ADVICE TO TEEN-AGER.

fords, and SO do most Of the girls
In our class. So far as I know
none of them mind wearing them
These shoes come In various
colors. Maybe you could get them
in white with black. red green or
blue. instead of brown.
1t won't hurt her popularity and
she could possibly be starting q

or shoes. Personality is what
counts. Your daughter should
realize the Importance Of these

(From Mrs. J. r. r., RiUerdale.)
Several readers lately have
asked where violet plants may be
purchased. I've never seen ar
answer SO would like to suggest
florist on the Baltimore boulevard
Just beyond Berwyn. left side OF
the road headed toward Balti-
more. I have forgotten the name
but a sign is prominently dis
played advertising Is varieties OF
violets.
Also several readers have re-
ouested. information about hard
to-get books. One wanted a spe-
cial edition Of Pinocchio and there
were several others. Have you
tried ordering through a local
book department? However. II
the books are out Of print and
can't be ordered from the pub
Usher, ask the book department
to advertise. The ad Is placed in
a book retailers pamphlet with
a NATIONWIDE circulation. This
takes about six to eight weeks for
a reply. You do not pay to ad-
vertise and are under no obliga-
ton to take the copy if you con-
slider the price too high or the
volume not exactly as ordered.
The store I used to work for had
great success obtaining long for
gotten books. If the local stores
do not advertise, try the book
department of the store at 2l2
North Howard street, Baltimore.
Hope this helps.

ity and the maintenance of econ
omic stability
Also, the measure to up the
payroll tax and bring about 20
million more folks within the
fold of the social security bene-
fits was introduced. The predic-
ton is being made by observers
here that the measure also will
be passed to bring back those
ousted from provisions of the
bill by the 80th congress and to
add self-employed such as the
professional men, non-prCfit en-
ployees and domeStics. Likely,
farmers will not be included but
only for the reason that some
farm leaders have taken a stand
against being included.
Indications are, according to
these observers in the field Of
social welfare, that the states
will be voted some 800 million
dollars more for aid to children
and the aged and blind on relief
rolls; that more money will be
voted for school lunches; that
old-age benefits will be upped
about so percent and that the
payroll tax on both employer
and employee will be at least
one and one-half per cent next
year instead of the present one
per cent.
Still in the realm of prediction
it appears that the congress pro-
poses to vote in favor of bill
offered in the senate by Senator
Lister Hill, of Alabama, and in
the House by Congressman w. R.
Poage, of Texas, which would
give REA-type loans for rural
telephones. The administration of
the bill may be undertaken by
the Rural Identification admin
istration. Senator Hill said that
even if his bill were made law
and carried out there would still
be half the farms without tele-
phones, and that there were less
rural telephones now than in
1920.
William c. Henry of the North
ern Ohio Telephone company,
speaking against the measure,
declared the bill would instant
ly threaten and ultimately COM
pletely destroy" the 5000 men,
bers of the U. S. Independent
Telephone Association. He sug-
gested instead that congress
authorize REA to make long
term loW-interest loans for the
purpose.
The house armed service sub
committee has approved a bill
authorizing the establishment of
800 mile long, IS million dol
lar proving ground for testing
guided missiles. The air force had
asked for 200 million dollars for
the proposal.

With Congress attempting to
hammer out the third major Ia
Dor policy in IA years, the house
approved the first major defic-
iency appropriation bill of the
session calling for $471, 100000,
it slapped at the utility lobbyists
by providing $2,500,000 for a
TVA steam plant at Johnsonville,
Tenn, and it gave Mike Strauss
his job back as commissioner OF
the reclamation department.
All these actions were to undo
something the 80th congress had
done. The deficiency appropria-
ton bill was to provide funds
slashed from various budgets by
the 80th congress-the IVA
steam plant was denied the IVA
in the 80th congress; the Taft
Hartley act was passed by the
80th congress; and Mike Strauss
was uShered out of his job by
the 80th congress with a rider on
the appropriations bill.
So the congress was Just TAX
ing up the slack and as matter
of fact, has done nothing of i'm
portance~ SO far in the way of
new legislation. All the import
ant administration measures are
still begged down in committees
and likely will be for several
weeks to come.
1t appears that the fight to re-
peal the Taft-Hartley act which
management wants and labor
despises, or to replace both with
something of compromise

Most important measure to be

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Veterans who plan to convert
their National Service Life In
surance to one Of the six per-
manent plans now available are
reminded of two points to take
into consideration.
l. "GT" insurance may be con-
verted in amounts from $1,000 to
$4,000, in multiples of $500.
2. If the veteran. decides to
convert only part of his insur-
ance he may continue the re-
mainder on a term basis.
VA insurance officials also
point out that veterans now pay
ing premiums on a monthly basis,
on either term or permanent
plans, can change to a quarterly,
semi-annual or annual payment
schedule. Less frequent premium
due dates may make it more con-
Venient for the veteran to keep
his insurance in force and offer
small saving in rates. BY pay
ing every three, six or twelve
months there is also less chance
of the veterans policy lapsing be-
cause he fOrgets to send in the
necessary premiums on time.

Who will come in time of trouble
Helping folks through flood and fire
Working oft where there is danger

For the Red Cross charges nothing
For their work have been told.
When they come for my donation

For know what they do for us
So I'll try to do my part
When they come to you collecting
Won't you try to understand
That they need all we can give them
For we all can lend hand.
Lots of children would go hungry
And they often would be cold
If it were not for Red Cross
Giving food and help untold.

They will stand behind you too
If you ever face disaster
Count on them, they'll you through
