FOR THE BETTER, TOO However, I imagine this innovation caused nowhere near the flurry among the White House staff that ensued on that day in 1878 when the first telephone instrument was put in. That was in the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio, the 19th president and that was the year in which the Democrats, who already had control of the house, acquired control in the senate as well.

In an effort to speed mass migration of the "burrowing carnivora In the Rangeley Lake region, W.

Their weapons for the fray included wicker baskets (you throw the basket over the skunks head or. If you prefer, over your own); flashlights (not too far front, please), and pitchforks (by process of elimination, since nothing In Emily Post recommends the use of any other fork as de rigeur).

In any case, the White House managed to limp along on one phone until the end of President Clevelands administration. By the time President McKinley entered the White House, all government offices had phones and they were accepted as every-danecessities, but they were not an Important element in the handling of White House business. When Teddy Roosevelt came in, despite his strenuous activities and what was considered then a somehe what revolutionary outlook, made very bttle use of the telephone himself. Then along came Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal, a part of which was a branch exchange with more than 2U0 official extensions and 20 outside trunk connections to handle the calls.

Today they have dropped back to a little over 44,000 It is fair to assume that the White House calls have followed the same curve under the nimble-fingeredirection of "Hackie." Even by 1935 it took five operators in shifts to handle the White House calls. At that time Miss Hachmeister was the first and only woman to operate a White House switchboard.

He was a member of the staff of Tass (official Soviet news agency), stationed for some three years In Washington. So far as I have been able to learn, his American contacts, which were many, both official and personal, made not a single ideological impact upon him or his way of thinking He upheld the Russian cause; he talked more freely than most Russians in a or official capacity do but (also so far as I can learn) he never offered the slightest compromise of viewpoint, never accepted any argument or explanation of democratic semi-offici- ( American style ) methods - of thought or action. And yet and here Is the thing that baffled most of us he was he was good company, and If we could have found the tiniest peg on to hang an idea, he would have inspired us to write about Russia with a heart, as a Russian woman Interpreter Is reported to have begged of Sam Time's correspondent Welles, well-like- wh-k'- sort. as far as personal matters went, as a trusting friend? Was he so deeply indoctrinated In the ideology of that he was filled with pity rather than the typical suspicion which seems to permeate most relations? One slight cine we have, though it may be a false one. Once, at a rather intimate gathering, Krelovs hostess finally grew a little impatient and said something like here, Boris, we're friends Surely you can be frank with us Russian-America- n and explain why your government " Before she could finish (he guessed what was coming) he held up his hand. Please, he said with a disarming smile that took the sting out of his words, We are having such a pleasant time, but you force me to say this; I cannot explain what you wish because you people are just too stupid to understand Communism." If that sentiment is a sincere and typical expression of how the men who run Russia feel, the road ahead is a rocky one.

People of the city stood silently in prayer for a moment, then uent on about the business It was the second anniversary of the radiant, consuming flash of the worlds first atomic bomb. Hiroshima, which saw 92.000 of its citizens immolated in that uncontrollable outburst of energy in 1945, was perhaps the one place on earth where the bomb could be thought of as a reality. Everywhere else it was a nightmarish, Damoclean sword; but in Hiroshima the people were paying it a sort of fantastic and bewildered adulation. and they They tolled bells, planned the building of a modem city with a peace memorial at the spot over which the bomb had been dropped. At other points across the globe, the atomic age was living up to its awful reputation by wringing fearsome comments and predictions from men who are supposed to know about it. Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of University of Chicago, said that two atom bombs which now could be manufactured would make the United States uninhabitable if exploded simultaneously. He made it a comWe plete Jeremiad by adding, know that some other country will have the atomic bomb within five We know that when that years. happens we are all set for the final catastrophe. In a constructive moment. Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, atom pioneer, said that usable electrical power derived from atomic energy may be available by 1952. But everybody knew that the United States was stressing development and production of the atomic bomb to build a stockpile for utter destruction. And everybody knew that Russia was laboring furiously toward the same ends. The people of Hiroshima did well to toll bells two years after they felt the bomb. It brought to mind an old. poetic question: Did the bells herald a wedding or a funeral? INSOLENCE: Slap Hands protests to come from the state department since American planes were shot down over Yugoslavia a year ago, the note marked the first official unpleasantry to be delivered by the United States to the puppet Hungarian regime. The incident grew out of the arrest of Stephen T. Thuransky, an American citizen, for his alleged revolting and scandalizing vilifications in public of Hungarys president and other government members. Thuransky, his wife and two daughters later were taken into custody by U. S. legation officials and removed to Vienna. In the protest note, the state department pointed out that the arrest of an American citizen on purely political charges is absolutely inadmissible under the armistice agreement which prevails in Hungary. Also, officials of the Hungarian ministry of the interior were accused of being uncooperative in the extreme and in some cases inadmissibly insolent.

The Institutions pediatrician said the general physical condition of the meat-eater- s was better, too. Results comparable to those at Child Saving institute were obtained at St. Thomas orphanage. Among the babies in private homes, the records were not as spectacular probably because the routine of care was not as exacting but even in the homes the meat eating babies showed no loss in hemoglobin content of the blood while their competitors who did not get meat lost 8 per cent It was this ability of the meat eaters to avoid hemoglobin loss that the researchers consider important. According to Dr. Leverton It means that tli protein in the meat diet kept the babies from taking the downward nutritional road to anemia. few dences or places of business possessed phones WNl) LINCOLN, NEBR. Chances are your would have no more thought of eating a love apple than of flying to China. But now we call love apples by the more prosaic name of tomatoes and not only eat them but drink em, That doesnt prove much except that peoples eating habits change. The University of Nebraskas food and nutrition laboratory is trying to see to it that they change for the better. Take babies six weeks old for Instance. A lot of mothers would gape in astonishment if you said. "Why don't we give the baby a nice helping of meat today? They might even tell you scornfully that babies dont Ret meat until theyre at least nine months old. Babies Like It. Yet, Dr. Ruth M. Leverton university nutritionist, and two pediatricians have been feeding meat to tiny babies for some time now. The babies like it, and the results have interested even the American Med ical Association Journal, which doesn't get Interested very easily The big thing that Dr. Lever-te- n and her associates found is that meat added for eighf weeks to the diets of habics as young as six weeks ran knock out nutritional anemia. This, they say. Is Important because that type ef anemia la common to most infants. The researchers dont pretend that blocking anemia from babyhood Is going to produce a race of super men and women. But they do say that anemia keeps the human body little or big from 100 per cent performance. It may be that freeing infants from anemia will let them grow strong enough to toss off some of the usual childhood diseases. Anyway, thats what Dr. Leverton hopes and the laboratory is assisting with further study along that line. Launch Experiments. The universitys food and nutrition laboratory launched its attack on anemia seven years ago. It found that meat added to the diets of a reduced simple group of anemia. During the war, a second study revealed that meat waa of benefit to blood bank donors. Next came a study of expectant mothers. A meat supplement to their diets boosted their hemoglobin values which Is a fancy way of saying they did not become anemic. Encouraged by these results, the researchers turned to babies. When the study started, strained meat for babies was not yet on the market but meat processors cooperated and produced strained meat of custard consistency which could be added to baby formulas. Since then a meat product has come on the 'market commercially. In cooperation with doctors at Child Saving institute in Omaha, at St. Thomas orphanage In Lincoln and with a small group of parents, the battle of babies versus anemia was begun. At the outset, a third of an ounce of strained meat was added daily to the formulas for babies six weeks old. This amount was Increased until at the end of a week an average of a full ounce of meat a day was being added. Show Marked Gain.

However, an even more important factor In determining the nations wheat acreage in 1948 will be the lure of the two market price. Department authorities admitted that high market prices will do more to dictate the amount of wheat planted than could any arbitrarily assigned government goal. The department said the 75 million-acre goal, if achieved, would provide the fourth largest wheat acreage the farmers in the United States have ever planted Higher plantings occurred m 1919, 1937 and sod-land- dollar-a-bush- 1933. Estimating on the basis of a average yield figure of 14 3 bushels an acre, the crop in 1948 would be 1.07 billion bushels, but if the outturn follows the 1942-4- 6 average of 16.3 bushels an acre, production would reach 1.221 bilk on bushels. In the wake of this year's bumper crop, a much smaller 1948 wheat yield normally would be indicated; however, the world food shortage makes it desirable, according to dethat partment the spokesmen, United States continue its high rate of production.
