Be careful nct to rub around the top of the glass, but merely as high as the tomato juice will come. It is amazing what this does to heighten the zest of the bev- erage. It is the same method used whep making Prench dressing in which the mixing bowl is rubbed with half an onion, slightly squeezed during the process. Onian in chicken stuffing or that for other birds not only makes the stuffing better, but the fumes permeate the meat fibres and supply flavor that is relished. ‘When you roast lamb put one or two peeled onions in the roasting pan.

(Copyright, 1033.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Pleasure in Pain. Human beings are the most interest- ing of all the creatures of nature, and also the most puzzling. The business of psychology is to solve the puzzles. ‘Why do some persons derive a peculiar pleasure from pain? None of the psy- chologists really know. Those who think they know have coined a new term. They call it masochism. As though a word were an explanation! Masochism is the word to use when you want to de- scribe the motive of a person who likes to be abused. History records for us a lot of things about the behavior of human beings, yet history teaches practically nothing about the reasons for behavior. So it wouldn't surprise one in the least to hear some one say that masochism is the cause of war, or the cause of any other pain- producing set-up! About 1200 A.D. there sprang up in Italy and Germany a well organi in- stitation. People went about whipping one another, and they went in groups of various sizes. They would select a day, say Good Friday, and practice their col- l‘ec‘ti!sve self-inflictions with a cat-o’-nine- ails. I have said that no one knows why these so-called flagellants flourished. Perhaps they were purging their souls in preparation for a future world, or per- haps they were merely “showing off.” Or perhaps they had nothing else to do, or wanted something to boast about.

Some of them may do you deliberate injury. But you would not nurse a grudge against a slippery sidewalk on which you fell and hurt your elbow or broke your ankle. You would not try to exact ven- geance on a gale that blew your hat away. Why, if you do not hold grudges against inanimate objects, do you fret your soul and sour your existence by harboring spites against human beings who have harmed you? 1 have known a number of men who made it their business to “get even” and they all were desperately unhappy. Even when they were successful in carrying out their “eye-for-eye, tooth- for-tooth” policy, the fruits of revenge were bitter in their mouths. * Xk % After & human being has arrived at the age of 21 he should realize that there are hatreds and injustices and evils in the world and that there are a great many people who will not play the game fairly.

WARHING A SAMOPHONE AND A SET OF TRAPS MOVE INTO THE APARTMENT OPSTARS (Copyrigit, 1953, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) EEN " DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—I am a bachelor of 40 and I raise pedigreed dogs. I judge girls as I do dogs and horses, and the percentage of good ones is very small. A plug horse, a plug dog and a plug woman are worthless, according to my idea. Most men don’t consider anything but a girl's looks, but I don't want one unless she is as well bred as my dogs. Recently I have met a girl who scores more rcinu of quality than any other I have seen. She is pretty, sweet, emart, level-headed and will bear knowing well. Do yoy think she is ’: séfec risk? Answer: She sounds good to me. It certainly is encouraging to hear of even one man who gives the onceover as carefully to the woman he prm;a to make his wife and the mother of his children as he does a I‘!‘muwm»bemmmzthln‘tommtlmmwoumn'tnlr $50 for & pup without investigating its pedigree and taking into consid- eration the stock from which it came, but that he will marry a woman without ever making an effort to find out what sort of family she comes w. what, kind ‘of blood flows in her veins and what sort of inheritance ° will ueath her children. Men are particular about getting a thoroughbred dog or a thoroughbred horse, but they are satisfied with a scrub_woman. Queer, isn't it? Especially when you reflect that 9 times out of 10 a woman throws right back to her breeding. If she comes of a high- minded and honorable family, she is pretty certain to be high-minded and honorable herself and make the sort of wife that & man can trust with his honor and his name. If she comes of an industrious and thrifty family, she will have been taught how to work and save and she will make a wife who will be a helpmate. If she comes of a family which has lived together in harmony, which has controlled its tempers and respected the rights of others, she will make s peaceful home, IP‘ A girl comes of s family that has no standards of conduct and its members lie and cheat, she will make the sort of wife who thinks that what a man doesn't know doesn’t hurt and she will pad the bills and have her little affairs. If she comes of a wasteful and extravagant family, she will be wasteful and extravagant too, and if she comes of a family which indulged its tempers and fought like cats and dogs, her home also will be a place of turmoil. So it is just as much worth while for § man to give a little thought to his sweetheart’s mother as it is to his s mother. For thoroughbreds beget thoroughbreds and scrubs beget scrubs through all kingdom. I think the points of your girl are well near to being the formula for an ideal wife. GOOD looks—a man naturally likes something that is easy on the eyes when he has to look at it every day of his life, year after year. Beawby 1s not a necessary attribute of a wife, but it certainly is desirable. Bweet- ness—that insures you a wife who is gentle and tender and amiable and who will know how to use tact in getting along with Intelligent— you will never be bored with a wife who reads and t! and keeps u with the times, and who will always be an interesting companion, wif whom you can chin-chin without ever running out of talk. Level-headed—common sense—the greatest of all gifts in because she will never run away with fads. She will never be neurotic, but will see life fairly and squarely and make the best of it. She will never expect the impossible of you. She will never demand that you be & little tin god. She will pull her weight in the boat and make a wife who is responsible. And better than that no man can ask. DOROTHY DIX. . . DEAR DOROTHY DIX—This depression has necessitated s change of outlook and of plans with many of us, but should we allow it to send 'us into a panic and into cutting away everything which is not an absolute necessity? Is the sane view during this time of stress that of doing away with everything that one can possibly do without? Or should one keep going as well as one can and try to forget the depression when it is possible to do s0? Thst.lamygl:blem. Our son is to be graduated from high school. He can get a scholarship and will be able to live at home while attending a nearby college, but my husband thinks that in times like these the boy should not go to college. He ghould be brought face to face with the world and its problems at once. He is perfectly willing to support B. until he gets a job, even if it takes two years, but not to send him to college. What should we do? ANXIOUS MOTHER. Answer: One of the worst phases of the depression has been that people have lost their sense of values and 50 many have been swept to extremes. Turned either into wasters or misers. ON EVERY hand I hear people say that they mnever intend to try to savg anything again, that they are going to spend as they make it. “What's the good of denying yourself and scrimping and pinching to lay up & little nest egg for your old age when the stocks and bonds that you thought were so gilt-edged turned into so much worthless paper, and even the money you have in a bank is lost in a crash?” On the other hand, there are those who, because times are so hard and jobs so insecure and they have seen so many gaunt, haggard-eyed men out of work, are afraid to spend a dime and deny themselves and their families even the common comforts of life. “Save. Save. Save,” is their bry, “because you con't know what is going to happen tomorrow.” They go shabby. They have cut down on the table. They have put up their cars. They go to no places of amusement. And, with their pockets bulging with money, they are in actual want because they are so terrorized by the bogey of poverty that stalks them and that they have conjured out of their imaginations. OF COURSE, the middle path between extravagance and hoarding is the right one to take. It is foolish not to put something aside for a rainy day, but it is equally ‘foolish not to enjoy the sunshine because it may some time rain. A large part of the present economic crisis is due to people being afraid to spend, and thus keeping morey out of circulation. So it becomes a matter of public duty for every family to get back on s normal basis of buying as soon as it can and indulge in everything it can afford. If your boy is of college material md‘flyou intended sending him to can afford it, there is no reason for DOROTHY DIX. the animal college before the depression and you changing your plans now.
