THE Sweeter the Grapes Are"
The more I think Of it, the more
sweet grapes there are to taste in
stead of the sour grapes of defeat. As
President, could not do my part with
a pitchfork, as I did late yesterday
afternoon, in harvesting our crop of
alfalfa 100 feet from the front porch
There ought to be enough to carry
our two cows through the winter.
I do not know what the custom
Is, but I do not think 1t would be
in the book of etiquette for us to
eat our Sunday night supper in the
White House kitchen, as we do in
our own now. Nor would 1t be for
me as President to walk up and down
the White House porch in a dressing
gown for an early morning breather;
or to 60 to the White House stables,
bareheaded, collar Of old tan shirt
open at the neck, and saddle my horse
for canter at sunup.
When two men who came to see
me recently found me currying my
horse, one remarked: you act as if
you liked that" I replied Il do
I've been doing 1t since I was boy
and am not out OF practice" I was
acquitted Of any pose to please the
cameramen, which may be the case
when a President puts on 10-gallon
hat or the headdress OF an Indian
chief.
Nor would it be in order, when
the mood hit us after I had had a
hard day at the White House desk,
to pack my little Nancy 10 and Jack
and their two little Negro boy friends
with the fishing gear into the old
car, of for an hours fishing before
sundown.
Nancy 10 and Jack might not
scamper out on the White House
lawn to see how the turkey and
guinea hen eggs were Matching and
the young ducks were getting on in
the pond. They could not bring in
baby wild rabbits from La Fayette
Park, across the street from the White
House, as they do from our fields.
A normal child life seems hardly
possible for White House children.
Ours have it, and Mrs. Landon and
I have the time to play with them,
and we may keep open house for our
friends to drop in without previous
appointments through social or off,
cial secretaries. No official formalities
cramp the style Of the Landon family.

asked what would be the effect upon
her of all the attention she would
receive, after they saw her at the con-
vention looking on at the tumult in
the thunderous acclaim OF her fathers

Her home friends held her at little
distance, as the prospective daughter

they were utilizing their friendship in
the hope of favors to come. Now
they are just home friends again.

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

Lump-sum payments now being
made under the old-age insurance
provisions of the Social Security
Act comprised the entire estate
of a majority of workers who
have died since January l, 1897.
This surprising fact is revealed
by a study recently announced by
Charles E. Bailey. manager of the
Boards Field Office. at Hagers-
town
Although these lump-sum pay
ments have varied between a few
cents and $525. the average
amount for the whole country is
now approximately S32. This rep
resents 3 II percent of the wages
paid to the worker in covered en-
ployment after December 81. 1886,
and before his death. This aver
age sum is steadily increasing. of
course, as the amount of the
workers wage record increases.
The same type of lump-sum
payments are being made to per-
sons who have reached the age
of S. since January 1. 1897. These
payments are based, likewise. on
the wages earned in covered en-
ployment since that date, amount
ing to IL per cent. of such
wages. Some workers now eli

are under the impression that
they must stop work if they apply
for a lump-sum payment. This
belief is not true. since lump-sum
payments are being made to en-
ployees who have reached SIS and
who continue to work at their old
jobs This confusion undoubtedly
arises from the fact that month
