By ROBERT MUSEL
Uniled Press Correspondent
London U.R) A man can
make himself pretty unpopular
by going around American bases
and asking why so many Ameri

ing British girls. It's a subject

But the fact cannot be ignored

clubs of this sort. JTell those
people who write to you about
being lonely to join a club and
they won't be lordly any more."
This is just what I have been
saying for years. Only com
panionship of the right kind
can cure loneliness. It is like
any physical pain. You must
get at the cau of the trouble
and cure it, or it will remain
and grow.
The lonely person craves not
just any companionship but c6m
pahiuonship with a congenial
person. That is why widows
an widowers often remain lone
ly, even after they go toUive
with a married son and daugh
ter. The age difference plus
the fear that they may be im
posing keeps them frok finding
real companionship even whai
they are surrounded by a fam
ily. While not every community
is fortunate enougn to have a
"Golden Age club" with such a
large membership, there are
few communities that do not
have some club where older
people meet. This is the real
answer to the lonely person's
probletn.
While the clubs may not meet
often, the important thing is
that they give people of similar
age and interests a chance to
meet and get to know each
other. From the group, it
should be possible for anyone
to select several who would
make congenial friends. Often
it is through such clubs that
lonely widows and widowers
find new mates, and this solves
permanently the problem of
their loneliness.

Is there something wrong with
American gifts.?
One London newspaper said
its own survey of this situation
pigxluced complaints that Ameri
can girls are "domineering" and
that the average GI is so buoyed
up to find himself wearing the
pants that he rushes the foreign
girl off to the preacher.
Foreign Girls Warm
A magazine which' went into
the same subject even more
thoroughly claimed that Ameri
can boys find a warmth and un
derstanding here that- they do
not readily receive from girl
friends or wives back home.
Both these views are all right
as far as they go, but they over
look one important point0 the
most desirable husband in the
world to foreign girls, is the
American male. He didn't get
that way on his own, mind you.
The "domineering" American
woman has been shaping him to
the semblance1 of her ideal for
decades and solwell has she done
her job that He has become ir
resistible overseas.
It isn't tK&t he makes more
money than the local boys, al
though that helps. But he as
been taught to' be deferential tew
his women-folk, to send a girl
flowers, to wop her "vith sweet
talk and dancing and romance, to
make her feel s;ha is the only girl
in the world when she walks into
a room with him.
GI Competition Pcpr
Compare him with the British
competition. The Briton is apt
to be wearing tweed jacket andpampering of women."
Daggy, unmatcning trousers and
puffing a pipe. His idea of a
good time is to play darts with
the boys while his girl sips a
pint of beer at a table in a dingy
pub.
The girl is more apt to get a
stout pat on the back than a bou
quet. He shies away from any
display of emotion in public.
Those couples kissing or arm-inarm
in Piccadilly are almost
certain to be Anglo-American.
Every American boy who mar
ries overseas theoretically makes
a spinster of some girl in the
United States and there have
been tens of thousands of mar
riages during and since the war.
But no one to whom I spoke
alter so long as American men
had any hope the situation would
live among European women. It
looks like the girls back home
have simply done too good a job
of raising the fellows.

Magazine Writer
Tells Why Husbands
Get Ulcers Early
New York (Special) The
early death of so many Ameri
can men from ulcers and high
blood pressure is caused by
wives who set out to remake
them the moment after the mar
riage ceremony, says John
Fischer, editor-in-chief of Harp
er's Magazine.
The true American bride re
gards her husband as "175
pounds of raw material," Fisch
er says, adding: "She knows
it is her duty to make something
out of the sorry clod, if she has
to wear her tongue down to the
roots."
Never Before
Fischer, writing in the August
issue, continues: "This undaunt
ed approach may, perhaps, have
something to do with the divorce
rate, axe murders, and the num
ber of morose characters nurs
ing a shot glass late at night in
men's bars. Nevertheless, it
has made American civilization
the envy of the world; or any
how, the feminine half of it.
rftever before in history has any
nation devoted so large a share
of its brains and resources to the
sole purpose of keeping its wo
men greased, deodorized, cor
seted, enshrined in chrome con
vertibles, curled, slenderized, re
juvenated, and relieved of all
physical labor."
In other countries, Fischer
says, women are still deluded in
to thinking that "they ought to
make life a little pleasanter and
easier for their breadwinners;
only here is the Ideal Male one
who dedicates his life to the
Nation of Mittyi
The American woman's cam
paign to reform her husband is
producing a Nation of Walter
ittys, he says.
"Again, never in history has
any country contained such a
high proportion of cowed males,
drilled with Prussian thorough
ness to shun all household sins,"
Fischer writes. "Never, but
never, do they drop cigar ashes
in the icebox, prop their feet
on a coffee table, leave an un
washed dish in the sink, kick a
baby, or stuff a sofa cushion
into the mouth of a babbling
guest: They. endure their mar
ried lives in mute docility, and
die mercifully early from ulcers
and high blood pressure."
