That was the year Franklin
Roosevelt knocked 'em cold in
Dutchess County, N. Y, going
to the New York State senate
as a Democrat from a Repub-
lican county, shock from
which the county has not re-
covered in % years.
Sheehan was the Tammany
choice of a corporation lawyer
for the U. S. Senate. He had
the New York power and other
interests right behind him:
and when this young, fair-haired
boy with the Harvard accent, =
first-termer at that, gathered
around him enough strength in
the New York senate to stale
mate the Tammany choice, there
broke loose the fury of poll
ticians of Olympic size.
The Power trust, which F. D.
R. has never forgiven, tried to
ride the young senator down.
Every trick, every device, every
brutality known to the Old
Guard New York politicians of
both parties were tried on the
young man from DutchesS
county. That's where he began
to hate the political end of the
Niagara-H Hudson Power Com
pany.
The result was that Franklin
Roosevelt hung on like Horatius
at the bridge; and the outcome
was that ne and his little band
of faithful reformers forced the
compromise that sent O'Gorman
and his stubby little red
whiSkerS to the United States
Senate.

the local section to a well hid

page and finally, as I notice by
tonight's edition, dropped en-
tirely.
OF course, nearly everyone In"
terested in Mr.. Carter realizes
that a certain pressure is being
applied to his writings, where
ever it will not be too obvious
but I did not realize that your
paper would yield to the whip.
May I remark that it is also
very amusing to see the type
of a column that you have
placed in Mr.. Carter's former
space on the first page OF the
local section. I do not know
what type of a demagogue Mr.
Forbes may be, but I will say
that his columns remind me OF
debating speeches that would
be written by a high school
how whose father is the leading
banker of the town.

findings of the American Youth Com
mission which will be given by Arthur
L. Brandon executive assistant of the
commission, at the February dinner
meeting of the Montgomery County
Social Welfare Council, announced

Montgomery was one of the counties
in which field work was done by means
of personal interviews with young
people from 16 to "a years old in vari-
Gus residential districts from the up
rer rural section to the suburban area.
They were given the opportunity of
expressing themselves on matters
under discussion in the press and by
their elders covering everything from
home life to war. They expressed their
opinions on school, training for jobs,
marriage, health, religion, military
service land on any subject in which
they were interested.
Theodiscussion is part of the Mont
gomery County Social Welfare Com
cil's program for this year which is
focused on the problems of young peo-
pie. Recreation and juvenile delin-
quency have previously been discussed
by leaders in those fields.
The dinner will be held at the Fran
ces Latte Inn, Sandy Spring, at six

Meaning of Whitechapel

iamentary district, east of the nc-
cleate city of London. It is one of
the poorest portions of the metropo-
lis and was formerly notorious for
its criminal population. From 1888
to 1891 it was the scene of the
atrocities of Jack the Ripper. With
in its boundaries are the tower of
London and London hospital. It is
intersected by Whitechapel road.
The name is derived from former
medieval chapel, when all distances
east Of London were calculated.

WITH OUR CHILDREN
BABIES ACCIDENTS

Two thousand babies are killed in
accidents every year, the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company states
in a recent bulletin.
During the three-year period end
ing in 1885, of every 100000 babies
born alive in the United States 81
met with a fatal accident in the
first year Of life. That is a higher
fatal accident rate than is found at
any other age from one year up to
q for boys. Females do not reach
such a high rate again until late in
life, at about the age Of GA. The
accident rate of boys, even in the
first year of life, is higher by about
20 per cent than that Of girl babies.
Mechanical suffocation is respon-
sible for the largest number Of these
accidents. Burns and falls come
next in importance. Poisonous sub
stances and conflagrations account
for a number Of deaths and, as
might be expected, motor vehicle
accidents cause a certain number of
fatalities. About five babies in every
100000 are killed in automobile acct
dents.
Hundreds of these very young
lives could be saved every year if
parents were aware of the special
accident hazards of early infancy.
Heavy bed clothing and soft pillows
cause many Of the suffocations.
Babies should never be left near
containers Of hot liquids. Even cups
of hot coffee and tea, spilled over
them, have caused fatal burns. Care
must also be taken to prevent falls
from cribs, high chairs, down stairs
and from windows.
It is encouraging to note that iT
cities where there is q well-adminis.

accidents are being reduced, acct
