found to be Of the same mutritive value
as whole milk. except in fat. Although
the food value is not as high, it is
rich in Vitamin G., calcium and phos-
pEorus.
The Government has been trying to
push the consumption Of dry skim mi TX,
usually wasted, and to put it within
reach Of needy families. Tt is packed
in a 8lassine-1ined paper bag, as it
must be kept dry; otherwise it cakes
and is difficult to use.
One pound Of dry skim milk is equal
in food value to 4 IL quarts of fresh
skim milk. Bought at Is cents a pound,
it would provide, when mixed, fluid

Dress With Jacket-BlOuse.
Exactly the style you want for

attractive. with its puff sleeves,
fitted waistline and saucy little
peplum. 1t can be worn with your
spring suit skirt, too. Make it up
in flat crepe for immediate wear

A very graceful dress with slen-

smooth shoulders, the cape
sleeves, always fiattering to plump
arms, and the skirt that's narrow
round the hips and slightly wide
at the hem. Gathers beneath the
raglan shoulders make the blouse
soft and becoming. In georgette,
flat crepe or polka dot silk, this
will be your spring favorite. Lat

REPRESENTATIVE HENRY B. STEAGALL (D),
~ Aabama steamed up the proposed $8,OO0,-
100000 system of national superhighways, introduces
q highway bill which in particular fails to steam
pIontu Ioho up. Mr.. Steagall wants to finance the
project via subsidiary of the Recon-
FeW HeSHItS structon Finance Corporation (RFC),
which sounds all right BUT he wants it by board
of five directors, each drawing $4,000 year.
That idea is practical only from practical politi
clans point of view would give five deserving poll
ticians $4,000 jobs Otherwise, it is impractical and
would slow down the project the old principle that
too many cooks spoil the broth.
You have illustration of that in New York. in
the State Liquor Authority, composed of a $4,000
chairman and four $500 commissioners; all of them
high-mnded, and the five of them together doing a
job worth about 80 cents
More striking still the IVA with its board of three
high-minded directors who always in the papers
with honest differences of opinion that keep IVA from
going ahead as fast as it might under one man.
To run the national super-highway job we need one
welpaid chief executive officer just as we built the

charge and refusing to halter him with bunch of

I challenge any admiral to testify that
HUn1Or That Japan could $4,000 troops
1,t U shores know enough about war to say
A0'' '0 that such an army would not last 80 days.
It is not humorous Jokes about the safety to American
men, women children property and territorial integrity
are not jokes.
The object of the naval bill is to insure us against the
landing of any hostile army Shores regardless OF
how soon we could wipe out such army. Ham Fish
NAV abide the notion of armed invasion of the United
States but the rest of Us cannot do so.
What we want is Navy that will have good chance
to settle any armed disputes with Japan on the waera
long way out on the water and long way from our land
Ham Fish must know, if he has been reading the
papers lately CD that have not the remotest desire
to attack Japan but (2) that the japanese would like
to attack u.s. and will do when they feel that our Navy
il weak enough to make such attack good gamble.
Lawmakers who quibbIe spending the money
necessary to keep Japan at its distance are playing with
the safety and freedom of ourselves our children and

Probably no finer proof of love was ever given

If it had been his desire to write '1ast line" which

he could not have done it better.
That was not his thought, of course. He was not
thinking of last lines of columns. He was saying
a dying mans farewell to his mate Not words in

cation of lover.
But it was beautiful '1ast line"
1t explains how Mcintyre could write about the
simple and obvious things of life, and make them i'm
portant.

clean was the inexhaustble fountain from which
preston came of sentiments and emotions of which
all have understanding but of which few can speak.

if he didn't do it, someone else
would. Saying he needed it

perhaps, at his careful clever

no one would ever suspect.
