Political
Move BV
FDR Seen
Appointment In
New York Is
Held Probability

WASHINGTON CAMP The
appointment of a Negro federal
Judge in continental United States
in 1910 is predicted freely in Ger
tain circles in Washington.
DESTROYS of holding the great
Negro vote which helped pile up
such terrific majorities for him
in 1882 and 1886, President Roose-
welt is being counselled by men,
oers of his inner circle of poll
dcians to make such an appoint
nent early next year.
The appointment would natural
~ be made in New York where the
concurrence of Senators Meade and
Wagner could be obtained without
deceSSistating or precipitating a
confirmation fight in the senate.
LITTLE UTILIZATION IN
SOUTH
This move naturally would not
De much for the jubilation south of
the Mason-Dixon line and would
also do much to cement relations
in New York between an unfriend-
ly New Deal and Tammany-Which
has experienced some very lean
years here recently. And also, by
virtue of such an appointment,
when and if it is made, strengthen
the Negro vote for Tammany in
the metropolis.
Which naturally brings about
much chatter as to who will be the
eligible man. And what part Her
bet Bruce, leader of the 21st dis
trict, will play in the naming of
the fortunate Individual. There are
many who will answer the last
question with an emphatic none"
but Bruce may be asked out of
courtesy. -,
Another rumor gaining credence
in these parts is to the effect that
Rep. James A. Gavagan, now rep
resentlng the congressional district
embracing most of Harlem, will be
asked to head the New York Coun-
ty Democratic party as the Tam
many hall leader-a position for
merly frightened with prestige,
now empty honor and a headache
-resigning his position as con-
gresham, leaving the Way open
for the naming of a Negro to con-
gress from New York.
MOVE STARTED BEFORE
Years ago, New York started
such move to send a Negro to
congress. with the move gaining
momentum through the work OF
George Harris, former politico-
neWsman. But OPPOSITION to Harris
was SO strong, the nomination he
himself sought was peddled
through the city with first one
strong candidate ana then another
turning the offer down.
At last, it went to former Aid. E.
A. Johnson, a brilliant lawyer and
writer, but whose advancing years
made him an almost impossible
candidate. johnson, however, spent
some money and made a very
creditable showing even in de-
| feat.
DELANEY REWARDED
The following election inStruc-
items were sent New York to desi-
nate another Negro for the dis
trict, but, according to insiders
Johnson was to be eliminated and
a weaker opponent selected. HUI
bert H. Delaney, as unknown, eX-
cept for the fact that he was a
awyer and had married Emmett
SCOTS daughter, was the selection
Political observers believe Delaney
is now being rewarded for the ter
rifle beating he took in that cleo
ton.
However, New York will well
come the appointment if Mr.
Roosevelt goes through with his
advisors plans, for New York is
hungry and is jealous of Chicago
which has received more New Deai
political plums than has its big
brother on the Hudson.

thought when the holidays roll
around again?
This IS the week when every ef-
fort is turned toward fun and
jollity, when all the things that
have been so carefully planned and
worked out bear joyous fruit, and
all thought is toward enjoyment.
This year it seems doubly 50, with
all the world in turmoil, and SIM
pie though our homes and possess
sions may be they are still ours
and those within are safe from
harm. May the deep contentment
of an old-fashioned holiday be
yours this year.
Next week another years work
and play begins. New dreams and
ideas already are stirring which
will be started on their way, and
new plans for your home will be
the hub Of all of this.
New improvements
Are Offered.
The markets are Offering new
fabrics, furniture and accessories
which are more attractive and
practical, it seems than ever be-
fore. The time has come when dec
orators realize that a house must
be lived in and have ceased to set
it up like a stage on which the
whole effect is destroyed the mo-
ment one stick Is out of place.
Rugs. upholstery and draperies are
all washable. Wood finishes are
dull, waxey and do not show
scratches. Table tops, in almost any
good furniture have a finish that
will not show water marks. All these
things which some years ago were
the mark of luxury are now within
reach of the average pocketbook,
and the satisfaction they bring in
lifetime use cannot be measured in
dollars.
This is a good time to take stock
of your house ana make plans for
new purchases. There will be furni-
ture sales and linen sales i'll the
next two months which offer you
the opportunity TO fill in with the
details that have been lacking. The
one corner that needs a reading
lamp might be furnished, or a
tiny table placed beside the COM
Portable chair that requires it.
Guests during the holidays may
have intimated that the guestroom
is not as comfortable as you would
have it If it were your own room,
and new mattresses may be in
order. There are several new types
offered this year, and January is
the month to purchase beds and
bedding supplies.
Here are best wishes to you in
your house and in your plans for
it, at the season of the year when
home means more than at any
other time!

Manners
of the
Moment

A girl should learn how to turn
a man down for a dance, as well as
how to accept him. There may
come a day when she'll want to
know. If her pet hate walks up
and wants a dance, her first reac-
ton may be to stand stifhy before
him, nose and chin in air, and say
mo" I call that way mean.
Another way 1t is handled is with
stammering and blushing and f1imsy
excuses which often break down
before a persistent follower. That
is no fun.
It's best to have things worked
out. You can say that the next
dance is taken, which, of course, is
the perfect way. But If the dance
isn't taken you'll have to know how
to hide yourself behind dancing cou-
pies until you have reached the
ladies' room. Another way is to
produce a badly stepped-on toe. This
requires a chair and will result in
a sitdown. An excellent method is
to have a brother or q friend of
the family's somewhere about with
whom you have arranged a signal
system for cut-ins.
Sometimes, though, it's easier just
to go ahead and dance. It prob
ably won't kill you. JEAN.

Teach Child
TOFinish
His Job
Don't Relieve Him
Of Duty Because
It Is IrksOme
By ANGELO PATRI.

There is way to freedom for
every human soul. Nothing is easier
than the belief of bondage, persecu-
ton, injustice-the pressure of evil
upon ones life. Something goes
wrong; hope vanishes; faith is be-
trayed; sorrow comes, and the faint
heart signs, Who am I to fight
against fate?"
He is the same 81" as moves
Valiant of Heart to rise after each
fall. to press on after each re-
pulse, to fight against all odds and
win. Each soul has its own battle
to fight to gain its freedom, and
there will be no sameness in them.
What is the same is the fact of
the battle to be won and the power
of the warrior. Both are assured.
The old proverb says it neatly:
God prepares the rack for the bur-
den."
1t is best to teach every child
that his life is in his hands and
his strength is within himself.
Teach him that he must do the
thing he fears to do or it will con-
quer him. And this he must do
day by day, for even one days
progress lost is a great loss.
Mean what you say. Believe 1t.
Act on it. That means when young
son whines and says, "You come
with me: don't want to ask him"
that you say, This is your job.
"I've gone as far as can with you.
You must do now for yourself" and
give him gentle push and hearty
Good luck to you"
1t means, too, that when you have
to share with a child what you both
need that you actually share and
do not give him your share to spare
him a feeling of want. 1t is harder
to do that than it is to make the
generous gesture and let him have
1t all without a word about the
need or the lack. But his spiritual
understanding needs to be built on
experiences like this, and by keep
ing them from him you cheat him.
If you teach him to take without
regard to what he gives you can do
him no greater disservice.
1t means, too, that when you see
him striving and struggling to
achieve some purpose of his own
that you do not insist upon helping
him. You do not give him money
that he has set out to earn; you do
not do work he started to accom-
plish; you do not relieve him of
duty because it has grown irksome
to him. You let him find his way.
This is easier to say than for
parents to do. It is hard to listen
to complaining child, harder still
to see one grieving without going
to his aid. It is heart-wracking to
see a child longing for something
when you, by making sacrifice,
could get 1t for him, but the greater
good for the child is in your with
holding, just as the greater sacrifice
of yourself lies there. Give him
comfort, encouragement; help ease
his way, but don't take over his task
Of developing his own soul.

capped, but even those are to be
encouraged to keep trying to help
themselves. Never is q child to be
encouraged to feeling of martyr
dom. Of persecution and hard luck.
Point out that every child born into
this world brings his power with
him. His strength lies within him.
Help him 70 discover 1t, but don't

they might have had. We made
their lives drab and dull instead of
bright and colorful.
Why? Maybe selishness. Maybe
arrogance Maybe the determina-
ton to rule another. Maybe in
difference to another's happiness.
Maybe just stupidity. But the real
ization of our crime against those
whose happiness was in our hands
comes. too late when we pour our
remorse into deaf, dead ears.
Married happiness is made up of
husbands remembering birthdays;
Of paying their wives compliments;
Of a 15-cent BUNCH of violets and
a pound of candy; of trips to the
movies and praise for a good dinner.
1t Is made up of wife's tenderness
for her husband; of her realization
Of the strain under which he works;
Of her bucking him up when he is
downhearted and making him feel
that he can 60 out and conquer; of
her forbearing to nag him; of her
giving him freedom to belong to a
club and to stay downtown to din
ner without having to lie about it.
AS this correspondent says, it is a
great thing for wife to remember
when her husband is dead that she
made him happy But If you want
to make your husband happy, you
must do it now. Today. We pass
this way but once.

and color, of the placing of furniture
and the arrangement of flowers.
Each in its way is important, but
during the holiday season they are
all merged in satisfactory con-
tentment which comes from the
warmth and glow of freight, the
CLEAN of candles and the play of

Meeting Place
For Family.
1t is time to be human and
happy and foolishly sentimental
about families and friends, and to
realize how completely your four
walls encompass all the things that
the world has considered important
since time began Older boys and
girls are home from school to
dance and sing and use their home
as the center of all excitement and
activity. There are little ones still
small enough to believe in Santa
Claus to make the fun of make
believe" real to all the rest. Grand
mothers and grandfathers, uncles
and aunts and all their friends are
spending the holidays or may drop
IN for visit, and so your home acts
as magnet to draw real con-
tentment and Joy to you. Who can
say that a home Is not worth all

cause somebody is likely to have his
feelings hurt.
When the dancing starts, here's a
fine way to mix the crowd up and
keep any of the girls from blossom
ing along the wall. Give each man
a fancy paper hat. For the first
dance, he chooses a partner and
places the hat on her head-and
every man must choose a partner.
The girl wears the hat throughout
the dance. For the second number,
the girls choose their partners by
placing the hats on the boys heads.
This continues throughout the
evening, with the girls getting to
pick their partners for half the
dances. And what could be more
appropriate for a party on New
Year Eve? After all, 1910 is leap
year!
P. S.-We mustn't run away and
leave you all tied up! The secret
OF separating the boy and girl whose
wrists are tied is as follows: The
boy takes the cord joining the girls
wrists, slips it through the loop
around one Of his own wrists, and
over his hand. The boy and girl
will then find themselves free.
Sounds complicated, but it's actually
very simple.

nm and feSftNI beauty.

Dear Miss Dix: I was married II
years. In all that time my husband
and I never had a single quarrel.
We lived our lives together. We
cultivated mutual friends and when
we had them at our house both Of
us tried to make them welcome. I
did not try to separate my husband
from his men friends, and it was
my pleasure when he gave stag
party to get up the very best meal
I could for his guests, then, when
everything was arranged, take the
children and just fade out of the
picture. Thank heaven we lived so
smoothly together and that I did
all of these things just as he liked
them. He has gone from me now
and I shall never have another OPP
portunity to do anything to please
him. It Is great to feel that you
have made somebody happy, and it
is so easy If you are halfway loving
and understanding. Also, it is great
fun. LAURA,
I wish that every wife who reads
this column would cut this woman's
letter out and keep it where she can
see it every day, for it contains not
only the whole philosophy for how
to be happy though married, but
warning that would save many a
woman bitter tears of regret If she
would only heed it.
The greatest grief that can come
to any of us is to lean above the
coffined forms of those we have
loved and who loved us and know
that we could have made them
happy and that we did not do 1t.
We did not speak the loving words
they longed to hear. We did not
give them the appreciation that
would have made their hard work
for us worth while. We never en-
tered into their enthusiasts. We
deprived them Of little pleasures
