Much Ado About Politics SO the Dr. Wirt episode is over I The Gary, Indiana educator, after an hour or two on the stand, is told to go home. Thus endeth the charge that Roosevelt's brain trust is boring from within to overthrow Jj D. and establish a communistic form of government I . What fools we mortals be I How COULD any sane man have made such a statement in the first placet How could any rational body of men, have taken such a statement SERIOUSLY, in the second) Well here's the answer: If the, congressional elections were not approaching that remark would never have been publicized. AND, but for the same condition, the congressional committee would never have called Dr.' Wirt to appear before them. It's all politics, ladies and gentlemen, all politics, a lot of noise and fury signifying nothing. THE leading Republicans maintain Dr. Wirt made a good showing on the stand, and that his sudden dismissal is evi dence that the administration is afraid to let him talk any longer. , , The leading Democrats maintain, the learned educator made a silly Ass of himself, and failed to bring forth a scintilla of evidence to support his sensational charges so why allow the farce to go ont Ex parte statements, both of them. Just a little more of the time-honored partisan routine. Just more politics. SO our original comment on this case stands. . We maintained the charge that the brain trust, or any mem ber of it, was seriously plotting to overthrow "Kercnsky" (Roosevelt) and replace him with a "Stalin", would prove to be a lot of piffle j but that did not mean it might NOT, have some political effect. . There is tho whole thing in what Andy would term a couple of nut-shells. It did prove to be a lot of piffle but sometimes often in !act :a lot of piffle wins elections. UST what political effect this remains to be seen. But the, effort of the Republicans to brand Roosevelt's brain trusters with the red iron of Russian communism will continue for that is, obviously the most profit- Deal at the first opportunity, So with the congressional you are. " . RUT while the people don't like communism, they do like - Roosevelt, so it would have been folly to have tried to brand the president as a Bolshevik also-such an attempt would never have reached first base. ... Consequently Dr. Wirt's .very ingenious plan, Roosevelt quito innocent of course, not really wise to what was going on, . . , . . . . . . , , , , , . Mt the brain trusters boring from within, ready to throw him 'out and put their Stalin in when the opportune time arrived. ,.

Are They Fooling F. D.

WUIIam Brady, m El Camlno, Beverly Kills, Cat. FIRST STEPS Of I.ONE CHILD ARE : . SPKI.NHLKO WITH TEARS. Trouble with the one-child family is the kid can't take It. The lone child never gets a fair break. He needs at least a brother or a sister to teach him how to get along with other, persons In the world. If It Is a sad case of one - child ster ility, then It Is only fair to the lone child ' that the parents adopt one or two child ren to share things with him. Johnny, writes his -ma. will be 6 next October. Shows every sign of developing inferiority complex. (Right away I foresee a tough time for Johnny. His ma dabbles in psy chology. A psychologist's children are always sad instances.) Such a complex nearly ruined my life, and that's why I am alarmed about Johnny. Ever since he was born I have been battered from pillar to post. I have had to earn his living and he has been constantly under the care of strangers. He Is, however, quite healthy and has a lonely dis position and a Blmple charm ... (Sounds as tho ma spends her spare time reading problem novels. How could a child of 4 or 6 years have other than simple charm?) However, he cannot play with any of the children in this neighborhood he Is constantly being bullied by them, and altho he shows a desire to fight back, In the end he comes run ning home In tears. Even a child smaller than Johnny can order him around. He Is over-sensitive. I have found him . at times here at night crying in his crib, and once on the floor under it sobbing with grief. I'd give any thing to hear him yell and scream, but I hear only those sobs like an adult. . ' I've tried punishment, rewards and Indifference, but have not succeeded In making him fight back. It is so like my own childhood I cannot tell you the horrors of that here, but I should hate to see Johnny go through the same thing. (Mrs. H. M. C.J The child and his mother need the guidance of a physician who is a mental hyglenlst. If the mother can not afford to employ such a physician she should .take the child to a child guidance clinic. If there is one in the community. Any physician she knows can tell her where such a clinic Is. . v.'1'. , NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY 0.0 Mclntyre . NEW YORK, April 11. Louis Brom fleld has sailed back to his French villa at Senlls on the dreamy edge o! a tiny river. He departs as one of the most popular American auth ors of his day. His books as well as his short stories are In high demand. And Hollywood. Indifferent once, craves his pres ence. ' His vacation In the States was spent largely In Princeton, but he came to town several times to attend dinners and the plays. Brom field, a native of Mansfield, O., and a winner of the crolx de guerre, has written his best stuff In the isolation of a foreign country. , Formative days were spent knock ing around Paris with another good writing man, Ernest Hemingway. They have been close pals. The author is a mine of moods, often ascending the upper slopes of spirit to be the life of the party and then sliding down to the depths where no one sees him for months. While a close student of the pass ing scene for material, he is also gift ed with powers to describe those he never saw. A story of his with a set ting in a New York night club was evocotlve of more favorable comment than any other of its kind. At the- time he had never been inside one. James Jeffrey Roche, father of Ar thur Somers, and a great essayist of his day. once wrote a lacey bit of description of a section of South America. It Is to this day Included In textbooks as the most accurate ever written. The elder Roche had never been In South America. And the mandarin of essays, Abbe Dlmnet, turned out a fantasy para graph of sailors dying of thirst when becalmed. They refused to believe signals of natives that all around their ship was water good to drink and they only had to lower their buckets. That Incident was an au thentic fiber of life happening years later to ft group of Spanish sailors on tne Amaron. George White's parachute drop on the Hollywood lots adds much to his stature, artistically and financially. Ho had about dropped stage activities when he decided to film his ".Scan dals." And in working on the pic ture suddenly decided to take a pait himself, which he did with high crit ical praise. The whole venture has been a fortunate turn of the wheel In the exciting life ot a young hoofer who began as "Swtfty.' ft Broadway meseiv?r boy "busking" along tio curbs. He has not only received many offers to appear and produce in Hol lywood, but can now choose the pick ot ftugel lor New Yoik effort. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, Hrady, M.p. A child much left In the care of strangers or in the company of other children In the neighborhood to ex posed to the danger of vicious In struction which might account for the excessive timidity tho boy mani fests. This is a matter the mother cannot handle so well as can a doc tor wno is expert in mental hygiene and child guidance. Perhaps the mother can follow the doctor's advice to good purpose. As a rule such a child does need the constant companionship of other children of his own age. Kindergarten is a fine place for htm, and he must be required to obey his teachers, with whom his mother should co-operate In the management of the child's be havior. When all is said and done the best thing that can happen to such a child is. to have a couple of brothers or sisters to share with and fight with. That is quite humanizing. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. One Pound of Flaxseeds. After a lifetime of constant experi menting with pills, salts and numer ous newly advanced remedies for the control of the bowels I came upon a copy of your booklet "The Constipa tion Habit." Glancing It through carelessly, I was struck by one phrase, which kept recurring to my mind for several days, what you' say about anxiety, worry or fear ! . . happy to tell you I am now freed from the habit, and I still have some weeks to go before my pound of flaxseeds will be used up.

If you believe It is a habit, send ten cents and a stamped envelope bearing your 'address, for-a copy of the booklet "The constipation Hamt. Exercise Before Breakfast. Is it harmful to do road work be fore breakfast running three min utes and walking one?, Have been told it is harmful because . you use up your energy during the night and so have none in reserve until you have had breakfast In the morning. N. R. Answer On the contrary you con serve or accumulate a reserve of energy during sleep or rest, and so you are better equipped for exercise in the morning. If you enjoy it the before breakfast work is fine. - (Copyright, 1934, John F, Dllle Co.)

The only cheery note was a gramophone In a lichee nut and dried fish place in Doyers street playing, appropriately enough, "Chinatown, My Chtnatownl" I never see the Central Park lake swans glide like lines of a quatrain under the arches without recalling the shuddery legend of Park Row, an old wives' tale of the newspaper shops. It concerns the baffling evantshment of Dorothy Arnold, who seemed al most to evaporate in thin air. The last place Miss Arnold was seen was standing at the take edge gating at tho 'swans, there for more than 30 years. Next morning, unaccountably, a black swan rode majestically among the white. Dorothy Arnold was never seen again. That thorough-going cosmopolite, Frazler Hunt, recalled the other even ing that in his entire life he had never taken opportunity to have a manicure at the hands of experts. And his wife, Emma, without looking up from her magazine, observed: "But I'd hate to tell you how many times he has had his nose painted." (Copyright, 1934, McNaught Syndi v cate, Inc.)

Comment on the i Day 's News By FRANK JENKINS GANGSTERS still hold the head lines, the hot one as these words are written being the slaying of a constable and the kidnaping of a chief of police at Commerce, Okla. Affairs like that are nothing new to Oklahoma, which has had plenty of experience with bandits In Its day. THESE particular bandits, along with a woman companion whether red-headed or not not stated were stuck In a mudhote, and. had been attempting to force passers-by to help them out. The constable and the chief of po lice came along and started question ing them, so they cut loose with a machine gun Just like that. The constable was killed, and the police chief was kidnaped, along with the car, In which the bandits fled. They mired down again two or three miles farther on and were dragged out by a passing farmer, who worked under the threatening "muz zles of their machine guns. THESE city gangsters seem to be getting out in the country. If they .STAY out in the country, they'll get what is coming to them sooner or later.
