She makes friends with strange.
people instead of sticking by old
friends we have all known for
years. She goes 10y riding with
them and even to the theatef.
Worst of all she goes to picnies
on Sunday. She taught us chill
dren that was sinful to do on the
Lords Day.
Just because my health is poor
and am unable to do her laundry
and to take her on pleasure trips,
she tells my heighbors that I am
neglecting her. She does con-
tribute to the household ex-
penses, but / only have her do
this so she will feel Independent.
Then she tells her neighbors in a
Dragging way that she pays her
own way.
I'm sure she gives her strange
friends expensive gifts I'm wor-
ried now for fear she will give
away her property. Is there any
legal way we can prevent her
doing it? Her friends are women
so they can't &c her property by
marriage.

Answer:
| think your mother is just hav-
ing little fling because she
missed so much during the time
she was nursing your father. As
you say there is nothing wrong
with her mind, there is really
nothing you can do to keep her
from enjoying herself,
Everyone is entitled to Judge
for themselves, after they are
grown whether they should go
to the theater or on a picnic or
not. And if she has the money to
pay her way, she is certainly en-
titled TO do as she pleases.
! Of course. l am not able to
judgeS whether these Strange
friends are just interesting peo-
pie she has recently met or gold
diggeFs, who are out after her
property.
| Naturally, l think she should
leave her property to her chill
dren, because if she were poor
her children would be the ones
she had to depend on and not
fair weather friends.
! My advice to you and your sis
ter, if you want to keep the prop
erty in the family, is to stop
critieizing the old lady and make
home and family more interest
ing for her. Perhaps if you would
take her for a ride or to the
movies occasionally, she would
not be SO eager to go with
strangers.
But l certainly do not think
she should expect you to do her
laundry if she is able to hire
someone to do it for her.
Good Luck,
LOUISA.

PASSAIC, N. j., Sept. 26.-Johr
r. O'Brien, senior vice comman-
dant of the Marine Corps League
says Gen. Macarthur has ap-
proved the leagues offer to send
beer to Americans fighting in
Korea.
The league wants to send an
extra can of beer daily to every
American fighting in Korea, re-
gardless of his branch of service.
The allotment would be in addi-
ton to the free daily can now
provided for combat men.
Il hasten to accept your offer
to contribute beer to the welfare
and comfort of our unified fight
ing forces in Korea, who are CIV
ing their all to re-establisn
peace" Mr.. O'Brien quoted Gen.
MacArthur's message.
Such expressions from patri-
otic organizations will continue to
maintain morale at a high level,
the essage continued. Mr.
OBrien said it was relayed to him
by a Navy communications Office
in New York.
He said Gen. Macarthur told
him to deliver the beer to the

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-1wo
new facets in the fantastic puzzle
over the fortune of an elderly &C.
centric, the late Charles Babonet
confronted public administrator
investigators today.
They dug up $4,680 worth o1
$40 gold coins in the back yard

also used the name Frank Landl
Mr.. Landl died last February
Charles Babonet, 66, died August

a total fortune that may reach
$5OO,OOO.
Neighbors recalled seeing
Charles digging at times in his
brothers yard. The gold was
added to Charles estate.
The next puzzler is torn piece
of what appeared to be 1941 will

the coins were run through the
counting machines.
But the telephone company,
which has no official check of the
money until it is run through 80
counting machine, is unable to
establish how much of the money
was taken, or when and therefore
will not file an affidavit charging
theft.
Miami Detective Chief H. V.
Howard said he could not sign an
affidavit because no one had filed
an official complaint. An admis-
sion is not sufficient evidence to
prosecute, he said.
Thus, said Mr.. Zarowny, no
crime has been established. And
until a crime is established. the
IL persons can no longer be held
nor can they be charged.
I'VE will continue the investi-
CATION" said Mr.. ZaroWny," and
hope that some way we can estab-
lish a crime"
James S. Rainwater, attorney
for the IL persons, said he would
file suit for recovery of the money

Underwriters Study
Problems Under New
Social Security Law

Problems arising for life insur-
ance agents under the new social
security law today were to occupy
the attention of the National As
sociation of Life Underwriters.
The 5000 life insurance agents
are holding their 61st annual
convention in the Hotel Statler.
The meeting today entered the
second of a five-day session.
One of today's highlights was
to be the Women's Quarter Mil
lion Dollar Round Table - for
women who have each written
that amount of life insurance in
a year. This was to be a luncheon
and business meeting, presided
over by Mrs. Elsie Doyle of Gin
cinnati, national chairman of this
group. Tonight the group will have
it's annual dinner.
The women underwriters lunch
con will be held Thursday for all
women life insurance agents in
the organization. Miss Helen Ann
Pendergast of Washington, ma
tional chairman of this group, will
preside. She said there are about
5000 women in the life insurance
business in this country.
Agents attending the conven-
ton are particularly interested in
the forthcoming Interpretation by
the Social Security Board of the
new law covering life insurance
agents. The problem is whether
some are to be considered en-
ployes of company under whose
auspices they write insurance or
are to be rated as independent
contractors. Most insurance firms
have their own retirement plan,
but if the agent is an independent
contractor, he is not an employe.
An independent contractor is to
pay 2A per cent of his income,
up to $500 a month toward social
security, compared with an insur-
ance employe who pays only 1la
per cent. with the employer pay
ing the other 112 per cent. Some
agents want to retain their in
dependent contractors status, but
at the same time want the COM
pany to pay a portion toward So
cial security.
The associations national coun-
Gil, headed by Judd C. Benson of
Cincinnati, today was to receive
reports of committees.

Council was to hear Dwayne Or
ton, director of education of the
