Radcliff and chained him to his barn

Nary a flicker of laughter or dismay
showed on the frozen face of the
politician, as he responded:
you are absolutely right. What
you ought to do is to get Tydings on
his feet, along with Joe Robinson,
Pat Harrison and the rest of our good
men in Congress"

politician was outside doubled up In

Should Have Taken Ickes.
President Roosevelt's first regret upon
his return from his fishing trip was
that he had not taken Messrs. Ickes
and Hopkins with him this time.
Behind their tussle, now again being
widely advertised, Is a personal feeling
engendered by the fancy lobbying
activities OF Ickes for P. w. A. funds in
Congress.
Ickes did not have to take six Con-
gressmen out to live with him, as the
power lobbyist did. Nor did he have
to sit outside in the Senate lobby,
sending in his cards to Senators whom
he wished to influence. AS q cabinet
officer he has the privilege of the Sen
ate floor, although it may be related
that he never abused it by button
holing Senators at their desks publicly
in the presence of the galleries.
What he did was to 60 right into
the sanctum sanctorum of the Senate
marble room, the library which no out
slider is permitted to invade. Seeing
him there so frequently of late. some
Senators have commented among them
selves, and one Republican Senator
started a personal investigation to hnd
out what Ickes was doing to influence
Congress into voting P. W. A. expen-
oitures.
Would Change Name.
The only answer he was able to get
from Ickes' friends was that the cab
met officer was promoting q bill to
change the name of the Interior De-
partment.

Age has nothing to do with it
1t is just a comfortable old Gus
tom to take on weight as one
grows older instead of cutting
down on the load to lessen the
work of the muscles, heart and
other organs.
Although the weight charts re.
fleet the average tendency to gain,
after IS you are likely to live
longer and be healthier with less
weight. Fat is a load for you to
carry, and so pounds Of excess
puts Just as much a strain on your
system as would Juggling around
a 50-pound suitcase.
AS you grow older, such an ex-
cess becomes increasingly burden
some. You tire more easily and
are likely to wear out faster with
overweight. There is no guaran-
tee that a heart which takes care
Of $50 pounds can just as eff
GENTLY take care Of 210 pounds.
In general, overweights have a
mortality more than twice the
normal, and extreme overweightS
have a mortality about 13 times
the rate for underweights. AS
you grow older, it is better to err
on the side of too little rather
than too much weight.
Since the weight of the muscles,
organs and bones does not increase
with age, we should expect to find
the standard Of ideal weights de-
creaSing with advancing years.
Statistics show that a higher level
Of health goes with less weight,
and it has been proved that fat
does not keep company with old
age.
No weight chart can predict to
the pound how much you should
weigh. You do not need to con-
suit chart to discover that your
waistline is overlapping. that your
abdominal muscles have gone soft,
and that you creak when you bend
over.
When you begin to take on
weight, you are either eating too
much or getting too little physical
activity-probably both.
Unfortunately, the more weight
you accumulate, the less enthusi-
asm you have for exercise. and
the more you weigh. A cumber-
some body is difficult to move.
You hate to make any effort,
and like to sit around in big easy
chairs, preferably with foot rest
and that's no way to keep fit!
You need a moderate amount of
exercise, for a healthy physical
fatigue is essential to your well
being. Reverse what might be your
natural inclination; eat less and
take more exercise.
Go into your figure and health
program slowly. If you are headed
toward fair, fat and forty, perhaps
you need your doctors advice as
to how far you can go with exer-
else.
You cannot jump from seden-
tary existence in which high cal
orie foods have been your chief
interest to strenuous activity on
low-calorie foods. Take it easy,
and make the change gradually.

Menus" conform as nearly as is

CHRISTMAS DAY

Although the birth of Christ is the
event which is supposed to be celebrated
on Christmas, we are more and more in
clined, as a recent writer suggests, to
celebrate Santa Claus on December 20.
Certainly in the minds of most persons the
giving and receiving gifts holds larger
place than the holy event which the day
commentaries.
Christmas, customs and symbolism
are drawn from many sources, some OF
them of pagan origin. The date, Deem
Der 20, approximates that of certain an
cient festivals which were observed long
before the Christian. era, such as the
Roman Satufnalia, the Scandinavian Yule
the winter festival of the heather Britons,
and later, the Roman festival of the sun
god Mithra. This date was not incOr-
porated in the Christian calendar until
about the fourth or fifth century.
The Christmas tree is believed to
have been derived from the Egyptian use
of a palm branch of IL shoots to signify
the completed year, but it's present sig
nificance is thought to have originated in
Germany. The use of evergreen decora-
tions, particularly mistletoe, has been OBJ
served since the time of the pagan Druids
in Britain.
The sending of Christmas gifts may
be traced back to ancient Rome. This
custom is by no means universal, however,
and is almost unknown, in the Holy Land
and among Asiatic Christians generally.
Children of the Orient have no Santa
Claus.

100000 DEAD IN SPAIN

Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
chairman of the American Red Cross,
returned last week from Europe, where
he attended an international meeting of
the organization in Paris.
Admiral Grayson reports that $780,
900 persons are estimated to have been
killed since the revolution began in Spain.
Only small proportion of the dead were
slain in battle, the majority of the victims
falling to the executioners, put to work by
both sides in their frenzy
Undoubtedly the world is appalled, at
the picture in Spain, where black Moors,
the bulwark of the revolving army, battle
with the hastily organized militia of the
government. 1t is also plain that Ger
mans and Italians are engaged on the
Fascist side and Russians and some other
foreigners are fighting for the govern
ment.
The loss of life is one phase of the
strife but the total loss to the Spanish ma
ton and people will be measured for CEN
turtles to come regardless of the outcome.
However, let it be said for the govern
ment in office when the revolt broke out,
that the elected representatives of the
people did not precipitate the terrible
struggle. 1t was brought on by the rebel
and abetted by the conservative groups
which had been unable to regain power
through the ballot.

Boys should be. taught to think less of
fitting themselves for white collar" jobs,
says Prof. F. G. Nichols of Harvard, who
points out the greater opportunities for
promotion in industry than in clerical pur-
suits.
The young man who starts at the
bottom in factory often soon outdistances
one who begins say, as bookkeeper. The
idea is that while a clerk or bookkeeper
may have a white collar job from the very
first, the ambitious and intelligent indus
trial worker has better chance to rise to
an executive position, so that when he does
reach the white collar job it means some
thing worth while.
Advice along a similar line was given
by the late President Thatcher of the Mas.
sachusetts Agricultural College, who de-
Tended vocational schools against the re-
proach sometimes leveled against them by
the classical student. He declared 'the
idea is erroneous that vocational schools
are undignified because they work with
materials near at hand and not with a
knowledge of things that are ancient and
far off,
However, the proportion of white col
lar jobs is constantly increasing. With the
continued advent of new machines for do
ing the dirty work. of the world, the
time may come when nearly everyone may
have a white collar job.

these difficulties will be overcome. for
according to the experts the cotton

and will presumably be driven to the

viewed from this angle the coming OF
the mechanical cotton picker will be
regarded by many persons as nothing
short of national calamity.

establishments, involving hardship to
many people, its benefits will UNI
