Perhaps If you will tell her when
your turn comes for her annual visi-
tation that you have arranged for
her to stay in a nice boarding house
near you where she can come to see
you every day, because you can't
make her comfortable in your home,
and the children are noisy and you
are not well, she will find that she
likes the excitement of being with
people and you can make the ar
rangement permanent.
/ am sorry that you have to be a
buffer between grandmother and the
children, but it will do the young
sters a lot of good to find out that
they have to consider somebody
else's pleasure and comfort before
their own.
DEAR MISS DIX: I am in love
with a girl, but I am not in any
position to ask her to marry me.
Have I right to tell her that love
her and ask her is she loves me?

Answer-Surely. 1t would relieve
your pent-up emotions and the girl
has a right to know how you feel
about her. If you don't speak, she
may think you are not serious In
your intentions. DOROTHY DIX.

cold water and boil very slowly for
two hours. Add, at that time, u
pound salt pork. Cook beef with
the pork for 2 hours longer. Add
whole onions, peeled, l head of
cabbage, cored and quartered and
tied in muslin, one or two medium
white turnips pared and quartered,
a few whole small carrots and
small potatoes, peeled. Cook until
vegetables and potatoes are done.
Remove muslin from cabbage. Serve
the meat in the center of a large
platter and arrange the vegetables
around it, pouring gravy over all.
The quantity of vegetables used
must be determined by the num-
ber of persons to be served. Beets
served with the boiled dinner should
be cooked separately and dressed
with little butter, salt and pepper.
Tying the cabbage in the muslin
prevents the vegetable from cook
ing away and the whole quarters
improve the appearance of the dish
tremendously.

Best for Mother.in.Law to

DEAR MISS DIX: am a woman
in my early 40s with three children
OF high school age. My mother-in-
law has no home of her own and
lives with each one of her three
sons part of the time. My children
have a great deal of company and
our home is small, and when
grandma stays with us they cannot
have their usual fun and it upsets
the household. I have told grandma
that I would give her one-third of
her expenses each month to have
her own little place, but she win not
agree to this arrangement. There
are many days when I feel Ill and
the discomfort of my children is
driving me mad. What shall we

The death in Spanish Morocco of the Duke of
Guise. head of the French Royalists and pretender
to the throne of France may change the course of
French history.
+ Little had been heard of the exiled pretender
since 1926 when the Duke Of Orleans died and the
Duke of Guise proclaimed himself head of the
Orleans Bourbon line But in the last few months
and particularly since the fall of the Third Republic
and establishment of the Petain government there
has been good deal of speculation with respect 10
the restoration of a monarchy Marshal Petain was
known to lean toward strong Rightst government
while Gen. Weygand his Minister of Defense, was
definitely friendly with the Royalsts.
1t will be recalled that in his first proclamation
after the establishment of the present authoritarian
regime Petain said it was his purpose to restore
the France of a century ago. France made up of
large number of departments (states unified under
strong central government. This proclamation
was hailed by Royalists everywhere who hoped if
they did not believe that postwar adjustments
would see the restoration of the monarchy with the
Duke of Guise-called by his supporters King Jean
III, becoming king in fact.
The Duke of Paris, only son of the pretender,
will probably succeed to his fathers preension and
keep alive the Royalis group which until recently
had been of little influence since the creation Of
the Third Republic But the hopes of the Royalists
doubtless have fallen as q result of the death of
their leader for the last is years.
1t is not believed in France, that the
government of Peain and Weygand will long survive
the Already the btterest criticism is heard Of
Pierre Laval who by general agreement is the power
behind the throne, and Htlers unofficial agent in
what remains of old France.

To the fair come the flowers, the vegetables, the
jars of home canned foods, the baked goods and
fancy work of summers fashoning And to the
fair too come the people of Southeast Alaska, in
vacation mood at the end of another successful
year of industry.
Manager Ralph Martin and his assistants have
made every effort more to make this fair bet

The fair opens this afternoon for three days and
nights. 1t is your fair. Well meet you there.

not leaked out to the public in
general. 1t is the fact that in
War Department arsenals labor
has surrendered its much treas
ured 40-hour- week, and has &C
cepted 48-hour-week.
This came about through the
suggestion of Henry L. Stimson
new Republican Secretary of War.
Stimson, genuinely worried over
the slow production of guns pow
der, and other munitions, called
in Sidney Hillman, labor member
of the, National Defense Commits
sion, and asked his advice regard
ing stepping up production in the
three chief Army arsenals.
Hillman went into the matter
carefully and agreed to increasing
hours to 48 a week, also the use
of three shifts per day. This meant
hiring 5000 extra skilled workmen,
which Hillman helped to secure.
The War Department is now ex-
tremely pleased, and there have
been no kicks from labor.
