Hartfrd, Conn.,, April 20-(UP)- Tn State Legislative Council meets today to decide whether special session of the general assembly will be necessary to revise Connecticut's absentee voting law to comply with federal regulations governing the use of ballots by servicemen.
 The present state law, amended by a special session of the legis- lature in January, makes no pro- vision for accepting and counting of federal ballots. Gov. Baldwin was of the opinion that to legalize use of the federal ballots another special session would be necessary. The council also was to consider a recommendation that the general assembly enact 8 law desigating specific speeds on highways. Pres ent statutes provide for conviction of motorists driving at "unreason- able" rates of speed, and early this week the cases of two drivers, con- victed of operating at 45 and 60 miles an hour, were dismissed on appeals to superior court because the law failed to provide that 45 and 60 miles an hour were "unrea- SOnable."
 The governor planned to appear before the council and ask consid- eration of an all-inclusive minimum wage law which would permit the labor commissioner, after public hearings, to set minimum wages in certain industries whose present scales were considered inadequate.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
J. VI. b.: My husband and have
been arguing n point for quite
some time: here it is: Does Cod
Liver Oil act as n lubricant Of the
bowel, and is it habit forming?
Answer: You are having o typi-
cal matrimonial argument. You
are arguing just TO argue. because
Cod Liver Oil is not supposed to be
n lubricant or meant for the bow
els at all. Ii is given to furnish the
baby with Nitamin ID. Do you
mean mineral oil? IL so 1t is a
lubricant and is not habit forming.
G.. 3. r.: Does a child with
light case of asthma who is taking
treatments for it have to go to
different climate?
Answer: Children usually out
grow asthma and it is probable
that staying in the climate where
they got it produces immunity.
