The project is the furnishing and erectioh of new numbers for every residence jffthe city. These plates wfU be "placed either on the house or erected in the lawn. It has been many years since a city-wide house numbering program was conducted and if you want new ’ ■ T ■ ■ ’ t* numbers at your residency, all you need do is to call the Junior C. of C. k and the job will be done. o o-—• - —• ' - Oscar Ewing, the federal Social Security administrator, has ruled that Indiana cannot use the $1,290,009 left, over from federal to pay old age and depeiid«fit children’ benefits in the state. The i federal administrator’s ruling may force the calling of a special session of the legislature, for the state cannot close its welfare departments. . Either congress to change the law and permit inspection of welfare rec- \.- ords, or the Indiana‘general asp scmbly will have to meet and repeal its former action. The people should not suffer as a result of the conflict between the fed- \ eral and estate law makers. \ 0 o The average American feels that congress gets very little done in a i session of the nation's legislative And it's not. all|he fault of <hh members of congress.

Realizing this situation, Chairman Robert Rampseck of the Civil Service Commission, recommends that congress be divided into two bodies —one to decide legislation and the other to handle the problems of constituents back home. That seems like a’ sensible suggestion, but it's doubtful if the members df congress will agree to the plan. A congressman’si job takes on the 'functions of 1 a salesman for his district.

Vigilance Is Important In Treating Head Injury
LN dealing with head injuries. | <o prevalent in these, days oq Y" automobile accidents, it is qt! i great importance that the patienH ■ \ be carefully examined at once' and observed for a ? period of weeks thereafter. ( . When such a case is first < brought to the hospital' the physician. must immediately detez- \ mine whether or not the patier ' Is Iff shock, a condition which can *?\be remedied by the giving of' sMt solution into a vein. Rarely, whoie blood or plasma may be required, \ Another prime consideration is the maintenance of adequate breathing. If there is some obstruction to the breathing, or if " there is unconsciousness, a tra- ' cpheotomy (the making of an opening iff thetrachea, the tune leading, from the throat to the tubes of the Jungs) may be performed. ‘ ,’v [ The patient should be place.! - ? i on his stomach with his head . turned to one side. This allows the secretions from, the throat to drain out.

In this event, the - \ skujl may be opened by the brain surgeon, the site .of the possiole hemorrhage sought and the bleeding The pupils thmild ba carefully

The explanation in this case was, that the machine guns on the planes were short-circuite<L Luekiiy, no one was killed. Are we growing more careless, or is it a case \of culpability, or pure negligence? \ —o oAid To industry:— New Hampshire has launched a \ $4,000,000 campaign with state funds ,to spur the expansion of industries already operating within* the state and to encourage new ones. The move is an attempt to forestall a downward trend in the state’s industrial development.’ The idea of aiding industry and inducing hew business to come into a state is not new. It has been used with some success by the South for several years, and many firms have been led to lo? cate in the South that might otherwise=bave remained in the North. But for a long time in many states and localities the only industries » . ■; . ,• ■' • 7 ■ > - and occupations which were encouraged were those t already established. \ Now localities such as the hardcoal mining regions of Pennsylvania and the once purely agricultural South are seeking industrialization. Campaigns on a city and state level offer funds and other attractions which will aid a company which seeks new facilities to locate in a area. There is a realization among all groups that the only way to keep a region prosperous is to keep its people employed. Faced with lack of employment, the young men and women of a community will go off to seek it where it is available. In order to survive and remain prosperous, new ways to stimulate industrial and commer- - \’ =■*=- cial growth are'constantly sought. The new attitude? aids business and benefits air the people.
| watched since a difference in the | size of the two pupils may also mean the presence of hemorrhage. | Changes in the pulse rate, the blood pressure and the breathing rate may also give an indication as to the extent of-the head injury. A punciure of the spinal canal is advisable in every case of head injury, to establish - whether or not any bleeding into the Brain has taken place. This shouldj done cautiously, for ft may proVe injurious if too much fluid is removed. Skull X-rays should be taken in all cases of head injury to make sure no fracture is present. Any drug that depresses the individual, such as a narcotic, should be avoided. .In, all cases of head injury; careful vigilance is the important ru'e to be' followed. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mrs. J.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ' TWO WEEKS later Millicent called While Julie was at the studio. *TU pick you up at four, if you can get away, and then we’ll have supper at our apartment later with the boys. Would you like that?* "Oh, yes, Mulicent, that would be lovely! Thanks a lot. I can get away a little earlier, if you wish. About three," let’s say. It was arranged. Millicent was there promptly and Julie saw that she was dressed in a denim slack suit underneath her leopard coat. The incongruity of the combination startled her a bit, but by now she realized that Jeff’s sister-in-law was an individualist. "Hope you like chow mein,* said MilMcent as she drove the car into the main highway. “Oh, I do. It’s one- of my pet dishes. Mother won’t make it very often, for she says it doesn’t agree with Dad, but when Fm cook and the kids—Carol and Alex and l—are alone, we always have it!* •You must have lots of fun. I was an only child.* She added, “You could put ah T on only! Mother used to import kids to play with me, but it isn’t the same at all. Makes young*uns terribly selfcentered, I think. They need to divide things with someone; I’m going to have at least three.* Julie stole a quick glance at her. Millicent looked happy and she knew that she was excited about the house. They turned into the drive which wound \up through the gnarled old apple trees, now bare in the November winds. Two men were working on the grounds, raking and burning leaves. "We’re trying to get things In shape. After we get the painting done, we may move right into it. Adam gets tired of small apartments, and I don’t blame him. His mother didn’t want us to buy the place. But we managed to get it all settled before she could Interfere.* - Julie hoped she didn’t show her astonishment at Millicent’s frank words. Jeff must have told his brother that he had asked Julie to marry him. Otherwise she couldn’t imagine his wife confiding in her. She said, "Oh, I don’t believe Mrs. Douglas could know what real joy a place like this would be for a couple. Especially someone who planned on having three children! Can’t you just see ’em swarming up the trees and fishing in that little creek? I remember Alex used * . -V I ; \

You’ll find opposition, but don’t let it get you down. Grab Jeff quick! There art half a dozen girls who envy you already." t
“Really!" Julie was startled. "He never mentioned anyone else.” "Oh, Julie, life can be such a niess. I might as well tell you, Adam ami I were about to divorce over this fish plant business. I hated the thought of coming back to Bayport to live. Isn’t that awful? But I think it’s going to work out Jeff and Adam brought me out here one evening to look at this plaee. The vine maples were scarlet, and the fan flowers were blooming. The tenant farmer who looks after the , place had a roaring fire tn the fireplace. Gosh! I just fell in love with the house. Arid from that moment you couldn’t have dragged me away. When or If I get bored, I can always go back to Portland for a weekend.* \ They were sitting tn the car in the drive. Julie felt shaken with the information that Millicent had dropped to her. . "It’s sweet of you to tell me. I hope that you and Adam will be very happy here." “If I get off the track, remind me of an this, won’t you?" Millicent, not waiting for her answer, started to get out of the car. “Oh, Julie! That bed of bronze chrysanthemums! Wouldn’t a florist be jealous?” Julie, going over the house with her, wondered about the fragile quality of the happiness which MiUicent possessed. Was her marriage on such an unstable balance that she had to reassure herself every few weeks? What, exactly, was wrong with it?
They went over the downstairs, then upstairs to see the sunny bedrooms which faced the bay. “Here’s a room for the nursery ” said Millicent. “We are expecting Adam Junior next June.” “How nice!" Julie exclaimed. She’d not dreamed their secret. . “I’m giving Mother Douglas another chance. Last spring I told Adam Td never, never enter that house again!” Julie wished Millicent had not gone into details. “I’m sure Mrs. Douglas hai hyd

a very trying period since the death of her husband. It must be very difficult to make one’s adjustment after living with a person so many years.” MUlicent paused in the han and faced Julie, smiling. “You’re perfectly right! It was crude of me, and silly, too, to talk of family troubles. Anyway, I hope you’ll forgive me?” "Oh, yes, of course!* Julie said quickly. “Let’s forget it. We younger people have so much to be thankful for we can afford to be generous.* “Right you are." Millicent spread out colorful chintz and other drapery samples. She got out a color chart and then said, "If you’ll go ith me some Saturday,- we’ll pick the wallpaper.* "I’m thrilled over your trusting me with so important a project. It win be fun." The girls were still brooding over colors and charts when they heard a loud honking in the drive. Millicent hurried to the windows.* "It’s Adam and Jeff!" She called down, “Up here, fellows!* - “We thought you’d been kidnaped!* shouted her husband. “We’re hungry!* "Come on up!" “It’s almost dark,* objected Adam. “How about going home so you can come back sometime?* He'added, "Jeff’s famished!" “Very well, my lord! Be down in a sec."
She came back to the table where Julie was already folding scraps of samples. “Still interested in helping me?" “Oh, yes!” said Julie. *TII be living out here, practically* « “Better marry Jeff, and buy that house nekt door, rd love you for a neighbor!” Millicent gave her a quick hug. Julie’s cheeks glowed. “Maybe I Will!” she said in a low voice. Jeff and Adam were coming to ! meet them as they left the house. “My wife been working you to the bone?" asked Adam. Julie laughed. “It’a been fun. Tm dying to get into production on the drapes and slip-covers." Jeff squeezed her hands. “Save some of that energy for your own decorating problems,” he whispered. He pulled her behind a clump of laurel and kissed her soundly. “Will you marry me?” he said. “Os course, Jeff,” she laughed, (To Be <■

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THE Adam Douglases* apartment was small, but compact and beautifully appointed. Miliicent made coffee and set the table while JuUe made the salad. The boys smoked in the living room and exchanged gossip, The chow mein was ready. “Before we Mt down, I have some champagne for us to celebrate. Julie has just told me she will marry me," Jeffrey said when Millicent came in to call them to the table. “Oh, Julie! Why didn’t you tell me?” cried his sister-in-law. “I—Oh, it’s all been so sudden,* said Julie breathlessly. . V\ Kisses were exchanged and the champagne sipped. “Oh, I think it’s perfectly wonderful!" Milly said. “And to think maybe I had something to do with it!” "Darling, you probably browbeat the girl into it!” chided Adam. "Well, here’s to your happiness, dear ones!" \ , When at last they were alone in Jeff’s car, he asked, "When?* holding her hand as he drove out onto the ocean highway. j "How about June?* "Darling, you wouldn’t make me wait until June, now would you?” | "It’s going to be a surprise to my folks, Jeff. But Til think about it. April?" "April? All those months! Do you believe in long engagements ? Oh, honey, anything you say! I suppose a church wedding?" "I’ve always wanted one. Mother would expect it, too." "And I, too. We’ll do the traditional things, let your family have its rightful part in it—" Julie said, "How will your mother feel, Jeff? Is it going to be too much of a surprise to her?" “No. It shouldn’t be. I took you to meet her especially. She knew that I hoped to marry you." “Oh, Jeff, ril try to make her like me!" Julie said in an anxious voice. Jeff stopped the car, then turned it out into a side view-point space. He turned off the ignition and then, taking Julie’s hands, said, going to please her, darling, rm sure. Mother’s not a very affectionate person—rather cold by nature. But she’s very understanding, has a keen sense of the need for planning ahead. Now let’s talk about us.” \ It was so easy to forget all her uneasy little fears in the excitement of their plans. “Would you like to build a new house, darling, or buy an older one that’s ready to move into?” “I—somehow just now it doesn’t matter too much, Jeff. Whatever you think is best for ua. Maybe that’s because I'm so haoDVl*
'Cooks' Comer' 1 I-... BY MARY R. Bruiting is Easy n \ Take advantage of the broiler qnlt in your stove if you haven’t yet discovered what mouth-water-ing foods can be prepared by broiling methods. There’s no greasy flavor yrith broiled foods. The excess fat is rendered out and drips into the lower section of tbe broiler pan. The intense heat locks in the flavor and juices at the beginning of the cooking process. This results in a flavorful, easy-t&dlgest food. Plan whole meals broiled together to save time, fuel and energySelect fruits and vegetables that require the same cooking time or half the time as the meat they will accompany. Some vegetables and fruits could be added when the meat is turned. ~ Meat for broiling must be tender before cooking but it need not be an expensive cut. Ground beef is a good broiling meat. Try this recipe: Beef Cheeseburgers I pound ground beef >4 cup grated processed American cheese 1 small onion, grated | 2 tablespoons catsup 1 teaspoon salt H teaspoon pepper 4 slices bacon Preheat broiler 5 minutes.

Jeff kissed her. "We woht try to settle everything tonight. After ah, ft’s been a Mg evening. One church wedding, about the first Sunday in April One honeymoon, perhaps tn Mexico Ctty. Would you really like that, dear?" "Yes, Jeff. Mexico City! It’s always seemed romantic to me.” “We can be there to a *ew hours out ot Loe Angeles, by plana.

How would she explain to Mr. Carey that Jeff wouldn’t want her to work after their marriage. Perhaps there was someone else who could take her place. That pretty Tyler girt had made a good impression on him when she’d interviewed her last sass. .But then. Peg was getting ready to go back to school for her final term. J • as Julie’s mother gave an announcement party the second week to December. JuUe greeted the girls of her acquaintance who lived tn town, and several aororite sisters who had come eepeciallyfor the affair. Several girls bad already realized the real reason for the party, so it was not too big a surprise winn the small band-painted cards were found under napkins at the refreshment table. Juke looking very pretty to a blue crepe drees, received congratulations as calmly as she could. The girls flocked around, asking atMut the wTHtding plana. It was to be April ninth, at the Presbyterian church. A number ot then would servo aa bridesmaids. “Carol’s a bit young, but she’s to toe maid of honor, of course," Julie aaM. "I just couldn’t e ■tarried without Carol’s heto!" put her arms about her sister, who had recently had a birthday. Carol was almost as tall as Julie now.

Julie dreaded the hour or so that she would need to be there with Mr Douglas and her critical friends.
