Sometimes when one gets fed up with immediate surroundings it is well to look around and see how other people live.
 The Cradle Rocker had occasion to be in Anchorage a few days this week and it was such a boost to morale that you might enjoy reading some comparisons.
 The first and foremost topic is the water. We complain about our drinking water, but folks, we are top O the world by comparison. No wonder the people over there drink anything and everything but water! didn't touch a drop for three days.
 Next is the telephone. In one office it took Is minutes by actual clock measurement to get the op- orator, and then she sounded so weary that one felt guilty for hav- ing annoyed her. The operators must be cruelty overworked I shall never complain about Seward ser vice, we still have them all beat.

It is in Chungking of Sunday morning. The Catholic church in which l kneel is crowded with a cosmopolitan congregation. A Chi nese priest is saying the Mass in an undertone His voice comes to us, even in the front peWS. as a mere humble. so that we cannot recognize the language he is using. But suddenly he turns to the peo- pie and says in clear audible tones: "DominuS vobiScum."
 'DominuS vobiscum." How famil- far and home-like these words of blessing! Sunday after Sunday 1 have heard them in my hometown church-in Catholic churches in Europe, Asia, Africa, South Amer ica and Australia.
 No Latin scholar, l. but here in my little double-column prayer book I have the Mass prayers in Latin in one column of each page and in the other column the exact translation in my native tongue. 'DominuS vobiscum"-"the Lord be with you! So with the help of these and the few other Latin words which the priest says aloud, I am able to check my place in the prayer book and thus follow through the entire Mass with the Chinese priest. just as readily as I can with my good pastor at home. Surely then the Latin of

the Mass is of advantage to the Catholic who travels, and just as surely of no disadvantage to him who stays at home.
 Latin, language known by nearly all cultured people in the long centuries of Christianity, was adopted by the Western Church as the logical language for the sacred liturgy. Latin, now a dead lan- guage-unchanging and unchange- able--is indeed the logical Ian guage for the Church, which has ever been unchanging and un- changeable in it's basic worship and teachings.
 The few Latin words audible at Mass soon become familiar and understood by even the child who reads his prayer book. The two Latin words from the Mass used in this little article, we believe and hope, are now familiar to you, so that you will understand when we most sincerely say to each of our readers: "Dominus vobiscum"

(From Mrs. G. H. s., Silver Spring.
To Mrs. M. M. NJ, Arlington
When gloxinias are started from
a leaf, or very small bulb they
have tendency to grow tall and
spindly for the first season. They
have to be supported with a stick.
The second year they are beauti-
full and after that form a compact
plant with beautiful flowers and
leaves. I have several rose-colored

admires them. Now I have some
dark red ones started. I put mine

then, and in a few weeks they

REFRIGERATOR.

To Mrs. F. F. A.: I recommend
very highly the refrigerator with
the deep freeze compartment at
the top. There is one control
which turns the entire machine
on and regulates the tempera-
ture of the deep freeze. There
is also separate control for the
regular storage space and for the
butter compartment. The deep
freeze accommodates a quantity
of frozen items, depending on the
size and bulk to be frozen. It
keeps ice cream as ice cream
should be kept and not as an
ordinary refrigerator does. The
ice cubes are made in the deep
freeze and are ready to use 20
minutes or one-half hour after
the tray has been put in. The
machine needs defrosting only
three times a year and is a much
simpler task than with the old
type. There is a special humidi-
flying effect in the regular storage
compartment; leftovers do not
need to be covered and fresh veg
etables last an unbelievably long
time. I stored beets for three
weeks, and when used they we're
as fresh and crisp as when pur-
chased. My refrigerator is man.

With 24.1 Perl ,OOOin9Months

The agency's study showed TO-

last year, compared with 11,22s
in 1910. The 1948 rate was 24.1
per 1000 population.
The District Office of Vital
Statistics, however, pointed. out
that there are many more births
in the District because of large
numbers of women who come to
Washington hospitals from Mary
land and Virginia to have their
babies.
The total number of births
which occurred in the District
last year was 27,867. During the

.Lusk Asks Cogswe||
To End Rent Control

Rufus s. Lusk, president of the
Washington Taxpayers Associa-
ton. announced today he has
written District Rent Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell urging him to
announce publicly that there "is
no longer any necessity for the re-
newal" of the rent control law.
The District Rent Control Act
expires next June 80.
When the question Of renewal
comes up again" Mr.. Lusk wrote.
there will be only one argument
available-just one-and that is
that some people want to get
something for nothing"
He said there never has been a
time in the history Of Washington
when there was as much residen-
tial construction as during the last
five years.
He urged Mr.. Cogswell to an
nounce publicly that there is no
longer a need for renewal of the
Rent Control Act "since the emer-
gency has passed or certainly will
have passed seven months from
now"
Mr.. Lusk pointed out that he
helped organize the committee
which wrote the Rent Control Act
and was the committees executive
officer.
But this is 1949," he wrote,
land since that committee was
formed we have built housing for
almost 100000 people and have
under construction in one phase
or another sufficient units for an
additional 100000. It is time to
lift this cold, clammy hand of
