A Top-Flighter

81
The fact is that in these parts
Frank is considered one of the
really top flight figures in govern
ment, although he is not one of
President Roosevelt's inner circle.
His ideas are so challenging that in
spite of his calm presentation of
them he is frequently fitting with
people both outside and inside the
New Deal.
He wrote a look called Save
America First" which dealt broadly
with foreign trade policy as well as
domestic affairs. Scholarly review
ers spend columns of space arguing
with his ideas while scarcely paus-
ing for a paragraph of explanation
OF what was in the book. IT is that
way with Frank
But his IDEAS ON rail reform are
just now being pushed along In
Congress. He and those associated
with him in the idea argue that
bonds with prior claims and fixed
rates Of interest are things which
railroads should replace with COM
mon stock as fast as possible. When
a railroad gets in financial trouble,
it can be Immediately thrown into

beside her. so that when she
awakened she would not be afraid.
At the mission Aunt Phoebe
went about her work.
There was no boy now to help
her. for in the early morning she
had sent away the only boy who
had returned to seek news of the
Smileys. He had gone unwillingly
and had not returned. And
among the refugees she found no
help. When she looked over her
guests without passion now in the
midst OF disaster, she thought,
The best thing I can do is to
keep them all out of the way"
But they would not be kept out
of the way in either the huge
storeroom or the bedrooms. As
if they were aware that security
lay only in the presence of the old
woman, they kept coming and GO

Hogsett Egburry wanted aspirin
and Mrs. Simon something to
make her sleep.
She went about her work with
the revolver Harry Loder had
given her still strapped about her
waist over her apron. partly be-
cause she did not know what to do
with it and partly because it was
exciting to think that it might be
useful.
She had not much faith in the
necessity for it until late in the
afternoon when she saw coming
across the muddy fields the tall,
thin, black figures of three Bills.
They came straight toward the
house and in silence she watched
their approach as she might have
watched the approach of three
redskins across the prairies of her
childhood.
They had come down from the
hills to plumber and appeared as
tonished when they found the door
of a house they had supposed
empty barred by an old woman
with revolver - which Aunt
Phoebe took out of its holster as
they drew near. She could not
speak their language, but when
they made signs that they wanted
to come into the house and want

she can't get along with his
mother? It's just plain jealousy OF
two silly women--one old and one
young, but of the two. the older
woman Is sillier because she has
lived her life and wants to live
her sons life, too. She seldom
complains about her son-in-law,
because she is SNUG enough to
think, "Ah, my daughter has a
husband and home. / know she is
secure but of her son she thinks,
II know his wife isn't good
enough for him. She is extrava-
CANT, selfish and vain. She can't

Do not attempt to cook all dried
fruits the same way. Generally the
most satisfactory procedure in
cooking prunes is to wash them
carefully in hot water first, then
drop them into boiling water and
allow to stand an hour for them to
plump up.
Next, simmer the prunes in the
same water for half an hour, add

Always use the soaking water

For dried figs, start the cooking
in cold water and simmer 20 tc

"DO COME IN"

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
best form for writing invitations
to a very informal afternoon tea?
The exact circumstances are
these: We have found that many
people mean to go visiting but
they don't, and I believe if now
and again I send invitations for a
Sunday afternoon. that will be just
enough encouragement to make
such mean to" people actually do
something. / don't want the invi-
tations to suggest big, strained
party because that may keep some
people away too. but ! want TO
suggest in the wording, If it Is
possible, that this is just an init
mate collection of friends who
never seem to get together.
Answer: The ubiquitous visit
ing card invitation would be best.
On your double card you write a
personal message such as DO
come in this Sunday. for tea and
sign your name. Or, if you like
the folded visiting cards known to
t he stationers as ''informals.
these would give you plenty of
space in which to write a longer
and perhaps more persuasive mes
sage, such as Haven't seen you
for so long. Do try to come in
next Sunday afternoon"
Roundabout Thanks
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it display
ing sufficient appreciation on the
part of husband if his wife
writes thank you notes for gifts
sent to him
Answer: If presents for wife
and husband-and possibly for
very young children-were all sent
to them in the same box, the wife
would write thank you for all Of
them. But if present was sent
to the husband alone-on his birth
day. let's say-it would certainly
be necessary that he write his own
thank you note.

Answer: There is never any

sings or plays or gives perform
ance of any kind that would re-
uuire attention of the guests.
Usually there is music furnished

State College Has Capac-
ity Enrolment

To Marjorie Payne, of Vienna,
Wicomico County, goes the distinc-
ton of being the two hundred sew
entieth student to register at the
State Teachers College at Salisbury,
thus giving the college capacity
enrolment before September 20, the
date set by the college authorities
as the time after which no students
would be allowed to register for
full semester credit. The State Board
of Education has set 270 as the
maximum number to be admitted
for 1939-40.
More than one hundred of the
studens registered are young men,
thus enabling college authorities to
reach goal set up four years ago
when the college was reorganized
on the basis of four year curri-
clum leading to a B. S. degree. AT
that time but 26 men and 80 women
students, total of 106, were in at
tendance. The increase of more than
$50 per cent in enrolment is due
to the fact that all B. S. degree
graduates have been placed and to
the fact that all students enroll dur
| ing the first two years for academic
work, the satisfactory completion
of which enables them to transfer
| to other colleges and universities
with full junior standing. More than
SO students have already transfer
red. A number of such transfers
were graduated from the University
| of Maryland, Western Maryland
College, and Washington College in
June, 1899.
The registration of 1876 freshmen
representing practically every East
ern Shore High School, has enabled
college authorities to reach 1893
goal, the registering of 1876 fresh
men. The enrolment of freshmen
