IN the whole, dinner passed oR V smoothly. Lulu had rather or iginal Ideas about waiting on table but the food she put on and took of with more vlgor than attention to fine points was good.
 Bunnyb unstable spirits had dls- uarded all recollection Og his brief modification and he worked bis way contentediy through dinner paying very little attention Co those round him. His sister Jane was very busy. She had to watch Bunny like Q hawk, prepared Co bounce at his first sign Of lapse from good man. ners or tact. She also had the adult conversatlon to keep track of.
 Kitty had felt little strange when they first sat down ct table. It was the first time in 30 long that she had been at the orahams' without Collins. She was sur- prised and disappointed to find creeping Ia on her again that chilly sense of isolation which had bothered her al the way up from Florida on that crowded train. She realized apprehensively that 1t might be possible to feel more alone in the middle of c family than when surrounded by other transient, unattached people. Tn addition to her own troubles Kitty was conscious of all added edge of discomfort contributed by the oh- vious care with which Peg and Ben avoided mentioning collins. Lulu startled her by whizzing a salad past her nose like Q bat and Kitty pulled herself together. At

DARKEST HOUR BEFORE DAWN

DEAR E. B.: Cheer up. It Is ale ways darkest just before dawn. Thank God for your mothers in- duence and for your own Spunk and core of common sense, which have kept you from becoming al- together a fawning yes-woman tc this psychopath, who cheeks back periodically out of idle curiosity to see if you are still hanging on the gate he gives you. each time after assuaging his vanity with a demon- stration that he has only to whistle to bring you to heel.
 You are not in love with Jim. Rather. I think, you are the vic- tim of a morally sick state of mind he has foisted on you. What you mistake for love Is morbid pre- occupation with erotic fancies in which he figures, no doubt as a result of too much precocious love- making indulged early in the game, ag his fayorite pastime when in his company.
 Judge by his unpredictably fluc- tuating, grossly lnconsiderate be- hayior In relation to you. in playing upon your feelings to leave you in suspense. he has nothing to recom- mend him in the field of char aeter. So his principal appeal to foolish lnaidens must be brute mag netisIn, or call it sex attraction. Also, judging by the way he fits about, master of his actions. he must be some years older than you-so that he Is able to persuade you that his viciousness Is man-Of-woEld stun. GOOD RADIANCE

 Answer--If my tonsils were pre- sumably infected it would be dia thermy (elec rocoagulation) or nothing. Main objection to the old Spanish atrocity Is it seals so many victims in their crypts.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am a girl l6 years old and very much in love. You may doubt that a girl my age could be seriously in love, but I am very mature for l6 and act much older. 1 met Jim a year ago last September and we. fell in love almost at once.
 We were devoted con,sAnions un- til Christmas time and then he just stopped seeing me, although kept on loving him. The following April he saw me again and told me how much he loved me and missed me. l believed him, of course, and was glad-because I loved him so. He was attentive for about two weeks and asked me to be his steady girl. Mother made me refuse and then I heard no more from him.
 Months dragged by and I moped about; and although I went out some with other boys I didn't en- joy myself aC all. Two weeks ago he came back, treated me nicely and We had many enjoyable dates until yesterday, when he came to my home to tell me some awful news. It seems he is a very sick boy and has to go to another climate to get well. He intends to make his per- manent home there.
 Again he asked me to be his steady girl and even though I love him so much. I refused to promise that. explained 1t wouldn't make sense. as we probaly never will meet again after he leaves. He retorted, If that's the way you fee about me, okay!" Then he left without saying goodbye. Before this argument. he had said he would write to me. But now that he's angry, what should do? If he doesn't write, should I write to him? If he does, should I answee? Or should just kill myself2 think there is nothing to live for if I can't have him. And I don't know how I can bear up if he leaves without saying goodbye. Please let me hear from you.

ouoslng Q paragraph from 0 book about eating by c fellow who claims Co be Au authority on nutrl- ton" a reader asks whether it is true what the authority" says about the danger of certain food comblnAtlons, such as orange or grapefruit or their juices taken ln the same meal with starches such As cereal. toast, rolls etc.

 The notion that starch will not digest ln the presence of acid b a nineteenth century fancy. The truth ls that ln the healthy person diges- ton of starch begins In the mouth during mastlcatlon q said a heal- thy person, not a toothless one) and continues for half on hour or more after the food has entered the stomach.

 Whatever combination or mixture of foods appeals to your taste or appetite is the right combination for you. It will digest as easily and as thoroughly as any of the foods in 1t would if taken alone.
 Oddly enough the paragraph the reader quotes from the Self-styled authority on nutrition" makes no mention of "mucus-forming" effects, although the charlatan does get in the usual glib allusion to "collitis." !" No physioloeist knows what food, if any, forms mucus. No physician knows. Only the self-styled ''nutri- tion authority" flood specialist" or ''diet expert" knows that, and of course his gulllble customers.
 This Is physiology and no one can deny 1t.

Starve if Out

Radical propaganda undoubted- ly does this nation damage. I be- lieve big majority of Americans are wholesome people, love their country and understand what makes it the worlds best place to live and most influential power. Just the same, poisoned news gains converts. And so long as men in power wish to gain more power, the campaign for collect ivism will be carried on.
 At it's source is the best place to quiet the voice of socialist pro- motion. Men who banker to boss the schools, control hospitals, linn it production and eternally fix prices ought to be put where thair every word and deed does not make news out of power. There is a sure way: Stop the flow of revenue out of the Treas ury into the hands of such ap- pointed rulers. That will start immediately and effectively to solve problems of collectivist propaganda.

MILLION AND HALF CONSULT VA MONTHLY

Headquarters Alaskan Depart@ ment-In recent report of the Veterans Administration it was revealed that more than one and a half million persons consult that agency every month in regard to their problems. Seventy-five per cent of the questions concern either insurance or the provisions of the CT Bill of Rights.
 Veterans are warned against too nasty conversion of their National Life Insurance policies. People too often do not appreciate the peac& time value of their policy and con- vert it to high premium forms which they cannot afford. If vet erans have let their National Serv- ice Life Insurance policies lapse, they may now reinstate them wit bout physical examination. This can be done by submitting a signed statement that their health is as good as at the time of the lapse. This liberalization will req main in effect until January 1, l947.
 During the past few weeks first claims for unemployment allow ances under the CT Bill have dropped total of almost 50,000. It IS believed that the weekly amount paid and the number of veterans drawing compensation may be further lessened withiN the near future, because the peak in demobilization is passed, most strikes are ended, and certain sea- sonal work is opening.

 Journalists tell me that news articles have value G. e., deserve prominence) in proportion to the number of people interested. Thus persons in positions of power make news because a lot of peo- pie are interested in what these men think and say and do. If rul- ings they decree or opinions they express seem socialistic, there's nothing honorable for news men to do but tell the people. It.s their country.

tribute much to the worlds pro- gress or to any peoples store of knowledge. In fact, taking a stand in opposition to another mans harangue serves without fail to dignify the harangue and call at tention to it. Debating a false philosophy always helps it and, unless opposition is we'll handled, there's a danger of giving more help than hindrance.
 The propaganda machine we hear so plainly has been chatter ing away for two decades. Pro- motions, good and evil, ride on the wings of news, and news is necessary. Publishers, columnists and radio commentators chronicle real happenings, day by bay. Don't blame them. They perform an essential public service.

(Oeattle toSt-Intelligencerl l

(0eatte toSr-IntelligencerG fh H1E recommendation or the Anglo American com u mission of inquiry admission of 100000 Jewish refugees to Palestine ourng the remainder of the rent year definite and laudable breach in the bar rer of doom that has enclrced these unfortunate and oppressed and unhappy people.
 But 1t is not to be construed a for the econ- Omc and social plight of European Jews and even palliative 1t IS entirely inadequate and pahetically n effective.
 It is wonderful thing, surely enough, to provide for the salvage of 100000 human lives.
 But let it not be forgotten that this total constitutes but onetteenth of the total of oppressed and perse cuted, destitute and despairng European Jews still remaining within the encircling barrier of doom.
 The Anglo-American commission should deal with the whole problem of Jewish afction not just frac- ton of it.
 The humane and moral and spiritual obligation of the civilized world is not merely to decide how many of these forsaken people to be saved but how all of them can be saved.
 It would take 15 years to liqudate the Jewish refugee problem of Central Europe according to the formula of the Ango-American commission-providing all the refugees could stay alive that long.
 But actually and grimly, in the event the civilized world finds better formula the mortality rate ann ong them will take far less than 15 years to solve their problem
 The conscience of the world shrinks from letting that happen, and cries out against it.
 The Anglo-American commission should find for the frghtful affliction which monumental injustice has brught upon the Jews of Europe not just palliative for it.

WHY ARGUE?

Ever since V-J Day, which most Americans look upon as the end of World War II, we have all recognized a high clamor of com munistic propaganda. With sound reasoning, great many we'll meaning people have tried to op- pose it on the street corners, to no avail. It is like arguing with headline in yesterdays newspa- per. To be really effective, our opposition must go deeper, much deeper.
 There are not many things that I like less or fear more than con- centration of political power, gov ernment by men rather than by law, and official favoritism for individuals and cliques; and I'm not alone. I am convinced that an overwhelming majority of Amer jeans feel the same way. Conse- quently I hope these few remarks may improve the measure of pro- lection for us all.
