As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Procrastination Makes - A Task- More Difficult How many times , have you said to yourself, 'I'll do it to morrow." only to find that when tomorrow comes, you have other things to do and have no time for the left overs of the day be fore? And, how often have you let things slide to- ' Dr. Hurloek would be easier to do them to day because you thought it morrow? Wren people put off to tomor row what they should do today, it may be they are tired and feel that by tomorrow they will be more rested. They fail to realize, however, that tomorrow "will bring its demands on their time and energy, just as today has. When things are put off from one day to another, they . not only pile up, one on the other, until the pile becomes so high it looks like a gigantic task, but a certain dread developes in the person's mind. There is great personal satis faction in ending the. day with a clean slate. If you have ac complished all you had planned to do on that day, you can go to bed with the feeling the day has been well spent. Having left overs to be tackled tomorrow, ends the day . with the feeling it hasn't been such a good one, which will mean a rushed and tiring day tomorrow. Reasonable Tasks To be able to accomplish what one sets out to do in one day means not biting off more than you can comfortably chew. Don't ' take on more than you can see yourself able to do, ex cept when some emergency arises to crowd your schedule. Then, if you have outlined a reason able number of things to do, it will seem easier than if you have a pile of leftover tasks staring you in the face. By finishing today's jobs to day, you will find it easier to face tomorrow with its tasks. While you may be able to do to morrow what . you should have done today, you will find it harder tomorrow than it other wise would have been. LETEERS FROM READERS Happy-go-lucky husband: "My husband is one of those lovable happy-go-lucky ' fellows who haven't a care in the world and who never assume any respon sibility. How can I help him grow up and play his role as husband and father?" . J..W. ' (A) It is a trifle late in the game to try to make your hus band grow up and act his 'age. He is already a grown man, with wife and children to consider. As long as you still find him "lovable," in' spite of his im maturity, you had better plan to continue to play the role of head of the family for the rest of your days.

With a tip of the Hatlo hat to his contributors, the artist and author has drawn on this rich back ground for this series of six articles, spotlighting the pests who annoy the most people from coast to coast.) By JIMMY HATLO One of my favorite stories concerns an English squire who ordered his groom to take an old horse into the bathtub and shoot it. He explained: "You see, my brother-in-law is one of those beastly chaps who always knows about everything. No matter what the topic, he knows all about it. Well, tonight when he comes for dinner he'll go into the .bawthroom to wash his hands. .Then he'll come pelting out, yelling, 'I say, old boy, there's a dead hawss in . the bawthtub.' And' I'll be able to. say, without even -glancing up, 'I know, old boy. I know." - This is an extreme measure to get the best of one of these know-it-all birds, but there .'are times when I've felt it must have been worth it. 'You know the type. After a lot of finagling, you found a way to swing that cabin in the woods where you can rest up on week ends.. Along comes Squelchly, "Summer home?" sez he. "Belfry, are you crazy? Know what you're let- husband to assume some of the minor j responsibilities of home and : family. If he can handle them successfully, then give him larger ones. Don't be surprised, however, if he balks when he is asked to assume any but the most- trivial responsibilities. Happy-go-lucky people are such because they want to shun re sponsibilities. The know-it-all: "My daugh ter, who. is 17 and freshman in college, knows . everything, so she thinks. Will college help her to get over this?". A.M.A. I (A) Yes, experience in- college will help your daughter realize how little she knows. However, she may. feel she . knows . more than you, if you have not had a college ' education, and she may continue to show you this. In time, however,, you can expect her to be more polite about it than she. now is. Changed friends: "I hare two friends whom I haven't seen for years until recently.. They seemed so changed, or ,wa it I who had changed?" J. B. (A) As no one remains static over the years, the chances are that both you and your friends have changed. That is why the change was so apparent to you. COPYRIGHT 1956, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)

He's There " -' Well, I don't need to tell you who's there, nailed to the best chair and siphoning up food and drink like a suction pump every weekend, do I? These self-appointed Socrates can spread more grief than' a 4 to 5 shot that finishes last. Here's Dilworth, about to step away from the' club poker game for a moment to phone-the little woman and say he'll be late for dinner. But up jumps, Howitzer, the- club how-to-handle-your-wife expert. "Sit ; down, Dilworth,"- he bawls. "Don't .be silly . . . Take it from one who knows ... You're in the dog house already.- Why aggravate things? Eat here . . . Then act sore" when you go home, etc., etc." . Of course Howitzer is wearing pancake make-up over a black, eye .he got in his last conversation with his- wife, and he's now living at the club. So he does his best to get. Dilly in the same fix. . .. . He Was There Or there's the flannel-mouth you always find at a fight camp who thinks he's a walking rec ord book. "Don't tell me," he says-to one of the retired pugs. "Don't tell me you never fought Kid Rosinpants. I saw it. I was there . . . it was at Ebbo Field . ." . went the distance . . . you got the decision. Don't tell me!" Everyone within earshot' knows that Canvasback wasn't even fighting at the same time as Rosinpants, but Flannelmouth isn't letting anybody tell him. And the only thing he's " go.tt'en right -in the last 20 years is the address of the unemployment bureau. The last item incidentally is a' major point of this beef . .".
