He was president of the United
States all the way through the am&z
Ing Cooltdge boom, for which he waa
In no wise responsible, but for which
he got all the credit.
So why should he want to go back
in a period of grief and trouble when
all any president can hope for la
DISCREDIT?
MAR. Coolldge adds:

, What doea he mean by that?
Does he mean that if the Republi
can party DID temporize, compro
mise and desert Its leaders it MIGHT
win next fall?
IP be does, he la wrong.
- The Republican party'a only
chance of winning. In this wrlter'a
Judgment, la to renominate Hoover
and go down the line on the Hoover

thing under difficult oircumstancea.
Even that la a slim chance unless
there Is marked Improvement In bus

M '
YROM presidents of the United
States to platinum blondes la
long jump. But It takes a lot of
widely differing things to make up
the life of a great country like this,
and right now, thanks to Miss Jean
Harlow, platinum blondes are almost
as much In the public eye as presl'
dents.
All the girls who haven't got 'em
want to know how to get 'em, and
there la a lot of scurrying around on
the port of the chemists.
' t
F you read your front page care-
fully, you noted an opinion the
other day to the effect that, taking
It by and large, painting offers great
er chances of success than bleaching,
. So off with the peroxide and on
with the aluminum paint. That
ought to Interest Uncle Andrew Mel'
Ion, who la a big figure In the alum!
num trust.
Perhaps, on the strength of this
little bint, It might pay us to unload
something else and take a flyer in
aluminum stocks.
F you are serlous-mlnded, you may
snort wrathfully and aay: "Piatt-
num blondes and how to get that
way la a great subject to be occupy
ing the front page In these days of
mighty world events that Involve the
fate of national"
Soma people are like that, you
know.
M
B
UT let's see about this.
Taking it for granted that all
the girls want to be platinum
blondes, .the discovery of a sure-fire
way to GET TO BE a platinum
blonde would be a great boost to the
drug store business.
Prosperous druggists, lnclud 1 n g
manufacturers, wholesalers and re
tailers, would turn around and buy
what the REST OP US have to sell,
Wouldn't that start something In
the way of business recovery?
N
OR la that all of It. We are really
Just getting a good atart.
Just aa soon as all the glrla got to
, be platinum blondes. It would be
discovered that all the dresses they
are wearing now wouldn't go AT ALL
with platinum hair.
So something would have to be
done about THAT.
rpHE thing that would have to be
- done would be to get dresses
that WOULD go with platinum hair.
That la where the women's apparel
trade would come In.
With every up-and-coming girl In
the country demanding new clothea
to go with her new platinum hair,
business In the apparel trades would
boom.'
Jobs In the apparel trades would
multiply and unemployment would
vanish.
t -
SO far so good. But let's get on.
These new dresses to go with the
new hair would demand new ahoes
and new hose and new bags and new
bats. So the, hosiery mills and the
shoe factories and the hat foundries
would prick up their ears and begin
to show signs of life. Even the auto
mobile manufacturers would have to
bring out new colore and new up
holstery to harmonize with the new
modes.
More Jobs would be created and
MORE UNEMPLOYMENT would dis
appear. -
TOO scoff?

Key Distribution of Jobs
and 2.75 Beer Favored
SEATTLE, Oct. 1. (AP) The
American Federation of Labor will
"emphatically reaffirm" Its otand f'
modification of the Volstead act to
permit manufacture and aale of 2.75
per cent beer In Ita 61st annual con.
ventlon In Vancouver, 'B. C, next
week, Wlll'am H. Green, national
p-esldent, said here today.
Aocompanled by Martin Frande
Ryan. Kansas City. Mo., treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor.
Thomas J. Donley president of the
Ohio state federation, and a number
of delegates, Green paused here brief
ly before continuing to Vancouver,
where the convention will open. Mon
day,
The federation also will attack the
unemployment situation, Green said
Allocation of Idle workera on pubno
and private employment to "take up
the slack" must be resorted to at
once as "temporary relief In an acul
situation," Green said.
Wage reduction In large Industries
are "deplored" by the federation, he
said. "They add to the seriousness
of an already serious situation
"We feel that In the present emer
gency oorporatlona should find other
means to economize than by attack
ing the wage structure." Green said,
"The work should be distributed
among all men to keep them aa con
sumers in the market.
The consuming' market of the
nation, which la made up mainly of
the working classes la Influenced by
fear, which la bad psychology. They
are afraid of the banks, afraid of
losing their Jobs, afraid their wages
win be reduced
The working men are refusing to
buy, the Idle cannot buy. The great
consuming power of the nation can
not be restored until the fear Is
gone."
The federation plans definite steps
to obtain modification by congress of
the Volstead act, Green said.
The American Federation of Labor
la planning to call upon Ita friends
In congress to support legislation to
bring about modification," he said
He expressed the opinion there has
been a "decided change in public
opinion" on the prohibition question
The federation Is "firmly convln.wd
modification or. the Volstead act will
serve to promote true temperance,'
Green said. "Modification la neces
sary to help In distressing econom'.c
conditions throughout the nation by
stimulating productive enterprise In
many lines reconstruction of brew
eries, greater demand for farm pro
ducts and stimulate transportation
The federation doea not urge repeal
or the 18th amendment, Green aald.
It believes modification within the
range of possibilities without viola
tion of the amendment'
Green aald he did not believe com
munism waa a menace in the United
states at the present time. "The
American federation of labor Is
l-ulwark against communism, and as
long as the federation function,
there need be no fear."

tne accredited collectors, or deliver
In person at the warehouse. Reports
have been filed that already men
have asked for produce, representing
themselves falsely aa agents of the
Community Chest. To prevent de
ception. It Is suggested that farmers
first advise the committee they have
produce to deliver, and afterwards
made arrangements for delivery.
The plan, It Is felt, will be bene
ficial alike to the needy and the far
mer by affording a medium of ex
change. The worker la enabled to
provide for self , and family tn times
of stress, and the farmer la enabled
to secure needed labor. The plan
waa fostered that none willing to
work might Buffer.
No supplies, the committee an
nounces, will be Issued from tha
Community Chest, to those unwilling
to work.
The plan, starting at this time.
dovetails with the opening of fall
work on the farms.

EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 1.
In old days in a prohibition
fight the money used to be with
the wets but nowadays it's all
on the other side. In addition
to the great bootlegging inter-,-ests
(which is no longer just a
racket but an industry) they
have joined with the W. C. T..
U.'s now. Yesterday's statis-.
tics show some new allies. Can
dy jumped from $150 million to:
$400 million, soft drinks from
50 to . $275 millions and lee
eream from $55 to $305 mil
lions. So the poor wet has
nothing on his side but his
thirst. ' -
