 Anyway, Margaret Truman, dressed in black chiffon and or chids looked lovely and had love- ly time. And when someone asked , Where are your father and moth CT tonight?' she replied little pittingly: "Oh, they're just sitting at home alone" That is one penalty of being President. You can't go out to dinner; other peo- pie must come to dine with you. SIXTEEN IMPRISONED POLES
 Though the Harry Hopkins-Josef Stalin talks at the Kremlin are still a closely guarded secret, one significant detail has now been transmitted back to the Diplomatic Corps.
 Hopkins naturally raised the question of the 16 Poles who had surrendered to the Russians with the idea that they were to discuss the formation of new Polish government, but who since then have been imprisoned. Stalin ad- mitted that not all Is were im- plicated in any charge of work ing against the Red Army. He also admitted that the only charge was of working against the Red Army. He also admitted that the only charge against them was that they had used secret radio to contact London.
 However, Stalin pointed to the possibility of the Poles passing valuable information on to the Germans who were at that time monitoring all broadcasts. He said that only those believed guilty would be tried, and that the others would be liberated soon. Stalin did not specify the number to date.

The many English children who were housed and educated in this country during the past few years have been re- turned to their homeland Many of them are presently becoming acclimated, para doxically, at home, when they were just becoming acclimated in our own cities. While here they enjoyed the American way of life, the modern plumbing, the modern appliances and the American slang. Now that they are returned to their own homes of comfort, if not brass piping, they will soon fit in to their orig inal way of life, more casual and calm, perhaps.

We cannot oorn- pete with foreign markets. what H wanted is our markets wide open so that they are benefited oy flood ing our markets.
 The strange part of the fight on the reciprocal trade act is the line up of Republicans nearly to a man to oppose the set, and all Demo- crats in support of it. It's false economy for Free Trade advocates, to believe that international coop eration, will result from foreign manufacturer, or he will be in fa- vor of united world. Because an advocate of protective tariff is vici- ferrous in opposition to free trade act, that fact does not necessarily indicate he or they are isolationists as a body. The Republicans have always favored U. S. of America.
 The Democrat party as a majority have always been party of reac- tionists, since the Civil War-1861- 65, and its party policies are in evil dence by their advocacy of extend- ing and expanding the reciprocal trade agreement act. Those rallying to support the trade free act, are representative of those to be least affected by tn substance of the act. Labor unions should be in opposi- tion to free trade, as they will be affected.

ARMY SHAKE-UP

hfGIvI1 I SuAAL-OH
 During the Roosevelt Admins tration one sure way to top pro- motion in the army was through General Pa" Watson, the late presidents genial military aide and secretary. Pa, whom every body loved, but who had a hard time getting through West Point, had a host of Army friends and he did not forget them.
 One of those friends is Virgil l.. Peterson. It was Peterson who coached Pa in West Point and finally got him thorugh wtiht he graduating class of 1908. Peterson graduated the same year.
 So more than 30 years later, Pa Watson, then in the White House, didn't forget his friend. Virgil Peterson became Inspector General of the Army with the rank of major general-a most important post.
 But now some of Watson's classmates of 1908 are finding themselves out in the cold, and General Peterson is going to be one of them. Not brilliant success, he is being dropped as Inspector General.
 NOTE: Most people don't re- alize it. but General George Mar shall largely owes his appoint ment as chief of staff to Pa Wat son and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. Watson was a staunch Virginian. Marshall then only a colonel was Virginia Military h. stitute graduate. Senator Glass at Pa Watson gave the push neces sary to put Marshall over the heads of General Hugh Drum, who had the backing of Jim Farley and General John L. Dewitt.

THE ITCH GOES AROUND IN
 SPRING. TRA-LA

When my -year-old daughter
 broke out with itch (wrtes a read-
 ed from up north-she does not exss plan how she knew the child had itch-scabies, 8 three-syllable %or0
 pronounced ska-bi-eZ, accent on tnq skaj I rubbed her with sulfur and lard for two weeks. Seeing she was getting worse instead of better I gave her one-half teaspoonful oe sulfur and jelly the first and fourth day and she was relieved and her skin cleared beautifully. Would 10 be good policy to give her this tonic every spring? (Mrs. B. H. If the child had the itch (scab-
 ies) it Is unlikely that merely rub.
 ping with sulfur and lard would cure the disease. although 1t might irritate the skin and aggravate
 whatever the primary skin trouble
 may be. Of course, If the trouble

 a good deal is not scabies.
 Scabies old fashioned "sevene year" itch, properly treated can be
 cured in twenty-four hours. Being due to the itch mite, a minute ina sect barely visible to the naked eye,
 which burrows n the skn and de-
 posits it's eggs in the burrows, 1t IS
 highly contagious through direct
 contact or contact with obpects
 which have been contaminated by a person with the disease-clothing, papers. books, toilet articles, hats Crying on), doorknobs, hanging straps, chair arms, etc.
 The diagnosis of scabies is not
 easy unless the physician is fanil-
 jar with 1t and on the alert. One reason why the itch goes around in the spring and early summer is that case has escaped recognition and the patient innocently carries the disease into community where he or she goes to work or play.
 It is doubtful whether any new. fangled remedy or treatment for the itch is superior to sulfur oirlt- ment, provided this is properly
 used. Sulfur ointment is not just sulfur and lard, but the official U. s. P. sulfur ointment containing
 approximately 15To sulfur and the sulfur is extinguished so finely
 incorporatd in the ointment base
 that no particle can be seen or felt
 with the fingers At least half a pound of the ointment is necessary.
 First a prolonged hot bath and
 an all-over scrub with soap and
 water and brush, to the Init of
 tolerance. Then dry, and thorough | ly rub the sulfur ointment on every
 part of the skin that shows any sign of trouble. Wallow in the oint-
 ment over night. Next morning a
 bath, clean clothes, clean bedcloth- ing and clean linen. If the sulfur
 ointment is properly made and ap- piled as described, not just dabbed
 on her and there, a cure should be obtained. Of course re-infestation
 will occur If any clothing or toilet article or bed linen used before the treatment Is used again without laundering, day in the sun, or dry cleaning.

After all, June in Washington is full of weddings and romance, and with the war over in Europe, a lot of cave-dWellers were just beginning to hit their stride.
 However, very wise preslden- tial papa wasn't happy about the featured newspaper pictures of his daughter shagging at this party, cocktailing at that, and Hitting nlerrily through Washington society with the war still bitterly contested in the Paci- fic. It was only natural exuber- ance on the part of young col lege girl who suddenly found her self the First Daughter of the Land.
 But all this didn't jibe with the Presidents own ideas or his pleas to the nation to get the war over in the Pacific.
 So came the back-to-the-earth- movement-and-the-MiSs im- mediately after Margaret's college term was over.
 As Margaret herself explains: Father says I have to finish college. I have one more year at George Washington and father considers college import ant"
 WASHINGTONS SACRED COW
 Meanwhile Washington has been getting a real kick out of the way Margaret has been putting Washington doWagers in their places and running rough-shod over that most sacred of all Capital sacred COWS protocol-the ritual of where who should sit where at dinner.
 The other day Margaret tele- phoned Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mo- Lean, owner of the Hope Dia- mond and the only Washington hostess brave enough to enter tain much during the war. Mrs. Mclean, who goes in for John L. Lewis, the British ambassador, the Senator Burt Wheelers and a various assortment of bigWigs, has been making special play for the Trumans; so Margaret asked if she could bring Reathel Odum to dinner. Mrs. Mclean said: "Delighted".
 Then an hour or two before din- ner, Margaret called second time to ask if she could bring Edward D. McKim, her fathers new secretary. Again Mrs. Mc- Lean said, "delighted"; and the social secretaries began re-arrang- ing the place-cards, which at dinner of 200 featuring senators, cabinet members and supreme court justices, plus Washington formality which is some job.
 Finally the Truman cOntin- gent arrived. MT. McKim had a marvellous time. In fact he had started having a marvellous time well before he arrived.
 But several ladies of rank and distinction did not have such marvellous time - among them Mrs. Walter George, wife of the Senator from Georgia, Mrs. Mil lard Tydings, wife of the senator from Maryland and Mrs. Joseph E. Davies, wife of the former American ambassador to Russia.
 For Reathel Odum, the extra guest brought at the last minute by Margaret Truman sat at the honored table. Perhaps Mrs. Mclean didn't know who she was, perhaps she did. At any rate one distinguished lady remarked:
 Does Mrs. Mclean take dope? Then why does she seat that little Odum stenographer at the head table with Senator George and Justice Murphy?"
 Reathel Odum happens to be Mrs. Truman's secretary. Accord ing to Capitol protocol she does not rank. So the ladies glowered while she sat at the head table, and even Joe Davies sat at the second table. Tn the old days of Dolly Gann-A Alice LongwOrth so-

Fatalism declares that things happen as the result of blind force. Christian faith leads us to believe that all things are either part of Gods plan or are made to fit into it.
 Many people let it alone. They have plans of their own which seem infinitely better than the ap- parently stern plans of God. But there are two difficulties about re- jecting Gods plan: First, when we get into trouble we have no powers but our own to help us out; and
