Then here's flash news for you, and for students in other classes, too--it comes from seniors. Seniors have one thing in com- mon, it seems. A group of them told me recently that if they could talk with you freshmen they'd all say the same thing . . . give you the same tip. It's this: Many seniors are sorry now that they didn't do more book- work and get beter marks or grades when they were freshmen. "When you get to be a senior, you think and plan about going to ag- other school or college," they ex- plained. "It's preity disappointing | not. to be able to go to the school of your choice simply because your | freshman grades weren't up to par." | They continued: "It makes you w ish that you'd got down to brass WILLIAMS Y. = ) > 4 ¥ le [3 A 4 ', tacks sooner.and studied more when | you were a freshman. Bad fresh- man and sophomore marks can do a lot of damage to your four-year record . . , and you're syre to be sorry when it's too late." "My advice to freshmen is this," said one boy, a popular senior. "Put studies first. Get into a study habit --that 1s, make it a habit to do your studies every day. Let some other guy be a comedian in study periods, not you!" , "I'd like to tell freshmen this" added a girl. "Do your studying first apd you'll find that you'll still have "time for fun and various school activities."

Knowlton, Professor of Industrial Engineering, North- eastern University at Boston, says in a magazine article that the housewife works about six hours as a general rule and has an easy. racket. "Furthermore," he says, 'she would not even have to work as long as she does if she did her job well. If she wasn't stubborn, tied down by tradition, a poor organ- izer, and even just plain lazy, she could be free most of the day." Hours looking at television, lis- tening to radio soap operas and entertaining or visiting neighbors, and even naps are usually con- sidered part of thc household labor, Prof. Knowlton says. His. conclusions are based on a coast-to-coast scientific survey. 'The reports in our survey re- vealed that in most instances wo- men regarded housework with dis- taste and rushed through it hap- hazardly wasting time and energy. Yet, if approached scientifically, it can be not only an easier job than it is now, but an interesting game," Prof. Knowlton says. Knowlton's article in The Ameri- can Magazine explains many short cuts of industrial engineering that he says will enable the housewife to become more efficient. ----p-------------- HOUSEHOLD HINT A good washing solution for win- dows that are very soiled is to take two tablespoons of vinegar or ammonia to two quarts of warm water. A very fine scouring powder or whiting may be applied in a light coating with a damp cloth or sponge. Wait until it is almost dry, then remove the coating with a soft,.clean, lintless cloth, 2 eekly Sew- Thrifty Perk-Ups" .-to help increase your popularity, send a stamped, self- addressed envelope to Elinor Wil- liams at this paper. Hello Homemakers! .-Money- does not grow on trees! Yet when folks shop for Christmas cake ingre- dients they forget to include such items on their budget. Too often we make a gift list, but forget to esti- mate not only the festive foods, the cards and postage, decorations, gift wrapping, tickets for concerts, the tree and allowance for extras.

Flace the molds in a steamer over boiling water or on a rack in To WOM DEAR MARY HAWORTH: My husband and I are terribly. wor- ried about a very dear friend, I'll call her Molly. She is middle aged, attractive, and very well to-do; a widow, with a great many friends. Unfortunately, through us she met a scheming man who is a few years younger than herself; and she seems to have fallen deep- ly in love with him. We know this fellow Ralph is only after her money; but she thinks he is perfect, and nothing we say makes any difference. He is absolutely false, yet she is so silly about him that we fear he may "get everything she owns. Some- years ago he captivated an- other widow, who left him all her money when she died. How anyone can see anything likeable about the fellow is more than we can understand. He is lazy, vulgar, conceited, bad tem- pered and far from good looking. And he has no money, as he is too lazy to work more than an hour or two a day. How can we help the situation? We feel that Molly's friends may blame us. This is an urgent S-O-8 so please answer soon. Why, oh why, are women such fools? . -Y. C. WOMAN'S PROTEST LACKS COHERENCE DEAR Y. C.: The fellow may be a bounder, as you insist. And his success with another widow, now deceased, who left her estate to him, may have been the oppor- tunist enterprise you imply. But still, your stormy castigation of his character is rather too emo- tional to come under the heading of keen analytical appraisal. Somehow I get the impression that you and Ralph are having an intensely personal exchange of Woodland Friends : MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL:- Regrets Share in Introduction bad will, as regards his atten- tions to Molly. It's true that you speak in the name' of your hus- band and yourself, in 'regretting your part in bringing them to- gether, and in voicing concern for her welfare as his devotee; but I detect little (if any) of the mascu- line viewpoint in your slam-bang subjective protest. Thus I think the agitation is mostly in your mind; and that you ring your hus- band into your comments largely as a rhetorical flourish, to lend figurative authority to your argu- ment. If Ralph 'were the odious per- sonality and unprincipled schemer you depict, who to your certain knowledge had already fleeced one woman in guise of sentiment, why would you have made him acquainted with your friend Molly, when you feel so protective of her interests? It occurs to me that your poor opinion of him has de- veloped recently--because surely you wouldn't have thrown him in her path, if, prior to their meet- ing, you had entrenched misgiv- ings about his intentions towards women with money. UNWISE TO UMPIRE IN FRIEND'S LIFE The hidden fact of the matter may be that you rather smugly valued Ralph as a bachelor friend of your household, and a social asset in planning foursomes, until such time as he and Molly were introduced, and seemed to turn their backs on you, in sudden in- fatuation with each other. It is possible that, at first, you tried to break this up and retrieve your bachelor, by telling Molly of his alleged fortune-hunting bias. And maybe she divulged the confidence to him impulsively, with the result that he was able to win her trust, while freezing into rude rejecting hauteur towards you for defaming him. As an example of your incon- | sistent carping, you say on the one hand that Ralph has no money, being too lazy to work; yet on the other hand you point a finger of scorn at funds bequeathed him by a foolish female. So I can't help wondering--just what is the inside story, and what is your real complaint? It is neurotic to become 80 exercised about an- other adult's prospective follies, if one is not the legal guardian; and it is inappropriate to try to um- pire the love-life of your friend Molly, who is of an age when no- body can save her from mistakes she chooses to make. It seems to me that your prob- lem has to do with a peculiarly hostile involvement with Ralph; and one is reminded of the say- ing "Hell hath no fury like a wo- man scorned." My advice is to examine your thoughts and feel- ings, as closely as you can observe their spontaneous play, in order to discover just what, exactly, you've got against him. For the rest, I am sure that sensible peo- ple won't hold you responsible for Molly's behavior; although they might, with justification, question your motives, if you worry obses- Hollywood Highlights _ By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP) -- The Barry- more clan is adding another mem- ber to its acting dynasty--beauti- ful, brunette Dolores, who is wil- ling to work her way up from the ranks If you're interested in family trees, you should know that Do- lores is the daughter of Dolores Costello and John Barrymore, the niece of Ethel and Lionel, the sister of John, Jr., and the half- sister of Diana. » Until recently, her sole ocgupa- tion was being a housewife and mother "at her modest Hollywood apartment. But then the Barry- more blood began to prevail. "I had never thought about being an actress," said Dolores, who is 21. "I have never acted in my life, although I have taken drama in school. But my brother John has been after me for two years to give it a try, and I decided it might be worth the chance. 'Even though I have never acted, I think # comes naturally to me because I have always liked to pretend. And I have always en- joyed keeping busy with a variety of interests. Now that the'baby is a year old and I have learned to do housework--I literally coudn't boil an egg when I was married--I find I have too much time on my hands. I thought of doing model work, but I think acting will be more stimulating. "I'm willing to take any role to keep busy. Naturally I wouldn't be sorry if stardom would come. But my acting would never be more important than my home life." Dolores said hér family was de- lighted with her decision, es- pecially her mother, "who always wanted me to be an actesss." She also received the approval of her Aunt Ethel, who acts as coach and guide to younget members of the family. The budding actress has hired Hersel an agent and has had sev- eral promising interviews at stu- dios. She even tried to acquire a new name for her billing. She wan- ted to call herself Blythe Barry- more, the first handle coming from the real family name, Blyth. But { her agent vetoed that and she'll be known professionally as Dolores Barrymore. EN In The LPasasasinnite v 7 CHILD GUIDANCE:- Consistency in Child Management By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. IT'S very hard for the growing child to conform and co-operate and be happy when either parent is very inconsistent in his man- agement and guidance of this child. | Still harder it can "be for this child when his parents are incon- sistent with each other, when they disagree, especially in his presence over his upbringing. And- usually, as one parent leans heavily in one direction, the other in consequence leans more heavily in the opposite direction. The more lenient one .grows still more lenient; and the more severe one grows still more severe. The poor child is the victim in a no- man's land. NOTIONS CONFLICT Suppose you were a registered | nurse with considerable hospital experience with children and you | had a husband who did not share your notions about routines and | discipline. Suppose you two par- | ents seemed to have no trouble | managing your child two years old, | but have faced great difficulties | with her since her baby sister ar-| rived six months ago. | Imagine the conflicts which | could arise between you as the| older child, at the age of greatest | negativism, and normally inclin- | ed to suffer from jealousy, does | not "espond to the kind of disci- | pline which worked when she was | the only child, especially if your | husband refused to restrain this | child and interfered when you | tried to do so. Being a nurse, | you may not have much practice | at winsome persuasion, nor have met the kind of stbbornness | which faces you now. { This registered nurse writes: | "For the most part we have! found common sense the solution to any particular problem with | our child, two years old. But for | the past six months since our baby | was born, we have all been miser- | able. | "My husband has refused to! discipline the older child in any | way unless she happens to be an- | noying him and more often than | not picks her up and pets her after | he does punish her. When wn" around she is unruly and unman- ageable. If I correct her he scolds me in front of her and then sympathizes with her and lets her repeat the act for which she has been punishedd." The» mother reports the child's reversion to bowel and bladder in- continence and instances of her stubbornness, but says the young- ster was "well prepared for the new baby," is allowed to help in her care, and is given consider- able attention. TRY A TRUCE My reply in part: I wish I knew how to help change your hus- band's ways. Try to have a truce, when you will make some conces- sions, hoping he will, also; espe- cially that he will "cease fire" when you and the child are '"'engaged." After you have studied my bul letins on "Jealousy" and "Stub- bornness'" (enclosed in your stamped envelope), admit that you have put too much emphasis on force and not enough on pa- tient persuasion and on helping this older child feel secure. And if you would relax a bit in sever- ity of discipline he might stiffen up. Compliment him on his show of affection to her but help him see that he should practice such when it will do the most good. Want to buy, sell or trade?
