Municipal employees TO-DAY are
continuing work for the city with
the hope that revision OF the labor
agreement proposed by city council
may be brought about on a bass

issues involved will he sought.
The union is seeking three ad-
iustments: increased wages for
the caretaker at the city dump; re.
classification of three men in the
sewer construction department;
and change from a flat wage rate
TO an hourly basis for two employees
in the gas department.
The offer of the city is 10 give

who want them but TO stand by

ployes at the beginning OF the fiscal
year. Council members stated that
they did not feel they could ask
the taxpayers to contribute more
money than has already been offer

To provide more funds the union
representative pointed out that in
one department there is a manager

gested that the work be done by
the assistant manager al a slight
increasce in salary and the funds
remaining be used to adjust claims

is reflected in the growth OF par

Of such vital issues as postwar air

II is no mere coincidence that
parliamentarians are directing
sharp-edged questions to govern
ment officials on what Britain's
shipping position will be after the
war with possibly 100000 tons
compared to a minimum 20,OOO,OOO
United States tons. This espe-
cially is worrisome since American
ships will be much newer and more
efficient cargo carriers than the
remnants of the once-proud Red
Buster fleet.
Best Air Service
The same worry lies behind the
anxious inquiries regarding United
States air transport after the war.
1t now is obvious the American
Air Transport Corps will emerge
with the worlds most experienced
and best equipped transport service.
Other vital questions concern the
retention Of certain portions Of enc.

the government whether it may not
be necessary for Britain to retain

Combating Wiles of Designing Secretary

i Dear Miss Dix: What should be
the wifes attitude when she sees her
husbands assistant playing up to him
and plainly showing that she is out
to get him? Mine works for a large
company that does the hiring and
firing, SO there Is no chance of solv-
ing the problem by his dismissing
her as long as she does her work
efficiently.
My husband is no saint, but I be-
lieve he loves me. We have been
married just over a year, yet day
| after day he and the girl are work.
ing together in a small offce-well
wonder? I have stopped going to
the Office almost entirely as it up
sets me so much whenever I see her
and her methods But I have never
said a. word to my husband and have
tried to keep my feelings to myself.
Is there any tried recipe for how
wife should conduct herself in such
situation? DOLORES.
Answer-You seem to have in
stinctively chosen the better way,
and can only commend your cour-
age and your wisdom and urge you
to keep on using the same technique
in dealing with the situation.
1t never gets wife anywhere to
be suspicious and weepy and make
scenes and accuse her husband of
double-crossing her. For, In the
first place, her suspicious may be
groundless. She may think that she
is seeing things that she only imag-
ined. but that became realities when
she puts them into words.
Many a mans first intimation
that his secretary was making
passes at him has come from his
wife. He had never noticed her little
by-plays-but when his wife called
his attention to it-well, 1t isn't in
a mans nature not to be fattered.
And, in the second place, If your
husband really is being true to you,
it will infuriate him beyond meas
ure for you to accuse him of some
thing he has never done. He is put
ting on an act of shining virtue, and
instead of your applauding it and
admiring him for it, you doubt its
being genuine. So what's the use of
being Joseph If he is not going to
get any credit for it, he asks.
So there you are between the devil
and the deep blue sea, and all you
can do is to pit your charms against
the other woman's in the immemo-
rial battle of the wife and the
temptress. Just remember that the
wife has always the better weapons.
She has the fact that her husband

doctor Should
Give Formula
Infant
By Leffice Lee Street,

Among my acquaintances are two
thriving and very young people, q
boy and girl, each aged months.
The girl baby drinks almost i've
ounces Of milk at . feeding-but the
little boy is asleep by the time he
has finished three and a half ounces.
Both are gaining steadily-and their
mothers can well be proud Of such
healthy babies.
Yet If the mother Of the boy knew
that another baby the same age was
drinking so much more milk at each
feeding she might become worried,
and wonder If her infant son was
getting all the food he needed.
I am so glad that she does not
even know the little girls mother
because comparing babies of the
same age is a trouble-brewing busi-
ness and not at all fair to the
moppets In question!
When an infant Is gaining salts
factorily you can be well assured that
he Is eating sufficiently. Infants vary
q great deal as to the amounts OF
food they will take, never forget
that! And do not try to force your
baby to eat more than he should
just because Mrs. Jones' baby ap-
parently laps up twice as much as
yours does. Chances are Mrs. Jones
is overfeeding her child-and the
infantile ills that can follow this
maternal indiscretion can be many
and extremely serious.
Most babies thrive on the four
hour schedule, which should be regu-
larly followed, and the baby should
not be fed in between the hours
set for his routine. The four-hour
schedule for the average healthy in
FAINT is regarded with high favor
by most pediatricians because it
allows the infants stomach about
an hours interval for rest-it takes
a baby about three hours to digest
a feeding.
A baby should be awakened when
feeding time comes, except at in
the morning. Doctors vary about
when an infant should be weaned
from this early morning feeding
but If a baby is husky and gaining
1t is even omitted before the third
week Of life in some cases.
A mother should not depend upon
any literature that gives formulas
for the artificial feeding OF infants
II she can possibly find a doctor
to advise her. Our Government
urges mothers to take their babies
to visit pediatrician once month
until the first birthday. 1t is es-
sential to infant health that feeding
formulas be correct-and the for
mulas need frequent adjusting ac-
cording to increase in weight. AS
no two babies are exactly alike, you
can well understand that it is risky
business to blindly select printed
formulas for a baby according to
his age alone. Weight, age and
general health, as well as individual
needs, must be prescribed for pro-
fessionally If an infant is to be given
the finest start on the road to fu-
ture health.

drizzly, foggy weather might slow
up the interior drying and would

Dear Miss Novel;: We have just
bought house which we do not like.
But 1t was necessary to live some
where and we hope that we may
be able to work some modern charm
into our outmoded surroundings.
The house is well built and has had
good care but it is of the dark
woodwork era with wall spaces
broken up badly.
Can you give us some general ad-
vice on how and where to start to
make changes?
1t will be necessary that we do
most of the work ourselves. Ar
ugly mottled brick fireplace with
a heavy overmantel Is one eyesore.
Light fixtures are another. The
windows are small and insignificant.
Also the house is submerged in trees
and shrubbery so that the living
room Is dark and full of green
light. Mrs. E. S.
Answer-First of all have the
shrubbery trimmed back or removed
to reasonable proportions so that
you will get the amount of light
you want inside the house.
After that make a list of the an
noying details you wish removed.
The overmantel might be completely
removed, the point where the bricks
meet the wall be trimmed with a
simple moulding or quarter-round.
If there are too many doors Gas there
are so often in the houses of this
era) see which ones might be per-
manently closed. This will help to
give you nice wall spaces.
Painting over all the dark wood
work in house of this type is very
much of job. It takes a priming
coat and at least two finish coats.
A nice effect may be assured if you
will use the color of the woodwork
as part of the color scheme and play
up to it. For instance, if it is a
deep rich brown use drapery mate
rial at the windows which has this
same deep brown tone on a white
or light background. Then paint
the walls a clear butter yellow, Go
the ceiling this color also. Use a
middle toned rug which is not too
light to be impractical but reflects
golden tone into the room. Then
point up with another warm color
such as vermillion or rose red in
upholstery fabrics. Small spots of
both blue and green may be used
around the room to set off the
warm colors. In this way you will
lose much of the cold green light
which is so trying.
Windows may be made more i'm
portant by setting the draperies
back on the wall and raising a val
ance above the upper frame. Garry
the draperies all the way to the
floor to give Importance to the
drapery fabric.
Old light fixtures may be re-
moved, the ends of the wires taped
off and either plate or plaster used
to fill the opening in the wall or
ceiling. Use this procedure all the
way through the house.
Eliminate all the eyesores that
embarrassingly date your house.
Superimpose good color and mod
ern arrangement on your back
ground.
