Suggestions and Criticisms Invited
A Marriage Expert Advises
The Women
“DON’T PROPOSE
EVEN IN LEAP YEAR”
By Dr. Paul Popenoe
General Director, the Institute of
Family Relations, Los Angeles,
California.
Written for the AP Feature
Service
If You’d Get Your Man
Follow these Rules—
Do—
1. Be responsive. Few traits
are as much appreciated by
a man as this one.
2. Be feminine.
3. Be efficient.
4. Be fond of children.
5. Be responsible. Be sure you
get places on time.
6. Be sympathetic.
7. Be happy. Cultivate this.
Never sulk or pout.
8. Be neat.
9. Get along with your own
family.
10. Be alert.
Don’t—
1. Make glamour your only cap
ital stock.
2. Try to impress a man with
the brilliance of your intel
lect.
3. Be a clinging vine.
4. Be infantile.
5. Be coarse.
6. Be weepy.
7. iBe always wanting to go
places.
8. Be too much of a cheat. A
man won’t want to have to
figure out your falsehoods.
9. Be ashamed of your family.
10. Pester him.
For millions of years the male
has had the initiative in dealing
with the female. Differences be
tween male and female have
been modified by civilization, but
this one has remained. Stanford
University scientists have found
that the greatest difference be
tween men and women today is
the greater agressiveness of the
| male.
j es. That is not a very high am
j trying to make men of themselv
, woman who is a failure. Refusing
' bition. In cherishing it, they are
over-riding one of the most im
portant difference in the behav
ior of the two sexes.
They have nothing to gain by
such a violation of the rules.
Who is it that wants to violate
the rules? Not the normal, attrac
tive, successful woman, but the
woman who is a failure. Refusnig
to recognize that her failure is,
her own fault she wants to
change the rules. She picks out
Leap Year as an occasion to try
to disguise her own lack of un
derstanding. She would do better
to learn the rules, and then start
early to play the game instead
of waiting, as many educated wo
men do, until most of the men
worth marrying are already mar
ried.
MEN AREN’T FLATTERED
Most men do not like aggres-;
sive women. Most men do not'
want women to try to beat them j
at their own game. Most men do,
not feel flattered at receiving a
proposal from a woman.
In this situation, what has wo
man to gain by proposing?
The intelligent woman can, and
does, let a man know her feel
ings. If he is diffident about pro
posing because he thinks she ex
pects more luxury than he can
offer, she can easily let him know
that she does not require lux
ury. She can let him know a lot
of things.
After that, if he still does not
want her enough to say so, it
may be that he would not be a
very valuable husband for her in
any case.
NO LAW AGAINST IT
There is no law preventing a
woman from proposing. She can
do so any time she likes. Age
old experience has taught her
that it is not worthwhile.
If she is not clever enough to
maneuver a man into a position
where he will propose to her—
thereby feeling that he is keep
ing the highly-prized masculine
initiative in his own hands—she
might not be clever enough to
Of course there are exceptions.
Some men are dependent by na
ture. They want strong, aggres
sive dominating wives. If that is
the kind of a wife a man wants,
he will have no trouble whatever
in getting one. He may be entire
ly happy wih her.
WANT A “BOSSY” MAN?
Study of thousands of marriag
es by the Los Angeles Institute of
Family Relations reveals that
marriages in which the husband
is boss are 3^ percent happier
than those in which the wife is
boss.
Even at that, it is evident that
there are many happy marriages
in which the wife is boss—one
husband out of every eight in
the United States is in this happy
but bossed by his wife group.
The wife in such a case may be
less happy than the husband.
But the average girl, who ad
mires a strong, dependable men
and wants such a man for a hus
band, will be ill-advised if she!
proposes to him. Leap Year or no'
Leap Year. There are plenty ofj
other ways of getting a man!
World Communications Are
Returning to Normal After
Electrical Disturbances
NEW YORK, March 28—Com
munications are returning slowly
to normal after one of the worst
electrical disturbances ever
known to hit the earth as the re
sult of sunspot activity.
Radio short wave in and from
Europe is still hampered by the
{magnetic storm which last Sun
day disrupted electrical commun
ications of all kinds and virtually
isolated America from the rest
of the world for several hours
and affected land telegraph and
telephone, undersea cab! s, and
wireless telephone between New
York and London, and even 1 >ng
: wave radio.
The storm delayed the move
ment of thousands of Easier mes
sages by telegraph.
Dr. William Barton. Jr, exec
utive curator at Hayden pi ie
tarium, said the disturbance was
the ‘‘most disruptive I ever heard
I of.”
The American Telephone and
Telegraph company said it was
the worst remembered: that it
was setting up currents as high
as 500 volts causing insulation to
burn in some instances.
Associated Press wires and the
telephone network were bady
hit.
