Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry.
This state, at no distant date, will
be confronted with the problem ol
financing pension .payment to the
Old Polks, amounting to 30 per
month. This Is a meagre sum. It is
worth that much to listen to the
demagogues, who swarm to every
gathering of oldsters, to exploit them
for their votes. It Is bad enough to
be broke and 60, without the hound
ing of bum orators, and the Inevit
able collection to pay for their gaso
line. The Old Folks need protection
alike from poverty and politicians,
chiefly the latter.
The weeds no longer flourish like
Bin on the Baptist church lawn.
Sen. Copeland of New York threat

a President from seeking a third
term. The bill should be broadened.
A President with a third term no

fourth term, or a fifth term.

No Eastern or California beer is

states whose brew Is barred, would
decree they craved no more to eat
the prunes and peas and pears of

Had gone back to Chicago and way stations the night before.
The next time we plan a Lauderdale stop it will be for the
middle of the week, not the end. You can't beat Lauderdale
when NO ONE is there!
Came close to tragedy on the way down. Between Rockton
and the Poor Farm, caught up with a New York car trailing
a large freight truck, and seeing cars coming in the other
direction pretty fast, proceeded to trail the N. Y. license plate.
Imagine our surprise, to see the car in front of us without
warning suddenly jump ahead to pass the truck I "Why it's
suicide!" was the thought that first passed through our mind.
We were wrong. There was no suicide as far as the N. Y.
car was concerned, but only Lady Luck prevented murder.
As the N. Y. car jumped ahead, the truck swerved to the
right so we could see just what happened. The first oncoming
car. was hitting it up around 60, and the driver saw a crash
was inevitable unless he left the highway. This he did to
his right and our left, putting on his brakes as he did so. No
need to tell any experienced driver what happened. Fortunately
there was no deep ditch but nearly level ground running from
the highway, but the oncoming car, skidded, one way, swung
the other, then turned over and proceeded to turn over and
over until it struck a tree, with a crash and upside down,
LAID STILL 1
We stopped the fnmily Buick, and were out of the car in
a second, being the first to reach the wreck. We expected to
see blood and KOre if not "sudden death", but only greeted
a young man, head out the side window, face white as chalk,
cursing as eloquently as he was able "The blankety blankety
blank I what did he think he was doing J, the so and so and
such and such!" Peering into the car we saw the body of a
girl, stretched out on the roof and a pair of shoes tangled
with a cushion, and a battered suitcase nearby, obviously be
longing to a man. Almost at the same instant both figures
started to move. Then a trickling sound caught the editorial
ur nnr! ft-nrr, l ie front rlnah.
As the engine was still running, we persuaded the young man
to stop bis cursing long enougli to turn off the ignition. (A
stray spark in those first few seconds, would have sent three
young people or what was left o their charred remains, to
the morgue!)
Well it was another one of those miracles. Fortunately
the car was a sedan and the turret roof saved the loves of the
two boys and girl, not only their lives but they got off with
out a scratch. Before we left they were walking about still
pale and somewhat dishevelled, but the young man who had
been at the wheel, maintaining his batting average in northern
Illinois profanity splendidly.
And that fool New Yorker who incidentally drove right
on, and disappeared over the hill deserved all the cursing
he got and more. We have seen plenty of crazy driving since
we landed in the midwest, but that surpasses anything in our
experience here or anywhere else. There was no SENSE to it.
The New Yorker had been trailing the truck for several minutes
at least. Had he been in a great rush he would have tried to
pass before, if he wis in no rush, then why take such a chance
with a string of cars so plainly coming at a rapid rate
toward him!
Of nonrsn that's the trouble in this motoring business.
I You can never, tell what the
be the most conservative driver in the world and observe all
the rules, and yet land in the ditch, as this young chap did,
through no fault of your own.
In a few minutes there was a big crowd around doesn't
take long to collect a crowd on any through highway in this
part of the country, including a trouble ear which fortunately
was en route to Ilockford also. Two tires were torn loose
from the wrecked car, the radiator was smashed and the top
dented in, but no glass broken and apparently no damage to
anything else but the gas tank.
.....
While on the subject of reckless driving Illinois takes the
palm. They require no driver's license in this state, anything
with two hands and legs or less can take the wheel. And we
have yet to observe any driver giving the regular signals with
the arm, as to turning, to right or left or stopping. Giving
such signals has become such a habit with us that we execute
them automatically. No doubt the natives hereabouts wonder
who the- crazy man is, driving A. S. Uuhl's car.
.....
One noticeable change on the highways going to the lake.
Practically no wayside fruit and vegetable stands, whereas a
few years ago they were scattered on both sides of the right
of way, with everything from butter and eggs through sweet
corn, beans, and iee cream cones. Found one such stand near
Clinton ami stopped for sweet corn but they had none. Asked
why the disappearance of the stands, and the girl said, that
business was terrible and this would be the last summer for her.
Didn't know tho reason, said her father thought the chain
groecrv stores were to blame. R. W. R.

OH, BUT YOU MUST EAT STARCHES.
It sounds well to speak of a "well
balanced" diet but It has no more
definite meaning than the quaint
advice that the
patient should
have nourishing
but easily dlgest-
Ible food. As
nearly as I can
make out, "well

tlona should pro-
vide two to three
ounces of protein
yielding 240 to
360 calorieB, two
to tnree ounces
of fat yielding 560 to 840 calories,
and 12 to 14 ounces of carbohydrate
(starches or sugars) yielding 1440
to 1680 calorieB. Later "well bal
anced" came to mean that the diet
should Include reasonable propor
tions of foods from animal sources
meat, milk, eggs, fowl, fish, cheese
and foods from vegetable sources
fruits, greens, cereals, nuts, vege
tables. Then newer knowledge ol
phyElology made It evident that per
fect balance required an adequate
proportion of "roughage." Indigest
ible material, fibre, cellulose, as the
natural stimulus and aid to vigor
ous digestion. Still later we added
fine adjustment to the balance
and began to consider the dally In
take of mineral elements pretty im
portant in prescribing a diet. Lately
we have learned that no matter how
I satisfactory the diet may be in an
of these particulars it just can't keep

Introduce a brand new essential ol

ber. In diabetes the quantity of carbo
hydrates (Htarches and sugars) the
patient can profitably consume Is of
course determined by his or her In

vital question to be answered by the
physician In each case. In no other
circumstances that I can conceive Is
It advisable for a person to attempt
to live without starches. Aside from

Some members of the department
of labor feel that, aa the president
put It, the present program "tends in
many cases to Increase rather than
to decrease inequalities In education
al opportunities. These Increased In
equalities arise from the operation of
the state minimum allotments and
from the matching provisions. They
arise also from the difficulties en
countered In attempts to administer
a vocational program In small rural
high schools."
The office of education, however,
feels that the success of the pro
gram, as planned and carried out
under Its auspices, has been success
ful from the point of view of the
number of teachers it has furnished
with employment, the number of
young folks who have obtained Jobs
as a result of their training, am! the
cooperation which it asserts it has
both from labor and employer groups
throughout the country.

This prejudice against "starchy"
foods for grown-up dyspeptics is
akin to the prejudice against sugar,
candy or sweeta for growlng-up chil
dren. There Is good physiology and
good sense In the rule that refined,
concentrated sugar Is not so health
ful for youngsters as Is sugar In its
natural form in milk, in fruits.
The pure sugar tends to cloy the
appetite, satisfied without supplying
what the body needs, namely the
mineral elements and the vitamins
that milk and fruits contain. Like

satisfies appetite and is quickly ab

Curvature of spine,
Z am 30 years old. Is It too late
to correct spinal curvature by any
kind of treatment? A. M. N.
Answer No. You should consult
an orthopedist recommended by your
regular physician. The orthopedist
will determine the best line of treat
ment and your regular physician
can carry it out.
Metal Dust in Lung.
What kind of X-ray should be
used to show metal dust in the
lung? Is such a condition curable,
or Is the patient subject to become
tuberculous? Mrs. B. G.
Answer Ordinary X - ray films
would show it. Renders the patient
more liable to contract tuberculosis,
but many persons who have more

Comment

Day 5 News
By FRANK JENKINS
Q EN ATE Democrats held another
Dig dinner in Washington iuea
day night for the announced pur
pose of promoting harmony In the
party ranks, but President Roosevelt
DIDN'T ATTEND being prevented,
he said, by "pressure fo other things.'
Each of us, of course, will draw his
own conclusions.
rEHIND the scenes in Washington
O a' big btruggle is under way for
control, of the machinery of the
Democratic party.
Conservative Democrats are flirt
ing with the hope that by 1940 they
may be able to control the conven
tion and nominate a conservative
candidate for President, forcing the
New Dealers to split off and form a
party of their own.
This hope Isn't yet mentioned in
public, but it is back of a lot of the
maneuvering that is gonng on.
THE Republican party looks like
thfi natural hope of the conser
vatives, but there are sound political
reasons why thiB ISN'T true.
The SOUTH Is the most important
of these reasons.
'HE South is congenitally conser
1 vative (meaning, of course, the
WHITE population of the South )
The South has given lip service to
the New Deal, but Is secretly fearful
of it.
But the South Is tradition-bound
to an extent not fully understood
out here on the Pacific Coast, and
f hatred and susolclona of ReDubllcans
(tracing back to carpetbagging days)
lies at the root of all its political
traditions.
The South simply CANT vote for
a Republican. Al Smith and Hoover
proved that.
IF THE conservatives are to have
any hope for success in 1940, they
must carry the South. No Repub
lican candidate can carry the South,
Hence the leaning on the part of
conservatives toward the idea of cap
turing control of the Democratic
party.
It has even been suggested that
the Republican party, whose leader
ship is essentially conservative, shall
give up its enmity and go over to
the conservative wing of the Demo-
