Should Sons DEAR MISS DIX—Should I have my boys as well as my girls make their own beds, wash the dishes, set the table and help me carry in the fcod so_that I can sit down and eat with them? I have a friend who tells me I am doing wrong, and that I should not expect my boys to help with the housework. My boys do not object to doing this work and’ it saves me so that I have time to play with them and am not too tired to enjoy my home and loved ones. DIXY. ANSWER—! think you are doing exactly right. I have never been able to see any reason why the boys in a family shouldn't do their share of household chores as well as the girls. They enjoy the good food and the cleanliness and order of the house and should be ex- pected to do their share in contributing to the general good. When a woman has daughters she expects them, as a matter of course, to assist her in the housework, but only too often she not only does not ask any help of her sons, but waits upon them like a slave and virtually encourages them in making more labor for her and their sisters to do. WHY mothers show this partiality to their sons, nobody knows. Prob- ably it goes back to the old days of feminine subserviency when wives were nothing but servants to their husbands, and when a woman never even dreamed of sitting at the table with the lords of creation. ‘This custom still prevails in parts of the Orient where the husband eats first. Then his sons, and after that mother and the girls get what- ever scraps are left over, ‘ Certainly there is no humiliation to a boy in helping his mother with the housework, or anything that breaks down his morale and makes him less manly. All the embryo officers of West Point and Annapolis make their own Beds. The Boy Scouts are taught to cook and sweep and clean meticulously, and doing his own cooking is one of thc chief kicks that a man gets out of camping. (CONSIDER, my dear Mrs. Dixy, what a great boon you are going to confer upon your sons’ future wives by rearing for them hus- bands who are handy around the house, and who will know how to get a meal in an emergency and be able to sweep a room without breaking up half of the furniture. About three-fourths of the work that women have to do is made for them by the carelessness of men. | ‘These men are not intentionally overburdening their wives. They are just careless, and they are careless because they have never been taught to wait on themselves and to be orderly. But if they had been brought up to scrub floors and sweep and dust and keep a house tidy they would know how much work it takes and they would not increase it unnecessarily. A BOY who has been brought up to help with the housework will have more sympathy for his wife, because he will know by actual ex- perience how much time and how many steps it takes to prepare a good dinner, and keep a house bright and shiny. He will not be under the illusion that so many men have, that women conjure good meals out of the air without labor, and that the housewife spends her time lying on a coush reading thet latest novel. ’ I think that it makes children love their home better to do their part of the work of making a home. - They feel a pride in being able to perform certain tasks and in having certain responsibilities placed upon their shoulders. And what a relief it would be to many a poor, overworked mother to have the help her children could give her if she would cnly use their waste energy! DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.)

You have time to learn your jcb well, and if ever you find that making your own home doesn't keep you busy you will be well equipped to go out and make a living. The college courses in dietetics nat- urally include cooking and domestic science. There are a great many jobs for graduate dieticians. Every hospital employs one to take charge of its menus. Most big schools have dieti- clans. As a rule, the cooking depart- ment of a newspaper or magazine is in the charge of a dietician. Some hotels employ them. Several manufacturers of food products employ dieticians to experiment with their product. For in- stance, a canner of pineapple employs an expert to get up new ways of serv- ing pineapple and of combining it with other focd. Several large advertising agencies employ dieticians in order to give better service to their customers who advertise foods. One newspaper, for instance, has a big experimental kitchen. The head of |1t is a dietician, and usually there are one or two assistant dieticians who Cooking Puts on Airs. Now here’s an encouraging letter. It's as charming as it is intelligent.

Streaky Windows. “I have had trouble cleaning win- dows,” writes J. B. “I have tried vari- ous methods but the windows always look streaky when the light strikes them. Do you think the trouble could be with the window glass?” | Probably the trouble is not with the glass, but with the method used in | cleaning. Streakiness usually results | from the use of too much water. If you use enough water to run down the glass they are sure to look streaky. It is| usually best not to use soap on windows. Use clear water with a little alcohol or ammonia. ‘You may use kerosene in the water, but that has an unpleasant odor. You may use washing soda in the water, but that is hard on the hands. Use clean cloths free from lint and wash quickly, using just enough water on the cloth to moisten. As soon as you have removed all dirt take a soft dry cloth and wipe thoroughly. It is a good plan to have some soft tissue paper to use | after you have used the dry cloth to pol- | ish the windows. Some housewives clean windows by applying a fine scourer with just enough water to make a paste. This is allowed to dry on the window and is then rubbed off with a soft cloth. ‘Windows may be kept looking clean much longer between regular cleaning times if the insides are regularly dusted every day or two. This should be done with a soft, dry dusting cloth. If a spot or streak occurs that cannot be wiped off with the duster it may be removed with a cloth moistened with a little alcohol. = (Copvright, 1931.) My Neighbor Says: Melted fat should not be hot when added to cake mixture, as hot fat is likely to make cake tough, course grained and heavy. Old nail holes may be filled with a mixture made of fine saw- dust and glue. Fill the hole with it and Ieave till dry. When cooking sour fruit add a pinch of carbonate of soda to the Juice and it will require less sugar. Damp towels should never be put into a clothes basket or bag and left there for days before being sent to the wash. Mildew is almost sure to result. Before being put into the basket, towels should be carefully dried. Plan certain duties to be done daily, taking care not to plan so steak or two on her way home.

So you see there are ever so many jobs for a girl who likes to cook and much that it cannot be accom- plished. (Copyright, 1931.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Diversion. | If you are a pessimist, you will agree with those philosophers who hold that | we take diversion to escape life. If you jare an optimist, you will agree with those philosophers who hold that we take diversion to get more life. ‘Why diversion anyway? We need it in order to shift the center of gravita- tion. Working at one job all the time makes us sore in the spot where the burdens of life press constantly. As a child, the one biz ambition was to got off all-fours and stand erect. That was diversion. Then came the craving for long trcusers and long skirts, for sus- penders and rouge. These make one feel different, for the center of mental gravity shifts to a new plane, feet on your officz desk, and the heart gets a rest. The center of gravity for the blood is shifted to an easy flood- ‘| plain. Sleep comes about for the same reason. It is easy to understand that we get tired of one thing because our brain can't stand the stress of concentration. The ®rain developed in strata or layers, as we grew up from the animal stage. | ‘The strata or layers which came late in | the process of evolution tire first. When they are fatigued, we long to slip back to the older strata—fishing, hunting, playing, and even acting silly.

I am only a young girl of 14 and find that I am get- ting bunions. Is there any way to pre- vent their coming? JUST POURTEEN. Answer.—The most frequent cause of bunions is improperly fitted shoes. The | normal position of the great toe is| straight forward. Short shoes cause the toes to curl under, while narrow shoes crowd them together so that one toe | may be pushed up out of alignment with the others. Shoes with a straight | inner line will help prevent bunions. At bedtime soak the feet in hot water, | rinse well and dry and then paint the bunions with a lotion made of equal parts of belladonna and jodine. Dur- ing the day wear bunion pads. %’ou are very young to be troubled with foot deformities such as bunions, | and it might be advisable for you to see | a reliable chiropodist.

Dear Miss Leeds: Mv hei- g rally wavy, but very coarse and dry. B there any special rinss you \..uisi re.- ommend which would make my hair easier to handle after a shampoo? M. M. M. Answer.—A vinégar rinse is very good for softening coarse or harsh hair. As a final rinse, use vinegar and tepld water in the portions of one-halfl cupful of vinegar to one quart of water. This rinse not only makes the hair more liable, but it also helps dissolve any sticky soap curd which might be left on he hair when it is necessary to use hard water for the shampoo. LOIS LEEDS. Planning Meals. To plan meals for a week in advance has many advantages. It permits of economical marketing and of purchas- ing in larger quantities. It reduces the time required for marketing, as regular days once or twice a week will suffice, instead of shopping for small amounts every day. It enables the housewife to cook for more than one meal at a time, which saves in the use and washing of kitchen utensils. It permits of prepa- ration many hours in advance of the actual meal, allowing more free time for the_housewife.
