Democratic leaders all wore
enigmatic smiles and spoke
vaguely of certain victory"
They had secured the country
side around Indianapolis, visiting
pool rooms, slum sections where
the idle and unemployed loaf, and
farms where extra hired men
might be spared for the day.
They gathered a mob of men,
promised them enough liquor and
money to keep them satisfied and
loaded them on a special train.
They brought the train into the
outskirts of indianapolis and
switched it on a siding. Railroad
officials conveniently shut their
eyes and commanded their 'em-
ployes to forget about the special
train.
The Democrats were employing
customary trick-bringing float
ers" from out of town to flood
the polls in wards where a hot
and lively fight was expected.
The f1oaters were having the
time of their lives. While they
waited for election day they drank
whisky, played poker, and had
their meals served to them. 1t was
a luxury that tramps dream
about when they have had several
nips too many.
MEANWHILE stealthy figures
1VI had stolen out to the siding
in the dead of night. They
watched the lights and listened to
the roars of laughter and snatcheS
of song. Then they whispered to-
gether. The railroad Waterman
walked around on the other side
of the car, so as not to notice
these strange visitors.
The slick SIX had discovered
the train and were preparing to
strike blow unrivaled for daring
and ingenuity.

Now beyond the North Star and low upon the
northern horizon five fairly bright stars forming
letter W. You may not recognize the wv at
once for it is tipped its side. They form the
constellation of Cassiopeia.
To the east Of Cassiopeis and also low on the
northern horizon are five stars. They form the con-
stellston of Cepheus
Return now to the Big Dipper Midway between
the pointers and the North Star you will find faint

with the Big Dpper then curves around the bowl Of
the Little Dipper, then curves back in the other
direction. The line ends with a little bunch of five

1t requires no complicated chart

he slaves, is capable of juggling
all these balls in the air at one
time.

IN markable success so far. He
has taken in his stride almost
every emergency that has come

now finds himself the center of
large and ungainly machine sur
rounded by the tangled skeins of
newly created agencies. In such
a picture he can take care only
of the emergencies. The details

And upon how rapidly Roosevelt

skeins and roll them up into one
ball depends the success of the re-
mainder of the administration.

Therefore. soon as you notice that your child
has crossed eyes, YOU should consult specialist in

thorough examination to evaluate the case and de-

Most persons have some minor muscle out of bal

the weak and cause the eye to turn outward.
MYTH both eyes open, the brain behind the
w muscle can exert enough extra effort to keep
the eyes lined up. When one eye turns out of line

In most cases of crossed eyes. however the per-
son concerned does not see double for the simple
reason that he uses only one eye at a time.
The same thing happens with persons in whom
one eye may be far sighted and the other near
sighted In such unless the eyes are balanced
properly with glasses, the person concerned uses
only one eye at time.
If there is any tendency here toward lack of bal
ance OF the muscles, the good eye is used and the
weak one turns.
While you can get along using only one eye at a
time you should realize that really good vision de-

COMETIMES good results are had merely by pre-

These measures and the ideas
behind them are, however, tech

wouldn't we like to know"
came the retort from the man
pacing the floor.
The secret six" was a particu-
larly astute group of Republican
politicians, a group which held
the top cards with a f1ippant and
confident regularity in Indianap-
oils. They knew the answer to
every political trick invented and
themselves had originated some
new ones.
In those days there was a Bit
ter race between the Republicans
and Democrats to see how many
illegal voters each party could
corral to the polls. Cheating at
the polls was considered not only
matter of course, but very smart
tactics. The motto of politics
was win at any cost" and even
the respectable citizens looked
upon it with a sort of amused de-
tachment.
1t was like watching a magician
pulling rabbits out of his hat.
Every one knew that they were
being hoodwinked by the poll
ticians, but it was excellent enter
tainment. The politicians were
overgrown boys cudgeling their
brains for d-humored practical
jokes.
Perhaps it wasn't as sweet and
simple as all that, but the years
have cast a mellow glow of remi-
niscence upon these exciting trick
plays of politics a decade ago.

or Father Coughlin. I believe you
will agree that your readers are
entitled to a correction.
ut is my opinion that neither
Father Coughlin nor the COM
nittee for the Nation are in agree
ment with some of the other
monetary and economic views
mentioned in your article in yes
terdays New York Herald
Tribune"
At the headquarters of the
committee for the Nation it was
explained that, while the organ
ization as such had taken no part
in organizing the meeting its in
dividual members might have done
so because of ther interest in
Father Coughlin's crusade for the

1t is clear enough how DR.. Writ
got into this pitiable predicament.
He is the victim of a human
failing to which all of us are sub
ject, the tendency to manipulate a
story in order to make it impress
Sive.
In his original statement. which
started the whole uproar, DR.. Writ
conveyed the impression that he
had talked with the Presidents
advisers; that they had told him
that they had Mr.. Roosevelt in
their grip, and that they would
use him until they we're ready
to supplant him with Stain
1t now appears that DR.. Writ
did not talk with any one who
by any stretch of the magma
ton belongs to the Presidents ad-
visers on any important point of
policy, and that the remark about
Stain was made, if it was made
at all. by a newspaper man who
has no connection whatever with
the administration, and assented
to, If it was aSsented to, by two
women who have as much to do
with the formulation of admins
tration policies as the janitors
and elevator boys in the building
where they work.
Now. if in his original state
ment DR.. Writ had told the truth,
if he had said what he said on
the witness stand, nobody would
have paid the slightest attention.
There would have been no SEN
Sation. There would have been
no investigation. There would
have been no need for DR.. Writ
to violate the laws of hospitality
and of friendship.
MOST or us can say in all hon.

the grace of God. go L for where

the woman. who has not made a
story better by improving it? The
where celebrities are involved.
Some one goes to Washington.
He sees the President for perhaps
ten minutes.
A week later his account of
what happened at the interview
includes everything that he heard
in the hotel lobby and in the
smoking car coming and going.
1t is evident that it was this
very human impulse which moved
DR.. Writ. He had come to GER
tain conclusions about the drift
of administration policy conclu-
sions which he is entitled to have
and that are debatable.
Undoubtedly he believed that
there is a brain trust and that
he understood its purpose. Hav-
ing met few people who had
met some of the brain trust, he
gradually came to believe that he
had met the brain trust.
Having heard remarks that
seemed to him to confirm his sus-
picions of conspiracy, he came
to believe that he had heard
those remarks from the conSpira-
tors themselves.
Among some who have known
from the first that DR.. Wirt's story
was a palpable absurdity there is
a disposition to make sophisti-
