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.

How To Get Yourself Disliked
Editor's note: Dwinf the 3D years
Jimmv Hatlo has - been drawing
"They'll Do It Every Time," he has
been deluged by readers with
examples of man's inhumanity to
man, which makes him. whether he
likes it or not, an authority on the
subject. 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.

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 . .".
About 99 times out of a" hun
