Mary Meek Atheson, a farmer

than it usually has when a dis

Well, your dad amt governor of

Thus did Franklin Jr., hurry
ing from a Newport tennis tourna-

clutches of the law. The expired
license was difficult to explain,
but he finally won release by hir-
ing a licensed driver to accom-
pany him outside the state.
Once across the state line, he
rid himself of the supercargo by
revealing that. he didn't have
money enough. to buy gasoline to
get to Albany and to pay the
mans return expenses, too.
So the boy arrived late at the
Executive Mansion, alone and
driving very slowly Except for
announcing that he wanted to get
his driving license renewed he
said nothing of the incident.
Next day, to his dismay, he dis
covered that the newspapers had
the whole story. Did the Governor
know about it, Sure, he was told,
the Governor knew ALL about it.

very firm about that. He was in
a lather of anguish when Mr..
Roosevelt finally came out. But

Franklin's belated attempts at
confession.
Compared to his sons attempted
secrecy, the actual speeding was a
minor affair. For the Governor
remembers, and so do his sons, the
old Stutz that FDR himself used
to drive-and how he used to drive
it!
The fact is that all the Roose-
velts like speed for sports sake.

other was lolling on the corral
fence of nearby girls dude
camp.
The following summer Elliott
started out with Lloyd Morris
Coates of Philadelphia, his room
mate throughout school days, and
Langdon Roosevelt Geer, a cousin,
to drive to California. But at
Jackson Hole, Wyo., they ran out
of money.
Knowing perfectly well that no
funds would be forthcoming from
home, they landed jobs on the JY
ranch.
In exchange for room and
board, and very little else, they
rose at 4:30 every morning, caught
and saddled the horses for the
dudes to ride, cleaned stables and
corrals, split kindling, and rubbed
down the horses when they came
in at night.

Elliott. I'VE were expected home

Before James Roosevelt entered
Harvard, his father sent him off
to pulp mill on the Sanguenay
river, forty miles from nowhere.
He believed the husky youngster
ought to learn how to work with
his hands.
And Jimmy learned-at the rate
of 18 cents an hour. His first job
was on the river, spiking logs that
had particular mark on them.
He fell in a few times, to the tune
of delighted jeers, but finally was
able to hold his own with the reg
ular laborers.
He lived on the 19 cents an hour,
too, although his mother remem-

said that if she wanted to hear
from him more regularly she
would better send him some
