But now thut an dent satisfaction is gone with the wind. «- an you lakr your Job too seriously? Answer: Yes. if you attempt to make it take the place in your life that belongs to things which mean more to your natural instincts—to your need to be loved and admired, for instance. Healthy-minded men and women find their deepest satis­ faction in relationships with other human beings; they enjoy wealth or success, but do not feel their "lives depend" upon them. And only a per­ son who makes his career a "com­ pensation" for his failure to love and be loved will take it so seriously that he'll "break down" worrying about It pendent undermines her childrens feeling of security and paves the way for them to become neurotic. There are two sides to the question, and a woman whose ambitions are frus­ trated cannot be or make her chil­ dren happy, but children still want a mother who will “stay put.” Answer: The change in their status is, says Dr. Richard H. Hutchings, former President of the American Psychiatric Association. The uncer­ tainty of the average woman as to whether she should be content to be a wife and mother or have a “career” of her own and be relatively inde- Answer: Never — that’s the best way to make him unable to out-grow the habit. Once a child has learned to control himself when awake — especially if the lesson was not forced on him too early — a relapse at night is usually an expression of resent­ ment which he did not dare show in his waking hours but which is too strong to resist when he is relaxed in slumber. This may grow out of a feeling that a younger baby has usurped his place in your affections, or that you have ceased to love him, and the more he's punished, the stronger the feeling. LOOKING A T RELIGION We went into the postoffice with a bunch of special delivery letters and found ourself asking, "W ill you take a check?” Getting n negative answer, we inquired: "How's chances of opening a charge ac- { count?” That got us nowhere, either. It's all very depressing. The postoffice department has for generations been one place which it was a comfort to visit when things were high every­ where else. It never made you feel like taking your trade some other place. A simple valve developed dur­ ing World War II to give oxygen to wounded flyers at high a lti­ tudes ia now being used to treat polio pntlenta. The Mine Safety Appliance com­ pany, which originated the mask- like devise, said research and ex­ perimentation has been under­ way since the war's end to adopt the valve to respiratory ailments.

Parcel post rates, money order fees and almost everything except run-of-the-mill letters and postal cards have been jumped We heard a fellow at a stamp window ask, "What's the down payment and how much per week?” as he got the bill when depositing quite a load of mail yesterday. Should a child be punished for bed-wetting? Are women responsible for the spread of neurosis? The Forgotten Man's last firm friend, the U. S. postoffice depart­ ment, has walked out on him. New postage rates which went into ef­ fect the first of this year make a luxury out of correspondence. The stamp window threatens to get into the same class with the night club, the musical comedy and the new model auto. -----* ----- W a r Devise to Aid Polio Victims M ore than just ; a TONIC- p ra c tic a l Fro ck U ERE'S a neat, practical house frock to start .your day with a smile.
