Is of Cocroaches Rank High the Social Insect Register
Dorothy Dix Says
Drowning in Molasses No Pleasanter Just
Because It Is Sweet

EAR MISS DIX-What is one
to do with too good mother
in-law? I have one who is
- so good to me, 80 anxious to
help me and to save me from all work
and worry that she has taken entire
charge of my house. She doesn't leave
me thing to do, nor any initiative or
say-so in 1t. To all intents and pur-
poses it is hers and not mine. live
in a duplex apartment that has been
made from part Of her house so she
Is right there on the spot all the time
to cook my meals, wash my undies,
scrub my bath room, do all the things
that just simply adore doing myself
and never get to do because mother is
always beating me to 1t. When
protest she says: You must be tired.
Just sit down and take things easy and
let me do it" until sometimes feel as
II could scream, but can't say any
thing because know she is doing it
from the best of motives. / am not
unappreciative, but ! do want TO run
my house myself. and my mother-in-
law has entirely eliminated me from
being able to do anything my own
way. What about it? You can't poison
a household angel who makes up your
bed for you, much as you would like
to. HENRIETTE.
Answer-So far as you are con-
cerned am afraid there is nothing
for it except to endure your mother
in-law's meddlesomeness, which is
none the less hard to stand because it
is meant in kindness. Being smothered
to death in molasses is none the less
unpleasant and fatal because it is
sweet.
THE only remedy can suggest is
for you to induce your husband to
move to another city. where you will
be out of reach of your mOther-in-
laws efforts to live a happy life for
you. A good, long, expensive railroad
ticket has solved many delicate fam
lily problem. If this is impossible and
emigration to some distant spot Is
not feasible, go 10 some other part
Of the town to live, where you may
possess your bathtub and kitchen and
gas stove in peace.

Special Dish.

Chicken shortcake is eminently
satisfactory as late-at-night or
luncheon entree and may be managed
with very little actual chicken by sub
stituting sliced ripe olives. The sophis-
tication of this combination makes it
worthy Of quite important occasions.
Combine one cup Of diced chicken with
one cup Of sliced ripe olives. Prepare
q thickened sauce of two cups Of
chicken stock with four tablespoons Of
flour and three tablespoons of butter.
Season to taste with salt. Serve be-
tween layers and on top Of split hot

The Old Gardener Says:

Golden glow is a plant which
needs spraying frequently. The
stems become covered with red
lice, which ruin the plants. These
pests can be kept in subjection
fairly well If they are given heavy
doses of a nicotine preparation,
such as is sold in seed stores and
drug stores. This same material
will be needed from now on to
fight the lice, which collect on
the underside of nasturtium
plants, causing the leaves to turn
yellow. Often the pests are not
discovered until they have in
creased to thousands, because
they seldom show themselves,
keeping to the under part of the
leaves. An examination of the
foliage often brings a surprise.
It must be remembered that these
pests must be actually hit with
the spray to be killed.

she had been a poor girl whose hope
chest represented the work of years
and many sacrifices in its assembling.
She had crocheted the doilies and en-
broidered the monograms and into it
went a thousand hopes and dreams.
And she looked forward to the Joy of
picking out with her husband her
first home.
But when she returned from her
bridal tour she found that as a sur
prise her husbands mother and his
aunt, both of whom were rich and
dotted on him, had rented and fur
nished a gorgeous apartment for them
and stored its shelves with expensive
linens that made the contents of he<
own little hope chest look like some
thing for the kitchen. And the poor
little bride was sick with disappoint-
ment because she had been deprived
Of doing the thing she had looked for
ward to doing all of her life, and
nothing in the new home represented
her taste or desires or was really her
self. Yet, like you, she couldn't say
word because it had all been done
in love and kindness.
IT is strange thing that any wom-
an doesn't know enough about her
sex to realize that every woman wants
to select her own home and the furni-
ture and to run it according to her
own taste, and that any other woman
interferes with this at her peril. Why,
to get her own home is one of the
main things a girl marries for, and
she doesn't want even her own mother
to make a suggestion in it. Nor does
she want any other woman to take her
work out Of her hands, and any
mother-in-law or aunt or any other
female relative who thinks that she is
being good and kind to a bride by
doing her work for her or showing her
an easy way to do things has another
guess coming to her.

law who wants to be persona grata

Scientists completing studies at Chicago of the 1885 influenza out break at Point Barrow, Alaska, an nounced control of "the last and greatest uncontrolled menace" has been sighted.

 Both active and passive immuni- cations of animals have been shown to be possible" it was stated. 'These facts should offer profound encouragement of ultimate con trol."

Textile Men ClamOr For MuSkOx
 Wool From Alaska University

"PIease don't tell me where the muskox has it's habitat, and that l must shoot it,'
 The truth about the muskox-wool industry wid probably surprise inQuirers when Mrs Lydia Fohu- Hansen. who recently resigned her position as Assistant-Director of the Home Economics Extension Service, answers their letters. Among oth- CT facts. they will no doubt be as founded to discover that muskoX wool is gathered from bushes.
 The type of hand-spun. hand woven scarf that MT. Fohn-Hansen innocently showed to the Seattle reporter is the product of an eXper- iment carried on in the next few years by the U. s. Biological Sur vey and Mrs. Fohn-Hansen. First to advocate the introduction of a herd of muskoxen was MT L. Nick. Reed of the Alaska Game Commis- sion After Congress had voted the money. steps were taken in 1950 to bring thirty-four of the calves from Greenland to reestablish them in Alaska. Confined in a pasture ad facent to the campus, the herd has continued to thrive while studies have been made 10 determine -'e-." possible value.
 It was obvious that the wool would be intrinsically valuable as a textile fibre Under the coarse guard hairs is a wool fibre that is as long and strong and much finer than the best sheep wool and which compares fayorably with cashmere. In the spring the muskoXen shed this wool in large mats oompara- lively free from guard hairs. This wool which averages about two and one-half pounds to each ami nal is collected from the bushes.
 Wishing to demonstrate it's prae- tical value as a textile fibre for home consumption, Mrs. Fohn-Har- sen obtained some of the wool ana set herself to the task of learning to spin. The wool, having very long staple and no grease or odor, produced an exceedingly fine and even yarn with very little difficult ty. After the yarn was spun it was reeled into hanks and washed with mild soap and water, causing con- siderable shrinking and strengthen ing the thread.
 For weaving, the muskox yarn was used only in the weft ill or der to allow the introduction of col ored yarn in the warp and extend the precious muskox yarn as far as possible. With a fine blue warp iL proved q happy combination. The muskoX woo lis an indefinite brown gray color which combined with blue, gives a color very close to 5ue fox. It's color tones are also enhanced b y combination wit l. brown, orange, or tan.
 Various patterns are used to pro luce different textures. An English twill, goose eye, and clearinghouse in single and two-ply weft gay, scarfs of different weights, qualities not to be despised in a cold climate

When Mir. H. c. Fohn-G Hansen showed his muskox-wool muffler to a Seattle reporter recently he prob ably did not realize that he was starting a chain of publicity that would soon have textile manufact- urers in the East clamOring for shipments of the sofrest wool in the world" From an item in the Seattle Times Stroller's column the Associated Press gleaned and gar bled the facts that AJr Fahn-Han- sen "is head of the Uni ersity Home Economies Department" and that "the well-dressed Alaskan will wear" articles made of muskoX wool aif experimental demonstrations of the University of Alaska prove pop ular."
 The Associated Press item. prin- ted in the New York Times of Feb. 2. evidently arrested the attention of many Fasteners. On the first mail north came fifteen letters from importing houses, textile wholesal- CTS, dyers. manufacturers of dress ing gowns and scarfs, retailers, and private individuals, some request ing information concerning produc- tion schedules, some ordering sam pies. and one person even ordering outright "a good large Dne-ahout 17 6S inches-in plain canary yellow with fringed ends"
 Only one person. writing for a spinning and dyeing house, expres- sed real skepticism regarding the newspaper story. Ho wrote, Al though we are of the opinion that the enclosed clipping is nothing more than a newspaper story. we are writing to ask whether or not there is muskOx wool in quantities available for sale" One firm sent a terse one-line order, Kindly send me a sample skein of muskoX wool.
 An enterprising jobber, eager tc corner a brand-new market, wrote
 Tt is my belief that a consider able quantity of a quality article can be disposed of in the New York market. But if I am to act as your agent l must see samples, know what your production schedule is, what prices are. whether or not you are in a position to check accounts or under what credit arrangements We can work. To represent line like yours I would want and must have an exclusive sales contract. Send me complete details as soon as possible.
 "The Eastern seaboard needs a light soft wool for utilitarian daily and sports wear. If you have the item I have the market"
 Letters from private individuals were equally amusing. One optim- istic person ordered immediate ship ment of a sweater, If the price is not over five or six dollars" An other man ordered some yarn, eX plaining that when his daughter saw the news item she said, Dad, if you will get me some of this yarn, l will knit you a muffler.2 And one semi-skeptical young wom- an requested information but said,
