DEMOCRATIC
 PARTY LIBERALS

New York (UP)-Development of the remocratic party as the great "liberaP' party of the nation will be President Roosevelt's fund.- amental goal in his partisan rela- tionships during the four years or his elective term, according to Louis M. Howe, the presidents in- innate adviser for 21 years.
 "In matters of government there is a natural division between those who believe it wise to hold fast to what we have, and those who think that new elements, new problems, require new things In government" Howe declared in the present issue of the American Mag azine.
 'It is year since there was a clean-out division of this kind be- tween democratic and republican parties. Some students of political history claim there never has been such g. division. In the national campaigns in which had a small part at national democratic head quarters, the most frequent question asked was, "What is the funda- mental difference between the re- publican and democratic parties? It was a difficult question to an- swer, for if we proclaimed our liberal views, the names of many democrats with constructive ten dencies would be immediately brought up. In similar way, when we sought to describe the repub- licans as conservatives, what has become known as the insurgent group would be brought up imme- diately.
 "I think our new administration will be judged, not on this or that daietl, but as representative or liberal and progressive thought Tn these United States"

 in the Making

New York, May 24.-(UP)-A radical experiment in American railroading will start within six months when the Union Pacific re- ceives the first streamlined motor driven train built in the United States-a caterpillar-lik convey ance capable of a speed of 110 miles an hour.
 The sustained straightaway speed of the all metal lightweight train will be 90 miles an hour. Con- struction of a test train of three jointed cars was authorized by the road yesterday on the basis of suc- cessful laboratory work by p. E. Adams, vice-president in charge of engineering.

STRAWBERRY
 SHORTCAKE NOT
 GOOD TO REDUCE
Fat Students on Diet at Yale Couldn't Resist the Temptation to Take a Bite

New Haven, Conn, May 24-- (UP)-A serving of strawberry shortcake was blamed for the fail- ure of the Yale department of health experiment to trim the waistlines of the too hefty students and at the same time add pound- age to the skinny"
 For months the overweight kept faithfully to their diet of clear soup, cold meats, spinach. string beans, 8 pear and clear coffee while their companions of the training table called Justify for sec- ond helpings of everything, includ- ing rich desserts.
 The lean waxed fat while the corpulent took in a few notches in their belts until-strawberry short cake appeared on the menu.
 The temptation was too great. The "fatties" deserted, leaving their associates in the noble ex- pertinent in undisputed possession of the training table.

INDIANS USED
 ANAESTHETICS

{ Kansas City, Mo. (UP)-Indians in Central America used anaesthe- tics long before Columbus made his voyage of discovery, and were acquainted with the Fundamentals of mathematics long before white men learned, them, according to Gregory Mason, explorer and arch- aelogist. :.
 How many Americans realize" !" Mason asked, "that the Toltecs built a pyramid three times as great in bulk as the biggest in Egypt, that the, Peruvians made tapestries finer than any of Eu- rope, and that the Mayans invent ed zero 500 years before the Him. dus-which means that the May ans were able to multiply and di- vide 1000 years before Europeans could.
 "The red-skinned natives of Yucatan, whom Cortez called bar barians,' were better astronomers than the Europeans, and had a calendar far more accurate than the one Columbia was using and in some ways even superior to the one we use today"
 Mason's nose recent expedition was financed jointly by the Nelson Art Gallery of Kansas City and the Museum of the American In- dian, Heye Foundation, New York.

OFFICER MEETS
 DEAD" BUDDY IN HOME TOWN
Lieutenant Attended His Funeral Is Year Ago
 Finds Friend Alive
By GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press StaffC Correspondent

Limited Press StanCOrreSpOOnent
 Salt Lake City, Utah-(UP)- sLife, for a fact, is stranger than fiction," said Harold S. Jennings recently, when he met a man he helped to ''bury" in France 15 years ago, on an uptown street here.
 Jennings, & wartime lieutenant, France, Oct. 8, 1918, to attend the funeral of his friend, Grant H. Wirick. He saw the flag-draped coffin, and listened to taps.
 Then, 15 years later, he met Wirick face to face.
 Wirick explained the mystery.
 He was desperately i'll with in- fluenza. The man in the hospital bed next to him died. Confusion resulted because both of the inf1u- enza patients had been students at the same artillery school.
 Later. the mistake was discov- cred and corrected. But Jennings had continued on with his duties and never heard of the correction.
 Both men came to Salt Lake City more than 10 years ago. .Wirick sold automobiles. Jennings became executive secretary of the Utah Manufacturers Association. But during the 10 years and more neither ever heard of the other until they met recently.

Washington, May 24. (UP)- The diplomatic lexicon has been enriched in recent weeks by words which mean everything or nothing according to the point of view or the speaker.
 Carefully framed joint state ments'' have been calculated to 1n- dicate harmony of views from 1n- ternational conversations here, but at the same time have been so broad in their terms as to protect visiting statesmen from posslple political repercussions back home.
 Typical of these "soft" words found convenient by diplomats are rehabilitation" exploration" and accord"
 Efforts to find common points of view for the benefit of silver prices have been referred to as proposals for "siiver rehabilitation" This phrase implies an effort to help siver but at same time avoids vexa- tious political connotation attached to such words as "bi-metallism" or "remonetization."
 The word most commonly ap- piled to procedure in the parleys is "exploration." It means in effect that all the possibilities of a given situation are being reviewed and discussed, but in technical diplo- matic parlance is a little less defin- ite than examination"
 A third word which has been used so frequently and so loosely as to cause diplomatic winking is "accord." Whenever statesmen have found any common point of view which they have wished to make known to the world they have referred to such an opinion as an accord" This to the public mind is a cause of encouragement, but to diplomats it falls far short of such definite words as "agree- ment," or understanding"
 viscount Ishii of Japan, arriving here yesterday, revived an estab- lished phrase of international amity when he described himself as messenger of good will" The Japanese, in press statement which was a masterpiece of dip lomatic phrasing, held himself ready mot to negotiate, much less to bargain, but to talk things over in neighborly spirit

TRACE ORIGIN OF
 QUEER NAMES

Portland, Ore. (UP)-How do the Vests mountain lakes and trout streams gets their unusual names?
 oregon has its Ginkgo Creek. Jumpoff Joe Creek, Mudpuppy, Tumtum or Mugwump lakes.
 Washington's map contains such titles as Humptuilps. Dunk, and Hoh creeks. Ryegrass and Hem creeks in Idaho cause tourists to to wonder about their origin. Le- gend has it Hem Creek was nam- ed after an old gold miner, who cleared his throat. They called him "Old Hem' and the creek h pam ned "Hem."
 Humbug Creek gained its name when an old Oregon prospector sold his va1ueless quartz claim to another miner. Joe Mclaughlin, son of the famous Dr. John Me- Loughlin, fell off bluff into a small southern Oregon stream, which since then was known as Jumpoff Joe. He died of his ln- | juries.
 Fondness of Indians for gam bling gave a name to a little riv- u1et at Plush. One redskin drew a "fush'' in a card game, but in his excitement called it a plush"

FAMED EMBLEMS
 NOT ORIGINALS

Boston (UP)-The recent dis appearance of Massachusetts, sa- cred cod from the state house re- calls that two almost equally fa- nous emblems of this old state have been missing for years, though the average Bostonian would swear he saw them daily.
 When Bostonians point to the lion and the unicorn on the old state house as wooden reminders of royal rule in Massachusetts. they are pointing to 'phonies." The lion and uicorn they point to are copper reproductions of the original wooden eff1gies which now stand on the front lawn of Moses Gulesian in Newton.
 Years ago, when Gulesian ran a copper-beating business, the lion and unicorn were reported badly in need of repairs to prevent them from falling on pedestrians. Gu lesian suggested he might reinforce them with metal.
 After examination, however. he reported that so much reinforce ment was necessary to withstand wind pressure that the figures might as well be replaced by new ones. He agreed to make repro- auctions in metal that would be absolutely faithful copies and was commissioned to do so.
 He sat up the originals on his front lawn. There, in no danger of being blown down on pedestrians. they have stood for years. held to. gether by canvas, paint and nails.

being made are in accordance with
previously formulated policies, and now
there Is tendency on the part OF Con-

past. It is intimated here and there
on Capitol Hill that efforts will be made
to amend the reconstruction finance
act so that loans can be made on
rec sonab,e" security instead of on
full and adequate security"
The purpose of the amendment
would be to widen the discretion of the
Reconstruction Corporation, though it
IS not clear how this would be recon
ciled with the view of the critics that
some loans already made have not been
adequately secured
The truth Is several loans have been
made Under distress and emergency
conditions and were designed to pre-
vent q general breakdown in the credit
structure at critical moments in the
last II months. Now that some Of the
danger has passed, it is difficult to re-
construct the conditions under which
hans were made and hence the justifi-
cation does not always appear.
