 Postmaster General James A. Farley announced during the past week that the special series of postage stamps honoring army and navy heroes would be offered to the public sometime after July l, 1886. He stated that the new issue would be staggered, just as in the case of the ten national park issues. Suggestions are pour ing into Farley as to what men should be named for the honor. At the present time 1t seems rea- sonable to assume that Barry and John Paul Jones will be named as the naval heroes. For the army, General Robert E. Lee and Gen. eral U. s. Grant have already been named by the Postmaster Gener- al. Generals Sherman and "Stonewall" Jackson have also been designated as being repre- sentative of army heroes of the past.

Hurry! Before it's too Iate. According to the latest information from dear old Seymour the Nau- gatuck, it's most famous landmark, the old wooden covered bridge is about to go the way of all fesh Wednesday wOrmen actually started the job of dis mantng the structure, which dates back to 1857. It is the last of the "mOhicans" in the NaugatuCk Valley. As matter of fact there can't be more than three four of this genus of bridge in existence all through the state now If you wanted picture before it crumbed in the dust and the rivers murky flood, it may be too late to get it tomorrow, but lOok.see may reward you.

Moran, meanwhile, was trying to see Roosevelt and was told Roose- welt wanted to see him. But, thanks to White House Secretary Marvin Mcintyre, Moran didn't get to the president while the fight was hot. Brann got in again and again.
 Comedian was fired. Brann ap- parentIy was given practically everything in sight. Rumors as to details of the arrangement" are sensational. Moran announced his retirement.

PuImOtOr Again Applied to
 PassamaquOddy Project ,. !.
 It May Not Click as a Power
 Project but There Are
 Votes to Consider .. Gov
 ernOr Brann of Maine Is
 Emphatic in His Demands.
 Washington, May 0-The PaSsa- maquoddy fiasco has gone beyond the screwy stage and into the gro- teSque.
 Governor Louis J. Brann of Maine has been in Washington lately and says he will stay around until he is promised that work on that great visionary tlde-harnessing power project will be resumed. The terms on which 1t would proceed, 1t is said, would mean Q New Deal fiip-fop and salaam to the pow CT trust"
 Recently the army engineers working on the project, who nave gone ahead just as if Congress more money on 1t, decided to build . Diesel plant at the site. This would produce power dur ing the ninc-hour daily slack tide period when the tides wouldn't produce 1t.
 This plant would be known as a standby, but it would develop as much power in an hour as would be produced in the other IS hours of the day and 1t would cost only $3,- 100000, as compared with the $36,- 100000 estimated for the cost of the whole project.
 You have Q perfect right to ask why the government doesn't simply build a Diesel plant-or a couple of then1--and forget all about har- messing tides. But the engineering aspect of the Quoddy mess is no. where near as smelly as the politi- cal aspect.

Show Place is Attributable


 Arthurdale, Mrs. Roosevelt's pet project, is the show place, the most expensive and the most criticized, attacked for mistakes made there and defended as an experimental laboratory which immensely in- provese the lot of 1e5 families.
 What sells most people on Ar- thurdale is Q preliminary trip to Scott's Run, where the unemployed miners and their families came from, and comparison of it's dilap- dated shacks with the present standards of the families selected for resettlement---the complete com munity center, the neat houses on five-acre plots, facilities for adult education. Also, Arthurdale is now assured of vacuum cleaner assem- bly, plant which will employ 50 to 60 people part time, the first in- dustrial development on home stead project.
 More of a problem is Red House, which Senator Rush Holt of West Virginia wants investigat- ed, charging 1t has poor land and badly constructed houses. Red House can't expand, its 153 fani- lies being stuck between moun- tains and Q river, but 1t is strug- gling along with the aid of a new cooperative dairy plant.

 The original Quoddy conception of Colonel Dexter Cooper called for collaboration between the United States and Canada on a $50, ,000,. [. 900 project which could have sup- piled great gobs of cheap power.
 Canada wasn't interested. Coo- per reduced his plan to a $60,000,- 900 scheme, which would leave the way open for Canadian opera ton later, with water to be pumped to take care of the r1ine-hour slack tide period.
 The politicians realized that was . lot of money and cut the sum to $38,0O0,00O, which was all right except experts now say the final project wouldn't prO- duce en0ugh--0r cheap enough power to be worth anywhere near It's salt.
 The Diesel plant was finally proposed when engineers found the basin into which they had ln-
 tended to pump water had .
 sandy bottom and wouldn't hold 1t.
 No official group of engineer ever approved the Quoddy proJec after 1t had been whittled down The chief factor behind White House approval appears to have been the romantic imagination oi President Roosevelt, to whom the thrilling notion og harnessing the ocean has 6 great appeal.
 Close behind him was the late Secretary Louis Howe, who always stressed the importance of achiev- ing democratic victory in Maine in her September, lo36, elections. Congress Baked
 After about $5,0oo,0O0 had been spent, Congress refused to appro- priate another $00o0,00o requested by Roosevelt, to carry on the work in the next fiscal year.
 The administration regarded Quoddy and Branns as its two big Vote-getters in Maine. More and more 1t has come to lean solely on Brann, but If Quoddy is resumed this year 1t will be because oi Brann's insistence.
 Power interests have sought elimination of Congressman Ed ward c. Moran of Maine since his activity last year for the hold ing company death sentence"
 Weeks ago Bran came to Wash ingt0n seeking discharge of State NEG Director James Comedian, M0ran's right-hand man. who had refused to back Brann up by assuming federal responsibility for Maine ERA scandals which led to indictments.
 Brann, the story goes, told Jim Farley that he needed power .com- pany support in his race for the senate and Farley instructed NEG Chairman Lyle Alverson that Con- nellan should be fired. Connellan was regarded as one of NEC's best men; Alvefson and other officials baked.

Many Projects Started
 There were 2o22 families living on subsistence homesteads at last &C., count. Construction had started on 27 of the projects, out of 86 on the program, when Resettlement took over the old Division of Subsistence Homesteads from the Interior De- partment. Resettlement has ap- proved seven more, is considering @ few others, but will ditch nearly all the rest. Of the 8 active projects, 10 are completed.

 Looking to the Future
 q don't know" Jim argued. Kids can be cruel. A new young stcr has to prove his worth. But 1t might be food for our children. They can't be kept wrapped up in cotton all their lives"
 Well, I'm going to make life easy for them as long as can," the adoring mother answered. After that"
 You and I deserve a break, too" Jim answered. Jack might be will- ing to sacrifice his gang for the sake of a room of his own and Ruth's been wanting to study piano, but there isn't 8 place to park one in this house. Think 1t oycr."
 The Morgans moved. They moved because Mary Morgan did think 1t over. She asked Jack about the room.
 "Golly, all for mc?" he asked. And can l have pennants on the walls and 6 desk and my own books and kids up there and --" She spoke to Ruth about the piano
 "Ill practice every hour I'm not in school" the small girl answered solemnly.
 Must Learn Adaptability
 So the family went away. The new children, united in 6 solid front against any intruders to their neighborhood, were little difficult at first. But the baby didn't notice: Ruth had her music, and Jack was 50 entranced with his room that his general well-being won over the gang.
 Jim had been right. Children cannot be protected against the dis comforts of life forever. They must win their own way, sooner or later. If they can be taught to do 50 while the wise and guiding hand of a parent is helping them, they will acquire strength and ease for the task with far more grace.
 If an individual outlook Is right, sooner or later hostility will give way. It is better to let children learn this while older people are near to give them comfort than to let them face an alien world alone.
 And then, too--parents have rights. Furthermore, children have some additional ones, not included in the facing of society. The den and the music lessons 10 rinstance. Copyright, 1036, NEA Service Incl

bacco or nicotine from the system The answer to that is simple enough; 1t takes only a few days. But the repair of organic damage from months or years Of excessive indulgence takes a good deal long CT, and that is why 1t is essential to stop smoking for months or years in order to recover from tobaccosis. Tobaccosis is disease resulting from prolonged poisoning.
 High blood pressure and artcrios- clcrosis arc, in the opinion of many physicians, common signs of tobac- coisin. The blood pressure may re- sumc it's normal bounds some months after the poisoning has been stopped; but when your ar- tcries are hardened, well, they arc not 50 likely to become Solf and elastic again. You can't have your youth and waste 1t too.
 Thrombo angiitis ob iteranS, Buerger's disease, which in some cases terminates in gangrene and amputation of a foot, ts a manifes- tation of advanced tobaccosis. Here toforc this affliction has occurred almost exclusively in young men who smoked too much. It won't be lcng now, fear, before the fast liv- ing women begin to come up for amputation. The girls are certainly headed that way.
 Have Few Rolls
 am still at loss to understand precisely how person sixty years old turns q somersault, which you suggest (Mrs. E. P)
 Answer--It is quite simple. Send q stamped addressed envelope. I'll mail you an illustrated Invitation to the Somersaultauqua. Soon you'll be rollin' 'em all around the place and having your friends rolin' 'Gm too. For poor circulation, in- tcstinal stasis, biliousness, insom- nia, the blues, galloW complexion, cold feet, liver spots or what have you.
 Wheat and Diabetes
 Is whole wheat bread or gluten bread best for a diabetic? .. (C. $. G.
 Answer-One is as good as the other. Send btamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for mono graphs Wheat to Eat" and "Dia- betes."
 Wholesale Extraction
 Can harm result from having nine teeth extracted at the same time? am 49 years old. Should l take gas? .. (6. F. E)
 Answer--Depends on your gem eral condition. Often 1t Is wiser to have two or three extracted at I sitting, with intervals of a week or two.
 Pellagra
 What would you suggest as good diet for pellagra. know 1t is prO- tcin but please tell me what con- tains the most protein :. '. lMrs. D. B. L.)
 Answer-It is not protein that matters, but rather the amount of yitamins, particularly vitamin c, in the diet. The diet should include liberal amounts of fresh milk, and fresh vegetables daily, lean meat, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs, dried beans. peas, peanuts, tomatoes, to- mato juice, perhaps little dried brewers yeast daily.

 Double stock which she also likes for a house decoration will last longer if after it is cut 10 the right length, you smash the ends with a hammer and slit them up two or three inches.

 Spring recondItioning for new permanents, believe it or not, in- cludes an eggnog shampoo. And when I say egg nog, mean just that. This shampoo starts like any other, with brushing the hair, wet ting 1t with warm water and soap ing 1t thoroughly.
 Next the soap is rinsed out and the eggnog put on. To make this eggnog several eggs are beaten Up with a quantity of rum. This is put on the hair and worked into 1t with a small nail brush. Fol- lows a light massage while the egg nog is completely saturating the hair.
 Rinsing takes little longer than usual but there's gloss to your hair afterwards that repays you. The hair is more manageable too.
 Another new shampoo, the dry brush, is excellent for those who, don't want to wash the hair oftcns or who may have colds or be con- valescent and not wish to risk wet shampoo The scalp is divid- ed into sections and each section is pointed with @ quick-dryings substance that at the stroke of. the brush is removed, carrying with 1t dirt and grime. {.
 The brushing you get with this@ shampoo, brush held so that the. hair is pulled Up from the scalp. and out from the head, is . large. part of the benefit. Tn other words, 1t is scalp treatment as :, well as shampoo.
 Of course, shampoos cannot make your permanent right if it. was wrong to begin with. You, must go to 8 reliable place and you must be sure that your hair is. cut right. That is, 1t must be cut 50 that the curls eff you want, curls) will be of the right length, breadth and thickness.
 The new term in hairdressers' circles is custom permanent --thatg means a permanent that fits you. and you only, just as your custom q made dress does.
 NEXT: Complexion.
