The restraints of school, the tedium of studies, the limitations on social life, are irksome to most all adolescents. The more sensible ones make the best of the situation, get what fun they can and prepare for the fuller life that is just ahead. Many, however, like Shirley, who writes the letter quoted today, cannot wait, hither they drudge along, desperately unhappy, or they make a break of some sort and find what real misery means, comments Miss Norris. "" Shirley is only 16, but she has bad enough of school. Her studies, like afgebra and French, seem entirely worthless. Evkn athletics are a bore and waste of time, she thinks. If only her parents W(. uld let her stop school she could get a job and bare the money for clothes and frills that she longs for. But they won't, and to make it worse, they are unable to provide for her in the style she thinks is her due. Her mother, who is remarried, is rather strict, Shirley complains, and disapproves of her boy friends. Shirley likes both her father and her stepfather, but neither can give her much. She is a pretty girl, with some dramatic ability, and as anxious to get into the movies in nearby Hollywood. Miss Norris counsels her to continue her schooling until the end of high school at least. There will be plenty of time for her to try for a "career" in the movies or other fields when she is mature and educated enough to cope with the problems she assuredly will face.

"Just wh*t all this noHsenst ever will mean to my later life I cannot see." ^: By KATHLEEN N&RRIS HERE is a letter from a 16- year-old girl, typical of the problems of so many teen-agers that it seems to me worthy of consideration, despite its obvious immaturity. "Everything about my life is ideal, and it's not good enough," writes Shirley Wilson of Los Angeles. "I'm 16, my half-brother is 9. Mother divorced my father when I was seven; I see him sometimes and like him well enough; but my stepfather is swell, too. I am very ambitious, play the piano, sing and, tiance above the average, and am considered pretty. We have not much money; I get an allowance of S3 a week. Mother buys me very few clothes, and for extra pocket mon,ey I sometimes can touch Doug, my* stepfather. "If they would have sense enough to let me stop school, 1 soon could earn enough money to take care of myself and buy the clothes I need. I know this, as I have been successful in school dramatics, and have been approached by a talent scout two separate times. Grown persons do not realize how deeply a girl suffers when she feels opportunities of all sorts slipping by her, and sees girls her age making a success of life. My mother was not so strict as a girl hefself, but she is very strict with me, antagonizing practically all the boys who ever come around. 'Useless' Studies. "What I am studying in school is completely useless -- algebra, French (which I hate), Latin, history and folk-singing. Also we ha^e, of course, gym courses and games such as tennis and basketball. Just what all this nonsense ever will mean to my later Hfe I cannot see. Frankly, I don't wish to be either a French teacher or basketball pro- Jessional. Every grown person I know has forgotten all that a few months after leaving school. What I want to do is get a job; I will learn more in a few weeks of real work. I am really desperately restless and unhappy, and hope you will consider my problem seriously ~ help me." •• • * • . Shirley, my dear, I may WeTT consider your problem seriously, for it is indeed a grave indication of one of our failures as parents and citizens, and it is widespread. . That home is unsatisfying to youth today, that restlessness and discontent are breaking the hearts of thousands of American girls, is no secret to American mothers. Girls escape from home as soon as they can, escape to face disillusionment and discouragement of which they never dreamed, escape to loneliness, bewilderment and mistakes, escape very often to foolish young marriages, for which they have to pay a heavy penalty. Our shops are full of quiet saleswomen, our factories full of workers who ran away from life at 16 and 17, and are awake now from the dream. Unfortunate marriages, hard times, money shortage, lost jobs, these are their story. "I have a little girl of 10," says one of them, wrapping gloves for the purchaser, perhaps dreaming of how nice it would be to be the purchaser, to go out into the morning sunshine, have lunch downtown and plan a cozy dinner for a loved man and children. "My husband? -- Well, he wasn't any good, or I wasn't. I was only 18 when Carol was born; I went back to my mother. Keith never helped mucfh, and I had to go to work." Tragic Defeats. "Sure I was in the movies; I won : a beauty contest that promised me • three jobs," says another 40-year- | old saleswoman, smiling. "I had bit I parts -- sometimes. I ran around latetry Mi lavuML MM Hf (tap litatry The ruina oi Pompeii yielded •oap. Plingr wrote of aoap tai the Aral century. Tat, aoap, even in the Middle A<m, was for only the vary rich. It was a luxury not available to the great maaa^of the people: Soap making was a houaahold art tm America within the la»tn yaara, and H was not untfl lata In the 19th century that invention and patenta began to make poaaible the modern taduatry of today, with tta annual output to the United Staftaa of about a million and a half tona, according to National Patent Council. Large«cale manufacturing operation s , . with i n d i v i d u a l " k e t t l e s " ofi aoap containing up to one millioo pounds per charge, are the result of years of tedious and costly research and the invention of processes, machinery and tools. By far the largest amount of the | soap made is derived from the boil- i ing process, which produces a! "neat" soap into which alkaline builders, fillers, perfumes or other • desired ingredients are incorpo-1 rated. Most toilet soaps of the -bet- ( ter quality are made by the milling process, which allows the cold mixing of fine perfumes which could not withstand the heat of boiling. It te only in the last 20 years that American inventiveness has developed improved soap flakes by spray drying. When hot "neat" soap is sprayed into a current of heated air, the atomized soap particles dry and puff into the expanded bead or bubble form so well known to American housewives.
