I would like to get away from the family and duties for an afternoon once In a while, but If I want to BO any place my husband always fixes it so he goes too. Now I don't go any place or do anything that I'm ashamed of. He has no reason whatever not to trust me, as I have been a true and honest wife.

"The thing that Is worrying me a lot la, if any of my girl friends call for an afternoon he sulks and won't talk and treats them shamefully; he nets as though he hates to have anyone around but me, and Is lovely to me, but let anyone come, and he jicts so indifferent.

I suppose If your husband's behavior was analyzed it would be found that he is uncertain of you, has feelings of inferiority which make him think he is not good enough to hold you. And so he hates to see others come who may be more attractive to you than he is.

That may be at the bottom of his odd behavior. Or possibly he never has had to share his possessions with anj'one, and so resents Intruders Into his home on that account Whatever it Is that makes him act so, It is certainly very hard on you. You should, of course, get out occasionally, away from your duties and your children, and have a change. And no matter how dearly a husband Is loved, a wife doesn't want him always with her. I hate to drastic, but it would only be within your rights to tell him that you must in- Bist on going out occasionally without him, and that you be allowed to do so.

Also that he treat your guests cordially. After all, a wife is not a prisoner to be constantly guarded. Could you talk the matter over with his mother, find out about his childhood habits, and try your best to discover why he acts so. That might help you to help him overcome it.

A PHOMINENT oculist said to me recently that he Is always shocked when he finds a patient with argy- rosis, and that in his practice such cases are extremely common. Argyrosis, or argyrla, Is the deposit of silver In the skin and in the onjunctiva of the eye.

In extreme cases the skin of the entire body takes on a blue, metallic luster, which is almost frightening in ap- Cream Keeps Mosquitoes Away GaiJ Patrick A girl who likes the great out-of- By GLADYS GLAD "America's Most Famous Beauty" BACK IN that cruel era of Roman listory, when throwing Christians to he lions was considered as much of exciting and enjoyable sport as modern football game, the Romans always sprinkled the condemned Christians with different scents, In order to make them more palatable to the lions. Sounds rather farfetched, doesn't it? Yet modern scientists have somewhat the same idea about mosquitoes. Only their Idea Is certain scents will make the average human seem LESS palatable the lowly mosquito. Beauticians, I've noticed, usually gnore tho mosquito hazard. And hat doesn't seem quite right for as a means of destroying the beauty of an otherwise flawless skin, this buzzing, biting Insect cannot be beaten.

In the case of mosquitoes, the female, as usual, is regarded as more Jeadly than the male. For It Is the female of the specie that does the biting. And each time that she bites, she extracts a bit of blood, and at he same time injects a small quantity of a highly-irritating fluid. The bitten spot becomes swollen, Inflamed and itchy. And the bitten individual usually scratches the spot until, sometimes, blood Is drawn.

Then there is danger of Infection, and often permanent scars remain. Keep 'Em Away The thing to do, of course, Is to keep those pesky insects from feasting on our tender anatomies. There's a new cream on the market designed for just this purpose. It Is greaseless, stainless and definitely discouraging to all biting insects. Scientists claim that certain scents also discourage Insects.

The odors of peppermint, eucalyptus, paraffin and cltronella, for Instance, seem to spoil Miss Mosquito's appetite entirely, And so the thing to do Is to anoinl tho exposed portions of the body with one of these essences before venturing out of doors. Scientists also claim that the average mosquito is repelled by certain colors. Bright yellow and white are shades that this Insect views with a disapproving eye. Other hues do noi cramp her biting activities much but these shades do. And so they too, bring about some Immunity.

Mosquito bites generally itch i great deal. And the natural Instinc Is to scratch them. But this is an extremely dangerous practice. I the bites are scratched vigorously the skin may be broken, germs may enter and serious infections may result. There are many remedies on the market that may be used to soothe the bites if they are irrlta.

ting. Even plain witch hazel, alcohol, ammonia or wet soap will help to soothe the bitten areas. Whatever you do, however, don't scratch mosquito bites, else you'll run the of disfiguring your poarance. Occasionally this Is an industrial disease to which silversmiths are subject. But nowadays, by far the greatest majority of the cases are due to prolonged medication, and usually self-medication by the patient, with argyrol or other silver preparations.

Argyrol is an extremely useful drug, under certain circumstances, in cases of throat Infection or eyo Infection and, properly used, It Is harmless and of great benefit. The trouble Is that patients begin Its use under medical direction and then, without instruction or against advice, continue to use it because they think it gives them benefit It Is this practice which causes most of the cases of argyrla that we see today. Discolori the Skin The deposit Is sometimes on the conjunctiva or white of the eye alone, but there Is usually some discoloration of the skin. In one case of which this oculist told me, ho found a discoloration which he believed was due to silver, and asked tho patient about the use of It The patient denied using It. Still the oculist was unsatisfied, and on his next visit he looked Into the patient's throat and saw two black trcaks of argyrol running down the jack of the pharynx.

The man then aid, "Oh, yes, I use It In my throat, thought you meant did I use it in my eye." The absorption, of course, Is much more rapid in tho nose, and it must remembered that when drugs are lut Into the eye they usually get Into he nose from the tear duct from he eyo to the nose. The discoloration, once It occurs, usually permanent, although it las been reported that potassium errocyanide combined with sodium hlosulphate, when Injected hypo- lermlcally, will remove some of it, ut these Injections are so painful hat an anesthetic is required, and at jest they only remove part of the liver. In old days sliver nitrate used to used for the treatment of various Iseases. There Is a novel, called Poor Miss Poor Miss Finch a blind girl, and the plot concerns man who falls in love with her. Unfortunately for him, he has epl- epsy and he finds that he can be 3ured by the use of silver nitrate, although it will make his appearance hideous.

But since his beloved Is illnd this will not make any differ- ince, so he decides to take the reatment In the story the epilepsy cured, but the complication occurs vhen it is found that Miss Finch can have her eyesight restored, and dilemma of the lover who realizes hat his wife may see him in all his hideousness, may be Imagined. I have even known one case in vhich a man wished to be a sideshow attraction and deliberately took silver In order to induce the discolora- of the skin which would make him qualify as a frealc.

The woman in charge looked over the group and said: "Sorry, girls, we are not taking any more applications today."

Frank reader of Indiana, writes to tell us of a woman he knew who had agoraphobia so bad that her life was one of almost absolute seclusion. Our correspondent was only a child when this woman was employed by his family as a maid. The woman, as a child, had been in an orphanage asylum, and had nover been out on the streets alone. What's more, she was afraid to be on the streets. That was when she was 16 years of age.

The woman remained In the service of the family for 60 years, until she died, and not once did she ever pass beyond the front gate. Very devout, she refused even to go to church on Sunday, despite assurances of protection. She would content herself by reading the Bible on Sunday mornings.

However, all brides ore not married in formal satin and lace. Especially since the depression has it boon smart to be wed very informally in the garden, at home, at church or by a justice of the peace with a few friends and the family as guests.

For this type of wedding, which entails a comparatively small amount of expense, street-length frock or suit is more often chosen, and they may be made of one of the many laces or kindred materials. Soft shades of blue, orchid, rose or green, in the color most becoming to the bride, are chosen, and the accessories are left to her own choice, according to her needs after marriage and of course, to harmonize with her wedding dress. Frock of Fine Cotton Net At the left we show a correct dress for the bride who is to be married by the registrar or by the minister in his study. She is dressed ready to start on her wedding trip immediately after the ceremony. She has chosen an afternoon street ensemble of fine cotton net, in chartreuse.

With it she wears a large natural straw hat trimmed with brown grosgrain, brown antelope gloves and brown sandals. Her corsage is of yellow roses, and puts the finishing touch to her bridal costume. The other costume is made of novelty net in blue with a white crossbar, making a delightful ensemble that this bride has chosen to be wed in by the minister in his study. The dress shows a definite basque influence, and the short, loose jacket, with its puffed sleeves, is as smart as a bride could wish. The simple little corsage, worn at the neck in front, is just right for the occasion.

Her hat is blue straw faced with white; her gloves are white, and her shoes navy blue. As for the groom, he may wear a business suit at this type of wedding, as may his best man. Or he may wear a double-breasted blue coat and white flannel trousers. A carnation in his buttonhole completes his suit. Shoes may be white or black, as he chooses.

Restraints Needed to Ban Crime Lack of Discipline in Home Accounts for Crimimals By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D. Head Department Parent Education Cleveland Colletje, Western Reserve University IN THIS COLUMN 1 have said Trom time to time, over a number of years, that tho leading single cause of crime in our country la tho lack of good discipline In the home, more specifically, the doctrine pretty widely accepted, that the parent should not lay tho hand upon a young child to restrain him. You can Imagine my Interest upon reading the speech of that great leader for law and order, who, with his G-Mnn, has din down our most dangerous criminals Edgar Hoover, director, federal bureau of Investigation, United States department of justice.

It was delivered May 20. 193(1, before the thirtieth annual convention of tho Boys' Clubs of America. Let me quote a bit from that address: "The sentimental theorists who dominate present-day child-guidance, however, believe that if a child Is chastised, It may develop an Inhibition or affect its later self-exprosslon. So long as we fall to recognize that discipline Is an essential part of human development. Just so long will we have an almlesa, dlrectless milling of the herd which can result only in mental panic and thorough disregard for the rights of society to peace and order.

Resurrect Discipline "It Is time for America to resurrect that standard of discipline which rtld much to give this country Its rugyed, stalwart honesty of purpose, its determination, Its achievements. I refer to that parental discipline and guidance which did so much to create law-abiding, successful and for-, ward looking citizens. Today, however, that old-fashioned standard has been transformed Into the wins card of the cocktail bar; Into the aaplent belief that an Immature mind can bo granted utter freedom of action without disastrous results. "We need to know that the problem of crime Is the problem of tho family." Then ho gives some facts about crime that are not very delightful to road. "Today, as you know, iO per cent of our crime Is the work of persons who have not yet reached the voting age one-fifth of our most deadly outlaws, our murderers, our machine- gun desperadoes, are little beyond childhood.

"Practically every special agent of the federal bureau of Investigation who has died on the field of battle against criminals, has been sent to his death by a gun In tho hands of a paroled convict. I object to the fact that of the 18,010 most desperate, vicious enemies of society Hated in the Identification files of the federal bureau of Investigation, 8,734 of them have been touched by the magic wand of parole or pardon clemency," According to Mrs. Fanny S.
