Janson, pastor of Messiah Lutheran church was the Allan's days were no longer the slumberous dozes of boresome inac tivity. He was fast emerging from the stages of babyhood. Milk-fed, coddled and indulged, he was at last approaching the first lap of independence. Everything was an object of curiosity to so he tampered with it. If it broke, he carefully studied the ruin and made fast get-aways when he heard approaching footsteps.

Let them think the cat, the dog, the mouse, the oh, anything1 was to blame for the misfortune. But he, Allan, the household pet must remain unsullied. If Allan's parents misunderstood his indiscretions, he was promptly categoried as "of the destructive age, dear child. All children have a natural curiosity. Let him alone, he'll outgrow it" Knowing the weakness of his elders.

Allan preyed-upon their tempers. He created disobedience to make life interesting. It was priceless to hear his mother say, "He's so cute. I haven't the heart to chastise him for a misdeed." So Allan grasped the end of the tablecloth and pulled. The crash of broken chinaware frightened him somewhat and he covered his ears with his hands.

"Allan!" His mother came running. Allan toddled to a convenient closet and pulled the door almost shut. "Now how can you be angry with a child like that? He's so cute and her voice trailed into the twilight shadows of the room beyond, as she went for the dustpan and telephoned for a new set of dishes. If Allan could have expressed him self properly, he might have said, "Really, mother, you must excuse the expression, but I believe you're just too dumb for words. You might as well chuck all your books on child-training into the furnace." If he wondered what a slap or a smart rap on his knuckles would feel like, he never questioned the possibility.

He moved in a narrow world of self-sufficiency and gained, rapidly, a firm tyranny over the household. For variety he would have liked the imprint of a hand on his flesh and the sting of a reproof to humiliate him. However, he had so many interesting things to do, why worry about the lack of more punishment The in Allan fostered. Gradually he learned the "genteel" art of exploiting his parents. He became bold.

Today he tried his strength with a 10-pound jug of imported olives. The clink of broken glass made a profound impression on his sensibilities. But the smell of oil revolted him "Look, ma!" he cried exultantly into his mother's face. She stared aghast at the olives strewn on the kitchen floor and went for the dustpan. On the next day he deliberated on whether the loaded icebox would hold his weight.

He hung himself upon the door and swung, and whoops my dear, the thing skidded and there he was under it with everything in the chest all over him. Of course he hadn't quite counted on that, but it was an experience he wouldn't have missed for the world. He crawled out of it, unscathed, and smiled as he listened to his mother's tearful voice talking into the telephone. "Yes, he was nearly killed. I can't imagine how it happened.

Send me another pound of butter, two quarts of milk, a dozen eggs. Allan passed blithely from the "age of destruction" to the stage of ruthlessness; his flesh unsullied by angered hands, his dignity unbe-smtrched. Youth Allan's mother became adjusted to his moods. She was a self-effacing individual. Nervously she tended Allan's needs.

Meekly she obeyed his merest whim. If he bullied her, she solemn ly overlooked it, classifying it as "moodiness." She failed to analyze the meaningful glances of other mothers, who had steered their young Pre-Coronation Procession In London Viewed By Nearly A Million DEFY DREARY WEATHER (By The Associated Press) London, May 9. Undaunted by a cold, drizzling rain, throngs estimated at nearly 1,000,000 persons fought and jammed their way into the streets between Buckingham palace and Westminster Abbey early this morning to watch the final rehearsal of the coronation procession. It was the show for the masses, the chance for those who cannot witness Wednesday's brilliant spectacle to get an idea of what the pro gress of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to their coronation will be like. Largest Crowd Since Funeral The outpouring was the largest crowd in London since the funeral of.

King George sixteen months ago. a vast assortment of shivering, be- dragged but happy human beings who cheered wildly at the sight of the empty gilded coach of state and the various mounted military contingents. It provided an excellent preview of the throngs that will swarm through London on Coronation day, three days off. Thousands stayed up all night to make sure of vantage points. With the bus strike still in progress thousands walked miles for the chance to see and to get soaked to the skin.

By 6 a. the streets along the route were black with men, women and children huddled under newspapers, blankets, wraps and um- brellas, but who joked, laughed and stomped their feet in efforts to relieve the monotony of the wait and the cold. Special trains from the provinces swelled the Never has there been a larger crowd here for a more empty show. Instead of a full dress rehearsal down the Mall and Whitehall, with the soldiers wearing scarlet tunics, shining breastplates and nodding plumes as they will Wednesday the spectators saw khaki clad soldiers and coachmen wearing raincoats and Indian troops under soggy turbans. Coach Looks Tarnished The gold state coach looked tarn ished in the rain.

The street decorations dripped and some colors ran. But the crowds cheered as though they were witnessing the dawn of a new world. At some points they cheered by di rection, in order to accustom me horses to the swelling roar through which they must move Wednesday. Throughout the day the festive mood of the London masses defied the dreary weather. The rain, did keep King George and Queen Elizabeth indoors at Windsor, where they were resting away from the crowds and festivity, of London in preparation for their arduous activities of the coming week.

Coronations are costly. The British government is spend ing more than tz.uuu.uuu tor me crowning of George VI. A duke attending the ceremonies must pay up to $600 for his robes. A duchess pays twice that much. A good grandstand seat for the procession costs as hign at though many may be had for less.

Accommodations for visitors vary from one dollar for a night's lodging: to $5,000 for the week. Some Coronation day dinners will cost $25 per plate. The beverage bill for Coronation day is expected to total $10,000,000 three times as much as usual. $700,000 To Build Stand Tt cost $700,000 to build the gov ernment grandstands. Visitors frcin Europe are expected to spend some $15,000,000 during their coronation visits.

ft was estimated American visitors will spend an average of at least $400 each. CORONATION TO MARK NEW DEPARTURE IN ANCIENT CEREMONY New York, May 9, (AP). De scribing the coronation as a solemn, religious act, the archbishop of Can terbury in a preview of next Wed nesday's coronation, declared today the crowning of King George and Queen Elizabeth will mark a new departure in an ancient ceremony. In a 55-minutr broadcast from London over the British Broadcast ing corporation and National Broad casting company, the archbishop said the crowning of George and Eliza- beth will be the first in which the Dominions are recognized as "fully self-governing nations within the British commonwealth." 'In the oath that the king will take," he said, "he will promise to rule according to the respective laws and customs, not as in 1911, the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Dominions thereto belonging, but the peoples of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, of his possessions and the other territories to any of them belonging and of his empire of India." The Dominions were made self- governing members of the commonwealth by the famous statue of Westminster in 1931. ZANER ENTERTAINS SCOUT LEADERS Ray F.

FEDERAL WPA'S END (Continued from First Page and observers generally believed plan a likely compromise between the administration view and the Re publican conservative Democrat plan.

Representatives Bankhead (D-Ala) and Canon (D-Mo) urged the House to stick to the latter's proposal that the President be given discretionary power to impound fifteen per cent of all appropriation. The money would revert to the treasury unless the president decided it was needed, Senate conservatives have given support to a proposal for mandatory ten per cent cut in all 1938 appropri ations a suggestion which bears the endorsement of the Senate majority leader, Robinson of Arkansas. Specific Cut Not Suggested Neither branch has suggested spe cific cuts as to the amount and the particular appropriation. Both pro posed to blanket in a state percent tage by which fill appropriations were to be reduced after they had been made and leave it to the var ions government department heads to determine where the axe shall fall. House Republicans sharply con tended Congress itself should desig nate where and to what extent ex penses were reduced.

Representative Martin (R-Mass assistant minority floor leader, called the plan for the President to im pound fifteen per cent of appropria tions at his discretion a "joke" and said it would be accepted by Mr. Mr. Roosevelt "only because it gives him some more power power orig inally vested by the founders of th Republic in Congress and which should be retained by it." Woodruff advised elimination of numerous federal agencies as an economy method. No progress can be made, he said, until substantial steps are taken 'to remove from our governmental activities many of the useless, wasteful bureaus now being maintained." The administration never will do it he insisted, "because the powers that be find it altogether too pain ful to remove the faithful from the government payrolls." A House appropriations subcom mittee may reach a decision this week on whether to approve Pres ident Roosevelt's recommendation for an extra $1,500,000,000 appropri ation for relief or cut it to $1,000, 000.000. Unless the President signifies a desire for a smaller sum when he talks to Congressional conferees, leaders are prepared to seek House approval of the full amount FIRE TRUCK CRASH CLAIMS SECOND VICTIM Philadelphia, May 9.

1 The body consists of a semi-lunar area, more opaque than the rest of the nail, known as the white lunula. It also consists of the stratum germinativum and stratum mucosum, to say nothing of the stratum lucidum which is the thick part at the end converted into keratin or horn. It takes the nail about six months to grow out Some finger nails hae quite noticeable ridges in them vertical or perhaps horizontal. ertical ridges may be due to a severe illness, upset nutrition or some sort of skin disease. Horizontal ridges in the nails may be caused by serious illness, or injury.

These ridges indicate a temporary stoppage of growth but they ulti mately disappear as the nails grows out. Nails are capable of over-growth and hardening, especially the toe nails and my result from ill-fitting shoes or short stockings. Nails split or break due to extreme dryness of the skin or some kind infection around the sides of the nail or under the free edge. Ringworm, which is quite common, one of these infections. Hangnals are often caused vy too violent manicuring, roughly pushing back the cuticle, and similar conduct The little white spots under the finger nails which adolescents of a former period took to indicate an affair of the heart are in reality due structural changes on the nail bed.

UNCLE SAM SELLING RUM Uncle Sam has gone into the rum business, if not in a big-, then a very positive way. He has formed his own corporation to help the Virgin Islanders sell their rum.

To do this, he is advertising its sale, urging the people to drink it, making it easy for them to drink more of it, because the more that is drunk, the more is sold and selling rum has become, strangely enough, 'another business enterprise cf Uncle Samuel. Other Americans licensed to be in the rum business might resent this form of competition. It is another tep in tb direction of public ownership, but distasteful as that may be to many persons, the proprieties of a Government like that of the United States actually going into the liquor business might be even more shocking. Perhaps in principle it is not different from a State like Pennsylvania and others selling liquor direct to its people and making a profit in the business but the picture of Uncle Sam, behind the bar doling out rum to the public, does not fit in with the ideals young Americans are given of their fabled "Uncle." If the Virgin Island natives cannot upport themselves except by making rum and have the United States Government sell it for them, then the Government itself is less of a resourceful genius than one likes to think it is. Harrisburg Patriot DEVELOP NEW FUEL FEED SYSTEM FOR PLANES Chicago, May 9, (AP).

Progress in the aviation industry's drive for maximum flight safety was reported today by W. A Patterson, aviation executive, with the development of a new type fuel feed system. The device, now undergoing tests by the United Air Lines, virtually eliminates the conventional aircraft engine carburetor, Patterson said, and also offers a solution for the problems raised by carburetor ice and excessive intake heat. He said the new system was con. eidered so important that details were withheld at the request of the military aviation authorities.

The device, developed by the Ben-dix corporation, promises increased dependability and lower rate of fuel consumption. First experiments with the new fuel injection systems were undertaken by the corporation in 1931. During the past year a unit of the new type has been on test at the Pratt and Whitney factory in Hartford, Both in the laboratory and in flight, with what Patterson described as successful results.

The committee on fisheries is still atudying the proposed amendment to the regulations for bullfrogs, tadpoles and terrapin, which would impose a penalty of $5 for each bullfrog and $1 for each tadpole caught or taken over the limit or out of aeason. The limit would be ten instead of live terrapin a day and 50 season. The terrapin season is from March 15 to November 1.

Bullfrogs and tarpoles may be caught from November to July 1. Representative Edwin Winner, Montgomery Republican, has asked the legislature to authorize the board of game commissioners to fix a special season for hunting bear and deer with bow and arrow.

In 1663 he had tried to kidnap the lord-lieutenant of Ireland and some time later he made the same attempt on the Duke of Ormonde whom he intended to hang if he get his hands on him. This was followed by the plot to steal the crown jewels, but he was caught and imprisoned. It is not surprising that a close guard constantly protects the jewels now. 1S00 The birthday of John Brown whose soul goes marching on, at least in the words of the old song that is no longer as popular aa it once was.

The morning groups are distinctly different from those in the afternoons and another thing, there are many more baby carriages in the mid-afternoon crowds. Not that we look for them; you can't help seeing them. But there was a crowd around one of them so we shyly peeped aa best we could to see what the attraction was.

The day was warm and the baby's little legs and feet were bare. If anyone knows anything prettier than a baby's foot we should like to know what it is. There were so many women standing around and making exclamations that we got away without being noticed. The stroll was a success. Ofsuch small things are columns made.

trunk. If she had the nerve she would make a bon-flre of them. Allan's desires were a upon her time. His temper cowed her into a painful submissiveness. Thus bru talized and wizened she continued to humor his slightest whim for the sake of a bit of peace.

She did not expect comfort. She quailed from unexpected levity. How could she breathe easily under such pressure? She dared not question this. She merely stepped aside and let Allan swagger through life, confounding every rebellion of freedom, or crushing each gesture of love. She longed to stroke his cheeks, to bury her fingers in his russet-colored hair, to kiss him now and then, to press him fondly to her breast, to hear him say, "Mother, you're swell!" as other boys said to their mothers.

But she seldom looked into his eyes now. She never smiled. She had quite forgotten to say, "Son." Once she heard him argue with another boy about the importance of mothers. "Mothers are only backgrounds," he said contemptuously, "they don't count except for accidents of birth." Wistfully she hoped that some day there would be a reversion of faith. Then, frightened, she wondered whether there had ever been the presence of faith.

She could say, simply and with deep conviction, "I love my son." But where had Allan become so imbued with self-importance? Why did he have such strange conceptions of life? Somewhere she had read of monsters born to parents of beautiful habits and cleanly reputations. Des perately she longed for a reversion in Allen. Perhaps some day he would realize that she was a trifle more than a background; that she was, at least, responsible for his life. Maturity Continually Allan boasted. "I am a self-made man." If his competitors doubted his ve racity they seldom voiced a protest His fist could smash a million pro tests to nothing.

He could say, "I owe everything to my mother," be cause it looked well in print and gave him wide publicity. Whatever he did for her increased his import ance to society.

His mother sat in the deepening shadows and waited. At first the gloom confused him. When he saw the dim outline of a living figure he made a last attempt at self-control, "Mother, is that you?" She did not raise her eyes.

She barely whispered, "Yes." "Mother, I Mother For the first time in years she looked into Allan's eyes and saw there the anguish of defeat. "Mother I Allan, tottering and bending like a broken reed, was none other to her than the child she had once held to her breast. "My dear, I know "Oh, how, how?" "Look at yourself. Just think! To day you are human." Allan, chortling and groveling at her feet, had at last reverted, as she had ceaselessly hoped. In her mind's eye she pictured his saying contemptuously: "Mothers are only back grounds.

They don't count except for accidents of birth." She accepted him in silence as her thoughts formed phrases that Allan could never utter to her. Boston Post the arms, is a' grand bleach.

Miss Morbes tells us some of them today.

There has been a terrific amount of talk about the wonderful new inventions for making women more beautiful. Actually, very little has been discovered that wasn't known twenty years ago, when all this excitement over beauty was beginning. And there are a lot of very good ideas left over from that prevanity period that we could very well use today. For instance, that idea about rrink- ing a lot of water. We all know how good it is for the system.

Not iced water, either; that modern destroyer of a good stomach was not known then. The best thing any woman can do nowadays, to keep her skin clear, is to drink quantities of water six or more glasses a day, and several of them hot The first two, which should be taken before breakkfast should certainly be hot.
