Mime. Loudon, American born wife
of the Netherlands Ambassador to
Washington, made her first visit to
Holland during the springtime.
That was back in the days before
the war and Holland In the spring
was something always to be re-
membered.
She tried to describe some of its
beauty last week. But you've seen
the postcards" she said. 1.-The
tulips were simply lovely-and the
hyaeinths! You can't imagine how
their fragrance fills the air."
Nine. Loudon made her most re-
cent trip to the Netherlands In Sep
TENDER, 1915. She and her husband
were on the first ship to take pas
sengers into Holland after the
liberation.
The change was heart-breaking.
Those who had been the picture OF
health before che war were now only
shadows of their former selves.
Many had been kept alive by those
tulip bulbs which had provided such
a colorful display In happier times.
Furniture had been burned for fuel,
and clothing was in such a pitiable
condition that the Ambassador
wife found it embarrassing even to
wear a hat.
Both Of these pictures will be in
her mind when Nine. Loudon ad-
dresses luncheon meeting Thurs
day to be given by the Capital Divi-
sion of the National Woman's Farm
and Garden Association.
But there will be another picture,
too, for the people of Holland have
made remarkable strides in the re-
Mobilization of their devastated land.
Evidence of that progress is the
fact that the rural women of Hol-
land are to be hosts next September
to the triennial convention of the
Associated Country Women of the
World.
AS a tribute to the spirit which
enables the Dutch women to under
take such a task, local members of
the Farm and Garden Association
are making their luncheon Thurs
day a tulip day" event. Proceeds
will be used to help defray expenses
Of the meeting in Amsterdam, &C
cording to Mrs. Robert D. Maltby,
Capital Division president.
The luncheon, which will be given
at the Sfloreham Hotel, is to be a
colorful affair. Mrs. Truman will
be the guest of honor. Tulips and
a small Dutch garden will provide
the decorations. And the program

Health Officer Gives
Pointers On Loyettes
To Prospective Mothers

"a common problem of all mo-
Tiers" declared D. w. H. Weeks,
Director of the Holmes County Heal
tn Department, sit the wise selection
and preparation of clothes for the
new baby"
What to buy and how many of
each garment will be needed are i'm
portant questions for all mothers,
To avoid buying too many or I'M
necessary articles, it is best to have
good information available about
your baby's layette. The average
layette should include four dozen
diapers, four shirts, six nightgowns,
two sweaters, four baby blankets
and three bands. This is an average
six months supply.
The Holmes County Health De
partment has a new pamphlet,
your Child Will Need BODY Clo-
thes," which answers the usual ques-
tions of mother regarding a new
baby's layette. Call by or write to
the Health Department for a free
copy of this new pamphlet.
"be sure that the clothes which
you buy for your baby will wash
well and are easy to IRON" DR..
Weeks said. They should also be
easy to pput on, easy to fasten, and
comfortable for the baby. Remem-
Der, a young baby does not need
many clothes"

Against these arguments are the humanitarian
consideration embodied by the 900 displaced per-
sons in Europe, and the traditional welcoming atti-
tude of The United States. Pressure groups operating
along racial, religious national lines also seek to
ADMIT newcomers of like persuasion.
One proposed amendment to the Stratton bill
would admit war-orphaned European children under

Three Phases Mark Movement
Though United States consulates abroad are
sWamped with applicants, actual migration remains
snared below the quotas for most countries.
This is cue to lack of shipping, overburdened
consulate stats and complicated provisions of the law
itself Aside from the thousands of would-be inrni-
grants hopefully waiting in Europe some 10000 war
stranded American citizens remain overseas OF these
g large proportion will have to wait as long as two
years by official estimates, for screening renewal OF
passports and transportation.
Immigration to the United States has been marked
by three phases. The first in the 18th century
when most new arrivals from Britain, Ireland,
Scandinavia, Germany and other Northern European
countries Early in the Goth century even greater
annual tide of Central European, italian and Medi-
terranean peoples set in,
The quota system introduced the third period
which was characterized by degree of selectvty and
control It was marked by the almost total exclusion
of oriental migrants and gave preference to those
countries from which immigration heaviest during
the late 10Th century.
Now, as after World War !, new phase seems

Russia Taps Austria's Oil Wells
Operation of Fields Meet Moscow Reporoon Claims
Provides Obstacle to Allied Treaty Commission

to the Danube Steamship Co., for
merly one of the largest on the Dan
ube.
The oil fields have provided the
chief obstacle to the Allied Treaty
Commission now sitting in Vienna
determining facts in the matter of
German assets as requested by the
Moscow conference.
The Russians have demanded
that the question of oil be taken up
by the commission and discussed on
Soviet terms and definitions before
experts of the commission are put
to work on it. The commission has
moved hardly an inch forward since
the meeting opened more than three
weeks ago.
Austrian officials say the listers
dorf fields can cover all of Austria S
needs and still provide surplus for
export vitality needed by the Aus
trian economy. From the peak pro-
duction attained by the Germans
during the war production fell to
3,150,000 barrels in 1945. 1t rose to
double this amount in 1916 and is
believed to be at about that level
now.
Operation Problems
The Russian management, how
ever, is suffering from lack of new
and modern equipment and pau
city of oil experts. They advertise
internationally in the Vienna press
for oil workers, offering bonuses and
extra food rations.
Only a very small portion OF
Zistersdorf's production is required
for the needs of the Russian occupa-
ton army in Austria.
Oil experts estimate that the re-
serves at zistersdorf total some
Sc ,0oo, 900 barrels, of which about
half is inferior grade oil.
The products of Zistersdorf, Aus
trian officials claim, are being deliv-
cred to the Russian zone in Ger
many, Poland, Czechoslovakia and
to the Black Sea port of Constanza
for the Red feet. 1t was impossible
| to obtain comment on these reports
| from Soviet sources in Vienna.
Recently the Russians started
drilling for new oil in the Neusied
area of lower Austria. but the results
are not known.

Bankers. although they still well
come your money, are getting tired
of looking at pictures of skunks on
checks, puzzling out which of a
half dozen sets of figures is the one
you want paid, and solving the
riddle of which bank has your
money in the first place.
In other words, they wish you'd
60 back to using checks as a medium
of exchange and stop dressing up
checks to advertise your business,
to record all of your multiple deal
ings with your employees, or Just to
be fancy.
Businessman at Fault
The campaign for simplifcation
in the printing and writing of bank
checks is being waged by-and take
a deep breath-the Committee on
Check Standardization and Simpli-
f1cation of the Bank Management
Commission of the American Bank
ers' Association.
The committee for check simplifi-
cation gives pretty clean bill OF
health to the personal check.
Most checks are written by bust
ness firms. While no figures were
available as to the number OF
personal and number Of business
