Urges Aged Be GiUen
As Much as Criminals

To the Editor Of The Times:
Protests are increasing against
the pauper pensions for our
needy aged.
Hundreds of thousands, home
less and penniless today, were
among the comfortable, well-to-do
and affluent a few years ago.
They have been robbed and
cheated by closed banks, badly
and dishonesty managed invest
ments and otherwise.
Now, in their desperate need,
these aged and needy people are
supposed to be able to subsist
on a pension that would not pro-
vide warm housing, plainest sus-
tanning food, simplest necessary
clothing and whatever medical
care most old folks need during
their declining years.
According to recent Federal

Synchronized Lights
Urged for All Streets

To the Editor of The Times:
When traffic lights were first
placed in operation here, the then
director of traffic, M. o. Eldridge,
made a study to have the lights
on Sixteenth Street, so timed that
by moving at % miles an hour
q motorist could catch all the
green lights on the thoroughfare.
Since the installion of the Six
tenth Street lights a great num-
Der have been placed in operation
in the downtown section. These
lights, however, have been so
timed that you cannot travel more
than two blocks cat least on New
York Avenue) without being
halted by a red light.

nice job for motorists using Six

"Anglo-American alliances" to do
this, that, and the other thing.
Perhaps it will be necessary for
the United States to team up with
Britain some day to save both
our skins, but here's hoping
Uncle Sam will have sense enough
to keep one hand on his purse.
Incidentally, it might help in
the meantime if we could develop
a few diplomats to match wits
with a man like the British
Ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsey,

WHEN THE DEVIL INVENTED
WORRY
By JEAN NEW

NEROM the loss Of tooth to that
i of mistress, there's no pang that
is not bearable. The apprehension is
much more cruel than the certainty !;
and we make up our mind to the mis-
fortune when tits irremediable, part
with the tormentor, and humble our
crust on t'other side Of the jaws"
In that bit of philosophy from
Thackeray is one Of the strongest in
dictments ever written on the subject
of worry; and it's foolishness and use
lessness.
True, eating on the other side Of the
jaw is not nearly so bad as the an
ticipation of it, as worrying about hav-
ing to do it! Out Of fear Of violence
from my readers / shall not mention
the fact that the necessity to eat in
even a little corner Of the jaw could
not possibly be so destructive of
health and nerves as worrying about
it. Oh, no, l wouldn't mention that
My readers know it. It's Thackerays
point that it isn't even so unpleasant
as thinking about it in advance-that
Is new!
Can we improve on Thackeray? No,
but we can add this thought, that
while it's silly enough to lose sleep
worrying about tooth that's got to
come out anyway, it's absolutely in
sane to worry about losing a tooth
that after all may never have to come
out!
And that's the heaviest burden of
most of our worries, isn't 1.-THE mis-.
fortunes that never do occur! That's
what worry Is for, isn't it?-that's
what the devil invented 1t for--to give
us bald heads and acid stomachs and
lined faces and jumpy nerves over
something that never does happenl

facing Buster Bear he ran straight at
him.
Now If he had run away from Bus
ter things might not have turned out
at all as they did. Buster would have
seen just where he went and the In
slant he recovered from his surprise
would have been after him. AS 1t was,
Danny darted right under Busters big
paw and right across the toes Of one
Of Busters big hind feet. Buster is
big fellow and he looks clumsy, but
he isn't nearly as clumsy as he looks.
In fact, Buster isn't clumsy at all. He
is surprisingly quick in his movements
for such a big fellow. The instant he
recovered from his surprise at the sud-
den appearance of Danny Meadow
Mouse, Buster whirled about. A fat
Meadow Mouse would go splendidly
with those sweet beechnuts he had
eaten.
But by the time Buster had turned
about Danny had darted behind big
tree and there he stopped. He stopped
because he didn't know which way to
CO. 1t happens that that was the
wisest thing he could have done. You
see, If he had continued to run he
would have rustled the dry leaves and
Buster would have known just where
he was. But because he stopped as he
did there was nothing to tell Buster
which way he had gone.
For once in his life Danny Meadow
Mouse was glad he was little. Right
then he would have been glad to be
smaller than he was. Many, many
times he had wished he was big, but
now he was very. very thankful that
he wasn't. Had he been big, as big, let
us say, as Peter Rabbit, the chances
are that he wouldn't have been able
to slip out from under Busters big
paw as he had done. he was glad that
he was little. Yes, indeed, Danny
Meadow Mouse was glad that he was
little.

SUMMER MEALS

DURING the warm weather is the
- time to let down on all unneces-
sary work SO that mother may have a
little vacation as we'll. Informal serv-
ing-letting the youngsters do the
work-it will be change from school
work, and 1t is good thing to train
them to do all kinds Of household
tasks. The girls, of course, are expect
ed to have this training before they
60 into their own homes, or how will
they know how to deal with house
hold matters and spend the money
given to them for the upkeep of the
home? Boys, too, should begin early
to learn how to cook simple foods, be
able to make good cup Of coffee,
prepare a crisp piece of toast, and
serve well-cooked egg. These accom-
plishments are not only helpful but
often necessary in cases Of illness or
absence Of the housewife.
It is not always easy or agreeable
for good housekeeper to turn over
the work to her children, but 1t Is
most gratifying in results. Now is the
time to serve the meals on the porch
or In the garden; the young folks will
enjoy taking the extra steps and the
novelty will serve to delight the whole
family.
Serve breakfast buffet style as the
English do. Everybody has few COW
cred dishes to keep things hot, and
with hot coffee and toast, one may
make a fine breakfast. Scrambled
eggs. sliced bacon, sausages-even hot
griddle cakes or waffles may be made
on the porch.
A perfect picnic is one where every
body does his share of the work and
mother has the restroom work.
A ripe banana with glass of good
milk is sufficient luncheon for q light
meal.
Bananas as fruit are used so fire.
Quently that it is hardly necessary to
mention how well they serve in salads.
Peel banana, roll in chopped nuts
and lay on lettuce leaf or in nest
of water cress. Serve with a rose Of
mayonnaise. The banana should be
dipped into french dressing to moisten
it before rolling it in crumbs . this
adds a special zest to 1t.

fans, who yelled and hooted

down the stretch drive of the Ma

ting it with both barrels from Phil
K Wrigley.
The mild hammered, but aggressive
heir to the Wrigley millions had no
intentions of taking more than q
proprietary interest in the team, but
when he discovered he possessed a
base ball house divided against itself,
he jumped into the breach with an
active leadership that already has
been felt in major league circles.
1t was only last october that
Wrigley, his head buzzing with ideas
that are bound to improve major
league business methods. swung into
action. Some of the results of his
actions:
He eased William Walker, long one
of the teams largest and most power
full stockholders out of the presi-
dency, and took over the job himself.
