As long as ne can stay si home and make speeches and shQ his teeth. thre Is no hon MEMBER There Will Be an Earthquake HERE'S a sure-fire bet for the "I told you so" cult. Instead of fiddling around with such uncertainties' as credit infla tion ; war between Italy and Ethiopia ; and the adjournment of congress, let them concentrate upon the prediction there will be an earthquake in the United States next' year, which will shake this country to its foundations, from Key West to Seattle; and from San Diego to Bangor, Maine. Defining the earthquake as "political" will not alter the seismical nature of the upheaval, nor the essential accuracy of the prediction. Prophecies along this line simply can't go wrong. A political "temblor" of devastating proportions in North America next year is as certain as sunrise. Those who place their money on such an eventuality, can discount their bets at once with any SMART banker. It's duck soup for the sure thing prognosticators, 120 mil lion Americans can't be wrong. Mussolini may retire from Addis Ababa with his tail between his legs; congress may remain in session until Christmas; deflation may set in before Thanks giving; but NOTHING on the surface of this cooling cinder, above or below it, is going to prevent the great political earth quake of 1936. AND it will BE an earthquake. Just as such cosmic disturb flnppR urn flnnsprl. hv thfl fflultini? of rooks, the poolinff-off of the earth's crust, the sudden shifting of strata structures beneath the surface; so this political disturbance will be caused by the faulting of certain party leaders; the cooling off of cer tain political enthusiasts; the sudden subterranean shifting of political opinions. The exact extent or the net cal upheaval, no one can now foretell; but that it will occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1936, and that the extent and net results will be known 24 hours later, is as certain as the arrival of Santa Claus from the North Pole on the following 2oth of December. SOME good citizens are disposed to deplore this certain cata clysm and wish there were some way to avoid it. This is a perfectly natural reaction. But it can't be done. At least not without resorting to drastic measures whose destructive effect would be far more serious than the results of the phenomenon itself. Moreover there will be compensations. For many years the two major parties have been bogus parties, synthetic parties, merely tho "outs" and the "ins" with no real or fundamental issues between them. The party in power has tried to stay in; the party out of power has tried to throw the "rascals out", tho vital differences between them being only the differences between tweedle dum and tweedlo dee. The unusual extent and violence of the approaching political earthquake will be due to the fact that this period of make believe has passed, the era of dead calm is over, unless all signs fail, November 1!KIG will mark the birth of two new politi cal parties in this land of the free and the home of the brave, a liberal and a conservative party. jNE may curse out President Roosevelt, as one may wish; but no fair minded observer can deny he had made the Democratic party a truly LIBERAL party, and the Republican party a truly CONSERVATIVE party. It has been a painful and to many a disturbing process, the processes of birth arc seldom anything else, but the net result will be all to the good. For the country needs two real parties, parties based not upon habit, or tradition, or merely the desire for power, but parties based upon GENUINE DIFFERENCES in principle, methods and belief. That is what wo have now and thoso who duii't clearly realize it, certainly will, before November 1936 rolls around. There is going to be a political upheaval greater than this country has witnessed since the Civil War period. Life long Republicans are going to becomo Democrats and life long Demo crats arc going to become Republicans, so fast and in such num bers that not even such an experienced and hard boiled prophet as Sam Wythe will dare commit himself until after the votes arc counted. It will be disturbing just as a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, are disturbing; but like them, it will clear the atmo sphere and pave the way for a period of settled weather, and constructive progress, under clearer and more certain skies. (Continued from Page One) but If he does he will have to decide what the mating age la and whom to shoot. A suggestion has been made that he start off with old maids past eighty who have not yet realised. apparently, that there Is a mating age. Hitler and Mussolini are understood to have faced this problem early In their game and decided that It was too big for them. They side-stepped It by merely offering bounties and encouragements for marriages and babies at any age. The baby angle was avoided by Mr. Taussig, as there seems to have been an overproduction In that In dustry In the past, from an economic standpoint. At least tnere are millions more of ex-babtea now than there are Jobs and the problem cannot be solv ed by plowing them under. This Is at least one point on which Mr. Taussig's problem differs from that of Messrs. Mussolini and Hitler. It Is understood that many serious- minded educational lenders, who can not see as far as Mr. Taussig, are now looking daers at the national yonth movement. Aubrey Williams, executive director of the movement, hinted at this underlying dtstrust when he pointed out at the confer ence here that it "could very easily become a questionable undertakm; " results of this nation-wide politi the fact that. If the government la merely going to subsidise education of the poverty-stricken, It already has an agency equipped to handle the subsidies ( the bureau of education In the labor department). Thla move ment la an entirely new set-up. with fresh state directors and new staffs In each state, drawing salares and paying office expenses. These admin istrative costs", If saved, would afford a lot of lunch money. They might enable the federal government to feed all the 700,000 high school students who dropped out last semester In stead of the 312,000 It now proposes to feed. (Incidentally, the high school principals are to decide which 313.000 children are to be fed and which 488.000 are to be denied). But no sympathy will be wasted on the foremost educators who are doubters. They are Just too darned uneducated to know that "politics" Is a highly Important subject .even If not Included In the curriculum of most universities which fancy themselves to be up-to-date. Note Mr. Taussig Is the most phe nomenal of all new deal phenomena a Wall Street brain truster. He was one of the original group of Inner economic advisers to the president, and worked from his office at 111 Wall Street. His specialty was Cuba and sugar, an accomplishment based probably in part on the fact that he Is president of the American Mo lasses company. He has never been a professor or an educator but long has worried about the youth going fascist or communist or both. Ills clubs are: Radio of America. MacDowell. Authors. Down ton Ath letic.

Address Dr. William Brady, 205 El (.'amino. Beverly Hills, Cal. VOLUNTEER Cl'IN Sunday, May 19th, we called for thousand guinea pigs to volunteer as subjects for a little experiment. Vic tlma of renal cal culus, stone In kidney, nephro lithiasis, gravel to register for the race. Knowing from other i counters that It wouldn't do to let 'em cut loose. I said: "I warn you beforehand you'll be barred If you attempt to tell me your symptoms or get my opinion of your case. It la well for some of you to know that I have an automatic chucker . . . Well, 361 candidates sought to reg later as guinea pigs. Of these, 312 were barred for attempting to tell me their symptoms or get my opinion. The remaining 149 automatically sift ed down to 84 good guinea pigs be cause 65 of 'em felt that the least I could do was to pay the postage. Pigs Is pigs, and a matter of guinea or thruppence doesn't make them anything else. That reminds me the birds who raise the loudest squawks about my failure to answer their requests for one thing or an other prove quite frequently them selves at fault, as we dig up the un deliverable answer self addressed "City," or some such Ineptitude. From animal experiments we are led to Infer that Individuals who do not get sufficient vitamin A are like ly to develop urinary calculus, kidney stone. Other factors may be con cerned, of course, but there la con sklerable evidence that this same shortage of vitamin A may be an equally Important factory of kidney stone In man. That's what I hoped the thousand human" guinea pigs might settle for us, but 84 guinea pigs are not enough to settle any thing. Along with an optimal ration of vitamin A that Is. much more than Is essential to maintain health the victim of kidney stone or gravel should follow a diet which glvea a preponderance of alkaline ash, and that Implies excluding from the diet meats, fish, eggs, refined cereals, prunes, plums and cranberries: items which are particularly advisable .are milk, peas, beans, all fresh vegetables particularly those edible raw and en tire, all fresh fruits and fruit Juices or beverages particularly tomato and Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ONE can hardly pick up a paper these days without reading of strikes or threatened strikes.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS filnss Eating If glass Is eaten unknown to one self will it cause some serious result? Does cancer start in some such way? (C. J.) Answer. No. There Is no truth ln the legend of poisoning with ground glass. If bits of glass are swallowed they may do Immediate harm, but no subsequent ill result need be feared. Wheat to Eat We steam our whole wheat for a cereal, and store the left over wheat In the ice box. Then we add this cooked wheat to waffles, muffins, etc.. and we think it improves all these ordinary recipes. Steaming about an hour cooks the wheat Just right, fluffy, separate grains, not gummy. (Mrs. C. B. A.) Ans. Thank you, Ma'am. What sort of disguise do you wear when you go to buy wheat from the farmer miller or feed or seed store man. so he won't think you are dotty?

Wicked, grasping em ployers grinding the faces of their workers is another explanation. The answer depends largely upon the viewpoint of the one giving It. NONE of the reasons here suggest ed, in the opinion of this wricer, gets to the bottom of the strike sit uation. Racketeers, in many places, hove something to do with promoting strikes. There can be little doubt of that. Communists have as much to do as they can with keeping strikes going, for the more disturbance there Is the better the communists ire pleased.

No. J6CC) But the real reason for the epidem ic of strike that la sweeping the country is dissatisfaction on the part of people who work with conditions at present existing. WHY the dissatisfaction? Well, primarily people who work for wages have the feeling that they are getting nowhere. Wage In creases come along. Hours are added to the working week. But the extra money thus earned buys little in the way of added necessities and com forts. Increased wages are offset by In creased costa of what the wages have to buy. A GAIN we ask: Why? It Isn't an easy question to answer, but here la something to think about: Public spending is going on at a greater rate than wa ever before dreamed of In this country. Public spending. In one way or an other, has to be repaid by TAX ATION. Taxes have to come out of th? pockets Of THOSE WHO WORK. ryou work for wages, you have been told by the politicians that you will pay no taxes that they will see to that; that the wicked rich will have to pay all the taxes. How about it? When you buy food, how are the prices you pay as compared with the prlcea of two or three years ago? (Ham and bacon, for example). Why. they are HIGHER, of course very much higher. The money in your pocket won't buy as much as It used to. f WHEN little pls are killed, there Is less pork for people to eat. When cotton Is plowed under, there la less cotton cloth for people to wear. When wheat Isn't raised, there Is less bread for people to eat. When there is LESS of anything, ft COSTS MORE. WHEN heavy taxes are laid upon Industry, these taxes must be passed on to SOMEBODY, or In dustry will go broke. Who is the somebody? Why. the consumer, naturally. There isn't any body else for this added cost to be paseed on to. The consumer is ALL OF US. IT sounds grand tolTsten to a gifted orator tell of the ' government spending countless billions and thus creating prosperity for everybody without anybody having to work, but it isn't so nice when we have to PAY these billions in the form of higher prices for what wc buy.

He called Ziegfeld "Mister Zeeg-fleld ' then as he did to Ziegfeld'a last lingering days when he looked out for him and later for the Interests of hla widow and daughter. Some years later Rogers and I rode herd In the same syndicate outfit. We saw each other usually when he came to town or exchanged tele phonic Insults. X loved and admired him as I have few men. We have bunked at political conventions and sat on the dais together at many stupid banquets In the days when such things were not the terrific bore to me they are today. I have visited at his manv acred ranch In Beverlv and seen the ten derness and devotion that he ex pressed for his wife, two sons and the especial apple of his eve. his dauehter. Mary. I never knew him. nor has anyone else, to do a mean or petty thing. His honesty was as natural as the pine springing to the sun. i Such rugged forthright men.

There was a time wMklna on the street with him In Kansas Cltv that he turned suddenly Into a rather second-rate clothing store. "Want a brown suit.' he blurted to the surprised clerk who. of course, recoenlzed him. He tried out three, decided on the third and transferred his pocket possessions. He could get more mileage out of a necktie than anyone I have ever known. He sTm plv put one on and wore It out. So I suggested a new tie. He rif fled through a dozen or so on a rack, nervously snatched one of the modest designs and. tossing the dis carded one to the young clerk, grin ned: "Tnke that home to your Ma. It's better than a soup bone." T have seen Rogers In tears, too. because one of the smart alec profes sional hooters In New York had written something that hurt him. something unfair, savage and with out Justification. Yet there was no rancor, no stinging Invective of which he could be the master. He had spent years in the hurly-burly of the ranch house. But he simply read It. choked up. recovered and talked of something else more pleasant. He came to my apartment often with Irvln Cobb and Amon Carter, or Texas, and they formed an unbeatable trio In yarning and riposte. Cobb and Carter lounging back in easy chairs and Rogers walking up and down, twisting. turning. Jiggling things on the desk, peeking into the kitchen, tearing up match flaps always like a fighter on edge. He never seemed fatigued: a day at the studio or a night of rehearsal, nothing slowed him up. In fact, 1 remember his wife Betty saying one day: "I have never heard Will say he was tired. And when one thinks of the amount of work he did, the things he accomplished, the Incessant fu rious pace he set, one wonders how he spanned more than a half cen tury In top physical form.
