Periodically, Bruce Catt0n's
 Book g Day column is turned over
 to Olive Roberts Barton, famed
 child training expert, for . re-
 view of the latest and best books
 for children. Here is another of
 her authoritative articles.
 By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
 A helpful book has been written which mothers, taxed for party and rainy-day ideas, may well greet with pleasure. The work, "101 Things for Little Folks to Do," by Lille B. and Arthur 0. North (Lippincott: $2), is replete with illustrations and easy instructions.
 Everything appears to be included, from the drawing of faces and cir- cular cats, to weaving baskets; chil- dren are told how to make pottery, things out of paper and cork and. finally, bathtub-size speedboat that will run! The book is designed for juveniles to figure out for them selves, but, if they are under read ing age, it will be grand guide for their parents.
 "Nicodemus and Petunia" Out ton: SD, is the latest hand-size book in the long popular Inez Hogan series for the very young. In it, the little colored boy finds a lively new playmate in Petunia, who gets into trouble when she tries to fly.
 A slim, beautiful book for chill dren 8 little older is Princess Elizabeth and Her Dogs," by Michael Chance (Dutton: $l), containing 25 informal photographs of the new royal family at home. They have eight dogs. Princess Elizabeth's own small thatch-roofed house, given her. by the people of Wales on her sixth birthday, provides the setting. The volume is as charm ing as these very natural little girls themselves.
 There is infallible er-interest for the 9-to-l2 year old, in the story of the child in a circus. All the ex- citement of the Big Top has been put into Circus Ring" (Putnam: $2), by Mary Grant Bruce, an author who knows her subject.
 The story of the disappolntments and perseverance of young Hugh Russell in realizing his dream Of be- coming Q performing rider, wisely shows a circus career not as glitter ing enchantment. but as m exact- ing life requiring high moral cour- age and solid common sense. Hugh'G fraends-Jeif, the cowboy who trains him; Mickey and Joey. the clowns: Nita, his small partner on the pony tuzns and Mrs. Dan. who mothers him-are sterling characters who strengthen the sharp reality os tie Istory.

If President Franklin D. Roosevelt takes his contemplated trip to the Philippines he will rate as the most travelled president this country has ever had. We mean, naturally, travelling while holding office. Other presidents travelled extensively before or after their term in office. President Roosevelt, however, believes in keeping on the move. He has fought shy of Europe, for which we may be thankful.

Security Pension Lost

The "first beneficiary" of the social security act fails to benefit, and incl dentally he and millions of other people earn something. Ernest Alderman, a Cleveland street car motorman, was born on Jan. 2. 1872. Thus, he figured, he was 66 years old and eligible for an old age pension on Jan. of this year, the day hfter the security act went into effect. Hc earned @4.06 on Jan. 1.

had used them as tools, and for the first time they had discovered their mistake. Roosevelt had giv- en them relief and WPA jobs on the same terms with the white man, and they were for Roosevelt. Ancient Tradition
 Now get the full significance of this.
 This occurred in the first state to secede from the Union, in the state where the first shot of the Civil was was fired. Just a few miles from this historic and now thriving city of Anderson was the home of James L. Orr, who signed the ordinance of secession in 1861.
 Here also lived the great states man and champion of states rights in regard to slavery, John c. Calhoun. Not far away is the grave of General Bernard E. Bee who, watching a Confederate of ficer during the battle of Bull Run, said: Look, men, there stands Jackson like 9 stonewall." There- after he was Stonewall Jackson. Democratic Split
 It would be @ mistake to think that by the opening of the demo- cratic campaign chest to Negroes, their social or economic status in South Carolina will now be changed. Nor will their political status; they still cannot vote.
 But this innovation does rep- resent an extremely important move toward Q split now < de- veloping within tho democratic party, not only in South Caro- lima but i'm the rest of the South, perhaps throughout the nation. It is the split between the, Liberal Radicals on one hand and the Conservatives on the other. It is the issue be. tween the pr0-Supreme Court ists and the Supreme Court re. formists. 1t is the question asked for some time-particu- larly during these days of Franklin Roosevelt - Can the democratic party stay to- gether?"
 In South Carolina, where the roots of old-fashioned democracy go as or deeper than in any state the question is worth watching.
 Here have developed two rival factions, both under the tradi- tional democratic" label, but con- trasting as sharply as the history laden hills around this city con- trast with the 21 modern cotton mills, the miles of paved roads, and the high-powered transmits sion lines running down from Portrlan Shoals, which have giv- en Anderson the nickname of the Electric City"
 Ed vS. OIin
 Leaders of the two factions are two clashing personalities. One is Governor Olin Johnston, for- mer cotton millhand, sergeant in the army, 80 years old, one of the youngest governors in the country and leader of the liberal demo- crats.
 Around him have gathered
 several live-wire leaders, among
 them 33-year old Wilton E. Hall,
 astute leader of CharIest0wn's
 turbulent politics, serene and
 modest newspaper publisher of
 Anderson. All have come up
 from the ranks and all are CT.
 dent Rooseyeltiams.
 Leader of the other faction is Senator "Cetten Ed" Smith, plan- tation owner, 73 years old. elected to the South Carolina legislature the year Governor Johnston was born. second to Boraia in seniority in the D. 6. senate. violent oppon ent to almost everything Roose- velt has done, and representative of the old, cotton ayist0cFacy of the South.
 These two wiil come to grips next year when Gov. Johnston

declared that the banking-stock promoting groups staged Q sit- down strike against the enforce ment of the Securities and Ex- change Act of 1888 by refusing to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission as the law prescribed. The statement, natur- ally, has been denied. Justice Pe- cora obviously was talking through his hat. Bankers and brokers do not strikel They just don't obey the law as the record shows beyond contradiction they did not. Sunday Father Coughlin, in one of the most telling broad- casts he has ever made, declared that the real sit down strikers in Michigan were not the autonlo- bile workers in Detroit but the state legislators in Lansing who instead of enacting laws to safe- guard and ensure human rights were discussing the legalization of dog racing in the state and ig- noring such trifiing matters as maximum hours of employment and minimum rates of pay.

 Both gentlemen are, by their past efforts, to be viewed askance. Justice Pecora served as counsel to the Senate Banking and Cur rency Committee Investigating stock and banking racketeering four years ago. It was largely due to his inquisitorial pick-and- shovel work which resulted in the passage of the Securities Act and the Securities and Exchange Act which has, to a degree, put a tenn porary crirnp in the noble business of snaring stock market suckers. Father Coughlin's crusade for so- cial justice has been making financial and industrial faces req for years. But there were other sit-down strikers which neither the judge nor the priest men toned.

That there can, and should be, equal place for property and hue man rights in our scheme of things Governor Murphy made clear in an address before the Holy Name Society of Detroit on Sunday:
 .Firmly persuaded as I am of the need of directing our le- gitimate and lawful efforts to- ward the advancement of those larger interests which are com monly known as human rights cannot divest myself of the conviction that personal liberty will be of little value to our people if the authority and in- tegrity of our institutions are not preserved and property rights not protected. I wish, however, to leave this word of warning: Blind adherence to a legalistic philosophy which de- lnandg only rigid obedience to the letter Of the law and which chooses to ignore the spirit of the iaw as well as the realities Of fife will surely lead to the eventual illustration Of the democratic Ideal Of true free ooui."

First Sit-Downers

When the MIRA was enacted iO contained section, "A, whic-l gave labor the right to organize and made it mandatory for enl- ployers to engage in collective bargaining with their employees Immediately the law was enacted the huge employing interests not only ignored 1t but flatly refused to obey 1t. Upon the advice ot counsel they announced that It was unconstitutional. The fact that the Supreme Court unan- imously declared the legislation invalid is altogether beside the question. THE DISOBEDIENT CORPORATIONS DID NOT WATT FOR A SUPREME COURT DECISION TO UPSET THE LAW. THEY CONSTITUTED THEMSELVES A SUP REME COURT, PASSED ON THE CON- STITUTIONKLITY OF THE LEGr ATION, DECLARED IT INV AND THREW TT OUT TTI1 DOW. They set the ex- ample AJr the law defiance which is now rampant in all sections of the country. Granted that two wrongs do not make 8 right; granted that because employers like the Weirton Steel Company, the United States Steel Company, and Remington Rand here ill Connecticut saw fit to disregard what was the law of the land until the Supreme Court decided 1t was not; granted the Wagner Labor Relations Act upon whose consti- tutiohality the Nine Old Men are now making up their minds is be- ing disobeyed. Does that warrant or justify workers occupying fac tories and stores and refusif either to work or get off the prem ises until their demands are met? May be and may be not. But the knowledge that industrialists have disobeyed the law in the instances mentioned and without being punished EXPLAINS why workers are disooeying court injunctiors and eviction orders now. The req son they give for their actions is the identical reason advanced by the corporations for the last fout years: THE SUPREME COUR T HAS NOT PASSED ON THE LIZ GALITY OF THE SIT-DOWll STRIKE. AND UNTIL IT DOES WE THINK IT IS LEGAL. WE ARE ACTING ON THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL JUST AS THE STEEL BARONS ACTED ON SECTION "A OF THE NRA. THEY DID TT AND GOT AWAY WITH IT. WHY CANNOT WE DO THE SAME?

Botl, to Blame

No intelligent person cares to see the courts fall into contempt. No one likes to see the law flouted by any group. But since both evils have made themselves visible intelligent persons might better concern themselves in finding out the reason for their existence rather than complaining about their presence. Too long have the law and judges been concerned with the rights of property and too little with the rights of human beings. To that concern the dis repute into which both have col lapsed is traceable.
