around the
National Capital

Neutrality-suspicious. McHenry Howe,
Franklin D. Roosevelt's right bower
for the last twenty-five years-since
Mr.. Roosevelt was in the New York
leglslature-is being forced to relin-
quish his Job as chief secretary to the
President at the insistence OF his ply
sicians. Howe must take long rest,
and not worry about the Chiefs"
problems.
Howe will be succeeded, Ii Mr.. Roose-
velt's persuasive ability is up to nor
NAL by Frank G. Walker, now execu-
tive secretary of the national emer-
gency council, and until few weeks
ago treasurer of the Democratic ma
tional committee.
Walker does not want the Job. He
has told the President so In emphatic
language. AS this is written he still
thinks he can avoid taking 1t. But
the President is determined, and close
friends of both are betting that Walk
er will be sitting at Howe's desk inside
OF week or two.
Notwithstanding Walker is over
persuaded-wlll mean a set-up about
which Washington politicians and OBJ
servers have often talked, but which
has never really materlallzed. For
Walker. once on that Job, will really
be Assistant President" Make no
mistake about that.
Sitting at Howe's desk. Walker will
talk to the President not only every
day. but many times day. He will
make decisions as chief secretary.
He Will exercise power direetly-not
merely through giving advice.
Actually he has been, close friends
insist, closer to the President than
anyone else outside the secretarlat for
long period OF time-dating back to
before the Chicago convention. He re-
NAMED In high favor while many 9TH

Simple Exercise for
Adding to Ones Height

Abraham Lincoln was 9 feet
inches tall; Washington was 9 feet,
.. There can be no doubt that large
men, physically, have great adyan-
tage over small men, other things be-
ing equal, says writer In the WASH
ington Star.
We knew man small physically,
but able Intellectually, who found his
lack of inches great disadvantage.
He went on a shoemaker's bench
when thirteen years old, which I'M
doubtedly stunted ibis physical
growth, and so way handicapped
all his life. He had q grandson who
as boy was understood and feared
he was TO be physically like his
grandfather. But that learned man
suggested to him that he get into the
habit of stretching out to his full
length whenever he went to bed. He
did that, and almost Immediately be-
gan to grow taller. In few years
he became stalwart, and is now about
6 feet tall. BY taking thought he
increased his size. beyond doubt.
One OF his p1aymates, who doomed

teens, Is now a short man.
We suggest this to all boys who
are backward In growth, as posi-
BILE way to grow tall, with all Its adj
vantages In later life.

angry detective whom he had given
the slip in the country.
The disappearance of the girl was
discovered when Kilday sent for her
In the hope that Daniel Bulls might
identify her as the woman In blue he

conscious of the blows which battered
at his face. The fellow must give In

much of their strength by the punish

struggle.
Somehow his hold had been broken.
For the first time feeling of hopeless
ness engulfed Peter. He was very
tired. How long they had struggled,
he did not know. He did know that 1t
could not last much longer. He was
almost at the end of his strength.
His opponent must be tired, too. With
the energy of despair he flung himself
into a renewed attack. His arms
seemed light, like cushions that he was

Protect Home Owner

Part OF the plan Is to have the pro-
gram or drive In each community d.
rected by local architects and engi-
neers. who will be paid for their eff
forts by the federal government One
of their functions will be to see to 1t
that the home owner gets the most
possible for his money and also that
the banks are not goaded into making
loans greater than the capacity Of the
borrower to pay.
The amount Of money that may be
expended In this direction Is prodi-
gious. Some estimates of the amount
OF needed home repair and moderniza-
ton run as high as billion and a
half. Advisers of the President work.
Ing on the plan think three-quarters of
a billion very reasonable amount to
be realized In actual operations.
This campaign. 1t Is thought, has
much more assurance Of success than
any of the depression efforts The
theory Is that people hesltated to make

Installment sales were astonlshingly

Cause of Friction

Cause of Friction
Incidentally there has been some
friction between the various govern
mental units. The AAA was very In
dignant that the Federal Alcohol Con-
troll administration let down the bars
to such an extent to molasses pro-
duced alcohol. the agricultural experts,
naturally, being far more interested In
seeing corn consumed for the making
OF alcohol than imported molasses-for
the domestic moasses is very small
part of the picture.
1t Is imported molasses that worries
the agricultural experts-the same old
fight involved when the Middle West
erners fought for prohibitive duty ON
"black strap" molasses.
But this corn processing tax would
not only catch imported" molasses, 1t
would catch molasses brought In from
Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Virgin Is
lands. The latter will probably hev-
err figure. because as the government is
setting up distillery there for the
purpose Of making rum, 1t IL figured
all the molasses there will be turned
into rum before entering American
ports.
Even this rum. however, Is annoy
Ing to the Middle Westerners. They
want all the liquor possible that Is
sold In this country made from Amer
lean grain. Every drop of imported
liquor destroys just that much market,
they point out, for the American farm
err. They would like to prohibit the
use of alcohol made from molasses for
blending and compromising.
Assessment OF the processing tax
Is a step In that direction, but 1t is not
the end of the fight Indeed 1t Is quite
probable that enough strength will be
attained by the grain state represent
atives to force more drastic legisla-
ton at the next session. Actually, to-
tai prohibition Of the use of molasses
distilled alcohol for blending liquor
would be only mild step beyond the
assessment OF processing tax. Dis
tillers using alcohol made from mo-
lasses instead OF grain do SO merely
because 1t is cheaper.
