NEWSPAPERS. OPINIONS
THE POTATO AND THE oBLIGING ATTORNEY

A South Carolina magistrate recently asked the
state attorney generals office for a ruling on
whether the sweet potato grain a vegeta-
ble An assistant to the attorney general, with the
wisdom of Solmon, referred the inquirer to Web
ster's dictionary and quoted this paragraph: "The
edible starchy subterranean tuber of American
Solanaceous plant (Salonum tuberosum) forming 4
staple article of diet in most temperate regions.
Potatoes are developed as engagements of under
ground rhizomes.'
Well that ought to hold the magistrate for a
while. 1t may not give him the exact information
he desired, but it may be worth something to him
to learn that the potato is the edible subterranean
tuber of an American soanaceous plant (Solanma
tuberosum) developed as an enlargement of under
ground rhizomes'
That will be as clear as mud to the magistrate
as soon he learns that the word tuber has moth
ing to do with the big horn in d dance orchestra
and that rhzone is "any underground roOtlike
stem, usually of dOrsiventral structure, which, i'll
turn is structure of "dorsal and ventral sur
faces" Looking further in the dictionary he will
be delighted to learn that soanaceOus plants be-
long to the order Polemoniales
But why should any South Carolina magistrate
permit the sweet potato to be of his problems?
Why confuse it with grains? To him sweet po-
tatO should always be a sweet potato-One of the
best things God has given to manhood for the
infant, the school boy, the middle-aged and him
who has passed his three years and ten. Wha5
more could it be? What more should it be? What
in the heck was the matter with the magistrate?
What more could he or any other South Carolinian
want to know about the sweet potato ?-Spartan-
burg Herald

BETTER THAN THIS

The professors in Washington are not very
friendly to what is sneeringly called capitalism and
they would be nightly pleased to junk it.
The anithesis of capitalism is probably social
ism. or some variation of that philosophy, and So
cialism proposes to tear down from the top rather
than build up from the bottom.
That is neither defensble in economics nor in
morals
God had little something to say about this
matter Himself.
To him that hath, is His rule, shall be given,
and from him that hath not shall be taken away
whatever he may have gotten by hook or crook.
Which would indicate that the divine plan starts
at the assumption that should put himself out
instead of sitting idly around and wait for society
to come along and dump the goods of others into
his lap-Charlotte Observer.

THE WORLD DO MOVE

Less than half century ago the greatest travel
achievement was Nellie Bly's trip around the, world
in ~ days. Now round the-wOrld trip in 80 days
of actual travelling or 81 days with stopOver priv
leges is a regularly scheduled tour. The start is at
Seattle then down the coast to San Francisco and
Los Angeles then east across country by airpIane
via Dallas, Atlanta. Miami, Hayti, Porto Rice,
Trinidad and on south to PernambucO, Brazil.
There passengers transfer to the Graf Zeppelin and
are transported across the Atlantic to Seville,
Spain From that point the tour continues by air
plane via Marseilles Naples, Athens, Bagdad, Cal
cutta and Saigon. At Saigon steamer connect

CENSORSHIP NOT NEEDED

threat to the freedom guaranteed by the cOnsti-

Gently come to the attention of publishers in the
action of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the
department of agriculture in censorng the adver-

In presenting its wares the Jones company USED
in its advertising little jingle that reads:
Most little pigs
Go to market
And the best little pigs
Go to Jones.
The Bureau of Animal Industry ruled that tins
advertising was untruthful and misleading IN that
all the "best little pigs" do not go to Jones' AS a
result of this ruling Jones discontinued the adver-

WASHINGTON. - Roosevelt will
w support Senator Hiram John

The senator is a Republican pro-

campaign.
He returned here a few days
. ago announcing his support of tho
Roosevelt policies and raising the
alternative Of Roosevelt or hell
Then he went to pay his respects
to the White House.
Now the dope is that the prcSi-
dent will call on California Demo-
Gratis to set behind and not to OPP
pose Johnson.
Tho Hoover faction controls
G.. q. Z. machinery in California
and has been anxious TO beat
Johnson when he comes up for re-
nomination.
Rooscvelts action might mean
a formal effort to take over the
progressive wing of the Republic

ports the New Deal. and thus
begin the lOng-awaited rcalign-
mcnt Of parties on the basis of

Senators, Cutting OF New Mo-

year, facing severe primary
fight and the fact that their states
have gone heavily Democratic.

Your Chair

GOuE NU@H
This is your chair, wherein I
sit tonight
BY mellow lamplight, in my
quiet room,
BY lamps so shaded that their
lessened light
Falls softly as whisper
through the gloom.
Your chair I treasure much
for your loved sake
And many nights when I sit
dreaming here
Some sixth sense quickening,
suddenly awake
To your sweet presence, tells
me you are near.
Think not I could forget your
Silvery voice,
Your April moods Of reverie or
mirth;
o, little friend, each day I still
rejoice
At all the beauty that you lent
to earth!
But when about me these deep
cushions press,
I feel your hand. I hear your

Advice
To
LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
She Made Him Reform

Dear Miss Fairfax:
An old Schoolmate who had
been a nice boy got in with the
wrong crowd and did things
which landed him in the Re
form School. He was released
on account Of good conduct and
his family'S influence.
He began to drink heavily.
His mother begged me to help
him, as a good many of his
old friends would have nothing
to do with him. I treated him
just as if nothing had hap
pened, and he braced up and
reformed. He is 10 and I am
IT.
But he becomes violent and
jealous if he hears of my 60
ing out with any other boy,
and my parents would never
consent to my marrying him,
even if I loved him, which, in
deed, I do not. Nor do I think
I ever could. Besides, I am too
young to think of marriage for
a long time yet.
1 only wanted to help an old
Schoolmate out Of a hole, and
it seems to have made a lot Of
trouble for me. The boys
mother begs me not to. drop
him. What do YOU think I'd
better do? DOROTHY.
That's a hard one you've put
up to me, my dear, because you
cannot give encouragement to
a boy you don't love, especially
one who has had this boys un-
fortunate experience. And as
you say, II is too young to
think of marriage.
If this boy would only be
reasonable and agree to accept
you as a friend, it would be
an excellent arrangement. Why
not tell him it must be that plan
or nothing at all, and stick to
that platform?
You were fine and courageous
enough to be friendly when the
others turned him down. Nat
urally, he fell in love with you,
but you can't have him in that
capacity.
Perhaps you could persuade
him to take some vocational
training that would fit him for
a good job, and provide a solu-
ton of the other complications.
The Washington times., 1934-01-09

he seems bent on doing those
things that he knows will an
noy her.
Mothers Plant
Many Of my readers have
written me:
my child used to be so good.
But of late he seems possessed.
He pays absolutely no attention
to me-"
When we consider how amaz-
ingly active most youngsters
are it is not surprising that
they grow tired at the end Of a
long, unbroken day of play. II
we spent as much time bounc.
ing about as they do we would
be on the verge of collapse.
The nap period may be be-
fore or after the midday meal.
Two Factors
Two important factors, in ar
ranging the hour, should be con-
sidered. First, that the nap
should not prevent the child
from getting his out-of-doors
play during the sunny part OF
the day, especially in winter,
and. second, that he should not
sleep so late in the afternoon
that he will be unwilling to go
to bed at his customary bed
time.
It may be necessary to vary
the hour to suit the seasons. A
child who awakens early in the
morning is usually ready for
his nap by II or IL o'clock.
In the winter time, however,
this is the best possible time for
him to be out of doors, and it
may be wise to postpone the
nap.
The nap should be taken
with absolute regularity. Until
he is four or five years old he
should be entirely undresSed,
clothes, shoes and stockings.
Regularity
With the older child you may
find it sufficient to merely re-
move his outer clothing and
put a dressing gown or wrap
per over the underclothing.
He should take his nap in his
own bed, not on a couch in the
living room, rocking chair or
hammock. He should be left
alone with the door closed and
windows open.
If he refuses to go to sleep
insist that he lay quietly in
bed. If he keeps. calling don't
answer and if he pops out of
bed put him gently but firmly
back. Even if he has not been
taking maps he will, in time,
grow accustomed to the new
routine.
It is unwise to let a child
over three sleep for more than
two hours in the daytime un-
less he is underweight. Wake
him at the end of the allotted
nap time so that his nights
sleep will not be spoiled and so
that he will not lose his out
door playtime.
