act.
 SANTANGELO: MT. Gentillella. our chairman has made a very broad statement. Can you verify it? What underhanded method has been used by employers that has been given protection under this bill?
 GENTILLELLA: l am told that some oil companies have changed the managers of their filling sta tionS into licensees; of course thf company retains title to the statioI and to all the products sold. Int IicenSee is required to maintain his station at certain standards, but is paid according to the number of gallons of gasoline sold. This has been done in spite of the fact 1t was not the intent of Congress to allow employers to avoid their re- responsibilities to employees and to deprive them of Social Security benefits simply by changing certain superficial details of an employ ment arrangement.
 SANTANGELO: see. How does this matter appeal to you, Chair man Fargo?
 FARGO: The REAL QUESTION is whether the ADVANTAGE and CONVENIENCE of A CERTAIN FEW EMPLOYERS IS SUFF1- GENT JUSTIFICATION FOR DE- PRIVING ALMOST A MILLION FAMILIES OF SECURITY TO WHICH THEY ARE LEGALLY, AND MORALLY ENTITLED.
 SANTANGELO: MT. Gentillella, our chairman has used the phrase "to deprive almost million fam flies of security to which they are legally and morally entitled" What does he mean by that?
 GENTILLELLA: He means by that-around 750,O00 workers are removed from the benefits of So- cial Security by the passage of the GEARHART BILL, HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 296 that became law on February 27th of this year.
 SANTANGELO: But I thought the title of the BILL alone sug- gested it protected the people from such invasion of their rights-it is: "A BILL TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT TAXES AND SOCIAL SECURITY BENZ FITS" Chairman Fargo, how do you explain this?
 FARGO: There was arch cunning and deception used in that title. It is similar to the same advertising cunning used to sell bad book A GOOD TITLE CAN COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS. We should remember, as citizens, WE NEVER NEED LEGISLATION TO MAIN TAIN A STATUS QUO! LEGISLA- TON IS NEEDED ONLY TO GRE ATE CHANGE. CHANGE CAN BE OF TWO VARIETIES OF MOTION FORWARD or BACKWARDS. In the case of this bill that BE- PRAYED ALMOST A MILLION WORKERS, DERIVING THEM OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENE- FITS. the MOTION OF CHANGE WAS MOST CERTANLY-BACK- WARDS!
 SANTANGELO: What type of benefits did this law take away from over 750,O0O workers, MT. Genti1lella?
 GENTTLLELLA: The GEAR HART BILL, which was supported in debate by our CONNECTICUT CONGRESSMEN, XCLUDED FROM SOCIAL SECURITY COV- BRACE = from OLD AGE AND SURVIVORS INSURANCE BEN- EFITS - from UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROTECTION, this almost a million workers and theis dependents.
 SANTANGELO: Perhaps the BOTH CONGRESS felt that it was interpreting the Law correctly for the first time? Do you think this could be so, Chairman Fargo?
 FARGO: It is not up to CON- GRESS to INTERPRET the LAWS OF THE LAND, even if those LAWS have been ESTABLISHED BY LEGISLATIVE ACTS OF THE

COMMENTS.

from Mrs. M. H. r.. Fort Myer.)
To Mrs. H. 8. NJ, Arlington, who
wants to know how to amuse a
child in bed. Take two or three
pieces of coal, sprinkle a tablespoon
or more of bluing over it, salt it all
over, then on one side put several
drops of iodine, on another side sew
eral Of merthiolate, on another side
several of mercurochrome. This
causes chemical action which
makes a beautiful fungus like
growth, and the various colors
spread out in surprisingly lovely
colors. It grows very fast after
about "a hours and 1t is Joy to a
child. Do not let the youngster
touch it, of course. Mothers should
make a scrapbook Of things like
this, as one never knows when the
need might arise to amuse one of
their own. (Be sure to put the coal
in a deep dish, like a vegetable
dish, If you do not have a fancy
one, as it will grow like a fern and
the formation Is amazingly
Along the line Of barking dogs.
heartily agree. Also, unless you are
absolutely certain Of the telephone
number you are calling, please do
consult the directory. Is there any
thing more annoying than to be
called away from your work to
answer the phone for nothing?
To Mrs. R. F.. B., Silver Spring, a
potato peeler, almost round in shape
that fits over the hand, will shred
carrots Or other vegetables as you
found them in the cafeteria.
How heartily I agree with the
mother who believes in tapping
baby's hand to teach him to let
things alone. I'll probably be
squelched for this but I can say
from experience that immediate
punishment and immediate reward
will work wonders, but you must be
firm and consistent. You've all
heard mothers say. Now when I get
you home I'm going to spank you. u
Junior knows only too well that 1t
will probably be forgotten and even
if remembered and the punishment
carried out, the child has forgotten
exactly what 1t was for. Hence,
you've lost the all-important asso-
citation in the child's mind of dis
obedience punishment" and of
"obedience-reward." T have no
patience whatever with the mother
and father who say, In Junior s
hearing, II simply can't do thing
with him." So little Junior, who is
much, much smarter than you give
him credit for, says to himself,
They can't make me mind, I'm a
smart kid, I'll see what else I can
get away with" Result, entirely too
many spoiled grownups, and that
alone is reason enough for spoiled
marriages.

LAYETTE HINTS.

From Mrs. nj. II. E., SHper Spring. J
This Is for the lady who asked
about clothing the infant for his
trip from the hospital and layette.
Although I've seen several answers
TO her request I feel I must pass
along these very helpful hints on
some very useful articles.
First of all, I don't like ordinary
baby pants (waterprooD at all. On
an infant they are very clumsy and
uncomfortable. Also many doctors
advise against them. What I find
much better are the diaper shields
that come three in a package for rs
cents. They are made by well
known manufacturer of dress shields
and baby pants. I keep my baby
comfortable and his outer clothing
dry by using one in the last fold
Of his diaper, especially at night,
when I use two gauze diapers.
Gauze, incidentally, absorbs much
more moisture than birdseye. I also
like the woolly baby "soakers" al
though many people don't agree
with me.
One wool blanket and one heavy
cotton blanket will be plenty of
covering for his bed. One of the
most useful items 7 have is a white
wool shawl, sold at all baby depart
ments for about So. I use it when
I have to get up with him at night
in a cold room, in place of a bunting
on not very cold days and it makes
a nice carriage robe. 1t washes
beautifully and dries quickly ]
also use it when I need light
blanket.
For less than dollar you can buy
a tiny hot-Water bottle and you'll
never be sorry because he will have
his ''tunmy aches" For IS cents
you can buy, If you are lucky enough
to find one, pocket book on child
care at some newsstands. I don't
see how there could be a better
baby book at 10 times the price.
If I had to buy my layette all over
again I wouldn't buy f1annellette
kimonos or infants dresses or slips
The kimonas made of soft rayon or
aralac and having more than one
tie are much neater and one can
always count on a dress or two
as a gift. I would buy plenty of
light, wooden booties, some larger
than others, because I find they wear
out rapidly on an active baby.

COLORING SUGAR.

From Mrs. C. G., BerWyn.)
In answer to Mrs. R. E. P,
Washington, about how to color
sugar for cookies: This can be done
very easily by filling a cup about
u full of sugar, then take a tooth
pick or match stick and dip in your
cake coloring, then stir around in
your sugar. Keep stirring until your
sugar is evenly colored and redip
your stick in color until your sugar
is dark enough in color Coconut
may also be colored in this same
way.

Can any one help me?
Also, I moved into a new house

Here's a foolproof chocolate icing
that is delicious. Blend one square

add cups of sifted confectioners
sugar, 1s teaspoon salt, l teaspoon
vanilla. Beat in 3 squares melted
chocolate. The idea of cream cheese
sounds peculiar but it really tastes

Lay me-" lisped the tiny lips
OF my daughter kneeling. bending
Ger her folded finger tips.
Down to sleep, to sleep" she murmured
And the curly head bent low;
'Pray the Lord" I gently added,
You can say 1t all know"
''Pray the Lord" the sound came family
Fainter still MY soul to keep
And the tired head fairly nodded.
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewey eyes half opened.
AS I clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered:
Mama, God knows all the rest.

OF the child heart: would that
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,

MONEY PLANT;
BROWN SUGAR.

from Mrs. J. I. L., Washington
In answer to Mrs. r. z. P. about
money plant" let me say brought
both plants and seeds to Washing
ton from my mothers garden in
New England several years ago and
planted them on very shady side
of the house in poor soil, but for
tunately they need very little care.
Seeds planted in the late summer
will not mature for two years, but
planted in early spring will blossom
and produce their money" the fol-
lowing spring. The plants stay
green all winter long and spring up
and blossom about as early as any
thing I know Late summer of the
year they blossom, the money will
be ready. Cut, dry, separate the
thin transparent covering from each
side of the pod, dropping out the
seeds in between and you have it
for the rest of the winter indoors.
They look lovely in pewter contain
ers or with Japanese lanterns Let
me add these plants grow in either
full sunshine or shade, in any type
soil; they are most versatile yet
successful. It's plant which was
very common in the old fashioned
gardens. There's a place for it in
ours.
Many people have often inquired
about keeping brown sugar moist.
Simply keep your package in the
bread box and you will have no

GLASS ON FURNITURE

from Mrs. E. r. T.. Arlington.)
Some time ago some one wrote
in asking about protection for tops
OF bureaus and chests. I believe
they hesitated about using glass and
asked for other suggestions. We
have solid mahogany furniture
throughout the house and also hesi-
tated about glass because we feared
the hotel room" atmosphere. How
ever, being heavy smokers and fear
ing burns, we went ahead with the
glass idea in the bedroom. I can't
tell you how pleased we were with
the results and promptly covered
every table in the house. The glass
does not detract in any way from
the beauty of the furniture and has
more than paid for our investment
IN peace of mind. I can entertain
with pleasure now because we have
no fear of carelessly placed cigar
cites or glasses. In the bedroom
put my dresser scarves on top of the
glass and you actually don't even
know the glass is there except for
the high sheen it has.
