Mrs. Mary La Roux, who lived in Paris during it's occupation, address ed members of the Waterbury Jun for League at 8 meeting last night at The Elton.
 Mrs. La Roux, who was living in New York and was engaged to a soldier in the French army when war was declared in 1889, went over- seas with a Red Cross ambulance unit. Landing in Belgium, she help ed evacuate refugee, 12 miles behind the Maginot line.

THE SITUATION: Your five or six-year- is having a birthday party.
 WRONG WAY: You go to the door to invite the young guests into the house, leaving your child to play with the children already present.
 RIGHT WAY: Have your child greet his guests at the door and you stand by without interference un- less some situation arises in which you have to take hand. (There is no better way to teach a child the duties of being a host or hos tess than by giving him a chance to act as such at his own parties.)

Bond-Selling Plan

Rep. Richard p, Gale OF Mime.
sofa has plan for increasing bond
sales to individual citizens --the sales
which it is most important to make.
He thinks it is a cheap and easy
way for the government to increase
sales and interest in sales on the
part Of the average man. Senator
Guffey offered a similar plan.
Periodically, at intervals not
greater than three months, he would
have the treasury make a drawing.
And the person holding the winning
number--he would be a bondholder,
Of course, would get prize of from
a hundred to rs thousand dollars.
It wouldn't be a lottery because
nobody could lose--you would have
your bond for the money you invest.
ed and your bond would be your
ticket.

The root of the whole trouble in
this and all the labor disputes has
been that there were too many
cooks. The trouble with the confus-
ing statements which come out OF
Washington is that there are too
many cooks. And yet, we have that
paradox that when there are too
many people handling war prob

to substitute too few--to pass the
buck to one mantle President. The
answer to that Is that one man

The war is too far away from us.
