EIGHT POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1950 Dorothy Dis Letter Box DEAR MISS DIX: I Am young man of 20 and go with a good many girls. 1 think I am speaking for ail the other boys as well as myself when I sky that we like to feel little superior to girls in both physical and mental ability, If, therefore, a girl is as quick to apprehend situation as we are, we are robbed of the joy. of explaining to her what it is all about. Perhaps this is the wrong attitude, but I prefer my girls to be less capable and less wise than I. A.

B. C. ANSWER: I am certain that you voice the sentiments of practically every son of Adam and that nearly every one of them does prefer the inferior to the superior woman. The average man wants wife who is intelligent enough to understand what he says to her, but he doesn't want a wife who is cleverer than he and better educated. Makes For Happy Marriage Not only do men want their wives to be inferior to them but in the scientific studies of marriage it has been conclusively proved that those families are happiest in which the husband is superior to the wife, and that the marriages in which the gray mare is the better horse are seldom This is easily explained by the fact that man's vanity requires him to have some woman to minister to it.

And, of course, he has to get a nitwit to All this role, unless woman clever enough to disguise how clever she is and thinks it worth the trouble to let him think that he originated the idea she put in his mind. Personally, I think that men make a -tetrible mistake when they per- mit egotism to keep them from marrying women in their own class. For it deprives them of the companionship that be such. joy to them if they had wives who were as intelligent As they are and who were interested in the same things and with whom they could discuss books and plays and the topics of interest of the day. A very large percentage of the middle-aged men who wander away from their own resides do so because they are bored at him.

They married pretty little hen-minded girls who were not and never could be any real company to them. And that 1s high price to have to pay for the pleasure of looking down on their wives. DEAR MISS DIX: I am 28. For Ave years I have been going with young man. For two years I have worn A diamond ring on my left hand, which was given to me him to be worn on that, hand.

I have seen him every evening and every day during that period. says, and his actions prove it, that he doesn't want me to have -any other dates, but never has he referred to or even hinted at marriage for us, though he thinks it all right for other people to get married. Do you think. it possible that -he doesn't love me and doesn't intend to marry me? Are there such all men generally opposed to marriage and have to sold on 'PUZZLED GIRL, ANSWER: It is just AS sure as shooting that this young- man has no idea whatever of marrying you. No doubt he likes you and Ands you an agreeable companion, but he hasn't the faintest notion of burdening himself with you as A wife obligating himself to pay your bills.

When a man is really in love with a girl and intends to marry her, he doesn't have to have anybody sell him the idea of martiage. He thinks it up for himself and he has a million good reasons why it is the ideal state for a man and why life 1s cinders, ashes and dust without it. And he doesn't keep putting off the wedding day. He hurries it up. There many men whose attentions are without intentions, such as your friend's, though his technique is superior to any I have ever heard of, in giving you 8 phony engagement ring when there 1s no engagement, in order to keep you pacified.

That Is a new ringer in the game, but the game is the same old game and it ends in the same way-in the girl who is sucker enough to play it losing out. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

Name Street Address City State NOISE There are children, usually city children, to whom noise is an infliction. They fear anything that makes loud noise. Explosions of sound are painful. The backfire motor, the roar of an elevated train, a shot from A toy, gun, firecracker, sends them shivering -into the house to hide. If their parents interpret this as A sort of cowardice and attempt to teach the children to be "brave." the suffering is increased.

If you were ever badly frightened, scared into stiffening fright and had somebody try to laugh you out of it by saying, "It's nothing to be scared of. Don't be silly!" you have some notion of A child's feeling when his father or mother says, "Don't be a scarecat. It won't hurt you. Shoot off this cap pistol. Be a brave boy." The child is in mortal terror of the pistol, the cap and the noise they make, and no words are going to remove that fear.

It is Inherent in the child. I don't know why it is there but the best thing we can do to help the child overcome it is to accept his fear, respect his attitude and show him by our acceptance of the noises that they are not going to hurt him. But do skip the guns. They are an unnecessary blight on such children's lives. If ever -the time comes that they must use guns they will be taught by experts.

By that time most of their fears will have vanished. But they vanish if they are constantly accented by admonitions, commands, entreaties to be brave. Ask the children's specialists, those who work in the hospitals for children, to study the fear -stricken child. Build up his health.
