SUGGESTS ROBINSON
CAMPAIGN PROGRAM
" r. P. Cunningham.

by H. +. cunningham
Governor Paul McNutt could
greatly fatten his parole and pardon
averages, and at the same time pull
a piece of high-class political STRAIT
egg, if he would pardon Stephenson,
the grand old man." on condition
that he would spend all his time be-
tween now and the next election
working and speaking for the re-
election of Senator Robinson.
The senator and the grand old
man." said to be brothers, you know,
in the Mystic Knights of the Sea-"
and the combination, Stephenson,
plugging for his brothers re-elec-
ton, would look good on paper and
would be elegant theater for all
concerned.
By this act of clemency Governor
McNutt would show a nonpartisan
spirit that would appeal to all good
sports.

offices to get the boys together,

AFTER ALL, WHAT SIN

By Merely Intelligent.

BY Merely Intelligent.
This is the season when the an
nual wall goes up about nudists.
Just why there should be OBJ
lection to shedding of clothes by
those who wish to do so, is lost in
the obscurity of those minds with
the you can't" complex-the same
minds that want to Danish liquor,
tobacco, shows and everything else
that quite few persons, including
many of the most intelligent, en-
joy.
1t is rather amusing that reli-
gionists oppose the nudists. The
religionists mouth the morsel that.
man was created in the image of
God. If man is of such origin,
what's wrong with his body, naked
or clothed?

DIRECTS ATTENTION
TO UNION LABEL
BY John F. Kiefer.

BY John F. Kiefer.
Organized printers of New York
were given a surprise when Mayor
Fiorella La GGardia declared over
the radio and in print that all city
printing must be produced in New
York, and must bear the union
label.
This order was given to prevent
printers in New York from farming
out" contracts to out-of town shops
where less than the prevailing rate
of union wages are paid.
Now is the time for our mayor,
Reginald H. Sullivan, and candi-
dates seeking to be mayor, to make
their intentions known publicly.
The union label on all work is a
sure way of knowing where the
work was done, and that the work.
men were paid decent, living
wage.

THE LEGION
By LAWRENCE E. SCOTT

BY LAWRENCE E. SCOTT
o men of arms,
List to our call.
We also gave
And suffered all.
Mothers, daughters,
Sweethearts,
Fathers, sons and wives
OF those who valiantly
gave their lives.
Or else returned
Crippled, shocked
by shells,
Mere shadows of their
former selves.
Our cry is weak,
Shall go unheard,
Be yours to help us
spread the word.
Of peace,
You who've faced death,
Fought side by side,
And prayed while wounded
comrades died,
Discard the sword
Ere this day cease,
Take up the hobler cause
Of peace.
Heroes you are
Without a doubt,
But doubly so
If you'll but rout
All thoughts of war
And battles CORY,
Make way for peace j
And greater gloryl 4E1

 At last tho whole merry party was assembled and the young men having arrived with their friend, Charles Dickens was introduced. after looking at and through every one present, his eyhs finally rested on Maria, tho dainty fiowerlike lite tlo Miss, with n pro.uslon of curls and m adorable figure, drcsscd in n charming gown of raspberry silk that frankly revealed hor dainty shoulders and beautiful arms; arms that were displayed Co advantage when presently shc sat down to her harp and played q SC. lection from "Norma :" Later sho sang the new BonEs, Meet Mo By Moonlight Alono," Alice 0ray', and "Sho Wore R Wreath of Roses" n a sweet rich voice that was dos. tinod to finger in the young visi. tors memory.

The Romantic and Beautiful Love Letters of Charles Dickens to Mario BeadneN Two Anasing in His Life

THE ROMANCE OF CHARLES
 DICKENS AND MARIA BEAD.
 NELL WINTER
 (fssO.isss and isBB.fSe2) 1,
 On an April evening in . spe. cious old house at Number 2 Lom- bard Street, London, three lovely slsterB were dresslng to receive three young men at an evening party. Margaret Beadnell, tho cld- est, expecting David Lloyd, whom Bho was soon to wed; Anne Bend- nell, looking forward to seeing her sweetheart Henry Kclle, to whom Bho would probably soon become bcthrothed, and Maria Bcndncll, tho youngest, nineteen--pretty-- vivncious, very popular, possessing many suitorB, was anticipating with Bome curiosity q first meeting with the youthful Charles Dickens whom Lloyd and Kollo were bring Ing to call.
 Lloyd and Kolio had already sung his praises. had told them he was Q young reporter at the House of Commons where he "took down" in shorthand tho long p0n. dorous speeches for ono of the London newspapers. That hc knew his way about London very thor ouEhly, and tho two young mon had hinted mysterlously of various lively excursionB they had enjoyed under his dircction--to Vnuxhall and Rosherviile Gardens, Whito Conduit House and similar gay re- sorts, RB well nB to tho moro riot- ous "Cydcr Ccllars', and "Freo and Easios," of the Public Houses about town,
 A Handsome Young Man

 While tho Beadnoil girls waited In tho drawing room other people arrived for this was q party given to n circle of friends.

case of love at first sight for him; his nrdor swept tho young beauty quito off hor feet and before the evening passed, they had arrived at . very satisfactory understanding.
 Maria's Parents object
 But as the love affair progressed the unromnntic parents were be- coming more and moro convinced that young Dickens, with only tho slender prospects of q parliament tnry reporter, was not exactly tho right consort for their attractive young daughter. There were well founded rumors that his family was very poor thnt hls fathor had been imprisoned for debt, and that he himself had been . rather neg lccted little boy.
 The Younger Set In the t63O's
 What was the "youngcr set" liko In tho i830's? George Crulkshank's sketches show that the "tiapper" of that period wore hor skirts very full and long, but as DuMaurier makes ono of his characters In n Punch cartoon sny to lovely guest who is on the point of lcav. Ing, "Ah whom you come to see uS your stays are 30 Bhort!" So tho stays and tho bodicos of the gowns Of 1880 loft little to the imagina- ton. Kissing, embracing and such liberties were tho rulo In the up. DOT middle c.nss, while moderate drinking was n universal custom Young Dickens was rather adept at all those diversions.
 An AmorOus Age
 It was m amorous, sentimental nge with none of our realistic mod orn pens to describe it. The novels of that period arc in some respects far removed from actual social conditions but tho affaireS dc occur of tho young folks of 1880 worried their parents fully as much as they do in i034. And NO 1t happened that MT and Mrs Beadnoll began to look somewhat askance at his 1u. dacious young lover with his heart on his sleeve. However, for the timo heinz, ho and Maria were per mittod to 70 on pretty much as they pleased,
 Aftor some twelve months had passed MT and Mrs Beadnell be. came convinced that tho conditions existing between Charles and Marin were not altogether pla-
