BY CAROLE URICH.

Here we are in Washington! 1t
came over me with new thrill Sun
day night as we stood at the en-
trance to the National Art Gallery
my husband, John; Dutchie. our
Seeing Eye dog; our sailor escort,
Frank Walton. and myself.
1t had all happened so quickly,
this chance to 60 to concert down
town. I dabbed a bit of powder on
my nose. not too careful about a wee
bit of lipstick, grabbed coat. John
harnessed Dutchie, got coat and
Strengthened his tie bit. All the
time he was trying to think who this
nice Seaman Walton might be, who
had just telephoned us and asked
us to go to the concert.
"Oh, yes" John sort of whispered
to me in the cab. DO you remem-
ber my telling you of man who
walked home from the office with
me one day? He was so interested
in seeing Dutchie taking me just
where we roomed."
Recall Magazine Article.
We had read about the National
Gallery OF Art not so long ago in our
Braille Readers Digest. Now we
were actually there. We had to wait.
There was the usual Dogs cannot
come in here
Can we leave Dutchie some
where?" Mr.. Walton wondered. But
we never leave her anywhere.
Dutchie likes music too And finally
she was given permission by Sergt.
Wade. chief of guards, to go In.
I listened, fascinated, to the play
of a fountain as I walked with the
others. accompanied by Sergt. Wade,
down to the "other end of the long
hall to see the two busts just placed
here"
I'D like to touch them" I would
say that. But wanted to see them.
I'm afraid you can't" Mr.. Wall
ton, our sailor friend, said, kindly.

the guards saying. "You may touch
them. This is bust OF the Pres

mo, just a lot of it."
"Is he smiling9"
NO" Sergt. Wade said. He looks
determined. Now you must see the
bust of Henry Wallace"
Bust Not Harmed.
And we touched that. too, John
and I. And we know what the two
grand men look like now, and the
busts are not harmed in spite of
our knowing.
We hurried toward the sound of
music now. For the concert had
begun. Such a fine concert by a
part of the National Symphony Or
chestra. All so informal. Mr.. Wal
ton explained it to us during inter-
missions.
There are even people sitting
around the fountain in the center
room," he said. And there are
palms and potted trees
do most of the women wear
hats?" I was bit worried. I did
not wear one.
NO. said Mr.. Walton. "All the
women do not have hats. And
they're dressed in summer colors.
There's fascinating young lady
just to our left wearing a black
dress. She has a nice smile and
seems to like music. A lady down in
front is wearing very pale blue"
Dog Likes Classics.
How Dutchie enjoyed "TschaikoW-
skis Love Song" as DR.. Damrosch
once called it. And how she loved
the overture to "Orpheus." She
didn't care quite so much for the
excerpts from "Of Thee I Sing.
She got up a time or two and turned
around. Otherwise she was very

Roosevelt Says
Public Tires
MayBe5eized
President Declares
Scrop Drive Won't
Solve Problem

The driving future Of Americas
3o,OOO,O00 automobile owners today
was linked with the fortunes OF war.
If the war gets worse, President
Roosevelt told his press conference
yesterday, it may become necessary
to seize privately owned tires.
His remarks underlined anew the
critical nature of rubber supplies
on which the United States must
depend largely to move its troops
and its workers to and from their
Jobs in war industries.
The President held out the hope,
nevertheless, that this drastic step
might be avoided, as we'll as Nation
wide gasoline rationing as a tire
conservation measure. Prospects Of
the latter a few weeks ago stirred
up hornets nest of protest in
Congress which subsidized only after
the start of the rubber scrap col
lection drive.
Nation Is First Concern.
Mr.. Roosevelt said it is already
apparent that scrap, of which 334,-
293 tons had been collected through
July 3, is not cure-all for the
rubber problem The drive, he
added, has not progressed far
enough to determine whether ma
tional gas rationing will be neces-
sary.
He still hopes, the Chief Execu-
tive said, that the gasoline and
rubber problems can be separated.
Mr.. Roosevelt dropped buoyant
mood and grew serious as he en-
phasized that his purpose in consid-
ering these problems is to save the
Nation-not tires or gasoline as such.
The Presidents remarks conceded
with other official actions in the
gasoline and rubber fields.
Motorists on the East Coast were
asked by the Army. Navy and the
petroleum co-ordinator to eliminate
all non-esSential driving, regardless
of the amount allowed on rationing
cards, to make more fuel available
for war workers.
A formal statement said that "driv-
ing as usual" was preventing these
persons from obtaining essential
transportation and that the condi-
ton threatens to hamper seriously
our war production program"
Insignia for Trucks.
The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation, seeking to keep the country's
100000 trucks in good operating
condition, said truck owners will be
permitted to display red, white
and blue insignia if they sign
pledge to follow certain ODT main
tenance rules.
Representative, Ploeser, Republi-
can, of Missouri, member of the
House Special Small Business Com
mittee, criticized in radio address
failure of Government agencies to
determine accurately the number of
new and used tires in the country
until after the committee intro
duced bills demanding such a step.
After seven months of WARMTH
our rubber supply shut off, with all
the talk, and rationing and freezing
orders-no agency of your Govern
ment has yet made a comprehensive
survey to determine how many new
and used tires are actually in the
United States" he declared.
He added that the OPA ordered
such a survey June 80.
I'VE can do something about the
rubber situation if we act, and we
can give some help along the line
to small business" Mr.. Ploeser said,
emphasizing the plight of indepen-
dent tire dealers hard hit by ra-
tioning rules.

denounced in unmeasured terms and
even the President was not spared.
The meeting was decidedly nonparti-
san, the most biting criticisms coming
from loyal New Deal Democrats.
The fireworks were set off by
Representative Boren of Oklahoma,
when he said, 81 received this morn
ing check from refining company
that operates a short distance from
my farm in Oklahoma. Recently that
company secured from me the right
for two years to dump excess gasoline
into the small creek running through
my farm, so as to dispose of the gas
oline which cannot be shipped or
Sold" He then proceeded to explain
that gasoline has become by-pro-
duct of crude oil and that the main
product now derived from crude is
but adiene needed for synthetic rub
Der production.
Representative Bell of Kansas City,
stated that while his district is
situated in the heart of the oil
country, his constituents have been
ordered to change their furnaces
from oil burners to coal, which
would have to be shipped in from a
distance of several hundred miles,
thereby adding two-way load to
the transportation problem. Others
present explained that while 80 per
cent of the crude is transported in
pipelines, coal must be hauled by
rail and requires twice as much space
per heat unit. Pipelines have, in
recent years, been greatly extended
and that is particularly true of the
Mississippi valley. 1t is for this rea-
son so many feel that rationing in
our part of the country is not neces-
Sary.
To make long story short, the
meeting went on record as favoring
the postponement of gasoline and
fuel oil rationing for period of 80
days during which time commission
of experts would 60 into the matter
fully. A committee was appointed
to wait upon the responsible officials
and request that rationing be held
in allegiance until the true situation
can be ascertained.
Congress is not without blame in
this and similar instances. For 10
years it has surrendered to the execu-
tive, power after power until it has
stripped itself of much of the author
ity that it is supposed to have under
the Constitution. In this connection
it will interest my readers to know
that the Ways and Means committee
last week tabled the request of the
President that he be given the power
to suspend all tariff and immigration
laws for the duration of the war. A
committee was appointed to draft a
greatly modified measure which is
to be in effect for only one year.

war NEWS
By Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Pine county didn't do so bad in
the scrap drive, coming in 10th place
over the state, considering that we
live in the cut-over area where farms
are comparatively small and where
heavy power driven machinery hasn't
been the rule.
We haven't even had the advantage
of scrap such as condemned bridges
or industrial centers which have
upped the quotas for many counties.
Many Americans made the mistake
of shipping lot of scrap to the Axis
in the three years from 1887 to 1910,
but in three months America has COL
lected seven times that much scrap
and it's for the Axis, but not in the
shape they want it.
BY the time this goes to press, the
bedlam of shooting will be over and
the 1912 deer season will be history.
Schools that closed for the "dura-
ton" are to be commended because
there isn't anything that can take the
place of the loss of loved one
Thousands of deer have been trans
ported out of the county, while hun
dreds of local hunters didn't get their
deer. Many deer has ruined or
badly damaged farmers crops, caus-
ing farmers great loss of feed or
cash. Thrifty farmers can't be out
hunting early at morn or at dusk
because of chores, so he doesn't have
the advantages of visiting hunter.
A days crack at hunting deer before
the official opening would compen-
safe for devastation of corn, ruta-
bagas, potatoes and alfalfa.
Coffee supplies in grocers stock
are frozen this week-but who wants
frozen coffee anyway?
We will probably appreciate it all
the more because of the rationing.
A truly thankful person is not always
the one that gets everything he wants,
but the one that wants (and ikes)
what he gets.
Most farmers are thankful for
good harvest-truly bounteous
plenty when compared to the near
famine of much of the world. We
will want to express the spirit of this
years Thanksgiving by serving
simpler meal than usual-abundan
but not lavish.
An Askov farm woman recently
pedaled six miles to town and six
miles back home again-on bicycle.
That's a way to get around rubber
rationing-and get around.
