The statement of Wood said:
Hiding behind the name of Repre-
sentative Garner of Texas, the Demo-
cratic national committee issues a
statement to the press which by innu-
endo and implication impugns the mo-
lives OF the President of the United
States. The tactics are characteristic
OF that national organization, but not
OF Representative Garner, and the
House Democratic leader does poor
honor to himself and his ONCE by per-
hitting the use of his name in such q

However, suppose the President did

the subject Of tariff on Cuban sugar.

while on Cuban sugar, I may suggest
that Mr.. Garner and the so-called

Associated Press Stan Writer,

The merry mix-up that Santa always
makes proved too much for helpful
Mrs. Herbert Hoover.
She came through the curtain of the
Fox Theater and saw, arranged in neat
rows, by color and number cards, the
wide-eyed, expectant children Of Wash
ington's neutrality-suspicious. class. They
were the kind of children whose par
ents were not hit by the stock market
crash, having no margin for even the
insurance payments.
She saw huge, bullying, gay cretonne-
covered bags, arranged IN neat rows,
by color and number cards, to match
the little boys and little girls.
For the children, Mrs. Hoover spoke
almost an ultimatum:
will you please arrange 1t 30 the
right child Is with the right bag?" she
said to the master of ceremonies. IF
just give any bag to any child that
comes, I'll get them all mixed up. ]

And Then the Mix-up.
A smiling Mrs Hoover. in soft, rich
gown of maroon colored velvet, with
close fitting hat Of maroon deepened
almost to brown, stood beside q cheerful
Santa. gave out bright bullying bags to
the toddlers from Central Union Mis-

almost as big as the wee boys and girls.
And as tiny Marie Couch struggled
from the stage under her burden. she

The majority Of people do not
make any decided dietetic change
unless they are DESTROYS Of overcom-
ing some diseased condition OF the
body, and while the results and re-
coveries from q change Of diet are
often spectacular, 1t must be re-
membcred that most sick people are
laden down with disease toxins, and
that these toxins must be eliminated
before the elements Of the food can
be properly assimilated and incor.
porated into the body.
Sometimes these poisons have ac-
cumulated In such quantity that q
change toward q more wholesome
diet produces what has been termed
q dietetic crisis. AS the blood be-
comes more alkaline, it dissolves
many Of the virulent toxins which
have been deposited for years In the
tissues Of the body. AS these toxins
circulate in the blood before being
eliminated. they may cause various
aches. pains and headaches until the
eliminative organs, such as the kid
neys. intestines, lungs, liver and
skin have removed them from the
blood stream. These disagreeable
symptoms are really favorable indi-
cations and will disappear as soon as
the poisons are eliminated. Break
ing fast In the middle of one Of
these periods throws the toxins back
into the tissues and tntarferes with
kHA {AAosAAA
which are widely used will suppress
the elimination Of these disease toxins
and by stopping the crisis, prevent
q cure. A crisis Is really q sort of
bodily housekeeping. and often as
much improvement occurs during 4
two or three weeks crisis as might
ordinarily require weeks or months.
II the poisonous materials which
are being discharged through the
various membranes Of the body are
especially virulent or in unusually
large quantities, q local irritation Of
the eliminative organ may result. For
this reason q crisis is sometimes
accompanied by skin eruptions,
showing elimination through the
skin; or by sort Of cold, indicating
elimination through the mucous
membranes; or by 4 diarrhea, indi-
eating elimination through the
bowels: or by q burning. profuse
urination. indicating elimination from
the kidneys.

In order to develop normally physi-
cally. mentally and morally, children
must live in . home atmosphere of
happiness. Not the happiness of
sporadic stimulation that comes from
movies. candy. and the excitement of
frequent new toys, but the happiness
Of contentment and peace.
just as peace Is necessary to the
we'll being and good health Of grown
ups, SO is 1t doubly essential to the
welfare of children.
It is fallacy to think that because
children are children they are aware
of disturbances In the home. They
may not understand accurately what
the trouble is about. but they are
quick to sense unhappiness in their
parents. Children have an almost
uncanny intuition. They sense dis
turbance as SUI ely as seismograph
spots an earthquake in China.

''Oh. run off and play and don't
ask 50 many questions!"
Impression Lingers On
That diSmisseS it for the parents
but not for the child. Plastic crea-
lures that they are, one more impress
sion of trouble has been made and It
will stay.
Children have vivid imaginations:
they also have q tendency to exag-
gerate. What may be only . storm
in q teapot to their parents may be
. veritable cyclone to them.
And don't think that they will for
get about it! A child's memory is
tenacious. II there is any forgetting
to be done, there are long chances
that 1t will be the parents who do 1t.
Even II details pass out Of their con-
sciousness, the uneasy impression OF
trouble remains to do its damage to
nerves and health.
Once may not be serious or twice or
even dozen occurrences Of the kind.
But habitual wrangling will eventu-
ally tell its story.
We have all seen the pale, neur-
asthenic. listless child who reflects
the chaotic atmosphere of his home
life. Indeed such children are too
common.

EINSTEIN'S POETRY

Trying to assmilate the ms and outs Of Professor
Einsten's latest theory is by no means the simplest
diversion you could select for quiet evening
1t starts out very harmessly. Gravitation, magnet
ism and electricity all different manifestations of
the force. This new, but it isn't hard to grasp
You decide that if this is all there is to it, the in
ricacy Of the whole thing has been vastly ovcrratcd
But that's only the beginning. There implica-
(ions it seems, that follow; and they no light
mental exercise for anybody.
As u result of the new conception, says Ensteins
most prominent disciple, must revise our concep-
ton of the electron The clectron has reality is
simply name for dsemboded force.
This, too, most of US accept-chefly because we
have only the hazest conception Of what eecron IS
supposed to be.
But there is to it. What applies to the
csctron, it is said, applies also to everything in the
universe Sun, stars, moon, the earth-cverything Is
unreal. These things only seem to be- They are
shadows noncxistent and without genuine substance.
The solid ground under feet, the blazing in
the sky overhead, equally vague and hazy. The
tire universe is something between shadow-shape and
. dream.
All Of this, it is said is implied in Einsteins new
theory.
To most Of us, probably, the whole thing sounds like
sheer nonsense. Yet it is accepted by leve-headed
scientists; furthermore, it is not particularly This
is the first time it has been put forward scientific
It their greatest creed
Shakespeare saw eye to eye with Einsten. But he
put It more beautifully. In 1.-THE Tempest" find
this:
-. 1.-THE baseless fabric of this vision,
The Handicapped towers, the gorgeous palaces
The solemn temples, the great globe itself.
Yes, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded
Leave not q rack behind We are such stuff
As dreams made on, and our little life
Is rounded with Sleep"
What is that but the TRANSPORTATION of Einstein's
higher mathematics into music? Poetry and logic,
carried to their highest points, meet The and the
scientist see the same vision.
And what is that vision again? Simply this: that
the reality in world Of moving Shadows is the
internal one. Only the soul stands All the rest
Is merely the stage setting for its earthly incarnation
You, yourself, enduring and immortal than
sum- stars earth. They dissolve and vanish without
trace. Reality lies within your heart.
This Shakespeare's vision Apparently Einsten,
following science instead Of poetry reaches the
conclusion.
