ONDON.-The crisis has passed
and the nation breathes again.
That is no figure of speech.
- Not since that August night in
1914 when we waited for the stroke Of
the hour that announced peace or war
has there been so tense q public emo
ton as that with which the decision
Of King Edward was awaited Thurs
day evening in Parliament, in clubs, in
the streets and in millions Of house
holds gathered about wireless receivers.
There was doubt up to the last mo-
ment. For q week the issue had been
in balance and the battle behind the
scenes and the battle in the press had
put an unbearable strain upon popular
feeling. The city was paralyzed. Great
Christmas trade collapsed. Prepara-
tions for the coronation were in chaos.
The whole future of constitutional
government was in the melting pot.
Not since Helen's face Launched q

mighty convulsion about q woman as
that which centered in the fate Of
Mrs. Simpson and her royal lover.
Abdication Anticipated.
News Of the abdication broke the
intolerable tension. It was expected
because, as the struggle proceeded, 1t
was seen to be the only solution that
could save the nation from prolonged
trouble and incalculable dangers. The
intense sympathy that was felt for
King Edward in his personal capacity
became subordinated to growing alarm
at the perils Of continuance OF this
domestic crisis In the midst Of world
trembling on the brink Of war. Even
the popular press, which had frenzied-
ly espoused the Kings cause. began
to scent danger, and Lord Rother-

was married in 1890 to his first cousin,

state and Of regionalism for France.
He sums matters up: Democracy lives
from day to day. Dictatorship thinks

The violence and absurdities OF

exists that the Croix de Feu Is for

Right Exercise
Very Beneficial
BY DR.. Frank Mccoy

IN these days when mental work
yields so much greater return
than physical work, it is especially
important to urge upon brain
workers the necessity for vigor-
Gus exercise. The one who works
sitting down all day certainly re-
quires special exercises taken
during the leisure hours. How
ever, exercise is also beneficial
for the housewife, whose daily
tasks tend to make her stoop-
shouldered. She may believe that
her usual work insures enough
exercise, but she should realize
that most of this exercise is of
the wrong kind to produce SYM
nletrical figure and that there is a
particular need for her to balance
such activity by taking special
exercises.
Exercise is of great value to the
one desiring either an abundance
IF health, or youthful, well-de-
veloped figure. Exercise is the
best medicine for preventing the
stiffness and figure faults which
make the body appear old long
before the natural time. In fact,
| see no way III which the human
body can retain its optimum de-
velopment without exercise of
some kind, as long as so much of
he body is made up of muscular
tissue. The primary requirement
of a muscle is that it be used and
with lack of use it becomes soft
and fabby.
The right kind of exercise,
taken regularly, will produce the
following benefits: it will insure
more perfect assimilation of food;
produce a better appetite; i'm
prove digestion and elimination;
speed up the circulation of the
blood; bring about a better COM
plexion keep the body flexible;
and will also have a desirable ef-
feet on the nerves. Exercise of
the right kind will replace that
tired feeling with strength, and
will also have a vitalizing effect.
Certain exercises which develop
the abdominal muscles will also
bring the coveted reward of
greater endurance.

During the past 10 years Cystex has
helped restore vigorous Kidney func-
tion and thereby increased vitality,

sufferers throughout the world. More
than 5 million people have used 1t.
Former sufferers throughout the

And over 500 doctors have taken the
time to write praising reports of
Cystex. For instance, DR.. c. u. Rem

nee upon a time there was
Oa senator = once upon a

I've always wanted to start a
story that way. I've thought and

Ject on which I would dare reach

Senator Lensell, mythical politi-
cal figure who has always lived
and will never die. The story
opens in Washington. and it all
happened, well-once upon a time.

for was not he a man of the peo-

America. A nationally, even inter-

I SUDDENLY realized the other
day that there is special kind
of manners involved in every
phase of our modern life.
What got me started on all this
is radio manners! Do you know
family, as l do, that insists on
playing the radio at any and all
times of the day or night? Each
member of the family, and there
are five of them, has his favorite
radio program, and everything in
the house has to stop until the
program is finished.
One night last week ! went on
a matter of business to see the
head of the family. | arrived al
the house an hour or so after
dinner and Mr.. Fremont was
waiting for me in the library.
Rather to my surprise, the two
sons, aged about 10 and IL, were
also waiting Mr. Fremont intro
duced them to me and explained
that they were listening to their
favorite radio program. The four
of us waited while we heard all
about the adventures of some
brave soul who faced a fate worse
than death. This went on for 25
minutes.
AS soon as the program was
over the boys excused themselves
and left the room. ! had just be-
gun explaining my problem to
Mr.. Fremont when the daughter
of the house came in. After her
introduction she went over to the
radio, fused with the dials for
q moment and settled down to
hear the latest Hollywood gossip.
To her fathers suggestion that
she might wait until we were
through she started to pout and
whine until / said that l did not

had known Mr. Fremont for some
years, and had met his wife at
several political affairs. / had
thought them both good citizens
who would bring up their children
to mind their manners and be a
credit to the community. Instead,
here was Mr.. Fremont, a man
who during the day commanded
the attention of jurists and lay
men alike, allowing his children
to be nuisances.
Now / think radio is an excel
lent thing. BUT, / do think that
it has its place, as have all other
forms of amusement. If the
children must listen to their fav-
orite programs at an hour when
older people wish to read or visit,
then good plan is to buy them a
small inexpensive radio that they
can have in their own rooms.
There are several small makes
that will fit the most demanding
purse.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-08
Radio Listeners Should
Show More Consideration

Some years ago, radios were
large, expensive affairs that de-
manded a great many wires and
plugs and aerials. In those days
we had only one, and it was al
most as expensive and demanding
as a child Now we can have, for
less money than was paid for the
first one, four different radios in
the house, and while none of them
is perfect, they all serve the pur-
pose. The children have one in
the nursery, there is one in the
kitchen, the best one is in the
living room and 1 have one in my
bedroom. If the program of the
moment does not suit a member
of the family, off he goes to a
radio where he can listen to his
own choice.
An excellent plan, and really
not an expensive one!

porters throughout the country,
for the senator's speech had
swayed the Senate once more
and the repeal measure was
overwhelmingly defeated. Senator
Lensell greeted them all with a
hearty handshake and an appre-
ciative, kindly smile. He looked
a little weary as he waved fondly
to them from the observation
platform-weary. but happy in
victory.
A shiny black limousine was
waiting for Senator Lensell at
the Pennsylvania Station when he
reached New York, and he was
whizzed across town to the Hotel
New Yorker. He did not register
at the desk, but proceeded at
once to the 4Sth floor and
knocked on the door of 1910. The
door was thrown open and a
group of smiling men rushed to-
ward the senator with out
stretched hands.
Congratulations, Senator
Senator, you were masterful."
"A sweeping victory for the
cause, Senator"
Let me congratulate you, Sem
ator Lensell."
The door of room 4810 closed
on Senator Lensell, champion of
the people, of America, of democ-
racy.
Here, have a drink, Senator.
Just off the boat" The man
winked slyly at Senator Lensell
as he poured drink.
A MOTHER man stepped for
~ ward and from a brief case
very similar to the one which had
carried Senator LenselPs speech
to the Senate the day before, ex-
tracted four neatly wrapped
packages of United States cur
rency.
And here's tangible reward,
Senator, one hundred grand. And
a small bit it is for your good
work. If it hadn't been for your
staunch support, Senator. we
might all be looking for a new
racket in the not too distant fu-
ture." He hesitated, smiling a lit
tie whimsically. "Bootlegging-
maybe it's not a pretty word, but
it buys our yachts, our limousines,
our estates on Long Island and
our winter homes in Florida and
the Riviera. Prohibition, the
great and noble experiment of a
great and noble people'-ha-ha-!
Senator, you were magnificent.
Here, let's drink to prohibition"
Senator Lensell transferred the
currency to his own brief case
and took the brimming glass pro-
ferred him.
ITO prohibition" someone said.
And with the Lensell smile on
his face, the senator, champion
of the people, Of America, of de-
mocracy, drank the toast.
