Children's House-one of its psychia-
trio consultants, Doctors Agnes B.
Greig, Katherine Rice or Sidney
Berman sees the child and his
parents and then recommends the
kind of help the child needs.
There is no fixed program but
one is planned for each individual
child. Some come for half a day
and are part of carefully chosen
small group with a skillful, un-
derstanding leader. Here they
slowly learn to find themselves in
relation to other people and the
world they live in.
Some children in the groups have
individual therapy also. Other
children come just for individual
therapy, called play therapy.
During his hour with the therapist
the child is free to play with any
of wide variety of toys. Through
his use of these toys the child
plays out his feelings about him
self and other people. The thera-
pist understanding what is being
"said" is able to guide the child
toward healthier, happier life.
In addition to the help given
directly to the child, counselling is
given to parents. This gives them
an opportunity to discuss their
problems in relation to the child
and to discover how they can best
help him in his progress. DR.. VIM.
Granatir acts as supervisor to the
counsellors.
Children's House is a non-profit
private organization. Altho fees
are charged they are not large
enough to defray expenses. If
this were done many children who
need it's services would be de-
prived of them. Children of any
race or creed are eligible.

on the same principle as the type
X-ray machine found in doctors
offices. Here again, my description
of its operation will be exceeding
Iy rough.
It seems that electrons are shot
from a special gun into dough-
nut-like apparatus. Here the cleo
irons whirl about, travelling within
a smaller circumference on each
trip around. Each trip around
(don't quote me on this) they col
lect dome three hundred volts.
When they have collected ten thou
sand volts, being in the center of
the "doughnut," they strike a small
platinum pin, and, as they are
abounding in kinetic energy and as
the energy has to go somewhere, it
is directed through a tube to the
material which is to be X-rayed
penetrating the material (up to
sixteen inches thick as compared
with the two inch maximum of a
large machine Of the type found in
doctors offices) the "energy" (I
am not at all positive of this term)
makes an impression on film behind
the object.
There were also numerous inter-
esting displays in the corridors of
the main building. The clarity with
which they were explained, and the
completeness Of them indicated
careful preparation.
As a whole, ! considered the
tour most enlightening, and I sug-
gest that anyone who missed it this
year, try to take it in next year.

First prize went to Warren
Usher, II, of Hyattsville and
second to William Colliver, II,
of Greenbelt. They received a
$100 and a fifty dollar bond
respectively. The three prize
winners and their parents,
high school principals and members
of Prince Georges and Montgomery
County school boards were guests
at the presentation which took
place last week at White Oak.
The essay with which young

The Naval Ordnance Laboratory
impressed me as a most efficiently
organized, smooth running plant.
The value of its work is readily
distinguished, for, even though the
vast majority of its findings were
not made public, the few advance
ments displayed were sufficient to
allow the layman to grasp an idea
of its achievements.
The wind tunnel proved exceed
ingly interesting to me as | had
never before seen one. Though the
one at the Naval Ordnance Labora-
tory was built for models, it gave
the same results as one Of larger
scale.
Although / am not, by any
means, an expert on the subject, /
shall attempt briefly to describe
the wind tunnels operation. At one
end of two tubes, approximately
two and one-half or three feet in
diameter, was a giant sphere fifty
two feet in diameter. The air in
this sphere was pumped out by
three huge motors which were
brought here from Germany. The
interior of the sphere then became
nearly complete vacuum. At the
opposite ends Of the tubes were air
intakes. Inside the tubes were two
curved surfaces which, when moved
apart or together, controlled the
speed of the air rushing into the
sphere when the valves were open
ed. Directly behind these surfaces
were placed the models. As the air
went past the model, cameras re-
corded the waves produced by the
swiftly moving air. Or, as was the
case when saw il, screen could
be substituted for the camera 50

Veterans with service-connected
disabilities rated 80 to go percent,
and who have one or more depen-
dents, will receive additional
allowances for their dependents by
virtue of a recently enacted law,
Veterans Administration said TO-
day.
Previously, only veterans rated
60 percent and up were entitled TO
dependency allowances. The group
rated 80 to go percent was made
eligible by Public Law 339 of the
S1st Congress, approved October
10 and effective December /.
Monthly additional amounts for
veterans disabled in wartime,
based upon 100 percent disability,
are; wife alone, $21; wife and one
child, $35; wife and two children,
$45.50; wife and three or more
children, $56; one child (no wife) +,
$14; two children, $24.50; three
or more children, $35; one depen-
dent parent, $3.50; and two de-
pendent parents, $35.
OF these amounts, the veteran
receives the percentage his dis
ability rating bears to the total.
A veteran with so percent rating,
for example, would receive half
of the above rates.

Shormon Pictured as Possible
Rival of Margaret in Love
Social Life Reported
Curbed by Douglas to
Avoid Embarrassment
Ay the Associotsd Press

LONDON, July 16.-The ques-
ton Of whether Princess Margaret
Rose and her Arizona girl friend,
Sharman Douglas, might fall in
love with the sames man was
raised here today.
Noel Whitcomb, the Daily Mir
ror columnist, wrote that Ameri-
can Ambassador Lewis w. Douglas
had cut down on the social life
of Sharman, his 20-year-o
daughter, in fear Of just such a
situation.
A Buckingham Palace spokes-
man observed:
Naturally there will be no COM
ment from here"
The Ambassadors household
likewise was not talking publicly
about the story. The United States
Embassy was closed for the week
end.
Favorite Of Royalty.
Sharman shines as one of the
brightest stars in London's young
er social set and is favorite Of
British royalty. Princess Margaret,
now 10. captivated Sharman when
she arrived with her parents in
1947.
"She's so friendly and cute" /"
Sharman explained.
Sharman herself is right cute and
friendly. The royal family likes
her. The Duchess Of Kent once
was overheard describing her: "A
sweet child-and unspoiled."
Invariably, when the spotlight's
glare is on Sharman, she mur-
murs What would they think in
Arizona?"
She and Margaret often go to
the theater together and backstage
also. to mingle with the artists.
Word got around that they and 10
other girls danced the French can

a party for $50 persons the other
night. with the standard f1inging

panties.
Names Linked to 2 Men.
Match-makers at times have
linked the name of one or the
other to that of the Marques Of
Milford Haven. young cousin of
King George vi. The Marques Of
Blanford, 23-year-old cousin of
Winston Churchill, is another
among their occasional escorts.
The Douglas family previously
has sought to scotch the rumors
of romantic attachment by
Sharman. On a visit to New York
last fall, Sharman herself made
the observation: There's safety
in three boy friends"
She didn't name any boy friends.

bassy staff remarked here last
year:

versal was that a quorum Of the
House Labor Committee was not
