Still other men agree enthusi-
astically that they want a large
family-but, when they get it, re-
fuse to be responsible for anything
concerning the children but their
support. The wife is left behind to
rear the children while the husband
goes on being the charming fellow
the type of man always in demand
socially. The people who want him
orr weekendS just take his wife be-
cause she is his wife and they don't
know how to get out of asking her
Wives are always being advised
to keep up with their husbands.
But no one aver tells husbands
it's their duty at least to make an
effort to take their wives along
with them. For lots of the wives
who get left, like the motorists
wife, wouldn't be if their husbands
looked around to see that they were
at their sides oftener than every
forty miles-or every five years.

The other day motorist, driving
through Ohio, lost his wife. He
didn't miss her until he had driven
on forty miles. hen he realized she
wasn't in the back seat, the alb
sent-minded husband feared that
she might have fallen out of the
car. But she hadn't. He thought
lessly had driven off without her
when he pulled out of the last town
in which they had stopped.
1t made an amusing story for the
papers-a story husbands particu-
larly appreciated. But good many
of them who chuckled over it did
so without realizing that somewhere
in the past they, too, have gone
off and left their wives. But unlike
the frgetful motorist, they had nev-
er gone back for theirs.
Some husbands leave their wives
behind when they make their bus
mess or profession the one absorb
ing interest in their lives. They
leave their wives to entertain them
selves as best they can and use
their homes just as they would use

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 CUP) =
President Roosevelt today vetoed a
bill which would have withheld
stocks of government-owned wheat
and cotton from domestic markets,
on grounds that it would be Con
trary to sound governmental POLICY
and the long time best interests of
both farmers and consumers.
The measure had been passed by
both houses despite administration
opposition. A tWo-thirds vote of the
senate and house is necessary to
override presidential veto.
In special veto message TO the
house, Mr.. Roosevelt said that" in
times such as these no one can
foresee how soon these government
owned stocks may be needed"
1T is my conviction" said Mr.
Roosevelt, that approval of the
measure would seriously and ad-
versely affect the agricultural ad-
justment program and the attend
ant policies which have been sc
beneficial to our farmers during the
past few years"
The president described as partic.

The office of price administration

that consumer protests against
zooming food and clothing costs
jumped 100 per cent in July over
the June total.
The CPACS consumers division
said that public resentment against
mounting prices was directed at re-

The agency, however, failed to
affirm or deny reports that it was

waters around numerous other stra-

The air space over the Subic

Senator Wiley Urges
Of
'Boom-Town' Capital
Concentration of Federal
Offices cumbersome
And Inefficient He Says
Bv the Associated Press.

BV the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, March "a
Senator Wiley, Republican, of Wis
consin today described Washington
as a boom town" and asserted it
should be decentraIzed.
L regard the concentration of all
of the affairs of Federal Govern
ment IN Washington as unhealthy,
cumbersome, unwieldy, inefficient
and economically unsound," the Wis
consin Senator said in an address
prepared for the Republican Wom-
ems Organization of PENNSYLVANIA.
Decentralization Of Washington,
he said, would break down the "un-
healthy concentration of men and
power in the Nations Capital
Contending that many problems
could be handled better by officers
located in the field, the Senator also
said Federal employees, if shifted
out of Washington, would become
a part Of taXpaying communities and
their expenditures would be shot
back into the economic blood stream
of the Nation where most needed.
Some of US in Washington, he
said, see the menace of centraliza-
ton, not only of power, but that
form Of Capitalization which drains
the hinterlands of men-of men
who should, in that section, be pro-
duCerS of wealth and who should
spend their earnings there
He asserted that in decentrah-
zation the Nation could get produc-
ton necessary for national defense,
or maintain material, economic and
spiritual values.
Using the Agriculture Department
as an example of the way decentrali-
zation could be accomplished, Sem
ator Wiley said:
There is no reason why that por-
ton of the department which deals
with cotton could not be located in

Gently discovered form of rubber
which can be made indiStinguiSh-
able from human flesh now are pos
sible.
The method has just been re-
ported to the Army Medical Corps
by Dr.. Arthur H Bulbulian. surgeon
of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester.
Mimi, who has devoted to it five
years of intensive research.
1t makes possible, he reports, very
rapid restoration of faces to their
normal appearance. 1t no longer is
necessary to wait for the slow proc
esses Of plastic surgery, although
DR.. Bulbulian advises this far more
prolonged and expensive method
where it is possible and causes no
great hardship.
The new substance. he reports,
should prove very valuable in civil
ian cases which are too old for plas-
tic surgery to work, where the mu-
tilation is too great to be repaired so
as to look natural, or where the vic
tim has a job Of great responsibility
to which he must return as rapidly
as possible.
Vulcanized Latex Used.
The material is vulcanized latex.
Three materials. DR.. Bulbulian re-
ports in the Military Surgeon, Of
fetal journal of the Army Medical
Corps, have been used for facial
restorations in the past. New ears
and noses have been made of vul-
canized rubber of the same type
used in making the plates of false
teeth. They are hard, never can
be made to feel quite natural, and
must be painted to resemble human
flesh.
The second is methyl metacry-
late. a synthetic plastic, introduced
in false teeth manufacture In the
last two years. 1t also is hard, gives
a rigid appearance to the face, but
can be dyed while in the liquid
state so as to resemble perfectly
human flesh. The third was gela-
tin-glycerin mixture first introduced
nearly 80 years ago, which could be
poured into a mold as liquid, dyed
natural flesh color and had about
the texture of flesh. The trouble
was that noses and ears made from
