A young women who is going to be
married asks If I will give her
some suggestions about how to be a
good daughter-in-law. Well, OF
course, being a good daughter-in-
law requires a bit of doing, as the
English say, because it calls for all
major and minor virtures, the self
abnegation of a saint and di-
plomacy slick enough to run the
League of Nations without friction.
And, alas, youth seldom possesses
these qualifications. If a woman
could wait to be a daughter in law
until she is go or 10 years old and
had had lot of experience in meet
ing difficult situations and gained q
lot of wisdom about managing
people she would be able to cope
with the daughter-in-law propo-
sition. But. unfortunately, 1t Is
mainly undertaken by ignorant little
f1appers, so it is no wonder that they
so often bungle the job. Neverthe-
less. the relationship between a
young wife and her husband s
mother can be made a crown OF
Joy instead of pain in the neck,
and perhaps the following tips may
help some bride to win her mother
in-law'S affections.
Play safe. Get off to a good start.
Don't go to live with your mother
in-law if you can possibly help it.
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder of our mother-in-laws, and
the more we live apart the better
We get along with them.
Don't go into your husbands fam
lily with a chip on your shoulder.
Don't regard your mother-in-law as
your hereditary foe whom you are
bound to hate at sight and whose
every word and act you view with
suspicion. Show her affection, If
you will be even human to her, she
will be ready to kiss your feet in
sheer gratitude.
Don't try to separate your husband
from his mother. Don't be jealous
OF his affection for her. Don't
f1aunt his love for you in her face.
Don't act as If everytime he went
to see her he was being unfaithful
to you. Don't get peeved everytime
he has a private conversation with
her or gives her a few dollars or
shows her any attention. There is
nothing for which man is so CRATE

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have room in our basement
which I would like to fix up for
my 10-year-old daughter as a play
room or clubroom. This room is dry
and comfortable, but dark. as both
the windows are recessed below
ground and bring in only reflected
light. What can do to make it
lighter and how would you suggest
furnishing it for group Of girls
who like to sew and work during
club meetings?
MRS. Pm.
AnsWer-Paint the walls white,
light yellow, pale pink or peach.
Use the new Venetian blinds with
the shiny metal Stats, for their re-
f1ecting surface is so much more
brilliant. You will find that tilted,
to bring in light from the sky, they
will illuminate the whole room. Use
light or painted furniture and wash
able slip covers. I suggest ging-
ham or plaids with ric-rac trim
ming, as they are tubbable. A large
table, with the legs cut off so that
it is a workable height for the To-
year-olds, two benches for either
side of it and several extra chairs
will be useful. Open shelves for
their work projects and equipment,
a bank of drawers and some closed
cabinet space would care for storage
difficulties. A couch and a reading
lamp might be useful. Rugs, if any,
should be sturdy and washable.
Keep all wall decorations and large
surfaces light in color and you will
get increased light in the whole
room.
Questions on household fur
nishings, interior decorations,
etc., should be addressed to Mar

NASSAU, Bahama Islands, Nov 5.-R. Tapstock and Roy Witti- combe, English sailors, were found more dead than alive yesterday, on a small island of the Bahama group. The men were the survivors of eight sailors of the British mer- chantman Anglo Saxon, that more than two months ago had beer sunk by a German raider off the Azores. The eight just managed tc get away in 16-foot boat.
 For TO days, with scanty fooc and water, the tiny craft drifteo toward the west. One of the sea- men, driven made, cut his throat Two jumped overheard. Two more died from gun wounds and malnu- triton. Once, a flying fish was caught. Another time they got a gar fish. For the last eight days there was not a drop of water. The two men who were saved were burnt so deeply by the tropic sun, that they were hardly recognized as white men.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The report is current here that Neville Chamber lain, the former British Prime Min- ister, and Mrs. Chamberlain have left or are about to leave for Southern California.
 The story says they would cross the Atlantic by air and once across, proceed west by train. MT. Cham berlain's physician says a complete change, rest, and plenty of sun shine are needed, if the former Premier is to be restored to health. He had become ill, after relinquish- ing the cares of office, and an op- eration became necessary. All this has necessitated the change in or der to renew his strength. This, 1t is considered, will be hastened by the change that the trip to America would bring about.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Finley Peter Dunne's MT. Dooley was speaking over his bar to Hennes- sey. Soon said MT. Dooley, the election will be over and after that Dooley goes back to his beer pumps and Hennessey goes back to his slag pile and the old flag'll continue to wave over us all"
 Apparently MT Dunne knew his history as well as he knew his Irish Americans. There have been 37 national elections. With the ex- ception of the first none has been unanimous. Invariably ele It o n campaigns have been marked with bitterness. Some have been muddy. Some even have been bloody. Ripe eggs and over-ripe vegetables have been thrown-many times.
 But only twice in the history of the United States have election battles resulted in post election hangovers and from one of these the sick nation emerged healthier and happier than it had been for decades

FORMER LEADING NATI0N'S BANKER
 DIES, NEW YORK
C. ". M(Ganah Who Rose CIerkship 10 Chief Fi-
 naneier, Passes

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Gates White McGarrah, 72, one of the nations leading bankers for more than 30 years died here today after a brief illness.
 McGarrah rose rapidly from a clerksl1ip in a small bank to the presidency of large New York institution when he was only 28 years old. and as the climax of his career in 1930 he became head Of the Bank for International Settle ments at Basel. Switzerland.
 Before he went abroad in 1930 he had been Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 1927 and previously Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Chase Ma tional Bank.
 Heads World Bank
 As President and Chairman of the board of the world bank at Basel, McGarrah was a dominant figure in the tangled financial affairs of Europe. Always reluctant to discuss these matters publicly. he worked behind the scenes in the chancellor ies and central banks.
 His service with the International Bank coincided with the severe economic depression of the 1930's and he strove valiantly to enable European and South American countries to maintain gold standard currencies
 MGarrah retired from the world bank early in 1883, and returned to New York.
 Born at Monroe, N Y., July 20 1863 he received a public school education and started his banking career as clerk in the Goshen, N r., National Bank When he was 20 McGarrah went to New York where he spent most of his business life.
 Summarizes Life
 He was married October 6, 1886 to Elizabeth Wallace of Goshen. They had two daughters, Mrs. J Curry Hatson, Jr., and Mrs. Herman H. Helms. both of New York.
 McGarrah once summarized his life as hard work, lots of it, and good friends" But even with his intimate acouaintances, he rarely spoke of himself.
 Arriving in New York in 1883. he went to work in a teller's cage of the Produce Exchange National Bank. Four years later he was named cashier of the Leather Manu- lecturers National Bank.
 Another four years and when he was 28 years old, McGarrah was elected president of the institution. He remained at head of this bank and others with which it was sub sequently merged until 1927.

WASHINGTON-Four years ago the authors of the Washington Mer- ry-Go-R Round, taking a fling at the national quadrennial indoor sport, predicted that Franklin Roosevelt would carry 45 States. He won 46.
 This years historic election is far closer than that of 1886. In every key State there is considerable bloc of doubtful votes which may determine the outcome and no one can do more than guess where these votes will go.
 The authors of this column make no claim to prescience or infallibil- ity but on the basis of a personal survey and other first hand sources it looks as if Roosevelt will be elected for a third term.
 The election will be extremely close in so many States that almost anything can happen, but Roosevelt has the advantage of big bloc of Southern and Western States which probably will give him a sure lead of POS electoral votes. This is a handicap which will be hard for Willkie to overcome.
 Since 266 electoral votes are neces- sary to win, Roosevelt needs to pick up only 58 additional votes from doubtful States to reelect him for

 The lineup of States which seem for Roosevelt and States sure to go for Willkie are as follows
 Sure for Roosevelt-Alamaba. Ari- zona. Arkansas, California, Della ware. Florida, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana. Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas.

However, if Willkie is run niy.s close to Roosevelt in such Democratic strongholds as New York City and Chicago Cook County, COP. chances of corral ing New York aId Illinois will be very favorable. And Republican prospects for national triumph will be excellent.
 F.D.R. Took Both in '36
 If Roosevelt's pluralities. on the other hand, are piling up at 3-to-l ratio i'll New York City and at bet ter than l2-to-7 in Chicago as they did in 1886, then indications of his reelection will be impress Sive.
 Four years ago New York City gave the President 2049,000 votes and Landon, 665 65.000-a Democratic plurality of more than 100000. Outside New York City the state gave Landon 1,5l4,000 votes and Roosevelt l,251 900, a Republican lead of 263000
 Scmc statisticians believe Willkie will have a fairly good chance to take New York state if he holds Roosevelt to a 3-to-2 lead in the nations largest city. That's assum- ing of course that the Republicans will amass a maximum plurality upstate. Hoover won the state in

 Vote statisticians and non-par- tisan political observers are in general agreement as to such ma for indicators as the states of New York and Illinois. These two, par ticularly New York, may foretell the story.

 Virtually all the experts figure that if Roosevelt carries both those states, he's in. Many believe he can lose Illinois, along with a flock of other large northern states, and still win if New York is in the Democratic bag.
