cisions, but the timber that meets the
exigencies and problems these circum-
stances give rise to, is immutable, react
ing always in accordance with its divine
endowments. There Is no unknown
quantity in a mans native stability of
character. It is upon Franklin Roose-
velt,s native stability of character that
we can build.
We heard a great deal last November
Of the personality" Of the Democratic
candidate and great deal in the ranks
of the opposition which might indicate
that personality" Is at best an unstable
and ephemeral quality upon which to
base fitness for the solemn Office Of
President of the United States. But per-
sonality is not a volatile possession. AS an
outer expression of the inner man, the
tangible and exuberant outlet of his
energies and emotions, it is perhaps one
of the most stable indicators of his In
herent qualities and character.
II you doubt that try to fake the spon-
taneouS grin of Franklin D. Roosevelt!
That grin has grown up with him; he
wore it at Groton, when he was IA; he
carried it through Harvard and Columbia
Law; he flashed 1t in the legislative
chamber of the Albany Senate; the dis
arming shaft of it pierced the stodgy
smugness Of Washington oflcials bound
to the eyebrows in red tape during the
tumultuous days of the war; it shot its
way into the heart Of State of 10000
people and sent him twice to the Gov
ernor's seat; it went across a continent
and back again with such compelling
yigor that millions, later, revisualized it
IN a voice reverberating from the loud
speaker of a household radio. You can't
fake grin like that! It is a reflection
Of light within.
iA/E give too much heed, perhaps, when
Nv we consider a mans fitness for
public Office, to the material essentials of
previous experience, of political acumen,
to shrewdness and tact and diplomacy
and all the other moot virtues incubated
In the strife and stress and demands Of
public contact. No intelligent observer
would underestimate the value Of such
dearly won attributes. But in the last
analysis it is the man that counts, the
man shorn of the affectations and policies
Of Office, for it Is the stripped soul that
stands face to face, when every question
Is sifted to the bottom, with ultimate de-
eision Expediency, policies, precedents,
interpretations, judicious demands or in
Auences know only secondary satisfac-
tion The right Of any human problem
Is the first consideration of the response

acter and that character is the result Of
certain definite factors of destiny.
ONE can scarcely disregard, at the
~ outset, the excellent stock from
which the President springs. He has
been accused" by people narrow and un-
intelligent enough to use such verb In
this connection, Of being q patrician.
It is certain that Franklin D. Roosevelt
will never be counted among the i'm
mortals If elevation to that niche de-
pends upon the chinks in the family log
cabin. Snow has never drifted across
his bedquilt nor has he read, to my
knowledge, by the light of a burning
ember.
Lack Of worldly goods or material pos
session is no measure of worth. Franklin
Roosevelt had been abroad eight times
before he was II; he had been educated
by governesses and tutors; he had owned
his own horse and ice-boat; he knew no
privations. But he developed stamina
enough to stand up against political
machine one under whose un-
suspecting banners he had entered pub
lie Nfe-and fight for a principle when,
as a young and green insurgent he pitted
his intelligence, his sense of justice and
political acumen against the tricks and
cleverness Of seasoned politicians; he
took a physical blow that would have
felled q weaker man, standing up, with
out losing the grin, refusing to regard
himself, sentimentally, in the light of
a beaten man; he has shown himself to
be, under q great diversity of conditions.
high h-principled, meticulously scrupulous,
possessed of keenly developed sense OF
fair play; understanding, sympathetic.
fair-minded, traits that are not popularly
associated with one born on ancestral
acres, knowing not want.
Assuredly, he Is a patrician, in the true
sense of that word, possessed Of that
divine gentleness which is the only real
measure of aristocracy. The executive
mansion in Albany has opened its doors
to quaint and curious VISITORS measured
BY social standards. "Now you will see

respondent, and shortly thereafter there
appeared at the family tea table q red
faced, huge-hapded individual. Roose-
velt accepted the rough exterior of the
man for the gentle, kindly heart he
knew to be his.
If you have seen the Albany Legisla-
ture in action you will agree that any
crowd called together by an exciting &C
cident in the street would be fairly rep

 CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
o7o5S sY NF7 sfsVIcF. lNc

A young mother with a baby a wear and a half old asked me re- gently about socks.
 She had been to Alabama where in her community, at least, there was a prevailing custom of hard ening children by allowing them to 20 out without any stockings or socks at all.
 "Even on chilly days when they | had to wear overcoats," she told me, they would be out without any kind of leg covering and some- | times in their bare feet" What I write here will be in a general way my answer to all that.
 "You can do things in the south you cannot do in the north, and you can do things in the west that would not be wise In the east. High land climate also differs from coastal climate or that of any low country. Conditions in cities are | different from those in the country.
 "Take all these matters in re- verse and you can easily see that no one rule of dressing can pos- sibly be applied to children.
 Climatic Change "The most difficult climate Of all to contend with is the change able one, where one has beautiful warm sunny spring weather one day, to be followed in a few hours by drop of from thirty to sixty degrees to a zero temperature, or below, with snow, wind and reg ular Pandora's box of troubles. Such changes frequently have those dreaded in-between days, with damp air, lowering skies, low barometric conditions that hold the smoke to the earth, rain, fog, still frost or, sleet.
 "The change back again to good | weather brings the same discom- fort. Winter in our north temper ate zone here consists chiefly of dropping into wells and climbing out, then climbing ladders and fall ing back. "Then, too, the child himself must be studied and the regular temperaure, indoors, that he is ae- customed to.
 Must Accustom Selves "Indians used to be healthy with much of their bodies exposed. But this must be remembered. They were practically outdoors all the time. That makes the difference.
 "Too much surface suddenly toned to house warmth of 6S or 70 degrees into cold air that regis ters 30 or 20 or below Is danger ous unless enough of the surface of the body is covered to keep cell temperature equal.
 ITO mfuch surface suddenly chilled is bad, whether on legs or anywhere else. It is unequal divi- sion of temperature on different parts of the body that causes colds and illness.
 Little people should, think, wear leggings as a general rule. And l should not leave these off | one day and put them on the next, if they are young. Older children can be more safely hardened but these things have to be studied out. On cold days, or damp chilly days their legs, too, should be covered, either by warm stockings or leg gings. The regular body heat must be preserved.
 | "Overshoes keep the dampness and chill of the ground away from little feet, I am very fond of over shoes in winter"

SUE LEARNS JACK IS HURT
1oIaai sY MA sfRNIcs iNc.

Joe Dexter was the girl who waited at Sues door. Joe Dexter, Sue knew only too we'll, cherished a fondness for Jack. They had grown up together. They had been friends for years. Then Joan had married and gone away. Jack had never felt romantic about her. That Sue knew quite well. But when Joe returned to the town, with her husband, Malcolm Dexter, and went to live in the old family home which her brother, Arnold Page, had reopened when he returned from his jungle ex- that she worried about Jack. But she disliked the manner in which Joe made an obvious play for him on every occasion.
 Now Sue opened the door and asked tho girl to come in. NO, no, I can't! Get y0ur coat and come with me. Hurry. Joe said. But she thought she saw a triumphant gleam in her eyes.
 Hurry! Why Sue asked, and there was a dull little pain of something-envy, perhaps-in her heart Where? And why?" But she knew that the news concerned Jack.
 Jacks been hurt!"
 "Oh-h!" Sue had not thought of that at all Had not dreamed that Joe would be the bearer of such news at any time. But had Jack been with Joe? Now her heart was 6 lump of lead. Only lead was supposed to have no feel ing-and her heart hurt dread fully. Joe and Jack! And Joe had come to tell her. It was cruel. Why hadn't she let someone else do the calling? How could she stand there smiling with such a superior air? She had been along when the accident happened. Jack had probably picked her up somc- where. But Joe would rejoice be- cause her name would be linked with his. Sue hated her, franti- cally and terribly.
 All this went through Sues mind in q tumbled instant, while the slower, moro terrible thought that Jack had been hurt was per- meating her consciousness Then suddenly 1t seemed to famce around her.
 "Jack--hurt? oh, where is he? She didn't wait for her coat or hat. She started down the steps.
 "Oh. not that bad. He isn't going to die. Get your coat" Joe re- minded her.
 She grabbed a coat, a hat, a poe ketbook and gloves and slipped in- to Joe's car.
 "Where is he? ?" she asked.
 "At the hospital" Brief. un- sympathetic words
 "Is he hurt-badly?"
 Hell live. You certainly do know how to get upset"
 You forget that Jack happens to be my husband" Sue flung at her.
 "oh, no I haven't forgotten at all, A most amusing situation. isn't it?"
 "Amusing?" Sue looked inquir- ingly at the cynical face of the other girl. q don't understand"
 "Of course not, you wouldn't"
 Sue knew that Joe was talking against time, that she was trying to dig her barbs in deeply because she was jealous of Sue, of the fact that she was the one who had right to go to Jack But just the same why had she been with Jack? Why had she come recing for her instead of letting someone else do 1t? It would have been kinder. So much kinder.
 Joe answered that question.

If you pay enough attention 10 your hair, you will find that every one else will, too. But 1t takes times. And attention. And pa tience.
 First of all. shampoo your hair Use warm water and q shampoo that makes Il light, fluffy father. If you are using soap itself, never rub 1t into your hair oi on to your scalp. Make soapy suds and ap. ply them. Work the suds into your hair, and against your scalp, over and over again. Rinse in clear. lukewarm water. Gradually let the water grow colder, until an icy trickle wakens even the most dormant hair cell.
 Dry your hair by rubbing 1t in old mellowed bath towels that have lost their roughness but have retained enough weight to absorb water. If the sun is shining, and the day is warm, the odds are with you. Natural warmth is excellent for hair.
 Hair does not need to be sham poocd as often as most people think. Once every three or four weeks is quite enough unless you have some special hair or scalp
