Many Remark On
Success Of Home
Department Party

So many people admired the
lovely pink roses and coral vine
used in the decorations at the home
department anniversary party yes
terday at the California hotel that
it is interesting to note that they
come from the gardens of two home
department members.
The lovely roses were grown by
Mrs. R. B. Harmon and the coral
vine, by Mrs. J. S. Bridenstine.
Yesterday s celebration was a
huge success, marking as it did the
completion of 16 years of work.
In summing up activities of the
home department, Miss Harriet G..
Eddy, state leader of home demon
stration agent, pointed out that the
first Is years formed a growing
up period during which the group
went through the adolescent stage.
Home department work is now
in its adult stage and Miss Eddy
urged her listeners to carry out an
adult program featuring the last
ing things of life during the next
five years.

WASHINGTON. Oct. II. -- Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt looked back
today-her 5oth birthday anniver-
sary-and saw:
l. A younger generation more
responsible and more thoughtful
than her own.
,. A tremendous increase of in
terest III government, and a feel
ing of freedom and duty to discuss
governmental policies.
3. A growth in the sense of the
dignity of labor.
4. Acceptance of women S right
to lives of their own, and their
increased participation in public
affairs.
S. Development of the feeling
that everybody has right to cer-
tain elements of higher standard
Of living.
6. A smaller proportion of rich
women whose interests are 'pure-
ly social.'
The energetic First Lady paused
in her myriad of tasks in her sun
lit study on the second floor of
the White House and reminisced,
too, about the three periods through
which she has lived, rather inti-
mately: the Boer war, when she
was a student in England; the
World war. which she then thought
could not be surpassed. in her
lifetime, in interest and excite
meut; and the present period
which she finds the most stimulat-
ing and exciting Of all.
When I was young, all a won-
an had to do was to be charming,
run a house, and have a family

P|NCHOT REED.
FIGHT TESTS
NEW DEAL
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

In Pennsylvania tomorrow the
"new deal" clashes with the "old
deal" in a spectacular primary
election which every politician OF
both parties is watching with in
tense interest.
It Is unusual for a Democratic
administration to be more inter-
ested in the outcome Of a Repub-
lican senatorial primary than in
the fortunes of its own candi-
dates; yet it is true so far as the
Roosevelt administration is con-
cerned.
Chief interest lies in the bitter,
no-Quarter battle being waged be-
tween Senator David A. Reed and
Governor Clifford Pinchot for the
Republican senatorial nomination.
Senator Reed is conservative;
he has been and continues to be
a most consistent and persistent
critic of Roosevelt policies as they
have been expressed through the
new deal" Senator Reed is op-
posed to the NRA, the AAA, and
most of the other alphabetical
organizations which compose the
Roosevelt program.
On the other hand, Governor
Pinchot has campaigned virtually
on a Roosevelt platform. A Bull
MooSer under the first Roosevelt,
the lanky governor has endorsed
almost everything that the sec
ond Roosevelt has done in his
first year in the White House.
He has charged Senator Reed
with being IAN errand boy for
the Melons" and with being the
embodiment Of the political and
economic philosophy that pre-
vailed during Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover.
This has been the principal is
sue between Reed and Pinchot in
their knock-doWn battle for the
Republican Senatorial nomina-
tion-a nomination that used to
be the equivalent of election in
rock-ribbed Republican Pennsyl-
Vania.
It may not be this year, what
with the growth of the Democratic
party in the keystone State, and
the personal popularity of Mr..
Roosevelt. But the heat of the
Reed -Pinchot fight and the signifi-
canoe of the issue drawn between
them has made the primary more
interesting in the politicians eyes
than the actual result in Novem-
ber.

Patriotic designs are Of American origin,
Mr.. Parry explains. In the early days Of the
republic American sailors used them to express
their sentiments: they also felt that their
bodies, II they were drowned or killed In battle,
could be easily identified II they were dis
tinctively tattooed.
During the Civil War innumerable jack-tars
were tattooed with scenes showing the battle
Of the Monitor and the Merrimac. In the
9panish-American War pictures Of steam haE
tleships began to crowd out the traditional
sailing ships; the World War brought tattooed
representations Of airplanes. and also Z vast

American society women to be tattooed were

The circus is fertile neld for the tattooer.
In the ls7os r. T. Barnum exhibited one
George Constantine, whose skin was covered
with what Is stin considered the most elabo-
rate and extensive tattooing ever seen In either
Europe or America. It Is said that there. was
mot quarter inch Of his body free from de-
signs. Even his eyefids were tattooed, as vas
the skin between his fingers.
Constantine's great success as . side show
freak started something. Soon every circus
and carnival had its tattooed man or tattooed
woman. To-day. Mr.. Parry estimates, fully 500
men and women are making, or trying to make,
living By exhibiting their tattoocd bodies to
American audiences. Many are tattooed with
religious pictures.
