4 Could Kick Myself

Have you ever said that, when
you have missed an opportunity
that stared you in the face, or
done something against your bet
ter judgment?
If so, read on. A thoughtful
mayor has provided an ingenious
machine whereby you can kick
yourself as often and as hard as
you please. It's in small town
in South Carolina and was erected
in 1887. You sit on a parallel bar
and turn a handle. The handle
rotates a windmill arrangement

AS you turn, still full of annoyance
with yourself, and believing that
you thoroughly deserve it, the
boots come round and administer
a hearty kick in the pants.
You can then rise and go on
your way, resolved that never
again will you merit such self
punishment. Until next timeI

MON-MON-MONEY:

The house slapped through mere
billion dollar Labor-Security appro-
priation, voted down about a quar-
ter of million for the ailing Ma
tional Labor Relations board, which
has been getting panning on many
fronts, and approved ST., 450, 900 for
the National Youth administration.
The Civilian Conservation corps,
one New Deal institution generally
approved by Tories and pinks alike,
stood in for $50, O0O, 900 worth of gov
eminent gold.
The President got back to his Of
flee desk after a lengthy and fevered
cold. He talked to Sumner Welles,
fresh in from Europe, and gave out
indications of pessimism as to any
early peace abroad. Opponents OF
the President limited that he did not
want peace abroad, until the allies
won by 2 knockout. Senator Van
denberg got off an epic: Lets swap
horses, and stay on this side of the
stream" Senator Taft limited that
the New Deal was heading toward
a totalitarian state; statement
with which many calm political sci
entists, who neither like nor dislike
fascism, tend to agree.
But, despite Vandenberg and Taft
and others, Secretary Hull succeed
ed in beating the Pittman amend
ment to the Trade Agreements res
olution, which would restore to the
senate the power to ratify all future
reciprocal trade pacts. Vanden-
berg, at this point, declared that the
Roosevelt-Hull trading system would
cost Uncle Sam his shirt. 1t was
a close senatorial vote: A to Al.
The New Deal tide was promoted by
three anti-Roosevelt Democratic
senators, who evidently preferred
Hull, whom they consider One of
the Boys. It was a lucky thing for
the White House, that it had not
succeeded in purging these three,
way back in pre-War 1888.
