He added that it's becoming Diff

Instead of being supplied with a
sufficient number of handbooks, the

are of little value in training them, ~
Mr.. McConihe said.

for lease-lend aid to the allied ma

is expected to 60 for food products.
Also the Government is engaged in
purchasing some agricultural COM
modities for the use of the armed
forces.
The failure to place in the Price
Control Act any ceiling on industrial
wages, while imposing control Of
agricultural prices, has aroused the
farmers and their representatives
In Congress. The defeat Of the
Smith amendment to the war powers
bill in the House Friday on the in
sistance of the President has not
improved the feeling of the farm
bloc. The purpose of the Smith
amendment was to suspend the 40
hour work week provisions of various
and a half and double time pay
ments to industrial workers during
the period of the war. The farm
bloc regards the attitude of the
President as just another evidence
that the administration intends to
coddle labor at the expense of the
farmers.
Political Aims Seem
Some members Of the farm bloc
said yesterday they believed the
attitude of the administration to-
ward parity prices for farm products
grew out of two causes. The first,
political, was to keep control of the
farmers through the continued pay
ment of subsidies. Second, to keep
prices of food stuffs down to the con-
sumers-and thereby work against
imitation. Farm bloc representatives
said that If the administration was
bent on keeping down prices to con-
sumers and preventing imitation. it
should be just as active in keeping
down costs of industrial products,

I'VE have no information where

Mr.. McConihe said the civilian
defense co-ordinator should have q

" v ppf"t
Every woman likes flattery. but
the intelligent woman is embar-
rassed by f1attery which has no
basis at all in fact. That is one
of the incest things about keeping
yourself as lovely as you possibly
can. Then you can swallow the fiat
terry whole without so much effort!
Once you have completely given
up the idea that you are attractive
you can no longer hope for at
tention which holsters the ego. If
you get any you discount it as hav-
ing no meaning whatsoever except
that the flatterer is insincere.
Whenever woman thinks of her
self as middle-aged and unexciting,
when she believes that adventure is
over and that life will be humdrum
from then on or whenever she be-
gins to live parasitically through
the lives of her children and grand
children, this attitude of self-con-
demnation permeates her entire
physical and personality ensemble.
A woman with this outlook to-
ward life will be less careful about
her grooming, her figure and her
clothes. She has what's the use"
look in her eye that deadens the
atmosphere about her. Her person.
ality is likely to be timid or dull
and her posture apologetic. This
feeling actually affects the way she
holds her head, the way she walks,
her mannerisms, to say nothing OF
her plan of life!
Today a woman is just plain old
fashioned who doesn't think "life
begins at 4G." You really are just
beginning.
