Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I see in the paper
where the public is kicking about
wages being paid on state road jobs.
This is a dirty shame. But if man
on one of these jobs has $40 to call
his own at the end of the week he
IS much better off than the men
working direct for the state.
Did Mr.. Sapp ever have anything
to say regarding the per cent the
state workingman must give to help
pay the campaign fund? We still
are being asked to give 5 per cent
OF our wages, not salary, back to the
sharks. The men and women who
draw salaries are not being forced
to pay anything to this fund.
About the middle of this month
those of us not able to give all will
find we have no jobs. Almost all
the men employed at the main ga
rage are married and have big fam
lies, and when they make all contri-
buttons every week and pay their
own bills the pay checks are small.
Eight hours day and docked flf-
teen minutes for being one minute
late, and it is go, go all day. No
Tune for even drink Of water.
And the ones who are sitting
IN the office with feet on the desks
and smoking good cigars and giving
orders do not know enough to put
gas in a tank, but &lley know how
to rob the poor fish working under
them.
We saw only one call Of Mr.. Sapp
Did your feet get cold? We surely
hope you have backbone enough TO
get Mr.. Simpson or Sapp or the
Governor and stop this bleeding OF
poor men.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Testd's Dream of CoDtmusicd-
ton With Other Planets Is
Extremely Doubtful Of Sac
cess.
NICOLA TESLA, who just has
IN celebrated his 18th birthday,
believes that there is life on other
planets and that the day is not far
distant when radio communication
with these planets viii be effected.
The name of Tesla, perhaps, is
unfamiliar to the present generation
of radio fans. The youngsters to
whom a radio set is something you
buy in a store in all probability
never heard Of Tesla.
But in the old days when a radio
was a wireless something you put
together laboriously out Of wire
wound around a rolling pin, when
Amos and Andy were not yet IA
nous, every wireless experimental
knew of Tesla.
In those days radio wasn't much
to listen to. All you heard was the
buzzing Of ships talking to shore
stations in Geographic code.
And so the wireless enthusiast Of
those days was an experimental in
terested chiefly in building appa-
ratus and experimenting with it.
And every experimental built and
experimental with a Tesla coil"
This was a coil, invented by Tesla,
which furnished electric currents Of
extremely high frequency.
You could draw six-inch sparks
from the terminal of a Tesla coil and
do interesting experiments like
lighting up an electric light without
any wires attached to it.
In those days Tesla dreamed Of
transmitting electric power by wire
less, lighting homes and running
machinery with no connecting wires.
But that dream Of Telsa's has not
been realized.

Roosevelt and, His CAMPAIGN "Cabinat.

How Franklin D. Roosevelt rises or fails to rise To
The size OF the job that is before him is indicated
IN no small way by the company he keeps as he
swings into the campaign upon his return from
his yachting trip
Nature Of the administration" in event of cleo
ton is foreshadowed with fair degree Of accuracy
by associations that grow up in the months between
nominating time and election day. From those as
sociatons can be deduced the kind of a cabinet that
will be selected
Therefore if Roosevelt restricts himself during
the campaign to those most immediately instr1
mental in his nomination, that will mean one thing
If he enargeS his list Of his close advisers and takes
fully into his counsels others of the party who
though not active for him at the convention never
theless stand high in the countrys estimation that
will mean another thing
His course in this regard will be watched with
interest and will have vast bearing on the decision
OF those voters who class as independent and do
not cast their ballots merely for party labels.
Those most prominently mentioned at the time
OF nomination and since as being directly respon-
sble for the Roosevelt victory in Chicago are Messrs
Hearst McAdoo James A. Farley, John N Garner.
Huey Long, A. Mitchell Palmer along with other and
lesser lights.
If these remain in the picture to- the exclusion
of others. it will be only logical to assume that should
Roosevelt be elected their influence in the admins
tration will exceed the influence of the many other
outstanding party figures who do not row appear on
the scene.
The next few weeks will tell whether the nominee
is to broaden the range of his close campaign as
socations to include which will make his or
ganizaton representative not only of Roosevelt and
of Roosevets Chicago victory but of the Democratic
party whole
We trust that he will measure up to the full pos
sibilities that lie in taking counsel in these critical
times with all the best that the Democratic party
affords.

THAT much-vexed question,
i who won the WARP" grows
just a bit more puzzling every day.
Americans are beginning to learn,
with quite objectionable surprise,
that we did not win any material
advantage by our participation.
I hardly think that any one will
contend we were spiritually en-
riched by the conflict and its conse-
quenceS.
AS a matter of fact, the whole
world is just starting to comprehend
that nobody won the war. We were
all losers. Even the prosperity of
the munition makers was no more
than brief jamboree.
Recent events in Europe have
shown that it will not be possible to
make Germany finance the recov-
cry of the allies. Some startled folk
now exclaiming, why, Germany
was beaten, and. yet she may soon
come out of all this as well as or
better than the victors!"
But in all this can see no per-
manent cause for sorrow. Such a
reversal of the battlefield decision
may serve to bring home the fact
that the fate of nations never really
is settled by the issue of arms. AS
far as the great economic problems
are concerned, decisive battles do
not exist.
After the Guns Are Silent

L are deeper than that. slower
and much more certain. It has
been written that it shall not avail
a man to gain the whole world if
thereby he loses his own soul, and
this is just as true of nations.
Accordingly, I believe that the
men of all the contending armies
fought for nothing. Indeed, I think
it was rather worse than that. They
fought for less than nothing. And

How to Lose Fat
 a Pound a Day on a Full Stomach
Do Just These T.Do Simple Things Fat Melts AlDay

Science has made important dis coveries in fat reduction. The aver- age fat person can now rip off fat a pound day--four to seven pounds every week!--on full stomach, with never hungry mo- ment. Thus it is foolish now to stay fat.
 This is what you do: Take a tea spoonful ordinary lad salts in a glass of water a half hour before breakfast every morning. This re- duces moisture-weight instantly, Also cIeanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bioat.
 Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR SToMACH--eat your flll-- of lean meats, vegetables like spins ach, cauliflower, cabbage, tonna- toes, etc, and lots of salads Eat Q lot. Eat all you can hold. Don't go hungry a minute! Cut down on butter, sweets and desserts, bread Eat any fruit for dessert.
 That's all you do. Fat seems to melt away. the coarse lines of ever weight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound e day. You feel better than for years. For in this treat ment you achieve. two important results. The lad Salts clear your system of toxins. sThe diet takes

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsnton

BE MERRY WITH
 THE CHILDREN
 I asked a middle-aged woman recently if there was anything she would do differently if she had a chance to bring up her children again.
 Almost before the question was out she answered, "There certain ly is something I would change. would be more foolish with them. play with them and make non- sense part of our daily life"
 .'well--didn't you? Perhaps you
 No, don't forget. Of course there were times when we all laughed and were happy, times played with them and all that But when I say nonsense mean nonsense
 'I always had my practical old head in my way. couldn't let myself go. Everything had to have a reason, even our fun. Be- sides, usually was worrying too much about clean hands, or jam on the table cloth, or the last bite of spinach to let anything as un- unnecessary as nonsense interfere.
 Too Much Dignity
 "I think 1 would have been q better mother in every way if could have forgotten my dignity for moment and looked upon more things as a joke"
 well, you are right, of course" ," admitted. Nonsense is neces- sary to all of us and especially to little children. It eases the nerves like a bromide, lets us have fun without even thinking what it's all about, and is a fine antidote for trouble"
 .'The children used to talk gib- berish," she went on, land al? ways shut them up because to me 1t waA silly. I thought they would turn into inbeciles, or morons. Now see that what should have done, at least sometimes, was 10 enter into the spirit of 1t and an- swer them in the same way. It was just one chance to laugh we all tended 1t was funny when they thought so.
 Joy Clements Friendship
 Emily was the family cut-up. No sooner would we sit down to the table than she would start about the food. z Her fa- ther and I thought 1t silly and stopped it always.
 What we should have done was to add verse apiece and let the other children try hand. We all would have gay time, dinners would have digested more easily and more than all I think they would have loved us better.
 Well, that is true enough. Two real ties the world over are gaiety and sorrow. People who have a good time together are never strangers again"
 Children Demand Fun
 To moralize little now, let mo say there is still another fact that we should recognize. There IS in children, a sort of fairy lightness that demands fun sheer nonsense-if you like. Just fun without thinking.
 They love foolish little rhymes and jingles. They love what seems to us, senseless talk and even senseless ehavior-anything with a lit and a laugh in it. They out grow it soon enough.
 It is not lightness and joy that makes children irresponsible in later years. Too often 1t is the lack of it. Starved for it, you see. Mix duty and seriousness with fun all you like, but let 1t be there. My friend was quite right.

CORN FOODS CHEAP
 AND HEALTHFUL

Home-makers who must count the cost very closely will find that the corn products offer many ap- petizing and nourishing dishes rich in calories. The popular New England supper dish of mush and milk is exceedingly nourishing and wholesome as we'll as economical and easy to prepare.
 Of the corn cereals. hominy and cornmeal are most popular, for they are not only inexpensive but high in food value. Hominy is the whole corn from which the out side covering has been removed. It can be purchased either dry, cooked or canned.
 When the corn kernel is crush ed, after the outside covering has been removed the product Is known as hominy grits or samp. Samp has practically the same food value as hominy and resem- bles a rather coarse grained wheat cereal.
 Corn which has. been ground still more finely into meal is cornmeal. Usually the germ is re- moved in the milling process of cornmeal. This lowers the vita min and mineral value of the cer- cal to some degree.
 In general the dietary properties of corn are similar to those of wheat. The proteins and mineral content as we'll as the energy value of cornmeal are much the same as those of wheat four
 It is also worth while knowing that the yellower the corn the higher the vitamin and mineral content. Yellow corn furnishes some of vitamin A as well as E. but white corn furnishes only the B vitamin.
 As the weather grows colder hominy and hom!ny grits are es- pecially desirable. If fried hom- iny Is used it must be soaked five or six hours in boiling water. us- fng four times as much water as hominy.
 Perhaps the use pf hominy as e ,tkato substitute is new to you. but it's excellent with fowl.

Sally sat quietly by my desk un- til smiled up at her from my Aorning mail.
 "You remember our talk the other day about training the ob- servation," she began. "Well, I find myself wanting to tell by best friends ways to improve them- selves. wouldn't I be popular if l began doing that?"
 Perhaps they would thank you for it-who knows? Do you have any one in mind?"

 AND TRAGEDY!

ANOTHER SHOT
 AND TRAGEDY!
 "It will be easier--" The woman who said the words didn't finish them. She didn't intend to. She knew that her action would com plete the sentence.
 Before Jack could reach her on one side, before Joe Raynor could cover the distance between, she had pressed the trigger of her pis- tol. For a second, so brief that it almost didn't happen, she swayed. The men caught her as she fell.
 Dead" Dr Raynor said the word moment later.
 "Shot through the ,heart?" Jack asked.
 The physician nodded.
 Sue, standing nearby. white faced and startled, wondered how men could remain so composed. One woman was dead, another was injured. She herself was trembling. She glanced down at her hands. They were shaking. She lifted a handkerchief to her lips. Her heart was beating so rapidly that she thought she would choke.
 She felt as though her heart were coming into her throat, She wanted to press it back. To push 1t down. But her hands trembled so desperately that the handker- chief f1uttered to the floor. Her stomach was acting like a merry go-round. It turned over and over and over. She wondered if she could perform the tasks that she ,.s.k I fr hn done-There were people to be called.
 Steady, Sue. You'll be all right" Jacks voice was coming from long distance. Then she felt his arms around her, steady ing her, holding her protectingly. The trembling was growing less violent. She smiled but didn't an- swer. Dr Raynor handed her some thing in glass.

 Now she was trying to talk. Her | lips moved. Sue went to her. There will be nurse here in a few minutes. Sally. You'll be all l right. Is there anything you would like to have me do?" Sally tried to smile but her lips curved into grotesque grimace. No thank you. But she's dead --dead! And it's my fault! oh. why did l do it? Why didn't leave her husband alone? But I couldn't! I tried to! But those eyes-those terrible, terrible eyes =" Her voice broke, went drifting into the dark corners of the room.

 Sue slipped away. Dr Raynor would repeat his proposal, she knew. He would do it again and again. But Sally understood that while pity may be akin to love, the two emotions know different roads and close as the two highways run, Sally would have them meet, anyway.
