MOTHER-IN-LAW

The 18th of June hereafter will
be Mothers-in-Law Day, with a
pink rose as its token gift. So de-
crees the new national association
of mother-in-law, through its presi-
dent, Mrs. Clara A. Griswold.
On second thought, most of us
will support the movement. The
old joke about the average mother
in law being a dragon and a trou-
ble-maker is as false as the jokes
about plumbers loafing on the job.
The average plumber works more
in a week than the average joke
writer ma life. When we hear
a slam at mother-in-laT, we're in
cined to investigate the source OF
complaint.

In the steel industry, average
prices remain Unchanged for eight

ness experts think this looks as if
prices are stabliizing again for a
while. If you want to do any
comparing, steel prices average
about three-fifths higher than in
the 13 years before the war.
