unmasked its principal line of at
tack, although Willkie has signaled
that he means to smite Roosevelt

Debate Assured.
Although the President declines
his opponents challenge for joint
debate on the visible platform, there
will be as good as face e-to-face dis
cussion by radio. F. D. r. plans only
relatively few key campaign ad-
dresses, but on each occasion will
undoubtedly reply to specific asser-
tions or charges leveled at him from
Willkie platforms. Thereupon, if
necessary, can ensue rebuttal by
the G. o. P. nominee the next time
he speaks. Thus, in effect, there will
be more or less continuous Roose-
velt-Willkie debate on the air, ir-
stead of on the hustings. Immeas-
! urably more seasoned in political
jousting, Roosevelt may be trusted
to handle himself effectively in any
verbal fisticuffs Willkie chooses to
precipitate.

Is the title of the first full-length
life story of the Presidents wife,
just written by Ruby Black, prom
inent Washington newspaperwoman
1t is to be published October II.
the day Mrs. Roosevelt will be Sc
years old. . A close friend of the
Presidents wife, Miss Black has
reported nearly all her press con-
ferences and speeches, has gone
down in coal mines and into slums
with her, flown with her to Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, and
visited her in her various homes.
Mrs. Roosevelt has also been a call
er at Miss Blacks Virginia subur-
ban home. The volume deals main
ly with Mrs. Roosevelt's White
House years up to the present
moment, stressing the contrasts of
her early life with what she has
become in this strenuous period of
her career. The book also rounds
up and analyZes Mrs. F. D. RS
motives and methods, in way never
before done. Likely to be read
with most interest at this time are
revelations about Mrs. Roosevelt's
work in politics, under the caption
of "A First Lady's Part in Govern
ment" Miss Black has sought to
give a true picture of her subject,
without indulging in eulogy. Her
manuscript is largely based on ex-
tensive research among people of
all sorts with whom Mrs. Roose-
welt has been associated since 1922,
when she first began to do things
outside her home. The author is
a former president of the Women's
National Press Club and a Texan
by origin.

Natives of the Belgian Congo
number close to 100000. There
are only about 25,ooo whites in the
whole colony.
Here and there, the whites have
changed the ways of the natives,
but in general the old customs have
been kept. There still is widespread
belief in magic and witch doctors.
When native falls sick, he blames
. demon, or spell cast by an enemy.
Many things may be done in an
effort to cure him:
If man falls down in a fit, drums
are beaten near his head. The beat
ing is hard, and it is expected to
wake him up. A victim of fit may
also got little pepper in his eyes!
All OF that may seem silly, but
1t is no more silly than some other
kinds Of Congo treatment. Certain
tribesmen wear a little bundle of
nut shells above the nose to keep
from growing dizzy.
Beetles are burned, and their
ashes are placed on teeth which
cause pain. This is supposed to
take away the pain, or part of the
pain, when the teeth are pulled out.

Witch Charm Failed to Work
By Fontoine Fox

1t was a magic trick Most like
ly the witch doctor had the seed in
his moath, and used his tongue to
give it quick push toward his nose,
from which IL seemed to come.
The witch doctor wrapped the
seed in a leaf, and Simpson took it
with him into the jungle. That day
his shooting was bad, and he did
not bring down any game of i'm
portance. In other words, the
charm didn't work.
If a witch doctors charm fails,
it does not take away all the faith
of the people in his skill They
simply say, Another charm was at
work, and it had more power than
the one used by our witch doctor"

published the name as "Wisteria."
So great was Nuttal's authority

more than 100 years it has been in
