And speaking of hope not dying in the human breast there's the hope of New Londoners that opening of the new high way bridge across the Thames won't mean they can't have structure, too, that won't demand tolls. At any rate there's bill in the Legislature now to keep the old New London -Groton high way bridge open and toll-free to July 1, 1945 Of course New London is lucky the old bridge still stands. Under the contract for the new one the old bridge was SUD- posed to have been torn down by the time the new span was being used. Good they didn't start to demolish it in view Of building delays.

 Another interesting character is, Baron Frary von BlOmberg, Boston contact for the League, who aroused furor before 8 Long Island Rotary Club when

The 1943 Legislature gets the job of starting .once again a series of proposed constitutional changes on their long way towards adoption The bills seeking num- erous changes were introduced last week. If approved they wait two more years for a second O. k. and submission to the cleo tors. It's a slow process and unfortunate someone muffed up and technicality has delayed them two full years.

 As desperate hope I write to ask whether you can offer any sug- gestion at all which might bring respite from prllritus vllvae. I have suffered now for a year and have consulted physicians and spec- ialists with little benefit.
 (Mrs. c. w)
 AnSwer-Send stamped self-ad- dressed envelope for monograph on Pruritus (itching without apparent skin trouble). If there is any dis charge 8 douche of very weak zinc chloride solution at night is advis- able. Physicians treat such pruritus successfully with injections into the affected skin, and in inenopausal pruritis hormone (estrogen) in tramuscuar injections may bring relief.
 SinuSitis
 It rained four days and I just couldn't breathe. Have had sinus trouble several years. Acts like hay fever or 8 constant head cold. Specialists treatment gave no last. ing benefit. Noticed article of yours about calcium as remedy and potas. sium for symptomatic relief. Begar using them as described in your pamphlets. It worked like magic never before had experienced such relief May God bless you.
 (EI. S.)
 Answer-C Continue to do so, say. Cad has heen blessing me ever since stopped stealing birds eggs which did when got this tin ear. My suggestions that victmis of chronic (long standing) sinus trouble or what purportS to be "sinus trouble" hoop their daily calcium ration and always keep on hand some soluble potassium to take for synnptomatic relief, is based mainly on reports I have received from great many such sufferers. On request I'll send any one who provides stamped self-addressed enc velope the pamphlet "The Calcium Shortage which tells about diet and calcium feeding. If you want also the pamphlet Relief for Allergy," which tells how to use soluble potassium, inclose ten cents addi. tional-that is, either pamphlet alone is free but for both incloSe ten cents with stamped addressed envelope.

For instance the West Kyska, an aged tub owed by the Water man Steamship company of Mo- bile, is valued at only $8,139. Yet between May, 1941, and June, 1942, she made various trips to the Red Sea for which she. was paid the not insignificant sum of $325, ,165 per trip. In other words the average gross income of the
 West Kyska was almost 4,000 per cent.
 Incidentally the Waterman Steamship company appears es- pecially favored by the govern. ment. For fortnight Controller General Lindsay Warren has found that this company, after buying five vessels from the Maritime Commission for only $596,0O0, la ter sold five older ships back to the Maritime Commission for $3,- 374,700.
 This. however, was only part of 1t. The Waterman company had @ total of 12 ships, including the West Kyska, with an aggregate book value of $786, APP, on which the Waterman company received an average gross income of $S,S42,- 669-or about 450 per cent-for in- dividual trips to Red Sea ports, carrying supplies to the British. Of course, wartime insurance rates zoomed and seamen's wages were sky high, but even so Red Sea profits look lush.

SOMETHING SWEET FOR MORN

 SOMETHING SWEET FOR MORN
 ING NAUSEA
 Thanks a million for your Sug. gestion of something sweet late at night and first thing in the morn- ing to combat the nausea of pre- gnancy. Before my daughter was born I spent about one-third Of the time eating and two-thirds of the time uneating, if you know what I mean.
 Last Saturday morning I had my first morning sickness in connection with our currently anticipated Off- spring, Sunday morning before I got out of bed I popped a lollypop into my mouth and sucked on 1t for 8 while and did not experience any nausea. Since then I've worked it down to the point where one piece of hard candy taken last thing at night and immediately on walking in the morning keeps every
 (AGrs. D. W. F.)
 A moderate amount of sugar, candy, sweets or sweet fruit (orange, ripe banana, grapes, raisinS, dates, figs, cannede peaches, applesacucel taken late at night and again first thing in the morning before r1ov- ing out of bed, will prevent or re- lieve morning sickness in many cases.
 From a good many letters from expectants and from browsing in all kinds of current medical Ntera- ture, I gather that something else os of great value in preventing or controlling this and other symptoms or complications of pregnancy, namely, an adequate daily intake of vitamin B complex. If the ex- pectant mother takes more sugar in any form than she ordinarily takes, there si still more urgent need of vitamin B complex to Sup- plement her diet. Moreover, 1t will not only do her good, but 1t will as certainly be beneficial to her baby. Ideal for the expectant mother with morning nausea is pleasantly favored syrup of vitamin B corl- plex, of which a teaSpoonful g day provides a fair account of all the components of the B complex group and a small dose of manganese and iron gluconate, two teaspoonfuls daily a better amount.

War Paintings
On Exhibition

The Washington County Museum
of Fine Arts, City Park, is showing
for several weeks two-part exhibit
ton: "A Contrast of Two Wars"
comprised of "Army in Maneuvers"
and From the Trenches, World
War l."
The first mentioned, "Army in
Maneuvers," is a group of sixteen
water-colors by Arthur Beaumont.
Mr.. Beaumont describes his trek af-
ter the u. S. Army maneuvers in or
der to render its period of strenuous
training in paint in the November
number of the National Geographic
Magazine. The paintings themselves
are reproduced in the same number
of that magazine. Rendered in
crisp firm style, the watercolors re-
cord every detail of the movements
of men, tanks, and planes, in prepar-
alton for real action.
The second group of paintings,
From the Trenches, World War l."
is much more intimate rendering
of the actions and consequences of
war. Painted by Stanley Wilson
between the years of 1914 and 1918
when he served with the British Elk
peditionary Force in France and
Flanders, these are records of the
artists personal emotions at the
sights and sounds around him.
In addition to these two exhibits,
there is displayed in the Print room
of the Museum some records of
Young Americas reaction to the
present conflict. A group of draw
ings in pencil and crayon by mem
bers of last seasons Story Hour
Class, these tell their story clearly
Museum hours are: Mondays,
closed. Week days, except Monday,
10 a. m. to p. m. Sundays and hol-
idays, during the warm months,

The writer of this column appreci-
ates very much the receipt of the
following letter from a Funkstown
reader who is interested in 1.-THE
Horse and Buggy Days." which we
frequently see coming back in these
days of war and consequent scarcity
of gasoline and tires:
Editor Globe Independent and
Old Lamplighter: I have had six
autos and some as fast as any on the
road. I received a drivers license
in 1921; have never been in a
wreck or ever paid fine in all these
years. Because I had an auto, did
not think had right to bump the
other fellow to get him to see me,
and until a few weeks back 1 still
had my horse and buggy, and pre-
fer them now to an auto for the fol-
lowing reasons, in verse:
sOh horse, you are a wondrous
thing,
No horns to honk, no bells to ring.
No sparks to miss, no gears to strip;
You start yourself, no clutch to slip.
No anti-freeze to test each day,
To steal the joy of life away.
Your spark plugs never miss or fuss;
Your motor never makes us cuss.
Your frame is good for many mile,
Your body never changes style
Your wants are few, and easy met
You've something on the truck as
yet.
"Signed-A Funkstown Reader"
