Dear Anne Hirst- "What call you
do with a husband that is never
satisfied?
"We've been::
married 12
years. My hus-
band has nagged
me through
them all.
"I do every-
thing he asks the
to, and try so
hard to please
hits. But it is
no use.
"In all our married life, I have
Clever been allowed to choose my
own clothes he always makes me
buy what he likes. When it is any-
thing for the house, he has to ask
his sisters' opinions first; if they
like it, he'll get it. He likes com-
pany and we have a lot. I'm con-
sidered a good cook and everybody
enjoys coming here—but his con-
stant nagging spoils everything for
me.
"He is careless ivith his clothes,
throwing them on the floor or
hanging thein on doorknobs. Then
he gripes because I don't keep the
house straight! I do keep it
straight—until he gets home.
INTERFERING FAMILY
"We have a daughter three years
old. We never see eye to eye in
correcting her. He thinks I should
spank her for every little mistake.
I've tried both ways and find I can
do more with her by talking nicely.
Then he tells me how his sisters
think she should be brought up!
"My nerves are giving way under
all this contention. He has to have
his way in everything. I have been
told he has always been this way,
from a little boy,
"I never 'tell my folks how he
treats me; I don't think it's right.
You should work things out to-
gether. Can you advise me?

By Anne Ashley

ue to mashed potatoes?

water after laundering -will help

It's so quiet in the country L, So
rluict that every noise, sonnds as
if it were broadcast throug•:r a nii-
croplione. Just dropping. off to
sleep last night when three things
happened at one and the same time•.
A Deisel'- engine• train blared its
-vay along the trach: — might have*
been heading straight for our bed-
room from the sound of it — a
four -engine plane- flea• low right
over the house, and B<�b drove
down the lane -vith his laoisy truck
eft rouse, I believe, to help some
other- fellow. also with, a truck, who
had slipped into the Utah near• our
gate. Later there- were sounds of
trucks in low gear — presumably,
a tow -truck pullfng the- other fel-,
low on to the road. Sb there' -was.
plenty of noise for half -an -hour or
so, but in the- city -where there- is
noise all the time, what I heard
would probably iieVer have been
noticed at all.
But maybe we lead' better get
ourselves used to, noise because
pretty soon there- will be lots of it.
You see we are right on a partly
constructed highway and the
equipment has already been as-
sembled for a paving job. Apparent-
ly the surface is to be what is,
known as "hot -mix." Hot ,nix or
cold mix, or anything else they
like to call it is all right with n5
just so long as we get a highway
that is free of dust, dips and ]Ion -
lows — which is -what we have had
for about twenty years, even
though this stretch of road' has
been officially known for that
length of time as Highw,,.y -No.

the noise, it is noise that will be
!last welcome.
Well, the year is surely speeding

yesterdays. Wonder why time pas-
ses so much quicker as i%e get
older? Seems just as if we were
travelling in a High-speed vehicle,
minus the brakes. And it is such
a pity to have these lovely days go
hurrying by — frosty mornings,
bright sunily days — so, different
from the weather that was handerl
out during the time the Ploughing
match was in progress at Allisiou,
You would think when so much

Theory 00
I -1 ow Vfforl d- Began
A year ago Nobel laureate Dr.
Harold' G.. Urex advanced the, hypo-
thesi's• before the National Academy
of Sciences that the newborn earth
rias- a phnn-pudding mixture of
iron -nickel alloys and stony stuff.
Iron -nickel alloys sank to -form the
dense core of the earth, the stony
inaterial;, rose to form the outer
layers.. At a recent meeting of the
academy Pie d'evel'oped this thesis:
Evidence that the earth wasongi-
nalTt• a sort of blunt pudding comes
front studies of ifle stmeture of
Afars. which is still' thought to be a
rul%ture of metal' arid' rocks,. without
aniron core. Stony meteorite, are
such MixtnrCS.
The sinking iron tore of the earth
tends to speed up the rotation of tine
earth, an effect wilic•h, says Dr.
Urey, is more than overcome by
the braking action of tidal friction.
Without aasunhiug the acceleratioii
caused by the sinking core and the
slowing down caused by tidal fric-
tion, ceriain accelerations of -the
sun and moon in their orbits call -
not he satisfactorily explanted. If.
Dr. Urey- is tight: the study of
earthquake ww' cs indicates that the
earth has not yet codip1ciely sep.
araterd into in iron core and a stony
crust.
