benefit enormously both Immediately
and in the future According to reli-
able estimates an MVA could give en-
ployment to 100000 men for five years
on construction, $500 for four years
building power lines, 5000 for six
years in manufacture of transmission
and distribution appliances, providing
for $4,000 jobs in the electrical equip
ment industry alone. This would be
just a commencement and does not
take into account the vast increase in.
population and prosperity which would
come to the Missouri valley states by
the irrigation of millions more acres
of land and the building of innumer-
able more industries which would I'M
doubtedly occur under the MVA as it
has under IVA. A half million square
miles is an empire in itself and if
properly developed to the fullest extent
would unquestionably benefit all of the
people of the United States.
For this reason we Of IUMM&SW
should make the establishment of
Missouri Valley Authority one of our
major detectives. Let's go after it
with everything we have!

Military Riding Higher Than Ever
And now the Military are riding
higher in Washington than ever be
fore. Of the SO billion dollars the
year that we are spending, u billion
is administered by the Military this
fiscal year.
A beaver, if imprisoned, will break
up furniture and build a dam where
there is no water. All military
thought, mentality, planning, training,
education, is for destruction. If put
at constructive work, the result is
usually as painless and barren as the
effort of the imprisoned beaver. The
Military produce naught, and pay no
actual taxes. They spend other peo-
pies money freely; they produce none
of it.
By the way all wars are fought by
strictly Communistic methods, the
arm and eyes of Totalitarianism are a
military organization. Sometimes this
is used kindly, firmly, and sensibly,
as Macarthur seems to be doing in
Japan-otherwise, as the Americans
seem to be doing in South Korea.
Army Engineers-A Shining Example
But the military mind is not effec-
tive for internal improvement. For
100 years the Army Engineers have
been given countless millions to pre-
vent the floods of the lower Missouri
and Mississippi. They have worked
like beavers, with the results that by
narrowing the channels with levees,
they have fastened the flow at places,
the cutting power, and in
creased the damage done by flood |

Civil Authority Engineers working /
about six years in the Tennessee val |

Often small luxuries, which are
not expensive, add so much to ply
sical and spiritual comfort! The
gesture OF taking a taxi on a hectic
day, even though you cannot always
afford it, or treating yourself to a
special scalp massage when you are
having hairdo, or buying flowers
you love for the house on blue day,
or having breakfast in bed a few
times a year, all help a lot!
Perhaps the greatest luxury of all
Is one which few housewives have
ever thought of. namely the mere
act of sitting down in the middle of
a lot of pressure and saying, Il am
not going to do anything today, just
loaf, Sometimes this is necessary
for self preservation and makes one
feel like woman instead of a worm.
From the standpoint of happiness,
success and money, not many per-
sons can afford many luxuries often.
In fact, 1t is their extreme rarity
which make them so luxurious.

you can cook n whole meal on top

room for a whole fish or a large
piece of meat. plus two or three
other foods in this grill. Oblong in

oven use. Made of study material,

Dorothy Dix Says

to let the girl alone and he accused
me of attempting to marry her of
to just anybody, which isn't true.
Also, he says that he is trying to
protect her, but she is an intelligent
girl who is amply able to take care
of herself and she is in no danger
Can anything be done about this?
A WORRIED MOTHER.
Answer-The trouble with your
husband is one that is very COM
mon with fathers-he Is jealous.
He can't bear to think that his
daughter could be more interested
in some other man than she is in
him, and he is afraid that she might
marry and leave him; SO he makes
himself so disagreeable that he
drives all the young people, and
especially the men, away.
He refuses to realize how cruelty
his selfishness makes him treat his
daughter, for he is not only cutting
her off from all the pleasures of
her time of life. but he is booming
her to being lonely old maid, who
will have to support herself as long
as she lives.
OF course, to her father, his
daughter seems a mere infant and
he probably thinks that when she
is little older, say As or so, that
he will be willing to relax his Wig
lance and let her step out little
and to get married. But daughter
isn't bobby -soxer any longer. She
is rs. She is at the age when a
woman is most attractive and most
likely to have a good opportunity
to marry, and 1t is up to her to
make her matrimonial hay while the
sun of her youth and good looks
shines.
A jealous father is really the worst
handicap a girl can nave. He is a
dog in the manger whose growls
scare all the boys away Pity there
isn't some way of muzzling such
beasts.
