ROOSEVELTS WORK is

BY c. H. G.
Throwing aside party pride and
prejudice, 1 am casting my ballot
for man who has acted in every
emergency, demonstrated his every
ability, and given his loyal support
to every worthwhile humanitarian
effort. His opponents have nothing
to offer. On questions of vital DO
litical significance, their answers
are vague, evasive, vacillating, in
decisive. They are like men on a
rudderless ship. They are grasping
everything in sight for a rudder,
but using smokestack mostly,
where nothing but hot air is
emanating
No party plea can pull me. I am
voting for the nlan-Franklin D.
Roosevelt. And I sincerely believe
when he steps down from his presi-
dental chair, after 8 years of doing
his best, he will say, My friends, !

NOMINATES AIR COMMENTATOR
FOR PRESIDENCY
z. L. Morgan. BLOOMINGTON

BY 4. L. Morgan. Bloomington
Since the season is now open and
it is lawful to commence looking
around for presidential possibilities
and campaign issues and slogans,
why not turn our attention to the
old Quaker State of Pennsylvania
and give serious consideration to
that intellectual wizard and Roman
of them all, Boake Carter, whose
charming and commanding voice
comes to us every evening over the
air commenting on the news Of the
day?
I do not know what this mans
religion is, or what his politics are,
or whether he is wet or dry (and
care little). But, after listening for
more than a year to his musical flow
of rhetoric and rapid machine-gun
fire of wit, sarcasm, logic, common
sense and humor, and noting that
the source of his ammunition is in
eXhaustibIe and that his range is
unlimited and aim accurate, I do
know that he is the biggest preSi-
Dental possibility now making a
noise in Uncle Sans political game
reserve.
1t isn't necessary to say that this
great commentator and seed sower
and broadcaster of the air is the
| giant oak of the forest whose sturdy
branches tower above all for light
and wisdom and whose falling
acorns, or gems of thought, feed
and quench the thirst for truth and
knowledge. This you all know, who
have heard him. Like Shakespeare,
he has surveyed and fathomed the
whole ocean of thought and stored
in his masterful mind only the ker-
nels, and those who come after
must Of necessity be cleaners of
chaff. With his amazing vocabu-
larry, cutting sarcasm and keen and
humorous wit, coupled with his
sound punches of logic and sudden
! blasts and flashes Of oratOry, he
aims steady and shoots straight at
/ his chosen target and never fails
with his glib and lashing tongue to
ring the bell of conviction in the
minds of his audience.
After hearing all Of the political
harangue and ranting, propaganda
and hypocrisy which daily crowd
the air and choke our dials, and
after reading the many partisan and
misleading editorials and conflict
ing and confusing expert opinions
found in the columns of our press
which befuddle instead of enlght-
en-. it is with great satisfaction to
our beclouded and hungry minds

THEODORE HOME PRAISED
FOR WORK

BY Mae c. Mattox
I wonder who knows just what
the Theodore Home really is and
what it is for? Only those who go
there seem to know, and my stay
there has prompted me to write this
article, because I know too. Theo-
dora Home is a truly Christian home
for folk who need a place to stay
until jobs can be found, or until
they can make further arrange
ments to go on.
Devotional services are held every
morning and all are invited to at

A STABLE, my agents inform
= me, is device by which the
wealthy compensate for the fact
that the poor can own cars. At one
time automobiles were for the priv
LEGGED few But now, what with in
stalment buying, the little fellow
can turn out in a chariot as good
looking as that of his rich neighbor.
But he can not possess a horse, for
a horse requires fodder and a place
to sleep. Also it requires leisure in
Which he may be ridden.
My knowledge of horses is limited.
I recall through the mists of the
years a creature my father bought,
against the wishes of my mother,
whose call name was Admiral
Dewey" That places him in regard
to age. FATHER bought him on the
sly and a colored man in the plot
brought him home. The only trou-
bic with the Admiral was that when
they came to lead him into the
stable the clearance was too low
and he would not go in.
The Biological Survey and the
State Conservation Department may
correct me if I am wrong, but I
understand horse will not duck.
The entrance must be high enough
or he will stay out all night.

nNE thing like about the horse
~ back movement is that it in
wolves the hunt breakfast. 1 always
have wanted to eat breakfast stand
ing up in the English manner. The
menu should include "Toad-fn-the
Hole" which is a kidney baked in
side an onion, or vice versa.
l should imagine that any break
fast taken after a run with the
hounds should be taken standing
up. Off the mantel, as it were.
At that, this increased interest in
horses and how to ride them is an
excellent thing. 1t has revived an
ancient and honorable pastine
known as the hay ride.
note that people have gone into
the hay ride business and will give
a hay ride, including a wiener roast
at from so cents to dollar a
person, depending on the hour OF
the day or night.
1t was the hay ride that made
many of the matches that produced
our present civilization. if you want
TO call it that. And a return of the
nay ride as pastime is not to be
Sneered at.

THE only objection to the saddle
horse craze is that it is a little
hard on the apartment house
dweller. Just as he has solved the
problem of keeping a scottie OF
some other breed of pooch In an
efficiency, he is confronted by board
ing horse.

7 HAVE before me the December
number of The Hoosier Eques-
TRAN" which I understand to be
the house organ of the Indiana
Saddle Horse Association. The re-
vival of horseback riding in the
United States is something that de-
serves the attention of all students
Of our folk ways.
The present upsurge is really the
end product Of something which be-
gan about 10 years ago. Here and
there stables were opened; here and
there whipcord breeches and hard
hats were stocked by the more
courageous merchants.
ONE of the better movie critics in
~ the state at that time was
Carolyn Jacks, now the wife Of
everett Holes of the United Press.
Carolyn, very smart. very pretty and
very much up to date. decided she
would have her daily dozen on a
morse.
Arrayed in the last word in habits
she Sva4 ted out through the park
set aside Tor horseback riders. Just
when she was IN that healthful gov
that cCm2S from exercise and a clear
conscience the livery stable plug she
was aboard decided to lie down.
Carolyn was able to get off before
the debacle and remain uninjured.
But her conscience would not per-
nit her to leave portable and val
liable goods in the public way. So
she took the saddle and bride off
the animal and tramped back to the
stable. Returning the leather to the

THE most conservative and re-
Calcitrant member of the Su-
preme Court today undoubtedly is
Justice James Clark McReynOldS.
His voting record has been 100 per
cent against all New Deal measures,
100 per cent for big business.
When the court, by a scant "a
vote, decided to uphold the gold de-
ciSlon, Mr.. McReynolds delivered a
scathing denunciation from the
bench, virtually branding the de-
ciSiOn a miscarriage of justice.
However, it was not always thus.
AS a young lawyer in 1907, Mr..
McReynolds was with the famous
New York law firm of Cravath,
Henderson and de Gersdorff. He re-
signed, however, in order to prose-
cute the Tobacco Trust, one of the
firms most important clients.

Merry-Go-
Round

NTASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-The
w League has weathered some
hazardous tests in recent months,
but perhaps its hardest comes when
the question OF an oil embargo
arises today.
II the committee OF eighteen
votes to bar oil from Italy lmmedi-
ately. it means either that MuSSo-
I'M IS finished or else that in deS-
perauOn he pIunges all Europe into
war.
For oil is the hfe-bIood Of the
Italian military machine.
Without 1t Italian naval vessels
could not carry troops and supplies
10 East Africa Italian tanks could
neither advance nor retreat on the
Ethiopian front. And MuSSollnl'S
crack air corps. which has been
breaking up ethiopian troop con-
centrationS, would be grounded.
No wonder MuSSolini threatened
war against the world.
Latest official representations re-
celyed here, however. Indicate the
League Will uOOge the issue. The
committee OF eighteen Will vote
sanctions, but ac.ay application
until around Jan. /.
Public excuse Will be the desire
to know whether the American Con-
greSS Will vote an emOargo on OIL.
Present prospects are that II
Geneva walUS Tor Congress, MusSo-
I'M should not have mucn TO worry
about. Legislation - now being
drafted by Senator Bone, who
forced the present neutrality act on
the White Households for no en-
barge on oil. Other Senators indi-
cate an oil embargo will be difficult.
If passed, at all, certainly it will
rot come until late January, or even
February.

Washington, D. C.-After a confer
ence with trade union officials here,
Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress
Administrator issued an order permit
ting State WPA administrators to fix
the hours OF labor on projects financed
by the $4,8O0,0O0,000 Federal work re-
lief appropriation.
Mr.. Hopkins made no change in the
monthly security wage" ranging from
$50 to S94, fixed by President Roose-
welt, but opened the way for reducing
the length Of the work week so that
hourly wages can be substantially in
creased and may reach the prevailing
or union wage rates.
The only restriction on hours of work
now is that they must not be in excess
OF eight per day and forty per week.
There is no minimum.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Hopkins
that State WPA administrators had
previously been empowered to recon-
mend changes in wage scales and hours.
He said the new order was more spec
ific and amplified the authority of the
State administrators so as to give them
full control in the matter of hours
within the maximum OF forty per week,

NEW EDUCATIONAL MOTION
PICTURE FILM TELLS
STORY OF NICKEL

The complete story of the production
and use of the important industrial
metal, nickel, is pictured Interestingly
in a new 2-reel silent educational mo-
ton picture film recently prepared I'M
der the supervision Of the United States
Bureau Of Mines, Dept. of the In
terror, in cooperation with an industrial
concern,
The story opens more than a hall
a mile below the earth's surface, where
nickel ore is mined, loaded into cars
hauled to the bottom of the shaft, and
crushed. Huge electric hoists bring
the ore to the surface where it is crush
ed again, passed over a picking belt
pulverized in rod mills, concentrated by
~flotation, and smelted in reverberatory
furnaces and %covertors.
Scenes which follow show spectacu-
lar operations Of drawing the Stag and
tapping a cupola furnace, as we'll as
electrolytic refining and casting.
The later part Of the film portrays
the increased Importance of nickel al
Iloys, chiefly those with iron, steel and
"copper". 1t shows the electric furnace
in which the alloys are made, and also
tapping the furnace, pouring into mou-
lids, and forging ingots. Other scenes
portray handling Of ingots, %preheatine
of blooms, annealing furnaces, rolling
mills, a picking plant, and other in
cidental manufacturing operations. The
film ends with several spectacular
scenes showing how nickel is utilized
in industry, in sports and in the home
