Baltimore; Gus Barksdale, Univer-
sity of Georgia; Paul c. Couphos
Evansville College, Evansville, Ind,

that subsistence allowances be in
creased from s65 to s1O0 month

pendents, from 800 to s125 for those
with one dependent and an extra

Children to Find Salvation Army
TOYS in Homes Christmas Morn

A new wrinkle in the traditiona
practice of giving Christmas doll:
and TOYS to needy children will bt
tried this year by the Salvation
Army.
Instead of having the children
and their parents assemble at the
organizations storage place to re.
ceive their gifts on Christmas morn
ing, the Salvation Army is ar
ranging with the parents to select
the dolls and toys in advance. In
this way the children will wake up
on Christmas Day to find their gifts
in the home.
1T will seem as though Santa
Claus had really left the things for
them" 1t. Col. w. w. Bouterse of
the Salvation Army said.
He explained parents of the un-
derprivileged children, carefully Sc
lected. will receive notices from the
Salvation Army to come to the toy
shop at 499 C street NV. at a
stated hour from Monday through
next Wednesday. There with the
help of a volunteer or Salvation
Army worker they will select dolls
and toys, which they may take
home with them.
5000 Toys on Hand.
Among the 5000 toys will be 1000
dolls. dressed by volunteer helpers
of embassies, church groups, civic
organizations and the American Le-
gion Women's Auxiliary. Many of
these dolls will be dressed in the
costumes of India. China. Great
Britain, Czechoslovakia, Scotland
and Australia. Others will be attired
in American dress.
The dolls were bought last sum-
mer by the Salvation Army and
brought to the organization's head
quarters at 1853 R street NV. In

DC. Year Without Typhoid
Diphiheria Deaths Likely

This year promises to be the first
In the history of the District Health
Department without deaths from
diphtheria or typhoid fever, accord
ing to DR.. James Cumming. direc-
tor of the Bureau of Preventable
Diseases, Seven cases of diphtheria
have been recorded in the city in
the first so weeks of the year ano
six cases of typhoid fever.
DR.. Cumming says this record is
due to better sanitation and ad-
vances in medical science.
Next year DR.. Cumming predicted
an epidemic of measles, reaching its
height in the fall. The disease runs
In cycles, he says and there is an
epidemic here every three or four
years. This year there have been
518 cases reported. Next year, Dr.
Cumming predicted there would be
between 4,OGO and 5000 cases here.
In addition to the diphtheria and

them. Different groups, having
about $50 workers, volunteered tc
do the job.
The workers cut, stitched ano
fitted each doll with panties,, slips
home made dresses, white shoes
and socks. The shoes and socks
were given by the Salvation Army
with each doll.
There is no such thing as uni
formity of dress. One doll is attired
for ice-skating, with knitted cap,
white wool coat, sweater, green
skirt and ice skates attached to
the white shoes. Another is ready
for wedding, dressed in Princess
Elizabeth wedding gown. Another
wears boys clothing, with blue
cap and blue suit.
Typical Children Noted.
The organiza ton noted typical
children who will receive gifts. One
is a 3l2-year- girl who weighs 20
pounds and has ricketts,. Her par
ents lost two children in two years
and are anxious to make life happy
for their only child. The doll she
will get will help.
In another family. five children
under IA will receive gifts they
otherwise would not get. The father
has been ill for a long time, and
the mother is trying hard to carry
the burden. In still another family,
where the father Is suffering from
tuberculosis, a 10-year-old girl will
be made happy by Santa Claus
present of a doll.
Santa Claus gets all the credit as
far as these youngsters are con-
cerned." Col. Bouterse said. That,
he added, represents the spirit of
Christmas as felt by ali who took
part in preparing the gifts for
delivery

Clip COIUs In Fall
Urges Dairy Chief

Clip your dairy cows when You
bring them into the barn in the fall.
This easy bit of fall work, says
H. J. Weavers, chief of the Dairy
Division of the Wisconsin State
Department of Agriculture, will ac-
comphsh three important things;
1t will increase winter milk pro-
duction by making your cows more
comfortable.
1t will make your cows easier to
groom and improve their appearance.
1t will help you produce quality
milk with less time and effort.
Most cows have a heavy coat of
hair when they are brought into the
barn for winter stahling, Weavers
said This makes it difficult to keep
them clean and increases the work
of preparing the cow for milking.
The tail, flanks, udder and belly
of each milk COW should be clipped
every fall, he said. The farmer who
has his own electric clipper can do
this job in a short time after the
herd is brought into the barn for
the winter. Many of the better dairy
markets insist that patrons clip their
producing herds.
