Larson of Bismarck, i Minneapolis, Dec. 16.—()—It wasn’t mere routine to Federal Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye when~ he granted final citizenship pa- pers to 50 persons Tuesday. His 75-year-old mother made it more than that by being granted her citizenship by her son as one of those 50 new citizens. Her fingers continually strayed to the small American flag in the lapel of her gray sweater as her son spoke of his mother’s attain- ment after 43 years. “She brought her family with her when she came from Norway 43 years ago,” Judge Nordbye told the men and women before him, “and she never has been sorry she came or that she brought her family with her.” | Then the judge and his mother went out to lunch to celebrate the event that.meant so much to both, since breaks in residence in the United States three times had delayed Mrs. Nordbye's realization of becoming a citizen. Railroads Working On Rate Increases Washington, Dec. 16.—(#)—Plans for preventing double increases in freight rates under the boost author- ized by the Interstate Commerce commission were being worked out today by railroad representatives, The new ratés are expected to be- come effective about Jan. 1. The double increase threat was seen largely in connection with ship- ments from the eastern and southern coal fields to the northwest. These involve a railroad haul io) Toledo or some other eastern port on the Great Lakes, a water haul across the lakes, and a railroad haul to the final destination. Railroad officials said they do noi intend putting two surcharges on any shipment. FIGS BY PLANE San Francisco—New York is being supplied with fresh figs through the medium of the airplane. Growers in California are pooling their product to be shipped to New York and, as they are valued higher when received fresh, an airplane is being employed to ship them across the country in much faster time than rail shipments ! would take. SPOILING THE CHILD Portland, Ore.—When the automat- ic furnace came in and the old-fash- ioned woodshed went out, the pro- verbial rod also took its exit and with it came the spoiling of the child, Gen- eral C. H. Martin opines. “The rod,” he says, “is in excellent condition, but the child is devoting his time to in- creasing the juvenile courts’ records. Lawlessness began when father put the rod away and let his boy develop his personality without any curbing hand.” Rent the Spare Room Thru The Tribune Want Ads and Drs. B. S. Nickerson and C. C.
