rs Senator jim Couzens peeved?
Il His son Frank, 32-year-old
Mayor of Detroit, wired Secretary
Ickes for an appointment to dis
cuss a grant of PWA funds. With
out waiting for a reply, young
Couzens jumped on a train and
rushed to the Capitol.
Meanwhile, Ickes, with charac-
teristic terseneSS, had wired him:
Time to see me about PWA
money is after Congress has
acted"
The telegram was relayed to the
impatient Mayor when he reached
Washington. He sought to see
Ickes but the latter. every minute
of his day already engaged. could
not see him.
Father Couzens in the Senate
said nothing publicly. But pri-
vately-his ideas had something
to do with the attempt TO bar

Vote GetterS Came First

MIR. FARLEY also wished to replace Mr.. Paul M.
1V1 Pearson, a Republican, as Governor of the Vir-
gin Islands. Mr.. Ickes is neither a Republican nor
a Democrat and he just felt that if there had to be
a new Governor the selection should not be left to
Mr.. Farley. If you don't know, then Mr.. Ickes GER
tainiy does, what sort of statesman MI. Farley would
be likely to select for Governor of the unfortunate
Virgin islanders if it were left to him. Mr.. Farley
would merely scan the list of deserving Democrats
and pick the next man in line whether he happened
to be a tailor, a trap-drumner or just one of the
boys from around the corner, but a reliable man at
turning out the vote.
It was while Mr.. Goodwin was away from the
office, teething, that persons unknown turned out
the mimeographed reproduction of the article dis
cuSsing this situation with the utmost candor.
Mr.. Ickes, the house dick, a~pologized to all hands
around, Mr.. Goodwin resolved to do the rest of his
teething on his own time, and the Monograph.
which is more dangerous than the machine gun, will
be kept under lock and key henceforth.
What about a few refreshing saucers of whisky

That Was 81 Years Ago

n ALWAYS am startled by the low pay which the
Il baseball stars receive. OF course. some of the top
salaries sound big but they are for short periods and
depend upon soundness of limb in a sport where ac-
cidents are numerous. And 1 am irritated when
some magnate or other announces blandly that he
is through with some old ~favorite.
For instance. organized baseball seems to be
through with Babe Ruth. I wonder who these mag
mates think they are. They strut around their Stadia
as if the owned the game. Just let them try some
afternoon and see how many fans will turn out to
watch a pitching duel between Stoneham and Jake
Rupert. But here I am. at my age, going back into
arguments with which I was done in the summer
of 1915. And indeed 1 didn't get away from the
baseball writers dinner without being very sharply
reminded that time is a Splinter. A friend who had
taken the dinner to the full. coilared me at the
door and said. Let's go down to Sweeneys and
watch Florence dance"
He was sincere but slightly muddled and I had to
say, Pull yourself together Bill and think. We used
TO 60 there IN the summer of 1908 when I was start
ing off on the Morning Telegraph. Pull yourself
together and remember. They tore that place down

days after Napoleon greeted his
proxy bride at Compeigne.
Now Marie Louise again became
the pawn in the diplomatic chess
game. Napoleon was at F%ontaine-
bleau, soon to abdicate and be vir-
tually exiled to Elba. Marie Louise
was called to Rambouillet by her
father.
Metternich was there, as was
Gar Alexander and it is told that
the car held Napoleon's son on
his knee. Metternich had de-
termined Napoleon and Marie
Louise must be separated. And so,
while Napoleon travelled to Elba
Gin the uniform of an Austrian
to escape death from mobs that
once adored him) his empress and
her court were transplanted to
Vienna.
THE rest of the story bears out
Il the role of Nemesis that Ma
RE Louise has played in history.
Soon she went to AK, under the
protection of Count Neipperg, a
daShing general who had lost his
right eye fighting Austria's battles
against Napoleon. Count Neipperg
was M~etternich's agent and was
as boastful over his Don Juan
conqueSts as once Napoleon had
been. He told his friends, when
he was assigned to AK to be Ma
RE Louise's protector: "In six
weeks I will be her best friend,
in six months her lover" He
made good his boast.
Back to Vienna, eventually, went
Marie Louise and Neipperg. The
coalition va dividing Napoleon's
empire. Metternich and her IA
Their came to Marie Louise. They
knew, of course, about Neipperg.
Marie Louise made her choice.
In return for the Duchy of Par
49, she would renounce Napoleon
and she would turn over his son
to be brought up as an Austrian.
The son would have no succession
to her duchy. He simply would
be the Duke of Reichstadt and
never allowed to leave Vienna.
She might visit him now and
then. She would turn over n
opened any letters she received
from Napoleon. And she would
turn over the packet of 318 let
tiers Napoleon had written to her.
CThese are the letters, a family
secret of the Hapsburgs for 120
years, that now are to be pub
lished in The Indianapolis
Times.1
The end Of this never COM
pletely told story is: Marie Louise
never again saw or wrote TO Ma
poleon. Shortly after she had re-
nounced him he escaped from
Elba and again met disaster at
Waterloo. And she became the
mother of Neipperg's son. The
King of Rome, Napoleon's tragic
little Eaglet, grew up virtually a
prisoner in Vienna and died at 81.
And when Napoleon died in
exile at st. Helena his last words
were of Josephine, not of Marie
Louise.

The UnkindcSt Cracks of All

IT was during Mr.. Godwins absence at the dem
l. fists that some one in the Department Of the In
terror released to the newspapers as an official hand
out a reprint of an article published III the Nation
which passed many unkind cracks at two members
of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet and one of his best
Senators. The Nation is a little magazine very
much in love with humanity which expresses that
affection by utterLng unkind cracks about many
leading statesmen. This article severely criticised
Mr.. Farley, Mr.. Cummings and Senator Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi.
Without going into the truth or falsity IF the
criticism, it was felt that Mr.. Ickes, as a member Of
the cabinet, himself, should not have given circu-
lation to an article of this type. After all, even
though Mr.. Ickes is the house dick of the Admins
tration and, as such, frequently has to chase Mr..
Farley away, he should always do this in a quiet
manner. The greater the truth of the article, the
worse the scandal in the happy household of the
Administration.
The Messrs. Farley, Cummings and Harrison had
sent a deserving Democrat named 7. Weber Wilson
down to the Virgin Islands to act as Federal judge.
That was something that couldn't very well be
helped. Mr.. Wilson is a Mississippi statesman who
found himself unconnected with a public pay roll for
the first time since 1915.
1t was a wise move to make him a Judge in the
Virgin Islands and thus put him back on the pay
roll and thus, also. rid his mind of any notion of
running for the Senate in opposition to Senator
Harrison. A Mississippi statesman who finds himself
mconnected with a public pay roll is always a
source of danger.

End of a Dinner Coat

UNFORTUNATELY Mr.. Dean did not pick the
right boy as the donor. The prince of pitchers
is lank. but he has an awesome spread of shoulders.
The owner Of the dinner coat will be able to use 1t
as a macintosh when it comes back to him from
Dizzy Dean
A chorus Of writer's sang a ditty during the course
Of the evening in which they asserted that Dizzy
might not be a Matty or 4 Johnson. but that they
would string along with him until the day that one
came along. It seems to me that both Dizzy and his
critics are far too modest n discussing the young
mans proves. I saw Matty work many times, but
on the mere question of technical proficiency no
body's opinion except that of a player is worth much.
In the field Of showmanship Matty was by no means
comparable TO Dean.
This is even more true in the case Of Walter
Johnson Walter was a pitching machine with the
Ioveliest fast ball that ever the human eye was too
slow to gaze upon. But he never had an atom Of
color. We always used to describe him as "one Of
the finest characters in baseball" What else could
you say? The man had no personality.
There is a small intellectual group of baseball
experts which contends that IF all the pitchers of
all time Carl Hubbell stands out as the supreme art
list. But these are people who read Proust and sub
scribe to the New Republic. 1t is too small a faction
TO stand up against the proletarian mass pressure
which has been assembled behind Dizzy Dean.
ANY effort upon my part to argue that Dean
isn't really dizzy at all would probably be resented
BY the same readers who get mad when a columnist
takes pot shots at Santa Claus. I don't mean that
the pitcher, himself. would get angry. The fact that
there isn't any Santa Claus would not be news to
Dizzy Dean. He works for Sam Breadon.

age OF the American thester. Base ball men aren't
ike that. Mack said. "BaSeball is better played to-
dav than ever before. Any Class D Lacquer can
catch better than I did when vas in the big
leagues"
OF course. it was impossible for anybody to deny
that this is an up and coming age, for along about

Dean himself. II was my first meeting with the new

The Russians would not fight
openly. Nor would they make
peace. Napoleon was stopped by
impasse. The tragic retreat be-
gan. Back over the fields from
hich his army in the advance
I'd stripped everything that
hadn't been burned. Starvation.
Bitter cold. His men and their
camp followers fell by the hun
dreds. Back over that hell of
Borodino, where the bodies were
frozen and where men went mad.
Another mistake of Napoleon. He
had forgotten two of his maxims:
IAN army travels or its belly"
and Make no war against a des-
ert."
Napoleon had wrought the worst
military disaster Europe had seen
in generations. Historians have
searched every scrap of memoirs
for explanations. Now there is a
new source by which to search the
mind of this defeated c%onqueror.
For during this Russian debacle
Napoleon wrote 112 letters to
Marie Louise in 191 days. These
are a part of the 318 now to be
revealed.
Napoleon left his shattered
army-3OO, 900 at least had been
lost-and hurried back to Paris
and Marie Louise. There had been
an almost successful attempt to
restore the republic. Paris this
time did not acclaim the emperor.
Now days of reconstructing ar
mics and political alliances. Aus

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

A LITTLE 16-page booklet published by the Uni
N versity Hospitals of Cleveland is attracting in
ternational attention in hospital circles. Requests
for copies of it are coming from hospitals in all parts
of the United States and from Europe. The latest
request is from the director general Of the Paris
hospitals.
The booklet represents a new departure in hos
pital procedure. It's title is "A Journey of Discov-
cry While Lying Abed." A copy is put into the hands
of each patient when he has reached the stage Of
convalescence. Prepared under the direction of DR..
Robert H. Bishop JrY director of the University Hos
pitfalls, its function is to acquaint the patient with
the complete story of the hospital IN which he finds
himself.
For many patients a hospital is naturally a be-
wildering place. He enters it at the moment of a
great personal criss-after an accident or in need Of
an operation, or when infection has entered his sys-
tenn. He may be suffering severe pain.
He may find himself almost Immediately the
central character in a drama whic moves with great
swiftness.
What impression does the patient take away from
the hospital? DR.. Bishop decided that in this day
when the air is full OF talk about the future of med
ical science, the patient ought to have a chance to
know all the facts.
THE booklet, at the start, emphasizes the rela-
u tionship Of hospital to community. Although
the services given within it's walls must of necessity
be highly personalized, so that each patient in turn
receives full benefit of its multitudinous facilities, the
University Hospitals represent the whole community.
From the time that the idea of a great medical
center was first conceived the project has developed
step by step as a community service.
Day after day, as individual sufferers are re-
stored to health and happiness, the vast facilities of
the University Hospitals make possible special studies
of these cases, all looking forward to the progress of
the science Of preventive medicine, and, therefore, to
the gradual but scientifically certain improvement Of
the public health Of the community and the greater
welfare and happiness of its citizens, in all walks Of
hfe."
THE booklet also gives some statistics about your
l. hospital dollar" 1t divides it up as follows:
General room service. 34s per cent; professional
services, 1876 per cent; nursing care, 10 per cent;
dietary, 21.3 per cent. and laundry and linen, So per
cent.
1t points out that only two-ffths OF your dollar
cover what might be termed "hotel service" The
other three-ffths goes to special food service, nurs-
ing care and professional service.

for treatment
The x-ray is a potent force. Doctors in the early
days did not know how TO protect themselves against
its dangers. and so. many nave become martyrs to
their Investigations with this apparatus.
Meantime. many different Improvements have
been made. so that the X-ray of today is as greatly

the motor car Of today compared with the automobile
OF that period.
IT is possible. BY studies of the skull. to determine
