She did not present an al luring picture.

One Word Led To Another 5 (Copyright, 1936, Kins Features Syndicate, inc.) Wall Street Not a Health Farm The mugs are coming buck to Wall street. Once again the burn ed fingers are playing piano on the hot stove. The financial migration of the scorched Enoch Ardena started last October when the bilked chickens left home to roost. Things wore Inflated liko mumps in the little old red schoolhouse. Wall street busted out in four-million share sessions. It was happy days In Dixie to a marginal accom paniment. When Mr. Eccle waa ro mlnded that another boom wae cookinaj in the boiler room he refused to interfere. He said conditions were healthy. If that makes Wail Street a health farm we will take a non stop flight over Vesuvius and use the old oaken bucket for a parachute. Gambling is al ways healthy if you win. Mr. Eccles' nimble observation that the punks were using cash is also in lino with that sage Rumbl ing axiom, "Never take a suckers breakfast money." Which doesn't hold good in Florida, whore you can climb a tree at dawn und knock down tho morning grape fruit. If you are not to take a suck er's breakfast money how about his lunch ami supper? And some of them like a cold snack at midnight. This would be a nice fattening schedule if brokers didn't have to eat too. -It all narrows down to the con test between the scorpion and the tarantula. You've got to get in the first bite. Mr. Eecles might havo put the brakes to the boom If .tho inves tors wove ntrotching paper aeros3 tho Grand canyon. But ho could do nothing when they waved real money under the brokers' noses. Mr. Kccles has discoveied that cash Is a fine substitute for credit. This boom may be healthy but Mr. Eccles cannot con vince us that a broker's month--ly statement is bottled sun shine. He cannot convince us that tho way to ventilate a customer's pocketbook is to shoot it full of holes. We do not believe there is balm in a speculative Gilead nor calories In margin. We know whereof we lament because we've got our share of blisters under those healthy sunlamps. This boom may not be as healthy as an ocean voyage but Its safer. It is better to wind up in the street with no carfare than to Innd in the Gulf stream without water-wings.

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associat ed Press, Washington.) Several important probabilities are presented by the tumbling events which have greeted the in fant 193G at Washington : The AAA decision brings home to the democrats, much more forc ibly than anything heretofore, the necessity for deciding whether to favor a constitutional amendment to enlarge federal powers. It likewise forecasts for repub lican leaders and candidates u sea son of severe ordeals as the var ious party groups seek to unite on some substitute plan for farm re lief. The president's annual message makes relations betwoen the White House and organized business still more difficult a ' fact which Is sure to be reflected In boiuo de gree during the session of con gress. I mo now midget, encountering immediately the prospect of sol dier bonus payment and invalida tion of the processing tax, haa been thrown into a state of confu- of government finances inter tho center of tne politicai Cu,m)aign. place of the short, harmonious one hoped for by the administration. They complicate almost beyond de scription a political situation which already was tangled and ui certain. Neither Party Will Rest The trouble and turmoil urislng from tho supremo court's rejec tion of AAA is not the heritage of the democratic administration solely. When NRA died, those who had been sacrificing to keep it alive re joiced, and it passed into history. The case of AAA is far different. Its pulling power was not sacri fice, but tangible benefits In tlie form of checks from Washington. Neither party will rest until it has offered some substitute. Months of wrangling in congress, much agitated flying of trial bal loons by candidates, and bitter di vision in the national political conventions all appear inevitable. For the democrats, long-rango discussion of he subject seems certain to center around the ques tlon of a constitutional amend mtnt. It Is not a question on which Mr. Roosevelt is expected to commit himself hastily, but it is one 611 which his friends believe he must speak plainly, Boon or late. The need for a plausible repub lican farm plank has been a haunt ing presence in the background of republican conferences for months. Now it Is leaning over the should ers of party planners and presi dential aspirants, demanding at- I tentlon urgently, Master of Maneuver Should the democrats advoca4o an amendment, it Is assumed that by its very terms It would give tho federal government broader pow ers over industry as well as agri culture. That might mean a break far more real than the present one be twoen .Mr. Roosevelt and organized business. It might determine tho whole character of the campaign. Although it was easy, listening to tho president's annual message, to conclude that ho had turned lo the 'left" finally, irrevocably and without restraint, gome of tho wisest political philosophers found room for doubt. They recalled that In polities, as in war, there are two kinds of strategy. One general prefers to stand on h given line and fight, another relies on the art of man euver. Up to now, Mr. Roose velt has been a recognized mas tor of maneuver, seeming to turn left toflay, and right tomorrow. Resides, neither tho annual mes sage nor Ihe budget message con tained proposals for new legisla tion repugnant to business. Tho security markets held (inn. per haps on the theory that "sticks and Ktones will break my bones, but worus win never barm mo." It Is what Mr. Roosevelt does, more than what he says, which will hold the interest nf the conn try in the present situation: and the determining question may eas ily be what ho does about a con stitutional amendment.
