EXCEEDED AUTHORITY

Judge Carr, declaring that the
commission has no power to order
the Bell refund, ruled that If such
were the case the commission also
could order retroactive increases.
But, he said, the legislative act
defining the powers of the commits
sion do not so specify.
The commission had referred to
a 1889 act of the Legislature as its
authority for the order. The COM
pany appealed on the ground that
the commission had exceeded its
authority.

suppose ours was the first barn in
the world that didn't cost more than
the amount originally planned.
When, finally, the barn was up, we
didn't have enough money to paint
1t. But, Nellie Logan turned the hens
loose on the job. BY that I mean
she had to take her egg money and
turn it into paint. But at last, Nellie
and the hens and painted the barn!
I built that barn by mail and in
my imagination. They told me the
day the first load of lumber would
be hauled and I was on that load
Of lumber; they told me the day the
slushers would arrive and saw them
taken out to the barn lot. They
told me when the head carpenter
would arrive, and I saw him put on
his apron and drop his hammer in
the loop on his leg. AS the barn
progressed, they sent me snapshots
OF it, and I watched it grow. I was
like a father thousand miles from
the hospital. But at last it was born
ywhite-and-blue- trim child. Some
way or other raised the money to
60 out and see it, and Spide was
down to meet me, as Pa used to
be, and we climbed into his car. We
came in from the east side of the
farm and, when we topped the hill,
there was the barn shimmering in
the sunlight. At least, it seemed

different from what had expected

was, fine white, stanch, center

I hated the farm. 1t was taking

yet there was still lingering love
for it, as one might have for a per-

For the first time in its existence
our town saw people lining up before
our banks demanding their money.
Two of the banks closed and people
went on relief. A word my father
had never heard. The Salvation
Army played on the streets where it
had never played before. Knots of
farmers, in patched clothes, stood on
corners. Food was doled out in the
basement of the church where Billy

Europe Needs Our Old Clothes

Millions of people in war-devastat-

only of food but of clothing. Until
factories can be set up in these ma
tons, we in this one country that has
not suffered devastation must give

particularly knit goods are urgently
needed, as well as serviceable

that pieces of matching cloth and
spool of thread be included with

husband in no uncertain terms.
Unnoticed by her, a party Of
acquaintance approached within

more than a mean skunk! OF all the
low-down, Shiny snakes, I think
you are the worst! Why you are

Suddenly noticing the people
who had just arrived, the husband,

see Austin spoiled and good little
Deirdre ignored, when I hear moth
ing but criticism, it is really hard
to bear. Austin takes the attitude
that wiser mother would not have
these troubles, and perhaps he is
right. want to show him every
consideration, but I confess l am a
failure, and stumped, and don't
know what to do"
This is one of the many postwar
cases that demands the ultimate in
self-control, patience-and humor.
Yes, l mean huInor, for Margaret
is taking this much too hard. 1t is
impossible to undo in a day or
week, or even a year, the mischief
done by war conditions and home
compromises.
Let Papa Deal With Son.
Austin will gradually be restored
to normality if all causes of fric-
ton are removed from the domestic
scene, and the easiest and quickest
way to remove them is to surrender
to his father full responsibility for
David. Reduce yourself to an ami
able onlooker. If David won't eat
and won't 60 to school, don't even
report it to Austin; let your hus-
band see it for himself. Let the child
sit up as late as he likes, always be-
ing amiable and kind, and wait for
the first corrections to come from
the man of the house. Let him play
hockey until the teacher comes to
complain. Ignore his affection of
not having any appetite at meals,
and reduce your relationship with
him to amusing and affectionate
companionship.
Several other cases of exactly this
type have come to my notice in the
past few years; the prevalence of
divorce of course has created many
of them. In every case which 1
have known, this aloof, friendly, un-
concerned attitude taken by the STEP
mother happily solved the problem
for all concerned. In most cases
the right school was found for the
difficult child.
Hes your son, Austin. only
want him to love me-" is the un-
answerable argument.

1 VI in England three
months ago." writes Margaret
Jones from Canada. ''He was
four years in active duty and
eleven months in a hospital. His
injury was cranial, and is entire
ly cured. When he left, his son
by a previous marriage, David,
was two years old, and I was ex-
pecting my first baby.
II was my husbands office nurse,
at the time of his first wife's death,
and we had discovered a deep af-
lection for each other. This was,
however, kept completely under con-
troll. l am telling you the exact
truth when I say that, after the one
first talk when we admitted our feel
ings, not one word or look passed be-
tween us that could be criticized.
His wife was delicate and nervous
woman, and whether she actually
took an overdose of sleeping tablets,
or whether a normal dose was too
much for weak heart, never was
ascertained. The coroner called it
death from accidental causes. A few
months later Austin and I were mar
ried, little David accepting his new
mother very placidly.
"Then Austin went off to war and
Deirdre was born-a lovely, sweet
tempered little girl and I lived very
quietly during the first war years,
l managing to do part-time work,
and to clear the mortgage from our
little home and Austin's mother iv-
ing with us and managing house
and children. She has now gone to
live with daughter.
Unmanageable David.
"There was the usual rejoicing
when Austin returned, and he was
fortunately able to assume his old
work at an even higher salary, so
that we could be quite comfortable
if it were not for David, now nearly
seven. He is strange, unmanage-
able little boy, with something I'M
canny in his instinct for annoying
and outwitting his teachers and my
self. seem to be eternally cor
recting him, or complaining of him,
position in which I hate to find
myself. I've always liked children,
and for our two I've always tried
to plan intelligently, forgiving much,
not hearing impudence, not forcing
issues, substituting the pleasant pos
tive for the disagreeable negative
when l could.
"Austin criticizes my attitude to-
ward David. Austin has come back
in a nervous, irritable mood hard
to endure, but it is mostly where
David is concerned that the trouble
arises. David will not eat his din
ner, do his homework, go to bed, take
his bath when ask him to. l try
good-natured coaxing, give him five
more minutes, remind that he can
float his submarine in the bath, cook
what he likes. He will never CO.
operate, and Austin blames me, and
sides with the child. To make it
worse, my husband reverts to the
past, thinks that perhaps Elsie did
kill herself, perhaps she discovered
the affection between us, perhaps
he was the real cause of her death.
"An this has turned our home into
a place of discomfort, petty quar-
rels, carping, nerves. I want to do
my duty by all three, but when I
