CAN SHE COOK?
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

somebody suggests. "She can
learn in six months"
That sounds good; but it
isn't. In the first place 2 girl
can not learn to cook in six
months. In the next place, that
six months Of experimentation is
hard on digestive organs and
tempers and on the holy bonds of
matrimony.
And suppose her husband can
hire her a cook. Comparatively
few cooks can go on their own
indefinitely. They have to be
supervised and directed by some
body who knows more about
cooking than they do; and who is
more vitally interested in that
particular job. And there are
days when the cook doesn't show
up.
Suppose a man should marry
with the declaration, "I'm not 60
ing to slave for any woman and
her children. My wife must pro-
vide me with an income"
That thing has been said and
done; but the results have not
been constructive.
Marriage should contemplate
the founding Of a home, which
embraces two co-ordinated insti-
tutions - the running of the
household directed by the wife ;
that is her duty; the securing OF
funds by the husband for main
tanning the household; that is his
duty.
There are two kinds Of women
who do not need to know how to
cook-the kind that follows a
business or professional career
and stays single; and the kind
whose husband can afford to keep
her as a pet and provide her
with a hOusekecper capable Of

Dental campaign.
My opinion is that nothing less
than the establishment of q GEN.
tralized Government can, or will
dispel the clouds of dissatisfac-
ton now looming IN our national
horizon. This is a fight between
capital and labor. involving the
future destiny OF this country,
and therefore cannot be settled in
a moment.
In the first place, if the capital
lists are allowed to keep what they
have, and to use it rs they have
done to the detrimelt OF the Ia
boring element. ther it is under
existing conditions impossible TO
correct present wrongs. Present
conditions will continue as they
are.
CAPITALISM IS so Thoroughly in
trenched that Il cannot be over
come. if It is allowed to use its
already massive power. It al
ready hes the Government by the
throat. and if presen. conditions
continue much longer there IS no
telling what is going t9 happen.
The question now S, can the
present Government cNrrect pres
ent wrongs without first correct
ing itself? If the power which
capitalism now possesses, which
represents the wrongs it has al
ready done, is TO be brought to
an end. then it must be dealt
with as an existing ;%rong and
not as an established right. Tie
power the capitalist now possesses
can onlv be overcome on the
ground that it is. aNd las been ar

POLITICS START SHOW BY RADIO
AND FILM
IN RRUCE CATTONl


4 1t begins to look as if the innocent Cit
zen who sets out to get little harmless
amusement for himself during the next Il
months is apt to find himself up to his el-
boWs in a mess of underdone polucal
propaganda.
The Democrats are going to the MOVIES
and the Republicans are heading for the
radio. and the political strateglstS are mas
tening to learn the inside secrets OF scena-
rio construction, plot development, JOKE
connection and the like.
There arrived in Hollywood recently the
autere and legendary figure OF ReXfora
GUY Tugwen, who is unquestionably the
handsomest man who ever was accused OF
having an, undue amount Of brains.
It is his notion to put through movie
depicting the familiar old rags-to-rlcheS
story in a new guise, with the federal Re
settlement Administration, which he leads,
in the role of hero.
According to preliminary announce
raents, a movie is to be constructed SHOW
ing the devastating effects of the great
drOuth. At the crucial moment, up VIII
come the gallant men of the Resettlement
outft-landing Just in the nick OF time,
like the marines or the U. S. cavalry-to
transplant the haraSSed victims OF the
drouth to greener fields.
FThe idea, one gathers, is that spectators
will 90 away from this entertainment
purged by the traditional emotions of pity
and terror and filled uncOnsciOusly with
admiration for the administration at Wash
ingtOn.
But if this looks like a low Democratic
trick to steal march on the Republicans,
it must be recorded that the Republicans
are ready to pull low trick of their own.
The theatrical trade paper Variety an
nounces that the Republicans are prepar-
ing a radio show entitled Liberty at the
Crossroads" This, it is said, is to be made
up of a series of dramatic episodes some
what on the order of the March of Time"
broadcaSts, contrasting the dismal lot o.
citizens who live under a Democratic re-
gime with the happy lot which was theirs
when Republicans were n power.
1t is rumored that tn will be only the
first of a series of such hows, and that ID
100000 pot is being sought to finance
the production of many more.
And it does look as if our rival party
cmeftains have got us between the devil
and the deep blue sea. If we go to the
movies, they will have us imbibing one
kind of propaganda; if we stay at home
and turn on the radio, they will pour ar
other kind down our throats. Perhaps
we'd all better go in for working in the
garden for the coming year.

Willow Street, HcndersOnville, n.
! c., September 80, 1885.
Mr.. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President Of the United States OF
America.
My Dear Sir:
l was surprised to receive a
letter from you asking for my ad-
vice, on the assumption Of my
knowledge concerning our pres
ent condition as a Nation, based
of course on local conditions with
which l am supposed to be ac-
Quainted. l appreciate the honor,
but feel almost helpless when cal
led on to express my opinion on
the tangled condition into which
our Nation has fallen, for which
you as President cannot be held
accountable. You came upon the
scene when conditions were such
that no living man could unravel.
No man ever confronted such
a condition of dissatisfaction,
doubt, and uncertainty as did you,
Mr.. President when you took
oath, and became President Of
this Great Commonwealth. You
came upon the scenes at a time
when no living man could unravel
the political, and economic condi-
ton into which we had fallen.
/ said then, and I say now that
you are going down in history the
most beloved man who has ever
been President OF this Nation. or
/ the most desDised man who has
ever achieved this exalted posi-
ton.
You are now between the devil
and the dark, blue sea. If ever a
man merited wise and prudent
support you are the man, and I
feel YOU deserve it. You must
have Divine guidance, and the un-
tied support of every true citizen
Of this Nation. May you lean hard
on the Divine, and realize the
great truth that there is wisdom
and strength in the multitude of
counsel. Up to date, you have
been cautious, and able to hold
the wide spread dissatisfaction at
bay but it is far from being over
come. The air is going to be fill
ed with all manner Of issues to
mSlead public opinion, and to
make it appear that you, and your
administration are responsible for
the dissatisfaction which now pre-
walls that can be manufactured
between now and the opening of
the next campaign.
One of the issues to be fought
ont in the next campaign will be
the revision of the Constitution.
Those who are in favor of leav-
ING things as they are will plead
Tor the sacredness of the old Con-
Shtutlon and that it is too prec-
lous to be tampered with. but on
the other hand, there will be
vast class who will contend that
the abuse of political liberty as
granted under the present Con-
stltution which has tangled this
Governmental skein should and
can be so adjusted as to restore
public confidence, and overcome
this universal spread of dissatis-
faction.

ABDUCTED GIRL
IS FOUND SLAIN
Shot and Beaten Body of
Mildred Hook DiSCov-
cred in CuIVert.
BY the Associated Press.


TWIN FALLS. Idaho, November
29.-The shot and beaten body of
Mildred Hook, %, sought since she
was abducted last Saturday by Doug
las Van Vlack, her former husband,
was found in railroad culvert near
Berger, Idaho, today.
Deputy Sheriff Oris Cryder said a
bullet which was taken from the Ia
coma, Wash, girls head was similar
to those fired from a pistol owned by
Van Vlack, who is held here on a
charge of murder in connection with
the Staying of State Highway Patrol
man Fontaine Cooper.
Her head had been crushed by rock.
Van Vlack was whisked from the
Twin Falls County Jail by Sheriff E.
F. Prater half an hour after the dis
covery of his former wife's body.
Prisoner Safeguarded.
The sheriff said the prisoner would
be placed in some other Jail near here
while he attended Cooper's funeral
this afternoon at Lava Hot Springs.
When he was taken from the jail
Van Vlack had not been informed OF
the discovery of the body.
Sheriff Prater said he did not fear
violence against Van Vlack, but that
in his absence he did not wish to
leave the responsibility for his safety
to his deputies.
Ralph E. Leighton, former chief Of
police here, who observed the position
of the girls body as it was discovered,
said he believed she had crawled
through the 16-inch culvert to escape
the cold wind.
Then, he theorized, with her arms
pinioned helpleSsly at her side and
only her head protruding from the
narrow opening, her aSsailant had
crushed her head with small rock
and ended her life with his pistol.
The rock, blood-stained, was found
near the body.
Deputy Also Shot.
Deputy Sheriff Henry G. Givens,
who was shot and seriously wounded
when Cooper was slain, had bad
night" last night, hospital attendants
said today. His condition yesterday
was reported as considerably improved.
Finding of the body of Miss Hook,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hook
of Tacoma, marked the tragic end Of
fight that began in Tacoma last
Saturday evening when her former
husband forced her to accompany him
in small coupe.
She dropped from sight shortly be-
fore posses captured Van Vlack as he
lay in a roadside ditch after an ex-
change of shots with the officers.
The officers attempted to question
Van Vlack on the highway after word
was spread that the girl had been
abducted.
After Van Vlack's arrest on charges
of killing Cooper he steadfaStly denied
that he had harmed the girl. Officers
quoted him as saying she left him
Monday, the day of the shooting.

closed today.
Orders given by the propaganda
ministry to bar theatrical productions
in Italy from nations applying sane
tions made an exception of these two
noted English dramatists.
Fascists said they felt Shakespeare
and Shaw belonged mot to England
but to the world"
Besides, they said, Shaw ranked
among the intellectuals opposed to
enforcement of League of Nations war
penalties on Italy for its invasion of
Ethiopia.
On London Shaw conceded it was
most f1attering to be associated thus
with Shakespeare. He added, however,
that he objected to his plays receiving
preferential treatment" and that he
had instructed his agents not to apply
for any exceptions in his favor in the
Italian intellectual counter-sanc-
tions.")
