That little by-play tells in min
iature the whole democratic, kind
" story of the most extraordinary
woman America has ever seen in
public life.

cording to the formula that some
stickler for what is correct has
worked out She accompliSheS
more in one day than most wom-
en- get done in week, and yet she
never shows a trace Of hurry or
furry.
She cares passionately for many
causes-better children, more edu-
cation, better homes, women's
progreSs-and has never felt that
being in the White House should
restrict her activities in their be-
half.
She had come all the way from
Washington to speak at the wom-
ems exposition because she APP
proves heartily of what it has
done in the thirteen years it has
been held, to raise the prestige Of
women in the business world.

uraIized American, born and reared
in Carniola, a Croatian province OF
Yugoslavia.
Mr.. Adamic, who returned to the
Balkans for a survey of his native
land in 1882 entertains no high view
of the erstwhile iron-handed ruler
of the kingdom of the Serbs, the
Croats and the Slovenes, but in his
book pays high tribute to the kings
personal bravery, stamina and mill
tary ability.
The murdered king, says Mr..
Adamic, was extremely superstitious
and in constant fear of aSsaSsina-
ton. Every few months he would
fly into a panic, distrust every one,
and sleep in different room or a
different palace each night.
Feared Assassination
The author continues, "He knows
his fear of assassination is discussed
everywhere; so every once in a
while, to show he is not afraid, he
suddenly appears on the main thor
oughfare of Belgrade, pale and rigid,
accompanied only by one of his adj
jutants, apparently unguarded; but
it is generally known that for hours
before hundreds of secret service
agents, in various DISCUSSES, are scat
tered up and down the avenue"
Mr.. Adamic describes Alexander
as crafty schemer. He quotes a
former minister in the Yugoslavian
government as saying of his king,
HE is a stranger to real wisdom,
but possesses a profound cunning"
Alexander, it is pointed out, was
educated in st. Petersburg under
the benevolent eye of the all-pow-
erful Romanoff regime. This early

What's the Purpose?

WHd,AT they do with all the autographs which
w they collect is beyond imagining.
Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth have signed their
names hundred thousand times. 1t weareS them.
They can not pause in any public place without be-
ing Interrupted which becomes an annoyance after
while and the physical strain of signing over and
over is considerable. One night in Memphis, when
Guy Lombardo had been imported at great expense
to discourse music for large public dance, there
very little dancing because there almost
music because Mr.. Lombardo was kept busy signing
his autograph for people who loved to dance to his
music.

The answer to all of these, it
seems, it no. Mrs. Roosevelt has
no set formula for anything; she

best advantage; she eats what
she likes. though she is not in

and she doesn't take regular exer-
else because she moves about so
actively that she feels she doesn't
need it.
She sees one great change in
the position of women in the last
ten years-they are being taken
more for granted. And that she
feels is all to the good.
Her theory is that the less pub

do something worth while, the
faster they will get ahead.

Roosevelt protested, "but if 1

what women may expect in the
next ten years, / should say that
they would go on being taken
more and more for granted -
that is, being less and less dis
eliminated against and less and
less made the object of special
privileges and concessions"

chores at one time without
neglecting any. During one inter-
view that I had with her in her
own room at the White House,
she had her hair waved, was
manicured, greeted a newly
arrived guest, talked over the
telephone, dictated two invitations
and gave some orders for dinner,
And never once did she lose the
thread of what she was saying
to me.
Being SO won't change Eleanor

who have felt her magnetic,

intelligent help she has given to
dozens of vital human projects,
are heartily glad Of it.

The real inside is that beyond
the general idea of truce, the
President had no definite plan as
to how it would be put into eff
feet.
He hopes to work out these de-
tails in conferences he is now
holding with industrial and labor
leaders. If a satisfactory formula
can be devised, he will then con-
vene a formal assembly of the
two groups.
TINE background of the origin
Il of the plan is intriguing.
1t was conceived in the fertile
mind of Donald R. Richberg, the
Presidents new chief of staff on
economic problems.
The object is to head off labor
uprisings now threatening in
three major industries-Steel,
automobiles, and rubber. In each
of these, militant rank-and-file
labor elements are getting ready
to present demands as soon as
the expected seasonal upSwing ma
terializeS.
While these demands will in
clude wage increases and hour re-
auctions, the real issue will be the
question of union recognition.
In projecting the truce scheme
it was Richberg's thought that the
trouble breeding recognition issue
could be sidetracked for the VIM
ter.
1t is his theory that once this is
out Of the way, employers and
workers in these three industries
will have little difficulty in get
ting together on wages and hours.

of a success as a clipper. But he
did assemble quite a pile of news
paper poems. Collecting rhymes

hobby.
His next role in the capital will
be that of United States senator.

VICTORY FOR SILVER
 LEGISLATION CONCEDED

Of cheering moment to silvec supporters was the radio an ncuncement early this week that the Wall Street Journal, which reflects more than any other publication the views and attitude of those interests most opp 2sed to silver, and also the New York Times, have con- ceded victory for pending sil- yer legislation.
 Just how far the statement was intended to go is not clear. It may have been designed to apply only to the Dies bill, passed recently in the house by a large majority, and also ap. proved by the senate agricult- ure committee. But if broader application was intended it could embrace several other proposals involving complete or partial remonetization of cilver by various methods, none of which have been acted up- on by either house or senate
 Whatever the situation, the concession, coming from such c2urces, can be taken to mean that silver now enjoys a fir stronger position than at any time since characterization oc- cured.
 Any time the Wall Street Journal comedies anything to silver it is a definite assurance that the outlook for the white metal is exceptionally promis- ing.

 The article characterizes MT. Green as "conspicuously the outstanding member of the House from the First Divis- ion" and declares that "anoth- CT year of legislative work should see him heading the list of able men,"
 Joe Baronovich of Ketchi- kan, who is again a candidate for legislative honors, is also given a splendid tribute of well-deserved praise.
