POCATELLO, Idaho, November 15 (#).—Enrollee William Brown of Los Angeles sneezed so hard while at work in a Pocatello C. C. C. district camp that his shoulder blade flew out of place. He was brought to a hospital. An X-ray revealed setting of the bone would be painful. Brown was put on the operating table. A nurse prepared the ether. A whiff of it struck Brown's nose. He let out a powerful “ca-choo.” The shoulder blade snapped back into place. e Sentenced for Embezzlement. PORTLAND, Oreg., November 15 | (#).—Ira S.

Chest Dollars in Action He “didn't understand his wife.” It makes a good catchword, a fine theme for a humorous article, but & mighty poor foundation for do- mestic happiness. In the case of Mr. and Mrs. H, however. it was literally true. He was a succeessful executive, and prided himself on using the best psychological technique in his deal- ings with his employes and+¢his busi- ness associates, but somehow or other, he never tried it on his wife. Tragically enough, when he finally came to the realization that it might be just as necessary to understand one’s wife as one's office assistant, it was too late. His wife had left him. Trouble in. the Soul. Through the good offices of a mutual friend, the wife was persuaded to have an interview with Miss Beaulah Smith, the director of the Life Adjustment Center at 1410 Co- lJumbia road. There was no question of physical need, only an emptiness of the soul. So embittered was Mrs. H. by her marital experience that she would only appear on the condition that her husband would make no effort H N With to follow her or to find out where she was living. The promise was given and kept, but tact and an understanding of the mysterious workings of the human mind on the part of the trained psychiatrists who give their services to the Center brought about the opportunity to interview both Mr. and Mrs. H. and to discover the basic cause of the failure of the couple to adjust their temperaments and personalities so life together would be compatible. Reconciliation Follows. The problem was soon solved, the home was again established, and, ac- cording to reports received at the Center a year after the reconciliation, Mr. and Mrs. H. were happier than they had ever been before. The Life Adjustment Center for adults and the Child Guidance Clinic, both of which serve all nationalities, creeds, and colors, are the two divi- sions of the Washington Institute for Mental Hygiene, which is one of the agencies that are maintained by the Community Chest to bring health and happiness to the residents of Washington. and Already Popular Women Everywhere $1 8.75 Might we suggest the thought that it is not too soon for Christ- mas selections. lay aside mas deli We will gladly any purchase for Christ- very. 926 F Street, N.W, TRIP ABROAD HINTED BY MRS.
