BY ROTOEY DUTCUKB -NBA Washington Correspondent from the te House was required to get pub- works money flowing to the states December 20 only five 'grants out of nearly 600 ajlotments had consummated and the money sent to states and municipalities. Less than of nearly $700,000,000 in non-federal projects was involved.

(Secretary Harold L- Ickes. PWA administrator, was still in the hospital with a broken rib when he received a warm communication from Presi- ddht Roosevelt asking. "What the fe?" The president prdered a full by the following noon. lick: work enabled the PWA to 10 whole contracts consum- and about $50,000,000 received by or en route to state and local officials. One of the five new ones was QOQ project hi Chicago.

It was decided, without publicity, ia start dishing out the grants- amounting to 30 per cent of the allot- kient in each once, without waiting on contracts. A warm statement was prepared, charging local officials with dihtary tactics. Blame for delay attaches on ends. Of contracts sent out by PWA, 279 had been executed and returned, while 307 had not been re- Burned.

A subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary committee has reported favorably and the measure will come bsfore the full committee and almost certainly come to the Senate for a vote.

The resolution would submit a con- stUwtipijal amendment to the states whereby the electorate would vote directly for presidential and vice presidential candidates instead of for a long list of pledged electors. A voter could vote for the presidential candidate of one party and the vice presidential candidate of another if he chose. The most important effect would be to make independent presidential candidates practicable. An independent candidate now must organize in every congressional district to get his electors on the ballot. The resolution as now framed credit candidates witr their entire popular vote when the count was made here.

(A candidate who ran second with 1,000,000 votes in New York, for instance would have them credited against his opponent's possible 2,000,000, whereas the latter under the present system receives the state's entire electoral vote.) This feature would make it impossible for a candidate to win while receiving fewer votes than his opponent. But there will be a dispute in the committee on that point and Senator Norris of Nebraska, the author, is willing to compromise it. Two Gas Tanks on Auto Automobiles of the future may have two gasoline tanks. Tests at the reau of Standards indicate it would be cheaper to use a high-grade motor fuel for starting the mptpr and a cheaper fuel after the motor warms up.

CHILDREN By Olive Roberts Barton Put Aside Fear of Losing Child's Affections in Discipline Him Nature arranges many things, and among thei- probably is that very tjimg shouted down so often by child the desire of a mother to hold her child's love by humoring him. Somehow or other 1 believe it must be meant for a good purpose or it would not be theie At the saine time there is something else to be considered. Civilization does something to us. The higher we go in intelligence and education the more sensitive becomes the nervous make-up, and normal emotion is exaggerated. What Culture Brings Compare the average highstrung woman of any cultured nation with her savage Sistar.

One a sensitive i violin capable of a million tunes, the other a primitive instrument limited to a fev. Thus constructed, pur civilized mother is vulnerable to hurt much too easily. She fears too quickly -and goes to great extremes to preserve what she holds dear. The dearest to her is the love of her child for hei-. She puts it even above her love for him.

I do not think that children love their mothers altogether as we are so often told, because they are selfish and their mothers mean merely convenience and comfort. This does enter into it. of course, but I give all children credit for a higher emotion than that. They love their mothers because they love them, thafs all. Mothers Attitude Therefore, I think there is less danger of a mother doing a little disciplining than she may think.

She must put aside this, exaggerated fear of losing her boy's or girls affection, become a little Impersonal at times and take the law iHto'her hands. She will haye herself to fight, of course, but if she stops reasons thus she will see there is "small risk. "I cannot go on letting Junior have his own way. As hg grows older he will respect me more because he respects himself morp. At aijy, rata it is better to sacrifice a little: his devotion to me now if it means that he will be a better man.

Anyway there isnt a chance in a thousand that it will make any difference in his retil love at all." There is one thing I think that does a difference. This is age. A mother's cpntrpl. should be put to work early. a child is older he is more likely to resent any change of system on his mother's part.

The man in the old wedding picture was Parker Coleman's father. King had the picture and some papers to prove Coleman's father had gone through a bigamous marriage with King's mother.

Otherwise he'd go into court to fight for it. Coleman paid to keep him quiet.

He went to see Denise to find out it the engagement wns really true. Then he went to find King." A GAIN Bannister looked at Juliet, "It must have been a few min utes after you left," he said.
