Do not say "muh-LAT- T-uh."
Strictly speaking, a mulatto is a
half-breed Negro. A person of quar-
ter Negro blood is quadroon. One
with an eighth Negro blood is an
octoroon.
Caution: Do not speak of per-
sons with any degree of Negro blood
as creoles. Real creoles are WED

nies.
Ondeed, many of the stateliest
aristocratic families of the South
have fierce pride in their creole an
cestry. Use of the word as implying
person of Negro blood is entirely
erroneous)
The first syllable of mulatto rhymes
with few, pew; the second syllable
rhymes with bat, mat; the third syl-
liable rhymes with hoe, toe.
Correct pronunciation: mew-LAT-
toe.

Smiling Pool. His usually sunny
face was clouded. From his pocket
he took piece of paper and pencil.
Then he sat down and began to
write. When he had finished he
went over to Jerry's favorite log
and thrust a stick in the bank just
above it. The top of the stick was
split, and in this he slipped the
piece Of paper. Then he went back,
gathered up the traps, slung them
yer his shoulder and tramped of
the direction of home.
All the rest of that day Jerry kept
al eye on that piece Of paper at the

Maine Monument Waits
BY Bruno

Damaged several months ago by
lightning, the Maine Monument,
erected in Havana, Cuba, to me-
moralize the sinking of the Maine
during the Spanish-American War,
is still unrepaired because the Treas
ury Department has not made
available the $1,000 appropriation
for the work. Restoration of the
monument was awarded to a con-
tractor who has made temporary
plaster repairs pending purchases
of marble In the United States.

where he himself could see all that

where he himself could see all that
went on around the Smiling Pool.
In one hand Farmer Browns Boy
carried a bunch of things that
clanked as he walked. Jerry knew
what they were. He would know
those things as far as he could see
them. They were steel traps. Jerry
scowled as he saw them. The sound
of them hitting together sent little
cold shivers over him. They were
dreadful things, even more dreadful
than terrible guns. There was moth
ing to fear from the latter save when
they were in the hands Of hunters,
Evening star., 1939-12-29

and any one with his wits about him
ought to be able to see a hunter in
time to seek safety.
But these dreadful traps were left
hidden in the very places where
fellow had the right to feel safest,
ready to seize him in cruel steel jaws
and hold him to suffer pain and
dreadful fright for hours and hours,
sometimes for days. Jerry could
think of nothing so dreadful as those
steel traps, and so he shivered at the
sight Of them.
Farmer Browns Boy threw tn:
traps down on the bank Of tht

end of his favorite old log. It
puzzled him. He didn't go near it.
He didn't dare to. He was suspicious
of it. 1t might be some new kind
of trap. Jerry was very unhappy.
Early the next morning Jerry heard
some one coming down the Laughing
Brook. He promptly hid where he
could watch. In a few minutes the
stranger whom he had one time
thought his friend appeared, and
it was plain to be seen that he was
very angry. He was muttering as
he strobe along. Almost at once he
saw the piece Of paper left by Farmer

The trapper turned and shook his
fist in the direction Of Farmer
Browns. Then, still muttering, he,
walked away hurriedly, but not in
the direction Of Farmer Browns.
Jerry didn't understand 1t at al,
but for some unknown reason he
felt better.

Significance. Since the President
and congress seem to be heading
down opposite paths, the best guess
holds that Mr. Roosevelt is DELHI
erately inviting a split in Democrat
ic ranks leading to formation of a
third party for 1910. But Labor S
Nonpartisan league &C. I. o. must
be bulwark of that party, and the
anti-C. l. o. slur contained in Judge
Musmanno's rejection fails to jibe
with these plans. Moreover most
debated presidential appointments
have been judicial, practically val
ueless from a political viewpoint.
But party-smashing need follow no

Protesting Mexican appropriation
of American-owned oil lands. Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull has, de-
manded compensation. Meanwhile
a false belief has arisen in Mexico
City that President Roosevelt SYM
pathiZes with the revolutionary re-
gime of President Lazaro Cardenas.
Far from sympathetic, Mr.. Roose-
welt recently called Mexican ambas-
sador DR.. Don Francisco Castillo
Najera to the White House for a
seminar on international good taste
The lesson: That sovereign Mexico
can appropriate but must also make
compensation. AS Senior Najera
carried this protest home, U. S. oil
men were heartened into offering
President Cardenas a settlement
proposal: Oil lands would be re-
turned, title and profits then d.
vided on a $3.50 basis between gov
eminent and oil companies.
But news from Mexico City made
it clear this offer would be rejected.
In addition to SIT, 100000 agree
ment signed last December to bar
ter oil for German machinery,
President Cardenas has just an
nounced two new barter contracts
involving approximately S4, 900, 000.-
600 in Mexican oil and Nazi manu-
featured protects.
That Senior Cardenas is smugly
satisfied with his progress was evil
denced by the remark of his chief
political aid, Luis Rodriguez, made
to visiting Col. Fulgencio Batista,
Cuban strong man: when the
President found the foreign COM
panies refusing to obey the gov
ernment's orders in court, he gave
the stern order to appropriate the
oil companies. We show It to you
as an authentic victory of the revo-
luton, as an example to YOU"
Whether Strong Man Batista
would accept the example remains
to be seen, but Mexico already has
one Latin-American ally in this

dor to Paris. Still more significant
is the one-tWo-three sequence in
which Hainan's occupation followed
Barcelona's fall, just as Canton's
occupation last September followed
the Munich settlement. Each time
democracies capitulate in the west,
Tokyo capitalizes on Hitler -Musso-
lini triumphs to nip at the Franco
British far eastern position.
In typical Japanese fashion, Hal
mans occupation is a poker-faced,
self-righteous trick that dares Brit
ain. France and the u. S. to re-
taliate. By Chinese, who see their
nation falling apart bit by bit, the
move is greeted with mixed emo
ton. The hoped-for consequence is
lifting Of Frances ban on arms
shipments through Indo-China.
But from his headquarters in far
western Chungching, Chinese Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai shek
mourned Hainan's fall as the be
ginning of Japanese domination in
the Pacific" Predicting heavy con-
sequences for the u. S., France and
Britain, General Chang not only
saw broken communication lines
between Hong Kong, Singapore and
Australia, but also a threat to u. S.
and British naval bases at Hawaii
and Singapore.

Old Line Democrats Seek
To Regain Party Control

Nor are the senators, not just
Glass and Byrd alone, but all of
them, blameless, if one desires to
turn purist. The senators have their
political machines. They seek al
ways to keep those machines well
oiled, smooth running. Upon the
functioning of the machines depends
whether the senators can be re-
elected time after time; upon that
machine depends the retention or
the loss of the power which every
politician loves. I imagine they can
not be blamed for that, any more
than the President can be blamed
for wanting to keep his hand on the
throttle. That is politics.
Selection of the men to judicial
jobs, or 10 any other political post
in the nature of plum, is vital to
maintenance Of machines. Politi-
clans continue as leaders only so
long as they can dominate the scene
and get for their followers the things
their followers want.
But in the current battle there is
somewhat deeper disagreement be-
tween the senate and the President.
1t is too well known to warrant more
than mere reference here that old
line Democrats are determined to
regain control of the Democratic
party label. They have had more
than enough impractical direction
from the regiment of college pro-
fessors, crack-pots and long haired
dreamers without political training.
Many of them will tell you unhesi-
tatingly that continuation of Demo
cratic party control in the hands Of
such men will be destruction of the
party and its conversion into a We
hicle guided by socialists, commu-
nists and a complete rainbow of
colors. Naturally, they want to ad-
here to Democratic doctrines and
Democratic principles. And that is
the line of cleavage.
The result? l doubt that Mr..
Roosevelt can win over the senate.

men<. 1t is going to continue to ex-
lSt because of the form of our gov
eminent, its system of checks and
balances, and it will exist as long
as our system Of political parties OBJ
tainS.
Colby and without bias, it must
be said that each side to the battle
predicates its conclusions and con-
ception of its rights upon thirst for
more power Mr.. Roosevelt, as
President, conceives that he should
be boss; the senators, as representa-
tlves of sovereign states, conceive
that they are the elected represent
atives and they are not going to
have single individual, even
though it be the President of the
United States, dehorn them of the
strength that an election by popular
vote gives them.
Moreover, the President must do
political knitting. He must keep the
weave as free of knots as is posi-
BILE. In the case of the present in
cumbent, it is quite apparent that he
desires to be complete boss of his
political structure. He had a taste
indeed, full meal-of it for five
years when a subservient congress
vastly earned the sobriquet of rub
Der stamps. / imagine that he liked
it; anyone would, if that person is
really human. When some of his
rubber stamps became blurred and
did not print clearly what he said
they should print, Mr.. Roosevelt,
like any other ruthless politician,
was going to get rid of them. He
tried that in the purge" during the
last campaign, and failed. Many
persons are sure that the present
flame is intended to destroy this
type of opposition.

Wants Judges Who Will
Be Friendly to NeD Deal

The other phase of the differences
is less clear. l can report it only
as the belief of quite few sena-
tors. Some of them believe it, def
nitely. I give it here simply as a
subject for thought.
By insisting upon his own choice
of nominees for judgeships in the
federal courts, Mr.. Roosevelt is at
tempting to place men in the ju
dietary who will be friendly to all
of the New Deal laws, or so some
members of the senate and the
house firmly believe. That is to say,
the belief is held that Mr.. Roosevelt
is seeking to do by use of the ap-
pointive power that which the con-
gress refused him the power to do
when it killed off his scheme to
pack the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States with six new justices. BY
filling the judiciary-the federal dis
trict courts and the circuit courts of
appeal-with men known to be ia
vorable to new deal laws, in
surance against adverse decisions is
provided for years to come, or so
some of the senators and representa-
tives will tell you.
1t would be only incidental, if the
above analysis is correct, that Mr..
Roosevelt would build fresh politi-
cal machine completely subservient
to him. It would be only incidental,
but it would be fact.

International

Intentionally or otherwise, u. S.
Secretary of State Cordel Hull
stepped to a microphone the night
before congress went to work on
President Roosevelt's enlarged de-
tense program. By the time he
left, the world had learned how
Americas No. diplomat and
tradesman feels about war: He
sympathizes with the White House.
After offering the standard de-
tense argument that it is nations
sacred duty" to arm when the
specter of major war 'haunts the
world" Mr.. Hull staged two sur
