it. But we still haven't got the per- fect clock. i am stilt hoping some- one will invent a timepiece that will make a person \VANT 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 comes the efficiency of any alarm clock is open to question, 'We have also had trotiblc with another mechanical contraption— and thereby hangs a tale. Last spring a vacuum cleaner salesman came in several tines trying to snake a deal. I told him 1 already had a machine. "is it in good working order?" he asked. "I think so—it should be anyway — I have had it less than tin ee years." Well, on out 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—ucw brooms sweep clean, then why not vacuums? But when this smart salesman told me the motor in my vacuum was just about done he overshot the mark. I became skeptical. "In •:that case 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 ago! TO cut a long story short, my vacuum went out of comtnissi.on last week, Our repair man said the trouble was its the armature and that it was something that could happen even to a new machine, "Do you think it is worth Lot - Mx?" ` asked. "Worth fixing!" he exclaimed, "why, there is nothing wrong with Church Call, Korea -- Beside a sandbagged chapel, Chaplain Lester 8. Woolsey calls infantry- men to prayer with his brass "church bell-" He wears combat- boots ombatboots 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 stake a sale—and all too often at the customer's expense. There are reputable agents and dealers for most kinds of equipi'rtnt 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 horse 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- tims.

By pouring about a tablespoon of ground coffee into a cup of cold water, If the coffee floats and the water is colored very slowly, it is good, pure coffee. If, however, any, of the coffee sinks to the bottom, or it stains the water quickly, there is some adulterant present in the coffee. Q. How can I remove obstinate stains from linoleum? A. A tablespoonful of paraffin added to the water when washing linoleum helps to remove the stains and acts as a preservative for the linoleum. Q. How can I clean grease ac- cumulations •out of clogged drain pipes ? A. Put some baling soda down the drain and then pour in a little vinegar. Q. How can I prevent streetcar or train sickness? A. This can be prevented by beating the white of an egg stiff, adding the juice of one lemon, and one teaspoon of sugar, and taking this before starting on the journey. It is usually an effective protection against that nauseating feeling. Q. How can I remove scratches successfully from walnut furniture? A. Cut a walnut or a Brazil nut kernel in half and rub the scratch vigorously with the freshly -cut nut. The oil from the kernel will re- finish the wood. Q. How can I prevent patent leather shoes and handbags from cracking? • A. Rub them occasionally with a cloth dipped its glycerin. Q. How can I give a different flavor to pie crusts? A. A delicious addition to the pie crusts is a little spice. Try putting a quarter teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves into each one - and -a -half cups of flour. This is especially good with fresh fruit or berry pies. Q. How can I remove a glass cork that has broken off in the neck of the bottle? A. Hold the neck of the bottle in boiling water for a few minutes, and then tap it gently with a wood- en ,block. Q, How can I completely dispel anion breath? A. Onion breath can be com- pletely dispelled by sipping about on teaspoonful of vinegar, or eating a sprig of parsley.' Q. How can I sharpen sewing machine needles that have become dull? A. They can be sharpened by stitching :for several inches through. a piece of fine sandpaper. PREPOSTEROUS A millionaire decided to build a luxurious bungalow on his moun- tain retreat..
