Panta may be severiy divided
Into seat, waistline and legs.
The seat ordinarily Is used In
sitting, but on extraordinary oc

or handle for a person who la

person and throw him out of
doors. In the case of pants worn
by a Junior the panta may also
act as a convenient buffer for
a parent's slipper, clothes brush

77ie Zero Hour
HENRY P. FLETCHER, chairman of the Republican national
committee issued a devastating broadside against Presi
dent Roosevelt and the Democratic party last night for beinj,'
too radical.
"The New Deal" he declared, "ia merely a modern applica
tion of the principles of Karl Marx."
A few houra later Senator Hiiey Long returned from forcing
a few more laws through his legislature in Louisiana to lambast
President Rooseve.'t and the Demo'-ratia party for not being
radical enough.
If the Democratic party doesn't adopt Huey'a share-the-wealtb
ideas and quit taking ita orders from Wall Street and Big
Business, the Kingfish opined, Roosevelt will not get one vote
out of five in the next election.
SO it looks pretty dark for President Roosevelt in the 1936
campaign. He ia damned if he does, and he is damned if
he doesn't. In his efforts to end the depression and secure for
all concerned a more "abundant life", the Republicans declare
he goes too far; in these same efforts the Huey Longites, the
Coglrtnites and the Townsendites declare he doesn't go far
enough.
What can a man in the president's'position do under such
circumstances t Well, probably only what he in doing.
Give up trying to please the conservative Republicans, give
up trying to please the radical liberals, turn a deaf ear to the
threata and warnings from the extremists of both eicles, and
stick to the principles in which he believes, in the faith that a
majority of the American people, when the essential issues are
clearly defined, will follow him in the middle-of-the-road course,
and endorse his program.
IT is rather superfluous to add that the honeymoon is over.
Not only is the honeymoon over, but the inevitable uphill,
unromantic trek has begun, with those who were formerly
cheering and throwing bouquets,
bats. No more easy sailing, under blue skies and with a fair
wind, for F. D.'s ship of state. The barometer is falling, the
clouds are gathering, the dangerous passage is ahead.
So the real acid test for F. D.
maintained from the first he is
he lacks the fighting heart, that he can't TAKE it, will now
either, have their judgment sustained by the events, or be forced
forever after to hold their peace.
It will be worth watching,
few months, and especially the
administration.
There can be no backing down
or compromise, the issues from
has been cast, and from now on
a fight to the death.
Upon the quality of leadership he now displays, and the
political course he now charts, will depend the ultimate fate of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, as president of this country, and the
place he will eventually occupy
nation.
Gloom Dispellers
"PHOUGH Wall Street is busy singing the blues for political
effect, almost every important index of the state of business
shows steady improvement. Business Week, a New York jour
nal of business news and interpretation gives the following sta
tistics in its current issue summarizing the first quarter of 1935:

So much for actual accomplishments. As to prospects for
the future, B. C. Forbes, editor
acknowledged authority on business topics declares in an article
in the current Liberty Magazine that the stage is set for the
biggest era of prosperity in the nation's history. He lists H
billions of pent-up needs requiring the employment of -14 million
workers at $1,000 a year. He points out that excess bunk re
serves exceed $28 billions and that money can be had at the
lowest rates in history and says "with emphatic certaintv":
Sooner or later America will regain confidence and will pro
ceed to resume normal spending and normal llvlne. When this

others who are subject to extreme

"water poisoning." "heat cramps" or
"stoker's colic." This li a condition
of violent muscular cramps occurring
when , through excessive sweating the
store of salt in the blood and tissues
has been depleted, for salt Is the
Important substance In the water
excreted In sweat. The condition Is
prevented by the practice of taking
some salt along with each drink of
water, either dissolved In the drink

of a tablet, or with some highly
salted morsel of food. Persons who
suffer oppression from extremely hot
weather should remember that plen
ty of salt as well as plenty of water
Is more refreshing than water or any
beverage without the salt.
Many gourmands acquire the habit
of seasoning everything excessively
with salt, although the salt natur
ally present In such foods as milk,
meat, eggs, fish, cheese, butter Is
sufficient for all needs of the body
If the diet Is not restricted. One who
Is following a diet largely vegetarian
gets less salt and may advantage
ously use more salt as a condiment.
The practice of salting butter and
cheese In the mnklng Is much over
done, whether from perverted tnste
or from a desire to sell salt at but
ter or cheese price. People who never
eat "aweef (unsalted) butter win

Too much snlt in or on food
masks the reol flavor of the food,
though the proper use of salt brings

to everything blunta the finer taste

much of the plensure of eating.
Some people smother food with snlt,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Reconstructs Surgery
At the age of S years my arm waa
broken above wrist. It was at first
mistaken for sprain, and not until
the bone had grown together. In
volving nerves and tendons, did the
doctor find out It was broken . . .
I am now 23 years old and while
the arm 1 as large and well de
veloped as its mate I am handicap
ped. How about breaking It over and
resetting? (V. A. M.)
Answer Unless there is marked
body deformity that could do no
good. But a doctor skilled In re
constructive surgery of nerves and
tendons, as after bad burns and
lnf3cted wounds of the hands, might
restore better function by a series
of repair operations.
Action of Alcohol
Please outline f.r me the action
of alcohol on the organs of the
body, especially heart, brain, kid
ney . . . (M. B.)
Answer Briefly it la depressant
and narcotic.
Hypo
I have used your formula, one
ounce of photographer's hypo (sod
ium thtosulphate or hyposulphite)
mixed with four ounces of boric
acid, aa a powder for athlete's Itch
with fine effect. How about using
a small portion In witch hazel as
a lotion after shaving? (E. S.)
Answer No harm to experiment
with it if you wish. Good lotion for
use after shaving, and for keeping
the hands white and soft Is made !
by boiling slowly and constantly 1

epoonfuis boric acid, 80 grains trag

of the big headline of all time.
(The bill win In the house, tt

Well, primarily It proposes pensions
for those who have passed tha age of
65 and benefit payments for a certain
period of time to thoae who lose their
Jobs.
There are other minor features, but
these are the big one.
IN the way of old age pension, the
bill limit the government's con
tribution to not more than tlfi a
month, to match similar contribu
tion from the state on a dollar-for-
dollar basis.
That la to say, If the bill passes
both houses and 1 signed by the
president, old-age pension will run
somewhere around 30 a month.
AS to unemployment benefit, the

exceeding $1S a week and NOT start
ing until 4 week after loss of the Job.
and running for 15 weeks plus one
week for each six weeks the worker
ha been employed, up to 35 week.
That 1 (assuming that the bill be
comes a law) If you lose your Job,
you will have to go four weeks with
out pay. Then, for 15 weeks, you can
draw up to 15 a week.
After that, you will get one week's
pay for each six week you had work
ed at your Job before you lost It, up
to a total of 35 weeks, which Is all
you can draw.
EXTREME conservatives will shake I

more extreme among them will assert
that If this bill becomes a law the
country will be ruined.
This writer, who in many ways la a '
conservative, doesn't share that
Bloomy view. The conservatives have I
shaken their heads many, many times '
since the world began, and still the
world ha4 gone on. Broadly speaking.
it has gone on getting BETTER and
BETTER. i
The conservatives have no monop
oly on Intelligence. Very, very often
Indeed, since history began, the con
servatives have been wrong and the
liberals have been right.
This is probably one of the times.
OF these two radical innovations
Irarilral that, la en far aa A ma.
ica is concerned) the old age pension
plan Is by far the sounder.
Those who have passed their pro
ductive years have to be supported by
SOMEBODY. Prom the standpoint of
the prosperity of the country aa a
whole, It makes little difference
whether they are supported by pri
vate charity, by the contribution of
relatives or by TAXES.
The money for their support has to
come from SOMEWHERE, and the
pension plan U a dignified and rea
sonable way to provide it.
UNEMPLOYMENT insurance has
mnrfl Hanoara WltVi ut-taln i-na
of workers, for example, tt will have
a tendency to put a premium on un
employment. Pear of loss of the Job ia a con
stant spur to greater efficiency, and
taking away that fear will probably
make shiftless workers still more
shiftless.
But unemployment Is one of the
GREAT EVUJ3. and we can't do away
with it If we don't try.
So, If the bill passea, let's give un
employment Insurance an honest trial
and take the consequences if It falls.

Your tall bridegroom beside you,
Each glance so full of pride.
And then, a-down the year.
Aa memory shift the lens,
I eee you, dearest sister,
A little child again.
T se the dear old schoolhouse.
Where you learned to read and
spell,
And learned to add and multiply.
And did It very well.
Oh, those happy days of childhood.
Golden every precious hour.
And their memory leaves a frag
rance Like some grand and glorious
flower.
Again the vision changes,
Aa in dreams there la no rule.
And I see you. dearest sister.
Queen of all that Jolly school.
T see your happy schoolmates,
Gilding o'er the frozen snow.
Bound for spelling -school or dance,
Singing as they go.
Next, they're skating on the river.
Bonfires burning near the side.
Every lsddle with a lassie.
See how fast the youngsters glide I
Another picture cornea In view.
School days hare passed ao fleet.
And I see you standing, sister.
Where the brook and river meet.
I see a brave young man.
Coward now m very truth,
Bow to thee, a willing prisoner.
Captive to thy smiling youth.
And scon, you choose him captain.
To sail your little brig.
While you. aa first mate, steer the
craft
And keep tt trim and trig.
So for fifty golden years.
In fair or atormy weather.
You've kept your craft afloat.
Because you've pulled together.
And when earth's Journey's over.
You reach the heavenly shore,
May you walk the golden streets.
With our Savior evermore.

Wnen last seen, flying more or
less Irately through the swinging
doors of the senate chamber, Glass
carried a long list of the names
of wltnesps he Intended to call when
hts subcommittee starts hearings
shortly. It would be more than a
good guess to say that the list doea
not contain the names of those who
might be called champions of the
administration bill.
However, tt Is understood Chair
man Fletcher of the committee, an
administration man, ha worn out
three pencils writing an equally
long Hat of proposed wltnesce. These,
of course, will offset the Glass list.
The only thing you may be certain
of in this situation Is that life will
never be dull at the capltol aa long
aa Glass and the new dealers are
so subtly at odds.
The bank bill provision at Issue
is the one creating central credit
control in the federal reserve sys
tem. This is the only provision con
cerning which there Is any dispute,
and there Is as yet no open dispute
about that. All Glass wants to do
ia to delay action on that section
and shove through the other sections
of the bill. Of course, all the new
dealera know that. If they do not
get this section now, they will never
get It. Tnerefore. the Issue Is clear,
even though the participant are
not yet ready to concede It.
The FERA recently received a

and wa will both benefit." The ans
wer, diplomatically expressed, was:
"No."
There Is one Drovtmon nt thaw
