I'll disgrace my father Into breaking up Ms af . fair. r. J. M. I want to enjoy the years I have left. Milton M. I am a 19-year-oM college student. When I came holne recently on a visit, I found my pother close to collapse. Tine told me that my father had been having an affair with a women 20 years younger than he. She said he wanted a di vorce. I got hold of my father and told him what I thought of him for pulling a thing like that on my mother, who has always sac rificed herslf for him and for all of us. Now that she is getting (Blder he just wants to cast her aside. My father said that is strictly between him and my mother gflnd none of my business, but i feel I have a right to try to protect myo mother; and I plan to do everything possible to shame my father into breaking up the affair. Mr. J. &. My dear son has already done his worst. He has aired the entife affair among his friends and our family. I get threatening letters and tele phone calls every day. Q Naturally my son understands nothing about my relationship with his "sacrificing" mother. The fact is that we have been actually estranged for many years and I have sacrificed my happiness for her and the chil dren. My wife has always been s nagging, unhappy womn. She has poisoned most of my life and I want to enjoy the years I have left. I tried to make my son understand osome of these things so that he will not think of me as the cruel torturer. It is just a little bit unfair. Other men get divorces without their own children turning on them. mm The Council Both Mr. and Mrs. J. M. mafle a grave error in confiding in their son. It is qui) natural for him to try to protect his injured mother, but . he is certainly not mature ei(igh to know how to handle a delicate and complicated situ- ation like this. They both seem to want his sympathy an un fair and foolish demand. It will help neither of them. As things now stand, Milton has succeeded only in upsetting a vary delicate balance. Middle aged men who have affairs with much younger women do not all get divorces, although they may threaten and toy with the idea o Edinburg, Scotland U.R) The oyal Air Force has dis banded the squadron which shot down the first German plane felled over Britain during World War II, it was announced today.

If things had , been kept quiet, he may have dropped the idea after a few preliminary stabs at his wife. If Mr. J. M. really hopes to "enjoy the years I have left," he would do well to explore his situation and his own motiva tion more carefully. The glam orous promise of new life and youth with a woman 20 years younger is not likely to be ful filled He will age, despite his desperate fight against it, and will find himself tied to a wom an whose youth and attractive ness will become a source of fear rather than pleasure to him. Mr. J. M.'s picture of his wife as a "nagging, unhappy woman" is probably highly colored, and his conception of his pathetic state with his "own children turned against him" indicates his pleasure in feeling persecuted. He is in no fit state to make a decision and should seek some objective guidance from a psy chiatrist or marriage counselor on this typical problem of mid dle age.

Here it is largely a verbal war. Up in the rugged mountains and desert of the Aden protec torate, the same battle .is being fought with guns. The pictures of Nasser are hidden there, but his influence is felt. The Sheikhs, emirs and sherifs who rule Britain's Aden protect orate the barren hinterland beyond the seaport Aden colony are pro-British. So are many of the colony's merchants and businessmen. They like the se curity, law and order Britain gave this sun-parched rim of the Arabian peninsula. But Britain's prestige here hit an all-time low after the attack on Egypt last fall. At British built movies only half the audi ence will stand when "God Save The Queen" is played. At Arab movie houses, the anthem no longer is played at all. Remarkably, there was no trouble in the colony, site of a vital British naval base, when the Suez war flared. But busi ness slumped, and, as this was written, there were only three small freighters in the once-jammed harbor. The oil refinery cut back production two-thirds but kept men at work with a "crash" maintenance and repair pro gram. There was serious trouble in the Hinterland, where the worst border fighting between the British and the neighboring Arab state of Yemen since 1934 erupted. The battle continues, with nightly raids by Yemeni tribesmen on encampments of Cameron Highlanders and Aden forts. Lured By Rifles The British say that 1.000 Aden tribesmen who dye their faces blue for battle have gone over to the Yemen in recent months, lured by offers of rifles and payment if they use them well. The Naib of Ibb, a Yemeni leader, claims 200,000 Aden tribesmen one-fifth of the pro tectorate's population have deserted to join the fight to "free occupied Yemen." The Yemeni claim Britain has "oc cupied" their territory. Nasser and the Communist world have backed Yemen's cry. Rifles are strange bait. But they are highly valued in a land where tribal feuds and banditr msjie it advisable to have one handy at all times. They cost tip tf. $475 apiece, leaving tribes men with the choice of working half a lifetime to buy one or Oust slipping across the Yemen to pick one up The tempation is too strong for many a tribes man to resist. Eureka Couple Killed When Sports Car Skids Eureka, Calif. -U.R; A young couple was killed Saturday when their sports car skidded on grav el at high speed and turned over into a field four miles north of here.

And been offered sure-fire cures? Want a couple of recipes, harking back to ancient days after all, people must have had hiccups since the beginning of time. By the time you've gone through this lot, your hiccups should be cured. For fun, check off those you've heard before. An early English remedy for curing hiccups says: "You must in the very instant that the hic cup seizes the Party, pull his Ring Finger and it will go off." (The hiccup, that is.) Another old saying is that hiccups are caused by someone's talking about you, and if you guess who it is, they will stop. There is a story about Aristo phanes who had to make an after-dinner speech at the home of another Athenian playwright some 500 years before Christ. As the moment approached the nervous playwright got the hic cups. He turned to another guest, a well-known medic, and said: "Either you'll have to (hiccup) make my speech or cure (hiccup) my hiccups." The physician told him to hold his breath and drink some water. That failing, he next told him to tickle his nose with a feather adding, "if you sneeze once or twice even the most vio lent hiccup is sure to go." Whether the doctor gave the speech is not known -but both of his cures are still stock rem edies. Another old timer is to terrify the hiccuper. Perhaps this one grew out of the fact that many primitive people even today believe that hiccups are caused by demons entering the person and that the only way to get rid of them is to scare them to death.

Holding of Breath In the Ozarks, the popular cure is to stand on one leg and recite: "Hick-up, stick-up, lick up, hick-up," five times on the same breath. Many people sim plify the prescription by merely recommending the holding of the breath and counting to ten. Or holding the breath and swallow ing seven times. These too work quite often. Or, on this same line, holding the breath while counting seven bald-head men. By the time they are found, presumably, the hic cups ought to be cured. Sucking a lemon is said to be a sure-fire cure; or a pinch of sugar on the tip, of the tongue. Drinking water from the far edge of the glass or saying, the Lord's Prayer backwards are re ported cures cures evidently based the old ruse of getting the hiccuper to concentrate on some thing so completely and whole heartedly that he forgets the hiccups and they automatically disappear. In summing up hiccup cures, Maria, Leach, one of this coun try's leading authorities on old beliefs and myths, adds in The Soup Stone (Funk & Wagnalls): Other Remedies Breathe into a paper bag. Drink water while holding your breath. Drink water through a napkin. Take several whiffs of garlic. Chew gum. Chew lico rice. Toss off a quick shot of whiskey. Sniff smelling salts. Hold your nose and take a sip of water for every year of your age. Fasten a belt as tight ly as possible. Tie a linen band tight across the diaphragm. Swallow seven small pieces of ice. As a windup, there is this choice cure to close with. It may sound a bit drastic, admit tedly, but you'd be surprised how often it works: get a trust worthy friend to punch you in the stomach.
