Clark Would Limit
81. Lawrence Work
To Power Expansion
Waterway Foe Willing
To Agree to Development
Of Electrical Resources
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's appeal for
speedy congressional consent to the
projected St Lawrence waterway
development brought a counter pro-
posal from opponents today that
only the hydro electric power por-
ton of the program be undertaken
at this time.
Senator Clark. Democrat, of Mis-
souri, said that. in view of the Pres
ident's assertion that additional cleo
trio current was needed for defense
Industries, he and others of like
mind would not object to author
izing development of the power re-
sources.
But the Missouri Senator, who was
one Of the leaders of the successful
1884 fight to prevent Senate rati-
ficatiOn of a treaty approving the
proposed undertaking, said he could
see no merit in the Presidents con-
tention that the L3oO-mile water
way from Montreal to the Great
Lakes would be of benefit for imme-
date defense needs.
Doubt Separation Feasible.
'Jf the President wants to send up
a separate power proposal at any
time Senator Clark told reporters,
II don't apprehend that there would
be any material opposition to that.
This suggestion, however, raised
the question whether power and
navigation phases of the project
could be separated and some SEN
ators voiced doubts that it would
cost much more to build dams and
locks for both purposes than to
construct dams for power alone.
The President. in his message to
Congress yesterday. spoke with equal
emphasis of the need of both the
power development and the seaway
route construction, linking the Great
Lakes and Atlantic.
Completion in Four Years.
The proposed seaWav-which he
estimated could be completed in four
years or lesS-Would help prevent
transportation bottlenecks, he as
serted, and would permit the i'm
mediate shifting Of lOnger-term
naval construction from overcroWded
coastal yards to Great Lakes IA
cllltieS.
Senator Adams. Democrat, of Col
orado said he could not conceive of
q defense project requiring four
years for completion. The seaway,
as distinct from the power develop
ment, would benefit only one section
of the country, he asserted, at the
expense of the entire nation and to
the detriment Of other regions.
On the other hand, Chairman
Walsh of the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee, who has opposed the
project in the past, said the develop
ment proposal would have to be re-
examined in the light of the Presi-
dents message. Others pointed out
that there was no question of the
vital need for more sources of power.

you any suggestions? There is room

MRS. E. w. S.
Answer-My choice would be one
Of the lovely hand wrought iron
tables with glass top and matching
chairs with upholstered seats. These
are now made SO beautifully that
they deserve all year. round use
rather than just garden use. Their
fragile quality because of the glass
top makes them seem TO take very
little space, though six or eight
may be served comfortably, and
many of the designs will go well
with your antique furniture. Carry

flowers and perhaps a bird in

Yes, it is hard to do, but there is
no short way around for those who
have fatty deposits on the thighs.
Special exercise is the answer to
that annoying problem. You may
diet until you are thin in the face,
but your thighs probably will stay
the same. Today's exercise is splen-
did for fat thighs.
All the f1gure-molding exercises
which give are conducive to good
health. I believe that the most
valuable exercises are those taken
on the mat. They stir circulation
without putting strain on the
heart, they massage internal organs
and mold the figure. Therefore,
the exercise today is fine for circles,
too. Very often these sins against
beauty are the result of too little
exercise, outdoor life, or sleep.

an event.
The garden picnic party idea is
the most engaging party news OF
the season for young members of the
family. And busy mothers will find
it no less delightful. So simple to
prepare, so charming in effect, in
dividual picnic baskets are bound to
be the hit of the seasons most sue
cessful parties.
And for the older members of the
household the garden also holds an
allure around meal time. Even the
smallest plot of grass, or tiniest
paved backyard, can take on the
atmosphere of picnic or barbecue
with the addition of one or two
pieces of special equipment, and the
use of little imagination in plan
ming the refreshments.
To aid you in accomplishing this
al fresco effect, there is a new book
which has just rolled off the presses
of M. Barrows & Co. of New York.
Cook 1t Outdoors" by James Beard,
Is a delightful volume, crammed
from cover to cover with practical
information and culinary sugges-
tions. If you have been wondering
just how to go about building that
outdoor fireplace or oven for which
the family has been clamoring, here
you will find explicit directions for
constructing it, step by step. If you
are at a loss as to what type of
portable grill to purchase, Mr.. Beard
gives you helpful advice on the
matter.
1t is mans book, primarily, writ
ten by man who understands all
the technicalities of cookery in the
open-but it will be invaluable to
the woman who aims to please the
masculine members of her household
who abhor the average feminine
picnic, but who do go for real, he
men outdoor meals in a big way.

Father Must
ToChild
His Role as Family
Cash Register
Is Not Enough
By Dorothy Dir

ny DUf OfHy INV
A man who dearly loves his chill
dren wants to know what are the
duties and privileges of a father, If
any, besides supporting his off,
spring. He says that his position in
his family is merely that of cash
register, which his wife punches for
the behoof and benefit Of the
children, and after that is done
and he has yielded up the neces-
sary coin, he is expected to keep
out of the way and not inter-
fere in any way with her plans
for them or the way she is bring
ing them up, except when she
wants them punished without the
odium of doing so falling upon her
self. This leaves the children look
ing upon Papa as household robot
that spanks occasionally and that
rouses in their infantile breasts no
emotion stronger than indifference
tinged with dislike. This father
thinks that is pretty poor pay for
a man to get for Shaving for his
children. Also, he thinks 1t is bad
for the children to be practically
fatherless. Somehow" he says,
humbly and pathetically, "I feel that
I am being defrauded in being shut
out of my children's lives, and that
they are not getting a fair deal,
either, because, after all, a man has
had experiences of life and does
know a few things that even
mother doesn't know, and might be
able to hand them a few valuable
tips. But so far every time I have
tried to break into the game my
wife has thrown me out on my ear,
so to speak. Hence I am asking what
are he-rights that father might
reasonably expect to enjoy con-
corning his children?"
Well, of course, a fathers first
duty, not to say his pleasure, is to
get acquainted with his children
while they are still in the cradle.
This is not as easy a matter as it
seems. Because not only his wife
but a trained baby specialist and
grandmother and a horde of other
female relatives will stand guard
over Junior and dare father to
touch him.
This is crucial moment in the
life of both the parents and the
baby. For If the father does not file,
right then and there, his claim to
half interest in the baby he has
lost any share in it forever. Once let
a mother begin saying my baby in
stead of our baby and the father
is out.
A man should be friends with his
children. If he wants his grown sons
and daughters to love him, to con-
fide in him, to enjoy being with him.
he must begin cultivating that in
timacy in their very babyhood. You
can't get acquainted with children
after they are grown up. You have
to chum with them when they are
little.
1t is fathers duty to control his
children and develop in their con-
sciences respect for law and order
and the decencies of life. This Is
hard thing to do if he has a
weak and foolish wife who spoils
them and who blocks his every effort
to correct their faults and steer
them into the right path.
But just because he has COM
mitted the crime against his chill
dren of giving them that kind of
a mother, he is the more bound to
try to save them from her de-
moralizing influence, and show
them, by example and precept, that
there are things in the world better
worth striving for than the pleasure

tint the paper with water color

simpler than this, in case you have

then tear the edge by hand with

The Needed
VitaninS
Simple List Shows
Why Substances
Are Important
BvLeffice Lee Street,

There seems to be a "vitamin
fad" now; mothers fuss and worry
about whether or not their babies
and children are receiving enough
of these precious substances. Then
they become vitamin-conscious about
themselves and rush to the nearest
drug store to buy box of the con-
centrates that are selling like hot
cakes.
What exactly are vitamins? These
minute constituents of food are de-
fined in Gould's Medical Dictionary
as follows: Substances in foods
essential for development of the
young and maintenance of health.
They are not fats, proteins, carbo-
hydrates nor inorganic salts"
I think every mother should know
what vitamins are found in various
foods, and I have prepared this
easy y-to-understand list for you.
But just as you should carefully
give your baby and young children
only the diet and foods that your
doctor prescribes. by the same token
only your doctor should prescribe
what added vitamins your child
should have.
Vitamin AIN most animal fats,
milk, butter and green vegetables.
Very abundant in cod liver oil. 1t is
needed for general nutrition, helps
to prevent night blindness and an
eye disease known as xerophthalmia.
Vitamin BIN milk, eggs, cereals
and potatoes. 1t is needed for gen.
eral nutrition and prevents beri-
beri.
Vitamin C-In fresh fruits, fresh
green vegetables. Particularly in
oranges, lemons and tomatoes. A
lack of it results in scurvy. 1t is
present in milk, but is destroyed
when the milk is heated or pro-
cessed in any way. This is why it
Is so important for your bottle fed
baby to have orange juice. Breast
fed babies should have it, too, as
the vitamin c content in mothers
milk is not always the same and
cannot be depended upon.
Vitamin DIN animal fats and the
yolk Of egg. Very high in cod liver
oil. 1t is also present in milk, but
the quantity cannot be depended
upon 1t prevents and cures rick
cts, promotes growth of bones and
teeth. Vitamin D is produced in
the body by exposure to the direct
rays of the sun.
Vitamin B2 is present in many of
the foods in which vitamin B is
found. and it prevents pellsgra.

diet that daily includes milk, butter.

vegetables and whole wheat cereals.

A World Gone Mad--

We are at WAR. Not from our choice,
but rather because of the covetOuS plan for
a new order for Japan-because we have
been stabbed by the sudden onslaught OF the
yellow races surprise attack on our possess
sions and Pacific outposts-because they
have slain our citizens, our soldier sons.
Americans did not want war-but there is
no choice.
Our effort now must be unified, with
swift retribution for the cowardly attack
Greater sacrifices will be necessary so that
our government can carry out it's protective
measures, as well as help our allies and con-
duct war that will reduce Japan from its
standing as world power.
The writer, in representing the Herald,
has continuously lent his meagre efforts
against war. Americans all wanted to re-
main at peace, but it has been decreed other
wise. People in our possessions are in
dire danger-it is even possible that our
home coasts may be threatened by aerial
raids. But Americans are united as never
before, through this act of Japan and its
declaration of war against the United States.
Americans have heavy hearts, but have
an undaunted courage and a determination
to carry this war to the aggressor, so that
we may again live in peace. Let us hope
people of the world the opportunity for last
ing peace, security from sudden attack, the
right for pursuit of happiness and liberty,
which we have enjoyed for many years. We
need no war lords in the world today, and
now is the time to eradicate them.
Americans are united, and again the
shot will be heard round the world. With
Gods Grace we shall fight, and we must win
to protect our own freedom and our rights
in world gone mad
As our President said in his message
to Congress: with confidence in our armed
forces-with the unbounding determination
of our people-we will gain the inevitable
triumph-so help us Cod"
"Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men," may sound like an empty phrase to-
day, but when through the dark clouds of
war, a new dawn shall appear, it is our hope
that the whole world may learn the meaning
of that hopeful message, and all nations shall
learn to live in peace and happiness. That,
we know, is the wish of Americans, and they
are willing to fight to bring it about.
Heads up, America shall prevail!
