Demo cratic intelligence and effort are now offered an inspiring opportunity." If):i3 CAMPAIGN BEGINS DES MOINES, la.. April 8 P Jouctte Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive com mittee, formally opened the 1932 campaign of his party last night by laying the- blame for the present economic and agricultural ills on the doorstep of the White House His address one of a series west of tho Mississippi, did not include any mention of the prohibition Issue. Tho "nauseous Grundy dose" of tariff legislation and the monumental failure" of the federal farm boara came in for strong criticism from the Democratic leader. "These two prlniclples had so far fallen short of their Intent as to win, not the applause, but the rebuke, of the entire nation," Shouse de clared, pointing to the 1930 elections as evidence of the "distrust and dis satisfaction of the people" which hn'd fallen upon the Hoover administra tion. Tho farm beard, he declared, was the personal handiwork of President Hoover, who "tcssed overboard the counsel of your farm leaders and lie gave you the farm board with a half billion dollars to dicker with, and the result is that today your products are worth about half what they brought when he undertook to place agriculture on a parity with indus try, and the whole business as farm ing Is accordingly prostrated." Unemployment, Shouse continued, has Increased 149 per cent during the past year and the only concrete legis lation passed was two of three unem ployment measures created by Sen ator Wagner, , a Democrat, of New York. Point to the Democratic gains In the 1930 election, Shouse declared it was a forerunner of the return of tho Democrats to power. EX-SENATOR A CANDIDATE , BALTIMORE, Apr. a (P) Offering a platform opposing government in?, terference with private business, re peal of the eighteenth amendment and a concert of nations, former Sen ator Joseph I. France of Maryland, has announced iimself a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. To day he made ready to file formal no tice with the secretary of state at Annapolis and said he would enter primaries in other states although he has as yet "no promises of support," He said he was an antl-prohlbltloh candidate in opposition to President Hoover. Dr. France was in tha United States senate from 1917 to 1923. Ho was one of the "irriconcllables" who opposed the entry of the country into the league of nations, proposlngas a sub stitute a concert of nations. Ho was not in favor of the soldiers' bonus conference in Washington. COMEDIAN UNDER KNIFE LOS ANGELES, Apr. 8 M Dr. William E. Branch, physfeion for Harold Lloyd, said today tho film comedian would undargo an appendi citis operation tomorrow. COMFORTING THE SICK There Is more to the treatment of the sick than making a diagnosis ( and prescribing a remedy. ' The comfort of the patient Is to : be considered and sometimes this Is more important than either dlag- i noses or drugs. j For nature may heal of Its own accord, but as an example bed sheets which wrinkle do not auto matically stretch smooth again. The comfort of the patient Is most often neglected in the minor illnesses. In the more serious ill nesses, nursing help usually tends . to his wants and his comforts too. i Children are particularly liable to suffer from want of care, for the older person will suffer ln silcnco or whimper un Importunately. ! in an iiiness, parucmany xnorte associated with fever, care Bhould be taken to keep the mouth scrup ulously clean and wholesome. This implies more than brushing the teeth. The tongue should be cleaned by scraping. A whalebone or celluloid scraper can be secured in any drug store. To remove the debris that accumulates on the soft tissues a gargle should be used. .This may be used by dissolving a teaspoonful of salt ln a glass of water. The citrous foods, that Is, oranges, lemons and grapefruit, have a de-1 cldedly pleasant effect on the j mouth. The nose and throat too need careful attention. When discharges j accumulate, dry. in the our, and ; form scabby gelatinous massts. breathing Is obstructed. The patient' then breathes through his mouth, and this ln turn aggravates the con- dition. The nose and throat then should I bo kept clean and clear by means j of cotton -covered probes dipped In a simple mineral oil. They may also be cleaned by the aid of sprays. ! using a salt solution similar to the one advised for gargling. Old Saying The phrase. "I.el mo wrlto tho songs of a nation and I enre not who makes its laws." is a para phrase of n letter written tn the Marquis of Montrose by Andrew Fletcher.

Hullcrfleld (Associated Press Kadlo Editor)' Amos 'n' Andy live the charac ters they portray. The comedians who for more than five years have maintained popular Interest through nearly a thousand sketches actually are, for certain times each day, the persons their changing voices call Into existence. For example, when Amos switches and becomes Brother Crawford,) he bounces up and down in his chair. Andy before the microphone is really Andy. The minute that voice Btarts, thumbs go into the button holes of the vest and the chest is thrown out. ' Their contracts bear the signa tures of Freeman Oosden as Ainos and Charles J. Correll as Andy. The boys never use assistants des pite the many roles they do. Here are the parts Amies takes, Including the breach of promise trial that con cluded in victory for Andy: The Klngflsh, Brother Crawford, Light nin the Judge, Smith the prose cutor, and Madame Queen. Andy Is the landlord, the police man, the salesman and other occa sional characters, besides taking the part of Lawyer Collins and the bai liff in the trial. Thus Andy was his own attorney. Supersensitive to the presence of others when they are broadcasting, Amos 'n' Andy never permit anyone in their 12-by-lS-foot wlndowless studio. The only person who sees them in action Is the control oper ator. Not even M. H. Aylesworth, pres ident of the National Broadcasting company and their "boss," has seen them broadcast. Nor their wives, for that matter. ; BRITISH PUBLIC ENCOURAGED BY TODAY'S REPORT (Continued lorm..Page-.Oue.,u) inn tho sick room each day since the king's cold developed on Good Fri day.

Eixch sits at the near corner of a email- table containing two micro phones, one for. emergencies. When Andy comes to voice. Cor rell's Hps are within two inches of tho microphone. Amos generally stays two feet away, except when he portrays another character. Then he leans back in his chair, or even leaps to his feet. The principal sound effect Is a telephone bell. Sunday Is their day of rest, but on week daya the comedians work hard. Out of bed around 9 a. m they go to their office and devoto the timo until noon to their mail. Then comes tho Job of writing their sketch, : Andy is the typist. He uses the touch system and 1b a speeder. Each script Is four pages long.
