TIPS FOR THE LADIES

ITO OA ILL LIADlI1C
Nurse Aadelei inc de Foras says she
has seen q number of cracked floor
coverings in her house to house trav-
els and suggests that the linol cum oe
we'll warmed before it is unrolled.
This will soften it SO that it will
lay flat without cracking. Papers,
any old kind as long as they don't
/ overlap in ridges, will add to the
wearing quality and act as insula
ton if placed under the linoloum.
ind hors's another thing, ladies',
that might ou worry important some
timo. Have your husband put up a
sign wi tn your na1o and tract number
where the road turns off into your
house.. The other evening Dr.. Al
brocht won't out on an emergency call
and lost valuable time trying to To-
cato the tract.
If your house paint is on the job
use it; if not use blue pencil un-
til the paint co:nos, but be sure and
get some kind of q sign up at once.

HOOVER ATTACKED
IN FARLEY SPEECH
Constitution Issue Called
"Cheap Demagogy" to
Defend Privilege.
By the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October S.
Postmaster General James A. Farley
charged today that the Republicans
Constitution issue was cheap
demagogy" long used in defense Of
special privileges.
The Democratic national chairman,
in a speech before the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs of Kentucky, aimed his
attack at former President Herbert
Hoover. whom he called the leader
and spokesman of the opposition"
Farley said of Mr.. Hoover, he
takes his place at the head of the pro-
cession prating the old hackneyed
phrases that tortured our ears during
The four Hoover years of inertia and
human misery.
He personifies the Old Deal; and
the people will take their choice"
Supports Chandler.
Before paying a glowing tribute to
President Roosevelt for an admins
tration Of action, Farley gave a ver-
bal boost to Lieut. Gov. A. B. Chan
dler. jr., recently nominated as Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor.
Farley called Chandler a splendid
young Democrat" and said a Demo-
cratic victory in Kentucky was assured.
To critics claims that the admin
istration had abandoned Jefferson
ian Democracy" Farley's answer was:
We propose to save the Democracy
of which Jefferson was the philoso-
pher.
The cause that Jefferson thought
for is today being fought for by that
gallant leader who thinks as Jefferson
thought and fights as Jackson fought. "
Farley declared the claim that
President Roosevelt program en-
dangers the Constitution arose from
1.-THE financial power"
"a little while ago President Roose-
welt asked if the American people
cannot under the Constitution
give to the Nation a program of social
and industrial regulation, he said.
Instantly the financial power was
on its toes shouting for the Constitu-
ton. Forgetting that the fathers OF
the Constitution wisely provided fol-
its amendment. they stopped to the
cheap demagogy Of pretending that tc
suggest an amendment is to attack the
fundamental law"
Jefferson Attitude Cited.
Far from opposing amendments,
Farley told his audience, Jefferson
forced the adoption Of 10-the bill of
rights.
From the days of Thomas Jeffer-
son to the days Of Franklin D. Roose-
velt," Farley said, there has not been
battle waged against privilege, and
for the rights of the common man,
that the special pleaders of the
privileged class have not raised their
hands piously and rolled their eyes
In pretended anguish over the mangled
form of the Constitution.
Jefferson, he added, shocked the
Bourbons of his day" by asserting that
while legitimate property rights must
be respected. human rights come
first"

MATHER YIELDS
ON TEACHER OATH
Would Comply With Law to Save
Harvard Legal Battle, Says
Professor.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October S.
An outspoken opponent Of Massachu-
sets new teachers oath law, DR.. Kirt-
ley F. Mather, professor Of geology at
Harvard University. says he is ready
to take the oath If he must do so to
keep Harvard out Of legal battle.
DR.. Mather's tentative agreement to
swear allegiance to the Federal and
State Constitutions as required by the
law enacted last Summer was made in
a statement several hours after Presi-
dent James B. Conant Of Harvard said
all faculty members must subscribe to
the oath.
IF it is indeed true that the act
makes it mandatory for the educa-
tional institutions to enforce the meas
ure, shall, of course, comply with
the law because I do not wish to in
volve Harvard University in a legal
battle" DR.. Mather said
II had supposed that enforcement o,
the measure, so far as it applies to
teachers in service on October /, would
rest solely in the hands Of the State, -
he said.
In that case my refusal to take
the oath would be a personal issue
between me and State officials. I
would be glad to carry that issue to
the courts.
MY future course Of action depends
therefore on the decision as to whether
or not the university is charged with
the responsibility Of enforcing this
particular statute"
DR.. Mather, captain of Engineers
during the World War, said he per-
sonally would not object to legislation
which would require an oath of al
legiance to the Constitution from
every citizen, preachers, bank cashiers,
nursemaids, street car conductors and
all-but when this splendid group Of
patriotic teachers is singled out for
treatment as suspicious persons I

said today
During that time the police and

by telephone and letter from the home
of Cummings, president of the Drov-

Capt. Prendergast said the extor-
tionists last night agreed to accept

Cummings home to collect the money
Cummings told the authorities he
had received several unsigned notes,
reading, I'VE have been thinking
about kidnapping you for a long time
Pay us $4,000 and you'll be in no
danger. If you don't you'll be in

Four similar notes were received
by Cummings and Mccormick, who is
chairman of the board of the Inter-

emily were the work of a poorly edu-
Gated person, Capt. Prendergast said.
The police also investigated the pos

Company Steps Aside to A.

Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Carter Coal Co. Of West Vir-
ginia stepped aside today to let its
president, James w. Carter, and the
Government fight out the constitu-
tionality of the Guffey coal control
act In District Supreme Court.
Answering Carriers petition for q
permanent injunction to prevent the
company from abiding by the Little
N. r. A." of the coal industry and
to prevent the Government from COL
lecting gross receipts taxes. the COM
pany asked only that the court make
an immediate ruling"
The company admitted all facts
alleged in Carriers petition and said
nothing about legal questions involved
The company said it intends to
comply with the act, since noncom-
pliance would force it to pay a Is per
cent tax on its gross receipts, which
would result in irreparable and seri-
GUS damage to the company, and
might result in bankruptcy"
However, the company asked If it
Is enjoined from complying with the
little N. r. A." the Government shall
also be enjoined from collecting the
tax.
Carter, In his request for an in
junction, had contended the Guf1ey
act attempted to control interstate
commerce and therefore was uncon-
stitutional.

evidence was accumulated to keer
them there. This evidence was lack

group has kept watch on known radi-
calls and their many guests.
Once when the Communists were

about 30 miles from here, their camp
was mysteriously destroyed by fire
one night. Every hut and tent was

Electorally the Communists amount
to little. They have recognized that

The Communists are overrating
