of IVA foes before being sent to
CongreSs-and kept staff of Is
Investigators in Knoxville at a
cost Of $4,000 a year-which the
IVA had to pay.
The agents occupied themselves
with counting the number of COWS
purchased to supply milk for IVA
construction camps and how many
workers paid admissions to IVA
movie shows. On one occasion
the agents by mistake counted
the ushers and filed report
charging the IVA with misman-
agement.
The new statute puts an end
to these tactics. McCarl is still
empowered to audit IVA &C
counts. But quietly slipped into
the act are three provisions:
Cd Barring him from holding
up bids; 90 requiring him to bear
the cost of his COW and movie
audience checkers; and Cd spe-
cif1cally directing that before sub
hitting an auditing report, he
must turn it over to the IVA and
include as an official part of the
document, the IVA rebuttal.
For Mr. McCarl there is an
added bitterness in these provi-
sions, because in the bill as re-
ported out by the House Military
Affairs Committee. his control
over IVA finances was greatly en-
HANGED and he saw himself about
to become the real ruler of the
project.
Instead, as the bill finally
passed. he was stripped of most
Of the powers he once had.
d OTUND Robert Kelley ardent
Az Russian batter and for 10
years chief of the State Depart
ment's Russian Division" has
been trying desperately to visit
Moscow.
The nearest he has ever been
to the Soviet capital was when he
was military observer in Latvia,
later consul in Calcutta.
He has advised his State De-
partment chiefs against Russian
relations and the fact that he has
never been there has been a def
mite handicap.
So last summer Kelley finally
decided to visit the land on which
he was supposed to be a special
ist. But just as he was about to
leave came the i,npaSse over debts
forcing him to cancel the trip.
This summer he again set to
learn something firSt-hand about
Russia. This time came the
crisis over propaganda. Again
Kelley did not sail.
He was the original author of
Roosevelt's singing blast to the
Soviet. Wisely he figured he
would not be welcome in Moscow.

Twin LepnVrS CAeSe were pldC6U
in operation between Chicago
and st. Paul on april 81 of this
year.
EOR the first II days of their
Il operation only one daily trip
was made by each train. On each
trip, however, from a dozen to so
prospective passengers had to be
disappointed and left behind.
On June 2 the service was dou-
bled with each train making
round trip daily. From Chicago to
st. Paul is 431 miles. 1t is an adj
ditional 10 miles to Minneapolis.
One train leaves Chicago at
a. m. Six and a half hours later
it is in the Twin Cities. At p. m.
it leaves Minneapolis for the re-
turn trip to Chicago. The other
train follows the same route, but
leaves Minneapolis at 8 in the
morning and starts back from Chi
cago at 4 in the afternoon.
Also this June, the New York,
New Haven & Hartford put into
operation a three-car Diesel-pow-

the Comet, it was built by the
Goodyear-zeppelin Corp. of Akron
and furnished with Diesel equip
ment by the Westinghouse Elec-

SCHOOL BUILDING

Crane Says D. c. Engineer

officials of the District Engineer De-

Regarding the AnacoStia school. on

completion to November, Mr.. Crane
remarked:

Gated that the work would be delayed.

been a long time since this occurred.

INFANT CARE ON

Great Amount of Sickness
Realized From July to
September
By a. EIIzABETH INGRAHAM

OE a. A<lAAf~AAbES41 ~ 1ANuAb1hAhkAAsA
Hot weather is hard enough on
adults. But 1t is real menace to
the lives of very young babies
and difficult time of year for all
small children. The greatest
amount of sickness and death
from intestinal diseases comes
from the middle of July through
September, and wise parents will
use every precaution in their pow
err to safeguard their little ones
during the next month or two.
Experience has taught us that
illness from these diseases is noe
necessary, and can be prevented in
most instances.
A little baby can't tell you what
is the matter with him, and often
he's very sick indeed almost be-
fore you know there's anything at
all the trouble. If that time ar
rives, even minutes are important
Don't wait before calling the doc
tor. And don't hesitate too long at
any time, If everything isn't nor

worth just as much weighed
against pound of cure as it ever
was, and there are a few simple
precautions that are especially
important in the summer.

young child are important--the
diet. air and sunshine, and cloth
ing.

on mothers milk if possible. The
best substitute is clean cows milk.
boiled from one to two minutes
and diluted to make a formula ac-
cording to the doctors orders.
OF course don't need to tell
you to have everything immacu-
lately clean around the baby, AMI
to protect him from flies. 1t isn't
wise to feed even little babies Oft
ener than once in three hours. but
babies crave water as much as we
do. So give the baby drink of
cool, not cold. boiled water often
between feelings.

Humor does become more deliber-

But many people do not realize
this and adopt ban.ering tone to-

because grown-ups don't know
how to take them, are really
afraid of them, and try to get into
their good graces by kidding or
other artificial methods.

can laugh.
Mr.. Smith sees small Herman

Hermy doesn't go and ask his

Smith was pretty serious, and the
small workman feels that some

Is soon forgotten, but for a long

No one knows, and all Billie will
