proud OF her dress, too, even if he
didn't say so. She knew he liked the
way it. emphasized her figure. OF
course he had complained about the
cost, adding: IF you want to waste
money on clothes, you should have
married a banker"
But the argument about the dress
was not the real reason she had
left. The breaking point was reached
when Paddy had refused to buy the
darling bonnet displayed in Muir
phys window. "Ridiculous!" he
said.
Ridiculous? How could a hat be
ridiculous when every day, for
nearly month, she had stopped to
look in the window and admire it.
Reaching the apartment door, she
turned the knob, but the door re-
fused to open. Apprehensively, she
turned the knob back and forth,
but to no avail. She was locked out
Kathy blushed furiously with indig-
nation.
Then she exploded:
"Open this door! Do you hear
me?" she shouted, pounding
frantically on the warped panels.
''Its not enough that I work my
self to the bone SO body can
have decent home to live in.
No. l must be locked out of my
own home. My home, mind
yOu!'

has, up to this point, succeeded
in putting over.

Seizure Of the tidelands is one of
many moves in the specialization
program. Back of it all has been
the hidden motive that has domi-
mated the Presidents program of
specialization of the nation, despite
what he may have said to the con-
trary. With gold, silver, coal, iron
and oil, and other natural resources
in the hands of centralized fed
eral government, things that were
never dreamed of by the drafters of
the Constitution, we would be far
on our way to a centralized, social
istic nation, and only step away
from totalitarianism.
The representatives of the
people in Washington, the men,
bers of both the senate and
house, should not hesitate in
preventing such a consumma-
ton while there Is yet time.
Those in Washington who are
promoting a sOcialistic program
know full well that the great
majority Of the people do not
want it, and for that reason
they resort to hidden methods
to achieve their ends. Protec-
ton against such methods lies
with congress.
The states have leased these
tideland oil fields to oil producing
corporations, and the corporations
have invested vast sums in their
development, in plants and equip
ment. Should such arrangements

1t might be good politics for
President Truman to dispense with
the services of a few who have
profited from some of the graft
that has been uncovered rather
than to wait for the Republicans to
use turn the rascals out" as
campaign issue. The stenographer
has her mink coat, and for the
good of the cause could afford to
step out of the White House pic
ture. Sc also could Paul Dawson

JUST REMEMBERIN'

THE RUNAWAY" by Mr.. Nc
Collum in the beef production sec
ton Of the Aug. / issue of Montana
Farmer Stockman was very interest
ing to this writer. / know just
what he was talking about, some
from little experience and maybe
more from listening to the exper-
fences of two other men.
One of these men was an uncle
who "long lined" teams in Texas,
Montana and the Black Hills coun-
try of South Dakota. The other
was a good friend who spent many
years handling s, 8 and 1O-horse
teams.
Me? No I was not in Montana till
1903, never claimed to be an expert
horseman, either with lines or sad
die. oh did manage to handle two
and if necessary could turn four
around if there was space enough
Could ride work horse in at noon
if he kept as many as three feet on
the ground at the same time. How
ever, do love a good horse, thank
you.-Arthur Eaton.

CHEMICALS IN FOOD

WHILE WAR AND crime take
the spotlight, little public heed has
been given to truly alarming 878-
page report of the House Select
Committee to Investigate the Use
of Chemicals in Food Products Yet
here is evidence that the health of
the American people is being I'M
dermined, without our knowledge,
through the introduction of chemi-
Gals of known or unknown toxic eff
fects into common, everyday food
stuffs. The danger of these chemi-
Gals is not a sudden, dramatic death
which commands the headlines. The
danger lies in slow, cumulative eff
fects over the years. The specific
forms such diseases may take are
not yet known, but tumor, cancer
formation and sterility are among
the possibilities
Representatives of independent
medical research groups and farm
and consumer groups testified in
the congressional hearings in sup
port of legislative revisions which
would prohibit the use of chemi-
Gals until proven safe; which would
further prohibit the use of a chemi-
cal substitute for proven nutritional
food factors; for Informative label
ing; for sufficient funds for the
Food and Drug administration to
enforce an effective law, and to
permit it to set standards for food
products sold in interstate COM
merce.
Vigorous opposition to this alto
gether just program is coming from
the chemical industry which sells
tons and tons of these ingredients.
Representative A. L. Miller of Ne
braska, of the select committee, last
March introduced into congress H.R.
1857 to amend the Federal Food
Drug & Cosmetic act by providing
for the regulation of these chemi-
Gals in food.
1t behooves every woman, espe-
cially those organized in clubs, to
study this bill and to urge its adop-
ton with changes if necessary
For study material, bound copy
of the hearings on chemicals in food
products can be obtained from your
congressman, and we especially
recommend the articles on that sub
ject in the July and August mum
bers of Consumer Reports issued by
Consumers Union Mildred Olden.
