I have the kind of husband who sees every speck of dust, who wants everything in order, who, finds the children's racket very distressing, who will eat whatever dinner I prepare, but asks wistfully when we are going to have steak again--as if we didn't have it as often, and more often, than I "can afford it. "We have two small daughters, and a son aged eight, who has always been delicate. Sometimes Frank scolds because the girls tease Francis, sometimes he criticizes me because they ignore him. Often the way I dress annoys him; other wives, he says, are always smart. I get so that I dread his coming into the house at night.

"When the hot summer days came on this year I quoted to him what you said of feeding children out-of-doors, to save table-setting and after-meal sweeping. It fretted Frank to have me handle even the children in this informal way, and when I finally included him and myself in a back-garden dinner, he carried his plate indoors, set himself a place in the dining room and ate his meal there. "Over and over again he says impatiently to me, 'You're only doing what other women do. I'd give you a good cook if I could, but we cannot pay more than a thousand a year for domestic help.

Referse RISING ABOVE DIFFICULTIES There isn't much the wife of « critical,, nagging matt can do except to endure with resignation, Miss Norris replies to a Milwaukee woman's anxious letter. Janet Painter says she does the best she can, and makes every e f fort to be a good mother and housewife. She has three children to tare, for, mud a large bouse to keep clean. Despite all her e f forts, she says, she cannot keep the place spotless enough to suit ber exacting husband, Frank. He doesn't like her cooking. If it's plain and simple, be objects, and if she spends more on expensive food like steak, be complains about the bills. Her management of the housebold, ber training of the children, ber appearance--everything about ber, m short, comes in for criticism. It is exasperating, Janet writes. She is a college graduate, but ber knowledge seems to be of little help in this unhappy situation. They are m better than ordinary circumstances. Frank is successful and moving ahead. He is bandtome, affable and ambitious. Tbey are saving for the purchase of a new bvme. If it weren't for bis incessant nagging, be would be an ideal husband. Miss Norris advises Janet to try to rise *bove ber d i f f i c u l t i e s . Ify patience, humility and quiet acceptance of ber lot, she will find a new strength, even a certain iofin facing her annoyances. As early is 1»4 the Dutch botanist Camerarius had discovered pollen and the fMiation ptocoas in corn. Charles Darwin'observed that increased vigor dbuld be secured In corn bf crossing unrelated strains. Yet these observations were scarcely utilized until recently. In the early 1900s intensive Inbreeding was started to secure pure lines of corn. Pollen of a plant was placed on the silks of an ear of the same plant so that the progeny had only one immediate permit The best of the resulting plants then were self-pollinated again and again. In 1807 the Ant hybrid com as we know it was grown from a mating of two dissimilar inbreds. The yield of com per acre surpssssd that of the best of the known corn varieties of that period; yet a period of 10 year* followed hit which, although work was being done by a small group of scientists, little hope was held for an economically useful hybrid corn. In the last 10 years hybrid corn has become so well accepted that in 1047 more than 08 per cent of the < corn acreage in -Illinois, Indiana i and Iowa and 07 per cent of that of • all the United States were planted j with hybrid seed. During World War I, the United States raised a i three billion bushel corn crop on 110 million acres of land. In 1942 the j same harvest was produced on 89 j million acres.

Doemnoiit Only eight states in the Union have laws that require instruction in the Declaration of Independence, according to the Christophers, who have made a survey and who propose that individual citizens urge their states to adopt laws ^requiring such instruction. The Rev. Father James Keller of Maryknoll, founder of the Christophers, a nationwide movement to encourage individual effort in restoring Christian valueg to every phase of American life, said he had been informed by the United States office of education in Washington that the eight states having laws that require teaching of the Declaration of Independence are Ca^fornia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Vi/ginia and Wisconsin. These, according tot the offlct of education, "represent substantially all the Iptes having statutory provi- < sions on the subject," even though i it may be given optional or incidental attention in civics, history or ; other social studies courses. 1 "It was my impression," Father !' Keller said, "that the Declaration j of Independence was required | teaching in practically all schools | in every state of the Union. Inquiry among educators, newspaper men and students revealed that many of ; them did not know which statea j have laws specifically calling for in- j struction in the fundamental con- { cept upon which our country was i founded." !

Well, my only suggestion to you, Janet, involves the^tise of an oldfashioned Christian jfirtue called "long - suffering.". Long - suffering means enduring, but enduring for a purpose. Enduring as if it were a game. Plodding alopg on your unappreciated way, doling all you can. perhaps finding help es national con ditions come nearer to the normal, perhaps tiring out Frank's injustice by sheer patience. It may not soften Frank if he finds you week after week, month after month, serenely continuing with your tasks, moving cheerfully from stove to table, sink to pantry; if you accept his unfair criticisms equably, wlith only a mild "I'll do that tomorrow, Frank," or "I forgot that, I'm sorry." But it will have a tremendous effect on you. By rising above it, reminding your own soul continually that you can do no more and no better than you are doing, you will reach an interior peace that passes description or understanding.
