"She did not" replied Writ.
Buiwinkle asked how long Miss
Kneeland had been in the Govern

Writ did not know.
He resumed his discussion on the
dinner conversation, saying that he
was trying to get the key to the sit

What he said in the Philadelphia
speech, Tugwell went on. was that !

I did not believe people realized what
the cost would be.
MY whole attitude was one Of

Meanwhile, Speaker Rainey denied

The Speaker had been asked about

added:
"Westervelt said Henry Rainey came
to his Office sometime last November

he was interested for his constituents.

Bulwinkle had difficulty in keeping
Wirt's remarks limited to the conver-

times Writ started to quote from public
statements by DR.. Tugwell, but each
time Bulwinkle stopped him.
When Writ was asked time and
again to stick to the conversation at
the dinner party. he kept branching
out. Bulwinkle stopped him repeat

the conversation at the dinner. But
Writ referred to Tugwell's writing
anyway.

Sitting at life's western window,
Watching the setting sun,
The curtains of night are falling,
After the days works done.
The stars come out and shining
Gods lights at His palace gate,
Awaken fond memories within US,
Loved ones who watch and wait
The night winds softly signing
In the branches of the trees;
Meadows of green so peaceful,
Songs of the whispering breeze.
The silver moon in beauty
Climbing upward in the sky;
Our happy hearts rejoicing,
And we know the reason why.

HEALTH DIRECTOR URGES FRANKNESS
Silence Dangerous in Mat- ters of Social Hygiene,
 States Dr Talbot

On the willingness of parents to be frank with their children and to support frankness on the part of teachers, club leaders, athletic coaches, social workers and others in relation to the subjet or sex and social hygiene rest the success and happiness of the home of to- morrow. Dr Henry P. Talbot, di- rector of the Bureau Social Dis eases of the State Department of Health, declared in the depart ment's weekly broadcast today.
 Although such franikness per- haps did not exist when today's parents were young, the modern education of boys and girls is saturated with a scientific attitude which teaches youth to overthrow myth, sham and subterfuge, to face facts and to discuss them squarely, Dr Talbot explained. Moreover, he said. there Is a ten- dency to swing from a Puritanic silence into more normal atti- tude which not only ysrecognizes the sex factor as a natural part of human life, but makes a whole hearted attempt to indicate the role it plays in human society. Youth, quick to catch the modern viewpoint, wants, needs and is en- titled to the benefit of the know ledge to be gained by frankness, eh said.
 Far too many youths, Dr Tal- bot stated, are not given the pro- per information by anyone and become victims of circumstances which bring damage to their bod ies and their souls, muh of which is preventable.
 The proper place for teaching youth the facts of life is, first, in the home by fathers and mothers
