LAST TIMES TODAY Thrills in the Anything Clouds Nights of love and romance SQUADRON starring RICHARD DIX with KAREN MORLEY LLOYD NOLAN STRAND 1, 1936 AROLINE HATFIELD SAYS: Pound for Husbands Who Waste Substance and Leave Wives to Suffer DEAR MISS CHATFIELD: For the first three years of our married life I worked and divided the expenses with my husband. We had no children and he made pretty good living so I gave up my a job. He wastes his money gambling and on drinking and I actually haven't decent clothes to wear. when quarrel with him and tell him that I am almost destitute for clothes he says mine are as nice as his. I am so desperate that I am likely to make a rash Caroline decision unless 1 Chatfield can get some advice.

ANSWER: Why don't you give your husban a good dinner, settle him in an easy chair and then make him A -away business proposition? Tell him that if he will give you a reasonable allowance to run the house- and dress yourself, give it to you the very day he gets his pay check, you won't question his right keep the lion's share nor question his right to spend his share how and when he likes. If he pooh-poohs the idea and won't take you seriously, then go out and look for a job and don't stop until you find one. Wouldn't it be fun if the dogcatcher could come along the first of the year and gather up all the worthless husbands who waste their substance in riotous living, leaving their wives to get along the best can; then put them in the pound and leave them until the wives called for them? There wouldn't be a man there the second after he was put up. No matweek, how worthless may be there is usually a woman who loves 1 him and can't bear to see him get his just deserts. CAROLINE CHATFIELD DEAR MISS CHATFIELD: My mother moved in with my husband and me soon after my father died.

She has a terrible habit of roaming over the house at night when she can't sleep and she generally manages 'o wake up my husband. You know how it 1s: you will take anything off your own mother but your husband doesn't feel that way. He wants me to tell her that she annoys him and I won't do it. Who is right? DAUGHTER ANSWER: Can't you speak to your mother in such a tactful way that she won't be offended? If you don't, the outcome of her night wanderings may be disastrous to your household. A hard working, man disturbed can ill by his afford own to babies much less by a perennial house guest.

If he gets crossways with your mother he will find fault with everything she does, day' and night. Then where will you be? My advice to you is: your husband in this request trust your mother's good sense to understand your position.

THE REV. B. SKEAN CRYSTAL READING Private Readings from 2 P. M. MEDICAL SCIENCE MOST IMPORTANT By Charles S.

Bentz, Ph.G. Of all the sciences none approaches in importance to mankind, medical science. The world got along for thousands years with knowloff electricity, or no, steam power, but from the earliest ages men of great intellectual attainments practiced the art of medicine, and in the days of Roman Emperors, Aesculapius, called the God of medicine, was created in the minds of the people and his name has since stood as the symbol of medicine. Medical science has developed to a point where present day cures would have been considered miracles a few centuries ago. The maintenance of health has always been and always will be considered above all else.

At the first sign of failing health, consult a physician. His knowledge of the science will be used in your behalf, The science of pharmacy will aid you by properly compounding the doctor's prescription.
