One of the first witnesses to be called will be former President Herbert Hoover, whose administration of Belgian re- ; Hef was one of the outstanding accomplishments of the Wilson Administration during World War No, 1.

Sixty p<r cent of the fatalities are said to children and twenty-five per cent, women. It is also reported that Tokyo propagandists are taking advantage of the situation. Bundles of rice are being dropped from Jap planes with messages saying that the Japs are the real friends of the people of India and if they will open the way for them there will be plenty of food. FEDERAL CONTROL Of INSURANCE COMPANIES?: Four identical bills have been introduced in Congress which m^y vitally effect insurance. The regulation of insurance companies has always been within the jurisdiction of the several states. Several decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States hold that the business of insurance is not interstate commerce and within the power of Congress to- regulate. An attempt has recently been made to prosecute certain insurance companies under the federal anti-trust acts. While the lower courts have decided adversely to the Contention of the government, appeals have been taken to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, the four bills aforementioned have been introduced which reiterate the fact that the business of insurance is not included. It is contended by the sponsors of the bills that an attempt is being made to set up another huge bureau in Washington which will endeavor to take from the states the control of this business. nppic ayrujf Apple syrup, as used by the tobacco industcy, is a new product. Developed by the Eastern Regional Research laboratory of the department of agriculture, it graduated from the test tube in May, 1942. Pilot plant production began during the following month, and shortly thereafter commercial operators! took over. Today five plants are in operation, one each in the states of Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, California, and Oregon. Apple syrup can be made from the juice of any grade of apples or from the waste peel «nd cores of canning -and dehydration plants. The industry is developing rapidly, and with ample raw material available, production of apple syrup may reach 15 million pounds this year, This expanded output should result in its^wider utilization in the U> bacco industry and in the food field, where it has a number of promising uses. *^ ' Coring Sweet Potatoes Curing sweet potatoes at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit for two weeks permits the rapid healing of wounds and prevents infection from rot fungi. AfteJ curing the temperature should rfemain around 50 degrees, i never below 40, A Saving of $75®,00t Whisky losses during aging have been cut, with a resulting saving of $750,000 during the last three years, by lowering warehouse temperatures from 70 degrees to 55 degrees fahrenheit, maintaining an equilibrium humidity of 65 to 70 per cent relative humidity in the warehouse atmosphere, and improving the quality of the barrels.

Eating Affected by Color pne color specialist reports that too much red in a dining room over- „stimulates the diners with the result that they are less relaxed and inclined to eat than when the environment is a quieter color scheme, such as blue and white. Instances have been cited in which restaurant business which had been poor while red decorations were in use actually became good when the color scheme was changed to more quieting tints.

His father was a nervous wreck, giving to thrashing of his sons as long as he was the stronger. His mother was socially absorbed; his nurse was a silent, cold, frustrated woman whose only conversation was reserved for the servants' hall. Traded as Bad Pupil. . Sent from boarding-schbdj to boarding school the little fellow got a worse and worse reputation. Finally, at 11, as her worst boy, his teacher "traded" him for the worst boy in another cl$ss. The new teacher -was a woman of 40; she put him in the last seat in the room, and when giving out the first lesson stood beside him, with her free hand on his head. And when, thrilling through all his lonely little being at this friendly touch, he looked up at her, she smiled down on him. That was the beginning of a friendship that changed the boy's whole life. He graduated with honors, went on into a full and happy life, on the strength of one friendly and trusting touch of a teacher's hand, i A bad child jfe erfways an un- 'i happy child. "When my boy was born,"' writes . a mother 27 years old, "my daughter Jacqueline was four. For the first few months of little Keith's ; rivalry she appeared to be devoted to him, accepting the situation without any emotional reaction. But aft- ' er that she changed, not so much toward the baby as toward everyone. She grew nervous; she went back to babyhood habits of which she had long been broken;^ she CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS The change from babyhood to childhood is not made overnight. This transition is sometimes a period of unhappiness for the child and anxiety for the mother unless mother is capable of understanding and handling the situation. The competition presented by an infant for the attentions of parents sometimes causes emotional upsets in young children. Kathleen JSorris passes on thf experience of one mother who met and solved this problem uith the aid of a child psychologist. Punishment is not the way to lead a child to happiness and success in this bewildering world.

"Secondly," I was to buy the new i bed and make it up, telling Jacqueline that she could sleep in her own • crib as long as she liked, but being sure to call the bed to her small friends' attention, and tell them that when she felt big enough to move into it she was to have a surprise or a story every night for a week, to celebrate. How many of them had real beds to sleep in? Poor little Keith had to sleep in a basket, and then he'd have to sleep in the crib when Jacqueline was all finished with it. "The first night she got into her crib, but demanded a story. I said that babies couldn't understand stories, but .big girls did, so she must wait until she moved intri her own room and bed. She moved the next night, assuring the unconscious Keith, as she swept past him with books and woolly animals, that he could have the old crib whenever he wanted it. "The third suggestion was that I give Jacqueline a little time all to herself every day. As I had no nurse and my daughter was in school until three, this was hard to find, but we settled upon half-past six to seven. Keith was in bed then, Daddy not yet home. During this half-hour she had her bath and supper, but she had stories, too, and we did not allow the telephone, doorbell or Keith to interrupt. If he fretted, we ignored him. If a caller came, Lily said I could not come-down. Gitl Revelled in Personal Hoar. | "I took this very seriously; nev- ! er, for all the weeks we keDt it up, breaking into it even for a message.
