WELCOME HOME:

This is about the time when folks returning
from vacations with many stories to tell of trips and
sights, experiences and meetings. The family that
went north start off with photo of string of fish
that makes anglers palm itch. Of course we
know how often we have pictures taken with the
other fellows catch There is the inevitable tale of
the big one that broke the ne ate the bait leader

the folks who travelled many hundreds of miles
from home and came across fellow who used to
live here and went to school here in the old days.
We remark how small the world seems! The neigh
bors who saw the Worlds Fair tell us of amazing
sights and predictions of the future.
Those of us who remain at home and not been
lucky enough to have vacation may be bit envious
of it ALL but glad too. We welcomed the
travellers back and listen to your experiences, and
say, "glad to you home again."

MARCH OF DAILY WORK

The average housewife walks eight miles day.
The cop on the beat walks IA miles, normally active
boy covers Is miles, and, the mail man covers %
miles. These figures were presented to the conven-
ton of the National Association of Chiropodsts at
San Francisco.
No wonder the boy seems to have hollow legs, in
which he slows away food, if he is covering Is miles
day. If the blushing bride realized that in due time
she would be tramping eight miles day in her tolls

MAN WELL, BUT
MINUS ENTIRE LUNG
Doctor Terms Operation or
midable Undertaking.

PITTSBURGH, PA.-Six years
following the complete removal of
a lung, hopelessly impeded in its
function by a cancer of the bronchus,
the patient, a Pittsburgh, Pa, ply
sician, is alive and well, attending
to his practice, and with no indica-
ton of the return of the malignancy,
it was reported in the Weekly Bulle-
tin of the st. Louis Medical Society
in an article by DR.. M. F. Arbuckle.
1t was the first case on record,
he said, in which an entire lung
had been removed surgically. The
operation was performed at Barnes
hospital on April S. 1888, by DR.. Ev-
arts A. Graham, professor Of sur
gerry at the Washington university
school of medicine. The patient re-
ports to DR.. Graham regularly.
The operation, DR.. Arbuckle de-
scribes as formidable, and said the
mortality rate in the early days was
distressingly high, but said also with
the improvements in technique and
the various measures for safety
which have been developed, the
mortality rate now is very respect
able for such a formidable under
taking, probably 10 or IS per cent"
In the last 10 cases he had seen,
he said, there had been but one op-
erative death. He added he has no
hesitation in recommending the op-
Grafton for individuals with cancer
of the lungs, providing conditions
otherwise are favorable.

80 Years of Checkers
Doesn't Prove a Thing

checkers together 80 years ago and

Kraft considered himself a good
checker player and challenged Ed
monson to game, but Edmonson
swas good, too. ~ ,e
The organist and choirmaster at
Cleveland's Episcopal Trinity cathe-
dral said that he learned so much
from his opponent that now he holds
the lead in the checker series. This
is not final. however. as the lead
may return to Edmonson before the
two men reach an age where they
no longer can play.

Singing Nettles Used
To Keep Elephants Away

SINGAPORE.-The elephant has
a thick hide, but its trunk is so
sensitive the beast never forgets if it
pushes against singing nettle
plant.
Rubber planters in Johore, Brit
ish Malaga, are therefore planting
hedges Of singing nettles around
their estates, where elephants have
done much damage by uprooting
young trees and tearing down or
binary fences. 1t is hoped. that
when a wandering elephant touches
a singing nettle with its trunk it
will dash away and not return.

Bruckart's Washington Digest
See Less Favorable Reaction to
FDR's Remarks Than Formerly
Once Labeled Superman, 1t Is Now Realized President
Is Human and Can Make Mistakes; His Will
No Longer Completely Dominant.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg. Washington D. C.

WASHINGTON.-There has been
much conversation around here late
ly concerning the changed reception
given President Roosevelt's acts or
statements. It can not be doubted
that there has been an absence of
that buoyancy which characterized
his shots Of earlier days in the White
House; but lately. if one may judge
from the observations Of many per-
sons, he has been missing the tar
get as often as he has been hitting.
The result obviously is that a good
many persons have noted less favor
able reaction to Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
marks than formerly was the case.
1t Is hardly necessary to recall
how through some five or six years
the Presidents remarks made his
opposition wriggle and squirm. His
statements seemed to have that nee
essary punch which quelled out
bursts from those who disagreed
with him. The press corps of Wash
ington. or large percentage Of its
membership, always hankered for q
fresh Rooseveltian volley. It was
good copy. in a news way.
Having noted the changed eondi-
ton, myself, sought canvass Of
others. Nearly all of them eventu-
ally came to the conclusion that the
lack Of fire now often displayed in
Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks and their
failure to arouse the same fervor
among his followers are a natural
result Of events. He has been found
by many people to be just human.
Like his predecessor in the White
House, Mr.. Hoover, President
Roosevelt was overbuilt or oversold
by his ardent admirers. He was la
belled as superman, and that is one
OF the worst things that can happen
to politician; it is the worst thing
that can happen to a President be-
cause no man can be President I'M
less he is politician.
In saying that the Roosevelt cir
Gle ballyhooed their man too much,
I hope ] am not detracting from the
good qualities. The point of this
story is, after all, that millions of
persons were led to believe that
President Roosevelt could not make
mistakes-mistakes were out his
ken. But the job of President of the
United States has a way of disclos-
ing the true fiber.

AGAIN THE AUTO

The harvesters of the great western states have
not the need of calling the nation to send hands to
help reap the grain. In the days of old when it
was mighty hard to reach the fields of the west,
there was need of extra help and many request
was made to idle labor. Today we have the men and
boys who go into the cherry cotton peach and wheat
section, and in many cases they become too numer-
GUS. Many families are supported in this way. It
means that with the auto as their means of trans
portation and living inexpensive by camping out, the
helper can go longer distance and save money as
he earns it. The old cry for help from those lands
whence cometh bread has been answered by the
automobile

Makes Bad Break in Digging
Up Supreme Court Skeleton

Nor is Mr.. Roosevelt willing to let
some of them die unnoticed. For
instance, everyone recalls the heat
that was engendered by the Presi-
dents attempt to get congressional
approval of his own pet government
reorganization bill His terrific fight
for a reorganization of the Supreme
court with the new appointments
mat would come to him is easily
recalled. But the President dug up
the court skeleton, the other day. It
struck me as terribly foolish be-
cause the country had forgotten
much about that mistake. Mr..
Roosevelt recalled it in all of its
fury, however, by issuing a state
ment, almost without notice, saying
that he had obtained his court fight
detectives with enactment finally Of
a minor bill that sets up court ad-
ministrator.
In the same statement, Mr.. Roose-
welt made a bad break. He an
nounced that besides the passage
Of the administrator bill, the last
session Of congress had created five
additional judgeships in district
court-which he wanted. Well, it
happened that the senate passed the
judgeship bill, but the house never
did. and Mr.. Roosevelt was incor-
rectly informed. The result was the
same: 1t made the President look
rather sour for the moment. =
Along with Mr.. Roosevelt's state
ment about Argentine canned beef
being Of better quality than our
own beef, I think we ought to rank
the Presidents statement about the
refusal Of congress to pass the
spending-lending bill and the hous-
ing bill 1t struck me as being very
bad politics for the President to
climb way out on a limb and say
that 1.-The congress gambled with
the welfare Of $500, ZOO, 600 people
when 1t failed to enact the admins
tration's neutrality bill; it gambled
with the welfare of 10000. 900 when

it refused to pass the lel~..Ig bill

course, that refusal of congress to
accept the Presidents judgment on
the neutrality measure would cast
the world into war, and that the
action on the lending and housing
bills would mean there could be no
economic recovery.

Attempted Purge of Senators
Complete and Decided Flop

One has to consider the statement
to the Young Democrats in the light
Of some earlier mistakes. Every
one recalls how the President at
tempted to purge" the Democratic
party of Senators George of Geor-
gia, Smith of South Carolina, and
Tydings Of Maryland, last year.
That purge attempt Topped in way
that beggars description. Each of
those three were reelected to the
senate and when they won their
fight, they asserted their own judg-
ment in preference to Mr.. Roose-
velt's.
There is also the surge that has
come, building up Cactus Jack"
Garner for the Democratic nomina-
ton, next year. Now, Vice Presi-
dent Garner is a conservative. He
has had nearly 40 years of public
service. Obviously, he has a follow
ing and it appears to be getting big.
ger. Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration
that he may bolt the party if some
one not his kind of liberal is NOM
mated is statement almost certain
to strengthen the Garner forces.

President Sincere About
Spending and Housing Bills

So, evidently the two or three de-
feats that were clustered together
made the President appear differ
emily than when he had been on the
winning side. There were even some
of the Presidents enemies charging
him with qualities of poor loser. I
do not believe that is the case. There
is evidence that the President sin
cerely believed his lending meas
ure and the housing program would
do the job of restoring a prosperous
condition to the country. He has
played the game Of politics too long
not to know how to lose.
On the other hand, there have
been many harsh statements con-
corning the Presidents accusations
that congress was gambling. From
among Democrats who voted
against him on the major bills,
heard declarations Of belief that
their judgment was as good as that
possessed by the Chief Executive.
Those Democrats saw no reason to
concede monopoly Of brain power
to Mr.. Roosevelt. When he fred at
them he obviously invited back
talk" Of the worst order. He has
received it, too.
Take another incident. Only a
week ago. the President sent let
ter to the Young Democrats Of
America, meeting in Pittsburgh, to
the effect that unless the Democrat
ic party dominates his kind Of a lib
eral, he will take no active part in
electing that nominee. In other
words, he said actually that he
would bolt the party.
Immediately he got a reaction to
that statement that just did him no
good at all. Now, it is one thing
to lead the party which is united; it
is quite another horse to be led when
the part is split; and the Democratic
party is split. The declaration to the
Young Democrats, therefore, was
received by good many Democrats
as an open invitation for warfare.

opposition and the Gliding Of men,
bers Of congress that they were rub
Der stamps began to have an eff
feet. A test was coming and most
politicians realized it. Through the
session of congress last year and
that which only recently ended, Mr..
Roosevelt followed the same tactics
as before-but the change had come
and the course was blocked. 1t was
no longer period in which the will
Of the President was wholly and
completely dominant.
ALI of which brings to mind the
real facts in the case insofar as the
causes of the Presidents current in
effectiveness are concerned. It is
the old story. Any ball team looks
good when it is in the lead, when it
is winning. Any race horse is a
wonder only so long as it continues
to win. It can be said, therefore,
that having slipped considerably
both in political prestige inside his
own party and outside of it, and
having allowed some Of the wide
public endorsement to get away from
him, Mr.. Roosevelt is now being re-
garded as a human being who can
make mistakes. Any mistakes that
he may have made while he re-
manned the winner were discounted
or ignored. 1t seems likely, howev-
er, that all Of them will be dug from
their graves now and he must an
