erything shut up tight as a drum. Oxblood polo shirts at a varie

product even if well soaked with Chicago smudge and cinders

Perhaps the assurance that he wore oxblood polo shirts on HIS

In 1B94 two small boys, eight and 1
ten years of age. were employed by I
nelghbora to clean out an old chicken
house which had been atandlng on
the property many years. While so
engaged, the boys dug up an old,
rust-eaton, half-gallon tin can con
taining a number of musty and par
tially decayed tobacco sac lis filled
with gold coin. In the words of the
elder of the boys, given on the wit

after, Dee called us out and aaya:
"Here's five cent, hoys. We put the

To the Editor:
Bo It makes no difference whloh

Is fascism vs. communism, a dicta
torship of the exploiting claaa try
ing to overthrow a dictatorship of
:he proletariat, on just a bad a the
other, so seems to go the popular
opinion, But If my memory serves
ma right we, the long-suffering,
ahort-memorled public, have been
fooled both before and behind and
previously.
I think on reason for the Indif
ference to thla atruggl that la going
on In Spain la because we do not
understand th. meaning of the much
uaed expression, "dictatorship of the
proletariat," I. . communism, nor
hat It or fascism stands for. Of
course this la due to not having
gone Into the matter sufficiently.
Our federal income cenau report
should b enough to convlnc one
that the proletariat la In the majority
In thla country. In most of the other
countries of the world the percent
I much larger. Surely, then, w
should lend our sympathy to a peo
ple who are bringing about a gov
ernment by and for the benefit of
thla majority. This principle of gov
ernment by the majority and for
them la the easence of democracy and
la embodied In our constitution. If
ever practiced to the letter, we have
drifted far afield. W still have a
r.ovemment by the people but not foi
them, thanks to the art ao well rec

When the proletariat, or majority
class, awake from their mesmeric
ulumber and demand their Juat share
of the bountiful product of earth

proves unsuccessful or perhaps harm

; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Crystalline Iron
Had my husband get 4 ounces Iron
and ammonium citrate to make up
the home medicine for anemia. The
druggist gave It to him In crystal
form. I take It from your booklet to
mean a liquid form . . . (Mrs. P. P.)
Answer No that's right. Iron and
ammonium citrate comes In thin,
transparent, garnet-red scales more or
less crystalline In form. The booklet
"Blood and Health ' gives full Instruc
tions. For copy send ten cenU coin
and stamped envelope bearing your
address.
Hard Water
I have a constant bladder irritation
which ceases aa soon as I get soft
water to drink, and begins again when
I have to return to hard drinking
water. Is there anything I can use to
soften the water and leave It fit to
drink? (Mrs. M. B.) - -
Answer Boil it. If you could get
rain water or snow water, that would
be soft. Or you might try drinking
only distilled water or bottled water
from a mountain source. 1 doubt
whether hard water that haa a satis
factory taste Is reaonslble for any such
trouble.
Typhoid
Will a person have typhoid fever
more than once? ... (O. H. W.)
Answer In the rather rare Instan
ces In which a second attack of ty
phoid fever occurs, there Is generally
a question about the accuracy of the
diagnosis. Still, It might happen. One
attack; confers immunity for many
years, I believe.

NEW ORK, Aug. 26. The Strand
theater building Is known in the
Broadway shabblness as both Heart

dise. On the third
floor Is the bevy
of o f f 1 c e a to
which eager-eyed
aspirants to vari

hours trudge
from all over,
hugging the Big
Ambition.
This floor la the
clearing house of
dreams the rose
tinted, medium and utterly forlorn.
The amateur buslneas la nothing new
to the agency trade. There have
been many since the days of Tony
Pastor's. Recruiting brash boys and
glrla for the hook or a five spot.
Of course, since the Major Bowes
and Fred Allen triumphs on the air,
along with the veritable army of lea
ser amateur exploiters, this type of
agency flourishes like the fabled ce
dars of Lebanon. And all amateurs
seep up to the Strand's third floor
to. bivouac for calls.
No one knows, of course, how long
the amateur appeal will last. One
day It seems on the wane and the
next, booming. But one thing Is
certain, there Is no limit to the nobly
rising supply of talent. There's 80
per cent more good stuff available
than Is usable even -with the In
creased outlet.

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS.
GOVERNOR LANDON make his
first Important speech of the
campaign at th village of Middlesex,
In Pennaylvanla, where he wa born
a little less than 48 yean ago, Lan
don, you aw, is a fairly young man,
as Presidential candidates go.
Ha la several year younger than
President Roosevelt, who 1 quit
young as President go,
GOVERNOR LANDON ChOM a his
subject. "Th American Way of
Life," and he ssld some things that
are worth attention. For example:
"Under our American Institutions,
we have enjoyed mor liberty and
have attained a higher (tandard of
living than ANY OTHER PEOPLE tn
the world."
That la true. And It I something
to be proud of.
HE ADDED: . '
"This American way of life 18
being che'lenged. We are told that
It does not meet modern require
ments. Some are trying to supplant
our Institutions by . others from
abroad." , 1
This writer, who I Just on Ameri
can among 138 million, hope fer
vently that, these persons who are
trying to change our institutions, sub
stituting Importations from the Old
World for them, fall dismally In their
design. . .
Thla la a pretty good country as
It is.
. -.
ANOTHER good statement by
Landon:
"Th Amerlcsn remedy for unem
ployment Is REAL work at good
wages."
What he mesns Is this: Jobs created
by government Just to keep hands
busy don't get us very far. With all
the billions being spent by govern
ment, there are still ten million un
employed. ONE mora quotation from Lan
don' pech: "Th remedy lor
monopoly and speclsl privilege I to
do away with them."
That la ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
The polltlclana' way of dealing with
monopoly and special privilege ha
been to TALK LOUDLY about tnm
At vote-getting time, but DO NOTH
ING. That haa been th Republi
can method. It haa been the Demo
cratic method.
It 1 the NEW DEAL METHOD.
Th New Deal talk a lot about
what It Is going to do to monopoly,
for example, but under th New Deal
monopoly goea ahead Just as It haa
gone ahead In the past.
NRA was a vast scheme to FOSTER
monopoly.
WHAT Landon will do In tn way
of destroying monopoly. If he ,ls
elected, can not b said, for nobody
knows. But ha couldn't do much less
than the New Deal ha don.
ctenator COUZENS. of Michigan,
O Republican, announces that he
will support President Roosevelt.
Senator Couiens Is an exceedingly
rich man. who has mad his money
and retired from business. He- la one
of a great many rlchnen who are
supporting President Roosevelt.
It Isn't, you ae, Just a cas of
th hv-not galnst th havs. The
demagogue politician are merely try
ing to make th bev.-nota think that
I th way It la because the have
not sr so much mow numerous
than th haye and the politicians
always wsnt to b. on th side that
ha th most rotes.

ha-ve heard how some similar con
fessions have developed In the past.
Only the uninitiated believe the old
story that the GPU pounds admis
sions from prisoners with a rubber
nose. Thla honored and ancient po
lice method haa been widely used at
times, but seldom promotes the vol
unteer spirit so distinctive in Rus
sian confessions. In fact, it usually
leads to repudiations of confessions
later In open court.
Russian officials, have found It
more effective to barter with their
prisoners on a more practical basis.
They have the power of llfe.death,
comfort and happiness over all the
relatives and friends of the accused,
the wife, children, sweethearts. An
accused prisoner generally apprecl
atea the hopelessness of his own es
cape and can often be Induced to
give the Soviets the kind of a propa
ganda confession they want In re
turn for, promises of protection to
loved ones whose names are never
publicly mentioned.
It has been done more than once.
Every time trouble breaks out In
Europe, Japan moves again In China.
Thla has been established Japaneae
policy since 1931.
Aa soon aa world diplomats cen
centrated their attention on Spain,
the Japanese ambassador to China,
Shi gem Kawagoe, got busy. He sent
a calling Invitation to shaky, elderly,
General Sung Cheh-Yuan, chairman
of the so-called Hopei-Chahar polit
ical council. Such an Invitation
from a "Japanese ambassador Is a
command to any official of the North
China government.
The old warrior waa "advised" by
the ambassador that his government
should ask Japan for financial and
technical assistance to exploit the
natural resources of North China.
Later the ambassador announced to
foreign correspondents in Pelplng
that the general was "tn complete
agreement" with the suggestion. He1
did not go to the trouble of adding
that the general had a choice of be
ing In agreement or out of a Job.
Japan haa spent' too many millions
In her military conquest to accept
"no." or even "maybe." from a Cin
eae general who occupies his post at
the pleasure of the Japanese In what
la virtually occupied territory.
