Der how they said they would not
accept an invitation to stop with
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt and spoke

PUBLICITY.

News Item
"COl. Charles A. Lindbergh
and his family, who left this
country suddenly, supposedly
to make their home in Europe,
will return in three months and
continue to live in the United
States"
So that's that!
If 7 were a member Of Con
RreSS trying to save the nation
and my own skin, on the floor
of the House or the Senate, I'd
hate every man and woman IN
the Press Galleries.
I'd act like 1 loved them all
But I'd hate 'em.
Dear Constant Glancer Che con-

You mentioned in a letter to
day that you were interested in
the Republican Slogan Contest
which began in the Hoover era
with "A Chicken in Every Pot
and developed in this column &c
"A Mink Coat on Every Hanger
This second magnificent thought
was later amended with the in
spiration of Mr.. A. Walter Collier
to "A Chicken in Every Mink
Coat" I must refer you to MI
Collier before 7 further alter the
thought to your agreeable 1oea
"For Every Chicken-At Least
One Mink Coat"
President Roosevelt'S speech in
the House Of Representative
after thoughts.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
Ambassador, sat with his hands
cupped behind his ear so ne
wouldn't miss a phrase. =,
The British Empire was well
represented in the Diplomatic
Gallery-the Minister from the
irish Free state and the Minister
from South Africa also were pres
ent. But no representatives OF
italian, French or japanese gov
ernments were there to hear the
Presidential thought on neutrality
Certain susceptible ladies in one
gallery couldn't decide who was
handsomer, President Roosevelt
ar Secretary Of State CordeL
fIuIl. The Presidential profile, the
ladies thought, was better than
the Presidential full face. The
Presidential personality had los'
none Of its magnetism.
Cordell Hull looked great ans
&ocrat, the ladies said. He had
Sino features and the long lines
of good breeding. His face was
aerene. When he was seated he
was relaxed completely. He didn't
twiddle his fingers or scratch ms
ear az did Bertrand H. SneIl' tne
House minority leader.
Another question caused some
conversation among the suScep
tible ladies. Who sent the teml
nine members Of Congress thel1
orchids? Were the orchids worn
at the evening session the same
orchids that decorated the morn
ing session? Did they rest between
times in q proper tcebox?
It was noticed while Mr.. RooSe
welt was speaking that Represen
tative j. Will Taylor, Of Tennessee
was chewing freely and sat with
his feet propped on the top OF the
seat ahead.
Representative Tinkham, thu
big game hunter with the double
whiSkers, chewed with more re
Straint and sat on one foot.
"Ready.made dresses" de-
clareS The Consumer, magazine
Of the Consumers Division, "sat-
isfactOriIy fit only about half Of
the women in this country. The
dress manufacturer still gueSSeS
and ideaIizes about the WOman'S
figure with the result that
clothes are made chiefly for
women under 20 years Of age.
Only One-third of the women
over As can wear ready-made
clothes without alterations"
Such a confession at the begin
ming of Leap Year is distressing
Particularly since a recent is
sue of Mems Wear Magazine de
clares ardently:
"The emphasis for formal
