OTHER OPINION
NEW DEAL
IRushville Republicans

The wit who called Jim Farleys
Jackson Day dinners "The Last Sup
per" must have had in mind the ter
rifle reaction against the New Deal
as shown in the Literary Digest poll
The final report in this national
poll furnishes headache to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. In the first place
the poll has been an acurate guage
in the past two elections, and Sec
ondly, of the 48 states, only II states
of the solid South, and Utah, which
has only four electoral votes, voted
for the New Deal policies.
Indiana voted a percentage of
1886 against the New Deal.
A remarkable point in the poll
Just closed is that interest was so
high that almost two million votes
were counted, an increase of nearly
so per cent over the number cast in
the 1884 roll.
The Indiana swing from the New
Deal is shown by the vote in 1892,
which was for Roosevelt by 5467,
and in 1884, which gave his policies
Endorsement by 500 per cent. and
the 1856 poll, which votes against
his policies for the first time, Civ
ing him only 4o.5s per cent favor
able votes.

Questions and Answers

Q-Give the names of the
children of General Grant.
A-Frederick Dent, Ulysses Jr.,
Jesse r. and Nellie.
Q-What is the origin of the Gus
tom of hanging up stockings for
Christmas gifts?
A-Little Dutch children were
taught to put their wooden shoes by
the f1reside on Christmas Eve be-
cause Santa Claus would leave nc
gifts unless he saw the shoes all in
row. Parents probably created
this custom as a method of getting
children to bed on Christmas night
English children who had no wooden
shoes substituted stockings. From
England the custom comes to us III
America.
Q-What is an albino?
A-The term was first applied by
the Portuguese to the white Negroes
of West Africa. 1t is now applied
to an individual in whom there i;
congenital deficiency of pigment ir
skin, hair, iris and choroid of the
eye. The skin is abnormally pale
and the hair is white or pale flaxen
and the iris is pink. Albinism is
found in many races as a rare con-
dition. It is sometimes a family
trait. Tt occurs frequently among
rabbits, mice, birds and other lower
animals.
GLOW did the English custom
OF bringing in and burning a Yule
log at Christmas originate?
A-From the Scandinavians who
at the feast of JUL, kindled a great
fire in honor of Thor The Goths
and Saxons called the festival Jul
and thus the word "Yule" and
''Yuletide" is derived.
Q-What is the address of Walter

true? They said, repeal prohibition
ind the saloon will never come
back" And have we not now some
thing worse than the saloon? And
here is another lie. They said under
no consideration will we ever allow
the return of the bar, the brass rail
and curtained windows of the old
time Saloon-an obvious false state
ment. And they said nobody will be
allowed to sell without a license.
Today our greatest problem is
the unlicensed bootlegger They
also said they were going to control
and regulate the traffic. Well, you
might as well try to regulate hell
Have they or will they ever regulate
it? So what can not be mended
must be ended.
And here is another lie of the
vets: Liquor people will obey local
laws. Have they ever obeyed them ?
In the language of their own lead
ers, are they not in danger of kill
ing the goose that lays the golden
egg? And the blacklist lie of all of
them-"We believe in temperance
and moderation" Shall we then
teach moderation to the young peo-
pie? No, never. Where there is
drink there is danger. Did you ever
see hog which wasn't first a pig?
The leopard can't change his spots.
So allow me to reiterate, what can't
be mended must be ended. Pull
verize the liquor traffic.
Here is another inconsistency of
the vets, when they said, vote for
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and thus reduce drinking.
They also claimed they would re-
duce taxes and give many a job
a job for what? To make booze,
to unfit men to make a living. Ac-
cording to the best authorities, for
every dollar revenue for saloon IL
cense it costs more than $40 to keep
up jails, poorhouses, police officers
and other expenses caused directly
by drink. Isn't this bad bargain?
Repeal is failure.

The members of these depart

depression. They accepted their re-

tinued to perform their hazardous
duties with efficiency and loyalty
Some of them have been killed
and wounded. To a great extent,
their sacrifices have gone un-

none, for to them the almost daily
encounter with danger is routine

DECLARES VETS HAVE NOT
FULFILLED PROMISES

BY H. S. Bonsib
The vets have been good on
promises, but have fallen short on
fulfilling them. They came as IAN
angel of light deceiving the very
elect, if possible-getting many to
believe lie to be damned.
On the temperance question they
were going to give us a new deal
but it was a dirty deal. They were
going to bring about great reforms
by repeating the Eighteenth Amend
ment, bat it was deform. They
were going to balance the budget
with beer, but have they? They were
false prophets. Repeal will do away
with bootiegging, but now we have
more bootleggers than ever. and the
higher the license the more boot
leggers you will have. So liquor is
not the remedy.

wine and beer" Has that proven

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

A S 1886 gets under way, the ORR
L n gin of the worlds supply Of
petroleum has become a bigger
mystery than ever. Evidence now is
accommodating to show that the the
Org for its origin which was most
popular in the past will have to be
given up.
This theory held that petroleum
had a marine origin, having been
formed through the decomposition
of fatty oils from marine sources
through the action of heat.
However, DR.. Benjamin T. Brooks
of New York points out that there
is good reason to believe that petro-
leum had low temperature origin.
The theory that heat played role
in the formation of petroleum origi-
mated with Engler in Germany in
1885. This theory, DR.. Brooks said,
probably was accepted at the end of
the last century because of the
common belief then that there was
a great superabundance of heat
deep in the earth.
DUT it recently has been shown
ID that petroleums contain va
viety of substances which are sensi-
tive to heat and are readily decom-
posed at relatively low tempera-
lures, DR.. Brooks continues.
Among these substances may be
mentioned certain liable sulphur
compounds.
These are substances which are
derived from the chlorolphyll or
green pigment OF plants. The ones
present in the petroleum appear to
have come from the minute one
celled plants known as algae.

DUYING food properly is not just
- matter of choosing anything
that tickles the fancy, and laying
down the money The person who
does the family marketing must keep
in mind a number of facts.
For instance. she must consider
the varying appetites of dad. mother
and the others. If your father is a
laborer, he'll need more food energy
than he would If he were a clerical
worker Brothers and sisters at
work all require more calories than
those at school.
Perhaps Brother Bills an athlete:
If so. he should have more food
energy than Harold, the quiet. studi-
Gus brother.
A quart of milk for each child
and pint for each adult will pro-
vide one -fourth of the total calories
your family needs each day. Bread
and cereals furnish another fourth.
Fruits and vegetables supply one
fifth to one-Sixth of the calories. =
If the purse runs low, more dried
fruits and canned vegetables may be
used. Remember, however, that
canned tomatoes, fresh cabbage and
potatoes provide vitamin c in large
amounts, and that spinach, string
beans or green peas, carrots and
oranges also afford important vita
Minis and mineral salts.
hats frequently are expensive,
l. but good milk provides butter
fat. If your family gets the
amount that it ought to have.
mother need not worry so much
about the vitamin A that comes
from butter.
In general, we use too much
sugar. Syrup and sugars should
constitute about 10 per cent of our
total Galleries.
Dietary authorities believe that
children particularly need not over
emphasize meat. A half ounce of
meat for a child to 10 years old.
an ounce for one II to ID, and two
ounces for an older child or grown
up, should do very we'll. Remem-
Der, however, that liver and the
glandular organs, as well as kidney
and heart, are richer in iron and
vitamins than muscle meats.
Even if the grown-ups don't get
them so often, children should
have eggs three or four times
week. Cheese, incidentally, is a
concentrated food having the quail
tiles of milk and being especially
rich in calcium.
TN buying food, too, there are other
l. things to be considered. There
is, of course, the budget question:
division of expense for food needed
for actual nourishment, luxuries re-
ouired for satisfaction of special
appetites, and victuals to have on
hand for entertainment and social
purposes.
Regarding the last item, food has
come to have significant place So
clally in our lives When you enter
tain friends at dinner, you like to
provide something extra special
custom that hourishes even in
