ssParamOunt Issue" Is Not
 Yet Sighted Despite Heat of
 Present National Campaign
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press. WashingtOnl

It is too early to jump at con- clusions, but many of those in the active stream of national politics are wondering whether the present campaign, for all its fury and depth of feeling, ever will produce a genuine paramount issue"
 Certainly there is no sign thus far that any one specific question of national policy is emerging above all others, or is on the way to uni versal recognition as the hinge on which the election will turn.
 The great decisive campaigns of history have produced such issues, and so have some of the lesser campaigns. Slavery, free silver and other definitive topics of dispute have inspired political battles which will live forever. Four years ago an ndividual-Herbert Hoover-became rather definitely the major issue,
 It may be that, before November, Franklin D. Roosevelt will be agreed upon as the paramount issue of 1936. There are those who doubt it seriously, for to a peculiar degree popular opinion often has shown a tendency to distinguish between MT. Roosevelt and his policies, and to be for one and against the other.
 At any rate, no such stage has been reached so far. Nearly all political leaders and commentators state the paramount issue diff ferently.
 GROUPS ACTIVITY AT A PEAK
 A highly Illuminating observation on this subject was made recently by Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, who predicted that the campaign would be fought out on "a combination of major group is- sueS."
 No enc issue is paramount" said MT. Vandenberg. This is an in- teresting campaign in that it pre- |sents a series of major issues, each a personal intense challenge to a group of the electorate"
 Federation of the word group is significant. There can be no question that group activity, group organization, and group appeal has reached an extraordinary stage. The most intensive efforts are in pro- gress participated in by leaders in all parties, to consolidate the farm CTS, the laborers, business, the un- employed, the women, even the young people and the old people for political action.
 Each political camp planes some one else for this situation. Appeals to conservatism are denounced by the opposition as efforts of the up- per crust to smother the masses, and appeals to the masses are an- swered with charges of promoting class hatred.
 Whoever is responsible the sit uation presents, as Grover Cleve- (Continued on Page FiVe)

STUDENTS GIVE
BIG OVATION
TO BYRD

COLLEGE PARK, Md, March
Students Of the University OF
Maryland yesterday gave a lusty
and unexpected approval to the
appointment Of H. C. Byrd to the
presidency Of the school at the an
nual Maryland day celebration on
tho campus.
Mr.. Byrd, who was named presi-
dent by the board Of regents last
month, was scheduled to make o
few brief Introductory remarks at
the exercises in the Ritchie gym.
He apparently overlooked the fact
that it was to be his first appear
ance before the student oody since
his appointment.
1000 Cheer Him
When he stepped to the speak
ers stand, nearly 1900 students
rose in q body and cheered. Tney
whistled, yelled, beat on the chairs
and stamped on the floor for
nearly five minutes. Byrd, who
was completely surprised and not
q little embarrassed by the demon
stration, strove vainly to quiet the
students for several minutes, but
finally gave up and stood there,
looking, as one student put 1t,
''like Q boxer who had led with
his chin" Mr.. Byrd later said
that was just the way he felt.
Judge Offutt Speaks
When quiet was restored, Byrd
formally introduced the main
speaker, Judge T. Scott Offutt.
chief Judge of the Third Judicial
Circuit of Maryland, who gave a
brief history of Maryland's place
in the progress Of this country.
In his talk, Offutt paid partlcu-
lar tribute to former Governor Al
bert C. Ritchie, stating that al
though Ritchie's political power
was limited to his own State, his
service had gained for him ma
tional recognition as a statesman.
Offutt Said:.
"Ritchie's service to his peO-
pie, his staunch support Of the
Constitution and his absolute
faith In Americanism have made
him an outstanding example OF
the spirit Of the people Of Mary
land and of the State itself"

FRESH AIR GREAT
 HABIT IN WINTER
Healthy Infants Should Be Taken Out of Doors
 Every Day
(By A. Elizabeth rngraham, M. D.

(By A. Elizabeth Ingrahani, M. D.
 Most of the habits of a lifetime are acquired all unconsciously to ourselves. Some are formed with comparative ease, while others have to be striven for through the years.
 But we all will agree that the earlier in life any habit is formed, the easier 1t is to acquire. Health habits are not difficult to form. If they are begun in infancy, by the time the child is old enough to go to school he thinks and acts in terms of good health. Tn other words he has become health minded.
 May we review briefly some of these halth habits. Many parents still feel that in the cold winter weather the child and especially the infant, must be kept indoors and not exposed to the cold. This is @ false notion. All healthy infants should be taken outdoors every pleasant day. Let the baby sleep out of doors in the middle of the day. Find a sheltered place out of the wind and in the sunshine, tuck the child into his carriage and let him sleep there. See that he is warm enough but not perspring. If the child's feet are warm, he Is doubtless all right. When putting e child out of doors to sleep. 1t is important to remember that cold comes up from below as well as down from above. Put a heavy pillow or blanket at the bot tom of the carriage to keep out the cold and wind. Then cover him warmly leaving only his face ex- posed and he will not be cold. If you do this, you will be astonished ct the improvement in his color and

find his skin will retain its healthy tan all winter. Care must be exers cised lest he be exposed too sud" denly or for too long a time at first. Sun baths must be given under adequate supervision and not other' wise, as danger may be involved. Ask your doctor or public health nurse for a schedule and follow 1t closely.
 Of late, doctors are beginning to feel that the great benefit derived by children is not so much from the direct exposure to the suns rays as the exposure to the fresh air. But all doctors and other health w.k- CTS agree that each day every child should spend some time out of doors. Of course, on q clustering snowy, windy or rainy day children must be kept in doors for their nap. if there is no place where they can be sheltered from the weather. But as a rule, all children should be out of doors regularly every day.
 The changes that occur in chil- dren when allowed out of doors after having been kept in for some time, are so marked that we cannot but urge all mothers to give their children the benefit of this most valuable and God-given aid in the healthy development of strong Eo- bust children.

is adequate for only one or two is an entirely different matter. When Q fathers salary can't buy enough bread 1t can't do much about sup- plying ice-cream or taff from the county fair and pink ice cream for birthdays.
 It is too bad that so much of happiness depends on financial freedom. Say what we please, about happiness not being a com modity that we can buy, 1t lasts much longer and looks much nicer when 1t is financially protected.
 Mir. Turner is to be congratulate ed and thanked for leaving his money to better the education and training of small boys and girls, still better, he might have made some fairly nice gifts to the living without insisting that the tribe increase.

By HELEN wELsHIMER

when the late Charles Vance Turner left $500,000 prize, in 1928, to be presented to the Toronto mother giving birth to the greatest number of children in the 10 years after his death, he proved that he was a little ahead of his time.
 Since then Herr Hitler and Sig nor Mussolini have come along with ideas to make their tribes increase. However, as yet they have offered no big cash prizes. Some day perhaps there may be a re- ward of 50 many dollars e head, but that is only conjecture now. The dictators make an appeal to citizen- ship. Charles Vance Turner, being 8 wiser man, put his marathon on cash basis.
 Money, sad to admit, holds great er'allure than patriotism.
 Mrs. Matthew Kennedy is giving birth to the most children in the time limit. She has had 12 to date, according to her family Bible. If the vital statistics bureau records confirm her figures, 1t will take something little less than quin- tuplets for either of Mrs. Kennedy's rivals to match her record. The two nearest rivals have only given birth to nine children apiece in nine years.
 True, the last heir of the Ken- nedy line didn't live. But he was born and breathed, which makes 1t appear that he may win half Q million dollars for his eleven brothers and sisters.
 Resources Guide Family
 One wonders what ironic sense of humor induced the instlgator of propagation to offer such 0 cash bounty to the women of his native land. After all, birth is an old feat. !. Reproduction on Q large scale has m ing but sheer physical stamina
 cad its case.
 vMore and more civilized people are realizing that the number of their children should be deter- mined by the amount of money which they can afford to invest in care and education. A child who is given proper equipment for liv- ing will be Q benefit to society just as Q child who is handicapped may prove . burden. The winner of the marathon certainly will be able to take care of her family.
 The runners-up, unless they are wealthy people, which isn't likely in most cases, are apt to have more children on their hands than they had bargained for when they took their vows.
 Big families are fun. Any man or woman reared in houseful of rollicking brothers and sisters, takes pleasure in recounting the adventures which he and his brothers ard sisters had in living. It is too bad that every family doesn't have ample money to make e home Q merry place of youth and laughter.
