SYNTHETIC WONDERS

Scientific research, whereby new and
useful materials are produced from sub
stances hitherto OF little or no value goes on
apace, in spite of the depression. In TACT, a
recent survey showed that of $50 industrial
companies questioned more than One-half had
invested more money in research in 1881
than in 1929.
One OF the most noteworthy accomplish
ments of chemistry is seen in the long list
OF products now made from ordinary coal
tar. 1t is the basic ingredient of aspirin, of
which 100000 pounds were produced in a
single year. 1t is also used in the synthetic
production of many other medicines, dyes,
t1avoring extracts, perfumes and molaed plas-
TIC materials.
The odor of practically every flower may
be simulated by artificial means. linus a
combination OF citral and acetOne gives the
fragrance of violets, oil of citronella is treat

CeluIose, derived from cornstalks, pea
nut hulls, straw, wood, or sugarcane refuse
known as bagasse, is further treated to pro-
duce rayon and cellophane. 1t is also used
in the manufacture of synthetic resins for
lacquers and plastic materials, and even for
the generation of gas.

feeds are extracted from sawdust. Casein
derived from skinned milk is principal in

light fixtures, and other nodded products,
and is also used in soap, shoe polish, photo

The list of synthetic wonders might be
extended to great length, and new ones
are being constantly added. Future develop
ments along these lines can not be forseen,
but it is safe to say that they will be of ire
mendous Importance.

in the campaign when he first went
out to Iowa to speak, asked "For
some degree of craftsmanship to be
used" It seems they had been
saying that he had had no ear for
the suffering that had gone on dur
ing the last three years. Well that
was pretty bum propaganda and he
had a right to speak out in church
to stop it, but it is too bad that
politics can't be conducted on a lit
tie higher plane. They just wont
pay even one atom of credit to the
opposition. They are just horse
thieves and that's all there is to it.
Well they are, but aren't we all?
Now this naturally brings me
back to my Platform" Every par
ty and everybody must have some
platform formed even If its in their
minds. Mine is that a President
should hold office six years, with no
reelection. Stop this thing Of a
President having to lower his dig
nifty and go trooping around ask
ing for votes to keep him there
another term. He has to do It,
naturally, but a six year term with
no reelection will be the remedy.
Six years gives him time to do
something. It takes him four years
to find out who is his friends in the
Senate and House. There is q lot
Of Senator'S in there for six years.

A POLITICAL AVALANCHE

The forty odd million voters of the
United States exercising their right of suf
frage at the polls Tuesday submerged Pres
ident Herbert Hoover under landslide of
protest votes which will give Franklin Roose-
welt the largest vote President has ever re-
ceived in an electoral college, in February of
next year.
The Herald editor supported Mr. Hoover
because he was convinced he was the ablest
of the two candidates and that he should be
allowed to carry on the work OF construction
which he had established in spite of a hos
tile Congress, particularly in the last session,
when the House was Democratic.
The farmer, the laborer and the business
man is in tough spot. The rank and file OF
the citizenry could not see a break in the
clouds of depression. They overlooked the
fact that the depression is one of the direct
results of the World War.
AL Smith, the beloved child of Democ-
racy, in a recent article in the Saturday Eve
ming Post, stated that the president was not
responsible for the depression.
There was spirit OF protest in the air.
AS chief executive of the nation quite natur-
ally President Hoover was held responsible,
and the unfriendly congress was exonerated.
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected President
Tuesday not because he is a statesman of
outstanding ability, but rather because he
was child of political fortune.
The Herald is pleased to know that his
party will have a comfortable working ma
jority in the lower house of Congress and ma
jority of seven or more in the U. S. Senate.
The President-Elect can formulate his
program with the expectation that the Con-
gress will work with him.
The South is completely in the saddle as
far as the lower house is concerned. They
control the chairmanships of all the import
ant committees. They will have increasing
power in the next session.
Mr.. Roosevelt has promised to speedily
bring this country out of the slough of de-
preston.
AS chief executive of the nation he is
entitled to and should receive the support
and cooperation of the citizens of all parties
to the end that his program of reconstruc-
tion may have fair and honest trial

Wen, where do they get that way?
Look at the saving of all the money,
all the time, all the uncertainty of
another election. It lessons it one
third. Then pay the man when he
goes out on-half of his salary for
life. The country should keep an
ex-President from bankruptcy If it
can keep railroad or badly man
aged bank. Course the Cabinet
wouldent have much to do ON their
last summer in office like they do
now, but they could hang around
their offices and kill time.
am anxious to see how the state
elections come out. My good friend
Dave Ingalls,, in Ohio, as fine a
young man as ever entered politics
got a tough opponent. Governor
White is a good man and there is
a real race. There's class to that.
Whoever wins that can be proud
and the loser need not be ashamed.
Trubee Dawson in New York, is
another fine young man. Course
Lieut.. Governor is kinder like Co
pilot. After him and the pilot he
has to jump and pull their chutes,
there is not much he can do. But
it may lead him to a better land
ing some day.
And we will know lots more in a
week from now than we do now.
There is going to be a terrible lot
of people fooled. I have always
said voting is a funny thing, a fell
low will lie about it as easy as a
golf score. Every candidate in the
race on all sides have had enough
promises to elect him unanimously,
but you wait till the votes are
counted and let them tell you how
many liars there are of legal age.

WALTER JOHNSON OUT

Followers of the national game are re-
gretful over the fact that Walter johnson
will no longer be identified with the Wash
lngton Senator'S as manager, his release hav-
ing been announced some days ago. The
Senators without Johnson will seem like the
play without Hamlet.
1t is as pitcher that Johnson will be
longest remembered by baseball fans, and as
such he holds the record for most pitching
years, most games pitched and most games
won by any slabman of major league.
Johnson's big league career of 81 years
as player was all with the Washington
team, during which he won Ala games and
lost 275. In one game against Chicago in
1924 he struck out IA batsmen, of them in
succession. He pitched a no-hit game against
Cincinnati in 1920. In 1913 he pitched Sc
consecutive shutout innings between April
10 and May IA. In all he pitched 113 shut
out games and is credited with striking out
3,494 opposing batters.
During the greater part of his long ser
vice he worked with hopelessly inferior
team, yet he never failed to put his whole
heart into the game. Only once did Wash
ington win a worlds series, in 1924 It won
the American League pennant in 1925, but
lost the series to Pittsburg.
In addition to being admired as one of
the greatest baseball pitchers of all time,
Walter Perry Johnson is universally esteem
ed for his fine personal character and exem-
plary craftsmanship. Perhaps no player who
ever graced diamond is held in greater af-
lection by lovers of baseball.

that sort of government in this democracy"
Revolutions make little Roadway against firm
ness, combined with common sense. The English
possess common sense and firmness and display
both in time of need.

This army and staff would become active whenever

on who might be boss of the general staff of that

The real plan for Europe would be United

make it impossible.

Legion Aid Pledged In Effort To
Care For The Destitute

The American Legion has step
ped to the front and joined its
forces, the manpower, brain power
and influence of a million former
soldiers, sailors and marines to
help in another national emer-
gency, the welfare and relief eff
forts being directed by Newton D.
Baker. Such pledge has been made
by Louis A. Johnson, national COM
mander, and a call to arms has
been sounded to the members Of
the organization in every state.
The American Legion is a ser
vice organization, the national
commander said, unselfish and
eager to perform worthwhile tasks
for the benefit of all it's 10000 COM
munities. It is also a practical Or
ganization, performing its service
in direct lines that bring quickest
and effective success.
Emergency relief is not a new
endeavor to our Legion posts and
Legion Auxiliary units. Thousands
of prayers in thanksgiving have
formed a celestial and everlasting
monument on the other short to
the deeds the American Legion
has performed in this respect.
Being practical, the Legion will
recognize, as it has in the past, the
advantage of joining hands with
existing agencies in its various
communities in order to obtain
maxium results. I need not re-
count here the suffering and want
that will stalk this great nation of
ours this winter. Expert estimates
place the need for relief at much
increased figure over any preced-
ing period in our history. One has
only to consider that savings have
been reduced constantly regardless
of whether unemployment has in
creased or decreased. Therefore in
the name of humanity, and in
keeping with our highest ideals of
Legionism, every citizen and par
ticularly every legionnaire who
has given his oath to serve God
and Country, should enlist in this
cause of welfare and relief mobil-
ization.
In a vast number of commun-
tiles this will be done through COM
munity chests which deal with the
problem of relief in a scientific
way, avoiding the duplication Of
effort which individual or group
activities produce to the detriment
of many others, preventing over
supplies to some which increases
the suffering of others. In uniting
effort the greatest amount of good
can be performed for the greatest
number.
Never before in the life of Amer
lea has a situation arisen that de-
mands such unity of action for the
welfare of our nation, because it's
effects will be felt far into the fu-
ture, through the keeping up Of the
morale of our people, deserving
American citizens, who through no
fault of their own, must depend
perhaps for the first time upon the
assistance of their neighbors and
fellow Americans

Beverly Hiils-Well boys it won't
be long now. This is the last week
of Democracy's campaign. If the
boys haven't corraled the votes by
now, why they just as well figure
that the ones that are out yet are
out the money. The boys that
haven't decided by now are waiting
for the best offer. From now on
till Tuesday is where dough counts.
You don't win these late deciders
by arguments. You got to lay it
on the line for them. They have
all perhaps collected from one side
already and are lying for the other
one.

mt below book value, according to Mr.. Boult,

Is per cent below book value according to Mr. Boult,
church treasurer.
The Christian and Congregational churches are
to be congratulated. Few financial institutions
make such showing, and 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that Providence helped those that made the
Investments.
However, it is we'll for other religious organiza-
tons less fortunate to remember what Brigham
Young said when he was selling stock in gigantic
boarding house at Salt Lake. He told the Mormon
saints that the boarding house and its stock must
be success because it was built for the Lord. On
the other hand, he said: eff it should fall you must
not blame the Lord, for that will be bad manage
ment."
In New York, victims of the depression select
street corner, wait for red lights to stop traffic,
then approach automobiles, asking help
One man with good, earnest face approaches
with flowers for sale. You shake your head, you
have done many times already. Another, with a
face not good but pale, and worried, comes close
to the automobile window with nothing to sell. He
holds his hands together his breast, as though in
praper turns his eyes upward, says not word. You
open the door and give him something.
Why does the man offering flowers get nothing
and the man folding his hands in prayer get money?
Psychologists will tell you.
New York's board of education has adopted
excellent idea. Talking films will teach foreign Ian
guages to students, at the time teaching them
about foreign countries, manners and methods of
life Talking and silent pictures in years to come,
will constitute IS per cent of all teaching. Language,
history, geography, geology, natural history and
many other branches will be taught by pictures and
the student win learn more history in half hour
through pictures than he learn now in half a
month through words.

The Jealous Child.

Wv We are likely to be impatient

offender in disgust. We are angry
when we ought to be sympathetic.
Jealousy is an affliction. believe
that no healthy mind harbors jealousy.
The day Is coming when we viii call in

him what he can do to ease the child

ing him We will get prescription for
him. Let us hope it works.
Anger and jealousy go hand in hand.
One is as poisonous as the other.
Neither Of them can live In mind that
Is open to the sunshine Of love and
service. When the healthy breezes Of
laughter and industry blow through O
clean Of such dangerous clutter and the
healthy mind goes ON its way merrtly,
knowing no grldging and no self-seek-
ing. A healthy self, which means o
healthy mind, looks after itself and Is
certain Of its ability to do so.
The helpless self, which means the
unhealthy mind, the one that no sun
and breeze may enter, is afraid, It
falters, 1t leans ON other minds, COM

amount of water and often choke the

have cat-tails you are likely to have
reeds and rushes too. If there Is plenty

cat-tails standing like sentinels, straight

The mother cat-tail produces millions
of seed children each year, and every
one of them has a tiny balloon. The
slightest breeze will lift them. The
stems are like ramrods, and the long,
green, narrow, fiat leaves which taper
toward the tip are bent SO they form
a groove as it nears the base Of the
plant. The leaves vary in length, but
all fold close about the parent stem at
the base. Tough and flexible, they bend
with the breeze and bow to the wind.
Rarely do they break.
Artists are very fond OF cat-tails.
