'As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Threatens To Leave His Wife Destitute Some husbands seem to delight in making their wives feel that they must obey them in every thing regardless of their own feelings. Some even hold over their wives heads the threat of leaving them penniless. (Q) "My husband has threat ened to leave me and go to another slate. This happens every time we have an argu ment or whenever I ask him for money for myself and our children, or object to his drink ing and going around with other women. Now he tells ' me that the next time I say anything about his drinking, it will be my last chance lo 'boss' him, as he calls it. "We have three small chil dren, the youngest less than a year old. I can't leave them and go out to work. My par ents are old, in poor health, and have only a small pension to live on. It is hard enough for them to make ends meet as it is without me bringing the children to live with them. I feel trapped and don't know where to turn. What do you advise me to do?" (A) There are three pieces of advice I can give you. First, do not go back to your parents, ex cept in a case of real emerg ency. It is not fair to them to give them this burden, and it is not fair to your children to deprive them of a mother's care while you go out to work. Second, consult jour minister about taking your problem to a domestic relations court to Bee if something can be done to make your husband behave as a hus band and father should. If not, perhaps a legal separation with financial provision for you and the three children would be the solution. Finally, avoid antagonizing him until you get the law on your side. Otherwise he may carry out his threat and leave the state. Then you and the chil dren would be destitute. I know t is hard to be "trapped" but look upon this only as a tem porary condition, until you make some arrangements with the court. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.) Capetown U.R) Three West Indian stowaways were being held in prison today awaiting return to the West Indies. Police said the three stowed away in the British ship Resisunt, hoping to get a free ride to Britain. Only when they revealed their presence did they find the ship was bound for South Africa. Lounty Chapter of OSC Mothers' Club Organized at Meeting; Dean Honored A Jackson county unit of Oregon State College Mothers' club was organized at a luncheon meeting yesterday noon, and Mrs. H. W. Crain, Medford, was named president. The meeting was held at the Medford hotel, and Miss Helen S. Moor, dean of women at the school, was honored guest. Dr. Hurlock Mrs. Frank Lambo, Medford, was named vice-president, Mrs. John Bohnert, Central Point, secretary and Mrs. Orrin L. Brown, Medford, treasurer. Mrs. John Carter served as temporary chairman, and Miss Moor was introduced by Mrs. Elmo Stevenson, Ashland. Miss Moor spent the weekend in Ash land as a guest of Dr. Stevenson, president of Southern Oregon college, and Mrs. Stevenson. Miss Moor spoke of the func tion of the mothers' clubs, say ing they were one of the great est sources of strength of OSC, and added that in addition to providing support for the school in a variety of manners, the clubs also raised funds for scholarships. Eighteen were awarded last year, she stated, each being for a full year's tui tion. She said these were not awarded on the basis of supe rior scholarship alone, but to students of outstanding leader ship and citizenship. They are announced each year during the Mothers' weekend program' at the college. The dean also explained oth er organizations which support the school, naming a federation of mothers, fathers, alumni and students, and a foundation through which financial gifts are made to the school. Miss Moor spoke briefly of the school in general, saying OSC was making an effort to raise academic standards, but that students were often given a chance to improve their scholar ship before being dropped. She spoke of the plan to have host esses for all fraternity chapters and of a new plan which pro vides upperclass counselors for freshmen women. Mrs. Herschel Morris sang, accompanied by Mrs. Crain. The tables were decorated with bowls of yellow daffodils and forsythia arranged by Mrs. Brown.

ID OES HAPPEN Sometimes "popular demand" will push the best-known stocks beyond their real value. These may be vulnerable to sudden market changes. On the other hand, certain under valued securities ignored today by the public may be the leaders tomorrow. Markets go up and markets go down but good values are always available.

Hawaii (U.R) Mol ten laval pushed today against an earthen dike thrown up hast ily by six buldozers m an at tempt to save a sugar plantation camp from destruction. The eight buldings in t n e camp housed about a dozen wor kers, who were evacuated yes terday before the bulldozers were called in. The lava flowed from an out burst in the Kilauea volcanic field about a mile above the camp. Early today, it was edg ing slowly along the dike but it could not be told whether it would break down the 200 foot long barrier. Offshoot of Main Flow Seismologist Jerry Eaton of the Hawaiian Volcano observa tory, said to his knowledge it was the first time any such method was ever attempted to divert a lava flow. The lava threatening the camp was an offshoot of the main flow which had moved about VA miles through forest and cane land after bursting out of a re activated cone near Illewa cra ter. Observers predicted the flow might reach the sea sometime today. The flow yesterday destroyed one home, ate through 80 acres of sugar cane and isolated about a dozen head of horses and cat tle. The flow was being fed by a fountain hurling lava 300 to 400 feet in the air. Chicago U.R) William Masa mitsu told police Monday why his dog Rex wouldn't come when called. Police, summoned when the dog tried to board an ele vated train, said they had to chase Rex halfway across town before they caught him. Masa mitsu said the dog understands only Japanese.
