Gail had not been able to un-
derstand that. She had needed
her mother. Of course there was
old Martha, the housekeper. Many
a time Martha had stopped hel
work to listen to the child's ques'
tions, to try to answer them and
to ioin, rather clumsily, in Calls
play. When she did this Martha
would stop frequently, dabbing al
her wrinkled face with handker'

Gail herself had been too young
at her mothers death to miss hel
for any length of time. And soon
she was big enough to go to school
Then Martha had grown too old
to do the Homework and had gone
to her cottage on Cape Cod. BY
the time Gail was i'm her teens she
was travelling all over the country
with her father, enjoying the
carefrec hours camping wherever
he, an artist, wished to stop to
paint.
Her education - there was nc
denying it-had been rather hap
hazard. Gail had gone to thirteen
schools i'm as many states. When
she was 16 her father decided to

in a boarding school. She had

she had met Miss Cranston. a
friend Of her mothers. she stilled
her rebel heart. After all, the sep
aration from her father was to be
only for a few months. When va
cation time arrived she'd be with
him again.

a woman at her elbow cried, My,
but that was narrow shave!
Gail looked around and saw the
frightened face of a boy, with the
hand of the man who had pulled
him back from certain death still
clutching his shoulder. The sight
startled her. She thought of her

PART OF THE GAME

Practical politicians on both sides
seem never to have objected much
to such a procedure, considering it
part of the game for the lin"
party to hold its election staff as
nearly as possible intact by that
means.
They work without Government
pay. Salaries are paid from head
quarters campaign funds. They
don't stand to lose by resigning
Government posts. If their party
wins the election they will get
their jobs back If the party loses,
they wouldn't have the jobs any
way.
Leaves have been granted even
in foreign fields to permit Ambas-
sailors and others to share in the
campaign. Ambassador w. C. Bull
lit came from Moscow, and al
ready is in that field
Frank Murphy, Philippine High
Commissioner, is another, but he
has a somewhat different role in
his campaign for election as Gov
ernor of Michigan. His leave begins
September and ends November 5,
after the election, in time for his
return to the Philippines if he is
defeated.

Put on for Antlered

There may sometime be bigger
and better pageants than the one
held in Los Angeles during the
Elks' convention, but Postmaster
Albert Vile will be hard to con-
vince. Bar none, the electrical
pageant held in the mighty Los
Angeles outdoor amphitheatre was
the best yet, the Postmaster re-
ported. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars were expended in prepar-
ing the floats and general exhibit
zion, he reported, and 10000 jam
med into the big stadium to see
them.
Features of the event, Mr.. Vile
reported, were movie stunt experts
revealing just how they make pic
lures and get the thrills in that
one sees on the screen. 1t was an
education as well as a spectacular
spectacle, he said.
Los Angeles opened wide the
gates of hospitality, the Postmaster
reported, and every Elk was shown
the. time of his life. Great motor
trips through the Southern Cali
fornia district were arranged, and
there was something doing every
minute.
1T was a gala occasion from
start to finish" Mr.. Vile said, land
l wouldn't have missed it for a
million. It was the greatest show
l ever saw"
The Postmaster visited at var
ious California points and met sew

THE National Geographical Society could not have

In 1884 the party captured Pennsylvania for the
first time in 40 years, eecting sociate, wealthy but
humane George H. Earle Governor. 1t defeated the
Ware, Grundy Mellon political machine, which was
something, considering the Republicans had the
money majority of the newspapers and were able
to buy more time on the radio

for the convention is trife. Perhaps the national

For Roosevelt to be re-nominated in Philadelphia

ADVICE UNHEEDED

. EP ROBERT F. RICH of Pennsylvania who
~ protested at the opening of Congress that the
President should be heard only in broad daylight
apparently was untouched by an unkind thrust from
Rep. John O'Connor last session.
Mr.. Rich had just given another demonstration
of obstructionism when Mr.. O'Connor rose to quote
from Jefferson's Manual the following passage On
Parliamentary Method of silencing a Tedious
Member:
IF member finds that it is not the inclination
of the House to hear him it is his most prudent
way to sit down; for it scarcely ever happens
that they are guilty of inattention to member
who says anything worth their hearing"

ANSWERING AN ARGUMENT

THE Supreme Court, in saving an Oklahoma gas
company from rate reductions, has put crimp
in one of the stock arguments agaisnt New Deal
utility measures.
The industry has spent much time in the last
year praising state regulation an all-wse, all
powerful protector of consumer and investor.
The tragedy Of this is that none of it is neces-
saIy" said Philip Gadsden, chairman of the Com
mittee of Public Utility Executives in opposing the
Federal Holding Company Act "All of the As states
have the power to regulate operating companies
Regulation is not what the sponsors of this
bill desire" In hundred different keys this theme
song has been sung in the last year.
The Administration answer is summed up in
Federal Trade Commission report to Congress:
Comparatively few states have adopted any thor
ough-going policy or system of utility regulation
Those which have done so have encountered in
superabe difficulties growing out of constitutional
limitations. economic developments and the attitude
of the industry and the courts"
And now the Supreme Court has supplied little
more evidence to bear out this statement

THE RAILROAD RECORD

T~HIRTY-SIX thousand four hundred persons
l. killed in motor vehicle accidents in 1885 and
not one railroad passenger killed. That is an i'm
pressive record for the railroads
From Harry Guy Taylor, chairman of the West
ern Association of Railway Executives in Chicago,
comes the word that 1885 was the first year in rail-
road history in which passenger had been killed.
One of the remarkable accomplishments of rail-
reading during the depression has been the main
tenance of way and equipment and the morale of
the tranmen, yardmen and shop workers. OBJ
servant persons who have travelled much by rail
must have been surprised that there was no notice
able let down in performance among the workers.
Service was curtaied here and there but the orderly
routine of safety followed almost automatically
1t is fair to the trainmen and executives to point
out that while the country took to repeal with
zest that produced intoerable number of drunken
drivers it did not affect safe railroading How many
passengers have detected signs of liquor train
man Since repeal? very few, believe
The record of 1885 is credit to the men who
operate the American railroads.
