It's hard for Mrs. F. to believe
that even twins can be jealous of

it seems to be due to differences
In ages. All parents have been
warned that a child resents the
arrival of a newcomer in the fam
lily. Surely that wouldn't explain
jealousy between twins. That ter
rible case in Central California,
where girl shot and killed her
twin sister because she hated her,
has upset me. I don't know what
we parents are going to dol"
We parents ought, at least, to
do what good parents have always
done. Mrs. F., and that is to avoid
making comparisons between chill
dren. Even twins differ (although
in that California case the experts
all agreed that the killer was
mentally diseased. as you yourself
must have recognized from the
beginning. Twins differ more in
temperament than in any other
one respect, and it's too easy for
parents to say, why can't you
be quiet and well-behaved like
your sister?" or why can't you
keep your clothes neat and clean
like your sister," or why can't
you be friendly with everybody. as
your brother is?"
Psychiatrist Edmund Ziman
suggests that parents should make
1t a fixed rule to eliminate three
types of expressions from their
vocabulary:
l. All statements ending in
"than you," such as better than
you, brighter than you, cleaner
than you, more obedient than you,
and the like.
2. All statements beginning with
mot as" and ending with "as
you"-for example not as noisy as
you, not as disorderly as you.
8. All statements intended to
encourage a child and beginning
with "see how" such as, "See how
he eats everything on his plate"
or See how she puts her things
away" AS far as that goes, jeal-
ousy among adults is all too COM
mon.
Comparisons should not be
made with any other children,

brothers and sisters to hate each

Asked about a $500 item for
travel, Col. Hayes said the Atomic
Energy Commission is running
various courses for civil defense
training and it "has been rather
embarrassing for the District" to
ask private individuals to take
QUITO flown training courses at
their own expense. He cited an
instance in which several persons
should have been sent to a train
ing course but only one man was
found willing to pay his own way.

they will be gaining from u.s.

is too late for us to receive any

tower would protect other COM
munities, hundreds of other OBJ
Servation posts installed in other

trict. he explained.
The budget, it was explained,
also includes $4,000 to collect
and maintain a list of supplies
and specialists available for
emergencies. AS for microfilming,

ed $4,000 would be used to make

Situation Not Ideal.
And certainly they are not in
an ideal situation to get such
care when they are in homes a
mile or two up cattle lanes, where
the visiting nurse has to get out
of her car four or five times to
open gates. And they cannot get
such care from parents or grand
parents who are unable to compre-
hend the Importance Of the meas
ures to be taken.
Little toes are curling up, ten
donS and hamstrings are tighten
ing. Conditions are setting in
which could easily be -emedied
by constant and proper care now
but which will take surgery and
difficult orthopedic measures later
And it will be difficult for the Grip
pied children of iWythe County
to get such treatment later.
The worst instance of this the
writer came upon was one of the
best-looking blue-eyed baby boys
he had ever seen. The people OF
Wythe County have good-looking
children. But mothers are likely to
look like grandmothers before
they have finished bearing chill
dren because the life of a woman
on these places, which are hardly
big enough to be called farms, is
a hard one.

SIS Million Expansion
AT Soldiers Home
Revealed at Hearinq

The Soldiers Home of 500 acres
here, where three big building
projects are proposed, originally
cost about 100000, but now is
estimated to be worth not less
than $40 million.
Testimony to this effect was
laid before a House appropria-
tions subcommittee recently by a
home official, asking for funds tc
build a new dormitory and to en-
large the hospital there.
Col. D. c. Cordiner, acting gov
ernor of the home, explained to
the committee that three big
building projects are contem-
plated on the historic grounds.
The home itself now wants
Congress to approve use OF
$12,750,000 from the homes own
trust funds for the dormitory and
hospital projects. But these struc-
lures are only part of a master
plan, estimated to cost eventu-
ally between $50 million and $35
million.
The master plan, Col. Cordiner
explained, has been approved by
the Army Chief of Engineers and
the Budget Bureau. It calls for
expansion of facilities to house
4,500 veterans, instead Of the
present 1880.
There has been no major i'm
provement at the Soldiers Home
since 1870" the acting governor
told the committee.

nounced construction of a big

House Group 10 Delay
Stand on Milk Rules
Until D. {. Report Is In

A House District subcommittee
voted today to await report from
the District Commissioners before
deciding what course to take on
proposed legislation to relax rules
on milk importation here.
Chairman Abernethy, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, said a report
on the subcommittee's hearings
had been sent to the Commis-
sioners.
The proposed legislation would
repeal the 1925 Milk Act, requir-
ing the District to sell milk COM
ing from dairies inspected by the
District Health Department. BY
setting up United States Public
Health Service standards, it would
permit importation of milk from
any part of the country.
The Commissioners already have
relaxed the barrier on milk i'm
portation somewhat by approving
chemical as we'll as steam Sterili-
zation.
After a controversial hearing,
the Commissioners decided that
farmers using steam sterilization
would receive Is points and those
using chemicals, 10 points, toward
a perfect grading.
Advocates of chemical steriliza-
ton, prohibited before the new
ruling, said more milk now will
come to the District with no in
crease in price.
Those opposed to repeating the
1925 Milk Act insist health service
requirements are not stringent
enough, and that veterinarians
should continue to inspect dairies
from which Washington's milk
comes.
In another action, the subcom-
mittee directed that the legisla-
ton to enlarge the powers of the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission be reported to
the full District Committee with
out recommendation.
