nee for United States senator In 1928, a noted dry
leader and outstanding democrat was sent To Join
the Texas senior senator Just outside Of the breast
works.
Senator Sheppard and the Missourian campaigned
for the election Of Smith and Robinson in 1928. They
are regulars. they keep the party pledge and vote the
ticket without a scratch
A queer old game is the game OF politics. Senator
Sheppard is a candidate for a fourth term subject to
the democratic primary in July. There are two Tex
ans who are reaching out for the prize.
Robert Lee Henry Is the best known Of the two and
he Is for the repeal Of the 18th amendment and the
demolition Of the Volstead act.
AS for the third contender. he would have the state
give a COW to every farmer or farm laborer without
a COW and he is moist on the matter Of granting ex-
ira privileges to those who are fond OF light wines
and beer. July is coming, and the ballot Is said to be
the thing.

Connally on the Job

Senator Tom Connally Of Texas has renewed his
appeal to President Hoover for the appointment Of
Federal District Judge Joseph C.. Hutchinson of Hous-
ton to the United States circuit court Of appeals for
the fifth district, although it is known that the SON
in-law Of John Sharpe Williams Of Mississippi has
been selected for the place by the gentleman who
shakes the federal plum tree.
Mississippi senators voted for the confirmation Of
Parker. Texas senators voted for rejection.
Hoover appears to have a memory.
Organized labor and the brother in black were q
bit influential in bringing about the rejection Of the
presidential first ~favorite. Organized labor and the
brother in black never protested one little chirp
the confirmation Of Owen J. Roberts, who will be
sworn in as an associate justice Of the supreme court
June 2 and announced ready for service, and service
with Roberts is another way to spell hard work.
BY the way. the new associate justice reads all the
detective stories, major and minor. within his reach.
and his leisure hours are spent at his 800 acre farm
near Philadelphia where he breeds the finest horses
and cows and pigs and poultry to be found in the
state Of Pennsylvania.

Chicago Hopes to Lead New York
Some Dav

Advance hints from census officials forecast a ire
mendous increase in the population Of Chicago over
1920 and more than a tremendous increase in the
population Of the vast number OF Chicago suburban
cities and towns in the county Of Cooke and on the
fringe Of the county Of Cooke.
Now Chicago is planning a s21,ooo.ooo postoffice
building.
Chicago Is the greatest OF lake ports, one Of the
greatest manufacturing cities Of the world, great as
a railroad center, and its public buildings, lakeside
drives, parks and boulevards would do credit to Paris
or Berlin or London.
There Is q crime side to Chicago.
It is reflected in the newspapers, but the glories
Of Chicago are its huge army Of wage workers in
its industrial districts. It's public schools, its univer-
stiles and its junior colleges. It's philanthropists and its
public spirited citizens who are confident that in
the near future. say 1850, Chicago viii lead all other
cities on the North American continent in point OF
population and wealth and civic beauty and civic
pride.
Never mind the crime side Of Chicago. 1t is the
froth that comes to the top. 1t is the froth that Is
blown away. and 1t is a pity that it Is the froth and
froth pushers and photographers who are usually
found on the front page of Chicago newspapers.

A Star for the Legion

II you're inclined to think that the American Legion
Is simply q scial organization in which former army
men get together to talk over old times. hold conven-
tons and dabble in politics, it might open your eyes
to look into things a bit and examine some Of the Jobs
that the legion undertakes on the side.
In the village Of Otter Lake, Mich, the Michigan de-
partment of the legion is quietly and faithfully going
ahead with q task that never gets . great deal Of pub
licity but that provides. all by itself, a thoroughgoing
answer to all Of the critics Of the legion.
At Otter Lake the Michigan Legionaires have built
q modern hospital and a group Of cottages, on a 81
acre tract Of land in pleasant, rolling country.
This institution they call the "Children's Billet"
It is home for some 80 children, who otherwise would
be having a pretty tough time Of it In this world.
Some Of these children are or-phans-children
whose fathers. war veterans, and mothers are dead.
Others are the children OF veterans who have run into
tough luck. Perhaps the father was left a cripple by
the war. Perhaps he has contracted tuberculosis or
some other disease that has ended his career as q
breadwinner. The mother. in some cases, is dead; in
other cases, the father is dead and the mother Is left
with children she cannot support.
The Michigan Legionnaires make IL their business 10
look out for such children. When they find them they
bring them to Otter Lake. There the youngsters are
given homes. The dreary, soul-killing air OF the or
binary orphan asylum" is missing. Instead the
children are made to feel that they are loved. They
have good, home-like rooms TO sleep in. They have
good food. expert medical attention, broad fields
where they can play and scamper about and build up
their bodies.
II one or both parents are alive the legion does
what 1t can 70 make 1t possible for a normal home
life to be resumed. Where the father or mother is
entitled to pension the legion sees to it that the pen
sion is paid. II disqualification is needed. it is OBJ
tanned. If 1t Is a Job that Is needed, the legion does
its best to supply one. Wherever 1t is possible things
are arranged so that the children's stay at Otter Lake
can be short.
But where both parents are dead, or the home for
any other reason Is hopelessly shattered-then the
legion sets itself to give'the children a break through
out childhood.
The Otter Lake Billet is ar inspiring place to visit.
It is an inspiring place to read about. 1t is one Of
the finest things that any organization in America is
doing. You might Just keep 1t In mind the next time
you are tempted to think that the legion is just an
other social or political organization.

She remembered that she did not

she put out her hands feeblv. He
put his arms around her and lifted
her lightly and easily. She could
not struggle; life and strength were
ebbing from her. Under her breath
she whispered something, trying to
fight the unreasonlng terror that
had her in its possession.
