When the Reservists went out on
their training launch yesterday for a
week end of training and drills on
the lower Potomac River they were
furnished funds for their subsistence.
The money became available with
the beginning of the current fiscal
year While the trips they have made
heretofore were at their own expense,
so far as food was concerned, Con-
gress provided funds in the current
appropriation measure for the pur-
chase of food for officers and men
who voluntarily make these week
end training cruises. They do not
receive any pay for this work.
It was said by the Reserve officers
that the demand for permission to
participate in these training trips is
so great that all cannot be accom-
modated and the officers are hopeful
that they will be able to have a
larger vessel assigned here. Prior to
the Governments economy program
there was a destroyer regularly as
signed here which was available for
weekend trips, but the expense was
considered too great at the time the
Government was seeking to cut its
expenses.

TOWNSEND PLAN
LACKING SUPPORT
House Leaders Say Bill Is
Dead for This Session.
Only 80 Signers.

By the Associated Press.
The Townsend pension plan, Demo-
cratic leaders said today with obvious
relief. Is dead for this session of Con-
gresS
Although reluctant to speak pub
licly, they pointed to the fact that
only 80 signatures had been obtained
so far on a House petition to force
vote on the $200-a-month pension
bill. The 80 were affixed in the first
two days after the presentation OF the
petition, but 218 are necessary.
Friends of the legislation insisted
that much more would be heard of
the Townsend proposal, and that
eventually it will be adopted.
Leaders Admit Concern.
Administration chieftains, conscious
of the heavy influx of mail urging
congressional approval, had acknowl-
edged some moments of concern lest
they be forced to grapple openly with
the Townsend drive.
One who continued hopeful that 218
signatures would be obtained was
Representative McGroarty, CALIFORNIA; S
poet laureate, whose name is on the
legislation.
Conceding the start had been SLOW"
he said he looked for new support
from New England and the South,
where he asserted the Townsend
movement was spreading rapidly.
Might Control Election.
I'VE certainly will pass this bill in
the next Congress if not this he said.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the Townsend petitioners-30,0 ,000, 600
of then-can elect Townsend Con-
gress in 1885,"
!. He said Gov. Merriam of Califor-
MIA made wise move" in his recent
Endorsement of the basic provisions of
the Townsend plan.
DR.. F. E. Townsend, the Long Beach,
Calf, author of the plan, refused to
concede defeat at this session.

Answer-I never heard Of such q

Of the dullest and greatest boreS I

scholastic degrees that they were en-
titled TO write half of the letters in

many Of the most highly intelligent,
well-informed people know have had
only grammar school education and
some of them not even that.
Education isn't confined TO what

what you learn from reading, from

of those who have graduated from the

round whenever the weather permits.
She is under weight and wishes to
know If these exercises tend to make
one lose weight.
My answer is: First-see your phy-
sician and try to determine just why
you remain underweight. Physicians
prefer to have the l8-year-old 10
pounds above the average instead Of
below. AS to exercise, bicycling is not
as strenuous as tennis. The latter Is
often ruled out for people who are
much below their normal weight. But
your physician is in better position
to Judge that after an examination.
B. e. wishes to know a cure for
nervousness and a cure for melan-
choly.
OF course, I cannot promise def
mite cure for either. But I do think
that a public speaking course will
help you develop poise. And social
work, helping others, joining politi-
cal club, should all help you forget
yourself and overcome the spells Of
melancholy. Mingle with people your
age, keep active, give your mind very
little chance to dwell on yourself, cul-
tivate a hobby that keeps you inter
ested. You'll find that activity Is

First and foremost is the hazard OF
the over-polished floor. In a COM
pletely carpeted living room, OF course,
this danger does not have to be con-
sidered, but in the home, where the
main room has a floor waXed to icy
smoothness, and the covering con-
sists of small. scattered rugs, there is
an ever-present cause of disaster.
These little rugs should be firmly
anchored" in some way, and any OF
them that show a tendency to curl
on the edges should go to the rug
shop, and have a special treatment to
encourage them to lie fiat. These
curling edges, the council points out,
are particularly dangerous to old peo-
pie, whose sight is dim, and whose
powers of locomotion have been
slowed down-thereby creating the in

Maintaining
Harmony
In Home
Young Are Entitled to
Happiness and Good
Environment.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE atmosphere of the home has
a great deal to do with the be-
havior Of the children outside the
home. If fathers and mothers and
close relatives must disagree, they
should do so in private. They should
never enter into a dispute in the
presence of the children.
Children begin by thinking all
grown up people are about perfect.
They lean hard on them for support
in all they think and do. They try to
follow them in manners and speech
and behavior generally. Imagine
their bewilderment when they dis
cover that these perfect people quar-
rel, use hard words to each other,
get into tempers and shout and
stamp.
Imagine how a child feels to hear
one parent tell another that he does
not know what he Is talking about.
That he Is wrong from start to finish.
The child feels his world slipping
from under his feet. The security he
trusted in has vanished like mist
before a strong wind The faith he
had in his parents, and his relatives,
is shattered, and shattered faith is
rarely restored.
A child Is entitled to happy home
atmosphere. Father and mother are
equally obligated to afford him that
peace Of mind and comfort Of body
that q pleasant home gives Its chill
dren. Being human, fathers and
mothers have bad days. They are
impatient with the wrongs and ills
they have to endure. They have
been separated all day, and meal
time Is the first opportunity they have
Of telling each other what is upper
most in their minds. Being human,
of course, it is trouble that is on
top. Out it comes at the table.
Sometimes this irritation vents It
self on the children. They are ques-
toned and criticized and scolded and
finally sent from the table in disgrace.
Sometimes it is expressed by an ar
gument between father and mother.
an argument that continues until one
or the other leaves the room in anger.
Or it may be expressed in direct
terms, the disaster spread out before
the family. In any form 1t Is bad
for everybody.
An unhappy mealtime Is about
the worst home destroyer imaginable.
Everybody has troubles. Everybody
has days when he thinks the world
is against him. Everybody's children
give trouble and plenty of 1t. Why
not understand that life is full Of
troubles, but also has q few joys.
O family Of children among them.
II trouble comes, as much as pos
sible Of 1t should be screened from
young children. The older ones can
be told what has to be told and their
cooperation enlisted There Is no
better way to preserve family atmos-
phere than by sharing trouble with
the children, provided the trouble is
not thrown at their heads as though
they were to blame for it. Treat the
children as people. Share with them
what can safely be shared and pre-
serve the peace and harmony and
loyalty Of home.
Children stay close to home that
welcomes them. They leave the home
that Is q scene Of daily strife as soon
as they can get away. Some self
control, some unselfish consideration
for others must be imposed upon one
self. some personal restraints must
be endured, If the home is to live. A
small enough price to pay for what
home offers.
