Washington residents we're a
bit concerned last week when
the National Geographic Society
in Washington happily an
nounced the birth of 5000 mos
"uitoes. They had been harched
rom 400 dozen mosquito eggs
shipped to Washington from
Orlando, Fla.
Just about TIE time Wash
ingtonians started looking for
the f'v-swatter. there was a re-.
assuring P.S. to the announce
ment. The new born insects
we're said to be of the harm
less variety and they are to be
kept in confinement while sci
7ntists study their development
from cradle to final swat.

you give both cows to the gov

Washington is about to greet
a new year and a new Con-
gress. One will make its bow
with noise making, the Other
with speech making. And there
are a lot of people in Washing

either event. They will be burn

inner circle trying to iron out
a knotty problem. They n tine

Their problem concerns
spending. They are trying to

who pays the bill. John Q. Pub

Refuse
His Attentions

Why ask for advice and then
limit me in giving it to you?
You can put stop to this folly
by refusing to let the boy treat
You as a sweetheart in actions
and then talking about mo
seriousness. Evidently he is
career minded and that is why
he won't commit himself. But
after all he can only make you
his sweetheart in actions and
make love to you if you let him.
If it is mere friendship he
wants then that is all you
should grant him.
Il don't believe in forcing the
boy to admit his love and to
make him propose if he wants to
finish his studies. But I think
a girl should have more pride
than let him hang around in
sulting her with his mo serious
ness business" just for the sake
Of his lovemaking. I think you
take him back because you want
that sort of thing as much as
he does. So you meekly accept
the insults and his denial of his
love for you to hold on to him.
Where is YOUR courage? Where
Is your pride?

cleansing properties that her
variety will be of no actual use
in her household. If She is lay
ing in winters supply she has
nothing to which to turn for
the heavier type of cleaning to
which one often has to do. She
doesn't figure sizes of packages,

Continue

Although he says no serious

the contrary. Nothing really
wicked-please don't misunder-
stand. We have fought over
this many times. We have
even broken up over it but when
he comes back it is always the
same thing. He claims he is
very fond of me and wants to
continue the friendship.
But, Mr.. Antheil-this isn't
friendship! 1t isn't fair to me.
He has another year of college
and expects to win a scholar
ship for further study and feels
he is satisfied this way in not
being serious. But I can't keep
on this way. 1t is worrying me
too much. Please don't tell me
to quit him. I really don't want
to. he means so much to me.

in a flash whether 9 boxes OF
twelve ounces each for a dollar
is a better buy than five boxes
of one pound seven and a half

Gil figuring to find out what
she is paying per ounce before
she places her order. She asks
for quotations on similar brands
so that she can decide whether
one is cheaper than the other.
She knows they are nearly
enough alike to be used IN

You Both
Enjoy 1t

You can protest, Why does
he make love if he doesn't mean
business?" In most cases ne
makes love because he likes to
DO that and you let him.
Here is a case that battles a
young woman. 1 think the chap
loves her but-he doesn't want
to get married-not now.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: Is it pos
sible for a boy to make up his
mind not to fall in love and be
able to stick to that resolution,
especially if he is a young man
with a strong mind?
"Or is love something far be-
yond human control? Such a
boy as I describe is the one l
have fallen in love with after
having gone with him for three
years.

just that. 1t seems indefinable,
but every mother, away down
in her heart, knows what
mean. All that is necessary is
to apply it.
I referred to diet in connec-
tion with the raising of chill
dren. It. is strange but I have
found from time to time that
people have the idea that the
quints eat some wonderful dish
that keeps them alive. I have
had mothers say: But, doc
tor, couldn't afford to feed my
child what the quints get"
Their Diet
Is Simpler
This is rather amusing, for I
doubt very much if the quintS'
diet isn't a great deal simpler,
much freer from fad and fril,
than 90 per cent of the young
SterS in the whole country. Our
great care has been to see that
diet has been kept simple, not to
make it complex and difficult to
understand.
No; what these children thrive
on could and should grace the
table of every home in the land.
Even those who are in meager
circumstances will find that, in
general, their children will be
able to eat the same things as
the quintS.

Oregon Voters Stand
Threatens Federal
Security Credit
State Officials Called
To Washington for
Hearing Dec. l9

Oregon's new definition of labor
disputes, as approved by it's voters
last November 8, was threatening
continuance of Federal rebate of the
States unemployment compensation
tax today as the Social Security
Board called Oregon officials to a
hearing on the question here on De-
cember 10.
The Social Security Act provides
that States should receive credit for
unemployment compensation taxes
collected from their employers as
long as their compensation laws meet
certain requirements of the Federal
agency. One of the qualifications
which State laws must meet in order
to be certified is that unemployment
benefits must not be denied any 9TH
erWise eligible employe for refusing to
work under conditions of a labor
dispute"
In the new Oregon definition, a
labor dispute, is narrowed materially
to exclude from such category jur-
isdictional strikes, sympathetic
strikes or other difficulties not peri
tanning directly to wages, hours and
working conditions of employees act
ually affected.
In calling the hearing, Oscar M.
Powell, executive director of the
Social Security Board, announced
that the question has been under
discussion among State and Federal
officials since adoption of the initia-
tive. Organized labor has protested
against Federal approval of the
State law under the new definition.
The Oregon unemployment COM
pensation law was enacted on No
vember Is, 1885, covering workers
IN 225,000 jobs. Benefit payments
began in January of this year with
a total of s5,542, ,647 thus far paid to
1928 claimants.
