The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on activ, service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = Tall, stately Senator Jim Murray of Montana is 69 years old, but during a closed door session of his Small Business Committee he nearly got into a fist-fight with 54-year-old Senator Allen Ellender of Louisiana. For tunately for both, Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee jumped ur and spoiled the bout. Senatorial dignity was saved.
 It all happened when the Senate Small Business Committee held its first closed session this year Hitherto, the Committees work has been done in open subcommittee which have stepped on the toes of several big business groups and battled hard for little business.
 Some Senators haven't liked this Also, they haven't liked the fact that Chairman Jim Murray dele gated the Committees work to its Counsel, Dewey Anderson. Most Committee members, busy with other committee assignments, have been content to let Anderson have free rein-with the exception of Fllender of Louisiana and Admiral Tommy Hart. Hart, the new Re- publican Senator from Connecticut had never attended full Commit tee meeting.
 Finally, after pressure from FL |, lender and Hart, Senator Murray called one. Immediately the sparks

picnics and birthdays, sympathy in
trouble, care in illness, endless trips
upstairs and downstairs. 1t meant
darning and mending late into the
night; loyal defense in crises, pride
in school triumphs, prayer always
all day, every day, prayer. It
meant baking cookies, smoothing
beds, mending skates and dolls;
wet weather, dry weather, cold days
and hot, year out and in.
Martha Howe, one of million
wives and mothers who are doing
the same thing, never to be put into
the litany of the saints, but a saint
just the same.
And how we are going to need
them, in these days to come!
For it is only the children of such
fathers and mothers, children raised
in simple, loving homes, with
strong principles of honor, with a
code and rule behind them, who
are going to save the world now.
1t must be these young hands that
are raised against the fearful con-
ditions that will follow these wars,
these young hearts that take up the
burden.
Same Simple Cure.
All the peace conferences in the
world, with their inevitable de-
lays, misunderstanding, evasions,
omissions, will not accomplish what
these domestic saints accomplish.
The cure for the weary, poisoned.
shattered world now is the same
cure that was described for us 1000
years ago; the leaven that Wom-
an hid in two measures of meal, until
the whole was leavened.
No, peace conferences will not get
us anywhere. 1t will be years before
reliable authority is established any
where in Europe, years before any
mans word will be worth the taking.
But in the simple homes of
America there does lie a cure. In
the unfolding and rebuilding of
what made US what we are, and will
keep us safe in our own fine tradi
tons. Home life, mother-and-father
love, gardens and babies; spare
bedrooms being made ready for COM
pany; Sunday dinners; dad at the
head of the table, mother coming in
flushed and triumphant with the
turkey.
These family saints to absorb the
terrible afterwash of these years OF
hate and destruction, must only ex-
tend their mothering to take in
broken soldier or a sailor, to in
clude a desolate little widow or a
child orphaned by war. They must
only do what they have always done,
reaching out toward loneliness and
suffering and comforting it. If hun
dred of them do it, hundreds OF
lives will be that much brighter and
safer If a thousand, the whole world
will feel the effects of it. If mil
lion women will reach out their
strong, experienced, loving hands to-
ward the individual needs of our
postwar ex-sailors, ex-soldiers, eX-
service people generally, Americas
peacetime problem will be solved
with no governmental action at all.
There is no other way.

Lowly Spiders Among
Swiftest of the Swift

During an experiment some
time ago a spider was timed to
walk a hundred times it's own
length in a second. By COMPARE
son a man would have to travel
at 400 miles an hour to equal this!
Some birds, especially the div
ing varieties, can touch terrific
speeds. The average speed a man
reaches when diving from a height
of about 60 feet is 40 miles an
hour, whereas the loon, a diving
bird, surprised by the flash of a
gun, can dive before the shot
reaches it. One naturalist stated
that he had timed birds to dive
under water before the pellets
from gun peppered the surface.

THERE is woman in my
neighborhood who is a
i saint.
The making of a saint is a
simple matter. 1t consists of
ordinary human material upon
which spiritual graces are inter-
posed. Saints can be poor, old,
illiterate, humble-or saints can
be royal. Saint Elizabeth of
Hungary was queen. Saint
Francis-one of the greatest
was penniless beggar.
Thousands of saints are never
called saints at all, except in the
hearts of their children, of the neigh
bors who remember them for
years, wondering perhaps where
that effect of goodness, light, help,
faith came from.
This neighbor of mine has no idea
that she is saint. She lives so
completely for other persons that
doubt if she ever thinks of herself
at all.
She is big, broadly built wom-
an, standing up to her tall sons al
most at their level, catching up
grandchildren as if they we're feath-
ers. She has had five children-four
now, since the telegram came about
Tom. Martha Howe took that blow
quietly: nobody in the family felt
any extra agony of grief because
of mothers grief Almost imme-
diately she could talk quietly of
Tom, of his dearness, his fun, his
athletic achievements, his passion
ate longing to get into air service
in which he died.
Comforting Dad.
Also, after the telegram, she
took to being downtown once or
twice week, late in the afternoon,
drifting into the shoe store, and
walking home with dad. Always
there was the same loving care
with his meals; gravy the way he
liked it, little hard crisp doughnuts
always on tap. Always there was
cheerful gossip; indulgent laughter
I'LL Dbl dill SCIlOOl interests, tender
amusement over Julia's love affairs,
deep concern for Franks nursery
and the grandchildren.
For the 40 years since she was l6
Martha Howe has followed the
simple path of saintliness with no
idea of its Importance. To her it
meant patient, self-sacrifcing care
of an adored invalid father; early
happy marriage and work and
economies with a man she loved;
tireless devotion to babies in the
slow years of wet little shoes, lost
little rubbers, Group, spilled milk,
long wet afternoons. 1t meant moth
erly inclusion of many other small
derelicts; "his mothers in the hos
pital," or they're having sickness
over at Blakes," Martha would ex-
plain when small strangers swelled
the circle.
1t meant the heaven of mother

ers that provide width for action
are satisfactory only if the fullness
is placed on both sides where it can
respond to arm and shoulder move
ment.
A gored skirt should be cut wide
enough at the bottom to permit the
homemaker to walk, climb, and
stoop easily, and yet be fitted close
ly enough about the hips to stay in
place. Too much fullness in a skirt
may cause tripping on ladders or in
climbing stairs.

Dehydration Was Arabian
Custom 1000 Years Ago

Dehydration is not so new as
many people think. That tin of
dried milk in your cupboard,
ladies', had its counterpart nearly
1000 years ago among the no
mad tribes of Arabia.
They curdled cancels milk,
strained it and pressed it into
little balls which were then dried.
Just as today, it was done to
save transport space and, as we
do, they added water to turn it
into a drinkable condition again.

BrawIey Resident
browns When Car
Leaps Into River

BRAWLEY, Calf, March rs. (UP)
-Artie Bill" Salmon, 40, Brawley
hay baler, was drowned and his
companion, Allen Blankenship, 275
B Street, Drawley, narrowly escap-
ed the same fate, about eight o'clock
Saturday night when their coupe
crashed through a bridge railing
north of Brawley and plunged into
the Alamo river.
The two men were enroute to a
hay field on the old PoWerline- Cali
patria highway a mile north of the
lockwood store when the fatal ac-
cident happened.
According to Blankenship, the two
men were watching a train, and he
supposed Salmon, who was driving,
had taken his eyes off the road as
they drove onto the bridge. Blank
enship said the car skidded and
crashed through the bridge rail-
ing with the rear end sliding off
the bridge and dragging the car
end over end into the river.
Blankenship escaped through the
open window on the drivers side
and after floating downstream some
distance was able to pull himself
out of the water and up the steep
bank.
Salmon's body was found Sunday
morning lodged against the piling
of the river railroad bridge down.
