NV brother and his wife both

four in their family, and my sis
ter's husband makes very GOOD
money. All these salaries are higher

two old people are in my care Is
that I am not married. 1 can not
think that ones entire duty to his
parents ceases when he takes on
marriage. If didn't need help 1t

different. but I do and they can.

Could I 60 to law and make them

Answer-Your sisters husband
is not legally responsible for the
care of the old people, but your
brother is. He can be forced to
contribute. If you should take
lob in another town, leaving your
parents with insufficient funds, the
court would take action against
your brother.
The chances are that you are
too humane to subject your par
ents to this distress and humilia-
ton in order to force your selfish
brother to do his part. What other
method will turn sufficient heat
on them to bring action?
The strength of your decision
not to be further imposed upon
will be the determining factor in
what they do. You have drifted
into the situation through force
of circumstances and your brother
and sister, absorbed in their own
problems, have come to take you
for granted. They have ration
allied their behavior to their own
satisfaction and you have allowed
them to remain entirely too COM
Portable because of your dread
OF causing trouble.
This is your weakness and they
have played upon it consciously or
unconSciouSly. Now you must make
them uncomfortable. You need
to be more outspoken and firm in

your dealings with them. Call
them together and show them to
themselves. Demand reasonable
aid even if it means a family row
which it probably will Do not
hesitate to call down upon their
heads the disapproval of their
friends. Spare them nothing UNI
til they are forced by the power
full weapon of shame to abandon
their SNUG and selfish assumption
that an unmarried brother should
carry their load for them.
An influential third party, such
as a priest or legal advisor,
would be great aid in stirring
their dormant conscience to &C
ton. You must show them that
you mean business and give them
no rest until they act. Silent re-
sentiment and timid approaches
will accomplish nothing, but a
vigorous campaign against them
will bring results.

In the actual match, Mrs. RoSenfeld

ing diamonds.
Mrs. Rosenfeld next played the

The six vas played from dummy.
Lead of the deuce definitely asks
Mrs. Rosenfelds partner to trump

makes such a request, you should
not trump it low.

If Mrs. ROSenfeld's partner hao

 We know our Alaska too well to have the slightest desire to send host of inexperienced men into the hills un less they were sent under the supervision of capable old timers and engineers The fact remains that there are large numbers of who have prospected and who know something of geology and mneraogy who unable to get into the hills and who forced to accept some form o relief or emergency work of highly doubtful values Many of these men are costing the much larger sum of money than would cost to outfit them and transport them to known mineraized of the north and this money is being expended in manner which precludeS any possibility of its finding it's way back to government coers

So Per Cent of City
Homes in Survey Are
In Need of Repairs

The great need for home repairs
and home building in the cities of the
nation is clearly shown in a summary
of the first 25 cities covered in the
Real Property Inventory recently
conducted by the U. S. Government.
A total of 281,6S9 dwelling units
are included in this first summary.
OF this number, the startling fact is
shown that 81 per cent are rated as
in second class condition. ii per cent
in third class condition and two per
cent in fourth class condition. Thus,
So per cent of the houses surveyed
are in need of repairs and improve
ments.
The astounding facts are revealed
that 80 per cent of the houses sur
veyed have no tubs or showers: %
per cent have no water closets. Six
teen per cent were rated as crowded,
and two per cent as overcrowded or
greatly overcrowded. The number of
houses vacant was only seven per
cent.
Of the 2S1,6s9 dwellings,, 162,1s5,
or 81 per cent, still use a heating
stove.

BURIED TWO HOURS
MAN STILL LIVES

Buried under nine feet of earth for
two hours in ditch on which he was
working near Fairmont, Henry Cliff
ford, foreman of relief job, suffered
bruises Thursday afternoon.
Clifford and four other men were
working on the ditch when large
section of the side caved in, falling on
him, as he was working about II feet
down.
Several of the other men immedia-
tely began the task of digging him
out. 1t was a slow process, as the
earth was moist and heavy and the
men didn't know the exact place
where he was lying.
After about two hours of digging,
during which they did not expect to
find their companion alive, they fin
ally reached Clifford. His shovel was
in such a position that it broke the
weight of the earth above him and at
the same time left him space in which
to breathe.
He was conscious, but almost suf-
located and it is doubtful whether
he could have lived much longer.
