CONGRESS-:
State of the Nation

Calling upon all U. S. citizens to
make the sacrifices that the emer-
gency-as serious as war itself
demands" President Roosevelt in
his personally delivered message to
the new Seventy-seventh congress
pledged full defense and help for
those %. people who are keeping
war away from our hemisphere"
He pointed out that he believed
the United States to be facing an
unprecedented foreign peril and he
asked for a "swift and driving in
crease" in armament production.
Both the United States and the ode
mocracies" would reap the benefits
of such increased production, ac-
cording to the President.
81 also ask this congress-" said
the President, ''for authority and
for funds sufficient to manufacture
additional munitions and war sup
plies of many kinds, to be turned
over to those nations which are now
in actual war with aggressor ma
tons" While he did not actually list
the nations to which such aid would
go it is generally believed that he
meant Britain, China and Greece.
President Roosevelt then proceed
ed to make clear that he did not
consider such aid an "act of war

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

When washing cut or etched
glassware use warm, soapy water
and then rinse the dishes in guam
titles of water of the same tenn
perature. Hot water is likely to
crack the glass. To avoid chipping,
set the articles on a towel in dish
pan or on the draining board.
AS potatoes get old add a little
sugar to the water in which they
are boiled. They will taste as good
as new ones.
Cider jelly is an excellent &C
compartment for turkey. Or mold
it in ring shape, fill the center
with chilled diced fruit and sur
round it with salad dressing. Serve
as first course salad.
Biscuits need a preheated, hot
oven. Then you have to bake them
only 10 or Is minutes.
Onion or fish Odors can be re-
moved from the hands by rubbing
them with dry mustard or salt and
then rinsing them in clear water.
Overstirring and mixing causes
mullins to rise in peaks and burst
open.
Always wrap a rubber hot water
bottle in soft cloth before placing
in a patients bed. Place the bot
tie near, but not against the pa
tents flesh. If placed too close the
patient may be burned before
realizing it.

FOREIGN BRIEFS:

LONDON. - British report that
since October Is, more than dozen
German infantrymen, representing
eight different units of the German
army, have been captured on Brit
ish soil. They called them the ''first
men Of the invasion army" to reach
England alive.
ROME.-The Axis will knock Eng
land out of the war before u. S. aid
can arrive for Britain, the Lavoro
Fascista prophesied.
BERLIN.-Observers believe Ger
mans will adjust their invasion Of
Britain in accordance to the con-
gressional action on President
Roosevelt's aid program. If con-
gress turns down the Roosevelt plan,
then the invasion may be called off.
LONDON. - German bombers
made direct hit on Eton schools
'birching block" where bad boys
were rattaned. Remnants went into
museum-but new one was set up.
VICHY.-While U. S. winter SHOWS
were far behind schedule, skiers
were sliding opposite the Pare hotel,
seat Of the Petain government.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-01-16
IRELAND:
On Vars Brink

Aerial war reports were featured
by small but continued bombing of
neutral Ireland, and George Bernard
Shaw rushed an interview over the
cables saying that either Britain or
Hitler would get Ireland into the
war somehow before long.
Hitler, said Shaw, wants Ireland
in on the Axis side, to give him a
possible landing site for aerial in
vaders. England wants Ireland ac-
lively in on the British side to give
her good naval bases and a better
defense against submarine activities
in the eastern Atlantic.
Investigation of the bombs that
dropped at first seemed to indicate
that the Germans were attempting
to line the Irish coast with magnetic
mines and that some of them had
inadvertently landed inshore.
This, however, was not borne out,
for later bombs were not of the
marine type, and then came a full
daylight raider, with no excuse for
missing, and popped one or two
right into the streets of Dublin.
Examination of the bombs showed
them to be of German manufacture.
The Axis, both Rome and Berlin,
Immediately leaped into print claim
ing that the bombs had been taken
from downed planes by the British,
who had been calmly bombing her
neighbor, trying to get the Irish mad
enough to declare war on Germany.

slightly stricter rule for the son
and heir are going to be respected.
In some families a man and a
woman have reached the point when
whatever is suggested by the one
is violently antagonistic to the other.
1t never occurs to either to give way.
The effect of this upon children is
intellectually bad.
Wants First Husband Back.
81 have been terribly unfortunate
in my marriages, writes an Iowa
woman. 'My first was at II, my
oldest girl being born before I
was Is. Her father was very young
and irresponsible, as everyone else
but myself seemed to know, and we
were Immediately divorced. Two
years later I married a very fine
fellow, but five years afterward he
had the misfortune to be injured
in the head, and was placed in an
institution. Having then two little
girls to provide for, I married for
home-a silly mistake, but I was
desperate. A son was born of this
marriage, but owing to actual in
juries inflicted on me by a
jealous, unreasonable husband he
was unable to develop like other
children and is a semi-invalid to
this day. Divorced two years later,
made a comfortable home for my
self and my children but was obliged
to sue for my late husbands estate
for their support when my son was
five years old.
1T was then met my first hus-
band, who had gone away from our
town, put himself through medical
school by his own efforts, and OBJ
tanned a really fine position. My
youthful folly in insisting on a di-
vorce cost me very dear, for the
old attraction is still strong in us
both, and Cal has a wife and two
little sons. What l am writing to
ask you is whether I still have any
claim on him, as in some states our
divorce would not be considered
legal. If he were free I believe /
could win him back"
And she sends me sheaf of docu-
ments to prove that her marriage
while she was not of age and his
letters protesting against the divorce
and other complicated details con-
stitute Illegally. The pity of It'll
At 80, burdened with an invalid child
and two daughters, she would step
back into Calls life to destroy it, ruin
the happiness of his wife and sons,
and once more complicate her own
existence, this time beyond all
hope of recovery.
Patience-Mutual Confidence Needed.
Seventeen is too young for mar
riage. But many marriage begun
in the teens has proved success,
nevertheless, and obviously this one
might have been. Patience and mu-
tual confidence and little help from
the grownups would have carried
Cal and Sally safely through. In
finite mischief and suffering would
have been averted, and possibly
houseful of fine children would
have held both man and wife in
safety. AS it Is, I'm not advising
Sally.
For one thing, she wouldn't pay
the slightest attention to advice.
She must follow her willful and mis-
chievous path to the end. But I do
ask other wives to look before they
leap to the divorce courts; see what
you can do with the material in
hand before you involve yourself in
even more complicated troubles.
