Inventors Bring
Santa's Toys to
Ne,U Perfection
Doll That Can Be Fed
Is One of Many
Advances.

BY the Associated Press.
Imagine Santa's glee when he vis-
tied the United States Patent ONCE
and found that there's such a toy as
doll that eats.
Or at least she can be fed.
She's only one in a long list OF
patented toys that come in handy
when Santa fills his bag. She's one
up on her sisters who can say Ma
ma" cry, breathe, shut their eyes,
walk or dance.
Ever alert to the fancy Of children.
Inventors are at work the year round,
perfecting toys.
The electrical toys-ask the store

gine, at a signal, leaves the station

water spouts. Then the ladders corae
down, the hose is pulled up and the
engine races home.

BROKEN PROMISES OF REPEAL

The foes of prohibition made three major pleas
for repeal-the first, to promote temperance; the
second, to save youth; the third to reduce taxes.

hamlet in the nation. This golden promise has
turned to dross. The courageous press is Mortified
at the sckening debauchery of youth, and even
childhood, since repeal young Girls and Boys IN

saturated children "necking" in public of shock
ing obscenity and debanchery, and of the tragic
consequences beyond belief, as school girls, their
inhibitions shattered and their emotions aroused
by drink, reel to ruin. So this second promise
has turned to bitterness and gall. As a bride to
American voters to vote for repeal congress wrote
into law provision that certain surtaxes should
be imperative if prohibition were repealed. This

GOVERNMENT As A COMPETITOR

1t is perhaps unfortunate that the issue touching
the right of the government to go into the manu-
featuring business should be raised in connection
with a worthy enterprise that is being fostered by
the wife of the president, but it is problem that
must be faced sooner or later and definite deci-
sion reached.
Adventures of this nature have become far too
common and the time is approaching when there
must be a definite and conclusive determination
upon the subject. .,
The plan that Mrs Roosevelt is sponsoring pro-
poses to provide work for worthy persons by manu-
featuring equipment for third-class post Offices and
the puzzlng phase is presented when the fact is
realized that while worthy persons will find en-
ployment in the new plant some equally worthy
persons will lose their places in the plants now pro-
ducing materials.
Thus the issue is presented, exactly as it must
be in all cases where the government ventures into
the production of things that private organizations
are producing.
Moreover, if the government is to produce GER
tain things and thereby force private producers
out of business, at what point shall the intrusion
into the field of production be brought to an end
Or, more significant still, the question arises,
"ShaH it end at aH?"
| The issue is of tremendous Importance because
| it not only is Intimately related to- the economic
well being, but bears directly upon fundamental
departures in the American theory of government

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE LIQUOR REFERENDUM

II has been announced that every county in the
state will be organized to put across the idea that
South Carolina must go into the legalzed sale Oh
rouor either by state-controled county-con-
trolled liquor stores.
That is sufficient notice, to the people who are
onuosed to legalized liquor selling IN this state
either by counties or the state as whole, to get
bnsv and see to it that only representatives, are
elected who will oppose in every way possible the
leoaIization of liquor selling in this state
We do not need legazed liquor in. South Caro-
lima There is nothing good that can be said about
# or for it. We have tried liquor control by the
d;spensarv system and every one who is old enough
n remember the "great moral institution" remem-
hers unite we'll that it was failure and stencil
in the nostrils. 1t bred bunch of grafters such
as this state never saw before nor since. 1t did
nothing to reduce the amount of liquor consumed
in the state and contributed very little to the reve-
nnes Of the commonwealth Certainly it did little
to reduce taxes, which was one of the features
claimed for it.
1t has been made quite plain that regardless Of
the result of the August primary referendum on
the LIQUOR question the legislature is not to be
bound by the referendum. This being true then
it is up to the voters to elect only such represen-
tatves as will look upon the results OF the refer
endum as mandate to guide them.
In the August primary election it will be up to
the women of the state to go to the polls and vote
against the return of legalized liquor in this state
They and their children are the ones who will pay
for the liquor in its final analys;.. They are the
ones who will suffer most by liquor selling. 1t is
to the women that opponents of legazed liquor
must look for the election of representatives who
will stand solidy against legalized liquor in South

GLAMOUR OF BANDITRY HIDES A
FUTILE LIFE
(By BRUCE CATTON)

The more one reads about the frantic
flight of DilIinger and his crew, the more
one discovers that this business of being a
notorious and badly wanted gunman can't
be great deal of fun.
On the surface, the life seems to have a
veneer of romance and excitement. IN
derneath it must be lot more trouble than
it is worth.
Read the stories told by those citizens
who have, against their own will, come
into contact with the hunted men for q
time. Unanimously, they testify to strained
nerves to eternal vigilance, to a tension
that can never be relaxed.
Every car that approaches may carry
the end of everything behind It's Wind
shield. Every sudden noise at night may
be the signal for the last spatter OF bullets.
Every stranger who comes near may be
YTemesis: every tiny accident may be the
break that will destroy the whole scheme.
And under all this there is nothing but
complete futility. ......- .,...
For by this time all plan and all reason
has left the fugitives' campaign. Original
" there was sort sort of pattern to this
life of sudden forays and mad, reckless
flights. 1t was way of life that might De
dangerous and desperate, but there was
more or less regular rhythm to it.
But not now. It has changed into all
aimless, helter-skelter chase that can nave
no end, a melodrama that cannot finally
resolve itself into peace and quiet, but that
must be carried on until some more accu-
rate burst of gunire finally brings down
the last curtain
All this is pretty obvious, to be sure.
But most of US have a sneaking and per-
verse imp of the imagination tucked away
somewhere that makes us see ourselves IN
an outlaws place; and from that human
failing there arises misplaced and mawk-
ish sympathy which, in the end, can be-
come source of refuge for the man who
has defed society.
That sympathy tends to persist as long
as we can see the outlaw as gay and
dashing fellow living bold and carefree
life.
But it dies out when we get look al
him as he really is-as a badly worried,
badly frightened, and eternally restless
fugitive, who resembles nothing so much
as hunted rat in barn full of fox ter
riers.

A FUNNY THING, LIFE

Bidwell, the secretary of a
benevolent order, was instructed
by his organization to take care
of the funeral arrangements of
the remains of q member of the
order who had died in destitu-
ton.
Going to the cemetery to look
things over, Bidwell, an observ-
ing person, noticed that two men
were digging away at an old
grave.
"What are you going to do?"
ipanired Bidwell."
n Going to take up this body
and ship it to Ohio" was the re-
|plE.
Bidwell being thrifty minded,
FASTENED to the office of the
cemetery association. bought the
secondhand grave, and saved his
organization the cost of digging
a new one.
Bidwell himself is occupying a
grave now. I wonder whether or
not the story of the incident for
which he was renowned has fol-
lowed him into the other world
and whether or not he has had
an opportunity to confer and to
compare notes with the other two
principals in the case.

reau has just been transferred from

back to the Interior Department.
Turner is an expert, unconnected

ton to get rid Of Turner and put

plenty of patronage pressure.

CRAVING FOR SUGAR

81 know Robbie needs what
sugar he gets, doctor. de just
Graves it. And the books on die
tetics say that certain amount
of sugar is necessary. I'm sure
he doesn't get any more than
most children do"
OF course Bobbie needs sugar.
And he gets it, too, in many OF
the foods he takes,-fruit sugars
in his fruits, granulated sugar in
every bit of pie, CAKE, jelly, jam,
or syrup he takes; to say nothing
of all the starches, that have to
be broken down into the simpler
sugars before they can be di-
gested and assimilated. In these
forms the average diet gives con-
siderably more sweets than the
body calls for in well-balanced
ration.
Oh, / know he Graves it. | have

used to crave to play in a canoe
before he had learned to swim.
| But | didn't think that because
he craved to do those things, he
needed to do them, or would be
safe in doing them.
A noted nutritionist has calcu-
lated that the average American
today eats (and drinksD about
Ill times as much sugar as did
his grandparents. So Bobbie
doesn't need that extra sugar,
even though he may crave it.
If you want him to eat well.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Rich
ardson: Ny little boy gets along
beautifully with me; but as soon
as his father comes home, he
losses his attractive side, and it
is all that I can do to manage
him. He kicks and fights, and
seems like a different child. Is
this his fathers fault, or mine?
ANSWER: L should much prefer
to find way out of this not at
all uncommon difficulty, than to
try to place the blame for it with
either Or both Of you. Strange
as it may seem, a child of five
can be jealous of his father, and
frequently is. The cure for this
is a better acquaintance between
the father and. his son. Time can
be found for this, if its impor-
lance is realized.
QUESTION: What can / do for
a boy who is constantly being
picked on" by his playmates?
We have tried to make him fight
rack: but he can't seem to use
his fists. Instead he lust cries
and runs to his elders for help
and protection.
ANSWER: This situation calls
Tor a lot Of patience and wisdom
