HOOVER COAST
ANPA|GN LED
BY MILLS

LOS ANGELES, Calf, oct. 4
UN.SJ AT an old-fashioned po-
htical rally. President Hoover's
home State campaign for re-
election was under way today
with Secretary Of the Treasury
Ogden L. Mills as the chief
speaker.
Mills asserted Gov. Franklin
d. Roosevelt, Democratic candi-
date for the presidency, had
failed on his Western tour to
make his position plain on many
of the leading issues of the cam
paign.
The issue which overshadows
all others in the campaign, the
Secretary of the Treasury de-
clared, was an attempt Ito per-
suade the men who. through tho
effects of a depression worldwide
In character now seek employ
ment to voice at the polls their
resentment at having lost their
Jobs" He said:
Their real interest lies in so
voting as to regain them. What
they and the many million
more who are employed have
20 decide is whether, in the
Aght Of the picture 1 have
drawn, they are more likely to
benefit by continuing the lead
ership of President Hoover or
substituting therefor that of
Governor Roosevelt.
"On the one hand, there is
lnexperience; on the other, a
tried and seasoned veteran. On
the one hand, there are mere
vague promises and utter fail
ure to come to grips with the
real problems and a philosophy
which cannot be described as
other than a philosophy Of
despair. On the other hand you

courage, reSOurcefuIneSS, and
achievement which have pro-
duced a program of constructive
effort"

Present plans for the memorial
pole include construction of a per-
manent brick base with bronze
markers. This makes the shaft a

of the pole Colonel Grant will not
oppose it, he said, so long as the
plans proposed show no interfer-
ence with the nursery to be
planted there soon.

TIEBACKs HOLD BOTH GLASS CURTAINS AND
HANGINGS FROM BLOWING ACROSS DRESSED


| the end toward the center, creasing it
where the curve stops. Cut this fold
over along the lines of the curve Just
| shaped. Unfold and you will have a
shaped valance pattern the correct
width and depth for the window.
Shaped valances should be orna-
mented. They can be trimmed with an
artistically harmonizing narrow box
pleated edging. Black glazed chintz
box pleating is smart. Brown Is also
used. Or some color which, like the
valance itself, is used in the color treat
| ment of the room can form this sec
ondary shade. The edging can be
gathered instead of pleated and pinked
| instead of hemmed.
The matching tie-backs should have
the same ornamental edging, preferably
put across the lower part only. For
the straight valances the backs are
straight and with or without rosettes Of
folded gathered matching material.
When hangingS are used with glass
curtains. a smart effect is to have the
sheer curtains looped back nearly as
| high up as the middle sash Of the
window and to have the same tie-back
hold the hangtngs as well as the inside
curtain.
| If the hangings alone are used, they
should fall over the window frame and
but little over the glass. These hang
ings should be Of chintz or some Sum-
mery textile.

DAA1 14V1I ~ O1OANALO ". Burgess.

Grandfather Frog with a self-satisfied
air. L certainly enjoy my food He
snapped up a foolish green fly that
happened along just then and failed
to see him. That was just an ap-
petizer," he added. Il believe in get
ting things while the getting is good"
he continued. Thank goodness I al
ways have flrst-rate appetite"
SO it would appear" remarked Old
Mr.. Toad dryly.
Just then there was a little splash
in the water off at one side. Grand
father Frog instantly turned that way
and his big. goggly eyes grew bigger
and more goggly than ever, if that were
possible.
There is a fish" said he. land by
the way it acts there is something the
matter with it. I do hope it will come
this way. You might go over there and
see if you can't drive it this way"
I'll do nothing of the kind" replied
Old Mr.: Toad Indignantly What good
would it do you anyway? You've got
your stomach full now, and even if you
hadn't, that fish is too big for you to
swallow. 1t is longer than you are"
Grandfather Frog took no heed Of
what Old Mr.. Toad was saying His
eyes were on that struggling fish and
they were beginning TO glow with
eagerneSs. That fish is coming near
er," said he, and there is something
the matter with it. I guess Longlegs
the Heron must have struck it, but
failed to catch it. Well, his loss may
be my gain. Who knows?"
You don't mean to say that you
really intend to try to catch that fish,"
exclaimed Old Mr. Toad.
Wait and see" retorted Grandfather
Frog.
BY this time the fish was near
enough for them to see that it had
been injured and was almost helpless.
A little nearer it wriggled and a little
nearer. And then Grandfather Frog
went into action. There was a splash
ing of water and a struggle for a mo-
ment and then Grandfather Frog
climbed back on the rock where he
had been sitting and from his great
mouth projected the tail and half the
body of that fish. Grandfather Frog
did his best to swallow and the fish
moved down his throat a little way.
Then it stuck. You see, there wasn't
room for it to go any farther.

Everyday Psychology
Pitfalls in Day-Dreaming.
By DIR. JESSE VI. sPRowLs.

A small amount of day-dreaming
seems to be worth while. Now and then
a dreamer wakes from his slunbers and
goes to work. Many successful career
has thus had its beginnings.
Despite all this. day dreams are
dangerous. Very few persons should
play with them. If INDUCED in, day
dreams tend to unsettle ones mind, tc
make one dissatisfied with the real
world. Then comes a peeviSh attitude
toward ordinary setbacks. After a
while the dreamer resolves to quit
weaving fancies He goes to work. But
the going is hard Sometimes he mis-
takes his fancies for logical mental ef-
forts, and so dreams on without know
ing what is going on.
The tempting aspect of day dreams
is the momentary satisfaction they af-
ford. The besetting frailty Of human
beings is their search for satisfaction
Therefore, the natural thing to do is to
keep on dreaming In the end they
lead to an empty world where effort is
painful and ambition is despised.
The last step is a deliberate with
drawal from a world which knows
nothing but work and more work. The
day dreamer finally becomes so sensi-
tive that he can no longer endure the
irritations of his real world. There is
only one thing left to do. Become an
out -and-out introvert, interested only in
himself,

HORSE-CHESTNUT.


IN the high mountains Of Greece this
tree has its home. In America, 1t
is used for its dense shades and
in parks, where weary city folks
may rest and enjoy the flowers,
buds and shade.
| It is the tree that Longfellow spoke
| of beside the village blacksmith shop,
| and no doubt there were boys about,
hunting for the fruit. In the Fall, the
game of "Conquerors' Is always a IA
| vorite with young folks, and with older
! .'boys" who still like to see how far
they can send loaded string.
In the late Winter, the tree becomes
wonderful sight. 1t glimmers in the
dark and, as the warmer days come
on. the buds swell and free their waxen
scales. Inside, the baby leaves, packed
| in their swaddling clothes, are eager to
| get out. The tree soon looks as if COW
! cred with silvery, half-furled umbrellas.
| Lowell, who loved this tree, said: And
| gray hosS- S-chestnuts leetle hands unfold.
| Softer'n a baby's be at three days old u
The leaf, when fully developed, has
seven leaflets.
Then come the flowers, "a pyramid
! of green supporting a thousand pyra-
mids of white! Each blossom has
dashes Of red and yellow at its throat,
and the curving. yellow stamens are
| thrust far out of the beautiful rufned
border of the corolla. The fragrance
which fills the air is waited to the
millions of nectar Slippers. Soon there
will be happy hum of insect music
| over the tree. Few Of the flowers set
seed, for the reason that they have not
developed perfect pistils. Two is the
most a cluster produces.
| When the tree decides to shed its
clothes, there Is no delay about 1t. First
the leaflets and then the stem that bore
| them drop separately. At the base of
