Some sage once said that there are really two kinds of people in the world, the kind who love to get up in the morning, and the kind who definitely do Which type you are is good bedroom. For those who leap eagerly to their feet with the dawn, a briskly cheerful color scheme is appropriate. But for those who prop themselves up a little at a time to eer tremullously at the new day, there's no joy in the sight aggresslively cheerful colors. There are other considerations, of course.

If the bedroom is naturally bright and sunny, sunny colors may make it all the more difficult to get the most out of the last early morning hour of sleep. If the bedroom is gloomy, light colors -well-lit may be the only' solution in making the bedroom pleasant at any hour. And if the bedroom is used as a study or sitting room as well, the best choice of color will be in the rather than typical bedroom colors. living Too feminine colors should be avoided for the bedroom that's shared by both heads of the house. Two or three colors that go well together aren't enough start for a successful bedroom color scheme.

It's important to start, before any color is chosen, with analysis of your own habits whether you rise early or late, happily or protestingly and of the quality of light in the room, and the use is made of the room. This will tell you first of all whether the colors should he light or dark. briskly contrasted or colors quietly monotone. themselves Then can the chosen.

What's Best for Your Child Mothers Are Reminded Son Is Not Sweetheart By DR.

DAVID GOODMAN family nor serve as a male ideal to their sons. Need Affection What is the dividing line between a mother's proper and improper affection for a son? This is an acutely significant question to which all mothers should give some deep thought. In the infant period, all children, regardless of gender, require a great deal of mothering. They need to be held, supported and fondled by the mother. The lack of such affection may cause infant children to become depressed and nervous and prevent their normal growth and development.

A very young boy, too, needs to feel that his mother approves of him as a boy, just as a very young girl needs to see in her father a kind of first sweetheart. No Substitute But as the children grow older, the mothering must gradually diminish. In particular, it must be absolutely clear to the children that the primary love object of the mother is the father, and that the primary love object of the father the mother. Of course the parents love the children and have many ways of showing their affection and regard. But continued cuddling and coddling of growing children, especially of sons by an over- affectionate (because love-starved) mother is very damaging to the masculine personality.

Don't make your sons pay for the imperfections of your marriage. Rather let your boys be boys and live the bold, adventurous life proper to their gender. Don't hold back, but rather encourage them to face risk and danger, to struggle with ficulty, to attempt new careers, to fight for what is right and true. You may enjoy their company as they willingly give it, may not impose your affections upon them. Let them be free, and in dom they will give you more love--proper son-mother lovethan if you demand it.

BROOKLYN EAGLE, OCT. 24, 1954 17 SUNDAY, OCT. 24-Born on this first day of the incoming sign, Scorpio, you are ruled by Mars, the warrior god, who gives you the ability to battle aggressively and dauntlessly for everything you want. You aspire to power. This, you may have, for your ability to dominate the group in which move, will, in turn, take you outside of that group into larger fields of endeavor.

Being born on the cusp of the incomling sign also gives you some of the character of the outgoing Libra, with its balanced judg. ment as well as its love of beauty and harmony. You will. in addition, have deep religious vein in your nature which calls for some kind of expression may not be a complete conformist, but you are genuinely spiritual, ethical and honest in all your contacts with mankind. Some may believe that you are merely selfseeking in your desire to advance.

But if they will look more deeply into your true personality, they will see that there is a deep desire to help others less fortunate than yourself. Your true motivations for reform or crusade are sometimes misunderstood. Posterity, however, will probably re-eval-rived. duate your contributions. Although you are not overly demonstrative, once you have given your love, you are devoted and steadfastly loyal, lect someone who is in complete sympathy with your ideals.

For Blasting Stumps -COMPLETE SHORT Truthful Lie Detector (Four minutes reading time) by SAM D. COHEN It was a fatal evening that Anna Waszak and her eight room of their home and joyfully Louise, 18, played the piano. The old John Waszak four years older than his wife, was busy about the barns, caring for the livestock and doing other tasks. Two other children, Phyllis and a 25-year-olde son, were living in Milwaukee. Suddenly an explosive roar was heard and blinding flash lighted up the countryside for miles away.

There was a crashing, tearing noise of shattering timbers and crumbling foundations, and where the Waszak home had stood only twisted debris remained. The entire group in the home-eight children and the mother--were dead. News of the tragedy sped like lightning over Wisconsin. The scene occurred in Waukesha County and Sheriff Edward J. Mitten and Prosecutor Scott Lowry, accompanied by Coroner Martin E.

Fromm, soon arAs the scene of the carnage was being cleared a middle-aged man staggered forward on wavering and unsteady feet. His face was smeared with dirt and blood, the front of his clothling covered with gore. On his face was an expression of stark terror. It was John Waszak Sr. Scott Lowry walked up tole Waszak, a hulking, strong man well past average size, and spoke to him.

The dazed farmer, made no reply. From his lips came a pitiful whimpering sound that might have been the cry of a wounded kitten. "My family my wife and children. They are all gone!" he moaned over and The cause of the blast was pyrotel, a dynamite used for blasting stumps and rocks in the fields. For years the explosive was kept in a pump house.

but Mrs. Waszak objected of late that one of the children might find it, so the pyrotell was removed into the basement, said Mr. Waszak later. Prosecutor Lowry pointed out the incongruity of the ment being used in preference to the pump house, and the farmer shrugged. "Women are funny that way," he philosophized.

"Especially wives." At this point Lieutenant Me. Caigue and Deputy Sheriff Redford arrived from Milwaukee. With them they brought Phyllis Waszak and her brother. Both were red-eyed from weeping and, like their father, ap- Miss Elizabeth M. Doyle's Marriage Announced Queen of All Saints R.

Mrs. children gathered in the living sang songs and danced 86 husband and father, 54-year- peared stunned by the tragedy. However, they were able to give complete statements, declaring they could shed nO light on the explosion. And in one respect Phyllis' story differed from her father's. She added that she had not known of the pyrotel being stored in the basement and declared she did not understand how her mother could have tolerated it.

"Mother was deathly afraid of explosives and guns," she stated. "She wouldn't let the children have firecrackers on the Fourth of July, not even little ones. She was even afraid of matches and kerosene lamps." Turns Back on Daughter When the brother and sister met the father a strange scene occurred. Waszak sternly refused to talk to Phyllis, his daughter. He turned his back to her and appeared to hear nothing of what she was saying to him.

He appeared relieved and comforted to see and talk to his oldest son, but had not so have a glance for his daughter. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. Yet Sheriff Mitten was not quite satisfied. The strained relationship between the girl and her father kept rettrning in the officer's mind. How could they hear any ill-will in the face of nine tragic deaths among those they loved? He suspected all was not well and awaited this "fancy" Lurex threads side showing.

Some months later the opportunity arrived. "I know who set off the explosion that killed my family," stated the girl emphatically. "And I'm going to tell who it is!" was my father who set off the pyrotel," shes declared. "Why wouldn't he speak to me that day in the funeral parlor? He didn't because he was afraid I was suspicions; that I might trip him up and Let him to admit something. In thinking it over I came to no other conclusion, although didn't realize it at the time." The girl went on to declare that she hated her father with a bitterness that tormented her.

"He was always mean to us," she sobbed. "He beat us with sticks until the blood came, every time we didn't do just as he said. Sometimes he would beat us just to show us who was the boss. "Things had been getting worse at home this she said. "Mother was thinkling of getting a divorce.

Father was so cruel to the children that she couldn't endure it. He was furious because she wanted to divorce him. They had a bitter quarrel several weeks heforce and he told her he would wipe out you and your whole She had been terrified since then." Brought face to face with father, the girl repeated her accusation. The farmer did not appear a bit disconcerted. "You're crazy," was his answer.

"Just because you want to get my farm you want to send me to prison. Maybe you caused the explosion." Waszak was locked up on suspicion when Sheriff Liskowitz, in whose office the ques. toning, was "John," held, he tried said, a "there new is a machine we can use to tell if you are lying or telling the truth. It's called a lie detector. Will you go to Chicago and take a test under it? If it shows you are telling the truth we'll release you." "Crazy stuff." Waszak declared.

"No machine can tell if a man lies. Only I know if I lie. Nobody else knows. Sure, 1'11 go to Chicago. Why not? I'll get a ride." The trip to Chicago was made, but the test did not go off as Waszak predicted.

The lie detector recorded that zak lied when he denied setting off the pyrotel. In every respect it verifiea the case that had been built up against him. It indicated that there had been hatred in his heart for his wife and children: that Mrs. Waszak had not known of the pyrotel in the basement; that he feared Phyllis would trap him. Once more the accused faced Sheriff Liskowitz.

"The lie detector has told us all we need to know. he was told. "We've got a case of circumstantial evidence that will bring a conviction from any Mother Errs Women who cultivate a more than mother son relationship with a male off-spring are tak-1 ing the wrong road to happiness. Disaster is inevitable for one or the other or both. Yet how many women do just this, not realizing the spiritual havoc they are causing.

The case histories fill many a psychiatrist's notebook. Why do they do it? The answer to that question is not too far to find. A woman -member of the romantic sex -when married to an unromantic man, seeks emotional gratification somewhere. What better object than a charming young son? Sometimes the woman herself has no talent for romantic love on an adult Her husband is as dissatisfied with her as she is with him. He turns to his career for consolation; she turns to her children, especially her sons.

Unfair to Boy Alas, mother bound boy! He is the plaything of his mother's emotions and may not live an independent creative life of his own of truly masculine character.

His wife was going to divorce him and he was not going to be discarded after 25 years of marriage. She would take the farm. he said, and he would get nothing.
