THAT SPEECH AT
 COLUMBUS GAVE THEM WORRIES
So Republican Leaders Are Leaping to the Aid of Hoover, Who Was So Hard Hit
By RAYMOND CHAPTER (CODyright. 1882. by United Press

Copyright. 1882. by United Prcss)
 Washington, Aug 22.-UP)- A sharp counter barrage was di- rected at Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's Columbus speech by the state department and admins tration leaders.
 The state department issued a formal statement denying Roose- velt's intimations that 1t had con- nived at encouraging Notation of foreign loans in this country.
 Republican House Leader Shell asked why the stock market and federal security regulation which Roosevelt advocated had not been tried out by him in New York state where the nations money market is located.
 Secretary of War Hurley is ar- ranging to make more detailed answer in a speech at Providence, R. l.. Wednesday.
 And at Manila, r. l.. it was an- nounced that Theodore Roosevelt Jr, was to return at once to the United States, supposedly to help campaign against his cousin, the democratic Roosevelt, although the announcement did not mention the campaign.
 Roosevelts strong language at Columbus and the sharp replies from the administration over the weekend forecast hard hitting, barefirsted campaign.
 Roosevelt put forward economic questions as the dominating issue. The administration is prepared to accept battle on that territory. While prohibition continues to cause violent controversy. it now appears that the two presidential candidates prefer to center their political cross-fire on the economic problems involved in the depres- sion.
 "The department of state has I never approved a single foreign loan." the departments statement said. 'Tt Advised the bankers not to make loans to countries which had not funded their debts to the United tSates, thereby speeding up 1 the negotiations which resulted in the debt agreements"
 1 Representative Shell asked in connection with Roosevelt's de- mand for more stringent regula- ton of banks to protect depositors
 Has the governor forgotten that one of the most evil-smelling bank failures in the United States took place in New York city, a failure followed by indictment and con- victment does he promise the coun- try the kind of supervision that preceded the failure of the Bank of the United States, a state institu- tion supervised by the state bank ing department? ?"

THE robin sings after his mate
arrives and not until then. He
may be so deeply engroSsed In
i home building and looking about
for food that he is silent. When
his mate appears, such joyful songs as
he pours forth day and even at night!
And when he cocks his head and looks
at the sky with such a knowing look,
then sings, Il have theory, theory
it's going to rain''-well, If you do not
fall in love with him you just are hope
less. 1t has been said that he is re-
joicing over the coming shower, because
the digging will go easier and the
worms be more plentiful.
The robin is our most common bird,
and in spite of this, little Is really known
Of his habits and charm. He is about
10 inches long, while the sparrow Is
little over 6 inches The father robin
is much more gayly dressed than his
mate The head is black and the back
a slaty brown; the breast is very bril-
liant red, with brownish tints. 1he
throat it white, Streaked with black;
the beak is yellow and and about 3fS ms ,ti{ eye
SPOT above it. The wings are wee
bit darker than the back and the tail
is black with its two outer feathers
tipped with white. Unless the bird Is
flying, the white spots do not snow.
The feet and legs are dark and strong.
The mother has lighter colored back
and breast and she does not wear a
black cap.
When the mate appears, right after
the frost is out of the earth, they go
to work building the nest. Strong root
lets and straw are arranged on nrm
support. and when this building mate
rial is nodded to suit the owners, the
bird goes to the mud puddle or stream
and fills his beak full of the soft mud,
then, returning to his nest, peppers"
or sprays the nest with the plaster.
After the material is well soaked with
the mud, the bird gets into it and molds
it to his body by turning and turning
until it is a perfect fit Sometimes the
mother does this part of the work, but
as a rule the father completes the job.
The nest is lined with fine grass and
rootletS. The mother then places her
dainty blue eggs, about four in num-
ber. III the nest.
Father and mother share the duties
of keeping the eggs warm and turned.
About u TO IA days later the wee baby
robins NAV be heard. When you see
their wide. yeIlow-rimmed mouths open,
for all the world like satchelS, every
time anything touches the nest, you can
realize what task it is to keep those
greedy little rascalS filled up and quiet.
Often the devoted father will bring
delectable. Juicy worms and grubs to
his faithful little spouse. She knows
they are for her and accepts the loving
offering with alacrity. 1t is hardly be-
lievable what number of worms four
Youngsters can consume. One man

''Huey' wasn't to be denied. Time and
again he bored in, repeating his request.
His inSistence finally attracted the
boss"
And who are you?" he asked Long.
bit disdainfully.
"Huey P. Long, chairman of the
Louisiana Public Service Commission,
by the grace of God the next Governor
of Louisiana. and man capable CT
making better stump speech than the
one We are now listening to-
The boss" turned aside with some
thing which resembled a "Humph!"
But "Huey" again pushed in, more
inSiStent than ever.
Finally the boss" looked him over
from head to foot.
Mister he said, Il don't know who
you are. But you've got more nerve
than any man have ever seen before.
I'm going to let you speak But get this
straight:
Il don't know how you play your poli'
tics in Louisiana. I do know how we
play them up here. If there's any
double play when you get up there. ther
Louisiana will be minus a chairman oI
her public service commission and you'll
never make another stump speech. Now
go to it!'
"Huey" climbed up. He had heard
of Jimmy Walker. He knew he was q
Democrat. And he had gathered from
what he had heard that the Eighth
Avenue Subway was an issue.
He started out. Before he had spoken
long that crowd in Columbus Circle
was with him almost to man. BY the
time he had finished they had cheered
themselves to the point of hoarseness
That, say his friends, is ore secret
of "Huey's" grip on the people. He
has nerve. a sense of showmanship and
an understanding of mob psychology.

Peter later, "and used them to illustrate
his points. He told us that We could
easily locate a cut of meat on ourselves
if we visualized ourselves as four-legged
creatures. It's easy. too. I tried it.
Why, a slice Of ham, veal outlet, a
piece of round steak all come from the
same place on the various animals.
When I placed that cut on myself in
imagination, 1 could see just where the
round bone fitted. 1t was fun and
Nancy giggled in retrospect.
But the most unexpected thing he
told the group was this-not all roasts
should be cooked in covered roasting
pans in the oven. Beef, pork and lamb
should be roasted in an uncovered pan
with no water added Veal is cooked in
a covered roaster, but with no water

used in basting should be the fat which
is made liquid as the meat cooks. He
said. too, that cooking meats in COW

is equivalent to cooking meat in steam
at fairly low pressure. That method
toughens even a good piece of meat
He's right, too, for have followed that
advice of his before. 1 do cover the

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Some of the early Greeks supposed

Some of the early Greeks supposed
change Words were considered no ex-
ception to this universal law. Some
went so far as to quit talking alto
gether, and resorted to the expedient of
merely pointing and nodding. They
supposed that words would change from
what they we're to something else, by
the time they reached the ears OF the
listener.
This, of course, sounds silly to us to-
day. But the Greeks were arguing
about the sense or nonsense Of using
adays the word-question has taken an
other form: Can we think without the
Use of words? 1t may be that the
people who are living Is centuries
hence, will regard this as silly ques-
tion. But we shall not worry about
that.
Some modern psychologists believe it
is impossible to think at all, unless
you think in terms of words. Others
subscribe to the doctrine of "wordless
thought" So far as I can find, those
who hold to the doctrine of wordless
thinking are decidedly in the minority.
The argument is mainly against them,
despite the fact that we all have ideas
for which we have no words.
The argument runs as follows: Words
are the signs of ideas. Admitted
Thinking is a process of linking ideas
together in usable combinations. Ad-
mitted. Words are the very things
that put the thought-processes in or
der. Even if words are arbitrary
things, standardized by usage and
taught in the schools, it does not follow
that they arc not an improvement over
the natural ability to entertain discon-
nected ideas. You can do no consecu-
tive worthwhile thinking unless you
understand tire signs for the ideas. And
these signs arc words.

The baby birds eyes are closed until
he is about days old and by then his

the feathers are to grow is covered with
spinelike pin feathers. AS the true
feathers push their way out. the soft
