Farm Basement
May Serve AS
Recreation Room
Winter Play Place Needed
For Youngsters, Says Home
Management Specialist

Farm families generally have to
use their Easements, OF part of
them, for food storage, and some
times for extra sleeping quarters.
City families often have basement
game rooms, but in the country
a play place in the cellar is more
rare.
However, Miss Jessie Hinton,
home management specialist for
the extension service, reminds us
that rural children need an indoor
play room in bad weather. Dur
ing the winter months it may be
a good idea to turn floor space in
the basement over to them. Roller
skates, velocipedes, electric trains
and their tracks, building blocks,
and other large and noisy play
things can be thus kept from
other parts of the house. There
will be less picking up and clean
ing after the children.
This use of the basement de-
ponds largely on whether it is
dry. It should also be clean, rea-
sonably warm, easily lighted, and
free from sharp corners, project
ing nails, or other hazards. Po-
tatoes, apples, and ether stored
fruits and vegetables require fair
ly high humidity and a tempera-
ture lower than is comfortable in
a recreation room. This can be
obtained by closing off a seperate
storeroom with a ventilator to
the outside air. If there is no
way of heating the playroom
above this necessary storage tenn
perature, children may wear extra
sweaters or playsuits.
If there is the slightest damp
ness or clamminess, do not use
the basement for a recreation
room until the trouble is cor
rected, says Miss Hinton. In a
house already built, this may re-
quire drain tiles placed in a
trench around the house, and a
plaster or waterproof coat APP
piled to the cellar walls. For
further details on how to. make
cellars dry write to Miss Hinton,
in care of the extension service
at College Park.

Insect Common In
Homes Is Pesky But
Causes No Damage

Don't be unduly alarmed if you
find tiny, grayish white insects re-
sembling lice crawling over furni-
ture, walls, clothing, beds, and
other parts Of the house, says DR..
Ernest N. Cory, State Entomolo-
gist. These insects are psocids
pronounced sauce-ids). Entomolo-
gists say that though they are an
noying they do no harm. They
formerly were called "booklice" be-
cause they often appeared in old
books stored in attics, but scien-
lists have never found that they
injured books or anything else, or
carried any disease. Real damage
to books, papers and fabrics is
probably due to silver fish and
cockroaches. Psocids are not true
lice and do not bite human beings.
Their food seems to consist chiefly
of microscopic molds.
Dampness acco mpanied by
warmth = long spells of hot,
humid weather - may bring
psosids, too. They are often found
in new buildings that have not had
time to become thoroughly season.
ed. In the average home, psocids
are apt to be most abundant near
or on damp vegetable products like
straw mattresses, vegetable fiber
rugs or furniture, wallpaper and
pastry supplies. Good housekeep-
ers wish to get rid of these pests
even though they do no real dam
age, Several applications of
sprays, powders and fumigants
are usually necessary, because
psocids find their way indoors after
one lot has been eradicated.
For details on methods of con-
troll write to DR.. E. N. Cory, in
care of the University of Mary
land Extension Service, College
Park.

AN OPEN LETTER
To All Drivers
Dear Driver:

Dear Driver:
Today my daughter, who is seven
years old, started to school as
usual. She wore a dark blue dress
with white collar. She had on
black shoes and wore blue gloves.
Her cocker spaniel, whose name is
"Scoot", sat on the front porch and
wined his canine belief in the folly
of education as She waved "good-
bye" and started off to the halls
of learning.
Tonight we talked about school.
She told me about the girl who sits
in front of her - the girl with the
yellow curls = and the boy across
the aisle who makes funny faces.
She told me about her teacher who
has eyes in the back Of her head
and about the trees in the school
yard - and about the big girl who
does not believe in Santa Claus.
We talked about lot of things
tremendously vital, unimportant
things - and then we studied
spelling, reading and arithmetic
and then to bed. She's back there
now - in the nursery sound
asleep - with princess Elizabeth"
CHATS a dolly cuddled in her arm.
You guys wouldn't hurt her, would
you? You see I'm her daddy.
When her doll is broken or her
finger is cut - can fix it - but
when she starts to school - when
she walks across a street - then
she is in your hands.
She is a nice kid - she can run
like a deer and darts about like
chipmunk. She likes to ride
horses and swim and hike with me
on Sunday afternoons. But l
can't be with her all the time =
/ have to work to pay for her
clothes and her education. So
please help me look out for her!
Please drive carefully please
drive slowly past schools and in
tersections - and pleaselremember
that children run out from behind
parked carsl
Please don't run over my little
grit
Her Dad

When seeking an investment
which will give a fair return on
money invested, the value of legal
reserve life insurance is reflected
in it's stability rather than in an
unusually high interest rate.
Dependable solvency is found
where investment portfolios con-
tain a variety of items-industrial
bonds carefully distributed over the
econ,mic enterprises of the coun-
try, bonds of national, state and
local government units spread ter
ritorially, and holdings diversified
by number, date of maturity and
clientele. Nowhere is such solvency
found in greater degree than in
legal reserve life insurance COM
panies.
AS for the return to the individ-
ual policyholder, the answer is
relative. A young man # 80 pays
an annual premium of $22.S5 for
$1,000 of protection on the ordinary
life plan. Should he die in the
first year thereafter his estate is
appreciated by several hundred
per cent, or if he lives and chooses
to use dividends to make the con-
tract "paid-up", at his death he
will have paid only 611s cents for
each dollar the insurance Company
pays his widow. With the life in
surance money tree, a return of a
minimum crop of dollars is guar
anteed.

The Question Of
Attending School
With A Cold

A major problem in school at
tendance results from the common
cold, the most prevalent of all
human infections. Because of the
contagiousness Of colds, the ques-
ton has arisen, "Should there be a
rule excluding all affected chill
dren?" Nearly everyone agrees
that this is impracticable. Many
children go on for days through a
delayed recovery of mild uncom-
plicated cold. To exclude these
continuously until complete re-
covery would be a great interfer-
ence with their education.
The only practicable procedure
seems to be to depend on parents
cooperation to keep home those
who are most likely to spread in
lection and those who, for their
own health, should be at home in
bed. Parents can be of much help
if they keep in mind the following
suggestions.
The first is to make a rule to
keep the younger child home in bed
for a period Of at least three days
even if the cold is mild. At any
age the child with a moderate OF
severe cold should stay home in
the early stages. An older child
with a mild cold may attend school;
but he should be reminded of the
Importance of not injecting others
and of avoiding fatigue and ex-
posture to bad weather. BY pro-
tecting others we mean, of course,
to cover the mouth and nose during
sneezing and coughing and to avoid
communicating articles used by
others. With older children, how
ever, we must guard against the
greater temptations to participate
in athletics and override things in
other ways.
There are three types of colds in
which it is especially important
that the child stay home. One is
the cold with a marked nasal dis
charge, bleary eyes and a feeling
of tightness in the head. These
are especially contagious. They
are greatly benefited by a day or
so in bed. The second type is the
grippy cold with feeling of gen.
eral illness, with such symptoms
as headache and backache. The
symptoms in the nose and throat
may not be pronounced. Exposure
or exertion is apt to bring on pneu-
monia or other complications. The
third type is the burning sore
throat. or septic sore throat as II
is sometimes called. 1t is quite
apt to be followed by ear or sinus
infections.
Whenever a cold is accompanied
by fever, the child should be put
1
to bed and a doctor consulted.

Action North of Lake Expected.
A decisive action north of the lake
has been expected for several days
since Russian offensive was stalled
and many Soviet troops were cut off
from supplies, Finnish headquar-
ters spokesman said in denying
foreign reports that the 18th Red
Army division had been destroyed.
(However, a dispatch to the
Copenhagen newspaper Ber-
lingske Tidende went into some
detail, saying the 18th Division
was destroyed between Kitela
and Kasnaselka, according to
reliable information. A Finnish
thrust southwark from Uuksa-
jarvi toward Tomas was credited
with cutting off the division, and
the Copenhagen paper said 1000
Russians who tried to escape
were killed or captured.
(The Copenhagen report said
the 18th Division was one of five
operating north of Lake Ladoga.
"a dispatch from Helsinki by
Reuters, British news agency,
also told of "annihilation" of
the 18th Division near Kitela.)
Heavy snowfall caused the Rus
sian air raids yesterday to be con-

along the southwestern coast. Au-

killed and seven women and chill
dren were hurt when bombers de-
stroyed seven houses in Kaskinen, q

Merry Fahrney Granted
Divorce From Cassini

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Merry
Fahrney, four times married and
four times divorced. suggests she is
through with welded life Her fourth
divorce was granted yesterday from
Oleg Cassini, whom she charged
with infidelity
Mr.. Cassini said she was guilty Of
the same offense. Supreme Court
Justice Aaron J. Levy dismissed the
defense testimony as wholly un-
worthy of belief
He said the evidence fully" sus-
tanned Merry's charge that Mr..
Cassini held a rendezvous with a
showgirl in a hotel room and that
the testimony of her butler that he
saw her in amorous situations with
several men was unsupported and
contained many incongruities and
contradictions.
