LYNN SAYS:

Care Of the Waffle Iron. Most
modern electric waffle irons
should not be creased, but extra
richness must be put into the
waffle batter. This should be
poured on the pre-heated iron
from a pitcher or with large
spoon.
With continued use, the cook
ing surface is apt to become
brown, and it is a mistake to re-
move this unless it becomes
burned or too thick. During the
occasional scourings, great care
must be taken not to get water
into the connection plug or heat
ing element. A damp cloth or a
soft brush should be used to free
the iron from excess batter or
crumbs.

it, and believe it is the right
thing for you to do.
If you don't do it things will stray
gle along in this uncomfortable way
with no plan and no system behind
them. You and Cart will live your
isolated life, taking no responsibility
for what really is primarily his job;
the raising of his sons. He will fee!
aggrieved and troubled, and his
mother will resent his attitude.
You are only 10, and long happy
years are ahead of you. Take the
next few as sort Of novitiate, in
which you learn to live. Go into this
other woman's house with one great
rule in your heart: silence.
A sweet, silent girl, helpful where
she can be helpful, contentedly read
ing or thinking when she is not need
ed, not entering into quarrels, not
criticizing, good-natured with her
small step-sons, taking the older
woman's direction in everything, is
in an i1npregnable position.
This is what in religious books is
called "a counsel of perfection. It
would be impossible for an older
woman to follow it. Common sense
and justice are both against it. A
dozen times day you will want to
burst out with ''That isn't what you
said this morning. That isn't fairl
He wasn't to blame! You promised
you don't understand-you're de-
lberately making Cart think"
Play It Like q Game.
But you are young enough to
school yourself to complete silence
except when everyday pleasant
conversation is concerned. You are
young enough to play it like game;
enjoying the confusion of the others
when you give them complete right
of way.
Talk to Cart all you like, of course.
Take the boys on expeditions to the
five-and-ten and movies for children,
and gradually come to be to them
the friend and confidante who never
tells tales or Furnishes or disciplines.
And gradually you will see mira
Gle happening in the Brown house
hold, and feel it in your own heart.
Your husband viii double the love
and gratitude he feels for you. Your
small sons will reward you with an
entire devotion. But best of all the
unreasonable mother-in-law viii be-
gin to turn to you. Shouldn't I
have punished that child, Betsey?
Don't you think Cart was wrong?

manage this or that?" You win have
conquered hard circumstances by
heroic self-control and bywifely love.

r TERE is letter from a
wife, nineteen years old,
L L who finds herself among
the many, many women whose
lives are complicated by the
existence of a mother-in-law.
Sometimes I think there ought
to be a school for mothers-in-
law. This one, at any rate,
seems bound to disorganize and
make trouble for the very per-
sons she ought most to help and
love.
"My husband is fourteen years
older than I am, writes Betsey,
from Buffalo. ellis first wife
left him when Carter junior and
Jim, the sons, were five and
three. Immediately after the di-
vorce she married a man with
whom she was in love, later di-
vorcing him. A year ago she
was killed in a motor accident.
ct was Carts secretary, had loved
him from the moment I entered his
employ, and consider him the most
wonderful man in the world. We
were quietly married, without an
nouncing our plans, which made his
mother very angry. The two boys
have been living with her, but she
finds their care too much for her,
and cannot afford anything but part
time help in kitchen and nursery.
So she wants, and ] think my hus-
band wants, to combine forces, save
on rent, and share the responsibility
of the children. They have never
meant very much to my Cart. He
does not understand them, and his
mother is alternately given to spoil
ing them or Furnishing them without
reason.
Faces a Problem.
''Now, I feel, and my mother and
sisters feel, that to do this might be
to wreck our chances of married
happiness forever. I am too young
to hold my own with anyone as
forceful as Mrs. Brown; I would be
a doormat in the family, with ev-
eryone's feet on me. If disciplined
the boys, sor asked Cart to take sides,
there would be bitterness and trou-
BILE. Ss,ssasd -ls-l-. q
II cannot tell you how disagree
able this old woman is. She delights
in making trouble. She will hint
that I went into business just to get

boys, She's not your Mama, even
if Papa wants you to call her Ma

first when he comes in; she picks up

her too seriously.

Jan VoItin Asks Pardon
In Fight on Deportation
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Calf, Aug. 21.-
Jan Valtin, author of the book "Out
Of the Night" has applied to Gov.
Culbert L. Olson for a pardon as a
step in his fight against deportation
to Germany.
The 36-year-old former seaman
wrote the Governor that a pardon
would help him realize a dream to
establish permanent home in
America and would "also Illustrate
Nazi and Communist efforts to de-
liver me to Hitler's headsman for
having become an implacable foe of
totalitarian methods of govern
ment."
Valtin, who made the application
under his real name, Richard Julius
Herman Krebs, was convicted in Los
Angeles in 1926 for assault with a
deadly weapon on a shopkeeper. He
was paroled from San Quintin after
serving 8 years of a 10-year sentence.
He is now living near Danbury,

Capital TransitLine
Suburban D. c. Workers
Tell State P. S. 6. Bus
Service Is Inadequate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 21.-Mary-
lands Public Service Commission
yesterday undertook an investiga-
ton of request for Improvements
to the New Hampshire avenue bus
line of the Capital Transit Co. Of
Washington.
A petition asserting that present
service on the line is wholly made
quate for the requirements of this
community" was presented to the
commission by 103 residents of the
New Hampshire Avenue Highlands
and Hillwood Manor.
P. S. G. officials said copies of the
petition had been forwarded to the
transit company. and that they
would conduct an inquiry into the
charges.
The petition asserted that many
bus line patrons had to walk five
or six blocks along busy New Hamp-
shire avenue, often on muddy dirt
shoulders. Frequent breakdowns Of
service occur, it was said.
For these reasons, many resi-
dents of this community who would
ordinarily patronize this bus line
the petition continued, NOW drive
their cars to the terminus of the
Chillum bus line to avoid inconven-
ience and delay"
The residents signing the petition
urged that five steps be taken:
/. That more modern buses be
placed in service.
2. That the terminus of the line
be moved from Sligo parkway to
Norwood drive.
3. That l0-minute service be in
stituted during rush hours, and 30
minute service during the remainder
Of the day, until II pm.
4. That rush-hour service on Sat-
urday begin at lis pm. instead Of
1:45 pm.
5. That weekly passes costing
s1.50 be issued to include the
Maryland fare and the District Of
Columbia fare.
The line in question operates
wholly in Maryland, P. S. c. officials
said.
