assessed themselves 4S00O to support a bill to raise their salaries. A state senator was quoted as saying It would be worth 5000 to an Mp- pointee of Governor DonnelP to be confirmed by the senate, and this senator through 'senatOrial court esy" could have blocked the con- firmation; later he said he meant it as a joke, but 1t was no joke to the appointee.
 The little deal dripping with the most gravy, however, would have nicked interested parties conn ing and going. It provided that no person could be cremated for 48 hours after death, and that coroners should receive Sl0 for each body ex- amined before cremation. Naturally the cOroners wanted the bill snd crematory owners opposed it,. thus giving angle-shooting lawmakers Q chance to take from both sides. CLEANING UP
 THE STATE HOUSE
 with these and other exposures, GSts A4VuA3 W4AA @AWAA1US i&Aby 4AGW0kS0- pers jumped in, called it the most corrupt and downright 'orneriest legislature in the history of this or any state.
 There was 50 much talk of set- ting the law on lawmakers who looked on the currency when 1t was long and green that Gov ernor Donnell, Judge Blair, At torney General Roy McFSittrick, and Carl Wymore, prosecuting at torney of the county in which the capital is located, came out with the grand jury plan.
 Blair, youngest circuit judge in the state, is a tough-minded fight- CT who believes legislators have no more right to steal than any- one else. He knows what he's about for, ss assistant U. s. dis- trict attorney, he helped prepare and present the cases which did in Pendergast and other Kansas City political crooks.
 Donnell had special reason to favor 6 clean-up, for 1t was this same legislature which tried un- successfully for three months to keep him from being inaugurated.

started the folks back home vox popping all over the place were the tales of reyelry by morning, noon and night in the beautiful capitol.
 Many offices were equipped with bars from which flowed various Joy juices at all hours. Capitol jallitors couldn't get the cobwebs off statues of Lewis and Clark, they were 50 busy rolling out the beer barrels and carting quarts around the halls.
 CAPITOL BOYS
 HAD CAPITAL TIME
 A big poker or crap game was in full blast much of the time in one committee room, and 70 much did the participants apTrr- ently mistrust their fellow cube tossers that they reportedly forced them to bang the dice against the door. The lads became so taken with their pastime that one day 1t was necessary for the speaker of she house to send the sergeat1tSat-arrls for the gamers so Q quorum would be present on the house floor.
 The boys and gals, however, seemed to make the most, and certainly the loudest, whoopee in the office of c first-term senator. Observers reported sounds of merry feasting and drinking, scented with gusts of frying onions and shrimp, waited from his office from noon to midnight on many a day. Ere. uuently the senator provided music and dancing for his guests.

 Yes, modern women have learned a variety of new skills as the need for some of the old ones has passed.
 They are ready to play an en- tirely new role in national defense, if they are needed. But they won't fall down in the old role of women in wartime, either.
 They'll be just as capable of hold ing their homes together, managing on a little money and being the man of the family as any woman who ever lived. Maybe they'll be a little more capable-for today'S women can get out and supplement the family income if they have to.

and telephone operation. A glance at that list of possible skills shows that although today's woman, as her critics claim, may not be able to do everything Grandma could, she has acquired lot of skills Grandma knew noth- ing about.
 Take that driving a motor ve- hicle, for instance. The average housewife not only can drive a motor vehicle, but she spends so much of her time hauling her family around in good weather and bad, she should rate a professional chauffeur's license.

The queStionnaire wants to know if she owns car. Well, it's usually in Papa's name-but Mama keeps it all day.
 Training in aviation is much less common, of course, but not because Mama isn't eager to know how to pilot plane It's just that, in the past, learning to fly has been an expensive proposition. But now that college girls are getting chance at flying lessons, the number of women pilots in the country will increase quickly.

 A great many women in the country are trained in dietetics. And a large number of them are not in paid jobs, but are using their training right now in their own homes.

STEWING AND FUSSING CAN BECOME. A HABIT

Admit right off the bat that nervous temperament" nine times out of ten should be called what it is: bad temper. Don't indulge yourself in temper tantruns. You know very well that they injure not only your looks but your standing with your friends and associates.
 Learn to relax and to take things not quite so hard. If you are go- ing to do the extra job at all, you might as well be cheerful about it What if there is unexpected com pany? They came to see you and not your food, didn't they? So why not concentrate on being charming and making them glad they came instead of fussing about having to serve plain instead of company food?
 I know that learning to relax isn't so simple as all that. Still it is true that fussing and stewing can become a habit. It's not so very much more difficult to cultivate good habits rather than bad ones

so YOU DON'T LIKE SPINACH? If a child does not care for spin- acl1 1t would be no loss to nutrition if spinach were eliminated from the child'S diet. Little If any of the calcium in spinach and less than half of the iron can be used by the body anyway. More inn portant than that, fundamental principle of good nutrition is this physiological fact: The food must always be attractive and the eat ing pleasant. On that ground alone if g. child dislikeS any particular item, no matter who thinks it is good for him." the item should be omitted without any argument or discussion. Incidentally, it is a sad mistake in any case to discuss at table 8 child,S likes or dislikes. Aft CT all, child old enough to have seat at the table, even if only a high chair, is a person, and his tastes should be respected as though he were your wealthy aunt.
 Another physiological fact with a bearing on good nutrition and vite is not sufficiently recognized, es- pecially in homes where there are children. That is the psychical se- erection of gastric juice, which de- peIlds largely on conditioned re- flexes. Can't stop now to explain this in detail, but vigorous secre- ton of gastric juice in the stomach may be produced not only by the taste of food, but also by the ap- pearance and ooor of food (every- body knows how appetizing food may look or smelD, and even by extraneouS stimuli or influences which have been closely associated with eating for considerable time such as 8 pleasant chime calling to dinner, dressing for dinner ol washing up and brushing the hair cheerful company, soft background music, attractive surroundings freedom to indulge natural playful ness, in short good humor. On tht other hard an unpleasant emotions al atmosphere may not only check secretion of gastric juice but ares all the processes of digestion, a! Prof. Cannon shows so vividly il his book Bodily Changes in Pain Hunger, Fear and Rage" (Apple. ton, 1915).
 For example, a little boy neve1 would take more than few un. willing sips of milk under the con. stant urging and nagging of hi! parents, until a visitor in the home whose jolly ways quickly won thu child's affection, conceived the ides of a little competition in mill drinking and contrived to finish hi glass shortly after the youngstel had finished his every day. Thi competition went on for week ol two. and after the guest had de. parted the little boy continued t take several glasses of milk daily with frequent boasts that he'd be Uncle Joe couldn't beat him now.
 At table is the right place tt teach a child neatness or cleanli. ness-and the first rule is that ont must never come to table or ca without first having washed thu hands and combed the hair at leas' - and such cleanliness is chiefly for health's sake

MANNERISMS THAT CAN'T BE CURED

If you just cannot keep from get ting too upset each time you are asked to do a little extra job or there is unexpected company or one of the children gets B instead of an A in department, better decide to do something about yourself. Otherwise you'll soon develop ner- vous mannerisrns that cannot be cured, lines around the eyes and 8 sagging chinline or, worse yet, a set, too-too determined expression. It might be smart to begin by seeing your family doctor. Perhaps an organic ailment of one kind or another is at the root of the trou- ble. If not-and only the doctor can decide-then it's probably high time that you started disciplining yourself.
