Shea who died in Detroit last November leaving her 910.000, because she had not seen him since she was 10 years of age.
 Tn 1918 when he left. here. she was a little girl with honey colored curls. There was a mutual amec- ton for each other and they were always together.
 There was no evidence that he had left a will when he died in November. A scrap of paper was found among his belongings in April Of this year which led to further investigation. Later it was discovered that $10,O00 was re- posing in a Detroit bank, in his name. With the money was a will legally drawn. ...
 Under the provisions of the will the money was ordered bequeathed to his niece, Helen Marie Dris- coll, daughter of my sister. Mar garet Dowling."
 Shea, 5s. former Ford company employe. instructed in his will that he be inferred in Springfield. Mass. Miss Driscoll, in charge of the Hosiery department at.

Disease Bureau Chief Censures
 Secrecy On Sex
Declares Foolish Taboos
 Are Causing Needless
 Snffering-Urges Par ents to Teach Children

Censuring the still prevailing practice of surrounding the sub- ject of sex hygiene and sex edu- cation with antiquated taboos and harmful secrecy. pr Henry P. Tal- bot, director of the Bureau of ven- ereal Disease of the State Depart ment of Health, in the department 6 weekly broadcast today declared that these taboos and the failure of parents to educate their children concerning this subpect "even to- day bring about an unmeasurable amount of needless suffering, many distortions of personalities and the defeat of much human capability."
 "There are a great many people who regard sex as necessary evil at its best and tolerate 1t only be- cause they cannot abolish 1t al- together 'Dr. Talbot asserted. Somehow they have built up q concept that this particular prob lem is something to be avoided as one would shun vulgarity and in- decency, yet 1t is recognized that a happy matrimonial union is the Fundamental unit of society. From SuCn d uuiuh SOth0 AAVoS OA tAS finer elements which make life worth living and which inspire 1t with a purpose, so it is strange that thinking people can be so foolish as to permit young people to as- sume this most important relation ship in life without one word of proper instruction on the subject.
 How much longer will we per- init ideas concerning sex matters to be picked out of the gutter and made vile and selfishly corrupt? Young people today are demanding an education that is actually in- structive and useful. The particu- lar education of which I speak is a problem for parents. If only the questions and curiosities of youth were met frankly and sincerely by parents and educational leaders, much mental suffering and physi- cial disease would ultimately be prevented"
 Stating that he, himself, was limited in his Speech by present day taboos. Dr Talbot offered the assistance of the state department of health to parents desiring in- formation and references which are needed to educate properly their children on sex hygiene.

Finds Phosphates of
II. S. Worth Billions

The $500, 100000 worth of phos-
phate rock which the phosphate de-
posits Of the United States have
yielded to date Is a small item COM
pared to the total phosphate re-
sources OF this country. Workers
of the bureau of chemistry and soils
have completed a survey of Amer
ica's phosphate resources which has
been published by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
They estimate American phosphate
resources at 6,2O0,OO0.O00 long tons,
worth approximately s1S,000,0o0.0O0.
Because the phosphate deposits of
the United States form Its most val
liable natural fertilizer resource.
and because phosphate fertilizers
are used more widely and In great
er quantities by American farmers
than fertilizers containing other
plant-food elements, these findings
are of interest to farmers and fer
tilizer manufacturers.
This survey discloses the occur
rence, production, and reserves OF
phosphate rock In the United
States and presents detailed In
formation on their chemical compo-
sition which indicates the COM
parative value of all the domestic
varieties OF phosphate rock that are
OF commercial Importance at the
present time.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY

1t never pays to worry. There aren't
many things that can happen to us that
are hopeless.
All that mankind really needs for
existence is food to eat and a place to
sleep. As far as our physical being is con-
cerned that is all that can cause us any
worriment And we may go hungry for a
shor time or sleepless for while without
lasting detriment
Of course, this would not be agree
able, but it would not be fatal.
AS far as our mental welfare is con-
cerned, we have even less basis for worry.
We may not be able to enjoy the
material things we have found reason
for creating mental contentment, but all
around us we can find substitutes. The
birds flowers, sunshine, friendships, inter
change of ideas, reading, study and many
other things, are ours merely for the TAX
ing.
Our only excuse for worrying is fear
of what may happen in the future. But in
this connection, we might quote from
memory some lines from book of the Rev.
Thomas Dixon, THE One Woman"
An old man has carved over his man.

most of which never happenedw

NO HISTORICAL ALARM

Headline news has surrounded the
widespread bank holidays which spread
from Michigan and Louisiana to Oregon,
California, New York and other states,
and finally eliminated with the general
holiday declared by the president. In no
instances were these accompanied by any
widespread public uneasiness. There has
been nothing even remotely resembling
panic. Holidays were declared to give
time to prepare and pass legislation de-
signed to protect deposits.
Immediately preceding the general
bank holiday trade reviews reported
steady improvement in the business pic
ture. Favorable factors outnumbered the
unfavorabIe--a very definite change from
conditions of few months ago. Brad
streets pointed To better bank elearings,
as compared with a year ago. the decline
in business failures, signs of stability in
the wholesale food price index, and the
evident satisfaction of industry in general
over action taken to repeal prohibition.
A noticeable strengthening of the
public morale-shown, for example, in
improved security prices-accompanied
the inauguration of President Roosevelt.
Further strengthening of confidence re-
suited from the constructive and instrGc-
tive address made by President Roosevelt

THE SPECIAL SESSION

Prompt relief may be expected by
the special session of congress.
Financial legislation is of course the
first business. Present conditions demand
that action along this line be taken
promptly and vigorously.
The second order of business will in
all probability be the passage of the beer
bill. This will Immediately open up a
large and important industry which has
long been dormant, and one that will have
an immediate effect ON employment bust
all farm products.
The outlook is quite promising. The
country is rich in possessions of natural
and intrinsic wealth.
At the end of the world war we were
very prosperous as far as money was con-
cerned. Everybody had money and there
was plenty of work for everybody.
To-day the country is in the doldrums
and everybody seems to be broke.
Yet here is the surprising angle of
the situation. Today we have throughout
the country more actual wealth, more
actual intrinsic value, than we had at the
end of the war. During the time that has
interviewed, we have been creating value
Our trouble is that we have a lot of
hidden value and hidden resources that we
have permitted to lie idle.
