THE smart women in this
world are those who realize
\ that you have to live in
peace with somebody. That is,
if you want to live, in the true
sense of living.
One such woman lives in a
city not far from the country
town where I am writing, a COM
fortably rich woman who, they
say, was once quite a beauty
and a belle. Her young husband
died only few years after mar
riage, leaving her with one son.
She married again, unfortunately,
and was divorced, with considerable
bitterness on both sides, for the sec
ond husband had wasted not only a
large part of her fortune. but some
of her sons as well. The son later
sued for his share and she hasn't
seen him, as Consequence, for
more than twenty years.
Two nieces in turn have tried liv-
ing with Aunt Carry, but with both
she made life so difficult that each
girl presently went her own way.
Now this dreary old creature lives
alone in a large Wondering house,
quarrelling with her cook, and ex-
acting devoted attention from a
handsome French chauffeur of about
"a, to whom she says she is going to
leave all her money. The French
man has been engaged for two years
to an attractive American girl, a
waitress, but his despotic old en-
ployer has forbidden him to men
ton her or see her.
Eternally Complaining.
Another dreadful old woman of
my acquaintance is penniless and
alone, supported by daughter and
son who see her as rarely as posi-
BILE. She is strong, husky woman
of go, eternally complaining and crit
icizing. She says she hates the
daughters husband, and that the
son had no business to marry while
his mother needed him.
This woman tried clearinghouse
for years; the meals, the service
and her fellow boarders in all of
them disguised her. Now she has
one room, two-burner gas stove,
and a bathroom four doors down the
hall, and cries when you meet her
because meals prepared and eaten
alone are so lonely. t-
Her daughter is not strong and has
three small children, but when Mrs.
Wee occasionally calls she sits in
the parlor like a stranger. Her sons
wife was in the hospital seven
months last year with a broken
spine, and paid housekeeper all
that time. Mrs. Wee said she never
could forget the way Emily acted

ried and their troubles weren't hers,

NEW ELECTRICAL
 THREAT IS MADE
Kansas City Faces Shut down, as Union Workers
 Deliver an UItimatum
By WALTER CRONKITE United Press Staff Correspondent


 Kansas City, Mo, Sept. l8.-(UP) A new electrical shutdown was threatened today as union workers delivered an ultimatum to officials of the Kansas City Power and Light Company.
 Striking members of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL) at closed meeting agreed to return to their jobs and work until 3 p. m. today when they will again walk out of the company's $ two power plants unless "a SatiSfac- tory settlement" of their dispute has been reached.
 They maintained token picket line at the two plants and sent their members in to man the massive tur- pines.
 Whether a new walkout would cripple the city as did the first, un- announced strike at midnight yes terday, depended, 1t appeared, on the enmpany'S ability to replace the skilled electricians with loyal en- ployeS and strikebreakers.
 A. E. Bettis, vice president of the company said he had :sot been con- tacted by the union regarding the new ultimatum but believed the company would be able to continue furnishing power without interrup- ton.

By EDWARD W. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Stan Correspondent

London, Sept. 18-(UP)-Authori- tative informantS said today that the Germans apparently had suc- ceeded in reaching the top of the Crimea, and cutting communication between the peninsula and the mainland.
 So great was the threat of the great German drive in the Ukraine to the Russian southern army that according to unconfirmed reports Marshal Semyon Budenny had started to remove part of his men fromb the Kiev area to the east bank of the Dnieper river.
 Isolation of the Crimea would mean that if the Germans attack the Crimea 1t cannot easily be re- inforced," an informant said. More over cutting of the railroad might be preliminary to a German thrust into the peninsula"
 It was possible also, authoritative sources said, that the German drive might develop into a drive on the Caucasus.
 If the Russians desire to send munitions and other materials tc the Crimea, assuming that indica- tions are borne out, it would be necessary to send them by water probably vio Rostov which is vul- nerable to raiding submarines and motor torpedo boats, as well as tc (Continued on Page Q

That was the law governing the present $7,000 100000 lend-lease appropria- ton, most of which has been allo- cated and 1t would permit the United States to provide lend-leaSe aid to Russia if 1t desired.
