cases On both tho active and retired
lists these reductions would represent
real financial hardship"
These reductions, Gen. Macarthur
pointed out, would come on top Of the
reductions already made under the gen.
eral economy act In addition to the
1-3 per cent now being deducted, q
ngure which now seems likely to be in
creased to 10 per cent, his rental allow
ance has been reduced by 10 per cent
and that for subsistence by approx
mately IA per cent.
These two reductions, we are in
formed" he added, "are to be increased
cent"
The effects Of the Taber amendment
would also extend beyond the confines
OF the Regular Army. Every Reserve
onicer when called to national duty and
every National Guard officer serving
annual tour In camp would suffer a di-
rect, and In many cases, very con-
siderable loss in pay, Gen. Macarthur
explained. This type of service Is spe-
clncally excluded for longevity purposes.
The alleged injustices workable under
the Taber amendment are illustrated in
examples furnished by the War Depart
ment.
Based on the proposed reckoning of
longevity pay some lieutenant colonels
would lose nothing, while others would
lose up to $1,215.96; some majors moth
Ing, others up to $1.716 and captains
from nothing to $1,903.
Fights Connery Amendment.
Gen. Macarthur also protested with
equal Vlgor against the Connery amend
nsnt. wnlcn limits the pay Of retired
omcers 10 $4,000. Mr.. Connery offered
MS amendment IN the House simply to
enable MN to attack officers of the Ma
tlonal economy League who are receiv-
ing retired pay from the Government,
ana declared he intended to withdraw
1t. When he attempted to do SO he was
prevented and 1T was passed.
HIS amendment was aimed ostensibly
at Maj. Gen. Harbord, who was able
last year to draw his retired pay and
MS salary also from the Radio Corpo-
ration OF America, while Mai. Gen.
Mason M. Patrick. Public Utilities Com
missioner OF the District, and Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, former superin-
tendent OF police, were deprived of'their
retired pay because they were drawing
salary from the Government.
On April 10 last there were 1850
retired officers Of the Regular Army. OF
these only SO receive retired pay in ex-
cess Of $4,000 q year. All others re-
ceive from SLIPS to $4,000. More than
!.500 OF the officers were retired for
disability incident to the service.
In principle at least" Gen. Mac
Arthur declared. this amendment Is
another case Of repudiating the under
standings and agreements this Govern
ment has maintained with the retired
officer during his entire period of active
service"
National Guard supporters In the
Senate are rallying their forces to block
these two amendments should either
one Of them be reported from the Sem
ate Committee. While high service Of
ficials believe the Senate will succeed
in conference in killing the House
amendments. there IS apprehension on
the score of the Taber amendment. at
least, that the plea for economy may
result, in its retention. This. they be-
lieve. would do more than any other
single act in undermining the present
morale Of half the commissioned force

walking with a friend the

Of people outside a movie

Q gorgeous moon was shining.
It was a bitter cold day.
Some of the men waiting 20

without overcoats. Some Of the
women were in threadbare suits.
All were stamping their feet to
keep warm until their turn
came to buy tickets into the
lovely Never Never Land-and
forget realities for a moment!
s"Isn't that outrageouS?" the
woman with me asked. She
wouldn't have been walking

hadn't been growing where one
grew before, so that her beauty
doctor had told her that less
food and more exercise was her
only hope.

msnded, because my prosperous
friend is one who feels that
people without coats and furS
should not be trying to enjoy
themselves.
"ThoSe people spending money
on movies, when likely as not
more than half Of them have
to be helped"
why do you object to them

manded. "They haven't coats.
probably they haven't jobs.
Then why shouldn't they go
into a nice warm theater and
see a picture Of some imaginary
place that will make them for

hour or two?"
But my friend, after the man
ner Of the super-proSperous. was
shocked at my philosophy Of
life, which is rather close to
that old war song: Pack up
your troubles in the old kit
bag"
And goodness knows, there
never was a time when We
needed more to pack up our
troubles than at present. In
fact, we've got to pack them,
not only in the interest of our
families and ourselves, but to
keep sane.

Mental Hygiene, has said that
"a mental breakdown Is a time
bomb set to explode sometime
after the actual causes Of un-

He goes on to say that
fathers of families are hardest
hit by the bad times, and that
"unfeeling wives and unthink-
ing children" often place on
them the blame for situations
in which many families find
themselves at present.
These days people must not
live too close to their own
troubles. Release, even for a
few minutes, is to be desired
greatly. Don't dwell upon your
troubles, going round and round
like a squirrel in cage. Break
away sometime, If possible, even
to see a South Sea movie.
And you girls, with boy friends
who can't afford to spend

ease Of childhood, is one Of

to develop insidiously, without
the mother suspecting what is

Although ricketts, manifests it.
self in changes in the bones.
it is really q disease Of nutri-
tion. In other words, whenever
rickets is present, faulty diet is
to blame. The trouble always
is due to q deficiency Of fat,
or Of protein, or both.
A mother should be particu-
larly careful If she is giving
her baby or young child pro-
prietary foods almost exclu-
cively. Such a child may look
fat and healthy, yet not be get
ting what its body needs in the
way Of fat, protein ingredients
and vitaminS. Proprietary
foods are usually rich in sugars
and Starches. These make the
body fat, but the infant needs
more than that.
Even breast fed children
may develop ricketts,, although
the chances of their doing so
are less than in those brought
up on the bottle. Consequently,
a mother must be ever on the
alert for the first suspicious
signs. If she Is not nursing her
baby, particular attention
should be given to the milk
formulas. These must be
changed every few months
perhaps even every few weeks
to meet demands Of the grow
ing child. Special care must
be taken not to use q food that
does not contain enough Of the
fats and proteins so necessary
to health and vitality.

The Rule Of Eleven is a g----at

you could read the situation

easy to understand. The low

have the following numerical
values: Ten, 10; j, IL; Q, IL;
K, Is; Ace, IA. If you had no
rule, you would deduct the 9
from IA, saying: There are
six cards in the pack higher
than the 8. That card being
my partners fourth-best, he
has three Of those six higher

I see two of those higher out

time he told me that he was

affected his health. He has q
fairly good position. which is
steady. He is good-looking and

that he is sincerely in love with
me. IF he is unwilling to take
the chance that I am, why
does he not want to marry?

Your letter leaves me with
the impression, my dear Vir-
ginia, that you are quite pre-
pared to do your part toward
making a success of the pro-
posed marriage. The only res
ervation I have is that success
full marriage necessitates that
both parties be equally willing
to bear burdens, make sacri-
fices and give equally Of them
selves. If you feel that the
man of whom you speak realizes
this, and is prepared to do his
part, then you would be justi.
fled in taking the step you
speak Of. But, my dear, you
should feel sure of this. Much
of your letter, which had to be

impression that the young man
