WASHINGTON, May 10. - DR.
Francis E. Townsend told the chief
lieutenant of his $200-a-month pen
sion drive that you and I have the
world by the tail on a downhill pull
and that there would be "a hatful
of money" for those who stood by
the movement, the House Townsend
inquiry revealed today.
DR.. Townsend was also revealed
as calling attention to the fun
which he said had developed over
the filters that some of the con-
greSsmen are in" over the Townsend
plan.
The elderly physicians statement
was culled from a letter he wrote
Robert E. Clements, describing plans
for expansion of the Townsend
Weekly, organ Of the pension drive.
Correspondence Is Quoted
DR.. Townsend was also revealed
as seeking to establish militant
third party in an effort to defeat
Republican and Democratic oppon-
ents.
you and I have the world by the
tail on a downhill pull, Earl, if we
handle it right" DR.. Townsend's let
ter read. The physician added that
there would be "a hatful of money
for those who stayed"
The disclosures were made before
a crowded committee room includ-
ing some 40 members of a Town
send transcontinental caravan.
Prior to introduction of the cor
respondence, DR.. Townsend denied
having called supporters of the
pension scheme "old fossils" or
starting the drive for motives OF
"cold cash."
Opposes Entangling Alliances
DR.. Townsend, his correspondence
revealed, urged that national
Townsend Weekly be started in
Washington where it is possible
to maintain supervision of both
Senators and congressman and learn
their characteristics and particular
leenings."
He said he had no doubt that
funds to finance the paper would
be Forthcoming from Townsendites
However, if their funds did not suf-
flee, he knew where the fund could
be supplemented
IT do not like the idea, however, -
DR.. Townsend wrote, "of entangling
alliances. We have had enough of
them"
After DR.. Townsend admitted his
authorship, a series of letters he ex-
changed in 1885 with Mr.. Clements,
resigned secretary treasurer of tbs
movement. was introduced.
Still Favors Third Party
DR.. Townsend spoke of going tc
Arizona to help the people recall
their two Senators"
DR.. Townsend wrote that the
"only recourse we have" until a
third party is formed is to support
favorable candidates Of the major
parties and advised Townsendites TO
enter actively on congressional
campaigns.
II still feel third party is our
only salvation" DR.. Townsend told
the committee.

Insolvable Problems.

pY AN insolvable problem mean
one that will remain with you,
no matter what you do about it.
Nearly every one has a few such
problems in the course of lifetime.
The normal reaction to an insolvable
problem is to accept it as such and
20 about something else.
Unfortunately, good many persons
react abnormally in the face of in
solvable problems. And such per-
sons may deviate from the normal
reaction in three different ways. Route
No. leads to what is called neuras-
thenia, which is the scientific name
for exhaustion. The neurasthenic
draws apart from society and broods.
He may become completely oblivious
to his surroundings.
Route No. Q leads to what Is called
hysteria, which is the scientific name
for violent outbursts of temper. In
the course of time, the hysteriac may
develop phobias and obsessions which
lead to unwarranted attacks upon in
nocent persons Hysteriacs usually
changes their ideas and fears from
day to day.
Route No. 3 leads to what is known
as fanaticism, which Is characterized
by suspicion and mistrust. Fanatics
develop fixed ideas which they will
not change, despite all proof that
they should do so. Dangerous lunatics
are developed in this fashion.

put on the shelf. Nobody cares
whether she is married or single. If
she is clever, entertaining and anus
ing, as so many girl bachelors are, she
is sought-after figure in society.
Nor is she the ragged fringe on some
relatives family She sets up her own
apartment and comes and goes as she
pleases and is one of the most inde-
pendent and carefree people on earth.
BLESSING No. is that all the doors
~ of opportunity in the wide world
have been flung open to women and
the only limit to what they can get and
have is their own abilities. All of the
fruit of the Tree of knowledge is
theirs for the gathering. Every occu-
patton, every profession is free to them.
No longer do they have to knit pink
baby socks or bake cakes to earn a
little pin money. They can be Sena-
tors and scientists, educators and law
yers, steeplejacks and bulfighters,
bank presidents and stylists. They
can make fortunes and lose them just
as men do.
Blessing No is that life is so much
more interesting to women than 1t
used to be, and that is the greatest
blessing of all. In the past, women, as
a rule, had little education and that
made them dull companions even for
themselves. Their range of interests
was narrow and mostly confined to
their homes and their neighbors, so
all they knew and had to talk about
was their husbands, their children,
their servants, the price of butchers
meat, and how late the Jones boy
stayed when he came to call on the
Smith girl of an evening. Few women
read. Fewer still Travelled. Women's
clubs were mostly confined to reform
ing things and missionary societies.
There we're no automobiles, no movies,
and, outside of large cities, little social
life. Dull as dishwater.
But now women are on their tiptoes
everywhere. They are in politics.
They are keen on sports. They buy
most of the books and take most Of
the magazines. They furnish most Of
the globe-trotters. And they are up
on everything from mandates to the
latest rule in contract. You won't find

So Aunt Martha raised a child's

them accordingly. To those who are
ill-mannered, they return Ill manners,

I have little patience with the

I have seen children in hot anger

Especially for us modern women.
When We feel like sitting down and
complaining that we are treated like
stepchildren it is good thing to count
over our blessings and see how much
better of we are than our grand
mothers were. They, poor ladies, had
something to cry over, what with
incessant child-bearing and child
burying (the rows of baby graves in
old cemeteries is the most pathetic
thing on earth), and weaving and
cooking and sewing and scrubbing and
doing the million other chores that
| fell to the lot of the pioneer woman.
Housework was work in those days.
Grandmother had no hundred elec-
trical servants to take the hard labor
off of hands. She had no vacuum
cleaner, no mechanical refrigerator, no
electric lights, no gas range, no patent
washing machine. She had to bend
her back over the laundry tub and the

and clean the lamps, instead of pushing

Blessing No. 2 is that no girl of today

Nowadays no girl need marry unless

and dust. She does not have to marry
for support because she can make
her own living, thank you, and provide
