publicly. For his silence he is not TO
be reproached. A Vice President is
not supposed to take position on
pending measures. If he did he would
be properly rebuked. Mr.. Garner went
away from Washington, and that in
way was a tacit expression of dis
quiet about the court measure. He
went away and let the court meas
ure be killed, as he ShreWdly foresaw
it would be by the inherent fact of
its viciousneSs, and by the earnest
| ness and courage Of the Democratic
Senators who opposed it.
Now Mr. Garner is able to return,
| without having been publicly identi-
fed with either faction. He is
equipped to be a mediator Yet me-
diation is not really his role. Rather
he approaches the President as rep
resentative of the victorious anti
court measure Democratic Senators.
He is better able TO notify the Presi-
dent of his defeat than any of the
anti-court measure Senators would be-
Mr.. Garner is able to do it with the
least hurt TO the Presidents pride.
Wants to Preserve Party.
Mr. Garner is glad the court meas
ure was beaten. He is glad the anti
court Senators won. But now it is
obvious he wants the matter wound
up with the least harm to the party.
Particularly does he want to keep the
President IN good humor. He wants
to avoid a situation in which the
President-or the Presidents radical
followers with or without the PreSi-
dent-might start new party. Mr.
Garner regards the President as the
largest single asset the Democrats
have. Necessarily Mr.. Gamers chief
anxiety at this stage of the situation
is to ease things along without an
lrreVocable split in the party, to
emerge at the end of the episode with
the party united for next years con-
gressional elections and the 1910
presidential campaign.
AS an aspiration, that is natural
enough on Mr.. Gamers part. But
it is doubtful if it can work out as
he wishes. If this were an ordinary
party split on an ordinary question,
1t might be bridged over But the
court measure is the sort of issue that
arises only once in century; in
this form this is the first time it has
| arisen in Americas S $50 years of his
troy On such an issue party split
cannot be eaSed over The Demo-
cratic party must be one of two
things. 1t must be the party that
tried to put the court measure
through-or it must be the party that
successfully resisted the. court meas
ure.
BY the outcome the Democratic
party, as it is today, is the party
that opposed the court measure. That
side, in the end, had apparently q
| majority of the Senators. And in
addition to those willing to vote with
them, they had the concealed good
wishes of many who up to the present
have followed the President as mat
| ter Of party discipline. If Mr.. Roose-
welt and his radical advisers want a
party that stands with them on the
court measure. they will have to Or
| ganize new one.

NEW POST OFFICE
 NEEDS DESCRIBED
LOnergan Believes COn= gress Will Favor Plan
 for Buildings

Washington, D. c. May 4-Follow- ing a conference with Post Office officials, Senator Lonergan CD Conn.,, today expressed the opinion that Congress will likely authorize an extensive program for construc- tion of Federal buildings during the next several years.
 Senator Lonergan said he had been informed that list of Post Office projects is now being prepar- ed by the Post Office and Treasury Departments, to be submitted to Congress when hearings begin in the House on the third deficiency bill in May. This list will contain recom- mendations for new buildings at locations where postal receipts are $l0,000 per annum or more and where definite need has been shown by adequate inspection. It is likely that several projects will be recommended for each Congress ional district with the probability that many will be made available for at least one or two projects in each District.
 Senator Lonergan said that from present indications there may be a shift of emphasis from the Public Works Administration program, to an enlarged program of permanent Federal buildings administered by the Treasury and Post Office De- partments. He indicated that his opinion was based on a letter from the President to the effect that the future policy with respect to the PWA would be an allocation of funds on the basis of labor cost of projects plus 15 per cent for admin iStrative cost.
 "This policy if adhered to-" the Senator said, would mean great curtailment of public works projects unless congress took different view.
 Although the increased activities by the Post Office and Treasury De- partments with respect to their projects may be merely coinciden- tai with the Presidents letter, Senator Lonergan expressed belief that there has been a definite change in policy based on desire for economy and on preference for a permanent Federal building program.

REGULAR HABITS
 NEED ATTENTION
Consideration Should Be Given to Conditions ln=
 vOlving Children

Following up National Child Health Day in its weekly bulletin today, the State Department of Health emphasized the need for the development of corrct habits 1n children of eating, sleeping and elimination in order to preserve both mental and physical health, and declared that while deserved praise and approval will help a child to give up infantile patterns. good habits are not usually formed by . child in family where par ents are changeable in mood, auth oritative, impatient and over anxious.
 Consideration should be given to the conditions under which the child eats, the bulletin said. The room should be quiet, with no audience to watch the child eat. Food should be appetizing, meals regular. No com- ment should be made about undesir- ability of certain foods. Most com- mon obstacle to proper eating habits is the childs refusal to take food or nabit of splitting it out. If this occurs habitually, With no physical basis for i., parents should make no con- ments, but simply remove the food and later serve a fresh supply. Otherwise, the child gets the atten- tion which, even though he is scold- ed, he finds satisfying, and which stimulates repetition of the beha- vior.
 The young child, the bulletin con- tinued, should not sleep in the same room with his parents, nor in the same bed, because his sleep will be disturbed by the presence of others. The child senses and takes in exper- fences long before he can under stand them, and the impression may stay with him, and be source Of disturbance later in life.
 Control of the excretory functions is usually satisfactorily established if the child is drilled in regularity. In the course of this training, the child should not be ashamed if mis- haps occur, for the child is very sen- sitive to shamming and emotional difficulties are apt to result.
 In addition to the habits suggest I.d aboves the bulletin suggested, the hild should be taught to talk well, hould be able to dress himself be- ! ween the age of three to five, to 'aelp in the care of his room and of his own things, and to consider the HQun aSfweN as himself,
