This Changing World
Allies Count on Blockade to Make
Germans Realize What Hitler Started
and land there the crew of a sunken

and land there the crew of sunken
ship.
But how long this mice" war is
going to last nobody knows. The
truth is that on all sides, despite
the apparently hopeless situation,
there is glimmer of hope that
something may yet happen which
might prevent the wholesale mas
sacre Of millions of men.
The German government believes
the allies will accept the accom-
plished fact of Polands disappear
ance and consider Lloyd Georges
recent outbursts for negotiations as
an indication that Britain and
France might sign an honorable"
peace.
The allies believe the winter will
show the Germans how difficult it
will be for them to make any head
way and will kick Hitler and bis
aides out in order to make peace
with the British and the French,
who harbor no i'll feeling against
the German people.
The statement of Mr.. Duff Cooper
that in the course of the next few
months Germany may change its
jockey Is not a mere expression Of
pious wish.
Even before the war started there
were rumors that the allies might
help one of the former Kaiser S
grandsons who has worked for Mr..
Ford in Detroit and appears imbued
with the democratic doctrines. to
regain the throne of his FORE
fathers The young prince is now
an aviator in the German Army,
but is not flying on the front. He
is being kept In one of the impor-
tant airplane factories in the Reich.
He personally has made no attempt
to get into the limelight rs a pre-
tender to the throne. He is just a
good NaA for the time being. But
in the event of some dramatic
changes in the Reich it is on him
that the hopes of the allies are
pinned.

Administration Foes
Say Neutrality Unity

Democratic Senators who have
opposed various administration pro-
posals are making it plain that their
support of President Roosevelt q
neutrality recommendation will in.
volve no surrender Of their views on
domestic issues.
Several Democrats who hereto
fore have been sharply critical OF
White House policies now are giving
I, energetic backing to repeal of the
arms embargo. But some declared
today they were supporting the
legislation solely on its merits rather
than because of allegiance to the adj
ministration.
Two of these-Senators George of
Georgia and Adams of Colorado
asserted that there was no connec-
ton between the neutrality ques-
ton and such domestic issues as
spending, taxation and the 1910
campaign.
Third Term Issue Apart.
II don't believe that the Demo-
cratic unity behind the neutrality
bill will be carried over when do
mestic legislative and political is
sues arise" said Senator Adams
THE third-term question will be
decided completely apart from the
present issue.
If the war continues, of course
some may say that we should keep
the President in the White House
On the other hand, some may argue
that the war will make a change
necessary"
Senator George told reporters:
Many Democrats are agreed on
this neutrality program because of
existing conditions. But we cannot
afford to overlook domestic issues
Our stand on them will have to be
determined as they arise"
Senator George was one Of those
whom Mr.. Roosevelt sought to un-
seat in last years senatorial pri-
maries.
Sees No Connection.
Another Democrat who was op-
posed for denomination by a New
Dealer-Senator Gillette of Iowa
asserted he did not believe that
there is any connection whatever
between the attitude of Democratic
Senators on neutrality and their
attitude on matters of domestic
political concern"
But some Democrats argued that
after the party had worked to-
gether on one issue, cooperation
in the future would be easier.
! Senator Minton, Democrat, of In
diana, the party whip and New
Deal supporter, said:
1T is a beautiful thing for the
brethren to dwell together in unity
If business continues to improve
and economic issues do not come
to the fore, we should be a more
united party in the future. We

Roosevelt Hears
Prayer King May
Overcome Enemies
Bible Given to Church
BY George VI Dedicated
At Hyde Park
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. 23.-In
the little ivyed church where Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the King of
England worshiped together last
summer the President, with bowed
head, yesterday heard his minister
pray that the British sovereign
may vanquish and overcome all
his enemies"
Amid a momentous hush the Rev.
Frank r. Wilson of st. James Epis-
copal Church intoned also a prayer
for all the royal family"-which
heads a nation at war with Ger
many.
20 Lord" Mr.. Wilson read from
Canadian prayer book, which is
not a part of the regular Episcopal
service
20 Lord, -. most heartily we
beseech Thee with Thy favor to be-
hold the most gracious sovereign,
lord, King George, and so replenish
him with the grace of Thy Holy
Spirit. that he may always incline
to Thy will and walk in Thy way,
endow him plenteously with heav-
enly gifts: grant him in health and
wealth long to live: strengthen him
that he may vanquish and over
come all his enemies, and finally
after this life he may attain ever
lasting Joy and felicity, through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
No Political Significance.
Later Mr.. Wilson told newspaper.
men no political significance at
tached to the mention of enemies"
in the prayer, which he said was
used year in, year out" in the
English church.
He said it was not to be confused
with the special prayer for victory
included in the Episcopal service
when the British nation is at war.
The special occasion was the dedi-
cation of King James Bible given
by George vi to st. James Church
as memento of the occasion when
he and Queen Elizabeth worshiped
here last June II with the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Resting on gold lectern, sur
mounted by an eagle with outspread
wings. the Bible was used for the
first time yesterday.
In the fly leaf of the Bible the
King had penned in his own hand:
Presented to St. James Church,
Hyde Park, u S. A., by George r. l.,
June IL, 1939'
After the services, while parish
toner's were looking at the Bible,
the President, AS senior warden, pre-
sided over vestry meeting.
Wife and Mother Present.
Mr.. Roosevelt sat through the
services in the family pew. his wife
and mother beside him. Following
the vestry meeting, he drove to his
country estate to spend the rest of
the day quietly and later left for
Washington by special train.
Since the sky had cleared after 4
morning rain, the President took
another afternoon drive around the
countryside. From first-hand expe-
rience with his own estate he has
learned something of the problems
OF other farmers whose crops have
been scourged by drought.
And, like many another farmer
who has ploughed up one ruined
crop and optimistically planted an
other, Mr.. Roosevelt is taking it
on the chin this year and getting
ready to attempt "a come back" in
the spring.
Not since April II has a soaking
rain fallen on the portion of the
normally-verdant Hudson Valley in
which the Presidents acres lie.
Throughout the area. many wells,
lakes and streams have dried up.

PEOPLE ARE STILL SUPER
 STITTOUS

STITIOUS
 Practical medicine is a connection composed of one-third science, one- third speculation and one-third common sense. The speculation is an essential ingredients. If you omit 1t, people will not patronize you. Even though doctor is master of the science of medicine and en- dowed with common sense, he can- not hope to succeed in practice un- less he works the old speculative faculty to the liking of his patients. For example, people choose to re- gard the "crisis" of pneumonia as the turning point of the illness, al- though of course it is nothing of the sort, and if the doctor does not pretend to regard 1t in the same light he is likely to lose their con- f1dence. This is but one of a thous- and instances that occur in every day practice. The sad part of 1t is that great many of the most suc- cessful physicians gradually lose their unbiased critical judgment and go so far over to the speculative or empirical side that they them selves become the most formidable obstacle to the progress of scientific medicine.
 In many parts of this country large portions of the population still believe obstinately in the ideas or theories of the best doctors of earlier times, that malaria (fever and ague( arises from freshly turn ed earth, from the dank atmosphere of swamp or marsh Or rom vague "miasma" or noxious effuvia en- anating from putrescent matter and floating in the air. In view of the fact that practitioners of me- dicine in such districts are not al- ways clear or outspoken concerning these venerable superstitions, efforts to educate the people in the control and prevention of malaria meet with indifferent success.
 This is the malaria season. Not only are the carriers of malaria, Anopheles mosquitoes, now breeding nose actively, but in summer vaca- tion time more people are visiting districts where this species of mos- quitoes abound. It is well for every one to know that the Anopheles mosquito, which may inoculate ma- laria by her bite, alights always with her body at an angle nearly perpen- dicular with the surface; whereas the ordinary Culex mosquito, com- monly found about houses in the north, and never a carrier of ma- lararia, alights with her body paral- Tel with the surface.
 Aside from the advisability of taking two grains of quinine sul- phate Gin pill, tablet or capsule) three times a day as prophylactic against malaria while in a malar- ious district, the standard treatment for malarial fever employed by most practitioners today is the short quin- inc treatment. This calls for daily dosage of twenty grains of quinine sulphate when chills and fever come, usually given in ten-grain doses morning and evening for from five to seven days. Then no more quinine unless chills and fever return.

 Once it was all the other way. The wife lived in woman's world and when her husband came home at night she was so thankful for little male companionship that she thought he was a super. man, and she would do anything to please him.

-BEAUTY----- Glorifying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

For fall 1939, womanly elegance will take the place of what Main bocher, famous French couturier, now calls "nit-wit chic"
 Away with schoolgirl dresses" say fashion designers and beauty experts. Away with baby coiffuers. Away with little girl effects of all varieties"
 And, from Rosette Hargrove, well-known Paris fashion corre- spondent cam ethese words:
 "The atmosphere of an epoch is inevitably reflected in it's fashions. In view of the seriousness of pres ent-day conditions 1t is no wonder that womanly elegance should take the place of attempts at little-girl- ishness.'
 "This means that the often futile, but none the less fervid, quest for youth at any price is definitely on the Wane. It won't be long before the so-called glamour girl also will be past phase"
 FIGURE WILL
 BE MATURE
 Judging by all these advance re- ports, the ideal figure will be ma ture-youthfully mature, to be sure, but still mature. High bosomed, 1t will be, with diminutive waistline and beautifully rounded hips. No flat-chested, thick -waisted figure with straight hipline possibly can wear the stunning clothes which will be on the market in a few weeks.
 Compilations will have a dull, im- maculately groomed look about them. You'll wear rouge, but net too much of it. You'll learn about eye makeup and what it can do for you. You'll do posture exercises reg ularly. Tn other words, you'll look like lady-a grownup lady. And you'll act like one.

Don't neglect quick cleaning of food spots on rugs. A food stain is an urgent invitation for moths to dine, particularly if the rug is in a room that is not in constant use.

He might come home thinking that there was one place where fellow was appre- ciated, one place to rest and be happy.
