Representative Sol Bloom (D.) of Mew York, arch-proponent of the plan, said that some senators aro opposed, to (he House muscling in on a trac'iit tonal Senate ratification of treaties. Bloom, who heads the major House foreign affairs committee, good-naturedly his Upper House colleagues and said that, too many senators who move up from the Lower House forgot their days of legislative rough-and-tumble in the crowded House, 'Informer of Bloom's blast, Texas' tall, dappor Tom Connally, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, said, "Aw, that's just the House cutting up." But Bloom, dissatisfied, replied: "WhoIT these fellows move over from the to the Senate, and got that special underground railway and their private elevalors, why you just can't touch 'em." Bloom referred to Connally's many years of service in the House and to I he special monorail which shuttles from (he Capitol fo the Senate Office- building.

ICKES is due for one of the most relentless grillings of his stormy career when he appears about May 1 before the. new Senate committee investigating pel roleum reserves.

The committee was constituted under a resolution sponsored by two foes of Ickes 1 oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean, These are Senators Owen "RrewsliM 1 (R.) of Maine and IS. H. Moore (R.) of Oklahoma. Moore, a wealthy Oklahoma oil man, succeeded in pushing through the resolution after going on record with ihf statement that the United States has sufliciont oil reserves at homo, A major fight is also expected to develop over the relationships of the government and private oil industries in the Near JCast, Oil men have generally opposed the project on the grounds that it would promote government ownerships, and thoy ore expected to use the hearings to air views. The.

committee, with an administration majority, however, has declared it- sell completely disinterested on file entire situation.

Margaret McConnell died the age of 81, For 26 years she has kept a light burning in a. window of her home, keeping a promi.se she had made her son, Claude, when he wenl away to (lie first World war. The light was to guide him home. Claude died in 1018- but. Mrs, McConnell kept the lighl burning -and it shone when she passed away a.

few days ago. Oh, know, lots of you will say that's sentimcntalism and all thai sort of thing. Perhaps it is. But. I think I here isn't a mother on Ibis earth who doesn't keep a.

light shining for every one of her children who has gone a.way. My mother-in-law is very, very ill. She isn't expected fo live. A few days ago she had a stroke, When she came back into her mind, she asked my wife: "Does Fred know aboul my being so sick?" Fred i.s her son who died 15 years he is always in her thoughts, and, thus, the seemingly foolish question, "Does Fred know about my being sick?" was a perfectly natural thing for a mother to ask. It in a peculiar fact thai mothers think- most often and most poignantly about the children who have died or gone away.

There is an old lady I know who had 11 children. Two died and nine are living near her. She loves the nine, but the two who have gone (hat she always talks about. They were model children, she says, they would, be great men if they were alive today, they would not have done some of the things her living ones do. There isn't anything new I can tell you about mother love.

It seems that everything can be said about if has been said more eloquently by far than 1 could clo it. But you won't mind, will you, if 1. make just one. little suggestion. I think I have a right make it: because it is based on own experience.

Don't take mother love for granted. Don't treat it lightly. 'Don't consider it a cheap possession or even somclhing that may, at times, become a bit of a burden. Mother love is a priceless Ircas- ure. It is the one love that is entirely unselfish, the one love that will never die, the one love that is as divine as anything on carl.h can ever be.

I know because when I had it KYum Cup 'or Baby my Is Uood SOME! TIME ago in order to evoke comment. I published a. letter from lady who referred to "the pernicious practice of teaching tiny babies to take their nourishment from a cup." She quoted Dr. Alexis Carrel as saying that "suckling is necessary for the proper development of the jaws, nose and roof of the mouth." Here is a comment: "Your column is read with interest every day at our house. This morning's paper really did 'evoke further at least from me.

"In regard to the statement that infants should not be fed from a cup, 1 should like to tell you of our experience. "After a severe fever when my little girl was six months old I was unable to nurse her. An older doctor suggested feedings from a cup. Although rather hard to do at lirst, she thrived and gained 'We held the child in our laps and turned the cup towards her as you would drink from if yourself. There is a motion and if the child is exceptionally hungry she nearly pulls the cup from your hand." A friend of mine.

Dr. D. M. Frix.gen, who is the "eompleaf pediatrician" and qualifies as an authority because he brought his two children up on cup drinking and has a picture of them at the age of six to show bow healthy they are, teaches all hi.s students, so he tells me, to train mothers to teach babies to drink out. of a cup rather than a nursing bottle.

There arc several advantages, the most, important, being that it teaches them to eat. Thus there is no hiatus at. the time when the baby begins to take more or less solid food. Besides there seems to be a more regular alignment of teeth in Iho cup drinkers than in the bottle That some changes are made in the month parts from too vigorous sucking is evidenced by another letter received from Toronto. have a little son of three and one half years of age.

He ha.s never lost the nursing bubble that appears on the upper lip of babies. He was weaned from the breast, at seven months and on a bottle for two months. Will this have to be removed, and if so in what way?" I am assured, again by Dr. Friz- gen, that these sucking pads all go away in the course of time although he says he has seen some persist even to the fifth year. Gels lOnough Milk Contrary to expectations and pre-suppositions the baby who drinks from the cup does not spill most of the meal.

S. Navy was sot upon strange search which enabled him to explain the mystery that for I'lO years surrounded the disappearance of a man named Jones. The souvenir which L.t. George, whose home is in San Francisco, brought back to the Unites Stales with hfm from foreign duty was a tom-tom. He acquired the crude instrument when his ship hove in to a descried cove along tho African coast.

Behavior of the natives indicated that white men rarely had set foot on that particular strip of the great dark continent, so LA. George set out to do a little "horse trading." Ho swapped a native his jack: knife for the tom-tom. Finds LeUf-rs Almost from the first, the naval found something strangely fascinating about the tom-tom. An unusual blue mark on the head of tho instrument particularly intrigued him. He wondered about its origin for a long time.

Determined to learn everything possible about that mark, ho examined it one day through a magnifying lens. The mark assumed the blurry shape of several of the letters of tho alphabet. Not all were distinguishable, even through tho magnifying glass, but George distinctly saw the letters He returned to the United and presently was assigned MS executive oJJicor of the naval receiving- station at Orange. The mystery of the tom-tom absorbed nim.
