Every once in a while the spirit moves me to write about male parents, but a little story I heard today inspires me to pick up my pen a bit earlier thin my custom and appear for the de fense. I think these poor gentle men need defending, from a lot of things. A little boy had a dollar. He said speculatively as he eyed his prize, "I think I’ll give this to you and Mom.” “How much would I get?” ask ed his father. “Twenty-five cents!” came the prompt reply. lie’s ust Dad. “Well, I like that! Your moth er would get three times as much as I would. Is that fair?” “Sure!” said sonny, “You’re just my Dad because you live here, but I’m Mom’s by borna tion.” You see, children know in a vague way a good bit about life. They know anyway that babies and mothers are an inseparable unit. Besides they see all material comfort and accommodations com ing from theii; mother, and their world move about her. Father has a difficult role. He Distinctive Ensemble Here it a stylish Spring ensemble, which, fashion unions aver, will be very popular this coming season. The long cape is made in double faced wool whir'- permits the gar ment to be rev.. .:ed, while the hat it of felt, toft end pliuble, which may be manipulated to suit the individual face. begins first of all with that handi cap. Secondly, unless he is a cross between Sir Galahad, Santa Claus and Joel Chandler Harris, he is further handicapped by lack of appeal. To be a mere man, who comes home tired, reads the paper and after awhile says it’s bed ime, isn’t what one might call drawing the masses. He has one advantage of course. He never becomes an old story, and if he lacks the pictur esque touch or the Barnum in fluence. the children with that handy imagination of theirs dress him with manufactured sentiment and let it go at» that. But it is very hard to live up to a role recreated for one. Just lei the head of the family show his feet of clay (and what dad doesn’t) and down comes the idol, kersmash. Some Are Discouraged In so many cases too, the day’s hangovers are left for him to set tle Eobby smashed a lamp, and “just wait till your father comes home — he’ll fix you” Or Daisy’s tooth has ached all day and mother had the washing £fcid was too busy to take her to the dentist. Will Jim please call up and see if Dr. Smith isn’t going back to his office. It would only take a min ute to pull that tooth and she (mother; can't stay up another night. Probably a thousand mothers take their children to dentists and doctors to every single father. But the fact is that seldom are the pleasant things saved up for him to do. Think it over. I am taking it for granted that dad is working all day until he is bone tired and in no stat of mind to be winsome with any one. Keep Filial Love Alive Now today we have the dis couraged, worried father who is unable to provide his family with comforts or even actual necessi ties. Never before in all our history has the family man needed a cham pion as much as he does today. Added to his other troubles is the self abasement that comes with failure — failure that is not his fault but that sears his self esteem nevertheless. And this father must dread to think how he appears in the eyes of his offspring. It is too cruel — too unfair! Everything in the power of a wife and mother should be brought to bear In keeping the love and re spect of the children for their father alive. R. F. C. Funds Used To Buy Fiddle for Farmer Tyler. Tex. —(UP)— Part of the R. P. C.’s relief funds have been used to purchase a fiddle for a music-loving farmer.

Couple Lived in Same House 35 Years Pueblo, Colo. —(UP)— In this day of hustle, buffet apartments and rapid change, consider the S. D. Snyders, who were married 60 years ago and have lived in the same house for 35 years. The Snyders were married 60 years ago in Red Oak, la., They camo to Colorado in 1876. Their introducton to Pueblo was not all that was to be desired by a young couple seeking a home. As they alighted from the stage they saw the hanging body of a horse thief, swung by a rope from the stout branch of a cottonwood tree. Snyder was Pueblo's first tele* graph operator. Snyder is 88, and his wife 84.

Family Co-Operated To Capture Burglar Greeley, Colo. —(UP)— When a burglar started working at his profession in the Guy E. Johnson home he discovered that the Johnson family used a lot of close co-operation. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and their daughter, Myrtle, came home from the theater recently and dis covered that their home had been ransacked. Hiding in the closet they found J. Keith Guild, a pa roled convict, armed to the teeth. Johnson grabbed the burglar and while they were milling about the bedroom two shots were fired by the intruder. While Johnson was wrestling with Guild, Mrs. Johnson and Myrtle were hustling around the outskirts of the melee trying to get in a telling blow. Mrs. Johnson finally was success ful when she cracked the burglar over the head with a butcher knife- and laid him low. Neighbors, hearing the sounds of battle, telephoned police who arrived after the scrap and tool? the burglar to jail. PARROT EATS CASH Revere, Mass. —(UP)— Mrs. Vera Minson recently lost $35 when her pet parrot chewed her handbae to pieces while she was talking to her vegetable man. -♦♦ Saving $2. From Tit-Bits. "How much will you charge to take out this front tooth?’* “Two dollars.’’ "Oh, well, never mind. I’ll pick a quarrel on the way home.” , No Santa Claus for the Grownup A prominent minister the other dny deplored the sort of faith that be lieves in a “wonder-working God”— that expects miracles. I believe he meant that It Is a cheap sort of faith becuuse it makes things ensy for the one who believes. It lifts the respon sibility for life right off one's shoul ders and places It upon one’s faith. This seems to me a strikingly re vealing point, which, aside from the religious reference, Is applicable to much in our dally lives. There Is the tremendous faith of some of us In our friends—which Is blasted at the first suggestion of dis appointment or disillusionment. And the faith In an Idea—In Its perfection—until It strikes the first snag in the process of working out. And the faith of some people In themselves—until they find the first Job that is too big, when they lose all self-confidence. Thnt sort of faith is like n child's faith in Santa Claus. He believes be cause he wants to believe. To get what he wnnts he needs only to pin a letter to his stocking the night be fore Christmas. It's up to Santa to work the miracle. But for us grownups there Is no Santa Claus. And In this day and age there are no miracles—except those we work for ourselves. Our faiths are probably the most Im portant element In our lives. There is something revesting about our selves in where we place them. And once we do place them there Is some thing revealing In how we maintain them. It merits the gift of some thing In ourselves. It is not an ensy faith or a cheap faith. The Idea is not only to have faith, but to KEEP faith. ©. 1933. Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
