ODDS FAVOR ROOSEVELT

Republican generals are optimistic in
public-but insiders say that all isn't cheer
and laughter when they meet in private.
The party has just emerged from the
leanest three years in its history. It's local
organizations are in almost incredibly bad
shape in many states, and they can't be
built up to the desired level in the few
months remaining before November And
the Democratic machine never functioned
more smoothly and efficiently than it is
now functiOning
On top of that, recent polls-such as
the Institute of Public Opinion's-show
that LandOn sentiment-which reached its
peak at convention time-is weakening,
that Roosevelt is leading and is tending to
slowly increase his lead.
Reports say WALL Street. betting
odds are lengthening in favor of Roose-
velt.

With the prospective sale of remain
ing Florida East Coast bridges between
Miami and Key West for highway pur-
poses Old-timers in Miami recall the days
before the Key West extension was built
and some of its early engineering plans
The original idea was for the railroad to
reach southwark from Cape Sable along a
route where the keys waters are said to be
exceedingly shallow. and where a sand
and rock grade could be thrown up at pos
sibly small expense. A storm changed the
original ideas of building a railroad along
that line after preliminary engineering
prints had been completed. 1t was be-
lieved more feasible to traverse the rocky
keys further east, where a more substantial
roadbed could be built. The possibility of
building southwark from Cape Sable how
ever, remains open for denomination by
engineers. but with small possibility of
future development. Rumor has it the Sea-
board Air Line once considered the project.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

I do about babies and children in the summer, and about those tired mothers who never see beyond the caves Of the houses across tho street.
 Money Not Only Help
 There are many ways by which we can help with the work. There is, for instance, our car for the day, or Q contribution to an emer- gency vacation fund. or gathering up an armful of youngsters for Q jaunt on trolley car.
 Where there is even the small fraction of Q will to help, there Is usually some way to do 1t; and pennies, by the way, are mighty things when they get together.
 Fresh air, sunshine, milk and Ice are usually mentioned in this summer movement to save the children. But how about beauty? Don't children starve for beauty too? Are clouds and creeks and trees, birds and butterflies to be heard about and never seen? What right have I to thrill alone over these wonders of creation, or to feel that Gods flowers are mine? None at oil. They belong to the world, and especially to the children.

The Forsythia Is gone, the flow- ering crab is out and lacy bridal- wreath caresses tho screen beside my desk. Out back lilacs wave their plumes: tulips and iris parade ct attention.
 Winter or summer am 50 thirsty for flowers that wherever I live there must be something growing, if 1t is only Q carrot in Q bottle or 6 sweet potato in Q pot.
 My chief ache for humanity is that 50 many have to live without them. And ct this time of the year, with all this lovelineSS about, Q shadow creeps over my sun. From my minds window I see narrow hot streets full of noise and gaso- line, children and babies In crarnp- ed doorways and city mothers who diSnly remember what the country is like, but without as much as Q dusty suInac to shed its blossoms.
 Remember the Living, Too
 In Q few weeks Memorial Day arrives with its tender ceremonies and tributes of flowers. On the  grave of the Unknown Soldier e wreath will lie. America will have paid its homage to the unforgot- ten dead.
 Ahead lies the heat of summer and the country will offer no re- spite for the very poor in cities. They, too, are fighting Q fight. And now we have another type of memorial to think about--one that brings to mind these living and should help them with their bat- ties.
 Vacation homes, outing farms and children's camps, all the var. aous organizations promoted and manned by humanitarians are al- ready well under way. In the last few years most of them have had to struggle to keep going, but let sis hope this year 1t will be better.

New York Apparently, long life end good health attend upon n1ar- riage, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Reports show that Snar- gied people register lower death rates from nearly all the import ant causes of death than do bach- eiors or spinsterg.
 The findings, the statigticlaiis point out, would be expected to emerge from any statistical study ofmortality according to C0njugal condition. Married persons COnsti- ute Q selected group since, as Q rule, "tfe lame that halt and the blind" do not marry. But the diner- erices between the respective death rates of welded and single persons are s6 large that they can be only partially explained by the factor of selection, and at would seem that the relatively staid and regular courses Of married life is more con- ducive to health than are the ccEll- comparative free and easy ways Of the unmarried.
 The United States bureau Of Cei1- gts does not compile its mortality reports according to marital status, and so the statigticianS have ob. tained this data from Canadian hcrtelity reports, where this status is noted. Since the customs, ways of living and general composition of the white population are essen. tially similar, the assumption is taken that the findings for Canada would apply equally to the United
 Among males over % years of age, the statisticians report, the standardized death rate for bache- lors ts 1,21e.2 per 100000 as com. pared with O66.o. for married men. This advantage in fAvor of the married extends through early manhood, manhood, middle age and old age.
 The standardized death rate for spinsters is 1,O30.l per 100000 as against OD0.0 for the married wo- men of oil ages. However, during the early part Of the chiidbearing period the special hazards to which married women are exposed tenn. porarily throw the advantage in favor of the single women.

 It is shown by the statisticians that In the age group--i6 to D. the death rate aongn married w0. men from ell causes is 3o6.6 per 100000 as compared with 260.0 for the single. "The adverse effects of 1natrimony upon the women ct this time of life," the statisticians ex. plain, "are reflected not only in the

death rate directly attributable to the puerperal status, but also in the relative mortality rates from such diseases as influenza, pneu- mOnia, tuberculosis and neuphritis, all oe which are made more haz- ardous by pregnancy"
 With the height Of the repro ductive period passed, however, the married women begin to have an advantage over the spinsters: 90, in the age group 25 to A4 the death rate for the former ls only 444.0, as compared with 45oO for the latter. It qs pointed out that the only time in life in which married per- sons do not enjoy Q definite ad- vantage in healthfulnegs over those who are single is the period under 26 years of age. As an explanation of this exception the statisticians say the marriage state has not ex- isted long enough to have exerated and profound cumulative influence one way or the other, and, besides, newly married couples do not make an immediate change in their way of living"
 This is shown by the fact that accidents, in the 26.4l age group, cause almost as high c mortality among bachelors and spinsters. Tn contrast, in later life accidents cause approximately twice as many fatalities among bachelors as among married men from 26 to % per cent higher mortality among spins ters up to 66. At the more advanced ages the difference in fatal aCci. dents in favor of married women is fully as great as that 3avoring men.
 Declaring that the unfavorahle effects of less regular ways of Mvs ing among the unmarried are re. fiected in the comparative death rates from Q number of important individual causes Of death, the statistiCiai1s say:
 sAll in all, lt seems that mar. riage is distinctly beneficial to the health of the individual. The mars ried persons life is better regulated with regard to sleeping hours, meals and recreation. Most husbands have . strong sense of responsibility to their families which makes them avoid condititions likely to impair their capacity ag wage.earners: they, therefore, shun known sources of infection and hazardous adven. lures. Moreover, married couples have Q Bolicitous regard for each others health which often illsures timely medical attention to condi- tions which, in single Individuals, are likely to be ignored until the danger is beyond repair"

Place on Menu Varies

In some parts of the country hostesses like to serve the salad immediately following the soup course, in some. as first course. In this case the salad acts as an appetizer and whets jaded appe- tites. Naturally, this type of salad must be piquant and not substan- tial. However, authorities on just how to do things seems to be agreed that the best place for the salad course is following the meat course in the dinner menu.
 Hearty salads are welcome for Sunday night suppers and noon luncheons. The combination of meat and vegetables is excellent and the following salars are nourishing and economical examples Of this type of salad.

WATERY SALADS ARE
 yUSTLY INExCUSABLE
By Mrs. Mary E. Dagus

Thank goodness, the cult of salad making is advancing. Time was when people did dreadful things to the noble green, but no more.
 To be quite perfect, salad greens should be thoroughly chilled and crisped and served without trace of water clinging to the surface. Therefore allow plenty of time to take care of the business properly. The wire salad baskets make for quick work but if you tie the greens loosely in Q big square of cheesecloth and swing vigorously you will ac- complish the same result.
