Br0Wder Rallies Reds Behind A Third
Roosevelt Term

The red front boom for a third term for President
Roosevelt being developed it learned yesterday by
the mailing of thousands of pamphlets by Earl browaer
general secretary of the communist party in the Onlteo
States These pamphlets also being sold widely In
bookshops handling radical literature
Browder states that the communist party's rate of
growth is slowing up the membership approaches the
100000 mark He declares the party is in healthy cond
ton nevertheless and asserts that rapid growth long mas
been abandoned goal.
Outlines Communist Strategy
"Since the communist party will apparently not be in
position elect it's candidate to the presidency in
194O the phamphlet says "the alignment of forces in
cur country's political life which will determine
nation for the next period must be studied in
the broad fields outside the communists immediate inu
ence mainly in Democratic and Republican parties.
Figures of past elections show that the Democratic
party always minority found its only chance of vic
tory espousng the popular radical This coa
ton represents the only possible basis for Democratic
party victory in 1940.'
Radicals have choice but to work for Roosevelt
victory in the Democratic national convention Browd-
er writes A mass demand that Roosevelt shall challenge
the third term tradition is growing and must be fosered
in every way he states.
He Poses A Question
"Shall the twentyseven million New Deal voters al
low their unity be shattered with the inevitable
quence of handing cheap victory to the Tory Repub
party rather than break the tradition against third
p? Browder asks then Cor shall they drive
forward to victroy again with Roosevelt despite that ira
ditinn - ..-..a-.-~..
Voters who members of trade unions will pay lit
tie attention the tradition he predicts Unless another
candidate the Roosevelt type is found (Which he
CARDS unlikely) Roosevelt must again. Browder
states
Browder outlines his program for the New Deal:
Increasing accumulations of idle capital and idle
power be united in productive activity, by
removing the government from the economic field but
the contrary only by constantly increasing
al initiative, activity, and control in certain specified
branches of the national economy"

Mother

We can only have one mother,
Patient. kind, and true,
No other friend in all this world
viii be so true to you.
For all her loving kindness
She asks nothing in return,
If all the world desert you
No other you can earn.
She loves to have you around her,
And sorry when you are away;
Your mother is the only friend
Who'll keep you happy all the day.
Your mother is a happy friend
And will lend helping hand
When all the world forsakes you,
There your mother will remain.
Your mother will not leave you
No matter what you do,
When mother prays her daily prayer
She always will remember you.
You ought to love your mother,
And continue to the end.
Your mother will stay near you.
For she is your dearest friend.

there is no reason why, If you are
handy at sewing, you cannot turn

The pleated vogue continues a big
factor in print-dress styling. The
latest call is for pleated bodice as
well as pleated skirt. The model
conferred in the group gives the
idea. This short-sleeved daytime
dress is made of pure dye printed
silk crepon with white medallions
conferred with green and magenta
on an orange yellow ground. These
sun-gold print silks are the 'last

New looking and stunning in eff

plain silk fabrics as carried out in

skirt section and the lapels on the
bodice are of monotone silk weave,
worn over a dress of white

monotone skirt is removable thus
affording two-dresses-in-one, very
practical idea to say the least.

First Into Antarctic

HEY tell tall tales OF explOra-
L tons in the Antarctic. None of
them can compare, though, with the
trip of Nathanial B. Palmer if sheer
adventure is the standard. Away
back in 1920 he was the first voyag-
er to reach the northern fringe Of
the Antarctic continent.
A tall, blonde, Connecticut Yam
kee, Nat Palmer was still only in
his teens when he made the voy-
age as skipper Of the sloop Hero.
The ship which penetrated farther
south than any other up until that
time was only so feet long-half the
size of the sailboat America" orig
inal winner of the first Americas
Cup race in 1851.
The voyage is more remarkable,
too, when you consider that it was
made almost 100 years before the
poles were finally reached.
Palmer himself has said, 81 point

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
A River Is Their Memorial

A WAY back in 1889 Pierre and
> Paul Mallet, Canadian traders,
heard Of the wealth of far-away
Santa Fee where, it was said, the
Spanish senors wore silver buttons
on their clothes and the senoritas
had silver heels on their slippers.
So they enlisted six other venture
some Canadians and after a long
journey by boat and pack train, ar
rived in the New Mexican capital.
The Spanish governor was friend
ly but there was a law against
free trading. So the Mallets start
ed north, crossed the headwaters of
the Canadian (called the Colorado
by the Spaniards because of its red
waters) and followed up the Pur-
gatoire to its junction with the Ar
kansas. There the party split up.
Three of the men, who were home
sick, started overland for Canada
and eventually reached Montreal
safely.
The Mallets, accompanied by two
others, went down the Arkansas and
the Mississippi to New Orleans,
where they reported their explora-
tons to Bienville, the governor,
whose efforts to find a route to San
ia Fe had been unsuccessful. He
engaged them to guide another ex-
petition led by Andre de la Bruyere,
a royal officer, who was to ascend
the Mississippi and Arkansas to the
mouth of the Canadian, which the
Mallets correctly guessed arose
less than 40 leagues from Santa
Fe."
When ;. the Canadian dwindled
away to mere brook in central
Oklahoma, Bruyere sat down to wait
for it to rise, instead of buying
horses from the Osages to transport
his goods, as the Mallets advised
him to do. But it was a dry year
and, after waiting six months, Bruy-
ere went back to New Orleans. The
Mallets returned to Canada, where
they disappeared from history, but
today the Canadian river is 100
mile-long memorial to the two
brothers "whose wanderings rank
them on par with La Salle."

fortune took her from behind it's
walls and started her on her career
of adventure.
She was in Seattle when the SIAM

the gold rush and finally found her
self in rip-roaring Dawson City.
There she became the belle of the
bars and a favorite of the bearded
prospectors who came to town eager
to spend money after their struggles
to gain a fortune from the frozen
soil. They showered their nuggets
upon 'Klondike Kate"-she often
made as much as $3.50 night by
singing and dancing for them. Once
a miner gave her $3.50 in 'dust"
simply for the privilege Of sitting
and talking to her.
But like many others, she brought
little of her money back to the
States with her when the boom days
were over. Finally in 1888 she re-
ceived a letter from 70-year-old
John Matson, who had known her
in the Dawson City days and who
wanted to marry her. The marriage
took place in Vancouver, B. C.
