in long evening frock Of blue taf

room where her mother and l were
knitting.
Ready, Mumsy-take look be-

tossed a head of fair curls and
wheeled round, a white fur wrap
over her arm. She laughed deep

after that to a cabaret-for eats

You won't be home until"
"No, Mumsy, not until-you see
me! Don't worry. Bill will take
care of me. Here he is now!".
When the happy pair had gone
we two mothers sat quiet.
Il can't get used to these late
nights-parties after parties, caba-
rets after shows and all the rest!"
Leila's mother spoke out. Il go to
bed, but never sleep until Leila
comes in"
Il feel the same about Ethel and
Bert" 1 replied. But to some ex-
tent I've solved the problem"
How? Tell mel"
Il leave provisions for a little
party by our own fireside. When 1

the reading lamp turned low and
an old kettle near that goes right
into the fire and boils quickly for
tea, coffee or cocoa, as they please.
A few dainty sandwiches and cakes
are handy in the pantry. My young
people do not always come here
after the show, but they know this
little feast of warmth and refresh
ment waits for them. 1t is one ans
wer to the question, What shall
we do now%"
Don't they disturb the house,
coming in like that go late at
night?" asked Mrs. Dent.
Milford chronicle., 1942-11-13

mo Perhaps Ethel and Bert are
bit choosy about those they bring
for they are considerate. AS soon
as they come in. I'm relieved. like
: to know they're safe, to hear their
soft laughter and then to get whiffs
of coffee or cocoa"
Mrs, Dent spoke again. What do
you think of this pettingsin parked
cars that we read so much about?"
Its too distressing to dwell
upon. / wonder if the same sort of
thing went on when we were
young"
"If so it didn't touch us" smiled
Mrs. Dent. 1--WE weren't that kind" ="
I'm hoping our children aren't
that kind either Seems to me about
all we can do is to continue to help
them cultivate high ideals, and then
trust them-they must face life
alone"
1--WE might insist upon having
them home at certain time--don't
you think?" asked Leila's mother.
Not rigidly. But matters will
right themselves, believe. My two
are a little older than Leila. AL
ready Bert finds that his studies
suffer after a late highland he's
keen on getting that scholarship.
Ethel, too, is showing more sense,
but they've always been busy young
people"
"Then there is this boy-friend
and girl-friend business, in place
of being engaged-as in our day"
Mrs. Dent changed needles in the
blue knitting.
"The new way is better-gives
young people a better chance to
know each other, and if they wish,
to drop the friendship without for
mality. A good girl has wonder
full influence over a boy-he strives
to live up to her ideal of him"
Same for a girl" smiled Leila's
mother. After all we must credit
some sort of good sense to our sons
and daughters. Surely what is alb
horrent to us must be the same to

of their lives. Anyway it has done
me good to talk with you tonight"

The District Health Officer, DR..
George c. Rutland, has been called
to appear before the House District
Committee at 10 am. tomorrow to
answer charges made at a hearing
Yesterday that the District Health
Department lacks authority to cor
rect unsanitary slum conditions.
Chairman Randolph said he is de-
termined to find out what the situa-

At the hearing yesterday before
the House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds on the Good
willie plan to rehabilitate nine blocks
in the slum area in Southwest
Washington, John Ihlder, executive
officer of the Alley Dwelling ALL
thority, stated that slum conditions
exist because the city's sanitary
regulations are not sufficiently strict.
He explained that the present law
deals principally with new con-
struction and pointed out that out
door toilets and unsanitary condi-
tions In old houses might be elimi-
mated by stricter regulations.
If the District is without proper
sanitary regulations. the matter has
never been brought to the atten-
ton of Congress. Mr. Randolph said

Saturday Evening Post Editor
Quit to Become Rowing Reporter

Curtis Publishing Co. said the edi-
torial policy Of the Post would re-
feet the personal attitude of its new
editor.
Wesley Stout and I are the best
kind of personal friends" he said,
"and I don't want to talk about our
differences. But it has been specu-
lated that our disagreement arose
from our political viewpoints. That
was not the case"
Nevertheless, it was noted that the
editorials OF the other Curtis maga-
zines. the Ladies' Home journal and
the Country Gentleman, have been
more belligerent than those of the
Post. often called "isolationist" in
the past.
A possible clue was seen in an
editorial Mr. Hibbs wrote for the
Country Gentleman last month. 1t
stated: 'Reverses suffered in the
early months Of the war are a
tragic testimony TO the unrealistic
attitude which we Americans have
held toward the world at large.

BY the Associat Press.
Senator McKellar. Democrat. of
Tennessee asserted in the Senate
today that charges made against
the Ed Crurnp political organization
of Memphis by Silliman Evans,
newspaper publisher. were "wilfully.
deliberately malicious and wickedly
untrue"
Mr. Evans, who is publisher of the
Nashville Tennesseean and the Chi
cago Sun, told a Senate subcommit-
tee yesterday that poll tax laws had
permitted Mr.. CrHznp to build such
a political organization that it was
almost impossible to defeat Crump-
supported Candidate in Tennessee.
Declaring that the Crump group
o,nended in no way on the payment
OF poll taxes to keep its organization
intact, Senator McKellar said Mr..
Crump had built up splendid po-
litical organization in Memphis
which brooks no cheating or dis
honesty" The effectiveness of the
organization, he went on. was due
to Mr.. Crump's mastery leadership,
courage. fair and square dealing and
winning personality"
Senator Stewart, Democrat, of
Tennessee Endorsed every word"

Army kaferie| Unit
For Ground Forces
Put Under One Head
Gen. Moore to Have
Full Responsibility
For All Branches

Maj. Gen. R. C. Moore, deputy
chief of staff, has been given ab-
solute responsibility under the
recent reorganization of the gen.
eral staff for all matters per-
tanning to materiel for the Army
ground forces, the War Depart
ment announced today.
His appointment, according to a
spokesman for the department, is
designed to end the confusion that
has existed heretofore under the
setup whereby the chiefs Of infantry,
cavalry and field artillery all had
equal control and voice in provid-
ing materiel for the ground arms.
The former administrative duties Of
the chiefs Of these three branches,
it was explained, now will come
under the direct authority OF Gen.
Moore.
Gen. Moore, the announcement
added, actually will head a subdi-
vision Of the General Staff. similar
to that placed under Maj. Gen
Courtney Hodges, who has direct
control over all Army personnel
matters. training and the various
Army schools.
The War Department also re-
vealed that Maj. Gen. William,
Dryden, acting deputy chief of staff
will be transferred to Atlanta to
command the 4th Corps Area. sue
ceeding Maj Gen. John P. Smith,
as yet unassigned to other duties.
The transfer, which probably will
be effective Monday, is another re-
suit of the reorganization.
