This solon threatens to hone up the com mittee he heads for a probe of the money source of all these messages. He also scents some thing sinister, in the rush of telegram company business, and he has something there. That la sinister for New Dealers. The messages are advance notice, the people will vote in Novem ber, the way they wired in June Italy has been- assigned the task of purging the Mediter ranean of the British navy, by . Herr Hitler. The Italian strategy so far is plain. First, the fleet will flit, and cause the British to burn up a lot of coal and oil, trying to catch them. By this time, the Italian armada will be going so fast, they will circle the globe, and hit them selves in the rear. Thus Mus solini will "unleash his sea might," and sink a row boat. DROP MONEY IN W00D-B0X1 (Salem Capital-Journal) "These people, the treas urer and his deputy, were do ing more than a million dol lar business with a horse and buggy set of books in a two-by-four office without even a till. They were running a reg ular banking business." A bill to be voted upon in November, would legalize all forms of gambling, but slot machines. At first blush, it looks like slot-machines were need lessly snubbed, but the second blush reveals the smartness. Suppose the bill passes. Every body will plsy them, because they are illegal. Human nature works that way. ' Freedom for the female legs Is provided In a skirt, Just mod eled, for mountain climbing. The wearer could sink to her knees In a snowdrift, and never get the hem of her skirt wet. There Is a school of thought that holds mountain-climbing is not In woman's field of en deavor. They can bring the same leg muscles into play by wash ing dishes and climbing a dinky ladder, to put the best plates on the top shelf of the kitchen pantry.

They are In no mood, at long last, for communistic monkey-shines, or the soft soap of candidates If Walter can weep his way out of this Jackpot, he's a dandy.

Cloaibg lima for Too Lata to Claa Ul aK It p. OA- Editorial Correspondence Washington, D. C, July 10. War can be TALKED any. where in the country, but only on the Atlantie seaboard can it be acutely felt. And this is especially true of New York, where everything it concentrated and emphasized. This fact was strongly impresed upon us just before we left New York after a boat trip around the island of Manhattan. Coming down the Hudson river our ship passed close to big. dirty-looking Cunarder lumbering up stream, along the upper rail of which a crowd of children of all ages and sizes were lean ing. waving their welcome, with considerable dignity, to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Above their heads was grim looking gun sticking out of a tarpaulin covering, and above that the Union Jack fluttered rather feebly on a drooping halyard. This gave ut the idea, to at soon as we docked at the Battery we took the subway for the Cunard line dock at West 14th street, getting there before these child refugees from World War No. 2 had departed for their various and sundry sanc tuaries. And it was a tight and an experience we shall never forget. Not, at one might tuppose, stirring or tragic, quite the re verse, in fact. These were British children, and the true Brit isher detesta nothing much more than to betray hit emotions. These children, ranging from mere babies to lads and lassies in their early teem, were at poised and self-contained at under similar circumstances their ciders would have been. And of course there wat another reason for their composure they were not war refugee! in the generally accepted meaning of that term; they were not fleeing from shot and shell; none had lost their parents or family connections, they were all children of wealthy or well-to-do families, being tent to close friends or relativei in this country for safe-kcepinn, many with nurses and governesses, all with tome adult companionship and supervision. . And yet we have a pious idea that had conditions been more tragic most of these children would have upheld that British tradition of the "stiff upper lip," race-pride and race-breeding were so written in and over all of them. Yes it wat extremely interesting, here were the youngest generation of the greatest empire this world has ever known, an empire that for the first time in nearly a thousand years is faced by armed invasion and threatened by disaster, from an imperial standpoint EXTINCTION, and ".these striplings in their grey flannel shorts, half-hose and bright school ties were just as instinctively, and thoroughly little English gentlemen with an attitude and a code of manners to uphold as if they had been two or three decades older. And the eorner-stone of that attitude is a deep, unshakable, but unobtrusive, sense of SITEKIOIUTY, the inevitable hall mark of the upper and ruling class Briton, particularly when he comet iu contact with tome other race than his own. That and the unwritten law never to show the white feather. So it wat very interesting to see these youngsters react to their first contact with their American cousins, particularly the newspaper men, who, when one comes to analyze it, are per haps just as typically American as these boys and girls were British. Here was James Sims, for example, on his way to San Fran cisco, looking with complete amazement at the news photog raphers as they hopped up and down and in and out taking can did flashes, "It is so amusing," said he incredulously, "it is really. 1 have never seen anything quite like it." (These weird Amer-i-cahns!) And before they had come off the boat, and a middle aged woman strolled into the picture, along the rail, one of the camera men had yelled: "Hey, sister, can't you move on." More incredulity on all sides, as one of the children re marked: "Did I really hear him say, 'hey SISTER'?" (All this, of course, in the most delightfully modulated and patrician Oxfordese.) Being late we missed a great deal of the show, but talking with some of the reporters afterward, they only confirmed our impression, as one of them remarked in response to a query : "Say, that baby with the white curls ami big nose, I don't know, not more than ten years old, the Du-.-hess of Duckbill couldn't have given nie a glassier eye than when 1 snapped ner nine Drotner i i Another incident: Master Timothy KiilMon Thomason, seven ' years, extremely bored with the questions asked, finallv re-1 marked: ' j "The date of my birth is the first of March, and what else would you like to know, mv GOOD MANt" j And all over the dock were piles of cricket bats, tennis rackets, sports caps and blazers, yes, "Waterloo was won on ; the playing fields of Eton.'' But as one envisions HO-ton tanks, dive bombers in groups of fifty, big Berthas spouting fire across the channel, those hordes (to quote Dorothy Thompson of "FACELESS men" ' Une wonders ir the Battle of Britain will be! Somehow we tear in modern war, sports or the sporting technique dou't count. . . Another incident, related by a ship news man.- Little six-year-old Claire Douglas was popular with all the youngsters on board for she once went swimming with the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose at the Bath club. Other children doubled tip with laughter when a misunderstanding reporter asked if they had been swimming in a BATH TLB. "Did you hear what he said?" e.sked one of the other little TLB'" Im,lfine swimming with the Princesses in a BATH And, as the relator declared, the entire group was so over whelmed at the thought, that interviewing had to cease for a while. And while the reporter, too, thought it funnv, he didn't exactly like, or understand, the attitude of these strange "little men and women" from another English-speaking land And the brutal truth is: "The little men and women" didn't like or understand what they saw of their strange American cousins, either!

It is n e c essary to distinglish the d t p t o maniac from the ine briate; the latter Is an in toxicated per son, no matter how he or she happens to be c o m e intoxi cated. A dis tomaniac 'may seldom or nev er be intoxicated in the ordin ary terse of the term Dipsomania is morbid state, a disease the great obstacle to intelligent, sensible treatment of tho disease or morbid condi tion Is the incapacity or un willingness of the dipsomaniac to recognize that he or she has the disease. Nearly always the victim of the deterioration Indignantly insists and appar ently believes he or she can still "tafcj it or let It alone" and therefore does not need the restraint, care or treatment which the physician advises. If the dipsomaniac is of a low level of intelligence to be gin with this resentment anfl refusal of proper medical treat ment is generally a sullen and brutal rccction of all efforts in that direction. If the dipso maniac is a person of higher intelligence level say a Judge, a doctor, o teacher then he or she resorts to shrewder tac tics and ingeniout arguments to evade treatment. For that matter, when ' a person of brains and culture takes to drink, moral deteriora tion Is usually more marked and, because of . the person's previous sound mind and char acter, likely to prove more dis astrous to those who place trust and confidence In the person. The dipsomaniac now openly exhibits various ugly or un lovely vices or principles or conduct which, in his former normal state he never display ed. And unfortunately for those wno may be in uny de gree subject to his influence or example, the educated dip somaniac proseitutes his brains to the sorry business of con structing excuses for or plaus ible incentives for his vices or immoralities. Thus while he is not obviously drunk he has a d e m o r a 1 1 z ing influence on younger persons and persons of limited influence who are incapable of gauging moral THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington. July 11. What may happen to the Democratic party during the oncoming cam paign, no man can tell. As of today, however, on the eve of the Chicago convention, one thing is abundantly plain. After seven years of triumphant self confidence, the Democrats have suddenly gone groggy at the knees. Except in the little band of new dealers, whose reliance on the president amounts to an act of faith, the morale of the party has broken down. , Outside the new deal group, lead ing Democrats talk about the strug gle ahead In the tone of an unfort unate slumblebum about to be herd ed Into the r1n with Joe Louts They predict victory, of course. That Is the customary thing to do. But even aa they make their predleuona one detects a slight catch In their voices, like the catch In the voice of the stumblebum when he loudly tells the sports reportera. "Why. Ml have the bis; ape down at the end of the third round." The slgna of this swift collspsa In Democratic morsle are moat obvious ly visible in the house and the sen ate. Virtually all th Democratic senatora and ' representative era ready to give support or llp-eenice to a presidential third term effort. Senator Burton K.

DIPSOMANIA values in such circumstances. As I havs already stated, rem edies purporting to cure alco holism or take away the crav ing for liquor when secretly administered are one hundred per cent humbug. If the dipsomaniac can be persuaded to acknowledge hir abnormal state and desire earn estly to be restored, a reason able period of medical treat ment will rid hirrj of the crav ing for alcoholic liquor. The patient must have a skilled nurse attendant to take charge of him at home, or else must enter a hospital or other insti tution where such caro is pro vided, for a period of three weeks. Any competent phy sician can administer the treat ment successfully. The meth od, given to the medical pro medical profession by Dr. Alex ander Lambert, has restored many dipsomaniacs to sobriety and industry in the hands of the family physician. I can give no further details to lay men, but on request of any doctor of medicine I am glad to mail an abstract from Lam bert's original report, with suf ficient Information to applj the method in practice please in close a stamped addressed en velope with your request: CllESTlOSS. AND ANSHKBS Half Baked Dietetic AdMce A noted food specialist etates that anyone get enough vitamin D from such fooda aa egg yolk, butter, un refined lard, beef suet and mammal liver. How do you reconcile this with your theory that all children require vitamin D to aupplement their diet, and even many adults need some. (P. J. R.) Answer The "specialist" evidently hsa things confused In your mind. Milk, cream, butter, eg; yolk are the chief sources of vitamin D In our food. None of them provides enough for the requirement of the Infant, crowing child or young adult. Suet and lard contain practically none; liver very little.

Men more friendly to the White House simply describe the president aa "the only hope." The trouble la that If the presi dent does- not run. all the party w-orkera. all the moderate Democrats, all the new dealers and all the Job holders will simply surrender their cause In advance. H used to be only the new dealers who argued, "the president's the only man who can win." Now tlia vast majority of the rank and file organisation Democrata share the new dealers' conviction. But If the president decides to run. although even so conservative a Dem. ocrat aa Harry P. Byrd of Virginia Is not ready to make a public demon stration against th third term, the right wingers ar Just sour and gloomy enough to lie down complete ly during the campaign. Clearly, th president can only es cape the nomination oy plesdlng 111 health. And even If he should pro duce a doctor'a certificate to support such a plea, a huge number of men In his party would still be bitter against him for "knocking down the other candidates." while a certain type of publicist would probsbly sc cuse him of having forsed the doc tor'a name. Equally clearly, it will be Incredibly difficult for the prea Ident to rally and unite a party In which one sector of opinion consid ers him a sort of long-shot bet. while another w-ante to see him run and be beaten. At th moment. It Is almost uni versally assumed in Wshington thst the president s choice will be to run although few forecasters fsll to add the hedge thst "he s a great man for last minute surprises." Rumors as to his plsrs are that he will replace Jamea A. rar'.ey with tho amiabU but uneacltlng Prank Walk er as chairman of the Rational com mittee, and thst he will avoid 'he Chicago convention, delaying his ac ceptance speech until September Neither maneuver la calculated to arouse the swift enthusiasm snd quick home of victory which th Democrat now so badly need.

AAA PAYMENTS FOR YEAR RISE 10 750 MILLION By Fred Ballsy Washington U.F! More than 6,000.000 farmers have qualified for places at the counter when Uncle Sam slices the $750,000, 000 government benefit pie for 1940, department of agriculture figures show. Payments will range from a few dollars to $1,000 and will average $125 for-each of the 6, 020.400 farmers who have been certified by the agricultural ad justment administration as "co operators" in the 1940 program. These farmers will have earned the payments by com plying with AAA acreage limi tations on cotton, corn, wheat and other crops and by follow ing soil conservation practices prescribed by AAA. ! In addition to receiving bene fit payments, farmers who co operated will be eligible to re ceive loans from the Commodity Credit corporation on their 1940 crops. Wheat, barley and rye have been declared eligible for loans and corn and cotton are j expected to be added. The number of farmers parti i cipating in the farm program I this year is the largest in seven years of operation of the pro grams. Last year the total was 5,764.200. The benefit payments for 194,0 also are expected to reach a new record. They will consist of ap- proximately $500,000,000 in soil conservation payments; $223, 1 000.000 in "parity" payments, and $40,000,000 to sugar pro ducers. Agricultural adjustment ad ! ministration officials estimated that 82 per cent of all cropland in the United States was farmed under the AAA program this year. Last year the percentage was about 80 per cent. Radio Highlights B Associated Press. (Pacific Standard Time.) As part of its war broadcast ing.

The liquor commission said the difference between the fed eral tax and the $1.20 the stats upped its price is due to the commission's policy of adding a 40 per cent mark-up over the increased cost on all sales. The percentage of mark-up over the increased cost remains the same although there is an actual money increase of 45 cents a gallon over the federal tax that the customer is paying. J. N. Chambers.
