We The Women
By RUTH M1LLETT

"We love our children and
want them with us, but we can't
find a place to live because Of
the children"
That was the story q young
father told police in a southern
city when the children were
found alone in a church.
If that story sounds femilia1
it may be that you have read
it-with slight variations-many
times during the last few years
It is easy to blame the parents
in such cases, and a judge otter
gets off some high-soundine
phrases about the duty of par
ents to their children when
cases like that come before him
But in our judgment OF such
parents we rarely stop to figure
out what it must be like for a
young couple with several small
children searching for a place tt
live and growing more despe'
rate every day.
"Why didn't they do such-and.
such?" we ask, as we name
all the sensible things they
might have done.
But when we talk like that
we forget that the parents in.
volved are often young, that
they may not be as resourcefu.
as those who judge them, that
they probably have no relative
to take them in or lend them
money, and that they have un,
doubtedly reached the point
where their problem seems sc
overwhelming that they believe
there is no solution for it, and
simply give up.

be protected. One good method
is to form a cage of chicken
wire about the plant, as illustrat-
ed. Stuff this wire cage with
straw. Remove in early spring
before the buds become active.
Location of planting of tree
peonies is important. for they
are not as hardy as the other
kinds. They need protection
from sharp winds. Also from
burning sunshine in early spring.
A semi-shaded spot is a good To-
cation, for the tree peony will
do well under half sun ard half
shade.
Good drainage is important.
The tree peony also likes plenty
Of lime in the soil. This can be
adde- to any good garden soil.
Since the blossoms of tree peo-
MES are delicately colored,
full sun is apt to fade them
quickly.

In recent years tree peonies
have come into favor with gar
deners here, after being enjoyed
for centuries in the gardens of
China.
Although tree peonies may be
planted in fall or spring, fall
planting is preferred. Old plants
may be removed at this time.
The best kind of tree peonies
are those which have been graft
ed upon Chinese peony roots.
When planting they should be
set some six inches lower than
normal, as illustrated in the ac-
companying Garden-Graph. This
will give the tree stock a chance
to form it's own roots above the
graft.

Indian Babies To Be Vaccindted
 For Tuberculosis
(BY Vern Haugland)

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The bur eau of Indian affairs said yester- day it is going to inoculate new born Indians with BCG vaccine as a preventive against tuberculosis.
 Dr. Ralph B. Snavely, medican director, told reporter the bur eau decided to go ahead with the new practice despite the fact that the vaccine had not yet been gen. orally accepted by the American Medical association.
 He added that the agency is pro- ceeding on the basis of encourag- ing results from a decade of exper- iments, under the direction of Dr. Joseph D. Aronson of Philadel- phia, at five Indian reservations.
 BOG, or bacillus calmette-guer- in, vaccine was developed by two French physicians and was first applied to human beings in 1921. Dr. Aronson experimented with it for five years at the Henry Phipps Institute, Philadelphia, before ad- ministering the first Indian BCG vaccinations at Sacaton, Ariz., in December, 1885.

GUESTS AT
 ROTARY LUNCHEON

Miss Helen Cass, Russel May nard and Col. Harry N. Burkhal- ter, were guests at the noon lunch con of the Nome Rotary Club Thursday.
 Miss CaSS told RotarianS of the plans made through the American Red Cross to place two Alaskan children each month in the ortho- pedic hospital attached to the Chi cago University. The children will travel to Chicago at the expense of the American Red Cross and will be cared for at the hospital free of charge.
 Miss Cass stated that it was de- cided that the two children to be taken first will be chosen from the Second Division, with two more children to be taken from other parts of Alaska each month. It is believed that this movement, in addition to the beds available in the orthopedic hospital on Japon- hki Island, near Sitka, will great ly relieve the situation.
 MT. Maynard, director of the Departmet of Public Vel fare, stated he was glad to be home, as he was born and raised here, and still considered Nome his home.
 Col. Burkhalter, who is to re- place Col. Joel Mallory as com manding officer of the Nome air base, stated the community could count on his cooperation.
