Saturday afternoon of last week

and injured others, in a section Of

children.
What is the remedy for this sort
of thing? To begin with, a drunk
driver Of an automobile is a poten-
tial murderer. But how are we
going to stop intoxicated persons
from driving cars? We have beer
present at many trials when men
were charged with driving while
drunk, and rarely have we ever
heard such a driver admit that he
had over "three beers.
Severity of punishment is not
enough. 1t must be certain.
And that does not reach the roo
of the trouble. GREATER CARE
WILL HAVE TO BE ExERcfs-
ED IN THE ISSUANCE OF Ltc-
ENSES.
And when a drunk driver is
caught, prosecution should be in
diligently and effectively carried
out.
What is needed is a Traffic
Court Independent of the present
branch of the Criminal Division of
the Municipal Court. One Of the
Judges should be assigned annual.

ing the other four Municipal Judg-
es to handle the other cases of the
court, civil and criminal. Perhaps,
it would be we'll to rotate them ir

you think a boy in school should

you should get some recreation.
Be nice to the girl and take her

school senior. Lead her to believe

Dear Doctor PEBBLES:
1 wish to acknowledge your tele,

ton to the incident at Alexandria

I was very much disturbed that
such a thing was allowed to have
happened and 1 Immediately con-
tacted the senators from LouIsi-
ana and the War Department II

vestigation is being conducted by
the War Department at the pres
ent time and will be followed
through to a legitimate conclus-
ion. The men who were injured
in the incident are all recovering

ible in army hospitals.

you of my continued interest in

or the other. Will 1 be able 10
accomplish my desire any time

Ans: At the rate you are saw
ing, it shouldn't be but a few
more months until you have the
necessary money to pay down on
a nice home. Your husband is a
good man and feels that you are
his partner. if you want a home
he would like for you to make the
arrangements and buy it. If he
didn't feel that you had the ability
to make decisions of this kind, he
would make it known. Buying a
home while you both are young is
a very wise thing to do.

w. M. MIN getting thru
school and plan to enter nursing,
take up dancing or modelling for
a career. Advise me along these
lines?
Ans: Better make arrange
ments to enter nursing as you
would be preparing yourself for a
profession where you would be
sure of an income. Dancing is
fine. but you are a little too old
to be getting into that field. Mod
cling is a nice profession but
there are numbers of models and
unless you were sure of a pull, and
had an exceptional figure, charm,
and personality it might be best
to stick to nursing.
H. ST left my husband and
now have my divorce as he was no
good. I've met another man who
acts like he cares for me. He's
thrilling, good looking, good com
pany and I like him. He too has
a habit I don't like but he promis-
ed to quit. Should I trust him?
Ans: Make him prove that he
can give up his habit before taking
him too seriously and it can't be
done in a month. If he's suffic-
ient1y interested in you to want
to stop drinking encourage him
... take him to church and other
places so he will be thrown with
the best of people. If he car stop
for a year. then put your conf
dence in him.

him boss me around. I gave my
husbands sister a nice gift Xmas

cloth for a dollar. I guess that
was alright but she gave my hus-
band two shirts and a tie. They
called me and told me not to feel
sighted about the gift, they would
give me a New Years present but
they didn't. 1 am awfully hurt.
Ans: Forget your worries and
profit next year from this and
past experiences. When you buy
gifts next year. buy according
to what you feel your inlaws will
give. It is always best not to

The Dutch Look Ahead

The announcement by Queen Will
helmina of the Netherlands concern
ing the future status of Hollands
empire shows once again the validity
of the old saying that you can't
beat the Dutch" In the midst OF
war the Queen and her government
have taken long look into the post
war world and projected a globe
girdling Netherlands common
wealth" in which Holland, the Dutch
East Indies and the two New World
regions of Surinam and Curacao
each will be the partner" of the
other. The yearning toward polit-
ical freedom and freedom from want
both are to be satisfied as much as
possible. The roots of native life
in the thickly populated Indies are
to be preserved. Educational ad-
vantages for the 1ndonesians are to
be augmented. Apparatus for giving
each of the territories political
control over it's own domestic affairs
is to be set up.
The past efficiency in the admin
istrative and economic organization
of the Indies is expected to simplify
the difficult job of reconstructing the
region, Notwithstanding the grave
depredations of the Japanese occu-
piers Of the islands. The scheme,

vulged by the Queen, has been

More Rail Troubles

The railroad industry again is in
the switches-and this is not in
tended as a pun. On the one hand,
the OPA contends that the carriers
are making unreasonable profits out
OF war traffic, and is urging the In
terState Commerce Commission to
cancel the rate increase granted
earlier this year to offset wage
boost dictated by the White House
N the face OF a strike threat by rail
Unions. On the other, the unions
IRE back with a new pay demand,
the rising cost Of living being used
IS an argument to justify it.
When the ICC raised freight and
passenger rates to enable the rail-
roads to meet the wage increase. it
vas with the understanding that the
arrangement was more or less tenn
porary. and it will not be surprising
therefore, II the commission re-
opens the matter despite objections
which the railroads are due to file
this week. The rate case, however,
probably will be governed largely by
the outcome OF the wage negotia-
lions, for the two issues cannot be
considered independently OF each
other.
The wage increase obtained by the
brotherhoods last December was es-
timated to average from 10 to Is per
cent. The five train and engine unions
now ask 80 per cent more, while the
Incorporating groups demand is 20
cents an hour. This, of course, is far
over the IS per cent yardstick fixed
by the War Labor Board in the
Little Steel" decision and reafflrmed
In later actions. A significant de-
velopment in this connection is that
the board already has interested it
self in the case, and no doubt will
figure Importantly in future nego-
tiations, although the situation is
complicated by the fact that the
National Mediation Board is the in
termediary created by statute to deal
with rail labor problems.
At this stage of the proceedings it
seems likely that the rail unions will
give the Administrations wage-freez-
Ing policy the acid test, for they are
not In the habit Of coming out Of
wage conferences empty handed.
Further, they have won concessions
while continuing to insist on the
retention Of feather bed" rules
which cost the carriers millions an
nually by requiring them, under Ger
tain conditions, to pay labor for time

Sees Democracy in Pamphlets
Affecting Government Revenue.
To thu Td}for ~ I'M Cav.


Apropos of a sunny side of the income
tax situation. the following thought may
be OF interest:
There are several books and pamphlets
on the market which advise and direct
their respective purchasers in the field
of income tax returns. One inducement
offered to influence the taxpayer into
buying one of these guides is the claim
that the proper filling out of the income
tax forms will save the taxpayer several
times the cost of the guide.
How many people realize that here is
good evidence Of democracy? What the
situation actually boils down to Is the
fact that the Government condones the
publication and dissemination Of ma
terial which, In many instances, will cut
into the Federal income derived from
taxes. What better example Of freedom

The flower names almost without ex-
ception are beautiful, as is witnessed by
the adoption by the human race of many
of them as names for girls. Rose, Lily,
Violet, Pansy, Iris-these are but few
Of the common ones. Even those that
have not been so adopted are beautiful
and might well be chosen.
Would not "Gladiolus" make a re-
sounding name for boy-"little sword"
and how about "Gladiola" for a girl?
1t is true that there is no such form as
the latter, but we could use it, anyway.
Poppy is name sometimes heard.
Anchusa, gentian-blue flower, is pretty.
Gentian, by the way, is sometimes used
as name. Aster is not bad, while
Daisy is world-known.
The columbine is a garden friend and
has given its name to an old theatrical
favorite. Candytuft, tulip calendula,
hyacinth, campanula are words that trip
off the tongue. Carnation is word
known to every one, because the flower
has great and deserved vogue. There
is, too, the cneraria, the coreopsis, the
delphinium.
Gypsophila has the pleasant subname
OF 'baby's breath" Linaria, a trailing
plant, is another pretty flower name
that might we'll be used for naming
flower of the human family
Why use the commonplace names for
girl babies when there is available such
a word as ''Marigold"? Would not Ne
mesia, too, be pretty? Lobelia is not
bad either. Mignonette has long been
a favorite name among the French.
Phlox Is not bad sounding, although
perhaps too unusual for a human name.
j. Phlox Smith might shock the natives,
indeed!
The tufted pansies or violas have
given us our name Viola And Primula,
now; but hardly Rudbeckia, Scabiosa
or Pyrethrum!
Tritoma (red-hot poker plant would
do for "go-getter" Veronica, also
called the speedwell, is sometimes used
as human name.
Narcissus, name Of ancient DAYS, is
now best known as that of one of our
most popular spring Towering bulbs.
Amaryllis, the giant Towering, is often
used name. Jonquil is often used. It
hath right pleasant sound, as hath
Anemone. Nor should we omit Peony,
the queen of the May.
Among the bulbs, we like crocus,
cozy little fellow, and fritillaria, which
reminds us of fritters, and the freesia.
OF which one variety is named General
Pershing.
Surely we have given enough to show
that the flower names are beautiful and
easily pronounced by any one who will
take the trouble to look at them and
spell them over mentally to himself be-
fore he speaks.
The only trouble with flower names
for use as human names is that some
how they bespeak characters which are
formed, not forming. In other words, a
child would have to wait for many years
before it could be named. This would be
true to nature, in way. Who is there
who has not looked at child and won

Pay Raise for Santa

For while it seemed that this
year Santa Claus would be frozen
out, not by the weather, but by wage
freezing. Thanks to the War Labor
Board, this will not happen. An
appeal was made by New York
store, to be allowed to pay Santa
Claus Is per cent more than last
year, and the board gave blanket
reply in the affirmative, effective for
all similar cases; quite concession
when, technically, Santa Claus is not
war worker.
Yet he is morale worker, one of
the best. Perhaps the War Labor
Board recognized this fact. At any
rate, it was careful to specify that
Santa Claus must be jolly, and wear
a red robe. He must shun the razor
as the plague, and appear in the
traditional long white beard and
CHEEKY smile. He must also, in the
boards exact words, "use his office of
juvenile trust to spread the Christmas
spirit of good will among all men,
women and children" Hats of, then,
to the War Labor Board, for its Joint
Christmas present to Santa Claus
and his public, and for sending it
promptly and not so wrapped up
with red tape that it could not be
opened before Christmas. It was, to
be sure, lightly fastened with four
"whereases" and two "provideds,"
but doubtless some form of security
was necessary to keep it from falling
apart before delivery.
