controI-But Not Floods

Cost of the disastrous flood on
the Missouri river alone has been
estimated at 500 million dollars
in loss of topsoil and erosion, and
more than $50 million dollars in
property damage, a total of $50 mil
lion dollars. For as long as records
have been kept, the average annual
loss of flood and drouth damage in
the Missouri valley has been 100
million dollars. Total cost of IVA
to date has been 1872 million dollars.
Yet an Indifferent congress
and greedy private enterprise SO
far have effectively damned up
any action to create an MVA
to harness the Missouri.

Books" on Ceiling

Bedridden veterans now can
study pages of text books projected
on the ceiling. The microfilmed
pages of textbooks are flashed by
special projectors. The patients
throw new pages upon the ceiling
merely by pressing button on the
bedside protector. ~ -,
Veterans organizations and phil
anthropic groups have presented
the projectors to the government.
Among the 80 textbooks that have
been microfilmed are works on
grammar, civics and physics.

A/ childbearing, and wom-
w en- have to do the child
rearing" writes Georgia
Crompton. SIN the years that
childbearing and collaborating
60 on, man gets an advantage
that he never loses.
'In the early, days of marriage"
this bitter letter continues, "of
course one wants children-a dear
little boy and a dear little girl. The
children come, after months of dis
comfort for the mother. I don't
mean physical discomfort merely,
although many women experience
that, too. Even the luckiest women
have to drag through the last six
weeks, clumsy, shapeless, bur-
dened. Then the ordeal of birth,
never any picnic no matter what
anyone says. And then care-care
such as no man ever dreams of! In
cessant, back-breaking care, and
nowadays not even the freedom a
nurse gives. Disorder, didies, steri-
lizers, washing, scalding. straining,
making up wet cribs-oh, yes, all
delight, if the man of the house is
the right man.
'But how often does he think of
what his wife pays for those babies?
They grow up, of course. In 10
years even the little third one is in
school. But those 10 years have
been her youth, "a to "a. No real
free fun in all that time for her;
her whole life is sacrificed to them.
Meanwhile. the husbands life is un-
touched. He can be handsome.
strong, free, 60 off for his golf or
fishing Sundays, meet his friends
for lunch; he is still himself. And
he can be as unjust to her as he
likes-she is helpless. She must still
be faithful to her babies.
They Help Now and Then.
81 know there are husbands who
help, when-and only when-they
feel like it. They feel so virtuous
when they do that one would like to
strange them. Sure, the poor little
woman is over-burdened, sure Dad
will walk round the block with the
older two. She mustn't work so
hard. No way of organizing this
sort of thing, making it easier. Ell?
Come on, kids, Dads on the job
this morning. But, by the way, he's
got to get over to Bill Whites this
afternoon. OK, Mommy? OK.
"Off he goes with the children for
half an hour, and he feels good all
day. He feels good whenever Nom
my is all broken down with fatigue,
encouragement and blues. Aw,
come on, honey, that's no way to
feel. We're having swell time.
Look at Rhoda and Jack, no kids at
all. What'd they give for our Terry,
even if he has got impetigo?
1--WE have four children, and I'm
divorcing Dan," the letter finishes.
GIVE nothing special against Dan.
he's just like all the others. And I'm
crazy about the children! Molly. 10,
the twins, Van and Junior 7, and
Yvonne 8. They're fine children, but
I'm only one woman, and this is
three-woman job. There's nothing
I'd love so much as to have a good
plain cook in my kitchen, and
capable nurse in my nursery. Some
one to pick up toys, wipe dishes,
put away laundry-not to mention
collecting and soaping the eternal
wash! But always to be slave, al
ways behindhand, always pitied by
the kindly superior male-no, that's
not my dish, and won't stand for

She Is a Doctor.
Georgia Crompton's advantage is
that she is a fully qualified doctor.

Rising Costs

Even the cost Of enshrining legis-
1ative hot air in the pages Of the
Congressional Record has scared
somewhat in the past year, men,
bers Of the Both congress learned.
Twelve months ago the priceless
words of congressman or senator
could fill one page Of the Record
for approximately $50. Now, &C.
cording to A. e. Gigengack, public
printer, it costs 81 to print sim
gle page Of the always bulky legis-
lative record.

Organize yourself for STOPPING.

along. When this is done, make out
a list to plan the day-which stores
to go to first, and what to find at
each one. Add up the approximate
costs, and you'll know how much
to tuck in your purse.
This may seem like lot Of time
to spend on paper work, but it's
more efficient, and you'll be able
to concentrate your efforts better
on the day you actually shop.
In fact, if you don't get to the
stores often, this is the only way
to plan, as you don't want to for
get anything; or, if you don't want
to run short of time.
Start Shopping Tour
Early in Morning
Anyone who has worked in a store
knows that the best selection of
merchandise is available early in
the morning. Plan to be there when
the store opens. Everything is in
order, the clerks are fresh and
anxious to serve you for they don't
carry the days problems on their
minds yet. You'll get better serv-
ice.
What about comfort when shop
ping? If you expect to do several
hours shopping, nothing will help
more than comfortable clothing. If
you have to tfy on clothing, wear
a dress that's easy to change. Use
a simple hairdress that's easily re-
paired.
Too much cannot be said of COM
Portable shoes, especially on a job
such as this that will keep you on
your feet most of the day. Lower
heels and real walking shoes will
really take you through the day
even though high heels might look
smarter! You might even give
yourself a pedicure the night before
just to prepare you for the day.
Consider Bargains
Before Buying
All women who shop have had ex-
periences with bargains that simply
aren't bargains. A good shopping
list, If you stick to it, will eliminate
buying the things you don't need.
Certain things aren't bargains al
all, even if they are reduced in
price. This goes particularly for
shopworn hats and shoes. It may
even apply to dresses that are SO
outmoded as to be no more than a
covering for the person. land you
don't want any cart of these.
There are certain types of sales
when you really will be able to prof
it by buying. There are the
"white" sales Of sheets, towels,
bedding and linens. after the Christ.
mas holidays that are worthwhile.
You also may purchase coats al
this time. Fur coats, however, are
at their best bought during late
summer. Classic summer dress
styles are also good any time during
August.

Crystal clear, transparent Swiss
organdy is featured with lace in
this all-white negligee. Dainty
ruffles accent the square yoke
and full pulled sleeves. Its fragile
look is deceptive as it will look
just as fresh and crisp no matter
how often laundered because Of
the permanent finish of the Swiss

to meet again January l unless
called into special session by the
President.
Measured by the results Of
other congresses, the accom-
plishments of this first session
Of the 8Oth congress on major
legislation are puny.
It slashed some appropriations,
not enough to boast about but sui
ficient to cripple government serv-
ices; it passed what has been
termed bootleg" labor law which
is as full of loopholes as sieve,
some parts of it are unconstitution-
al, and the predictions are from
both labor and industry that it will
not remain long on the statute books
in its present form.

EARLY Herb Gardens
Herbs for food and for healing
have been used from the dawn of
creation. The sifted dust of 100, 900
years ago, of the interglacial
period, yields identifiable seeds
and pollen of such herbs as are
now grown in the New York boz
tanical garden-angelica, boneset,
burnet, horehound, mint, sage and
vervain.

PERMANENT PASTURE VITAL

The first requirement for sue

production of an abundant sup

pasture will provide this kind of

crop production, seed a perman-
