engineers at Washington, probably
by the middle of September. Com
tion of Col. Brown, will communi-
cate with Col. Holman in the hope
that he can expedite action. Time
is an important element, since
money for the project, if it is fin
ally approved, will be asked of the
public works administration, which
is speeding up ALLEGATION of the
three billion fund at it's disposal
Answering a question propounded
by the congressman, District En-
gineer Brown says that so far as
he is aware this project is not in
any program of public works that
has come before his office. There
is a possibility, however" wrote
Mr.. Brown, that it has been in
cluded in a program submitted by
the Delaware State advisory board
of public works" A project auth
orized by Congress calls for inn
provements at Lewes estimated to
cost $287, 900, but business inter-
ests have sought alterations de-
signed to be of greater benefit to
the locality Early this year the
board of engineers for rivers and
harbors rejected plan of modifi-
cation and expressed the opinion
that the original project ought to
stand. Col. Browns new report
reopens the matter.

Barnbury was in sight-and the
bus had not been overtaken. 1t
was a little settlement of some
eight or nine houses, two gas-filling
stations, little store and the re-
mains Of an old wooden church.
The Young man had indicated that
he had business ia Barnbury. OBJ
vicusly there was not much busl-
ness to be done there.
"Here we are" Daisy told him.
II was desperately bold thing to
do. but she told him that if his
business wasn't going to take very
long she would wait and carry him
back to Hinton, assuming of
course that he wanted to GO to Hin
ton. But the young man did not
even get out of the car. He looked
at her contritely and explained
that as q matter Of fact he had no
business whatever in Barnbury.
To his surprise the girl at the
wheel showed no sign Of resent
ment. They drove back to Hinton
in silence that became mutually
embarrassing.
Il take it for granted that you
want to go back to Hinton" said
Daisy, with an arch little smile
perhaps you have friends there"
"Not unless 1 might count you as
a friend" said Schuyler. The fact

different from the men we meet
here"
sand you don't exactly hate me
because 1 let you think I was try
ing to get the bus?" said Schuyler.
"Oh, 1 knew you weren't trying
to get the bus. Only at the time
I couldn't think Of any better ex-
cuse to talk to you.''
Daisy took her eyes from the
road ahead Of her long enough to
look at him with a little pout Of
annoyance. And / suppose you'll
start right on your way as soon as
we get back to HintOnr'
"Not if you'n let me stay-and-
and get a little better acquainted
AS a matter Of fact there isn't any

earlier in the day as I came into
Hinton, and I made up my mind
that | wasn't going to leave the
place until / knew you better. I
think 1t was a case Of love at first
sight"
II can't tell you how glad ! am
that you feel that way about it,"
said Daisy. I'D hate awfully to
feel that way about 1t all by my

TAX
AIMED At GAS,
NRA PLAN
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The NRA will sponsor a plan
Tor imposing an "equalizing" tax
on natural gas in the next session
Of Congress in order to protect the
bituminouS coal industry from
unfair competition" it was indi-
Gated today.
The necessity for such a tax was
outlined during a discussion with
NRA officials on other code
problems.
The officials pointed out that
in the Alabama coal fields, for in
stance, mine owners would, when
forced to increase wages under
the coal code, find that nearby
gas producers could supply cheap
er fuel to many of the base manu-
facturer consumers in the region.
Same Elsewhere
Similar conditions will exist in
other fields where coal producers
are already in more or less direct
competition with natural gas pro-
ducerS.
The possibility of equalization"
taxes being imposed by Congress
on hydroelectric and fuel oil pro-
ducers, if they are able to increase
unduly their market because OF
the coal code, was also mentioned.
It was pointed out that under
the coal code the existing differ
enceS in wage scale between varl-
GUS producing regions was main
tained as much as possible in the
code finally approved by President
Roosevelt.
A Mere Extension
The NRA officials declared the
congressional authority to impose
Equalization" taxes on gas, hydro
electric and fuel oil producers
would merely be an extension into
the marketing field of the same
differential maintenance principle
that was already in operation in
the coal industry on wage prob
lens.
One official described the neces-
Bity for a tax on natural gas pro-
ducers as "sociologically justifi-
able" from every angle. He said
that under the coal code hardy
effort was being made to restore
prosperity to great number OF
permanent populous communities
which Subsist entirely through
coal production.

"Mother just ruins Tommy" said Thomas' mother to her neigh bor. "She lets him have his own way in everything"
 "He always minds me-" said her own mother placidly.
 That's because you trick him. bribe him."

 Well" said the neighbor. "pm like Mary here. When l tell a child to do something, he does it. If he says he won't, smack him."
 That's one way" nodded Grandma, ~'and 1 don't say it doesn't work sometimes. But just think it is betetr to get a
 child to obey himself than to break down his will by using force. Some time you might want him to have a will. It's a fine thing in a man. Then maybe he won't have the spunk he needs. and you'll be saying, You haven't any more spirit than a rabbit, son. You do everything every one tells you, and you haven't enough spunk to stand up for your own rights" Forcing a Situation "Well-Tm not going to have Tommy spoiled declared her daughter. Anyway he does mind you and he won't mind me. told him to bring in his wheel and he said he was going out in 10 min utes and would need it. But l wouldn't argue and I said, Bring up that wheel when tell you." He banged it up the steps and broke the pedal. That's why l smacked him."
 You forced a situation you really didn't need to force,. Nary" said Grandma. Children have common sense. He couldn't see the justice in having to tug his wheel up a dozen steep steps and down again when he was going right out. You see, you make an issue out of every little thing. You punish him for what you call prin- ciple's sake. You are fearfully afraid of losing your pwer over him. You can see that with half an eye"
 A Child's Will
 Her daughter was silent. The neighbor looked thoughtful. Grand mas words had 8 ring of truth.
 "I treat Tommy as reasonable person." continued Grandma. "He has a fine will. love it. I like to show him he has a right to think and act, that I respect his judg- ment as I want him to respect mine.
 But see here, Mary" she con- cluded. II am doing some harm i; and l know it. I am cutting my visit short to give you two a chance to get together again. A child can have too many bosses. won't interfere with mothers authority"
 Grandma's stay had done some i good, however. What she said bore fruit. Team work took the place of constant argument and discipline and Tommy still retains his spirit.

'I have been working very hard during the past few weeks, and about four o'clock my face looks absolutely grey! Is it because don't use the proper cleansing methods ?"-Freda H.. New Jersey.
 That grey veil that comes over the face when we are tired and weary, is a warning signal! If we read it aright, we know that the circulation has slowed up, and con- sequently the skin loses its rosy, youthful tone.
 If you have the time to take the proper exercise, to get out in the open air frequently, and to rest when necessary your circula- tion keeps up the right tempo. When, through pressure of work, you lack this stimulation, you must enliven the skin from the outside.
 Lotions, such as youthifying sti- mulants or stronger stimulating tonics, bring the blood to the sur face, and awaken the skin to new life and vigor. Then the complex ion regains its youthful tone, and the tissues are kept healthy and smooth. I would suggest that you use stimulant once or twice dur ing the day for while to bring back your normal skin tone.
