Home Heating
Hints By John Barclay
- kaEKE&S Heating Expert
Avoid Unhealthy Dry Air-Keep
Radiator Humidifier Pans
Filled With Water.
E~S&

M ANY winter colds are caused
1NA by hot, dry air in the home
while the season for burning the
furnace is on. Heat, of course,
absorbs the moisture in the air.
This hot air also dries out and
damages furniture.
You can easily and inexpensively
provide for air-moisture by keep
ing a pan humidifer,' or hot
water pan, filled with water in
each room of your home. Designed
to hang out of sight on the backs
of radiators, these pans furnish
water that can be evaporated by
the radiator heat and provide mois-
ture for the air in the rooms. This
prevents the air from becoming
too dry and lessons the chance of
catching or spreading colds.
Warm air heating plants are
equipped with humidifier pans. All
you have to do is to keep them
filled with fresh water.

WHY not start your spring sew
w at-home program now and
"avoid the rush?" Those who are
in a position to know declare that
women are turning back to the art
of sewing at home with an enthu-
siasm such as has not been mani
fest for years. Make-it-yoursef
clothes are not only a sure means
of self expression, these enthusiasts
say, but they offer the best answer
to being really we'll dressed on a
limited budget.
And there's the new spring fab
rics! 'Nuff said No further argu-
ment is needed. So here's taking
a look toward the new materials.
Such ravishing colors, subtle tex
tures and glorified patternings as
the spring prints, the cottons, the
linens, the piques, the gabardines,
the shantungs, the silks, the Satins
and so on ad infinitum are flaunt-
ing is enough to entice anyone into
bringing home rolls of yardage, and
it follows like the night the day that
you will eagerly and without delay
be joining the sewing-bee clan.
Of course when one starts in to
do spring sewing the really sensible
thing is to tackle the simplest gar
mentS first, made of inexpensive
wash materials. So let's betake
ourselves to the wash goods Sec

way of pretty prints or what have

novel, so amusing and SO irresist-
ably likable The best of it is, if
you ask for the right kind you can
get materials that are guaranteed
against shrinking and that's some
thing not to be lightly considered.
The new cottons and linens and
other wash prints run the gamut
of design from sportsy little designs
for house, active sports and spec
tator wear to gorgeous multicolored

that smartly new fabrics that wash

as shown. This is a broad-shoul-

CHANCELLOR HITLER, as was

more clauses of the Versailles

England Would Check Our
Neutrality Legislation

4 WALTER RUNCIMAN, prest.
L n dent of the British board of
trade, ended his visit at the White
House. which President Roosevelt
had said was to be merely social,
he told the press that he and the
President had agreed in principle
on a reciprocal tariff treaty. Later
it was revealed that his main pur-
pose in coming to the United States
was to head off, if possible, the
proposed neutrality measure under
which Great Britain, if involved in
war, would be unable to purchase
war supplies in this country. 1t
was reported that he told Mr.. RooSe-
welt that if such legislation were
passed England would not enter into
a reciprocal tariff treaty, and be-
sides would buy her supplies, in
peace time as well as in war time,
in other countries.

So far little is known of it except
that it will cover minimum wages
and maximum hours and outlaw
child labor. Probably it will also
include the licensing features con-
siderably modified.
Some officials in Washington re-

doing business in interstate COM
merce to obtain federal licenses
which would include stipulations on
wages and hours of employees and
prohibit the use of child labor.
But actually the bill would 60
much farther, including almost ev-
cry reform in labor relations, trade
practices, and corporation structure

A more sweeping, drastic, and all
inclusive proposal could hardly be
drafted. 1t was warmly indorsed
by the American Federation of La
bor.
The O'Mahoney bill would vest
the licensing power in the federal
trade commission, enlarging the
present board of five members to
nine. 1t was thought likely that
the Richberg draft would eliminate

Quick Relief with
2 Bayer Aspirin Tablets

The modern way to ease a cold is
this: Two Bayer Aspirin tablets the
moment you feel a cold coming on.
Repeat, if necessary, in two hours. If
you also have a sore throat due to
the cold, dissolve 3 Bayer tablets in
q glass of water and gargle with this
twice. The Bayer Aspirin you take
internally will act to combat fever,
aches, pains which usually accompany
a cold. The gargle will provide almost
instant relief from soreness and raw
ness of your throat. Your doctor, we
feel sure, will approve this modern
way. Ask your druggist for genuine

The MASTER POLITICIAN

THE RISE Of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the highest
office of the land has cauisd historians and writers to specu
late on the contributing factors to his success. The late Col
Louis McIIenry Howe was one of the Presidents early hackers
to whom credit was given for the Roosevelt victory in 1892. In
the recent campaign, much Of the credit has gone to James A.
Farley, Postmaster General and head of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee
While not trying TO minimize the part these men ana
other able assistants pla3d in putting Roosevelt over the pub
Tic, we would like to observe that the President himllf is a
master politician and is probably the btst executive at direct
appeals to the public this country has had in recent years. Mr.
Roosevelt likes nothing better than to make a gesture such as
that made last week when he entertained an ex-slave at the
White House.
Upon hearing that William Andrew johnson, 9year old
former servant of President And3ew johnson, had expressed a
desire to again visit the White House, the President saw an OPP
portunity to crafty this desire and sent a Secret Service mess
enohr to bring tn Negro TO visit him. This human gesture on the
part Of the President did not mean anything to the Negro group
as citizens and yet it demonstrated the famed Roosevelt spirit
Of f~rendiness and proved good publicity. That particular story
was probably published in more papers than any story ON the
Presidents plan to increase the membership ofthe Supreme
Court.
It only bears out that the President is himself a master pol
itical strategist. Those who oppose him are depending too much,
we think. on putting before the public in cold logical reasoning
ments their position, which in this fashion makes dull reasoning
The occasional personal and human touch as President hoose-
welt has demonstrated is what makes the difference between

Passing Views
By William Pickens

Organized labor is reported to
be planning a "march" on Con-
gress to press them into turning
the Supreme Court over to Mr..
Roosevelt. Many times in human
history the masses of men have help
ed to destroy their own liberties.
1t is dangerous to grasp a present
good at the risk of eternal losses;
to fulfill a present desire, heed
less of tomorrow. Mr.. Roosevelt
may be a relatively safe man to
be given so much d~ictatorial power
but who knows what sort of a
human animal will follow Roose-
welt four years from today? Or if
they make Roosevelt dictator for
life, how long may a life like his
last,-and who next?
The American people, dumb as
many of them are, will more safely
keep dictatorial powers in their own
hands, changing their own con-
stitution when and if they can get
majority to do So rather than to
allow Roosevelt or anybody else to
dictate changes in basic law throu-
