William Jennings always had a four-star place on the pro gram, and always made an impassioned plea for prohibition which aroused the assembled delegates to veritable paroxysms of enthusiasm. State placards would march, flags would wave, and even the official band with sure-fire "Dixie" often failed to restore anything approaching quiet in the galleries for as much as half an hour afterward. Any inexperienced observer would be convinced the "Boy orator of the Platte" now grown man, had practically the same oratorical and hypnotic power over his party, that' was the case when he made his "cross of gold" speech. But a few hours later he would have to admit his mistake. For after cheering, Nebraska's silver-tongued Demosthenes to the echo, paying a deserved tribute to the grand old man, the boys and girls assembled headed by the New York delega tion, always proceeded to vote down everything W. J. B. proposed, and all his life, had stood for, So during the later years of his life Mr. Bryan's "heart was in the grave" after practically every party convention. OF course our British cousins don't out np any similar monkey-shines in parliament, and except on rare occasions, conduct their affairs of state, with oppressive dignity and decorum. ' But according to press dispatches, Honorable Winston Spen cer Churchill was given "careful. attention," yesterday when he condemned the Munich pact and more or less completely took the moral hide off, the right honorable Neville Chamberlain, When the mercurial Winston took his scat, there was general applause from the prime minister's own section, and enthusi astic approval from the opposition. But that, too, must have been, largely a personal tribute to Churchill and like Bryan's Dry exhortation, a tribute to the moral integrity of his stand, rather than any sympathy with his actual proposal. For today parliament voted 366 to 144 to sustain the Cham bcrlnin program, and uphold the dismemberment of Czecho slovakia, and if a general election should be called there is practically no doubt, the people of England will uphold the government, and repudiate Winston 1 What IT is difficult to take the editorial eye off Europe, the imme diate situation over there is so much more interesting and dramatic than anything that is going on in this country, including the world series, and the alleged political campaign. History is so acutely in the making and to date, Jew-hating and Jew-baiting Adolf is running so true to form. Before one's eyes, what a week ago was a free, independent and prosperous country, is being cut up, and appropriated, by a nation that less than two decades ago was brought prostrate to her knees, and, Der Fuehrer, without so much as a decent interval, is pro ceeding to behave with that cruel arrogance, ruthlessness and insatiable ferocity which those who know him best, and fear him most, PREDICTED FOR example: today he not only insists upon tne auaeien areas predominantly German, and plebiscites where German majorities are doubtful, but plebiscites where it is KNOWN. Germans are in a decided minority (but where he undoubtedly believes his military control, can he wishes). And at laBt report couldn't summon the courage to As if this were not enough Hitler also is preparing a bill for reparations, from Czechoslovakia, dating back to the birth of the republic, something new in international law, but not so new perhaps in the annals of medieval conquerors. If a similar ethical principle were ndopted in our own crim inal code, then it would be entirely proper, for John Doe, after running down an unoffending pedestrian, and severing both arms and one leg, but not actually killing him to collect damages from the unfortunate victim, for injury to his CAB!! What next 1 Looking Forward PREDICTIONS, of course, are always hazardous, and we hope il.o mm - ova nlinut to make, is as false as Shakespeare's "dieers oaths." But if we had to make one, this is the kind we would make: "Germany will not only take over the Sudeten, but all Czechoslovakia) she will secure political and economic control of Rumania, if she doesn't by force of arms actually conquer that country, and all that will prevent Hitler from taking the Ukraine, will be Soviet Russia. In fact this realization of the "Germany uber alles" dream, will bo opposed in any effective way, by Russia alone. There will be no war between England niul Germany or France and Germany, the countries lying in the way of the Teutonic march toward the 1'ersian gulf, will, if need be, sold out, precisely as Czechoslovakia was sold out. Rather a dismal and cynical picture. But it is based upon what this column regards as the realities of tho situation, and the fact that the world, or at least the major portion of it at the present time, is MORALLY bankrupt.

Customa figures show Immense Im portations In the past two years, and It la thouxht they have been doc torcd to conceal the preparedness program's real extent. The need for other metelt Is as desperate aa for Iron, and the food supply Is a press ing Oermsn problem.

TO IMPROVE POSTUR Of the four grade of profile pos ture from excellent or A to Bad or D, and the four grades of anterior or front vtew posture from ex cellent or I to bad or IV, 75 per cent of chit dren In the! 'teena ti&vt only C - III or poor posture and less than 1 per cent have A -1 pos ture. The poor pos ture of the ma jority of young persons la primarily due to one or more nutritional deficiencies, notably deficiency In the Intake of sunshine vitamin D throughout childhood snd deficiency In the Intake of calcium and phosphorus due to excessive de flnement of food which removes much of the natural calcium and phosphorus from the food, and also the lack of adequate vitamin D which is essential for the utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Peinsps deficiency of vitamin B complex In the refined diet, and faulty metabolism of Iron and other essentials the assimilation of which requires vitamin B complex, la the next most common cause of the poor posture of growing children. The contempt of proper physical education which la felt and evi denced by ao many American educa tors has the sad effect of encourag ing pampered or spoiled children In evading this part of their schooling: it promotes a negligent or indifferent attitude among pnrents. too. Remember the grade A (excellent) profile external auditory 'matus or opening Into ear, tip of acromion i (tip of shoulder) greater trochanter (outer bony prominence of hip) and external malleolus (outer ankle bone) are In a plumb line. And the ex cellent (I) anterior or front view posture requires the knees, ankles and great toes to touch easily, a space visible between Insteps, shoul ders of equal height, curves at waist line equal. For child or adult with poor pos ture the best way to Improve the posture Is by beginning at the head. Sit, stand and walk, whenever you think of It. aa tho you were carry ing a large. banket of fruit balanced your head. Also whenever you think of It. drnw In your chin and tuck It down Inside an Imaginary high stiff collar. Such constant pmc tlcc la bound to Improve the pos ture of the entire body. Having learned how to keep your head on straight, and perhaps to go about correcting the chief faults in your nutrition, it Is well to consider better handling of your feet. The most prevalent error in han dling the feet la toeing out. Unfor tunately young ladles were formerly taught that it la dainty or graceful to toe out, and even in the army soldiers were compelled to toe out. when standing at attention. This Is ss wrong and aa quaint as bustles or toothpick shoes. Every one should toe GIVE Chest Headquarters 125 East Main Phone 789 Brady.'M.D. E BEGIN AT THE HEAD straight ahead or even a little In ward. Any other position of the foot la ugly, awkward and abnormal. When the heels are together the toes should always be together, too.

Man About Manhattan By OKOBOt riCKER NEW YORK The words "mural" and "controversy" will have to be hypenated soon. They're practically Inseparable. The latest storm has broken over the New York world's fair where James Owen Mahoney's (5,000 prize-winning mural for t the Hall of the Judiciary is be ing drenched with epltheta by nationally known artists. This time they complain that the mural Is "unoriginal" and "undistin guished." TUCKH Post office murals often cause bat tles. That little spat between Rock well Kent and the Puerto means a year ago was over a mural Kent hid done for the post office building. Washington. The Puerto R leans ob jected to that message in Eskimo : "Puerto Rico mtunlera llaptlumum : ke ha chlmmeulakut and ao forth. In other words, "Let's change chiefs." Besides, Kent's Puerto Rlcans, said the natives, looked like Africans. They weren't enthusiastic. The mural trouble which should have ended all mural trouble, and didn't, took place at Rockefeller Cen ter. Diego Rivera, the celebrated Mexican artist, insisted on incorpo rating a figure of Lenin. The Rocke fellers said no. Before the thing was over, Rivera threatened court pro-1 GENEROUSLY- ceedlngs, 400 left-wingers picketed Radio City, and the Rockefellers were called everything from "perfect gen tlemen" to "cultural vandals." Another sore point at Rockefeller Center was the portrayal of Christ In a panel depicting the sermon on the mount. Frank Brangwyn, the artist, said he waa told to omit Christ. One idea was to use a "great light." Finally, a compromise was reached, and the figure was present ed in such a way that the face didn't show. Now that the WPA la murallzing public buildings far and wide, we have a lot to look forward to. A mural by a Japanese artist, Elrar Ichlgaki, in Harlem court, gave Ab raham Lincoln- the same dusky hue as the slavea he waa liberating. In addition, the murals were called bath "inciting" and "depressing." Fortunately the murals were tacked up temporarily. Before they were of ficially approved (or disapproved) by the municipal art commission, they disappeared. Attaches of the Harlem court said they didn't know when the paintings wre removed or where they were taken. Artist Harold Weston's mural, mo rale has been unshaken. His laugh ter tinkles clearly above the outraged (iries. In a series of murals for the treasury department, he burlesqued murals which had caused, shall wc say, "controversies" In other govern ment buildings. One shows Justice distinctly leer ing from beneath her blindfold. Another outnudes an Indian scalping mural in which the exposure of flesh was criticized. "It's all In fun," he declared. One reason for such tempests may be that murals have something In common with the movies. The man in the street haa an Interest in them. A painting which might have an unblemished reputation tn the clois tered retreat of the art galleries, can't take It In the market, places. John Doe, buying a stamp In the post office, sees a mural which Is "un-American" or "unconventional." It's his post office and he revolts. Hew does a mural get that way In the first place? Some critics are ao unkind aa to cry "publicity" when a freak mural sees the limelight. But it may be more than that. There are artists who Just burn with con victions, and a mural la a good medium for propaganda. And If nothing else causes a mural controversy, there's always surrealism. Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS BEST wisecrack of the week and WHAT a relief It is to be able to talk of simple wisecracks after a couple of weeks of war talk I Roland Wright, returning from a hunting trip and asked If he hod any luck, answers: "I sure dldl I didn't get shot for a deer!"

The judgment was awarded against George Jones on a debt contracted back In 1807 and running ever since at 8 per cent Interest compounded annually. Stewart collected $10.69 on his 300 trillion dollar judgment, and then Jones went bankrupt. It Isn't so much, you see, what you have coming as what you ACTUALLY GET that counts.
