Tommy,s Mother Learns
Something
TRELLA DICK

MRS. Green couldn't understand
why her four-year-old son, Tommy,
didn't ask to go over to Junior Dress
ler's any more. She pondered the mat
ter for a week, then took Tommy and
went calling at the Dresslers'.
Tommy was reluctant to 90. "Have
to do too much housework," he NUT
tered
Mrs. Green did not understand this
remark, but did not question him.
Junior ran down the walk to meet
them.
"See," remarked Mrs. Green to her
sulky son, Junior has missed you.
Now aren't you glad you came?"
Before Tommy could answer, Junior
shouted, "You can't play with any of
my toys, Tommy Green, cause you
sneaked away last time and didn't
help"
His mother had appeared on the
porch, and Mrs. Green, expecting her
to give Junior a severe reprimand for
his rudeness, was surprised when she
merely greeted them cordially, and
sent the boys off to look at Juniors
new bunny.
"We've missed Tommy" she said,
when they were seated. "He told
Junior he wouldn't come any more, but
| hoped he'd get over it."
whats it all about? ?" questioned
Mrs. Green.
about putting toys away, and
picking up the pieces when they used
the scissors, and tidying up in gen.
eral"
80, that explains remark he made
to me-" exclaimed Mrs. Green. "He
didn't want to come over, he said, be-
cause he had to do too much house
work. | didn't know what he meant"
'Of course you wouldn't" laughed
Mrs. Dressler. You probably don't
have any trouble with him. Your
house is always so spick- d-span, you
must have wonderful cooperation from
him. | guess | am not tactful enough
about the way | ask him to help tidy
up, when they've finished play Of
course l can't keep Junior feeling
right about putting things away, if his
little friends can scatter them and
then go away without helping. Is
Junior nice about helping when he's
over at your house,"
I've never asked him to help" Mrs.
Green replied, and then added, II don't
require Tommy to pick up his own
things, either"
Don't you?"
"No. Often he's tired after play
ing, or I'm in a hurry"
'How long does he stay tired?"
Mrs. Green looked surprised at the
abrupt question, and her hostess con-
tinued, Junior used to get tired
too, But he'd recover the minute had
things picked up. l saw l was de-
liberately helping him to build two
very bad habits, untidiness and de-
ceit. So | began requiring him to
leave everything in order after his
play. If he got tired insisted that
he lie down until he was rested and
then put his things away He doesn't
mention being tired any more"
Mrs. Green looked troubled. Il don't
like to think that | Tommy's own
mother, have been helping to teach
him bad habits" she said.
Mothers have to learn the same as
children do, don't they?" returned
Mrs. Dresslez.
And if a mother finds she's on the
wrong track, she should try another?"
Come and see my begonias," an
swered Mrs. Dressler, smiling.

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, ID. C. GLNS).-The
situation at the nations capital is so
contradictory that no one statement
gives the whole picture. In his open
ing message to Congress, President
Roosevelt said, in substance, that re-
lief measures were also basic defense
measures; and labor applauded heart
lily. And then the mixup began.
On the one hand, the Senate Com
mittee on Unemployment and Relief
urges that the waiting period of job
lessness be cut to single week, that
the payment of unemployment bene-
fits be increased. The Social Security
Board urges that more aged and chill
dren be covered by the Security Act,
and that old benefit payments begin
with 1910 instead of waiting two more
years. The President recommends this
policy to the Congress in strong
message.
On the other hand, the House has
cut the deficiency relief bill $780,
100000; and at the present writing,
it is anybody's guess whether the
',Siie1lC Will ICoCOIC DdIL VI dll CIc CuU,
leave it as it stands-or cut still deep
er.
X X X
None the less, a look back to six
years ago shows that the attitude Of
the Federal government toward un-
employment and relief has changed
almost beyond recognition. Then the
most Uncle Sam would do was to lend
money through the RFC to states and
cities to head off starvation. Unem-
ployment benefits, old age pensions,
work relief-none of these things were
even mentioned.
But labor cannot understand why
progress need stop or tumble; or
why, when absence of sound reason
for discomfort is a big element of ma
tional defense, the WPA relief should
be cut nearly 20 per cent.

Washington correspondents who
follow the Federal Trade Commission
investigation of the electric utilities
chuckled loud and long when the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) announced the other day that
on February IA, it would start hear
ing to determine whether the Associ-
ated Gas & Electric Co. had not filed
false statements. There were grave
reasons to believe that such was the
case, said the SEC. If they found the
AG&E guilty, said the Commission,
| 10 rx,ll &c. s,%, al,
from the exchanges.
Now, don't want to discourage the
SEC; but as an old residenter of
Washington, | would warn the SEC
that the Associated Gas and Electric
many times has been investigated be-
fore, and that none of its people are
in jail yet. An investigating body
summoned H. C. Hopson, head of the
ACRE; and asked him about some
deal. He answered that he could not
tell them; he was lawyer for the
AG&E, he said, and had to guard his
clients secrets! And he got away with
it.
However, the ETC found out some
thing. 1t found:
That the assets of the AG&E were
$6,466 1850 in 1922.
That the assets of the AG&E were
$632, 49,41746 in 1929.
That the investment Of Hospon and
his pals in this huge property was
$29S,31S.19.
How many mems wages could have
been paid with the profits of those
seven years?

 BOWLING BRIC-A-BRAC

After 8 lapse of approximately seven weeks, the editor of this col- umn has decided to wake up the bowlers by writing something about the bowling league in an effort to pep up the boys. The main trouble we have to find with the boys is their inability to start the games on time. Now boys won't you kindly get at the alleys before 8:l5 so that we can all start bowling promptly at 8:30.
 7, To-nite ends the second round and we find the G-Men, explained by Jo-Jo, still in possession of the coveted first place with 8 little margin to spare. Last week, the Scouts had a golden opportunity to overtake them, but they failed in the clutch although Carp had one of his good bowling mites. You can't bowl for the whole team, Carp and better luck next time.
 It has been quietly rumored how ever that Jo-Jo has been secretly advising Indian Chief Sciarra to say his prayers twice nightly in the hope that his bowling would i'm prove-and did 1t last week-a neat 315, for an ordinarily 280 score.
 We were sorry to see Tommy Ya- machine miss his first bowling ses- sion in two years, which we under stand was due to sickness in the family. We sincerely trust that she has recovered Tommy and also that you will be with us to-nite.

 CHAMP FRIDAY
ApOstOli Sure of Hand Bat- tie From Pittsburgh
 Irishnian

New York, Jan. 4(UP)-The 1889 punch parade opens in Madison Square Garden Friday night and two men who meet in the major event may rule two divisions before the year ends.
 The battle matches Billy Conn of Pittsburgh, . 2l year old Irish youth making his New York debut with Freddie Apostoli of San Francisco. "half-crowned" middleweight king.
 A little over two years ago Conn had to have his trousers patched so he could run down to Fairmont, w. Va, to make his first ring appear ance, for which he received 8. Fri- day he participates in 8 main event at the Garden, his first fight on the big time. Astute observers predict he'll be light middleweight champion by 1o40.
 ApostoN is recognized as middle weight champion by the New York commission while Solly Kreiger of New York holds the title insofar as the National Boxing association is concerned. These two probably will get together before June and settle the issue.
 Conn, tall brown-haired son of 8 Pittsburgh steamfitter, has won four times over former champions during his three years in the ring. He beat Teddy Yarosz twice, Babe Risko and Vince Dundee once and split in two fights with Krieger.
 A victory or even 8 fair showing by Conn will give the light heavy weight division a sorely needed shot in the arm, because good 175-pound battlerS are as scarce as Shakes peare first editions.
 Champion John Henry Lewis, who has grown out of his class, will try to wrest the heavyweight crown from Joe Louis on January 25. Lewis title has been vacated by the New York commission.
