BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

Washington, May 17.-John C.
Calhoun, ex-vice president, ex-sec-
rotary Of state and ex-senator, has
issued q scathing denunciation Of
nominating conventions, charging
that they are under the direct con-
troll of the politicians and not repre-
sentative Of the people.
Of course Calhoun's charges were
made in 1914, when there were such
things as deadlocks, dark horses,
smoky hotel room nominations and
all sorts Of political intrigues, 50 to
all persons who believe that such
things never happen any more at
national conventions his views will
now seem quaint indeed. To others
his complaint may sound rather
familiar.
Mr.. Calhoun's remarks were id.
dressed to his friends in advance Of
q Democratic national convention
which was to nominate q very
mediocre dark horse after blocking
the favorite by the two-thirds rule.
He charged that the convention
would be controlled by political
managers, office holders and Of
flee seekers" and demanded uni
versal election Of delegates by the
people.
He objected to appointment Of
delegates by state conventions-the
method used in many states today
after county and district politicians
had named the state convention dele
gates.
INSTEAD Of being directly or fresh
from the people the delegates 1T
the Baltimore convention will be the
delegates of delegates" he said,
"and of course removed in all cases
1T least three, 4 not four, degrees
from the people. At each success
sive remove the voice Of the people
will become less full and distinct,
until at last, it will be 50 faint and
imperfect, as not to be audible.
ITO drop metaphor, I hold Il i'm
possible to form scheme more per-
fectly calculated to annihilate the
control of the people over the presi-
Dental election, and vest Il In those

DREN
It Is rather distressing to walk
along the streets observing the
number Of sickly, undernourished,
deformed, toxemic individuals suf-
fering from the long-continued eff
fects Of a pernicious diet. This is
particularly heartrending to me be-
cause I realize that these unhealthy
beings could practically all be
splendid examples of physical de-
velopment and correct education.
I have given a number Of lectures
before high school student bodies,
and would estimate that about two
thirds are starving for food out of
which they could build proper bone
and cell structure. The other third
appeared to be overweight, but new
ertheless lacking in mineral ele-
ments.
These misshapen, sickly appear
ing high school students are the re-
suits Of many years Of wrong diet
ing. If a child is brought up on
white bread and jam, there is little
chance for him to have q strong
bony framework. I could observe
in the bowlegs, knock-knees, anemic,
pimply compilations and slouching
backs how little our educational
system is doing in the practical in
struction Of food chemistry.
Some of the lower grade schools
have recently installed dietitians to
supervise the food that is given in
the school, but although some i'm
provement over no supervision, the
chief aim Of these dietitians is to
produce spectacular gaining reports
and as . consequence the children
are stuffed with quantities of acid
forming mucus-producing foods
which add weight but, unfortunate
", no health. The increase in
weight is usually caused by un-
eliminated waste poisons, and is
directly responsible for the many
cases of swollen tonsils, adenoids,
appendicitis, and tendencies to the
children's diseases.
I believe, however, that the
mother should be chiefly responsible
for preventing this condition Of
acidosis. Growing children must be
provided with foods containing cal
cium, silicon and iron. All of the
cooked and raw greens contain these
important minerals, without which
child can not build healthy bone.
nerve or blood tissues.
Not only is it important to select
the right foods, but it is necessary
to combine them properly, and ] adj
wise the complete elimination Of the
white flour products and white
sugar from the child's diet. The
craving that children have for sugar
is a positive indication that they are
not being fed on . properly bal
anced diet.

Editorial Comment
A Practical Service
(Grand Forks Herald

(Grand Forks Herald)
Summaries have been published Of the work
Of the Agricultural Credit Corporation in as
sisting farmers in the purchase of livestock,
but too much stress cannot be laid on the value
of this work as contribution to the whole
business of better farming and the enhance
ment of the farmers income. A glance at some
of the figures given in the corporations re-
port for 1927 indicates something of the scope
and character of the work being done.
In 1927 loans Of $1,042, 734.66 were made to
2.517 farmers for the purchase of 53,001 sheep
and 5000 cattle. Payments received on livestock
loans during 1927 amount to $723, 607.44, and
total payments of $1,296, 471.49 on the $3,140,-
02152 livestock loans made since the Corpor-
alton commenced it's operations, leave balance
outstanding as Of December 81, 1927, Of 81, 84S,-
55OO3.
All of these loans were made in the states
of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana. An interesting fact is that more than
half the number of sheep placed through the
farmers in North Dakota In the four states
loans were made to 1902 farmers The number
Of sheep placed was 53,001, plus 1852, sold for
cash. The amount of money involved was
$685., 426, and the animals were distributed
among 365 communities. The figures for North
Dakota are: number of farmers purchasing,
706; number of sheep, 31,601; amount Of money
$685., 1851; number of communities. 1913. Thus
through the agency of the corporation there
were started in nearly 200 communities in this
state object lessons in the value Of sheep on the
farm, and there can be no doubt that the ex-
perience of the purchasing farmers in these
communities has been watched with interest,
and that it will have an influence on the agri-
culture Of the whole state.
There has been q similar response in the pur-
chase Of cattle, and again North Dakota stands
at the head Of the list in number Of animals pur-
chased and number of communities and farmers
served.

triguing, juggling, corrupt and
packed machinery" into which they
had already degenerated.> Congress,
he said, was at least responsible to
the people; the political bosses
were not.

Calhoun went on, "tends irresistibiy

ayers, office-holders and office
seekers, in contradistinction to the
great mass, who expect to live on
their own means or on their honest
industry, who maintain the govern
ment and, politically speaking, en-
phatically the people.
THAT such would be the case may
be inferred from the fact that it
would afford the means to some six
or seven states lying contiguous and
not far from the center of the Union
to control the nomination and
through that the election, by con-
centrating their united votes in the
convention. Give them the power
Of doing so and it would not lie
dormant.
IAN active, trained, combined
corps will be formed in the party
whose whole time and attention will
be directed to politics. They will
take good care to divide the patron
age and offices among them
selves and their supporters. It
must end, if such conventions should
become the established usage, in the
president nominating his successor.
When it comes to that, it will not be
long before the sword will take
the place Of the constitution"
It did come to that, but smooth
Or and % effective methods as the
sword have been used. One hard
ly ever hears in these days such
squawks at the convention system
o Calhoun's. If any modern day
statesman were to utter one, he
would be guilty Of treachery to the
politicians union and would be dealt
with accordingly.

IN NEW YORK

New York, May 1.-THE spot
lights fickleness is an old theme to
Broadway.
Some sigh a bit at the inevitable
recurrence of the story, some smile
cynically, some wear troubled ex-
pressions as they wonder who time
will hit next.
Certainly there is always some-
thing bobbing up to remind one of
1t. For instance couple of years
ago Juanita Hansen was one Of the
highly touted stars of the cinema.
And the other night at the opening
Of Broadway play, the fate Of
which is uncertain, a handsome
woman was required to stride
across the stage q couple of times.
I wondered why the audience was
applauding her for so inconsider-
able = stage performance. Looking
at the program. / suddenly UNDER
stood. For "the lady in black" as
she was billed upon the program,
was Juanita Hansen.
And surely no individual in the
movie realm was better known than
Priscilla Dean. She's still out with
a vaudeville act that started from
this metropolis some weeks ago. And
Anita Stewart-do you remember
her ?-is organizing q vaudeville
turn at the present moment. So is
Viola Dana. Perhaps any one of
them, or all Of them, will resume
their kleig eminence one Of these
days. And then again. -.
I recall no more distinct shock
than that received last winter when,
upon picking up a play program,
read-"A maid. played by FRITZ
Scheff."
Half a dozen big hotels in the
Times Square belt now deliver a
corkscrew to each room with the
morning paper.
am told that calls from thirsty
visitors made such a demand upon
the time Of the bell hops that this
new custom was adopted. A guest
may now take it or throw it out the
window.
Whereas most Of the big hotels
now display signs announcing that
they're trying to cooperate with
the government in enforcing the
prohibition amendment and hence
must request guests not to order
ice, vichy water or gingerale for
use in mixing drinks. The manage.
ment stipulates that Il will be only
too pleased to deliver any or all Of
these articles when the guest wishes
them merely for refreshment. With
the result that guests order their
ice and white rock, but are careful
not to inform the bellboy to what
use they are to be put.

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

In most of the arts, the finished
product is the work Of one indi-
vidual. In motion pictures it is the
work of many. Before a single set
for the monumental "When q Man
Loves" was designed, research ex-
perts delved deeply into the history
and literature Of the times of Louis
XIV Of France which is the period
Of the story.
Limitless pains were +~%en in the
reproduction of the convict ship and
scenes Of deportation and battle at
sea. So authentic is the atmosphere
in which the characters play their
parts that the theatre-goer is CONF
pletely lost in the story, which
means that the direction Of Alan
Crosland is Of the highest order.
The cast, besides the names Of
Barrymore and Costello includes
many screen actors Of worldwide
fame. The months Of careful prep
aration are justified by the gem
that is "When a Man Loves" The
great production comes to the Capt.
tol Theatre next Monday for 4 run
Of 8 DAYS.
