SHOTGUN SHELLS
HELD UP BY LACK
OF MATERIALS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — (£>)
Shotgun shells are being distribut
ed just as fast as they ca-> b
turned out with available material
and labor manufacturers say.
Several of the largest producer
told Rep. Robertson (D-VA) ii
telegrams which he made publi
today that only shortages of leai
and some labor difficulties hav
help up deliveries to dealers.
Robertson, chairman of a join
committee on wildlife conservation
said, he has received many com
plaints ifom hunters that shells an
not available this season.
Accordingly, he asked manufac
turers why deliveries are beini
held up, declaring in his telegran
of inquiry that widespread rumor
blame the shortage on three fac
tors:
1. Hope by manufacturers tha
prices will be Increased by OP/
or by cessation of price regulation
2. Deliberate withholding o
shells from sale until next yea
when manufacturers’ profit taxe
will be lower.
3. Production curtailment t<
eliminate inefficient workers.
Officials of Olin Industries, Inc
western cartridge company, Win
Chester Repeating Arms Com
pany. and the Remington Arm
Company, asserted in their replie
there was no foundation for an;
of these rumors.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH:
Several months ago I met a man I
who Is now my husband—one of
the sweetest, most considerate of:
'1 men. He is 40; I am 30. At the time
• | we met he Was married and had
s | been for 20 years. He has two chil
j dren, one 19, the other 10.
! Although Vie and his wife were j
on congenial terms, hg said the
children were about all that had
! held them together. He is very i
proud and fond of them, and had'
j wanted more children, but his wife:
| was not agreeable,
j When he told me he loved me |
1 and asked to marry me. I felt that [
■ I was breaking up his home. How
I ever, he assured me it was not
; so. He said that it had been brok
en up, in his estimation, long be
I fore I came into the picture.
DOWNCAST MIEN
WORRIES BRIDE
He obtained a divorce against his
wife’s wishes and a few days be
j fore we were married, his elder
■ son came to see him and pleaded
| with him to come home. He tried
I to reason with his son, but to no t
avail. In parting, the boy refused!
1 to kiss his father goodbye, and his j
* father wept when he told me this
on our honeymoon.
| We thought that we could be;
’ completely happy because we were
. suited to each other, but I don't
I think we are at all. My husband
’ looks worried and unhappy all the
time and because of this I p.m
unhappy. Already we are expecting
a baby and we are happy about
that. However, the specter of his
children looms between us.
7/ey used to write H> him regu
| larly. They no longer do this.
! please advise me what to do. I want
' to preserve my marriage; want to
make my husband happy. How can
: this be done, in view of conditions ]
’! as they now exist? — W. V.
! GUILTY SOUL
MUST SUFFER
j DEAR W. V.:
, There is nothing much you can
do to relieve your husband's guilty
anxiety at the seif-induced rift be
tween himself and his sons. You
; thought, of course, that he knew
what he wanted in forcing a break 1
with his first wife to marry you.;
But this deepening doldrums of re
cent months show that his precipi
; tate haste was a case of the moth
! leaping into the flame without
counting the cost aforetime.
In general, it is apt to be true
What the primary causes of mar-1
: riage failure are to be found within
: the home. Thus he was sincere no
doubt, in saying that his craving

for you did not initiate the rift
with his first wife, but rather af
forded final inducement for desert
ing her. And I suppose he was
honest in saying that his senti
mental pride in his boys had kept
him anchored in discontent.
However, it seems not to have
ocurred to him, nor to you (until
too late), that his own lack of
morale in dealing with the conse
quences of his own actions might
have been the inside cause of dis
unity in his first marriage—which
weakling trai / have carried over,
in brand new dress, to play havoc
with this marriage, too
CAN’T GO BACK;
BRIDGES BURNED
The spectacle of his elder son,
only 19, pleading with him at the
eleventh hour — almost as a par
ent might entreat a wayward child
—to return to the strait and nar
row of established duties, suggests
that his boys (young as they are)
don’t look upon him as a strong
man whose decisions in any re
gard car/ mature deliberative
weight And his demoralized reac
tion to the loss of their friend
ship—as the price to be paid for
repudiating their mother—indicat
es an infantile personality.
Having forced the deal, he would
pay the piper with bet - grace, he
never wuold weep on your shoulder
about it, if he had an adult mind
and stability of purpose. But of
course if he were that type, he
wouldn't have made this headlong
mistake; “Marry in- haste and re
pent at leisure" seems to be the
moral of your story.
For advice: The mistake has
been made. There is no turning
back now that you have started
another child. You must go for
ciprocal dismay as best you can,
ward together, enduring your re
determined to give a steady per
formance in double harness for
that child’s sake. In time you may
settle to quiet companionship, even
though your hopes of bliss died
aborning.

INTERVENTION—Attorney Gen.
Harry Mclvlullan has notified the j
supreme court of the United (
States that North' Carolina will
join with other states in protest
| ing the proposal for the federal
! government to tax state-owned
i property and the income there
1 from on the same basis that pri
vately owned property and income
are taxed. The issues arose out
of efforts of the treasury depart
ment to tax the New York Port
authority facilities and income.
: The state won out in district court
1 and the treasury appealed. An
drew J Tobin, counsel for the N.
| Y. port, is secretary of a confer
j ence for state defense organized
last year to hold up the conten
tion that state property is not
subject to federal taxes. McMul
j lan is a member of the confer
ence.
EFFECT—Effect of abrogating
the traditional policy of one gov
| eminent agency not taxing the
property of another would have
, far-reaching effect. Once the pro
! p:sed policy is established there
would probably be a movement for
states to tax county owned lands
and there would be almost no end
to the ramifications. The current
issue alone would cost states an
estimated 120 million dollars a
year, but the federal government
would get only a small portion of
it because of provision in many
' public utility bond issues that nei
ther principal nor income is sub
ject to any normal tax. That
sounds sort of complicated to lay
men, but tax experts and statis
! ticians seem to understand that
I reversal of long followed policy
would accrue more to the benefit
i of bondholders than to any public
or governmental agency.
SWEARING — The next mass
taking ceremony scheduled for the
governor’s office will occur Tues
day of next week. November 6,
at 3 p.m., when the Tr.von Palace
commission holds its first meet
ing. Since the commission is em
powered to solicit and receive
money under state sanction it is
deemed advisable to make ’em
swear to be good and honest.
RECIPROCITY — Newspaper
clippings from Virginia and Mary
land papers received by Motor
Vehicles Ccmmissioner Boddie
Ward indicate little sympathy in
cither state for the action re
cently taken by Governor Colgate
Darden in rescinding the recipro
! cal agreement on franchise motor
freight haulers. Baltimore papers
! refer to the Virginia governor’s
attitude as isolationist. They
also quete Governor O’Conor of
Maryland as saying he would take
the matter up with the national
conference of governors and the
council of state governments with
a view to working out a uniform
policy of reciprocal treatment of
interstate trucks by the several
commonwealths through which
they operate. It is pointed out
that if every state adopted the
Virginia policy it would virtually
strangle motor freight business
5 The act which was suspended as
tvartime aid to transportation twe
and a half years ago calls for the
levy of two percent of the totai
freight bill based on the ratio oi
mileage in Virginia to the tota:
trip. In the hypothetic case oi
a haul covering all of the 48 states
h similar levy in each would take
96 percent of the total freight
collected, leaving only four per
cent for all expenses of the op
eration.

Lady Nearly Choked
While Lying In Bed
Due To Stomach Gas
One lady said a few days ago
that she used to be afraid to go to
bed at night. She was swollen
with stomach gas, which always
got worse when she went to bed,
and the gas would rise up in her
throat after she lay down and
would nearly choke her. She
couldn’t lie flat. Had to prop
herself up on pillows. Recently
this lady got INNER-AID and
I now says gas is gone, stomach
feels fine, bowels are regular and
she can go to bed and sleep
soundly.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo-.
