When planning construction of integrated highway
systems, most states have had to go through con-

the governor The state has had experience
with this plural system OF supervision roads.
A movement is well under way in the North Dakota
Legislature to abandon the three-man commission and
adopt the Minnesota plan. Senator A. F. Bonner of
Lgerwood is sponsoring legislation for single highway

For some unexplainable reason the
worm had turr.ed-Donald, who had
always been a rather nervous, timid
little fellow at home, had suddenly
developed into q combination of Attila
and Jesse James.
Worse than that-he had turned
bully, smart-Aleck and braggart.
The friends. relatives and neigh
bors, to say nothing of his parents
and teachers, were aghast. For DON
aid to turn out like this! Donald,
who never had enough spunk to call
his shadow his own! If 1t had been
Paul, or Charles, now-his older
brothers-it wouldn't have been so
bad. But Donald!
Contrast Within Family
Paul was stalky and tough and
feelings. Charles was human ques-
tion-mark with consuming interest
in people and things. When he was
not asking questions, he was taking
things apart to see how they were
made and trying to put them to-
gether again. And he was forever
making things up to do.
Donald never played with the other
boys. They didn't want hinl-that
was evident from the first. Their
nickname for him was "Fraidy Calf"
when it wasn't "Cry-Baby."
His mother petted him but his
father seldom spoke to him. except
to scold. I'D be ashamed, Donald"
Get out Of here If you are going to
sniffle"
Gradually there was formed a
triumvirate of father and the two
older boys, which made the littlest
boys life more miserable than ever.
His mothers protests were in vain.
The psychology Of Donalds change
OF behavior is extremely simple.
Born an lntrovert
He was born gentle, retiring in
trovert-nervous, lacking Self-confi-
dence, and rather fearful.
He needed kindness, praise and en-
enlargement to bring him out and
help him outgrow his unhappy COM
plexes. There are many children
like him in the world.
What did all this unkind treat
ment do? It made him resentful and
bitter. Moreover, stung by constant
ridicule. he became an unruly van
dial. not because he really gloried in
1t. but because it covered terribly

The big banks Of Chicago and Minneapolis have been
keen competitors Of the St. Paul institutions Something

outcome It that Northwestern interests will

SOME CARROT RECIPES

BY persistent cultivation the carrot,
which Is q vegetable Of the parsley
family, has been transformed from
bitter, acrid, fibrous root into the
succulent vegetable Of agreeable
flavor 80 familiar to US al. The most
palatable carrots are those which are
still young, since Is they become
older, they contain some starch and
are tough and not Is tasteful.
Carrots are very rich In MI OF the
alkaline elements, especially potas-
stun, sodium, magnesium and iron.
For this reason. they are q valuable
addition to the diet. When they are
finely grated the juice can be ex-
tracted and in this form 1t is easily
digested by even the most delicate dt-
gestions. and Is especially suitable to
babies suffering from digestive dis
turbances or malnutrition. Children
should be encouraged to eat raw car
rots.
When larger. the carrot must be
considered as q starchy vegetable,
and should be combined only accord
ing to the food combination rule.
Carrots have q large vitamin content
and are especially good for furnish
ing bone forming elements. The
large coarse varieties make excellent
cattle feed, causing the production of
large amounts Of rich creamy milk.
Baked Vegetables
To one bunch of carrots, washed
and diced, add two tuYnips sliced,
two medium sized potatoes cut into
eighths, one chopped head Of cauli-
flower, and a few Of the chopped
cauliflower leaves lying flat across the
top. Bake In q moderate oven for
about an hour. add butter and salt
just before serving.
Baked Carrots
BY selecting the largest carrots
one can bake them in the oven Just
like potatoes. and prepared in this
manner they have q much richer
flavor than when boiled.
Carrot Soup
Boil a bunch Of medium sized car
rots in . close fitting pot with lust
enough water to cover them. When
cooked thoroughly, mash the carrots
In the water In which they have been
cooked, add one-half cup Of milk and
allow them to simmer very slowly. In
dry frying pan. place one table,
spoon Of wholewheat flour and one
fourth teaspoonful Of salt. Place
over moderate fire and stir con-
stantly until the flour has Drowned
thoroughly, but do not permit it to
burn. To this Drowned flour, add
three tablespoonfuls of cream and
one tablespoonful Of butter. Mix
with the carrots, while stirring rapidly
to prevent Jumps forming. II desired,
celery may be added to and boiled
with the carrots.

A divorced woman was returning
home from work few months ago.
Suddenly her former husband APP
peared before her on the street and
asked her for some money. As she
opened her purse to get 1t, he dashed
acid into her face, running away aS
she ran shrieking in agony for help.
That's the story which the woman
told police then.
A day or so ago the case came into
court. The man claimed that he
loved his former wife, the mother Of
his two children, and that she knew
perfectly well that the acid reached
her face as she struggled to obtain
the bottle when he announced his
suicide intention to her, because he
could mo longer live without her."
The prosecutor scored the man
violently. insisting on his deliberate
intent to agonize and disfigure his
former wife. she admitted, Sobbing
on the stand, that she always knew
he didn't htend to harm her; that
her story was as he said; that she
would be waiting till he left prison
(for he was convicted) and that she'd
probably remarry him. All this after
he had publicly confessed that he
still loved her and believed that she
did him.
IN THE DAYS NEWS
There, in just one Of the dozens Of
similar stories which feature our
news day after day, you have men
and women in q nutshell.
This acid hurler may have been
sincere. But the chances are that
he has learned the open sesame
which those three little words are to
a woman's generosity and forgive
ness.
And the woman did what women
always do, no matter how wronged
they have been by man-melt into
weakness and make decisions prompt
ed by emotion rather than common
sense whenever q man avows his
affection, real or feigped.
Even when In the depth Of their
hearts they know that it is feigned,
they topple, even telling an acid
hurler that they'll be waiting outside
the pen door.
Talk with any police prosecutor in
any city about this. He viii tell you

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Books on Psychology
Question: Janet asks: viii you
publish the names of several books
along the lines of developing per-
sonality?"
Answer: I suggest that you consult
your public librarian since there are
so many good books on this subject.
I believe that every book on psy-
chOlogy, personality and behaviorism
has some good quality. BY compar-
ing them one with another you can
obtain the greatest benefit.
Milk and Sweetened Fruit
Question: Mrs. r. D. H. asks:
Does milk combine with raisins and
figs, and is banana squash as starchy
as Hubbard squash?"
Answer: Milk combines well with
dates, raisins, figs, or in fact, any
other fruit. Banana squash is prac-
tically as starchy as the Hubbard
squash.
Liver Spots
Question: Miss w. F.. T. asks
would you advise an orange Juice
diet for the removal of liver spots?
II not, what would you suggest?"
Answer: A fast on citrus fruit is
q good treatment for any kind Of
liver arrangement. although Liver
spots" are probably not caused by
anything wrong with the liver. They
are undoubtedly caused by an acidosis
which is caused by wrong eating and
which is always present with the
different liver arrangements.
