ASK MORE FUNDS FOR INSTITUTIONS DES MOINES (INS) The economy-minded Iowa legislature was faced Saturday with a recommendation that it increase appropriations to board -of control institutions by $696,817 a year.

The senate appropriations committee recommended the boost, equivalent to 17 cents per inmate per day, after it had received frequent criticisms that human beings at the institutions received poorer care than the purebred cattle and hogs. The committee had finally gotten to work on the general appropriation bill after several delays made necessary by slow action on government reorganization bills. The bill is still in the drafting stage, but the increase was the second major one thus far. Previously the committee voted an increase of $815,000 for appropriations to the five schools under the state board of education. The grand total of appropriations recommended for the board of control institutions was as compared with $3,615,081 appropriated by the 1937 legislature.

The increases included the following figures for the four insane hospitals: $123,000 for Independence, $131,000 for Clarinda, 5115.000 for Cherokee, and $67,000 for Mount Pleasant: A hike of $145,868 a year was recommended for the institution lor feeble minded children at Glenwood and $101,368 for the hospital for epileptics and feeble nundad at Woodward. The largest reduction for figures of two years ago was a cut of annually the appropriation for the men's reformatory at Ana-mosa. Other cuts were voted for the Iowa Soldiers home at Marshalltown: the state penitentiary at Fort Madison: the juvenile home at Toledo; the women's reformatory at Rockwell City; the state sanatorium at Oakdale; and the training schools at Eldora and Mitchcllville. The appropriation for the Soldiers Orphans home at Davenport was left unchanged from two years ago. The board of control had a'ked for $5,138,635 to maintain the institutions under its direction.

LET'S EXPLORE YOUR tylND By ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM. AUTHORS NOTE Then ansaeri art riven from the acientitic point of tiev. Not 11 moral questions can be ansmered ith absolute acienutic accuracy, but no decision as to what is moral, ncht is possible without science. Science puts the rights of organized society aboe the rifhta of individuals. Q.

Should husbands and wives try to enjoy each other's talk about politics, clothes, etc? A. It would be a great help not only to prevent discord but actually to draw' them together. In the now famous study of marriage by Prof. L. M.

Terman of Stanford. he showed one of the strongest complaints of wives was, He does not listen to my small tal about affairs of the day." And husbands complained that wives were not interested in their affairs. Among over fifty complaints that were scored for seriousness' these ranked very high. Q. Could people be trained not to become frightened in time of floods, tornadoes, air raids? A.

Beyond question a good deal could be done, as brought out by Robert Kutak. in a study of the way people behaved during the Ohio river floods of 1937. They did all sorts of wild and foolisn things and lo't lues property needlessly. Children who have been trained in fire drills do not become frightened time of fire because they know what to dof and do it automatically. Kutak thinks er.t.re cities and communities could be drilled and instructed how to organ, ze and behave mtel-ligentlv tornadoes earthquakes, and other Acts of Q.

Do people often actually feel tired when they are not tired at all? A. Certainly. An enormous lot of that tired feeling is merely lack of interest your work. Often when you feel ail done up, fagged out, too t.ied for words, etc if tiie postman hands in a good letter especially an unexpected check or friend husband comes in with a bouquet or some theater ticket', or friend wife tells vou she is cooking oiir favorite kind of pie vou are up and coming in a minute. Your t.ied-ness was purely imaginary.
