Ellen J. He gives too much
time to his ex-wife.
Jonathan J. It s for the chil
dren's sake.
Ellen J. I was married, less
than a year ago, to a divorced
man. I am very much in love
with him. and perhaps a bit
jealous, but I can't help feeling
that he devotes too much time
to his ex-wife.
Johnny calls his ex-wife every
evening and spends 3 bout an
hour on the telephone with her.
He stops over at her home for a
few minutes a couple of times
a week to "see the kids." We
have one or more of the children
with us one day of nearly every
week end. .
It's gotten so that sometimes
I feel like an intruder in John
ny's life. I hoped to have chil
dren ef my own, but I'm begin
ning to think that I and my
children would always have to
play second fiddle.
Jonathan J. Ellen is such a"
silly girl. Why would I have di
vorced my wife and married her
if she was "second fiddle"? I
love Ellen and want to be with
her, but she can't seem to under
stand that you can't shake off a
relationship of nearly 15 years
as if it was nothing.
One reason for our divorce
was that my ex-wife is a very
nervous, confused person. She
can't seem to make decisions and
comes to me with every prob
lem. For the children's sake I
have to help her out of the many
muddled situations she gets in
volved in.
As for the children, they are
everything to me and I can't con
ceive of leaving them entirely
to the mercy of my ex-wife.
She's too flighty.
The Council It may come as
a shock to Jonathan, but what
he is attempting to do can't be
done in our monogamous soci
ety. Only in societies where a
man is permitted to keep more
than one wife under one roof,
and where each of the wives un
derstands that her claim to a
husband's attention is quite lim
ited, can a man act as the head
of two families. '
Ellen rightfully resents her
present position virtually that
of concubine. She wants Jona
than to make a real break, not
merely a paper one, with his ex
wife. Since he has chosen di
vorce, he must do this, even at
the expense of his children's hap
piness. . 0
However, it is by no means
certain that the children would
be worse off if their mother is
forced to assume more responsi
bility. The present situation is a
most disconcerting one. They've
got to begin to accept their
mother as head of the household
and their father as only a part
time Dad. This is what divorce
means when children are in
volved. It is ashsumed that the ex-wife
On The Side By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)
Why are female writers con
stantly charging men with not
being what they, said females,
call "romantic"? Men have writ
ten over 90 per cent of the worth
while poetry dealing with the
subject of love. Most of the suc
cessful love songs have been
written by men. Also why do men
marry? A woman who is not
married is spoken of in a. dis
paraging manner. Her life is
generally regarded as not being
successful. Women hope to be
able to combine love and mar
riage but their main objective
is to be married and not be a
spinster. On the other hand a
man who is a bachelor is not
thought any the less of oecause
he has not married. In fact, some
people consider him a smart
fellow and envy him his liberty.
Then why do mfti marry? Why,
because they are romantic. They
marry for love
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Who
introduced the song titled "Mary
Is A Grand Old Name"? A. Fay
Templeton in George M. Cohan's
great musical titled "Forty-Five
Minutes From Broadway." In
cidentally, Fay was 40 years old
when she played Mary in that
is of reasonably sound mind. If
she is not, Jonathan should see
what he can do about getting
custody of the children. If this
woman is fit to have custody of
the children, however, she must
learn to make most of her de
cisions without help from the
man she obviously still turns to
as her life partner.

Statue
In MacArthur Park, Los An
geles, Calif., there is a statue
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. A ;
Californian asks if anywhere in j
the world is there another sta-i
tue erected in honor of b. living
man. The query has me baffled.
How about you?
Names
At one time feminine illegiti
mate children deserted and res
cued by foundling homes were
given names similar to the
month in which they were born.
That is, a foundling born the
first month of the year was given
the name January. One born in
April was called April. One born
in June was named June and
so on. The practice was aban
doned some years ago.
Simple Question
The following baseball 'ques
tion recently appeared here:
"How can a batter drive in three
runs without hitting a fair ball?"
A surprising number of baseball
fans seem baffled by this, very
simple question. The answer is
as follows: "With two out, the
batter bunts the ball along the
third base line. Just as the ball
rolls, foul, the third baseman
throws his glove Jt the ball and
hits it into foul territory for an
automatic triple, which clears
the bases."
Smoking
If worried about the effects
of smoking why not try a hooka?
That type of smoking has been
declared absolutely harmless by
medical experts. The effects of
smoking cause me no concern.
I am in complete accord with
what Byron observed, as follows:
Sublime tobacco!
Divine in hookas, glorious in
pipe,
When tipped with amber, mel
low, rich and ripe.
Yet thy true lovers, more ad
mire by far
Thy naked beauties Give me
a cigar!
Get It Right
From Hugh Blue, President of
My Name Is A Poem Club and
a native of Dubline Ireland the
following commuijicatiot. has
been received: "Sir: In the in
terest of accuracy I find it nec
essary to inform you that the
widest and most beautiful street
in Europe is O'Connell Street,
Dublin."
Those Wagons
What we call a station wag
on" is referred to in England
as an "Estate Car." In Cali
fornia same type of vehicle is
called a "ranch wagon." Many
Californians have fancy ranch
names painted on the side of
their wagons such as "Rancho
Paradiso," "Flying A Ranch,"
"Rancho Grande Malibu," etc.
This recalls that in Los Angeles
I once saw such a wagon in
scribed "Wegotno Raaph."
Cold Women
"The cold in clime are cold
in blood." That's what Lord
Byron wrote. It is evident he
never visited Sweden. Those
Swedish blondes are said to be
the most intensely affectionate
females in Europe. The Italian
and Spanish women are not in it
with the Swedes when it comes
to loving. Those . who should
know say tne Italian and Span
ish women can control their
love. The Swedish girls never
even try to do that They just
don't struggle.
West Powers Agree -On
Joint Open Skies
London (IP) The western
powers Wednesday agreed on a
joint open skies aerial inspection
plan to be presented to the So
viet Union as part of a first step
toward disarmament.
The agreement was reached at
a 90-minute session this morning
among Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, France's Jules
Moch, Britain's Foreign Secre
tary Selwyn Lloyd and Canada's
David Johnston.
Dulles immediately invited So
viet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin to join the other
western delegation chiefs at an
informal working lunch at Win
field House, official residence of
the U.S. ambassador.
Man's Body Found Under
Portland's Steel Bridge
Portland (IP) A man was
found dead from knife wounds
Wednesday under the west end
of the" Steel bridge here.
The victim was identified ten
tatively as Charles Henry Sims,
43.
Detectives said he apparent
ly had been beaten with rocks.
A blood-stained knife blade with
the handle removed was found
near the body;
