Republican Chairman Flags Use Of
Anonymous Medium by president
To Excuse New Deal Failures

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. (UP)-
Chairman John ID. NJ. Hamilton of
the Republican national committee
today accused President Roosevelt
OF ''resurrecting the White House
spokesman" as a means of blaming
business and labor for the New
Deals failures.
The white House spokesman
Is the medium formerly used by
presidents to lay their ideas anon
ymously before the public President
Calvin Coolidge dispensed with it
during his last term.
Commenting on Mr.. Roosevelt's
press conference at Hyde Park yes
terday in which the White House
spokesman" drew an analogy be-
tween the recent European crisis
and American industrial problems,
Hamilton said:
'Lo and behold! A miracle has
taken place.
after all these years the White
House spokesman has been resur-
rected from the grave So it appears
in dispatches from Hyde Park
There that mythical figure. who
some IL years ago (until Mr.. Cool
idge started talking for direct quota

president thought, on Tuesday,
around press conference time, STAR
tied the newspaper corps by reap
pearing as the ambassador Of Mr..
Roosevelt. No wonder all the news
papers heralded the phenomenon
on their front pages.

Questions regarding wintertime

DeAnZa State para. said Hays, is
an important source of publicity
for Imperial Valley especially since

he departed there was no unem-
ployment or relief problem. Econ
ory and efficiency was the slogan
of the federal government. Busi-
ness worked in harmony with labor.
Young men and women coming but
of college had jobs waiting for
them.
What a change greeted the
White House spokesman on his
Tuesday visit back to this world. 1t
was so great that the old fellow
became confused and commenced
talking as though it were still
1926. He denied that federal taxes
were becoming heavier or that the
administration had ever threatened
to set up seven little TWAS around
the country to compete with pri-
vate industry or that due to lack
of confidence industry was unable
to obtain money for expansion and
the creation of new jobs. The poor
White House spokesman talked as
though he were back in the days
of Calvin Coolidge.

Household Hints :- WOMAN'S REALM -- Latest Styles
Glor6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stan Wrlter
 In the face of all the excitement of the wedding and her joy over the new home, beauty advice prob- ably seems trivial to the radiantly lovely June bride.
 Yet if she takes good look around at her older sisters friends who have been married ten years or whereabouts, she's bound to see that some of them just haven't kept up appearances. Although they were quite as beautiful on their wedding days as she is now, they obviously have "let themselves go."
 But if this years bride is as Smart a little girl as we think she is, she'll promise herself to make 1t her business to stay as attractive as possible through the years. She won't make 8 fetish of beauty or worry and fret so much about get ting old that her face takes on a frustrated, strained look, but neither will she sit back and do nothing to hold on to whatever beauty she possesses now.
 No matter how thrilling it Is to manage her own house and enter tain her friends in it, go to parties without having to worry about what mother will say if she comes in at four instead of one-in other words, to lead her own life and plan her daytime hours to suit herself, she won't forget to allow time for ade- quate rest and exercise.
 She'll stick to a schedule which allows enough time each day for simple beauty routines that keep hair healthy, complexion smooth and clear, figure slender and sup pie. She won't give up an active sport she always has loved. She'll walk as much, if not more, than she ever has. And she won't eat between meals just because the ice box is handy.
 Furthermore she'll save a little of each day for herself. She'll see "'the girls" of course, but she won't try to see all of them every day. She'll allow time to read the daily paper, the articles as well as the fiction in current magazines, and some non-fiction books as well as novels. She won't let anyone make her believe that such practices are just plain selfish. She will know that if her marriage is to be suc- cess and her husband happy man, proud of his wife, it is as important for her to stay mentally alert, healthy and attractive as it is to cook wonderfully well and be an efficient hostess.
 NEXT: Keeping cool.

hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. Without attempting to account for such spells now, we may say simply that such functional hypoglycemia sometimes produces singular effects. Sudden inexplicable sense of weari- ness, weakness or exhaustion, per- haps accompanied with. a mental hiatus or even a momentary loss of consciousness not unlike the typical seizure of petit nal (minor epi- lepsy). Or in other instances the hypoglycemia manifests itself merely as an extreme sense of weariness or fatigue or inability to carry on. felt along toward the tag end of the forenoon, or the afternoon, that is. three hours or more after the last meal.
 Thousands of people who have mild hypoglycemia of this type make the serious mistake of resorting to alcohol, tobacco or even drugs to "tide over" or to dull consciousness of the warning. The remedy best adapted to prevent and cure hypo- glycemia is, of course, sugar. Food. Milk. Fruit juice. Candy. Chocolate bar. Sandwich. Ice cream. Crackers. Bread and butter. It doesn't mat ter what carbohydrate you prefer or can get; only don't go more than four hours without some such gen. uine pick-me-up. This applies es- pecially in case you are trying to control overweight by diet-you will have more success with any reduc- ing regimen if you can manage to avoid hypoglycemia.

Take Howard, of the first clan Howard is the tantrum child who has continued in his spasms of tenn per because he finds his parents and family yielding to his demands. He enjoys double delight in throwing things ano screaming his threats because it is so lovely to feel furious, also to get the dime he asked for.
 But really the Towards are rare compared with the army of children who are cross, poor dears, because they are kept on string, never al- lowed to spread their wings or get out of themselves once in while.
 Sulking Worse Than Rage
 If Lester has his days filled with prescribed duties and his program holds no free hours for Lester to be Lester, then he will undoubtedly turn in on himself. Then self will insist on being self by sudden ex- plosions. The boy won't know him. self why he gets so impatient, and when called on the carpet to ex- plain his rage, he can't do it.
 Maybe he won't reach the steam ing point, and will not blow the lid off the kettle, but instead will sulk, which is worse for him and every body else than a good blowout. Nurs- ing grief eats into the soul.
 The inferior-type child often be- comes pouty and cross. He yells boo to other children to cover up his rabbit it-complex. This is synthe- tic rage. but genuine enough in its annoyance to all beholders. Never theless, such child is unhappy.
 Now about cures. Harold needs in- difference. If you are his mother, and suspect that Harold is enjoying both his tempers and his dimes habi- tually, show him that his act leaves you cold. Give him his way oftener when he is polite and cheerful, not when he banks and stamps anG shouts. Tell him you are on to his little game. Talk grown-up turkey to such a child. He will like himself better think. And you, too. CrOssness Not Natural But with Lester, would examine carefully into his daily life. If it is too strenuous, too exacting, too full or presents too high a standard fol him to reach happily, then try tt ease up little. Give him more timt
