respectively on Democrats and Re-
publicans. Both Smith and Hoover
can make promises, but Smith is
also in a position to attack.
Promises Enforcement
As for prohibition, Hoover prom

both promise better times for the
farmers, but it is up to Smith to
make the more alluring promises.
In both cases, however, Smith is able
to attack the opposition party on
the basis of its record.
Whether Hoover might consent
to some mild sort of Volstead
Act modification is still not quite
clear. "Grave abuses have oc-
Cured which must be remedied,"
he said. Whether he meant
abuse in the laws enforcement or
abuse of the law through viola
ton may be point of argument.
But the most that any wet can
wiring from his speech is the pos

in the present half-of-one- per cent
limit of alcoho: in beverages. There
is no ncurishment for the vets in
the fact that he pointed out that the
Constitution might be altered in the
constitutional way. A small minor
ity can block that.
One hardly expected to find un-
usual frankness in such speech,
but Hoover displayed certain

our economic progress in the last
eight years to his party more by
implication than by inference.

He made no bold claims for
credit obviously undeserved. He
did not pretend that his party's
record on agriculture and prohibi-
ton enforcement was anything to
whoop about. Nor did he, strangely
enough, pile upon the Democrats the
blame for the critical conditions"

Washington, Aug. 15.-Herbert
Hoover's speech of acceptance, ad-
dressed to the American people, may
be epitomized in a few words which
give the essence Of the Republican
appeal for votes this year and indi-
cate the nature of the appeal to be
made by the Democrats.
It was a conservative speech
eminently safe and sane. It had to
be. Hoover was congratulating the
voters on their judgment in electins
a Republican administration for the
last eight years. His was the voice
of the party-the voice Of the poker
player who has nearly all the chips
in front Of him and is content to
make no large, rash bets.
after eight years of Republican
ISM he said in effect, "you are
happy and prosperous. The farmer
isn't as prosperous as the rest of us,
but we'll take care Of him all right
The next Republican administration
is going to be bigger and better than
ever and we're all going to be hap
pier and more prosperous. You
know you can trust us. Don't listen
to those Democrats. You can't trust
them as you can trust u.s."
Assuming that there is no wide
discomfort among us and assuming
that the hope of adding a glass OF
beer to the other blessings enum.

an unexpectedly large section of the
electorate, it becomes obvious that
the G. O. P. position is strong. Per.

just as much money, but where is

Along the Hudson, the benches
are crowded, the river wall is lined,
the curb is cluttered and the river
banks dotted with couples in sum-

is always the same; always there
are lovers, cheek to cheek, lip 20

one feels no sense of intrusion.
At the end Of several mile
drive, one ponders on the monotony
and ego of love. On each bench. IN

sit boys and girls, each quite as

LET THE BLESSED SUNSHINE IN


When l was boy we used to sing
about letting the blessed sunshine
in, but with the prudery and false
n,odesty Of those days no one
seemed to take such advice very
literally. Even at the bathing
beaches the boys had to wear bath
ing suits with at least quarter
length sleeves, and trunks that
reached to the knees. The girls
were compelled by the bathing beach
ordinances to also wear stockings
and some kind Of queer bloomer
suits. Maybe this was why the
girls did not learn to swim much in
those days. Certainly at that time
our skins were starved for the
health-giving rays of the. sun, with
it's beneficent ultraviolet vibrations.
The change to the simple one
piece bathing suit started on the
Pacific coast, but now within the
last few years the custom has
spread all over America so that
those with the old fashioned suits by
the yardage look queer on any
American bathing beach. The sum-
ner sun which was formerly shut
off from our bodies now gets in it's
good work. This is unquestiOnably
one Of the reasons why such diseases
as tuberculosis are being prevented
and overcome, and in large meas
ure. fer the fact that the average
length of life is now over fifty
eight years.
Our study Of food habits, our in
creased interest in exercises and out
door games have also played their
part. but our change to sensible
clothing has undoubtedly had a
marked influence. The girls now in
the summer wear as little as one or
two pounds Of clothing, and as the
shoes usually weigh half pound,
you will see that there is now vast
difference between the weight and
type Of cloth used in dresses than
that of ten or twenty years ago.
Most of the light colored and light
weight dresses admit more of the
ultraviolet rays and at the same
time shut out the heating rays Of
| the sun.
The ultraviolet is really a cold
| ray, but has the most influence on
changing the hemoglobin of the
blood and increasing the red blood
cells. Heavy clothing, such as wool
shuts these beneficial rays out al
most entirely, and cotton clothing
has a like effect. Silk permits more
of the health-giving rays to pass,
but the new "Celanese" material is
the best Of all for summer use,
owing to the fact that it's material
and weave permit larger percent
age of the blood building ultraviolet
| rays to reach the skin.

held the burner against my skin
for 10 seconds, then successfully
through cloth made Of silk, wool,

skin from the use of the direct rays

developed into deep sunburn: The

Yet in spite of this, there is good deal of unem-

Some people blame mass production itself, which has

Yet perhaps not so strangely, as
Hoover himself was part Of that last
Democratic administration.
Avoiding some basic national
problems, he nevertheless displayed
an acute understanding of those on
which he touched, notably as con-
cerned agriculture.
Republicans are still cheering the
